The best option for these users is to first root the device and then experience the vast possibilities that become available afterwards. One of the annoyances with Samsung Galaxy SII (S2) after you flash a custom kernel or firmware (i.e., for rooting purposes) is that it increases the custom flash counter and a dreaded large warning triangle appears on the screen during the booting process. This custom flash counter is believed to be used for the warranty purposes and not effects the device functionality in any way. But still some users might feel it annoying and would like to remove it. One of the safest ways to remove is through using a USB Jig that can be ordered online. Another way that don’t require a USB Jig to remove the yellow waning triangle was reported here in the past that involved first flashing a stock kernel through Odin and then flashing the ZImage of the CF-Root through the CWM recovery menu. Although this method worked perfectly fine but it is a multi-step process and involves finding the correct stock kernel for your device’s specific firmware. Today, we are are going to cover the quickest and simplest method to remove the yellow warning triangle on your Samsung Galaxy SII (S2) and that is WITHOUT using any USB Jig!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This method that we are going to report is based on a tool developed by the well-known XDA developer Chainfire. Please keep in mind that this tool must be used ONLY on Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with some ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Android 4.0 build installed. Also this operation is potentially dangerous and can brick your device! Please also verify that information shown under the “Current Status” is correct in the app before resetting the counter. Despite all the warning I should mention that I have personally tried this tool on my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with a custom ICS build installed and it worked perfectly!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then launch the application and from within the application reset the custom flash counter. This will also eliminate the yellow warning triangle during boot on your Samsung Galaxy S2 (SII). Note that warning triangle will return in the future if you use the Odin to flash the firmware or kernel. It shouldn’t appear when flashing the firmware’s from the CWM. Also using the Mobile Odin will not increase the flash counter and hence no yellow warning triangle during the boot screen!</span><br />

( A Comparison With iOS)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">Why Choose Android Rather Than iOS</span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It will come as no surprise to you that we think Android is better than iOS. If you’re looking for the why, then you’ll find it right here. The most popular mobile platform in the world right now deserves its place. It’s been a good year for Android, but with a bunch of competitors waiting in the wings there’s no time to rest on laurels.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apple’s platform is undeniably slick and it does the job for many people, but it can’t match up to Android. Even though Apple adopted Android’s superior notification system for iOS and tried to match its wireless syncing convenience, there is still a clear gap between the two. Here are ten reasons why Android is still better than iOS.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT3ku-yw1H6Nk4o42h92TM9NftslI8obKPGomUelONvqM6ZzMzOgFS_KB00Wfh2FOfOPB06_60SeGlE5aghMdbeLDPfS3n9HG1zKQIHP7gtiJV7P7U74ZGZJZVHKvqgPka-6g28-0JSO9u/s1600/64_S_ios+vs+android.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT3ku-yw1H6Nk4o42h92TM9NftslI8obKPGomUelONvqM6ZzMzOgFS_KB00Wfh2FOfOPB06_60SeGlE5aghMdbeLDPfS3n9HG1zKQIHP7gtiJV7P7U74ZGZJZVHKvqgPka-6g28-0JSO9u/s640/64_S_ios+vs+android.png" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Multiple devices</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is something for everyone on the Android platform. The sheer variety of Android smartphones from manufacturers like Samsung, HTC, Sony, Motorola, LG, Huawei, ZTE, and others is staggering. You can get a compact phone, something with a physical keyboard, a huge touchscreen, or go really quirky with a dual screen device. Niche demands like dual SIM are catered for and the flagship devices are on the cutting edge when it comes to specs. You’ll find the same level of variety is starting to boost the Android tablet market as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Attracting a huge range of manufacturers and giving them license to run amok in terms of imagination has resulted in the widest variety of devices on any platform, even blurring the line between smartphone and tablet. Compared to the limited iPhone and iPad line up, Android represents choice on a grand scale.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Multiple price points</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This naturally follows on from the first point on our list. A wide variety of devices with different designs and specs caters for any budget. The exclusive nature of Apple’s products is in stark contrast to the inclusive nature of Android. Almost anyone can afford an Android phone. It might not be all-singing and dancing, but there are solid budget options that give people a true smartphone experience. The iPhone and iPad are prohibitively expensive for many, but a budget Android device doesn’t need to cost much more than an old feature phone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Affordability has been a key driver for Android dominance worldwide and it continues to be. If you want premium devices that match and surpass the iPhone or iPad then you can find them, but if you want a budget device then Android is your only choice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Customization</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the strong points of Android has always been the level of customization it allows. While Apple wants to keep control of default apps and maintain a homogenous software and hardware experience, Android lets you pick your own level of customization. This extends all the way from simple things like animated wallpaper, to alternative keyboards, to custom ROM installs. Detractors will always say only hardcore geeks care about this level of customization, but at the shallow end of the pool this isn’t true. Many iOS users would love to have live updates on the home screen or access to Swiftkey. We’ve broken customization down into four key benefits Android has over iOS.