hi guys, question again about CWM and modem/kernel flashing.

is it a must to do data cache wipe, and also dalvik wipe before flashing new kernel/modem? i know its a must for ROMs.

modem, i'm tinking its not necessary. but kernel i'm really not sure as i wana upgrade the current kernel that i have.

Not a must, but depending on the kernel u might have possible side effects. I've encountered it several times on Siyah.

Don't lazy....only slightly longer bootup only.

so i guess its better to do data cache wipe and dalvik wipe before doing the flashing. thanks!

KI4 doesnt seem to work very well :/

KG5 works the best for me.

USB Host/OTG Cable

Hi guys.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the Usb Host/OTG cable here? Challenger? Sim Lim? If so, how much is it? Tried to DIY myself just now but mine isn't reading anything plugged in..

Thanks in advance.

aka anyhow whack....much better to actually see something before making unsubstantiated comments.

HC very bad meh? Samsung still selling the most Android tablets.

Central -
East -
West -
North -

Ruffruff, your using KL1 modem, which area are you at most of the time?

imho HC is not optimized. hopefully ICS is better.

imho HC is not optimized. hopefully ICS is better.

So far anecdotal evidence have shown it to be pretty decent....so chances are good. Given Google have already stated HC to be a stopgap, not a surprise it isn't as polished as it should be.

Besides, what tablet have you used HC on?

S2 takes pretty long to charge thru usb. recommend where to get a cheap extra batt n charger for it?
