Does Titanium Backup successfully backup stuff like WhatsApp message history too?

Well it backups the app and the data included with it, so i assume so.

Goggles is pretty awesome, but the mirrored camera movement is really annoying to me.

First time flashing a ROM (well, just an update of samsung stock firmware to 2.3.6) through ODIN. Wish me luck :v:

only used ODIN once, when flashing the insecure kernel so I can root

[iCole]

Is there anything bad about ODIN?

I'm on 2.3.6 now, restored apps, now to play around with it!

[punkrjp]

Thinking of getting a Galaxy Nexus, but can't decide whether to wait for the SGSIII instead. (I currrently have a SGSII)

Nothing bad about it, just a lot of people don't know how to use it, and it will up the Custom Firmware counter iirc.

There are a lot of useless apps on my phone that I would love to remove for more space (Until I can get a better SD card at least) Or to make it less cluttered.

Theres a bunch of annoying Virgin Mobile LIVE/Music/ect apps on here that I will NEVER use. How can I get rid of these? I went to Uninstall Apps but the option wasn't click-able

I follow tutorials and haven't had a problem so far. Seems to work fine if I don't go around touching things I'm not supposed to.

BUT - I re-flashed speedmod kernel, which is supposed to have CWM included, but it doesn't show up in my app drawer (stock TW). What gives?

Root and freeze/uninstall them using something like titanium backup or easy freezy.

[TehWhale]

Uninstall them via Titanium Backup

What, does it say CWM app or just CWM included. Also get SiyahKernel on there :P

I need to add more to the OP. 1st thing is a glossary of common Android terms etc.
If you want to post something and a description I'm sure I can include it in the OP if I see fit.

"Current features:

Root and CWM:
- Automatically installs root (su)
- CWM recovery"
But I always had CWM both in recovery and the app in the OS itself.. wait, is it possbile that CF-Root installed that app before? Because CF-Root was my first rooted kernel, then I switched to speedmod.

And I'm thinking about siyah, but still not sure if i should switch or not just yet.

Is it normal for my Galaxy S II to go from 80% Battery to 26% overnight?

[hypershadsy]

Rooting my new Bionic would obviously hurt my relationship with Verizon.

Do they stop doing customer support? Will this matter?
Do they lock up my device or what?