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Live wallpapers</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Animated backgrounds that can also be interactive enrich the smartphone experience. They come in a huge range of styles, they allow people to add a little personality to their device, and, above all, they are fun. If you’ve never dipped your toe in the live wallpaper scene you’ll be surprised at just how many great live wallpapers are out there. They can also deliver useful information like the latest weather or encompass fun and addictive games.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Widgets</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Android’s widgets have long been a feather in its cap compared to the static rows of icons you find in iOS. Even Microsoft saw the advantage, developing the Live Tiles system for Windows Phone. Widgets are still a major advantage for Android over iOS. Simply put, you can see all of the information you want at a glance on your home screen without having to fire up an app.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Custom launchers</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you want control over how your Android smartphone or tablet looks then you’ve probably tried out a custom launcher. You can choose from a wide variety of custom launcher apps in Google Play and tweak everything from your home screen layout, to your page transitions, to effects and even gestures. There’s no risk involved with launcher apps and you can really open up a world of possibilities.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Custom ROMs</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can actually replace the stock ROM that came with your device with a custom ROM if you want to. This is essentially installing a new operating system and many Android users do it because their carrier or manufacturer is slow to upgrade to the latest version of the Android platform, but you may also do it for better performance or to gain access to some add-ons or tools. This is definitely the extreme end of Android customization and you need to exercise a little caution to ensure that you don’t run into trouble. That said, as long as you can follow a tutorial and your device is supported, the benefits can be enormous.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Integration With Google Services And Products</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A while back we discussed why Google and Android will prevail over Apple and iOS and this was one of the main reasons. Android devices integrate seamlessly with Google’s array of services. People are increasingly using their mobile devices to go online and Google is king of the web. Google Docs, Gmail, Google Drive, Google Maps, Google Music, Google+, Google Chrome…the list goes on, and Apple and iOS are not keeping up. The Apple Maps app debacle is a good example of iOS falling short. Despite the obvious animosity it’s tough to imagine iOS without Google apps, but even if they remain present as options beyond the defaults there’s no escaping the fact that the best Google experience is to be found on Android.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Google Now</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This stands out from the crowd of Google services and, while the excellent voice search (which outperforms Siri) has been rolled into the Google iOS app, there are elements of Google Now that you can only enjoy on Android. When we look to our technology to push things forward and offer real convenience boosts to daily life, the predictive and pre-emptive nature of Google Now as it seeks to fulfill your desires before you think to search, could be truly revolutionary. It makes better use of mobile technology than anything else currently out there and as it improves it could well prove to be an important USP for Android.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It may be a double-edged sword, but you can’t escape the fact that there are more free apps and games on Android than there are on iOS. Sometimes ports of the same apps that carried a price tag on iOS are free on Android. There also seems to be a greater willingness to pursue the freemium or ad-supported model. Sadly, this may be, at least partly, down to piracy concerns and, while more hits are being ported across, the ability to earn more from iOS development still means more high quality, premium apps and games release on iOS first. As Android continues to dominate we should see a change here, but it remains one of Android’s biggest challenges.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bugs, lag, an ugly interface, a lack of apps – Android’s weaknesses have been systematically dealt with by a determined development team. The Android platform is unrecognizable compared with the first release and it continues to improve and evolve at a faster pace than the competition. That big user base and the wide range of manufacturers producing Android devices can only drive further improvements to greater heights. While iOS stagnates, paralyzed by the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” school of thinking, Android continues to innovate and improve at a faster rate.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Big Battery Eaters</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The high-end smartphones, like Samsung Galaxy S II I9100, have a lot of features that eat a lot of battery. Functions like Camera, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and Sync are the biggest battery eaters of Samsung Galaxy S II I9100, but fortunately there are some simple ways of stopping them drain your battery fast. As you’d probably expect turning them off is the best option if you want to increase your Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 battery life.