  • The First Custom ROM For The Samsung Galaxy S II Is Now Available For Download

    The original Samsung Galaxy S had a very strong developer community behind it churning out excellent ROMSs like Darkys, looks like the same is gonna happen with it’s successor. pulser_g2 from XDA has released the first custom ROM for the Galaxy S II called the VillainROM 1.0, don’t be confused by the image above the ROM shall be fully stock.The ROM is based on XWKE2, the developer describes it as:

    It’s fully deodexed, and I’ve resigned all the Samsung and stock applications with a new key-set, so that it’s much easier to make modifications to the apps in future. Villain Tweaks was a project of mine to “test the water” for modifying the apps in the SGS 2 ROMs. I hit issues I couldn’t get around, since the pre-installed apps were signed by Samsung.

    Do note guys is ROM is in it’s primary stages and would take some time to be usable on the daily basis so install it at your own risk.

  • Samsung Galaxy S II Coming To Telus As The Samsung Hercules

    Remember the Hercules? Yeah the T-Mobile phone with the 4.5-inch screen set to release sometime after the Galaxy S II’s release, well it looks like Telus a Canadian carrier is planning to launch the phone very soon.

    This sounds legit since Telus is known for releasing T-Mobile specific phone in the past like for example the Galaxy S 4G. The picture was taken by MobileSyrup in a VIP event by Samsung yesterday in Toronto.

    As far as specs are concerned it was reported to have a 4.5-inch display and the same internals of the Samsung Galaxy S II including a dual core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 8MP back camera with 1080p recording and a good quality front camera which seems to be a 2MP sensor. It’s also suppose to be Canada’s first dual carrier 42Mbps smartphone. The phone looks like a cross between a Nexus S and a Galaxy S II, which looks great indeed.
