Skyrocket or S2

Hey guys im trying to decide between this phone and the skyrocket. This phone has a lot more developer support but the skyrocket is newer and has a bigger screen. What do you guys think?
Ps. Im looking to play games watch a lot of movies and flash roms

Search is your friend . This has been asked to death and often results badly :O .
OGS2 = dev support + better cpu/gpu
SR = bigger screen + LTE
There's other differences but those seem to be the main deciding factors.

Yeah. Sorry. This is my first time to this forum.

While the bigger screen on the skyrocket may seen like a boon, go check them both out. I disliked the skyrocket's slightly less contrast and clarity. It's weird considering there's only a small difference in size and the panels are the same. Also, the other thing that pushed me towards this one was better development and the combination of cpu/gpu. It's snapper.
If roms are your thing then this is the phone for you, we get the added benefit of being able to flash i9100 roms

As long as you flash the hellraiser patch you can flash any touchwiz rom and have it work, some people did this and posted it in the dev section. You can't use hellraiser for aosp roms. And no you can't flash any kernels except siyah because that dev has made a version of it for our phone

No - one of the first things Hellraiser does is replace the kernel. (Except, as mentioned above, the I777 version of SiyahKernel)

if you're going to ask this question in the GS2 section, i think you can predict what the vast majority of the answers will be.

Yes, CyanogenMod and MIUI.
But, both are supported on the i777, without having to port the i9100 version. They are ports, but someone has already tweaked them for you. All you have to do is download and flash.

[Q] ParanoidAndroid ROM?

Since we have finally received CM9 for our devices, I was wondering if anyone is working on a port of ParanoidAndroid. I would really love to have that ROM on my phone and I'm sure that others would too.
Anybody?
That ROM looks sick doesn't it? I'd love to have it on my phone, hopefully someone can make that happen
It's an awesome rom

[Q] What are some good ROMs for a tech illiterate friend?

So my friend has a Telus Fascinate and after using her phone briefly I decided she really could use a custom ROM for improved performance and to remove bloat. She doesn't own a computer and uses her phone in place of one. I am familiar with rooting, recovery and flashing custom ROMs. I've got a few questions and preferences:
I'm looking for something that will boost performance and remove bloat.
I need it to be incredibly stable as I will be flashing it and then it will be out of hands.
It doesn't matter if it's TouchWiz or not. I would prefer ICS if possible.
I've spent a bit of time lurking here but I don't think I have the time to completely educate myself on a phone I will have in possession for a few hours at most.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide, I really appreciate it!

I don't mind being on call for problems. She lives super close to me and I've given her my old Xperia Play as a temp phone because I need a USB Jig to get into download mode which I had to order. I just want something simple and stable enough for everyday use so I can minimize my involvement.

Choosing between galaxy s2 and Nexus

Hi, I am having trouble deciding on which phone to buy. I can get the S2 for 60 dollars cheaper. I am just wondering what are your thoughts ? I know there are threads like this already, but I just want some opinions. Thanks alot guys !
S2 is better. There was similar thread in Q&A why, maybe you'll find it

Well, the only difference between the two would probably be the HD screen and the camera. The Nexus is probably more future proof though. In your opinion, what would you go for?
Go for S2 or S3 if you like big screen ..cheers
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
You know, I also had to make decision - S2, Nexus, S2, Nexus... and I choosed S2.
Nexus has no microSD slot, which is important to me.
I'm using CyanogenMod as a daily ROM, then I don't need official updates so much.
But, that's only my opinion.
Go for Nexus.

Any advantages?
My personal opinion would be the Galaxy Nexus, because it's going to get updates for years. The S2 is already a bit forgotten by Samsung in my opinion. The Nexus is pure Android without any other companies making their own "version". Remember that this is all my personal opinion.

Gooapple Rom for i9100?

Hey
I have been searching the Internet if there is a Gooapple Rom (iOS clone based on Android) for the galaxy s2 but I couldn't find one.
Do you know if this exists? If yes can you post the link? If not, maybe someone experienced in porting might pick this up? The original Roms can be found on http://rom.gooapple.com/
In case you are gonna flame me why I'd like to see an iOS Rom - why not? Android is about the freedom of choice and the more choise the better
