New to the SGSII(coming from Motorola Atrix) - Galaxy S II General

Hey what's up yall, i just got my SGSII today and i'm loving it!!! I loved my atrix too and the forum over there was very helpful since it's release, sometimes a lil aggrivating the way they treat noobs that just got the phone(but every forum has a few people like that) But i'm looking forward to rooting and flashing a rom asap(and no i'm not a noob, i know how to use the search button lol) but if anybody has any suggestions on roms or whatever, please share.....

Batista or CM7 are good starts.

If you want looks and heavily themed the sensation is a good one.

idea for the few left or stuck with the hero..

K before u flame me. or say search or whatever..this is just an idea I had and though I would post and see how people felt bout it.
since most devs and theme makers left for the evo..things are slowing down on the hero front..
My idea is lets find out who is staying etc..( devs and themers ) and work on a single rom that will make all others ( evo nexus etc ) jealous or envy our hero..etc.. this might be a pipe dream.. but i figured wth right..with so many of of left im sure we could scrape together and find a happy medium on a single rom that we all will like to use etc..
the thing is we have so many nice roms to choose from.. but have to search hi and low to find what will work with them etc..
or maybe clean up the area so to speak and have what roms work with what themes and such..
I just hate that the hero will be a thing of the past before its time..
maybe we can work together pic one rom..or two..and and just work on those and theme for for them..etc..
I mean does that make sense? If we let it go it will fragment etc..and we will lose touch etc..
So who likes this idea? or better yet who has some suggestions related etc..
I just dont want the hero section to die..when u have smartphones like the vogue and tp/diamond tp2 etc still being dev'd on and such..
What do u guys think!!! and please be nice.. lol just trying to help and get us remaining hero peps to unite..
I'm not a dev, nor a themer, but if I could get myself into learning how to theme, then I'm down. I visit this site several times a day, and admire all the awesome work that everyone has done, maybe answer a few questions that I can answer, etc.
I've had my Hero since January, and stumbled to this site sometime in late March and I've been hooked since. My dad just bought the EVO, so I've been following the EVO threads, but I still have my Hero roots.
Having one solid thing is the way of the iPhone. I beleive that fragmentation is actually helping Android, solely because there are so many different things to choose from.
Think about it, most people are just going to see it as
"Oh, the Hero only has one ROM, but then Evo has six"
People are still coming in and asking "Does X work in this ROM" "What ROM is the best ROM" and all that nonsense (Pun intended).
TL;DR people rarely read the first post.

[Q] transitions for the epic?

i was browsing the EVO forums looking for a Rom for My Girl and i saw one Rom that had pretty koo transitions "idkwhothatis123" had it in his halloween theme but just in general would like them for just any rom, little things like that matters to me atleast lol. i was wondering if it can be dont with our Epic's, i mean i know it can but does it need froyo

XDA Props

I am recently new to all of this root developement and I'm looking forward to knowing more about it. Want it to be a second nature to me in the future. My Cousin( xda member) rooted my Evo last night and I haven't put down my device since.
Thanks alot for the support and what you guys do for this community.
Indeed these guys (and gals) are great. Rooting is kind of easy now for me but I got to know how to do it thanks to the great tutorials and tools released by the devs and the support of the staff on XDA.
Welcome aboard! Glad your lovin the evo, its an amazing device and since i got mine iv been learning so much sometimes it gives me the brain pain lol.
But its all worth it in the end when you can make it do anything you want it to, and no one elses is quite like ypur own
Thx for the input.
Sent from my rooted Evo using XDA app.
Just go take a look at the "show us your phone" thread in Themes and Apps. You'll be flashin' like a crazy person in no time!!

[Q] (ATTN:Devs RE: Hulu) not sure where to post

First and foremost I Praise be to the Devs on this site, you are gods to the android community
Second: I looked around the forum and I swear I didn't see a post about this so I apologize if it's a repost.
I was sitting in my house tonight and had a friend come over that I decided to root his evo for him and use the current Mikfroyo. So I get done with the root and rom and start going through things to make sure it was stable. long story short, I opened the Hulu app and it stated that it wasn't supported (ArGH!). I tried the same on my Evo that I rooted two weeks ago and it didn't work either (Loving the Rom BTW thank you for making it, donating when I get the cash)... anyway are any devs aware of this (I tried different versions as well and got the same)
Posted this here just to be safe, if this needs to be else where I hope someone will move it.
Thank you Devs for all that you do and I'm learning to create my own rom on here hopefully one day it will be good enough to post side by side with you guys

A sincere thank you!!

Hello all... As a somewhat noob to flashing android roms and the such, I wanted to throw out a sincere thanks to all that have helped me and/or written guides on other topics.. I currently own an HTC HD2, now running Hyperdroid cm7 3.0 with the Elegance theme .. Just a week ago, I had what I thought was a bricked device after trying to flash a rom (I had bought it already android flashed)..but some folks were kind enough to answer my cry for help, point me in the right direction, and now, after scouring this site for a week, I have graduated from noob to medium grade android flasher! (lol) So I just wanted to send out a HUGE thank you to anyone who has helped me, helped others, written guides, tutorials, etc. or pointed any other noobs in the right direction...thanks very much again to everyone on this site, cause I've learned a lot and to be honest, this sh!t is fun!! I look forward to contributing along with everyone...THANKS AGAIN!!!
yep, the guys here are great!
