Samsung Galaxy S2

[Westsider]

Only downfall of the S and SII is TouchWiz but that's easily fixed by rooting and installing vanilla android gingerbread or hopefully soon ICS.

[Wedgie]

Downfalls for me are the placement of the full stop key on the keyboard and no Plants v Zombies. Mind you, I think after 4 months I've finally got used to the full stop where it is, my thumb now naturally moves that little bit furthwr to the left fir the space bar!
Speech to text is as useless as tits on a boar pig but great for a laugh.
"Hello phone, how are you today?"

S2: " Yellow bone, who far poo bidet?"

[Q.]

My current phone has carked it, don't think I can hang out for the Nexus. Are 12 months contracts readily available?

Might want to explain further for the non-technically minded audience ...

I 'rooted' and 'installed vanilla' last night, but it had nothing to do with a phone...

So....

In English, tell me how I 'root' my phone and install something that may give me some glimmer of hope that this stinking heap of shizen works (Galaxy S1).

Got mine, updated it to Gingerbread 2.3.5 and got rid of some Optus bloatware. The battery life is pretty epic now

[Scouser]

How do you update to 2.3.5? Can it be done on Virgin?

My battery was draining quick, but has been a lot better recently.

CheckMod Rom the one to go with Westsider?

Flashed it via Odin.

Gingerbread? Virgins? Odin?

What kind of twisted fairytale is this?

Gingerbread? Virgins? Odin?

What kind of twisted fairytale is this?

Gingerbread is a code name for a version of Android

Virgin is a carrier

Odin is software to flash ROM's to your phone

[Q.]

Anyone use an anti-virus on their Android?

[smac]

Yeah, work have put AVG on ours. Doesn't cause any slowing down that I can see.

[Westsider]

Waste of time.
