[Q] so overwhelmed, please help

Ok I just got my new t-mobile galaxy s2 on they're sale yesterday. I haven't hadan Android phone in like a year.so I have some general questions.
What are some of the more popular roms for this phone?
Are there any issues I should be aware of when rooting and installing cwm and a ROM?
Are there any general problems I should be aware of with this phone overall?
Thank you very much for the help.

Juggernaut and Macnut are great roms, I prefer stock though. You should give those a try.. As far as issues, the only thing is the vertical lines and blobs on the display when you turn the brightness all the way down. You can see it on most Grey backgrounds in a low light environment.

Welcome! I am new here also. Spent weeks lurking in the shadows reading and flashing and reading and flashing some more. There are volumes of knowledge here at xda, not to mention some pretty good ppl.

Welcome to xda ...its a great resource for android but there are a few things you need to be aware of...if you ask a question in the development forums that's already been asked or answered...be prepared to get reamed by someone...as such learn to use the search function effectively...always read through the op and thread posts thoroughly...also be sure to post in the correct sections.. lastly get to know adb before you mess with your phone...other than that the community is pretty chill...just that at times it can be overwhelming to new comers...as long as you do your research though and follow the rules put forth by the mods and rom devs you should be fine.

I've been lurking off and on for a long time lol, realized I joined the forums in June of 2008 but just within the last few days posted anything. Also just got a "real" phone (s3) to even really get down to playing around with since then too but regardless ha just saying you're not alone in the noob world of xda that's for sure

That really shows the type of people that go through the forums. Once they installed their first 2 or 3 roms and kernels, and looked through 4 pages of android development, they feel they know everything. I really wish dj could leak that final Frosty rom update one day...

And all over battery life. Mine us great, but even have had bad days where battery just drained. To many factors to say its the rom. And why argue it there. I dont undersrand sone people. They just want a fight.

It was the fact that 5 people were commenting on the same darn thing that wasn't even related to the rom. That's what PMing is for bros.

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.

What was the persons name that insulted DJ, I'll get 'em... I think DJ will be back, he loves this way too much, one way or another he'll be back.

I couldn't post on the original tred and I wanted to say that frosty rom is the smoothest rom of all for me with no problems at all of any kind and I tried them all. It behaves the way just I want it. Thank you Mr. Dev and god bless you.

So he took his ball and went home. Don't worry about the thousands that love your work and your ROM (myself included by the way), just the handful that criticize it.

I am saddened by what has gone down. I remember a time when post where constructive and not a pissing match. Unfortunately with more and more people come here and join the chances of this happening grows.
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'm seeing the same thing happening in other development threads, and my fear is that it's going to force the XDA mods to lock the entire site to developers only.

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.

Haha don't exaggerate while there are a few dummies out there, most of us are well behave at the end of the day we are the consumers.

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.

Hey guys,
I let this thread go for awhile (I was logged on when he created it) and you all have said your piece/peace, in an almost professional manner which I for one appreciate very much. But now it is time for this OT thread to be closed. I do invite you to the Official OT thread to continue this discussion, as a few have already been doing.
Thanks you for being civil about it, but the time for this thread has expired.

[KERNEL] Request DualBoot Kernel T999

Hi folks, I have a flamming subject today. I am the onlyone would would cut a finger to have a dualboot kernel like on the Internationnal version? I mean why are we the only device to not have this ? Rarz got one, S3 4 core got one, HTC one too and now they are planning the S4. I hate juggling between backups.
If it is money it need i'm ready to give some via paypal, and I dont think I'll be the only one that will support that developpment. Imagine switching with one click from AOSP latest CM to a touchwiz based ROM.
I dont want to be burried because of this post but seriously this would be awesome.

Hell I'd give my left ball for one lol. No time or motivation to learn to code for it (I wanna be spoon fed lol jk). But you might want to edit the title to say its a request or something to keep the bashers away as there are some hardcores on here (and the occasional just plain D#%KS haha) who will berate this post and I am sure its title.

I'd love to have dual boot on my s3.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I didn't even realize that this was the t999 was the only version that didn't have a dualboot kernel

I remember I wanted this ability super bad about a year ago but figured the devs would eventually get around to it. So disappointed that this just never happened as I'm constantly forced to choose an OK ROM over a great ROM due to 1 or 2 important (though often rarely used) features. If I could dualboot I would benefit from using a great ROM (AOSP based) as my daily driver and switch, only when necessary, to take advantage of modified/stock benefits like better driver support for video recording. A "feature" I only really need when on vacation or at an event.
I'm not sure how dualbooting works exactly. Is this a kernel feature, as everyone seems to be suggesting, and wouldn't that force us to use 1 and only 1 kernel for all our ROMs?

Need Some Info Help

I am trying to decide between the Note and the Tab 3 8.
I know all the spec differences between the two. I always root and run custom roms on my devices and I was wondering if the roms available for the Note 8 support the s-pen.
Any info will be greatly appreciated!

I've tried to create a thread on this too, but it got removed fast. I guess it's better to clog every single thread with questions regarding S-pen functionality...

Note 8.0 has more than just an S-pen. Just all around better device. That is why it costs more than the Tab 3 8.0.
