Really freaking fast?

I chose my infuse over the SGS2 because the SGS2 didn't offer much over the infuse to me for the extra 200$. It should be a dual core 1.2ghz processor. It uses the yamaha chip for its sound processing so its a downgrade from the wolfson DAC used on the captivate + infuse. The screen is 4.3? tiny tiny bit smaller than the infuse. for everyday tasks, it doesn't really offer much advantage unless you're doing a lot of word processing, or 3D heavy applications.

GTG/mikeymike have switched over the SGS2 for a week or two and started developping for it so you can expect some pretty sexy ROMS rolling out for it.

I just went though this thread quickly since I have a GS2 as well (awesome phone). I'll look more in to playing with my phone later but I just want to point out that I think some people are actually following this thread for tips/advice.

lets explore my phone... haven't really done too much with it ever since i put on launcherpro.
therefore i'm still running cognition s2 1.5.1 (tried cm but it lagged like hell for some reason) on launcherpro.

lock screen + second lock screen

top left is home screen, top right is calendar, bottom left is twitter/facebook, bottom right is other shit i couldnt fit in.

seems weird that CM7 would lock up on launcher pro. From what i gather, the MIUI port on the infuse that i'm running is using the same CM7 kernal from the GS2 development team but its fine over here. Granted i found the traditional launchers too boring so i opted for launcher7 <3

Smexy update from the PP guys this morning though, i like what they've done xD

which theme are you running alffla? I just swithced back to CM7 after using MIUI for over a month for the stability and speed, but the UI is ugly as hell compared to MIUI.

MIUI has some really nice themes.
Screenshot compression sucks.

Wow that looks amazing. I just got My S2 recently and I have no idea how to mod it. How did you get that theme / screenshot?

Any info would be helpful. Thank you!

You have to install MIUI to get that. look into flashing instructions for the ROM

Is this "rooting" your phone? As I just got it, I'm a bit nervous about voiding my warranty. Thanks btw.

I'd like to ask one more question. I've reviewed a few guides on how to root my S2, but they all refer to downloading ROM's to the external Memory card. Unfortunately I don't have one at this time... should I purchase one before proceeding? Is it safe to "flash" a ROM that is installed in my phone's storage? Thanks x_x
