[Galaxy S II General] emze:
i just flashed the rom. for some reason, the phone is not going past the welcome screen(Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100), neither am i able to get it into recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
heard the same in LPQ thread, reflash another time.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
that is exactly what i am doing. almost done reflashing.

EDIT: done. working(i guess).

aaaaand... it does work.
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
And this is official ICS folks! Rejoice!:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
dude, although this is the official rom, the method we are using to upgrade is not official. we are actually not supposed to be having this rom. so quit complaining. :p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
right!! as long as things are stable, ill be happy. now its my turn to flash :D

Edit:

it seems there is only one tar file to flash right?

[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
8 months ? 4.0.1 was released to AOSP mid november and 4.0.3 which we have was released mid december. It's only 4 months from release to AOSP to an official release.It's a huge improvement over what they did with SGS and GB upgrade. It took almost a year between release of GB to AOSP and SGS getting it.

It's not just settings, ICS has lot of internal changes, e.g

- New Social API's for devs

- 2D Hw acceleration support

- Merging of GB and HC into one OS for all form factors from smartphones to tabs

Firmware naming seems a bit off, usually Samsung's Gold firmwares follow Year/Month/Build format, this should be named LCx instead of LPQ. LPQ sounds like

it's still a build of the dev/test branch.

[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
So what i;m getting here after reading is this is not flashable for people already using CM9 or LPB-PH ... but for a guy like me who has not used a ICS ROM till date t's worth a shot more so now that CF Root is out ...... i guess i'll download when i get home from work ..... but still keep an eye for more reviews AFAIK ithehappy has not posted his review neither is there a decent thread for the same i guess ICS will take time to evolve to the NEXUS level ...... i guess people have already started bashing SAMMY ...... for a pre-mature release :D ...... typical SAMMY :p

Guys I'm on CheckROM V6. If I was to flash LPQ without wipe what all I need to take care of?

1. Take nandroid backup

2. Flash via the .tar file via mobile ODIN.

This way it will preserve the root and all the data automatically, right?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Yes...It will. Be sure to wipe cache ... I had FCs on GApps with No Wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ virtualsk

havent found any flaw in the release, good so far, any bug you noticed?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
No bugs here as well...but not convinced with this update dude ! Not sure, if its just me or there are lot of ppl like me. Do you think, fonts are little bigger then normal ?

Also , I did not get why Samsung reverted back the new TW Transition?

This is the best Major OS update for normal users ...they will be happy with it. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Yeah exactly My scenario :D swithed to CheckROM RevoHD v6 a week back was still getting used to it :p ...... am in office right now i can't download will have to wait till 11 till i get home :(

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
fonts looks same for me. new tw would have been developed by someother samsung devs and not yet been added in the release, we will see it surely in future.

Once we see a better UI our mind wont accept anything inferior to it :D human nature..

was expecting 4.0.4 for release heard that it solves aos bug. but its k, lets wait for the source and our kernel devs will resolve it.

Hi Bala

I am on XWKL1 stock GB rooted with chainfire kernel.

What precautions/steps should I take before I flash this LPQ?

Which is better - odin or mobile odin?

Sent from my Galaxy Tab using TT
[Galaxy S II General] nageshv24:
I think you have enabled the Auto Brightness option. Disable it and try.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
this seems to be a non wipe rom mate, so all you have to do is flash it straight away. i did took a TB backup before installing as this is a non wipe all my apps and settings stayed.

id suggest you to make a clean install as you are moving from GB to ICS.

if you have access to pc use odin or else use mobile odin, both are good.

i did a little reading on metering. you have 3 types on the S2. Matrix(multi zone)/Spot/Center-weighted. Spot just looks at one single area defined by user tiny spot. this is good if you want to focus on a face with backlight. center weighted has to do with the focus center but the area covered is larger than spot. the Matrix, takes into consideration the whole view area.

i have no idea what i said above. i hope it made sense to ya'll

I guess i am the only soul who is happy with this release (XXLPQ) Everyone seems to be pissed off .

I still dont get what people expected from Sammy??

Beta itself showed Touchwiz will be same and now all of a sudden ppl complain abt Sammy's UI

My Observation:

Didnt face any FC till now.

Transitions and scrolling is so smooth (with kernel src and Siyah in action we can expect the best user experience)

BTW the Touch is way better than LPH ( i can even compare it to GB)

As far as internal modules are concerned Major change can be felt everywhere.

Browser is Rock Solid stable

Lock Screen in Okish

The usual Lag in TW is there but the rest of internal changes(Android 4.0) are fine

BTW why is everyone complaining abt 'Developer Options' . Why are many concerned abt its presence in Final version???

It is a damn useful option for any dev who is testing his APP in the phone.

Thanks Sammy - You did release the update in Q1 - in the Short 4 months duration this update is a great step. expecting more upgrades for our SGS2

I was on stock LPQ whole day , no fc's its smooth. But i always felt scrolling was bit laggy especially in the dialer(scroll through call logs was felt jerky).

Having used CM9 before i am not impressed with this release.

I tried Darky LPQ . Its slightly better than stock. The scrolling is bit more smoother than stock. TW has be removed and Nova is in place.

Default android browser is removed from the ROM and chrome is bundled and it does not work! . Its pretty much stock (no goodies not even a %battery mod), but deodexed and zipaligned.

After flashing XXLPQ(Hungary) I had to flash the CSC file of DDKL1 separately. The gprs was not working on LPQ's default CSC.

And is the LPQ's Modem file OK or we need to flash the Indian one?
