This is personal preference. You have to try them on your own. Speedmod is battery friendly but very close to stock. With siyah you can tweak everything on your own.

i don't wanna complain with ics timing :)

i will wait (not patiently... because i'm using an ICS rom already) that CRR7 is ready to amaze us...

but i wanna ask people here if everybody thinks that jkay is so strictly necessary on our phones or if we are ready to flash a rom and then wait that it is ready :)

i'm not asking the checkrom team to release crr7 now, just asking what you user think :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] F3nr1s:
For me i dont imagine my phone without jkay mod if v7out without jkay mod i will wait jkay before flashing V7
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jim-bo:
What I can tell you is that if the CRR team did release V7 without JKay, there would be few / no themes made for it, since most themers are also waiting on JKay so that they don't need to do all their work twice, and you would have something like 6-8 posts per page in this thread moaning about the lack of themes, the lack of lockscreens, the lack of x,y,z config option (from JKay), etc.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
well i'm not saying jkay is not a good thing for roms. but it's to much pressure on a man.. and so many roms waiting. for this. and themers... yes, his mods make it easier for the devs and users.. but i don't know.. waiting so long for this.. it's really up to each person.. the devs made up their minds (and no one blams them, the rom is great and they want quality) , so it's up to us to wait or move on and come back.. :)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] maranello69:
after flashing an ICS release from my carrier i was very dissapointed with my new rom, so i quickly reverted back to CR6 nandroid backup

when i was done restoring i noticed that my modem had remain unchanged from the ICS rom, BULP6, and i also noticed that my phone is working much better: no more scroll lag in app drawer / menus, no more waiting time when entering an app and the overall feel is much smoother

needlees to say, i'm very happy with thye new change, but i'm also intrigued as of why is this happening, could just the modem change impact my phone in such way?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
the bootloader could have also changed when you flashed a carrier version.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MystKid:
Anyone got an answer to what i asked in the previous page

[Galaxy S II Android Development] alcurtis93:
No modem can't make that difference. It must be a fluke. Boot loader also wouldn't effect this.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
This would have no effect on the performance of the phone. It certainly would not be the reason his phone is performing better.

Wait, there is an android 4?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gitan_reel:
I downloaded and installed the ROM ,. fast and smooth , removed for no Arabic support .

didn't look for a solution , as it was after midnight , just wanted to get my phone ready for the next day..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
well lots of people reported problems with various kernels on ics with the old bootloader and only the modem can't be the reason.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Dude do u know what a bootloader is? Its a low level code that runs before the operating system starts.

It has nothing to do with the performance of the phone afterwards.

Here....educate yourself...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] p4nts:
Who knows - but can people please stop asking.

As far as I understand it all the established devs are waiting for ICS' issues to be resolved before spending their time

on it. At least that's what you will see if you scroll back a couple of pages through the various threads and read their posts.

Don't like it, go elsewhere or else make your own ;-)

http://www.twitter.com/@CheckROM "Don't keep asking for ICS remember GB in its early day's that's what ICS

Expect something to drop when our friend Jkay brings his magic."
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
Yes I know what a boot loader is and I just said that it could also have been updated when he flashed a carrier ics build. Nothing more so calm down. And when the kernel or rom isn't loaded correctly by the bootloader there could be an impact on performance. This normally doesn't happen on stock bootloaders but I had it on custom ones before.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maranello69:
nop, i had to re-flash the old bootloader to be able to use the usb jig

don't really know what happened, but I'm very happy with my "new" phone :)

i did however made a factory reset, wipe cache / dalvik before restoring the backup, maybe i had to much junk in there...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Correct me of I'm wrong, these ate stock bootloaders and unchanged by devs from official release.

I have cooked a couple of personal roms recently for my tab, from source, and never modded any bootloader. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
Yes they're stock. Was just an example that a bootloader can have influence on performance if it doesn't work correct. Was like that on the android bootloaders for the hd2 if you did something wrong.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sves:
Spent a nearly a month testing different ICS ROMs. This was a month with poor battery life, bugs, etc. Now I am flashing CheckROM 6.0, Phenomenal 4.0 medium and will wait for SGS3.

ICS for SGS2 seems to be non-relevant, when stable ROMs and good kernels are out I will use another phone already. So I am tired to be beta tester.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Elvispen:
Just testing hydrog3en 14.04 ics. Seems to be ALOT better and smoother than the official LPQ.

Only thing I'm missing is the stock camera and stock alarm (with smart alarm).

