migrating to the SGS 2 - Galaxy S II General

hi guys and gals.
i am currently in the process of getting rid of my SGS but replacing it with the SGS 2.
what i wanted to know is have other people done this?
have people managed to reinstall all their apps and app data from the SGS 1 [with titanium] after rooting [really dont want to have to do all my angry birds AGAIN!].
finally does anyone know what the standard UK O2 froyo version was as i'm currently running Jeuews JVB Rom so need to flash back to standard.
thanks, Rumble

just done the same thing ,sold the galaxy s as well just reinstalled a fresh version of darkkys rom before i posted it off .

Why would Optus put it on the market? It's supposed to be on our phone and we're not supposed to be able to get rid of it.
In the highly likely chance that someone would need it if they bought a phone out right ??????
I'm with 3 and they have their apps on the market.

But that's supposed to be the benefit of actually getting the phone from them. They have to have some perks.
I would also really like this as well
When I installed the generic UK firmware, it wiped it out.

I'm on stock optus running r2ba026. got the extra year warranty so i'm not rooting yet.
Wow I'm surprised optus are actually keeping up now.
Even if your phone does screw up under warranty though you can still flash back to stock firmware.
From what I've heard optus take up to a month to get the phone back to you anyway so its easier to go to a third party.

Thanks mate, your the best. Unfortunetly, I can't log in as it thinks my phone number is "invalid". I don't know what wrong, but I hope I figure it out.
Edit: I fixed it. Just realised I typed the wrong username. Thanks, works like a charm. I hate how the widget doesn't work. Optus really needs to work on that. Maybe there will be an app on the Market one day for checking Optus usage with a working widget.

Theres third party apps which work better than the optus widget. Realtime!!
I belive optus only updates every 24 hrs on their servers? I may be incorrect but was when I worked there!
I flashed my phone to 2.1 global. Installed Node Droid from market. Works better than the Optus app IMO.

Flash back to stock, take it to tmo and ask for sims 3 say the games were not there. since they don't know how to get the games back at the tmo store, they'll probably give you another new phone. LOL

I'm actually wondering about this, too. I tried restoring the game from Titanium, but it never reappears.
If we could find a ROM that it's included in we could probably yoink it from there. Idk which or where to find that off hand.

No reason to do that. The data gets wiped when you use odin to repartition. I have a .apk to get it back but you will have to pm me. Not sure if it's against forum rules to post here

I feel your pain with this problem my friend... as I had the exact same problem myself and couldn't find anybody to help me! Luckily I was able to figure it with a little help from one of the forum members. Here are the steps, it's EASY!
If you have a backup of the application from titanium backup, restore it. Yes, I know it doesn't restore the launcher for the program. We'll fix that.
Next shoot the file I've attached to somewhere on your internal SDCARD.
Download App Monster and install the .apk file for the launcher. You can also try running adb install, however depending what ROM your running that might not work. App Monster makes it relatively painless, and it's free from the market.
Viola! The Sims 3 game is reinstalled!
Hopefully you have a backup of the game. I've got the full .apk file for it, however I'm hesitant to upload it on any threads for obvious reasons.
And like previously mentioned, you can also just restore to stock ROM and all will be right as rain.
Hope this helps!
just google "The Sims 3.apk"
Will these methods work for getting sims 3 and the office suite on a custom rom if I backup with titanium first? since they are part of my phone package I would hate to lose them.

Should work, you just need to find the correct .apk packages that launch the apps. I know quite a few people who have restored the think free office stuff that comes stock on the phone with no problems.

imo the best way to do the psfreedom is in recovery. that way you dont have wifi issues and other little things ive heard about. i kow there are recoveries based on amon_ra's recovery for the g1 that have this included. im sure someone can do it to cwm or base off of amon_ra's for us.
Well I checked the site and the G2 ain't on it so was wondering if there is anyway.. and to the $28 I know they sell em but id rather just have it on my phone so I can take it easier. Since I take my phone everywhere I wouldn't have to worry about leavin it behind =p.

You only need to plug in the phone/usb dongle to boot up the system. Once it has started up, you can unplug. Yes, I have tried it. I've been doing this since the port came over to the G1 a good while ago. I would like to know where you heard this from.
I'm also waiting for a psfreedom on G2!! I dropped my G1 one too many times and it's finally dead... /tear, good times w/ the G1
i broke my G1 sometime back , i been waiting on Psfreedom on G2 since then , i havent turned off my ps3 , because i couldnt get it back into dev mode .
but now theres hope...
You only need to connect it at the startup of the PS3. Once it's started you can disconnect it.

Nope just was in system updates this morning. Very happy for those that own one since this is considered a "dead" device. I started doubting the recent purchase of it for my wife but now that she has it, the battery life will be greater with the extended battery and she'll have the newest software. I may troll around here just to keep the forum moving.
nothing new here. I thought GB was only getting pushed for DroidX this week

New Optus Users Please Read

Any new Galaxy S2 users who have a new mobile provided by Optus, this request applies to you...
Many early Optus owners rushed in and installed Custom ROMs, such as Villain / Lite'ning and did not realize that there is no current firmware (ROMs) available from Optus.
*** If you haven't installed a Custom ROM, please backup your current Optus ROM so that other Optus users can download it, thus making their phones "legal" for sending to Optus Support (if necessary)
Really big thanks to users who can help out please.

Got mine from handtec But im happy that optus is getting the phone now, maybe i can get the mms settings so i can send a mms now lol

Thanks for the "on-topic" reply. Okies I will search for a decent ROM backup guide and PM you later.
Also User - Intratech (http://forum.xda-developers.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=1835708) might be able to provide help with this.
The secret, I believe, is to be rooted, as you already are
Anyone who needs the Standard OPTUS KE2 Rom, please PM me and I will give the link for download.
**** BUT USE AT YOUR OWN RISK PLEASE, as it's not an official OPTUS released ROM ****
Thanks
[Hit up my "Thanks Meter" if it's useful ...
Hello fellow Aussies!
Hard to track similar people down by just general forum browsing. Now that I have you, could you please tell me which ROMs you recommend for the brand new SGS 2 I just got my hands on.

Hiya
Most peeps are using Lite'ning or Villain ROMs, as far as I know. It's early days yet as OPTUS apparently won't supply Samsung with their ROM!
So be careful about opting to use a custom ROM ...
So it would be too late for me to ask for the stock ROM? I flashed Lite'ning but I'm not loving it, would like to wipe it and try Villain.
Hi.
I have a brand new optus branded sg2, not yet rooted, and would like to know how I can do a backup of this, so I can use that as a restore point if possible for later on.
If anyone knows how to do this, I am more than willing to upload and share it out.
Thanks.
No screen issues on mine or my girlfriend's phones...
Also wanting to try custom roms (or at least the most recent official ones!) so am hoping optus releases their KE2 to samsung in case of warranty needs...
I find it hard to believe you dont have issues with the screen.

I had already looked at that page on my phone, didn't see a difference and still don't.
Either my eyesight is rubbish or my phone doesn't have a problem.
Either way it is definitely not noticeable for me day to day (including video watching, playing a few games and lots of web surfing) so i'm not fussed. Same goes for the girlfriend's SGS2 (according to her as well as me looking at it), not noticeably bad on that blank web page and haven't noticed issues day to day.
