rooting tip:

since basically rooting will or might void warranty right,so ill share what i did to a friends phone...

basically just created a nandroid back up of his current rom using skins recovery..
then installed a new custom rom(rooted rom)

voila...2 bird 1 stone,,,custom rom and root at the same time...

and in case you want the old one back just restore to back up..

not sure if this method counts the bin....

here is for the list of updating to official and unofficial stock roms

HOW TO FLASH KERNEL GUIDE THE EASIEST WAY

Requierements:

boot img file (2 the kernel your flashing and termagrancis kernel)
mai77 flasher thingy
and cwm of mads or skins...


procedure:

download the kernel respectively,both kernels are on tar file do you need to extract them using any extarctor (for me i used androzip form market)or tyu can use es file manager...

extract them on sdcard one file at a time and rename them
example kernel 1
after extrract rename boot.img to boot.imgx
do the same thing on the other kernel,but rename differently...

now,,,decide which kernel to flash..
example
i renamed
boot.imgx(marcos kernel)
boot.imgz(terma kernel)

i will flash

terma kernel
rename or remove the other letter

the kernel you wnat to flash should have the boot.img name,.
now go to recovery..
install via zip
choose sd card update
choose SGYbiCWM.zip


and apply reboot,,,
youre done,.,,!

check under settings kernel...


this was the method ive opersonally used

BATTERY CALIBRATION!

AUTION: DO THIS PROCEDURE ONLY ONCE OR TWICE, FULLY DRAINED BATTERY CAN CAUSE CRYSTALLIZATION WHICH SHORTENS BATTERY LIFE.

HAVE CWM INSTALLED INCASE YOUR STOCK RECOVERY HAS NO ADVANCED OPTION.

1. Fully drain your battery, play some games, music, etc.. NO PORN!!
2. Let your battery cool for atleast 2 minutes
3. Restart phone to remove residual charge( it will boot only halfway)
4. After the phone shuts down remove battery and let it cool for atleast 2 minutes.
5. Re insert battery and charge your phone in OFF mode.
6. After the phone reaches 100% charge boot into recovery (Power+Home+Volume_up button)
7. Go to advance (I think some android has this in recovery, if not go to CWM and you will find it there).
8. Wipe battery stats.
9. Press Power/Back and Reboot your phone
10. Wait till the phone reaches 100% charge and disconnect charger
11. Have a happy life.

Before my phone has a battery life of less than a day (about 20 hours) with battery saver, task killer and minimal settings. After calibration my phone without task killer and battery saver installed lasts short of 3 days with moderate settings. I use only a Ram cleaner and V6 fast engine flush now. "Cleaner" apps are good, "Killer" are not..

THIS IS A BATTERY CALIBRATION PROCEDURE NOT A BATTERY LIFE EXTENDER(THERE IS NO SUCH THING), JUST SAYING SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION.
