Holysmoke Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Actually disappointed.. other than the screen.. Galaxy S2 is at par, if not better hardware wise.
Sachinism Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Big let down. Expected some beastly hardware. ICS is looking awesome at the moment.
Sachinism Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I think it may be time to root Too many features being missed out currently
varun Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I think it may be time to root Too many features being missed out currently You're not rooted ? :headshake: Head over to XDA forums pronto for a world of goodness.
Sachinism Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I keep getting scared I'll brick my phone :nervous: Also need to back up all my apps, etc. Talking about that. Anyone know a good app which will automatically back up pics (for free of course)

Try titatanium backup from blapmarket Sent from my GT-S5570 using Tapatalk Rooting will keep my phone in tact i.e. the way everything is setup (homescreens), apps, pics, contacts? Watched the event video Actually loving the device now. So happy they added the 'save for offline reading' feature to the browser

Rajiv Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I have come out of the most fked up situations while trying to rom it, so its very rare to completely brick it and titanium backup with put in intact. I have started actually buying some important apps too I like this phone, and ICS looks very good - this whole thing is moving so fast, already heard S III will come out
Sachinism Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I've looked at rooting before and come to sites with details on h-boot, radio off and all other nonsense, which made no sense. Are one-click rooting apps good?

I have started actually buying some important apps too I like this phone, and ICS looks very good - this whole thing is moving so fast, already heard S III will come out I heard SGII are pretty good with stock roms unlike the HTC mobile with must have custom roms for good performance. It's good to use Nandroid image backup before flashing any new roms http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-perform-and-restore-a-nandroid-backup/ I wonder how they are going to flash custom rom in SG Nexus without a SD card slot. I've looked at rooting before and come to sites with details on h-boot, radio off and all other nonsense, which made no sense. Are one-click rooting apps good? My phone was one click rooting by flashing a zip file in recovery mode. I have no idea what method your phones follows, must check at xda site or samfirmware.

Sachinism Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Cheers I'll have a look at it properly when I'm home
Rajiv Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Word of this being ported to Captivate as well, can't wait for MIUI/CM7 to release it
Sachinism Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I have build 2.50.405.2 Am I right to believe, its a pain to root this as opposed to the older builds?
