    ... and an update already... Jeez he's just banging them out every 2 days now!

    I'm still happy out on 2.2, might flash the kernel and modem only though, seems to be still bugs wrt everything else on the latest update.

    Im using Villain Rom 2.1 on mine at the minute.
    Excellent ROM with NO FCs at all.
    LauncherPro Plus as my launcher simply because I LOVE the gmail widgets and havent been able to find anything Comparable in the marketplace.
    The clock is a live wallpaper called 'WP Clock'
    Made the dock shortcuts using 'Simple Text' app free from the market.

    Why dont they concentrate on making a savage good ROM rather than dishing out a five eight job every few days...

    VR2.3,

    I'm Using VillainRom 2.1. Don't think there is anything past version 2.1 yet. Unless you are talking about a different Firmware.

    Yeah 2.1 is the latest, I was aghast that I could be so far out of date already when I read the post :)

    Currently using CriskeloROM 4.0. Havnt had any FC's over the last few days. Lot of weird animations in it though. Some nice design choices in it but some weird ones too. Most of the Samsung apps are removed but I think he put Social Hub back in 4.1

    No, I was surprised at this too VR 2.3 has been out since yesterday !!:eek: For some reason Pulser hasn't updated the title of the threads on XDA or over at VillainROM.co.uk

    I eventually found the link which was tough when you consider that the thread is about 950 pages long! ........oh wait went looking for the post and see that he has updated the title. Here's the thread

    I'd also just like to direct you to the original post by Pulser with yesterday's date on it, just in case you don't believe me

    Doesn't sound like there's much difference tbh

    noticing a huge improvement on phone after flashing nimphetimine over litening 2.2. I haven't used phone much over last day as I'm travelling but a 9% drain over 18hours in idle is pretty sweet!

    Looks like it was accidentally named 2.3 rather than 2.2. Seems to be just a minor kernel update, might give it a miss for now, life is too short for reflashing firmwate every week :-)

    Thats pretty impressive.
    I am having major battery drain now. Im on 4.1 with ninphetamine kernel.
    Might flash back to 2.2 with ninphetamine kernel and see if its better.

    Edit - flashed back to 2.2 with above kernel. hoping its battery is good.

    I flashed Lightning 1.5, everything is good bar the sound when listening to music/podcasts. Even at max volume its very faint! Anyone else have this issue?

    Mate has Gingerbread on his and the volume thing is not an issue so considering flashing to that. Would the steps involved be just the same as when I flashed Lightning? i.e put the phone into development mode, connect to odin, and flash the rom?

    Sorry for all the questions!

    AFAIK you will have to wipe the phone if you are going to a different Rom.
    Flash litening 2.0 with odin and see if it fixes sound. After you flash 2.0 there is 2.1 and 2.2 updates with you update via CWM.

    Scroll down to downloads section

    Once youre in recovery mode with CWM theres a wipe option. Easy as that.
    Just make sure you have up to date backups. I lost a lot of Angry Birds levels that way :(

    Running lightening ROM 3 and looking for the Dummys guide to adding a boot animation. Saw a few on XDA but no instructions on how to install. Anyone know how I could say load something up like the below?

    Does rooted mean you have 'jailbroke' phone and get apps by other means ;) and install them?

    Can I clear caches in cwm?
    I know how to clear dalvik cache but is there another cache they recommend to clear?

    I use this saves it as a file on your sd card so even if your backups are old once the version of angry birds is the same it'll back it up.
    Handy!

    @ Iggy

    1. use the usb cable to copy the 2.2update.zip file from pc to your phone directory, not to your SD card! (it should show up under my computer -> I9100 -> phone - or something similar, just drag and drop the file into that folder)
    2. Open CWM - it should have a message pop up saying "CWM has been granted superuser access" - if its asking you to grant CWM superuser access, allow it to.
    3. Scroll down to "Flash an update.zip"
    4. press Flash update.zip
    5. phone will scan for .zip updates
    6. The next screen should have "Files" at the top and "litening_Rom_v2-2-update.zip underneath it.
    7 Select that zip and it should auto update for you.

    When I connect my phone to my laptop I get the following options (attached), removable E been the SD card and removable F been the phone memory. So do I just drag it onto removable F and not into any particular folder?

    You need to fix permissions in ROM Manager after you flash each new ROM, that will fix the FC's.

    Cheers. Sorry forgot to include the attachment on my original post, this is it attached now. The phone doesn't come up as "phone" or "samsung" or whatever, just "removable drive F"...so that's definitely it? Sorry to be annoying, just don't want to mess anything up!

    Final question...I have flashed the update so can I now just delete the zip file from my phone or does it need to remain? I presume it can just be deleted?
