So Samsung published a Official ICS Rom!

Now lets take our sweet time to craft it into a masterpiece LOL!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
would be very interested to find out what mods are going to be added in the new kitchen once you guys release the new version..

for now i will stay with v6..although i am really tempted to flash official version i will get my cravings by restoring my cm9 backup:p

EDIT: nice to see you got your RD status again mate;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Psilocin:
Unreal. They post this news after I go to bed. So excited now.

Going with how Checkrom has always been, TW will be included by default for those who still want to use it or prefer having a backup if their default launcher gets messed up after an update (happens quite often with GoLauncher). But, you can always install your own launcher and use an app like titanium backup to delete TW on your own. I have been hearing amazing things about the Apex Launcher, so I'm hoping gadgetcheck bundles it into the rom itself.

And props to Vertumus for already releasing his ICS Domination theme pack ahead of the launch.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
As Stifler69 said previously, .tar is what u need for Odin. .zip files are for cwm. Good luck ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Psilocin:
Don't see why you need odin when all the major devs support CWM and release zip files for easy flashing. Waste of money imo.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killa_byte:
I'm coming from villainrom 2.0, this was already installed when I bought my s2 second hand, I am now thinking of flashing this rom because my phone keeps on "scanning media" a lot frequently and I also get sd card is corrupt messages, but I can play music from my sd!? :confused:

I have a day off work 2moro so I plan to flash, just in case something goes wrong I have a day to fix it lol :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Nos_20:
Cant wait for the magic to happen...! :D:D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
U think so? Well I mainly downloaded it to support Chainfire, probably the most respected dev here on xda, without whom we would be lost. He's a always on the money with cf root kernels as soin as new roms are out.

Also, if you've ever had problems flashing cwm zips like I've had in the past you would never flash them again. Zip files could potentially contain anything... and u flash that to ur phone. Think about that for a second.....

I prefer to extract the zip file or just download the tar. Its much safer. ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xboxfan:
4.0.3 is out officialy :) -> http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=12233
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
well done
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rajarshi10:
Checkrom V7 coming out with ICS & pure Google experience minus crapwiz with apps. Yo mama!!! Cant wait for it baby.... C'mon Checkrom makers! :D :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xboxfan:
well donne :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
boy why you calling my mama into this:D and sorry to disappoint i am pretty sure the next release of checkrom will include touchwiz..if you really hate the launcher that bad then i suggest flashing a different one something like apex launcher over it..and be patient.;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robbiekhan:
Furiously waiting for v7, v6 is excellent but I had a little break with AOKP recently and miss CheckROM :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kylobayd:
whoa cant wait till you updated the rom to ics <3

any idea when itll be done? ;p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adz63:
Sometime before 2013 :D

CheckRom V7!! Can't wait!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
Muahh rember here check rom we offer options base rob will always and obviouly b having crapwiz bit then we wil provide suff in the kitchen to remove modify what now!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mosd:
leo without stressing you or anything like that, but plzzz hurry, sammy havent done **** with this ics rom, even scrolling in apps has gone worse! Thanks bro!

I will definitely wait for the CheckROM version of ICS.

Slightly off topic, but seeing as Gingerbread was my first taste of Android, can we expect difficulties restoring applications with Titanium Backup between GB and ICS?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
nope because TB has already been updated to ICS versions so you can restore your apps with ease
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SCHMANKii:
Are you sure about that?

I don't know if this problem is solved with the newest version of TB, but in older ones, when I tried to restore apps + data on CM9, it didn't work. Restoring apps only went fine always.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] -iNSiGhT-:
Yes, this TB problem only concerns CM9 and CM9 based ROMs...

There's no problem with Stock and Custom (based on Stock) ROMs.;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
People are going mad here about CheckROM v7 xD I must say I would like it a lot, but I do realise it will take some time to create a good, stable and fast ICS rom. CheckROM (as far as I knkw since a month or so of using) releases "fully" awesome-filled roms, not half functional roms.

