I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S II and I am so excited! However I have to learn a whole new community. I'm moving from a Galaxy S Vibrant. I know a lot of the Vibrant community moved to Galaxy S II so a lot of the stuff is familiar. Do any of you remember the bible (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111) that was posted in the Vibrant dev sub forum? I'm hoping to make something like that, or someone with knowledge of the community to build something like that. It's so helpful.
Check the stickies and hope you enjoy your new phone.

When you get ready to ROM....
I would say try GingerSnap, Juggernaut and Bombardier.
One of the best was BeastMod but dude got banned.
Once you mess around and get familiar with the phone...you will probably do what a lot of us have done....go back to stock, root the phone and grab a copy of Titanium Backup and start deleting bloat.
The best battery and performance is stock. Just install a battery manager if you want from the market.
Later.
I have 2 ROMs out be sure to try them as well as the many great other ROMs we have

Welcome and enjoy, you need a thick skin with this community but once you wade thru the crap, it's actually a nice group of people.

Hi everyone!
Some of you may know my virtual identity because I try to answer a lot of questions that people have in this forum. Anyways I moved on to the sensation (I know it's older but development is amazing) because my screen was terrible even after replacements and even though our development is starting to pick up (thanks to our amazing devs here) the phone itself has caused me to move on.
Back to the point, in the sensation forum, they have this sticky that I think helps tremendously with keeping order, preventing flaming, etc. the link is below and I think it would help if something like that was put here as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194325
Farewell and thanks to community, Allgamer, raverx3x,m&s, Eugene, racing1399, whitehawx, tdj, and others I'm missing out!
Can we do this? The flaming is more than a handful of usual suspects.
I like this.
To many kids on xda it reminds of being in high-school, and I don't like it.

Read through the ROMS posted and find one with features that fit your wants. Some are performance driven, and some are customization driven. Only you know what your looking for. Start reading threads in the development forums.

Dude, stop it, we are not going to answer anything on this thread. After being chastised you still find ways to come back and now put forward requirements for your perfect ROM, for the community to hunt or build for you? Classy...
Three knives in the back of indian
My ROM is the greatest of all!!
No. Not really. :laugh:
The greatest ROM of all is the one you build yourself.
All ROMs are great to each of the members using it.
You will need to make a backup and try each until one suits YOU
Everybody uses their phone differently so they cannot decide for you
This is why these threads get closed
Hello guys! My name's Jose and I came over from the galaxy s 4g forums. I finally decided that I needed something better
So, I was wondering if yall could give me some of your opinions on some ROMs to check out? I Havent rooted this bad boy yet but ill read up on that later. Thanks guys and I hope I can bring some help to this awesome phone's community!

Agreed, there are at least 4 threads on this matter and all you have to look at is the amount of support (change log) and look to see what you like after 2 hours max of reading you will find what vest suits you. At least do some research (state the rom and the features you want, need, and questions you have about each rom) and then you'll get some responses that aren't derived from frustration at laziness.

Or after reading you can just post any further questions here as it may be helpful toward the community. I'll probably see it updated and I'll give you personal feedback. I've flashed them all and tested for at least two days even took notes down at one point lol.

As some of you may know flappjaxxx had created a Hercules specific kernel for our phone with OC/Uv capabilities. Unfortunately only after 1 day of dealing with a few xda members he has decided to shut it down. I just like to say one thing about this we have to remember these developers do things that they may like and then they share it with us. If it does not meet your satisfaction I would suggest you then find a way to make it fit your needs and definitely not complain.
With that said he informed me that updates if any(I asked him to not stop for Hercules) can be found on his goo.im page http://goo.im/devs/flappjaxxx/t989
Thanks flappjaxxx for giving us a choice if only for a day... Not trying to have this be a back and forth just letting people know he will try and do updates when they are needed I guess and where to find it.
If you want to discuss anything about the kernel since the thread was closed feel free to get it started in here... To me the vibration is better than the other custom kernel and interactive makes my screen react faster. I do not have the lag I was having before, still checking out battery life of course
Peace!
It's ashamed that the tread had to closed that quick. Begger can't be chooser and I can't blame flapp for doing so.

We had 1 choice of kernels the man gave us another one and because it was not the same as DAGr8 you complain... If it was the exact same then why even post it? Sorry it just did not make sense to me nor does alot of stuff I read here but maybe its just me...
Why are people so rude? It's one thing to offer constructive criticism, but to unnecessarily bash someone's work because you don't agree with it? It's ridiculous. I'm glad that this kernel will still be updated every now and again. My phone's running a lot smoother since I flashed it.

I also flashed this kernel a few hours ago and I'm really impressed, especially on how quick it puts my phone into deep sleep. This will definitely improve battery life and the performance in general is amazing!
I hope he sees how much his work is appreciated and not let the ignorant MF's out there get to him. People need to be more appreciative and respectful of the devs that put in the work they do

I agree. I was using Wicked for a long time and decided to give Frosty a try, and I loved it. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I also have great battery life with it. I will keep using it for a while. Hopefully DJ will come back.

I know the frustration of seeing someone complain about something know to be issues or someone thinking it's a problem with the rom when no one else has issues. Just remember we where all noobs at one time or another and remember that one person that helped you out with something vs the person that flamed you for not knowing.

I was that at one point also, when the G1 came out and JesusFreke was making roms, and people had to use ADB to obtain root and be able to flash things. I learned since then and read and read and read. The problem now a days is that most don't care to read a little, or at all. Most of the questions asked in a thread are answered, or been discussed, or don't even belong in the dev section. This is extremely aggravating to the devs, or themers, when they right up a huge OP and no one uses it, and just clutters up their dev thread with useless questions and/or nonconstructive criticism. I don't blame him for quitting or locking the thread, if people feel it's at its prime, then leave it alone and don't touch it anymore. Most of the TouchWiz roms have the best version yet to come, or they came and went a while ago. Most of the mods they incorporated are flashable on your own, anyways. Thank him and respect decisions, or use one of the other 10+ TouchWiz roms.

Jesusfreke was the pioneer of modding for Android. Without him I believe that we would not be as far with android as devs, manufacturers, or even android its self.
Look at thouchwiz its self with the toggles in the notification Window. This came from cm. We the community can end up pushing for devs with true innovation to go back underground where their work is not seen in mass people, Google, or manufacturers. Then android may end up missing what could become greatness all for petty arguments. I follow one such dev in a private forum and it's a shame he was forced to by thing like this.

Thanks you for being civil about it, but the time for this thread has expired.
