Rooted Galaxy s2 options
im running 2.3.4 on standard rom updated on kies and it says it is current version. im not sure when the 2.3.5 update will be out for me.
i keep thinking about changing the rom.
have seen this guide from a link on this forum and i think one person from here has done it and used villainrom

anyone recomend anything else at all, im not the best at computers really, and dont wanna brick my phone.
thanks

now its rooted
backed up with the clockwork mod
im going to get the titanium app to back up apps etc
then get a new rom
one thing though, i still have the orange triangle on the start up,
if i flash the original kernel, the triangle goes and start up looks standard but i also lose the clockwork backup mod. i reinstall clockwork, the the triangle is back... hmmm

Worth buying a USB Jig off ebay to get rid of the triangle plus it also resets the counter that lets Samsung know you've flashed the rom. Only costs around £1.25 - and I bought it from this seller - came within the week.

Also handy in case you brick the phone.

cool, i have just ordered one, i think i read on xda that it doesnt work anymore to reset the counter though, but could be wrong.
as of now (rooted, standard rom) and later on (custom rom) will i need to use kies again? or would it mess things op?
any roms that you would recomend?

I'm using VillianRom 3.0 - very happy with it and not bothered with any others.
Just started using Dialer One - https://market.android.com/details?i...ialerOne&hl=en - which I prefer to the standard dialer.
I've not used Kies yet - flashed it all with Odin instead.
