Hi,
Ive owned a Galaxy S since launch and am pretty good with roms, firmwares, rooting, kernels etc.
But recently received my Galaxy S2. How does one go about rooting this phone? Any current methods... had a quick look on these forums, but not much available yet...
Can someone point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

LOL we do indeed exist. It's not a lie (There's Chainfire too who rooted it, so you might have seen his stuff) The SGS II forum seems quite nice just now - not much needing done other than the odd thread move. You'll probably see me around a bit (if I get a GS2)

That sounds like a challenge =D I will try and make a couple of stickies in the next few days once we get some hard facts about the devices... Then a big announcement of "don't ask questions answered in the sticky".
Then people will ignore it

I won't say anything if you don't Let's all hide and pretend nobody is here
I just made a really simple widget that just makes a "shadow" for you to use as an overlay. Right now its just 1 color and 1 opacity, no settings. This is the very first thing I have EVER made for android so that's why it's so simple. I will try and add customization soon, if someone can help me with it that would be great otherwise I'll just figure it out myself(might take a little while). Hopefully this helps someone out there to make the creation of a "Hubs" style layout a bit easier.
Download here: http://bit.ly/hubswidget
- Hopefully that link works, I don't really know how to upload stuff for people to download so if there's a better way please tell me.
Also please tell me what you think. I am open to any and all suggestions (just keep in mind I am completely new to this).
Just another cool thing: this was created completely on my prime.

There are 2 or 3 posts about HUBS and how to create the widgets and such already in this forum, including a post from the original author. The link below is to his post and it has tutorials and videos that will show you all you need to know to create the HUBS layout that works best for you. It will give you all the help you need to make whatever widgets you like. You might have already seen this post but here it is just incase... If so just keep at it as it is very easy, just takes a bit of time.

IDK, what the point of your post is or why you are posting it here. I KNOW how to make a HUBS layout. I already have mine set up. This is a post for an app that I MADE that makes a simple widget for HUBS. Please actually read the OP next time.

I did read your silly OP and it said nothing about an "app" and I quote "I just made a really simple WIDGET that just makes a "shadow" for you to use as an overlay." You made it sound like you were experimenting with HUBS. Also when I replied there was no [APP] in the title of your thread just [HUBS] so don't come back calling me out when I was just trying to help according to what was in the original OP. Take your 43 posts to some other forum Jackass. If you would have read my post I stated that YOU MIGHT have seen that post I linked to, so show a little respect when someone is only trying to help instead of popping off, and maybe "Please actually read YOUR OWN OP next time.
EDIT: OP see my post below, I don't usually lose my temper like this.

You are right, I was wrong to flame. I just lost my temper to the sarcastic post he replied back to someone just trying to help. I don't claim to know it all and I help where I can... Where do you see that i'm bragging?
Again to the OP, I'm sorry for losing my temper. But without downloading and actually seeing this was an .apk it does sound like it is just a saved widget. So that being said thank you for making the app as will save some time for people doing HUBS.

Well telling somebody with significantly less posts than you to take his few posts somewhere else qualifies for bragging in my eyes .

Ya, sorry I didn't need to say my thoughts so harshly. You were just trying to help, I just thought the OP stated that I made this widget for other people to make it easier for them to make Hubs layouts. I see that it wasn't that obvious and I'm sorry for the harsh response. We are both in the wrong so lets just forgive and forget.

You bet thank you! I have downloaded the .apk and will give it a try soon as my prime is charged. I am no Dev by any means but will help out with it any way I can.
Finally got time to give it a try and it does what it says quick and easy. Works with no problems and i'll keep an eye out to see how far you can go with it. If it gets to different colors/transparencies and pre-made with text it will really be a great time saver. Not sure all of that could be done though.
I tried it, but when I stretch it across my screen in landscape it doesn't go all the way across. I use ADW with 10x10 grid and it only fills about 6 or so grids across but its centered...

