Fluxi Kernel can do that for the S2.

Battery life is definitely better on ICS. OS gets optimized & upgraded & only after intense testing are they released. Since Android is a mobile OS I'm pretty sure Google knows that they will have to make it as battery friendly as possible so they will never release an OS that worse on battery than the one before it. Before blaming the OS I would like to know for how long have you been using the battery? Batteries as you know looses it's ability to retain charge over time due to the constant charging & discharging cycles & also on the way you use the phone. Also you can't compare battery life between two discharge cycles even if their on consecutive because they are a whole lot of internal & external factors to consider that aren't the same & the results will always be different even if not by much let alone compare two versions of the same OS.

For you the above point as well as the blame for Stock ROM's needs to be placed on Samsung because of all the customization & modifications they do to it.

You mean unless Samsung does something dumb (read "MMC_CAP_ERASE")

All companies want to make a profit & Samsung isn't any different but there is a major difference between greed (read "Crapple") & acceptable profits that Samsung make. There is value in quality & brand name that gets attached to a Samsung product so it maybe a little expense than products in its similar range but that's the price you have to pay. You also need to keep in mind that these are electronic products that rent manufactured local & they have to be imported which adds a whole lot of cost & then there is customs duty, sales tax & multiple other taxes combined with a very high dollar rupee exchange rate & inflation & you land up at the prices where they are today.

Same as above. Also it a 5.5 inch screen. What did you expect it to retail for? cost price?

You always have a choice & that is to buy the same product form another manufacturer. There are hundreds of options available & yet you choose to buy a Samsung product because your assured that it will be a good product with good customer support (even though you have to threaten them with law suits & run to different SC to get a second & hopefully favourable opinion they still provide better customer support than any other manufacturer in India).

RAM leak, HWComposer not running at a 100%

are the usual standard bugs that are still present & will be there till we either get a JB leak or a miracle form Codeworkx & Xplodwild.

Terminal never start up automatically unless you open it. It's an app on the Play store & it isn't sypware or anything else. Also the "$" indicates that it doesn't have root permission yet. Type su & hit the enter key & then it turn to "#" which means that terminal now has su permissions.

Clear data on mediaserver, reboot & let the media scanner run for a while, it will eventually scan everything & stop on its own. Don't disable the scanner or you won't get your pics.

If I'm not mistaken that wakelock is caused due to weak 3g or 2g signal & 13 minutes isn't that much but if it is then try changing your modem or keep your phone in a place with good signal strength.
