Ya I picked this up awhile back it's definitely years ahead of the s2. But I still mess around with the s2 it was and still is a good phone. It might not have the newest android and be the fastest but it's still capable of alot.

So what does the future hold? I'm planning on retiring mine next month. Right now I'm on the fence of oneplus one and nexus.
Did you go with the one plus one? I think I am ordering one today. Love this s2 but the battery life is killing me time to retire it. Thank you for making it useful. Wonder what I can get for it its like new still always in a case and a screen protector.

Not sure I want to get rid of it right away but when I do will post here first. Comes with 3 batteries wall battery charger and the regular charger rubber case screen protectors there is still a couple new ones around here somewhere. Currently has slimkat latest on it latest beta slim gapps modified pit file so it can hold the full gapps. No random reboots or anything only problem with phone is battery life with GPS on it sucks the battery even if its plugged in it can't keep up
This phone is actually only been used for 6 months its like my 3rd replacement from straight talk

Sorry I must have missed this.

Yes I bought a 1+1. I love it. Plus you can't beat the price. I think it was $363.43 shipped.

Yeah my s2 still hasn't been touched. I put a screen protector on as soon as I took the factory one off, and put it straight into a case where it has stayed ever since. I done the same with the 1+1. The 1+1 I bought a shatter proof glass screen protector, and can tell you they are worth the extra money.

My phone was killed by a truck. The bad part is I was driving!:crying:
I loved this phone so much I got a skyrocket to replace it (faster cpu + 4G LTE) feels like the same phone.

Thanks to everyone who poured your help and info. into this tread. I learned so much just by reading your post.
The biggest THANKS must go to mr-cook! Your work on ROMs, files and info. is of the highest quailty and is greatly appreciated!
I wish I know how to port one of your ROMs to my skyrocket and probably will learn how so I can.

Best wishes to you all!

Hey guys I was seeing if the ace had ever been cracked yet and just wanted to stop in and wish everyone a happy new year. I miss the support you all gave on the 959 and wish you guys would get an ace and crack it for us :)

I couldn't find anything for a custom recovery but you can definitely root it. Good news is it looks like they're working on getting a recovery built for it. Read the three pages of this thread
