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
You always could. All Aus telco apn settings are on Ausdroid website. I'm a new user so can't post links but I'm sure you'll find it ok

All my Optus APN settings were automatic for me!
I've heard that the Optus ROM is noticeably slower e.g. a speed difference in unlocking the phone..

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

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.
Much appreciated!
Any optus users experiencing screen issues?

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.

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'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.

I have to agree with you, that's why I check on the bootloader thread everyday. I lost all hope for a prompt update coming from Sony Ericsson. Those guys are going to loose face big time. I relly jope that the devs here will beat then to 2.1 or *crosses his fingers* 2.2.
Sent from my X10a using Tapatalk
Zero times, my phone is in getting fixed the usb terminal has broken so i hope my phone comes back with 2.1 but then again i'm in Australia and everything arrives late here.
more often than i think i should admit to.....
I know this is another GalaxyS device, but it seems that there really isnt any interest for it in the community. Does the ticker screen cause enough compatibility issues that we most likely wont see Cyanogen or anything for it? What about support from Samsung, are we likely to fall behind the curve for 2.2 release?
Iv had it for a few days and I love the formfactor, but Im considering swapping it for a fascinate for the modability. Any opinions?
There is currently no support from the developer community, but all it takes is one good dev and we'll be in business. There's really no way of knowing if 2.2 will lag behind, since no US Galaxy S phones have gotten the update yet... Only time will tell on both I'm afraid.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Samsung has began releasing the 2.2 update in certain countries from what I've read. So it should only be a matter of time before the USA gets it. The update will come via Kies I believe (Samsung's update software for PC).
As for custom ROMs for the Continuum, I believe development may be slow for this phone due to the ticker display. The ticker makes it more difficult to develop for. However, I'm confident we'll get some custom ROMs at some point. I'd be really nice if Samsung skipped 2.2 and went straight to 2.3 but that'll never happen.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
One of the first things we are going to need is a custom recovery to be able to backup/restore the phone. I suspect this will take someone loaning their phone to koush in order to get clockwork recovery and rom manager support. I know I am leery to try anything without having a way to restore, even if I have to restore to default.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Yeah a stock ROM would be excellent. There will be plenty of people who delete necessary apps with root access even before custom ROMs are available.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Well we're gonna need a custom recovery first, so that is one of the bigger issues.
Sent Koush a tweet asking what he would need and offered my phone for a period of time. I still have my D1 I can use.

Glad to see the Continuum Forum up and running! I know very little about development and such, but I'm open to testing out things. I'll be following the threads here as much as possible.
I was thrilled with the idea of this phone when it was released, but the limits on the ticker make it nearly unusable (no gmail? and Samsung's e-mail app is horrible).
I was thinking about returning it, but with the new found forum here on XDA, my hope is renewed.
Ok so, I've given it the mmost time I was willing not to say anything, but Can we please get an update or 2? PLEASE!!!!!! It's killling me!!!!!!

I am getting my SGS2 from ATT Friday, from a friend, and I am curious if these roms for SGS2 International will also support the ATT branded SGS2?
yes it will since its the same phone, only minor cosmetic changes. OS/Firmware will be the same.
No, it will not be the same.. you will need a custom kernel that supports the 4 touch buttons on the front and is able to boot an I9100 rom. This is how they did it on the Captivate with I9000 roms.. Just be patient and wait for devs to try it before you flash your phone into an unusable state...

Sadly , Samsung didn't include this feature in ANY rom for the Tab 2, and as far as i can see, no custom rom has this either, I recall hearing of a group who tested it on our device, but it was scrapped for being far too unstable, slow and all around too much for our tabs to handle, I would think the tab 2, maybe overclocked if even would be enough to handle Multiwindow, but I don't know, I'd dig around a little bit , Google is your best friend! Would be cool to have it.
