Rogers Galaxy S II

Will the Rogers' version of the Galaxy S II be compatible with the ROMS, themes, tweaks from here? My guess is no since it doesn't bear the i-9100 or i-9100M tag.
Model: SGH-1727R
Android 2.3.5
Normally I'd just try flashing them, but not when I bought it outright for over $700

Just picked up my SGH-I727R at the Robbers and am thinking the Skyrocket will be a good seller thus our Galaxy S II's will get Root and all the good Rom's that come with that.

Just finished rooting a Rogers GS2 yesterday using the Zerg method from thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335702
Took about 3 minutes, works like a charm.

SGH-I727R? OK, you've got a rebranded ****rocket (with Crapdragon).
I9100 ROMs are NOT compatible in any way. AT&T Skyrocket ROMs will be. Also, porting ROMs and such from the T-Mobile T989 should be fairly easy.
The ****rocket and T989 have NOTHING in common with the remainder of the Galaxy S II series except for a name and a sAMOLED+ screen - everything else about them is completely different.

That's sad to hear...hopefully we'll get as good of a development support as my previous i-9100M did.
But 1 question though...why are you so jealous??

Yeah I was going to pick one up next week, but may wait until the Nexus, since that is only a week or two away it seems. I don't know what to do :/

How is it gonna receive support any close to sgs2 original when this is essentially a 2 operator phone both of which are known for one or none updates per year?

[Q] Best android phone to buy under 10k india

Hey xdites
Le me Using a SGA right now and le mum needs a new phone as she lost her previous
Requirements are basic calling and a little interest in GPS
If a good phone then OS can be sacrificed

May The Force Be With You

That's around $200 Australian. You should be able to pick up something very capable for that price. I'd look at an original Galaxy S, HTC Desire HD or Motorola Atrix
I hear there's a fair bit of price hiking in the Indian grey market though, so it may be cheaper for you to look Internationally. A lot of your fellow countrymen who operate here use Aramex or Worldnetexpress to forward their goods from New York
Good luck!

LOL all those phones here are of double the price 20k
------------
May The Force Be With You

Then you are getting ripped blind my friend, no wonder so many Indian guys hang out in the MP!
I suppose then you'd be looking at something like a Galaxy W, Wildfire S or similar? I'll ask one of the guys to drop into your thread and pass on their advice for you

Thanks looking forward to it

are you looking for new ones or used devices ?

You can get a Dell XCD 35 for around 7.5k with warranty, brand new.
If you can work with used phones, you will be able to source a mint condition captivate, fascinate for around 10-11k.
Where are you located? Let me know, i might be able to help if you are in and around Delhi or Chandigarh.

[Q] Xoom family - ICS & root

Is Xoom family edition worth buying. I searched forum and could not find any custom development happening for family edition. I definitely need ICS and rooted tablet.
Thanks

Don't get FE or Xoom2 then. Neither is unlockable. Stick with original Xoom for best dev support.

Probably Galaxy is a better choice then based on local availability. Thanks a lot for saving my money.

I learned the hard way, and didn't have enough time to really check into things before I pulled the trigger on a Xoom FE. It was rootable, but that is all...
I ended up selling the FE and bought a Xoom wifi, much better

Buying a new smartphone

Hello everyone,
Can you offer me a good phone for the price of 450 USD? I've watched many reviews and the phones that caught my attention were Sony Xperia P, HTC One S...I'm also wondering about Xperia Arc S (which is cheaper), but you don't buy a new phone every month so I prefer something newer. So...I'm waiting for your advices and thanks in advance.

i would go with tge htc thats my opinion

You have a budget of $450? Go for the unlocked Gnex for $350, it has a big dev community and will get updates the fastest. In addition, JB with project butter has had outstanding results, similar in speed to how WP7 runs so smooth on single core 1ghz snapdragons.
if you don't mind the 5mp camera and on screen buttons, I say definitely get it
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium

The one s is the better of the two,but you should consider other options too.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA

Yes, buy the HTC One S... you have a longer time fun with this device! And a really great support in this forum.

Before buying a new phone search for this:
1. Compatible with a stable version or Nightly version of CM9-10 or any other supported rom. (That means that is a device it’s currently developed.)
2. Listen what the device users say in the forums. (They have one they know their behavior problems)
3. Search for a recovery or a backup for the device OS. (You will be in guarantee so find a solution for any problem can succeed)
4. Look if the OS version is upper than 4.0 or recent 4.1.X (Gingerbread it's OK but it's going old each day, Jelly Bean seems a stable version)
5. Look the specs and the price. (Analyze the price with the specs it have)
Hope it was useful

Aahh, it's a tough decision. The One S has the more powerful CPU and the bigger screen, but I've read that the screen of the Xperia P is better (higher pixel density, plus that White Magic technology), the One S also lacks NFC (yeah, you can't do much with it now, but maybe in 2-3 years it will be useful). Tell me the pros and cons of the two.
Sorry for the stupid question but what's Gnex? Is it Galaxy Nexus and if it is, then where do I get it for $350 ?

Galaxy nexus is an international GSM phone,if you have at least EDGE network (2G) it will work.
It is also very beautiful, and a Google Device,so you know you're in safe hands.

HTC would be good

Of the aforementioned I like tha Galaxy Nexus most, but the problem is that it's not available in my country (Bulgaria) through Google Play. I should find a way to buy it.

Try a Samsung Shop as opposed to your network carrier. That way you're sure it's the sim unlocked international version.

Under the title Buy they say were to buy it if not wait until you can in the play store ! :laugh::laugh:

You know what, I have another idea. I have relatives in USA and I can send them the money so they can buy it for me. Then they'll send it to me by courier. What do you think?

Shipping is expensive for tech,but you could have them lie about the value on the forms.
My advice is to exhaust all local options first, if shipping proves cheaper,then go for it.

I found it in my country for $416 and I think it will be cheaper to buy it from here. And about the Galaxy Note 2 - I think it'll be much more expensive.

[Q] Difference between P6800/P6810 and SCH-i815?

Hi, I'm looking to get a Galaxy Tab 7.7 and it seems the cheapest used one on ebay is the SCH-i815. I assume the difference in model number has to do with the ability to use 4G LTE on Verizon, which I'm not concerned with really, except that this version seems to be selling for cheaper. My concern is when I root this tablet can I use the any of the ROMs listed under the development section? All of them seem to be listed for P6800/P6810 and when I search within I don't find the term i815 or 815 as a separate thread or a within any of these threads.
Thanks

There are only 3 ROMs you can use currently:
Paranoid Android
CM9
CM10
Sorry to say it, but that's it. Carrier devices typically get the least support, this tab in particular was priced into oblivion, so not very many people spent the premium $ on it.

Yeah, it's expensive. I specifically want it for the Super AMOLED Plus display. I plan on building a fiberglass mount to go over my current stereo and I figured this tablet will have the best readability in sunlight. I'll use my GNex as a hotspot, so I really don't need the carrier radios in it. I bet they don't come out with new tablet with a 7" or larger Super AMOLED display for another year. Especially with the Nexus 7 being as cheap as it is (I currently have this tablet). Maybe I'll just get another Nexus 7 instead, I'll have to try it out and see how it fares.

What's a good price for the SCH-I815?

I just got mine for $250 refurbished, so I would think that price is better is "good." It has less support overall compared to the 6800/6810, so take that into consideration...

To be fair, all 3 variants have little support. Its all Locerra's doing.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

That's true. Manufacturer support is poor... perhaps I should have said that there are more custom/working roms/tools for the AT&T variants.

Yeah. There is 0 ROMs for it. Literally. We're lucky electron worked out getting a stock ota.