Really looking forward for CR7 and have an ICS with a good OTA (Kitchen). If it will be near as smooth as the above.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GregX80:
I did the same about a week ago. I'm a very happy galaxy s2 owner right now. I was using almost all official ICS and few custom. They are all the same with a lot of bugs. This checkRom it is the best Rom what I've ever had. I use it with phenomenal 4 extreme and I getting about 5,5 - 6 hours screen on. Another one good new is that I have no yellow triangle during booting. I don't know whether is it something about with triangle away app from ICS?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
hmm.. i also tried ICS roms. and found them to be quite good.. i'm on Hydrogen.. and battery wise it's ok.. with neak.. i get 2 days with 4h screen time.. it's not the 3 days and 6 days on Gb but it's ok

the scrolling is ok, you get used tot it.. and level of tweaks are great..

but can't wait.. for v7
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
True Story =)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GregX80:
Yes 2 days but you use 2000mAh battery isn't it? :-) I was happy when I had 1,5 day. I decided to switch to ICS only with new checkrom v7.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
well yeah... al my data is with the 2000mah battery.. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arbitarytwist:
Anyone know how to change the default screen to the middle screen (Say screen 3 when i have 5 screens). The default.prop mod doesn't work, as there is no default.prop file.

I am hoping to find a fix, and not looking for an alternative launcher.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
In the settings of the launcher if your using the included apex or nova.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GregX80:
Apex and nova work with GB? I thought they work with ICS only.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
oh sorry. Thought I clicked on foxhound thread, yes they're only for ics. I think it's not possible on touchwiz launcher.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:

I am not even that fussed about ICS for the SGSII now as when the SGS3 is released ill be selling my phone anyway, although im sure when CheckRom ICS is eventually released it will be up there with the best of them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arbitarytwist:
From where ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nEUTRon666:
I guess i now read about 100 posts about ICS, why checkrom is so cool and so on...first of all, there are a lot of ICS Rom's out which run perfect, and even there's NO problem with battery life at all, i get the same cool battery stats with some ICS ROM's as i get them with this one here...i really love CheckROM but ICS is so much better in different terms, only thinking about device security, vpn's and stuff and that's important, i also use android devices in my company.

Oh well, and i know no one in this thread want's to read this again and again, but i will switch back to CheckROM only if a ICS Version is out and i can't understand why the checkrom guys wait for JKay, it's a damn nice addition, but not even needed under ICS...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
#search function#
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Joey2o11:
Agreed it's completely ridiculous that they won't release the ICS version until Jkay is ready. Hardly 'original android development' if they're waiting for JKays tweaks...it hasn't stopped anyone else releasing their ROMs......

that's the news.. can't wait to see it. hope it isn't just a minor bump in specs like they said.. and it brings some new stuff.. design and material wise.. would be awesome with metal and a cool new design.. and the exynos chipset..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Official launch is may 3rd.

Ceramic housing , 4.8 HD screen, exynos quad core etc etc

Doubt we'll see a checkrom ics on S2 when S3 launch is only 2 weeks away. Just my 2c ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mdrmusic:
i dropped checkrom maybe 2 weeks ago, now on wanamlite v10.7 (ics 4.0.3). In my experience it's better than checkrom, and i've been waiting (like many) to move to ics. checkrom sort of taking time, and i wasn't sure why i should keep waiting anymore. it's been interesting that i'm not even missing jaykay coz of wanamlite's customizability (is that even a word or did i just make that up?). apex and nova rock. at first i was nervous to leave the comfort of familiar and reliable checkrom, but now that i've moved to ics there's just no advantage to move back to checkrom now.. but i wanted to say THANK YOU CHECKROM for the months of enjoyment you gave me on v4 and the few weeks i spent on v6 recently. alas our love affair is over and now i bam wanam. i suggest anyone lookin for stable ics with no bugs (for me at least) and batt life no worse than checkrom, you should search wanamlite too. i'll keep my eye on this thread for an ics but i'll be surprised how it could be any better than wanam already is.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] loth77:
yeah, i'm using another ics rom and i don't miss anything

i can't understand why they are waiting so much for jkay, but i don't complain.

i don't think it is so important at this point of "evolution"

or maybe because i never really needed most of the mods of jkay.

so you think wanam is the best?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cytherean:
I keep reading different reports, some say it will be the bomb and 1 up the soon to be announced iphone 5 and then some other reports say they are planning on it being like the iphone 4s was to the iphone 4...just a minor update. I hope you are right with the 4.8 display and the quad core (not that i even use the dual core on the SGS2) but what the hell I`ll take it!

Same problem as some other people have been having with the last_log saying that it cannot locate the files(even though I've already downloaded them and installed them before, so I know they are not corrupt). Only solution at this point seems to be formatting my SDCARD which I already did, but I'd really appreciate another solution if someone has one?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] barbs666:
Not sure why they are waiting, but I can assume that if you were in their position and doing this in your spare time (i assume) then why bust your balls everyday for people and their impatience!

