The Galaxy S II packs a 1GHz dual-core processor with 1GB Ram (The original Galaxy S was single core with 512MB Ram).
Display
While the original Galaxy S won fans over with its 4-inch AMOLED screen, the Galaxy S II expands to 4.3 inches and uses Samsung’s new Super AMOLED Plus technology. Super AMOLED Plus is said to deliver a brighter, more vibrant image and Samsung swears that despite its improved performance, the beefed-up screen won’t have a negative impact on Android battery life.
Operating System
The Samsung Galaxy S II will ship with Android Gingerbread, Google’s latest smartphone-ready edition of the Android operating system. The Galaxy S in comparison, is currently running either Android 2.2 or Android 2.1, depending on the model.
Interface
The Galaxy S II comes with a new 4.0 version of TouchWiz, Samsung’s proprietary Android user interface. TouchWiz 4.0 revolves around a series of “hubs” integrated apps that let you access social features, reading materials, games, and music and also includes an integrated voice control application and Kies-based PC syncing utility.
To begin, download the ROM and the rooting files from the download links above.
Extract Galaxy Tab root files.zip to find two files named, gt-p1000_mr.pit and dbdata.tar.
Now run ODIN and click on the PDA button choosing the ROM you downloaded once prompted to browse for a file. (Make sure the repartition option is checked.)
Click on PIT and select gt-p1000_mr.pit.
That done, put your device into download mode (power button + volume down rocker) and connect it to your computer.
Hit the Start button in ODIN and wait for the firmware to be flashed.
Once the firmware is flashed close ODIN, disconnect your phone and reboot the device into download mode again.
Run ODIN again, this time clicking on PDA and selecting dbdata.tar.
Connect your device to the computer and hit Start in ODIN.
Once the flashing completes, immediately boot into recovery mode (power button + volume up rocker) and perform Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache.
Reboot!
That’s it, if you followed the instructions right, your Galaxy Tab should boot into the new Gingerbread firmware.
