Android 2.3.6 update for SGS2

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 ;)

Steps from  http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

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.
