I don't know if a bootloader would corrupt during a custom ROM Flashing in Samsung...

AFAIK, it gets corrupted if you pull out battery while flashing an Hboot file... updating it's FIRMWARES..

Custom ROM files writes partitions which can be reformatted if your bootloader is alive...

It's like you are installing windows and suddenly light goes off so you just format HDD and reinstall...
Bootloader is like Bios of phone.. just like if your PC turns off during a bios flash, then it's mobo is completely dead, same can happen with phone..

Flashing Official Roms via RUU can corrupt bootloaders if stopped in middle as they mostly contain firmware packages aswell...

No custom ROM messes with the bootloader, obviously the only way you can corrupt is when flashing another bootloader.
RUU stuff is on HTC, not here.The only reason why one would need a custom bootloader on a SGSII is when he is flashing CM9 (I use the double flash method instead)

I think that's clear enough.
On the statement given by GrunT, JJDoctor, Abobobilly and FanDroid, the larger bench declares that Jayzzy got ripped.
Case closed.
NEXT!

Silent time light : great app, it will automatically put your phone on silent then back to normal on your prescribed timings. That way no need to put your phone to silent and then back to normal every time you attend a class etc..

[h=1]GUYS TRY SPB Shell 3D its AWSOME :D[/h]https://market.android.com/developer?pub=SPB+Software

Its a whole new level of Awesomeness. Most Amazing this in this launcher was its Unbeatable Smoothness, which on Gingerbread ROMS is a Gift. It felt like Hardware Accelerated on a ROM which in itself was laggy as hell (Gingerbread).

THE BEST part of this ROM is ... the 3D SMS Widget. I LOVED that one, its Smoothness, its Performance.

BUT

It was a memory hogger. It was hindering the Gaming Performance for me here & there.
Although it was a perfect launcher overall.

I hope things are much improved now because i havent tried the latest version.

I no like shell 3d, customization features are very less in it.

Well, yes they are quite less.

But the performance and smoothness element is there. Or more simply, 3D Animations.

Other than that, its not 3D like Sense or Feature Filled like Go Launcher.

What problems are you facing?

It works just fine.

The only trouble some people have is to Switch between SPB & Default Launcher. Sometimes, its easily where you can simply "Clear Defaults" of the Default Launcher & sometimes its a bit complex (hassle) where you have to use the Application from Android Market called Home Switcher. It depends on the phone.

Alright. Need an app for a certain something.

I have inbound and outbound calls on my phone where some codes are spoken. Mostly digits.

Product/Account codes that are automated when I receive calls and unless I'm really quick with writing them down I miss out and I have to fill in forms for another call :S

I need an app that records incoming AND outgoing calls with clear voice.

Most apps Ive seen say they require the speaker to be on? That's I can't do in an office environment, would be too noisy.

Suggestions please?

^ No PROPER Call Recording option for Android Gingerbread & ICS devices.
It was made possible on Froyo roms but after that, there was no application which would record calls in Clear audible volume.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
