I am just lazy to re-install and re-customise with each install of custom ROM. Since the ROM has been out for quite some times, I guess it is stable enough for day to day use.

With your inputs, I have second thought now: if there is hardware issue within the first week or so, it is easier to send it back to service with the original ROM. Not sure if Samsung will service a phone with custom ROM...

It's not the Rom I'm worried about, it's the hardware. Reason being is u can't test the phone 100% at the point of buying, the most u can plug in yr sim, make some test calls, look at the screen and the exterior and that's it. Then it's when u really use yr phone then u might find faults cropping up so having a custom rom means u should flash back to stock first before sending it in. I don't know if they will take in custom roms without voiding your warranty, some say they've done it before, but it's whether u want to take the risk of voiding the warranty on a brand new phone.

Should be around $448? Since the SRP is $50 less than Note? Then the cheapest 3g plan is $498 for Note.

Downloading the following first, in preparation to root and flash custom ROM this Saturday!!!
- GNex TOOLKIT V5.2
- Clockwork Recovery Touch Enabled 5.8.0.2
- Android Open Kang Project - maguro - Milestone 3
- franco.Kernel 4.0.3 8-FEB - #16.1
- Radio XXKL1

You dont need Clockwork Recovery Touch Enabled 5.8.0.2 as GNex Toolkit 5.1 onwards already comes with the touch and non-touch of CWM

Milestone 3 isnt a nightly build..Nightly build will be labelled as Build XX(Currently at Build 22)..Even Roman(Developer) mention that Build is likely to have more bug than milestone although i have yet to encounter any on Build 21..

And in order to flash AOKP Roms, u need to flash in GApps as well..

Which means for ur case it,s

- GNex Tool kit(For rooting and CWM)
- AOKP(Milestone 3 or Build 22)
- GApps(Download the one that is on the Build or Milestone download page)
- Franco Kernel(Reco u to purchase Franco Kernel Updater app from Marketplace for easier updating next time)
- XXKL1 Baseband

bro, AOKP or ARHD better? also any step by step guide for the above listed?

To me after using both, AOKP + Franco Kernel + XXKL1(Baseband) = best..

ARHD sometimes will restart when i was using it on 2.1.5 especially after going thru a few apps in a short period of time..

a. any issues on the side power button ? like Nexus one, the power button fail after a while
b. heating issue ? understand the Samsung S2 during usage is damn hot.

Ermmm,

1) Using it for a month, still gd..I believe issue has something to do with the dust accumulated on the sensor rendering it insensitive
2) Damn hot?? I would say warm..Same goes for all the smartphone i use before like 3GS, HTC Trophy when i surf the web for a prolong period of time.

At 948, is the local set really worth 200 more just for the warranty? LOL.

 

[3volved]

You can choose to pay 850 or 948 for same local set.....
