Why would you root the SII right now though? There's no dev community whatsoever, the ROMs that are available suck*, there's LOS issues with both the ROMs and kernels, and there aren't even any interesting hacks available (unless disabling the camera shutter is important to you). I know these things take time, so I'm giving the phone about another month to come through with some legitimate development or I'm selling it and switching back to an HTC device. I love this phone, it's the balls, but I also love fucking around with devices, and this one appears to be an "it just works" smartphone, which is awesome, but not what I'm looking for. I had a new ROM on my Incredible every week, sometimes switching around throughout the day, new themes constantly, etc., and I miss that. The one thing that gives me pause is the wretched battery life of HTC phones. I do not miss carrying my charger around at all times with my Incredible, and getting 12-16 hours on a single charge with heavy use is just awesome.
*Once there's a system dump and everything is available to the devs, I'm hoping this will change.
