Note also this is my first Android phone so I'm pretty much a newbie at modding it. Anyone got any suggestions or directions to newb-friendly sites where I could get started? Help much appreciated  | ||

Litening for SGS is the total opposite. 1. Download ROM and flashing tool 2. Plug cable and open the flashing tool. 3. Press OK. You have a new awesome ROM and the phone is automatically rooted. | ||

But seriously, flash your phone, it's safe, and it makes everything so much better. You won't regret it. | ||

I don't use any widget. The most energy consuming app is my SNES emulator. Playing a few hours uses half the battery. | ||

hmm just upgraded to ninphetamine2.1.3 kernel w/ litening. battery seems to be going down slower than previously. going to charge to 100% and see how much it goes down over night on standby again. | ||

If I don't play Chrono Trigger and only use the phone for calls / texts / emails it even lasts over 4 days. I'm using Litening 2.2 with XXKG1 kernel. | ||

Rooting is unlocking acces to everything on the phone right ? And after its rooted you can instal different roms ? A rom is like some kind of operating system ? | ||

- "A ROM" is like "a car" nothing in specific but a body, wheels, engine, and paint. a general standard vehicle. - "Each ROM" or each developer is like an auto maker. Each has their own style, options, focus and customer base. Some are luxury, others economy and some are fully loaded! Some are fully packed and heavy and others are base models and very light. You get to get to choose what you like or need, and for once "price is no object" (donating is appreciated) But you almost always get a whole car! - "Framework" or "Build" - is like the frame of a car, you cant put SUV parts in a Honda. It just won't work unless you rebuild from scratch (and if you can do that, you would laugh at this analogy!) Parts / Kernels / Mods must be compatible with that framework and that framework must be compatible with your phone. - "Rooting" or getting a "rooted ROM" is like getting the keys and permission to change ANYTHING in your car! But you dont have a warranty anymore! - "The Kernel" is like the engine and power systems, it is the "software" engine, it does work and ties all the components together. And engines can be upgraded and tuned up for performance or down for economy! - The theme is like the paint job. pure looks and enjoyment! - Other dialers, meta-morphs, mods ect are all after market fun changes, once again only looks not usually any more function. - The launcher (no rooting or romming needed) is alot like your interior, its the seat you sit in and the controls you touch 75% of the time, until you dig through your glove box or fuse box (back to rom) tips for modding.. just remember to backup all your files and stuff before you do anything just in case there's a million guides on xda forums on how to do everything | ||
