Jun 27	comment	Can I replace the system font just for Japanese text? So I can change the fonts on my phone by renaming and replacing the font files, without needing an app?

Jun 17	comment	Can someone recommend a ROM and kernel for the Galaxy S2 that works fully? @Sparx: It seems there's one more update for the S2 kernel, it's at 3.3.2 now. I've installed that. Also, one more question about the stock ROM. The whole reason I rooted and installed a custom ROM was to remove bloatware and release myself from my carrier's USB tethering charges. If I install the stock ROM, will that not include bloatware and also revert me back to the USB tethering system that was in place before?
Jun 17	comment	Can someone recommend a ROM and kernel for the Galaxy S2 that works fully? @AlEverett: Except I am not looking for recommendations of just "good" or "better". My current ROM has had specific issues: WiFi, compass, and GPS issues. So is it not specific enough to be looking for a ROM that does not have those issues?
Jun 16	comment	Can someone recommend a ROM and kernel for the Galaxy S2 that works fully? @ce4: Aren't "nightlies" unstable? I thought "nightly" meant they were the versions being developed and worked on.
Jun 16	comment	Can someone recommend a ROM and kernel for the Galaxy S2 that works fully? @Sparx: Thank you for the recommendations. However, I've just tried Googling a bit, and I'm not sure exactly what the difference is or where exactly to download. Any chance of a more firm recommendation or breakdown of the differences? Also, are these all ROMs? Is my kernel okay and should I only be looking at ROMs?
Jun 16	comment	Can someone recommend a ROM and kernel for the Galaxy S2 that works fully? @Sparx: Nothing wrong with it, I just didn't know it was an option. I know a bit about flashing ROMs from having been through the process, but I'm hardly an expert. Where would I get a "stock" ROM? And if I use a "stock" ROM, will I still have root access?

Jun 13	comment	What are the optimal settings for a video that will be played on a Galaxy Tab 10.1? Great answer! One question: I don't use Handbrake, so I don't know what RF:20 means in terms of bitrate. Can you provide an actual bitrate number that would be ideal?

Jun 8	accepted	Compass north and south are reversed on my Samsung Galaxy 2
Jun 8	comment	Battery life depends on type of charger Whether this is likely to be true or not, this is not an answer to the question. The question is why is the duration shorter, not if it is. You may not believe the questioner's circumstances, but if so, it would be more appropriate to ask them to provide usage data to verify their claim instead of outright dismissing it. It might turn out that usage is the difference, but you may also be surprised.
Jun 2	comment	Can I open a route I created in Google Maps in Navigation? I have the same experience as @cjk. This method will take a saved location, and then determine a route to that location from one's current location. This is not the same has plotting a whole route, and then being able to follow that route, which is what is hoped for in the question.

May 30	comment	Compass north and south are reversed on my Samsung Galaxy 2 @GAThrawn: I've tried a variety of apps, and as far as I can tell, they all show the exact same problem.
