Check the volts and amp output is the same, I used a lower amp charger and it works fine. All balckberry chargers work fine.
I used to charge my S2 with a bb bold / curve charge..

Stop if your phone is getting hot!

With Siyah kernel, you can set the charging of the battery. Mine is set to All: 650 mA
The kernel prevents charging at more than 650mA. So any means of charging will be limited to that.
If memory serves me correct, Dorimanx set it to 700mA. This was questioned by guys on the Siyah thread on XDA and GM said that the S2 can not be charged at more than 650mA

I used my Nokia charger throughout all my flashes until I used Fluxi Kernel which started heating up on charge, a switch to Siyah sorted it out.

I have only ever had this with a certain MIUI ROM. I use a variety of different chargers and cables, and it only got hot with that specific ROM. Have you flashed your S2 recently?

Thanks for this - I have learned something new. Off to ExTweaks...

650 for all is risky. USB should be set to 450.

Yeah, but I only use USB charging on office ps/laptops, so I don't care if the USB ports fries ...
Some ports (newer) can handle it fine though
But I actually agree with you - It is better to keep USB to 450mA
 
USB,misc:450 - AC 650 is what I currently have it set to. I took a look at it and thought, "Nah, not gonna change it.". Then I came back and saw the thread updates. :)
 
4.04

I have seen many posts warning against 4.0.4 LQ5 firmware update, but no one recommends anything else.

Which version works best and won't brick my phone? Im on Cell C btw.

Im currently on 4.0.3
GT-I9100
Base: I9100XXLPS
Kernel: I9100XWLP7

Thanks in advance.

Well, JellyBean will be out soon, so not sure if it's worth all the trouble to go from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4?

If you want to see what JellyBean is like, you can download Nova Launcher and you're pretty much there.

Nova Launcher even has the whole JellyBean icon set. ;)
 
Ok, so after having some sleep apnea last night, I decided to rather wait for JB than going to 4.0.4. Then some genius posted about RR 3.0.5(ty merc...) and that got me thinking...

Since RR was mostly working I wanted it, but scared of issues I also decided to dual boot.
So as of 2:30am this morning I am on ICS 4.0.3 and RR3.0.5 on my secondary, and surprisingly I think the ROM is capable of a daily driver... Wifi, bt, 3g, in fact I haven't found anything that doesn't work. Its also smoother than my ICS 4.0.3 and voice recognition is MUCH MUCH MUCH better and can be used offline.

The dual boot setup was damn simple as well. I just flashed the latest Siyah kernel(don't do this if you running GB, only in ICS or JB), restarted into CWM app (pre-installed on the kernel), copied the RR3.0.5 zip onto mt phone and selected "flash to secondary" and voila, I have dual boot ICS and JB!!!!!!!

I suspect most of you know this but root/kernel flash/dual boot was new to me, I have only done a KIES update before... not bad for one night.

Have any one tried both SuperNexus and RR3.0.5?

I actually DL'd SuperNexus before I saw RR, I decided to go with RR because I saw people still had problems with wifi connection and bt battery drain on supernexus, so I took the RR plunge. Not disappointed so far. But I will try SN out if im bored with RR, flashing was so damn easy

So bloody annoyed. Tried RR3.05 just now, and had the same problem I mentioned a few pages back with the last few CM9 builds and CM10 - losing all my APNs (and no, they can't be added back - they don't save. And they don't come back with a reboot.) So I'm stuck with older CM9 builds, or stock. For a flash addict, this is bad - I might be forced to get a new phone...