Thanks for that, I'm not entirely sure why that is since i made the normal size of the widget 1300x900, but I'll look into it. Just wondering, were you just testing it or do you actually need it full screen. I kinda figured nobody would ever need it fullscreen so I never really checked it. Right now I'm working on that configuration menu(still trying to figure out how to use a color picker in my widget...so if anyone could help that would be great), but I'll try to address this issue as well when I release the new update.
EDIT:
Actually I just fixed that full screen problem, I just had height and width mixed up

They are in your mind.
They are real, but.... not real.
Who can know? Who can say? And what does it all mean? And how does one spell "their"?
Remember your first posts here, you really seemed to hate your phone. Good to see you've maintained the rage.
How's East Belfast these days?
Nope don't hate the phone, I got a new one and have had no issues with it at all really. And as for east Belfast I don't live there,

Back on topic, what's the rush for ICS? Wait for an official release, the devs will do good things with it.
Seeing as no-one's answered you yet, the leaked ROMS are over at SamMobile, google it.

With the forums changing formats for the main page I can't seem to find an easy way to do something that was very easy before. That was when being able to go to the latest post in a particular forum by just clicking the date that the last post was created (today, yesterday... etc) on the main page for the forum. Now when you click on the topic you go to the first page of the topic and have to click again to go to the last page. Anybody have any solutions for this? Its not that bad but its a little annoying.

I am hoping its a glitch in the coding. Not a new look. its horrid.
I agree, I like the old look so much better.
Yep messed my layout. +1 to hopefully a glitch

I haven't been on lately because I've been really busy. I do hope they switch back because I'll be on even less if the layout stays like this.
The other one was so much better. And it doesn't make sense that the sub-genre forums still have the old look, even though the root forum doesn't.
Found out the person in charge of those working on the changes to the forum if you would like to message him about the changes from our Forum Admin. His name is @svetius .

Haven't sent him a pm yet. Just found out this morning. Will probably send one sometime this afternoon. Figured I would post his name if anybody else wanted to send him anything about the new look as well.

Thanks for your response. Can you give us an Idea of some of the Changes that are coming up so we can get an idea of what changes to expect. Also is there any way for us to change the layout to something else for those that don't like the new look? I was also wondering why the look is changing in the first place? in my opinion there was nothing wrong with the old look.
Maybe this will be helpful to some. You can locate this at the bottom of the website. I still personally like the 2013 layout lol.

svetius,
While I agree with the issue pointed out in the OP, I do like many things about the new look. For example, the way recent thread activity is displayed under each section. It would be nice to just click and get taken to the latest unread (or just latest) post in the thread.

Welcome to the HAM2 forum, fellow HAMster ....
First search to make sure there's not an existing thread that your question would fit into or an answer already exists.
Next, find the relevant section, such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general where you want to create a new thread, and use the "New Thread" button if appropriate, to start a new thread with your question.
Anyone experiencing issues with xda premium and tapatalk? Mentioned names don't appear and cannot quote others. Server related maybe, @svetius?
In one picture I highlighted one of my posts where at the beginning of the sentence I mentioned another xda member. On the apps its blank left with a comma. In the other picture is me trying to quote someone but as you see, its blank.
OK, I wonder how many would like to weed through Note 8.0 topics to get through Galaxy Note 8 topic info?
Right now the Galaxy Note 8.0 is becoming or is the Galaxy Note 8 thread. So please feel free to check out topics waiting for you peeps and are just sitting there.
Samsung screwed the pooch with bad naming convention for two diff products from different times. Christ almighty!
Mods just don't care... maybe if Sony and Apple peeps started posting topics in this area, mods would wake up.
OK, now you all can say go away hoser! Off with you, and get a real phone!
The fact that you're posting here for US to read means that WE are not the one's confused about which is the correct device forum. Posting this here for us to see is quite pointless because we aren't the one's posting in the 8.0 forum....DUH
