Personalizing your Samsung Galaxy SII

1. How to change the default sounds in SII?
i. You need to root your phone to do this. Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309293
ii. Get the Root Explorer apps to navigate into the system folders.
iii. Go to /system/media/audio/ui
iv. The following files are listed with its respective purposes:
  • Charger_Connection.ogg - phone starting to charge
  • Lock.ogg - phone lock
  • TW_Low_Battery.ogg - low battery warning
  • TW_Touch.ogg - default press button
  • Unlock.ogg - phone unlock

2. Battery indicator
Download Battery Status Ultimate apps to have a numbered battery status for SII. Battery power left is shown in percentage form in top left hand corner for viewing.
3. Data status
Download Data Counter widget apps to notify on your network usages. Can be setup to monitor from different dates of the month so that matches your cell provider statement date.
4. CPU and Network monitor widget
Download SysStatLive apps to have a cool widget which actually isn't that accurate but present similar graphs like the Windows Task Manager.
