    Post [ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10 Nightly Builds for SGH-I747

    When I install this and CM9 gapps, there is no native camera app. Is his normal? I can download one but I thought one was suppose to come with the ROM.

    Post [ROM][PORT] CM9 for I777 [3-23-2012 Update] - No Screen on/off

    I just installed this rom, but the device drivers were not working, so my computer could not access the phone's hard drive. I uninstalled the drivers and re-installed them and am having the same problem. What might the issue be? Do I need to install the drivers for the international gs2?

    Post [ROM][PORT] CM9 for I777 [3-23-2012 Update] - No Screen on/off

    Is this usable on a daily basis or is it still too alphaish to use?

    Post Skyrocket Envy?

    The number of pixels is the same, though the SR's screen is bigger so the resolution is worse. It is not nearly as hackable, because the only similar device is T-Mobile's GS2. The international GS2 is similar to AT&T's GS2 so there will always be much more hacking going on with it than the SR.

    Post Skyrocket gets 2.3.6, why GS2 still on 2.3.4?

    You can have 2.3.7 right now, and probably 4.0 within a couple weeks, if you root and get Cyanogenmod.

    Post Skyrocket Envy?

    the GS2 is as fast as the skyrocket, despite having a lower clock speed. The reason is the superior GS2 processor. Also, the GPU on the GS2 is superior, so despite similar speed, graphics are much better (and not choppy) on the GS2 than the skyrocket. The skyrocket will never be as hackable as...

    Post My Galaxy S II Skyrocket Review

    I used it briefly two different days, and did notice the lag every time. After going through the comments here, many others seem to have noticed it as well. The GPU is certainly inferior and there certainly is a lag, whether one notices it always or not. I use to have a captivate and the hspa+...

    Post [Q] Use Captivate Jig on GS2?

    I emailed some people and it looks like there have been some changes. I have also seen many people post that they tried a Captivate jig on a GS2 and it often doesn't work. It looks like, if your jig is more than a couple months old, you should get a new one.

    Maybe apple should threaten them with a bogus patent lawsuit?

    Post Gs2 or skyrocket?

    I was set on getting a skyrocket a week ago. I now have a GS2. I researched the differences, which at first looked like the skyrocket had the better case. Researching it, I realized that the GS2 has the far better case, even if you don't want to root and flash roms (though if you do, with SR you...

    Post Got an ATTGS2!!!

    I had my captivate for almost a year, upgraded to the GS2 (too many minuses with skyrocket) two days ago and now have CM7 and stable overclocked to 1.6ghz.

    Post Buy now or wait

    With android, you can't wait until the a 'newer' phone comes out because they come out every month. Might as well start the clock ticking now towards when you can upgrade 15 months from now. I was going to get the skyrocket, but researched the differences and went with the regular GS2. The LTE...

    Post My Galaxy S II Skyrocket Review

    I was going to get a skyrocket until I researched the differences between it and i777. The LTE is only so much of a positive, especially since you should use wifi whenever you can. Some guy on another thread used 6gb over LTE in a week, which is enough to get you throttled. Someone commented...

    Thread [Q] Use Captivate Jig on GS2?

    I just replaced my Captivate with an AT&T Galaxy S 2. I had a jig that I bought from mobiletechvideos.com for the captivate. Will that jig work on my Galaxy S 2? Also, will it work on Sprint's Galaxy S 2 Epic Touch 4g? Or are there design differences between the jigs so some won't work on all...
