I've tried it on my phone, doesn't seem to work. I tried MIUI and I got it working.

[iCole]

can anyone briefly explain the difference between MIUI and GalnetMIUI? thanks :buddy:
I'm on shitty EDGE internet in the middle of nowhere so I can't look it up myself.

[ijyt]

Holy fuck the Note is massive and beautiful and I love it yes I do.

Galnet miui has ICS framework and animations amongst a few other changes.

Rooted my Galaxy S II(T989D) and got Cyanogen. I'm loving this phone so far.

Finally got to take a look at it first hand today at a local electronic store and holy shit that thing is massive!

[sp]Hurr durr...[/sp]

[TippZ]

i like cyonagenmod but the smoothness of the stock rom galaxy s2 makes me go back

[Xylem]

I don't know if there's a difference, but which is more stable and better? GalnetMIUI or MIUI.us

[VistaPOWA]

What is the best media player for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (or generally)?

I'll be playing DivX and mkv movies.

Is there a free snes emulator that let's you save? The lite one doesn't let me save, I think.

Snesoid was free for a while, could probably find the APK somewhere.

Anybody know if there is a way to take screenshots without a special app on a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0?

[editline]28th December 2011[/editline]

Is there a Google Talk app so I can make free internet calls to any phone in the US from my player?

[jlj1]

hold the Back key (at least for a second or so) and then press Home (with the Back key still pressed).

If not: [url]https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.tomorrowkey.android.screencaptureshortcutfree&hl=en[/url]
May work

I think Google Voice does that

You can get the emulators off [URL="http://slideme.org/applications?text=yongzh"]Slideme[/URL]

What's the best Galaxy S2 (i9100) Samsung-based ROM? I'm beginning to think it's checkROM, but why does it look so fucking terrible on every screenshot and video? I mean the skins, it's like designed by someone with downs during an epileptic seizure

but then that applies to almost all the ROMs for some reason :(

[長門有希]

Well that's the problem, people make THE UGLIEST shit, and when you comment on that you only get "well if u dont like it dont use"

there's more than one skin you can put on CheckROM

for example I had some ICS theme I got off KitchenPro (app only for CheckROM)

Still need an answer on this.

I love MIUI Mix from Kitchen Pro, It's awesome.

I think I'm just trying to find reasons to flash a custom ROM while I'm almost perfectly happy with stock..
[del]Just one thing - is it possible to completely disable the TouchWiz Lockscreen so it doesnt show up after a call? I'm using WidgetLocker and that TW's USELESS lockscreen just gets in the way.
I know I can disable it in WidgetLocker options, but that seems to also cause every button to wake up the device, which I kind of don't want.[/del]
[B]EDIT:[/B] Volume buttons don't react, TouchWiz is gone. :v: Fuck me for not trying it before I brag.

And uh, another question:
Did anyone try uninstalling (removing the apk and such) built-in Swype in the Stock ROM and installing the official beta? I tried it and everything was working perfectly until I restarted, then Swype totally broke and I couldn't find a fix for this on the swype forums other than "make sure swype isn't installed on your SD card" - it's not. Had to restore the built-in one :(

[I]I've just edited my build.prop file to enable HW rendering. Speeeeeeeeeeed :v:[/I]

HW rendering? On Gingerbread??

[iCole]

[QUOTE=Ezhik;33936816]HW rendering? On Gingerbread??[/QUOTE]
Add [B]debug.sf.hw=1[/B] to your build.prop file.

[editline]28th December 2011[/editline]

Now if I could just make the home button delay go away without flashing a different rom, I would be pretty happy.

[redBadger]

So I got my SNES emulator working, but I'm looking for a game that I forgot name of. It's an old spacey sci-fi side scrolling shooter that was the shit. I remember that it started off with a little cutscene in space and it was all distorted and everything. I think something was talking to you, but I forget.

Anyone know what it is? Probably not, but its worth asking.

[iCole]

FUCK I tried installing this [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362354[/url]
and now my phone is stuck on the Galaxy S2 logo and won't boot.

I left the backup of the files on the internal SD card. What can I do without reflashing/losing data to make it work? :(

This is kinda urgent and yes I am an idiot.

[B]EDIT:[/B] Fixed it!
- Booted to CWM
- Mounted USB Storage
- Retrieved backup files
- Used a CWM flashable zip of the rotation files to input original files in the phone
- Flashed zip
- It boots without an issue

I feel like such a [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/winner.png[/IMG] right now.

thank the devs for usb storage in cwm
