So I just got my phone today, and it is more than I expected, really enjoying it.

[image loading]

Now, I'm really keen into modding it even more. At the moment I've currently got Cognition S2 installed, but I don't know where else I can experiment fiddling around with stuff.

I guess this blog is to discuss what you've put on your Android phone/suggestions as to what else I could do with mine.

I'll be getting one of these phones pretty soon. I'm excited, but I've never used Android before.

what's so good about cyanogen that makes it better than other roms? its features don't really want me to sway away from cognition.

Its developers are just ridiculously consistent and timely with updates. Also, you really don't like its features? :O Their changelogs are amazingly long and it comes with an insane number of features, though~

Also, it is very stable and is generally considered the gold standard of rooted ROMs afaik

CM7 also has a theme changer application with which you can change basic theme elements almost instantaneously and without having to reboot etc

Get your phone rooted as soon as possible though! :D

I mean, it all comes down to how much you care. There are a lot of ridiculously awesome sites and you can very significantly mod your phone, but it does take a while.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as modding (I have not rooted my sgs2) but here's what my homescreens look like:

Apps used:

Launcher Pro Plus: best launcher out of all the ones I've tried for sgs2. Zero transition lag, very smooth and costumizable, nice looking widgets in the paid version (i.e. the calendar widget I use). It's also nice to be able to customize the dock, can also swipe between 3 different docks just like homescreens.

Custom Launcher Icons: Best icon modding app I could find. Used it to change all icons to the glowing white ones and to change or remove the app titles

BobClockD3: Clock widget on 1st homescreen, looks simple and elegant

SiMi Folder Pro: Used it to customize the folders to match my glowing white icons

On/off widgets: convenient widgets to quickly turn on/off stuff like wifi or change brightness on the fly

Uh and a lot of other apps to replace the standard ones. Most notably Quick Pic (gallery), Power Amp Pro (media player), Daum Maps (instead of google maps) and smart keyboard pro (awesome keyboard).

wow, launcher pro was so neat. i actually decided to buy it because it is damn good (and i wanted to use the calendar widget!)

as of my rom, still using cognition... only problem i find is that i can't find a rom that combines the features of the multiple ones out there.

GTR, Y U NO USE IU WALLPAPER? Galaxy S II is IU stuff!

Also, could anyone explain to me what the modding does to the Galaxy S II? Does it void any warranties because it's considered jailbreaking? I'm considering it for my next phone (IU + Stork (for the tablet) endorsement = WIN), and I'm considering whether to get it then have it modded.
