I reckon it will be good, I would develop it more like a tablet than a phone dont know about others, but i had the option to go the note or the s2 and i went with the s2 obviously but still looks cool (the note) Follow me on Twitter !

Hey guys. I am on Lite'ning Rom 6.1 and I am trying to install a new rom. But whenever I try to install a new rom using Rom Manager/Clockwork it fails. It tells me 'failed to verify whole file signature' and such like. Then, I tried to download XWKE7 firmware from XDA, but when I unzipped it there was no .tar file! In short, my phone refuses to remove 6.1 or change from it.

Thanks for that. I am unzipping the files yet for some reason they come up as z images, not .tar files. Anyone know why this is? Trying to google as we post.

Is there a tool/benchmark/battery check software you use?

Trying to google as we post. dont use cwm/rom manager within android. reboot to recovery and install from there. "install zip from sd card", "choose zip", browse for the zip file, go back, go back, reboot #winning. try that - Telstra HTC Touch Pro2 - Energy ROM WM6.5.5 20 Oct/Cyanogen Mod Froyo 2.2 - R.I.P - AT&T Galaxy S Captivate 16GB on XT (now with brother) - Samsung Galaxy S2 on XT- Runs ICS 4.0.3 Resurrection Remix 9.2 - Business Hours - Work In The Electricity Industry, After Hours - DJ/Turntablist - Will Scratch Vinyl For Free' - What's next???

Is there a tool/benchmark/battery check software you use? I am no developer but thanks to XDA I have caught up pretty fast, most devs post an AnTuTu Benchmark screenshot on their rom feature page. As they say on XDA only you can make a rom work for you so I suggest not just benchmarking the rom but configure it completely to your liking, apps, widgets, etc and then run the benchmark to get a true level of one rom to the next. Along with betterbatterystats to monitor kernel changes I have been able to see a definite difference in the 5 roms ive tried.

what i usually do is cook something up and get to a point where im really happy with it then upload a test build like "RC1" or Release Candidate etc.. once it has been tested properly by a group of selected people j make a few changes, test again then upload. Bench marks tell you very little regarding to the feel of a ROM. infact i can pretty much control how a benchmark will result by changing a few very minor things in the kernel but wont change the feel of the whole ROM So basically its just about testing.. once youve done it for a while you know whats fast and stable and whats not. Personally i think my Sensation ROMs would be the fastest out at the moment but im just not as well known as the likes of Mike and Baadnewz Follow me on Twitter !
