Hi Russell, Thanks to you, I will consider to install CGM 7 (stable) on my S2 soon. I just need some time to backup everything and then I will let know to the mailing list here how it went. Jean On 13 March 2012 23:00, < free-software-melb-request@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au> wrote:

Thanks, that's great to know. For me, I'll prefer to wait for Cyanogenmod 9 to be stable and then install it on my galaxy S2.

Hello,

F-Droid is a great app repository. By the way did someone here tried to install CyanogenMod or Replicant OS? Is it as usable as android 2.3?

Please have a look at this page Free your Android https://fsfe.org/campaigns/android/liberate.en.html

Also try F-Droid, there is a bunch of relevant resources on the fsfe website. http://fsfe.org/campaigns/android/liberate.en.html

F-Droid does look good http://f-droid.org/

There seem to be a number of FOSS apps on the Google market not available here, might try and fix that...

For now, however, trying to solve an OpenSudoku puzzle :-) -- Brian May

I am running Cyanogenmod 7 on this phone. It works really well, I can't compare with stock Android 2.3 as I have never tried it.

The process of installing Cyanogenmod was painful and they had no docs for going from android 2.2. -- Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S Android phone with K-9 Mail.

Why wait?

You really need to have your phone rooted right from the start. Without root access you can't do a full backup and therefore you don't want to do much with a phone before rooting it.

So if you are rooting the phone then you might as well mod it at the same time. If nothing else the process of installing CGM 9 over CGM 7 is probably going to be better supported than installing CGM 9 over whatever your S2 currently has.
