Played with SGS2 today (after a long time)
Finally i got around to playing with S2 and upgraded the firmware. Samsung is not releasing the upgrade in India through Kies hence had to resort to loading Australian 2.3.6 firmware.
First i backup using Kies. Took a long time to backup. During this time the XWKK2 was downloading so multitasking ;)

First I rooted the phone and did a nandroid backup as well as Titanium backup.
Then I loaded Australian SGS2 XWKK2
Was worried about not flashing Indian CSC but Vodafone seem to work with the image. :)
Post this I wanted to change to more customized kernel hence loaded up Suyah kernel using Odin.
ROM manager does not work with the CF-root installed CWM recovery but CWM manager by chainfire works fine.
Lets see how this works out. Have been struggling with the power. must be one of tones of application I installed. Was much better with stock apps only.
PS. Also purchased Philips DVD player and Logitech 2.1 THX certified speakers. Have to write about them too.