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We recommend you to choose the GSM only option for your Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 and activate the 3G only when you are using it. Also don’t choose the automatic network mode, as the battery will drain even faster, mostly because your device will constantly search for 3G network availability. To switch your Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 to GSM only you will have to go to Home > Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Network Mode and choose the GSM only option by tapping on it.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also turn off the WiFi when you are not using it, as its a major battery eater, too. Go to Home > Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Wi-Fi settings and uncheck the “Wi-Fi” option to disable it. Do the same with the GPS, as your Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 will constantly try to lock up your location if enabled, reducing your battery life. Disable GPS by going to Home > Applications > Settings > Location and security and tap on the “Use GPS satelites” option to uncheck it.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also try not to use the Camera too much, as it drains the battery pretty quick. Also remember to always close the camera application after you use it. We also recommend you not to use the Camera when your Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 is low on battery, because it will soon eat the rest of it.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Display Brightness</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25.90625px; text-align: left;">The brightness of your display is another factor that drains your battery. Even though Samsung said that they optimized their Super AMOLED Plus for Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 and now it is 18% more battery efficient, the display installed on your device drains about 40% of the overall battery life. As you probably know, the brighter the screen the more battery is drained, so keeping your screen brightness to a minimum should significantly extend your Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 battery life. The “Automatic brightness adjustment” setting is not the best for your Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 battery life, as your device will have to constantly set the screen brightness lower or higher depending on light conditions. Choose the screen brightness manually and try setting it as low as possible. To do so go to </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25.90625px; text-align: left;">Home > Applications > Settings > Sound and Display > Brightness</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25.90625px; text-align: left;"> and choose the brightness level you desire. Also make sure that you uncheck the Automatic brightness adjustment option.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 25.90625px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Android Power Widget</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.90625px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666;">Fortunately Android OS offers some ways to increase the battery life of your smartphone. And becaus Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 is running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, you will be able to use Android widgets to control the major battery eaters. One such widget is the Power Control widget, which will help you manage functions like WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sync and Brightness. The Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Power Control Widget is easy to use and will help you enable or disable the big battery eaters with a simple tap. To install Power Control Widget, long press a clear area on any of your homescreens. The “Add to Home screen” window should appear on your Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 display. Now go to Android Widgets and locate the one called Power Control. Tap on it and place it on any of your homescreens.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 25.90625px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">Say No To Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Live Wallpapers</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.90625px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666;">I know that you like your Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 looking cool and the live wallpapers help a lot. But the live wallpapers also drain your battery faster. So, if you want to improve Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 battery life all you have to do is set a picture that is not animated as wallpaper. But lighter wallpapers also eat more battery, because your Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 will have to light up more pixels in the bright areas of the pictures, which will automatically drain your battery faster, so the darker the wallpaper the better the battery life of your device.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 25.90625px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Do Not Use Third Party Task Killers</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.90625px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666;">As you probably know Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 comes with multitasking, and sometimes the users keep lots of applications running in background. Fortunately, Android comes with a built-in task killer which will help you close all the apps running in background. The latter Android firmwares were optimized to automatically kill the unused apps in multitasking that drain your battery and fill your RAM. On the other hand the third party task killer apps are constantly checking the applications running in multitasking, a process that makes your battery drain faster.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The update listed here isn’t an official one and it won’t work with the Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G, as the only device supported is the I9100 model. Samsung didn’t announce any official release date for the update so the only thing that you can do is to use the instructions listed here and update your phone with XXLPH Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich firmware files. Note that this update doesn’t require you to root the Galaxy S II device.