They brought a masterpeice to the table. And here it sits so be happy. Really, what more can you get out of a phone? Really, different colours? some slight functionality improvments ..... not leaps and bounds ahead IMHO.

When they release i am sure it will be awesome, just like the other ICS Roms you mention.

I guess what your really trying to say is you would like more info about releases by Checkrom??

My 2 cents.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Highly disagree.

The latest ICS ROMs are far ahead of any GB ROM as UI improvements go. Yes, take a bit to get used to the scrolling, but much much snappier. Battery life is nearly on par and mods and tweaks are coming along.

Picked up the HTC One X (yes, quad core) in the shop for a play just 30 mins ago. WOW. The Sense UI was definitely leaps and bounds ahead of the ICS SGS2, just like the SGS2 is leaps and bounds ahead of GB.

Hopefully got some spare cash for SGS3 in a few months. Start saving the Pennies. ;)

Never going back.:cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
Who said we have catching up to do mate.

We have all our source and mods and other tweaks done and under stress test...

We are just waiting for Jkay.. Coz ui is important on ICS without him we are sitting ducks..

And with the standards me and Gc have pulled this rom up to, we refuse to give you any thing other than a masterpiece.

Well with may SGS3 being released you can expect a rom there too.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adz63:
Glad to hear u will be doing a rom for the s3 when it arrives. I will be getting one if it's a major improvement but will be sticking with my s2 if it's minor like the ipoo 4s update was.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] andrei_me:
why?

ICS is giving me more headaches than GB... still has a way to go to compera with the stability of checkrom..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pnjbibomb:
Try dynamic 1.2 or d4 ics roms..been using both and working pretty good
[Galaxy S II Android Development] flemmingski:
Been trying ICS also - TurkBey latest. Rather good in my optics.

But as you say - not flawless. Nothing is anyway.

It would be rather nice with an ICS CheckRom v7, but as earlier said. The UI in ICS is almost as good/varied as JKAY.

So my advice would be - try it out. There's a lot of different versions out there. One just might be Your fancy.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Not much point staying on a "pretty good" ICS rom when you can stay on an excellent CheckROM.

And by the way, I've tried D4 and Hydrog3en. Some brilliant features in both but both lack the smoothness, stability and battery friendliness of CheckROM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Daemos:
I really hope that V7 ICS comes out sooner than later.

I've moved on to ICS roms, I've tried a few, some I liked some I didn't (just like GB roms) but all the ICS roms have been faster, the one I'm on now is faster, smoother, more stable and gets better battery life than I ever did with any GB rom.

Although I do use different kernels and set cpu for tweaks and stuff.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maranello69:
tru dat!, very hard to move to any ICS rom for me, i guess i'll just wait to get me a new S3 and that's that, no more ics for my s2, cr6 is great and with the current setup (+ ics modem) i really don't need an update

don't know yet, will see...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hondilla:
You'r right. What ICS Modem you mean?. :o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maranello69:
i had a weird issue, posted some pages ago, after flashing an ICS rom released by my carrier, when i restored back to cr6 the modem remained unchanged from the ICS rom

since them my phone seems to have a new life, no more scrolling lag, no more lag when opening an app, i'm quite sure that this isn't mrelated to the modem, but i kinda like to joke about it :D, i guess it has something to do with the cleaning of the cache / dalvik and factory reset before restoring the nandroid backup
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Just have a question for Leo and GC: what will be the base of V7 will it be the latest release?

XWLP7?

Thanks for your reply and yes... i'm currently STILL on V6 Gingerbread because until this date i haven't found a single rom that is so stable and reliable as Checkrom V6!

Keep up the good work guys!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Wrong. Wanamlite lp8 is the best ics rom I've tried yet, and I've tried 7 or 8 ics roms. Its definitely as good if not better than checkrom v6. I even got just short of 6 hours screen time with 24 hours up time on this. GB is old and now is falling further into the distant past.

I think it is wrong not to release a new version, just because you are waiting for the theme of jkay, released a stock samsung version and then when jkay releases its theme we will install it later. 2 months have passed from v6 :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cytherean:
We all have our own opinions on this but in the end when Leo and GC finally release CR7 we know that we are going to get a great quality product. The decision is up to them and we will all come flooding back to take it for a spin.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Stephen88:
I think that a theme doesn't change the stability and quality of the rom, even without the issue of jkay, the rom is still the same nothing changes in terms of stability.

however I'm hope to see soon the new version that hopefully will give J a move.
