On a whole it's neater, with a few important additions and eye-candy. Stock is equally fast.
Battery full notification/vibration (Battery with percentage too), extended power options(Reboot,Reccovery,Download Mode), no ascending ringtone(It was annoying), updated system apps, hacked camera (for high bitrate HD recording),Latest CWM recovery, tv animation(It is a cool screen of animation), No boot on/off sound, simpler boot animation(Original one is slow.), extended notification bar(I liked it more earlier,it is more like CM now), overscroll glow etc etc...
by the way, any huge difference between cognition and stock rom in terms of performance? other then possiblity to oc?
Yes, That's what I understand. The last flash should be Stock Kernel to get rid of the Triangle. Any custom kernel/rom flashed using download mode causes the Yellow triangle.
but cognition rom itself is already rooted, so no more need for super one click. anyways, since you said its easy to get rid of the triangle thingy, i feel safe
If you flash with CWM directly, You will need to use superOneclick to root your device as far as I understand.
oops.. doing futher reading, there is a triangle even with codeworkx version of cwm recovery. can you explain again why the triangle appears? it only appears if you flash rom/kernel with odin right? since the last flash is not something signed by samsung?
so basically, there are 3 ways to get recovery: cfroot4, cwm4.0.0.5 through odin, and regular cwm flashed through rom manager app from the market. i was thinking the latter two options would be faster and i might not have to deal with the triangle? anyways, no way to brick the phone right (except flashing a large png bootlogo)? just like in spica?
hi hellboy! anyways, i was first aware that to root s2 with all else remaining stock, we had to use cf-root4 (which is what i assume you used). cfroot kernel is also used for other custom roms like lite'ning and villainrom. but when i read cognition thread, it made no mention of using cfroot4 (and the modified cwm recovery that chainfire did). instead they used the regular cwm recovery from rom manager app or that same recovery flashed through odin which you can find in this thread [KERNEL] ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.0.5 // Initramfs Template for Devs - xda-developers. using the cwm recovery from the market, this is the method: xda-developers - View Single Post - [ROM] Cognition S2 v1.07 | Now Live! so in summary, not sure if i'm right, but we can install cwm recovery and root through a rooted custom rom without cfroot4?