<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After download mode has been activated, you need to connect your Galaxy S2 to your PC via USB cable. Odin should still run on your PC.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soon after connecting the phone, the ID:COM section in Odin should display a yellow background and this means that the drivers were installed and you are ready to move to the next step. Please note that if your device doesn’t enter download mode, then you will be forced to repeat all the steps above and eventually it should launch.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, in Odin (use the PC) you need to click on the ‘PIT’ section and select the following file: u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit. Move to the next step.</span></li>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This trick helps you keep your phone, Google+ contacts and all the other profiles synced with your Gmail Account, the one you’re using the Google Play Store and with all the other Google services. This feature is great and you can easily perform all the changes and syncing in several steps.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Syncing contacts with Gmail account comes in handy when you want to root/ update the firmware of your phone. As you know, while rooting or updating firmware you’re risking to damage data files, SMS text messages and contacts that could get corrupted or lost. That’s the reason I’ve created this article, to help you sync the stored Contacts in your Android phone with your Gmail account successfully.</span></div>
<div class="block-middle" style="background-color: white; float: left; line-height: 20.15625px; padding: 10px 5px 0px 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before moving to the tutorial guide you need to make sure that your Contacts are linked with the Gmail Account.</span></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.15625px;">

<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Press the Menu/ Settings button.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Select ‘Merge with Google’ and then confirm the action. In case you have more than one Gmail accounts then select the one you wish to use as default to host your contacts.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When everything has been successfully merged, a pop-up message will notify you.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here’s how to sync your contacts with the Gmail account:</span></div>
<ol style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.15625px;">
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make sure that you have Gmail installed on your device.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Open the App Drawer and go to Settings, then go to ‘Accounts and Sync’.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enable the Accounts and syncing service.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Select your Gmail account from the e-mail accounts setup .</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make sure that you’ve enabled ‘Sync Contacts’ option.</span></li>

<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now open Gmail in your computer’s web browser and click the Gmail text link that is listed on the upper left side of the Gmail profile.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Select Contacts and then you should see a page where all the contacts from your Android smartphone have been stored.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That should do it. If you have any other extra questions then please feel free to ask me in comments.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After you’ve backed up/ synced contacts from your Android phone and then you’ve also changed the ROM or, you’ve rooted the phone and selected factory reset, then you will need to sync again the Gmail account with your phone and, all the phone numbers will be restored. Otherwise all the contacts will be removed from your phone.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>Backup and Restore your Android device Using ClockWorkMod Recovery</b></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each time you decide to perform operations on your Android powered device the data saved on its storage memory or even on its SD card might be wiped out. Furthermore, if you want to do things more complicated like flashing a custom ROM, install unofficial updates, or beta firmware, you can wreck (brick) the phone’s system. But, there is a way in which you can avoid all these unfortunate aspects. You can make a full backup before starting the main process; and I’m not referring to any backup as you should save your current ROM first.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is exactly what we will be checking during the present step by step guide: how to backup and restore your Android device before installing custom ROMs, or applying unofficial updates. And the perfect way to do it is by using the ClockWorkMod Recovery custom recovery image. With this you can backup the current ROM that is running on your phone, so in case if something goes wrong while trying to flash a new ROM into the system you will be able to revert and use the old software. This is the perfect method to use for avoiding bricking your smartphone.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you know, the warranty is void each time you want to complete one of the up mentioned operations, so backing up the software is no longer an option for you. Anyway, you need to get ClockWorkMod Recovery first. If you don’t know CWM is a custom recovery designed to work on the Android platform and offer different capabilities to the users like: making backups, test custom ROMs, perform maintenance operations and so on.</span></div>
<div class="block-middle" style="background-color: white; float: left; line-height: 20.15625px; padding: 10px 5px 0px 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now let’s head to the proper guide. Make sure you read all the lines for understanding the concept and for completing a full and safe backup of your ROM. Also you will learn how to install and use CWM, so don’t skip sections of the tutorial.</span></div>

<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, you should root your device as you cannot install ClockWorkMod Recovery on an un-rooted handset. Check our previous posts as you can find a how to root guide suitable for your device.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then you should know that not all the smartphones are being able to support the tool.

