stock for me..everytime. as nice as some custom roms are, for me, they aren't anywhere near as stable as stock roms....tried a few customs roms but always go back to stock. only change kernals now. |

CheckROM RevoHD v4 has zero bugs.Its base is stock,with removal of most things Samsung with the addition of major tweaking.Thats the purpose of the kitchen pro app thats preinstalled.To build up your rom as you want.So everything works.
Theres no way on this S2 that I would choose a semi functional rom over the stock.The stock is just to good.Its so good you dont even need custom roms.I just like playing and improving on what I have.Since it can get better than it is.

So how do I install this RevoHD v4? I'm not used to flashing with the Samsung.
I have stock XXKI3 and CWR installed (latest). What do I need to do, just download the RevoHD v4 rom and flash with CWR?

I hate recommending and assisting people when flashing roms because some people breeze through the process whereas others can end up with a big mess on their hands.If you are familiar though with using Recovery and have flashed roms before using Recovery you should be one of those people that breeze through it.Coming from an X10 I was also a bit wary but after going through the process it is exactly the same.
Here is the link to the CheckROM thread on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312240
The download is about halfway down the page.
Inmportant:Put the rom zip file that you download on the root of your internal SD and not your external SD.
Also remember to make a backup of your present stock rom in case anything goes wrong.Other than that do a full wipe,flash the zip via Clockwork Recovery and Bobs your uncle.
Im taking it for granted that you know how to flash a rom via CWR thats why its all so vague but to answer your question yes,just flash the rom with CWR. (with the difference been putting the zip in the root of your internal SD and not the external SD)

just bought gta3 from the android market. lovely looking game. runs quite smoothly. needs further optimization me thinks.anyhow, on my gs2, it will not run without chainfire 3d...maybe because my kernal is customized. i have the tegra plugin selected in chainfire...may try nvidia plugin and see if that makes any difference. played for twenty minutes or so....enjoyed beating a passer by with my fists lmao. robbed a car, then drove straight into a dude with it lol. plenty of claret. game is 3.23 on the market. initial download of 8meg and then a further download of 425mb. |

Work are coming through with an S2 for me, being ordered tomorrow... Nexus is just too expensive... 250 compared to 100! Cant justify that me thinks...
Also, received an email from Mobilefun letting me the extended battery was back in stock... So... just ordered one!
Downloaded Hyperdroid_Androidmeda_v4.0.0 and will be giving the MidnightBlack surgeon a try... Hopefully both will arrive by Tuesday...
Cant bloody wait... Most looking forward to really being able to use G+ to the full on the go... |