<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then, after checking the compatibility and rooting the handset you must go on Google Play and search for the <a class="ext-link" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEucm9tbWFuYWdlciJd" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">ROM Manager</a> app.</span></li>

<li style="line-height: 1.5em; padding: 5px 0px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then open the tool.</span></li>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>How to Update Galaxy S2 with Simplistic Jelly Bean 4.1 Custom ROM</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; padding: 10px 0px;">
</div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">The Galaxy S2 GT I9100 smartphone can be updated with the latest version of the Simplistic custom ROM firmware that comes with Note’s 2 Gallery and with the Jelly Bean 4.1 platform, so this tutorial will show you what to do in order to flash the same on your Android based device. I have also presented the features that will be added on your phone along with the pre requisites that must be completed before heading to the proper steps, so you have all the info needed for safely updating the Galaxy S2 to Jelly Bean 4.1 with the Simplistic custom ROM.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">As usual, when we are talking about a beta firmware, you should make it clear</span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;"> that you are not dealing with an official OS update that is provided by Samsung for your S2. Furthermore, if you want to apply the Simplistic ROM on your device you will have to perform a manual method, updating via KIES or OTA receiving the Android 4.1 software being impossible. So, as soon as you are aware that this is a complex and risky operation we can go further in checking the other aspects related to this topic.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">The Jelly Bean based Simplistic ROM come with a friendly user interface and with several features that can easily power up the performances of your smartphone. Some of the features that will be installed on your phone are being presented during the following image; if you want to learn more about this firmware you can anytime check our source page from here. The OS is being developed by those of xda-developers so we have them to thanks for this step by step guide. Don’t forget to take a look over our previous tutorials as there are more Jelly Bean powered custom ROMs available for your Samsung Galaxy S2. Of course the purpose is to choose the best option for you, so take your time before installing something on your handset.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<a href="http://www.android.gs/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/galaxy11-400x250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="galaxy11" border="0" class="post_thumb wp-post-image" height="250" src="http://www.android.gs/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/galaxy11-400x250.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">If you do want to update the SGS2 with the Simplistic firmware, then you must first root the system. The ROM will have to access some internal files in order to work properly, so gaining root access is a must have. The warranty will get void once you complete the mentioned operation so be careful and try not to brick the phone. Also, don’t worry as you can restore the warranty as soon as you downgrade to the stock ROM. Next, after unchaining the system, you need to download and install a custom recovery image for your S2. CWM recovery is what I recommend as it is the most popular recovery tool used by Android users worldwide.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">The CWM recovery app will be used for the updating process. Therefore a wipe of the system will be required. So, you must first backup the SGS2 contacts, messages, call logs, internet saves, EFS, and everything else you need to. For easing your work, I recommend you to use one of our backup and restore tutorials. Just search for the same through our how to section and you will find there everything you need for saving almost everything from your device.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">You are almost done with the pre requisites. The last part that is related with the preparation section is being summarized during the next list. Go and take care of the same and in the end your handset will be prepared for the update operation that will follow.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">First, make sure you have rooted the OS, installed the CWM recovery tool and backed up the data of your Galaxy S2. Else the Jelly Bean based Simplistic custom ROM will not work on your device.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Then, make sure you can use a Windows running computer and the phone’s USB cord.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">On both computer and smartphone uninstall the antivirus protection and deactivate the Firewall one; else the update procedure might get interrupted.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Charge the battery or ensure that there is at least 60% power left; else your phone might get turned off in the middle of the operation.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Go to “Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging” and check the last option.</span></span></div>
<div style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">You should apply this method only if you own the Samsung Galaxy S2 model number GT I9100 and not for similar handsets as you can end up in bricking your Android based devices.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although it was reported earlier this month that the South Korean tech giant would release the firmware update in February, a Wednesday report from SamMobile has revealed that the update had landed much earlier than it was expected before.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Considering the new Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy S2 as “by far the most major update given to a smartphone yet,” the report also has stated that in the latest firmware update “Samsung has completely ditched the old UI and has given the new Nature UX Interface, which is the same as the one being used in the Galaxy S3 Mini and the Galaxy S3.”</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Users can officially update their Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) through Samsung Kies or by using OTA (over-the-air) updates. In case you are using a custom ROM and can’t officially update the Galaxy S2 or if your country is yet to get the firmware update, you can try out the manual installation procedure explained below. But before that, take note of the following vital aspects:</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Make sure that you have proper backups for your data</span></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Ensure that your Samsung Galaxy S2 has at least 80 percent battery power</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- You must have the USB drivers for your device installed on your computer</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Ensure that USB Debugging is enabled</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- After flashing the firmware, you will lose custom ROMs such as CM10, Paranoid Android or AOKP installed in your device</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- You will also lose custom recovery such as ClockworkMod Recovery or TWRP Recovery if you have any</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- After installing it on your Galaxy S2, you will lose root if you have any</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Users should also remember that this tutorial is only for Samsung Galaxy S2, model number GT- I9100. So it should not be tried on any other Android device. In addition, users must proceed at their own risk. GalaxyStreet cannot be held responsible for anything that goes wrong.</span></div>