Anyway, I wish the devs good luck with ICS! We are all waiting full of excitement ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Sofos_:
Did anyone managed to have both Os GB and ICS on the same device btw? I heard that it's possible, corrwct me if i am wrong.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hughfollett:
Your thread about kernel tweaks is really useful!! I'm going to study it;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tapoutt:
I`d love to see CheckROM with ICS without TW but with Nova launcher. Or maybe add both launchers and let user chose. :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SCHMANKii:
Really only CM9 roms? Ok. ;)

Thought it was because of ICS and not CM9 itself.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] -iNSiGhT-:
I think Leomar and GC work on ICS leak since few days/weeks...

They'll cook us a good ICS CheckROM in a couple of days... (...i hope... i don't want to flash the stock XXLPQ, but it's hard to resist to ICS... :D )
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tvhak:
does someone know when we will be able to overclock with ics.

was it with release of official rom or do we have to wait for someting else
[Galaxy S II Android Development] al_madd:
If I not mistaken TW is UI not launcher right???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] harise100:
... when the kernel sources are out. You need a custom kernel to OC.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
I'd beg to differ here. Since ICS is a completely new base, restoring data from apps backed up on GB could cause problems. I would restore "apps only". Speaking from past experiences on this ;)

It is Samsung launcher.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
could not have said it any better. like yourself i rather wait for the devs to take their time instead of rushing a new version out...it is not their style to rush anyway..we want a masterpiece

It is possible yes. if you are talking about dual booting then GM is working on a kernel as we are speaking. if you are talking about a backup then again i have that. i am using cm9 and have checkrom v6 as my backup and i switch between the two

thanks mate. hope you find it useful:)

probably you will see it as stock ICS but without the bloatware. but touchwiz will remain and more than likely you will get different launchers in the kitchen as an option for yourself to modify the way you want which i think is a good idea
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
sorry my bad mate you are right. you can still restore the apps with out any problem but only as "apps only" as you stated. Thanks for the clarification mate:)

Touchwiz is actually both UI and launcher. Hence why in a theme you have touchwiz-framework.apk and framework.apk something like that..it is both framework which is UI and launcher
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AllSeeyinEye:
This is where you're making a mistake.

TouchWiz is the UI Samsung created and not only poured over GB and now ICS, but also has fully integrated into the firmware.

The Samsung launcher is called TouchWiz Launcher. If that was the complete TouchWiz package, then all would be fine, because there are plenty launcher replacements (i.e. GoLauncher, 360 Launcher, Nova Launcher etc).

The only ROM's that are completely TouchWiz-free, are MIUI and CM based builds.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Really? I thought it was just the launcher. Hmmm...u learn something new everyday I guess.

Cheers for that.;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sckank:
I certanly hope so. Many of the more advanced users here really want that pure ics experience, not the bloated one. I amonst many have installed the latest ICS from Samsung and I think its really good. But I used titanium backup to freeze, well, about 40-50 apps.

What do you think about the scrolling so many have complained about. It is better, dont you think?

A friend of mine have the latest nokia, and another have 4S, and the scrolling there is quite lag of stutter-free. Not quite what we have, but now that now why we have our android phone in the first place is it?

Edit: oh almost forgot: I havent used Adw Ex for quite a while because it lagged so much before. Now its much better indeed :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
i have not flashed the latest ICS version. as tempted as it was to do it i hold off. why you asking..from reading all the complaints i thought it was not worth the while. i will repeat this. i currently have cm9 latest version on my phone and it is a godsend and a pure proper ICS experience. For me once it is stable it is the only thing running on my phone..plus when Gokhanmoral gets the dual booting working then Checkrom ICs and cm9 or slim ics will be on my phone and nothing else. scrolling on cm9 my word it is like checkrom v6 standard but double that.:) hope that answers your question mate..and as a launcher that i use on cm9 i use Apex launcher and the scrolling is smooth..for checkrom v6 i use Go launcher and again scrolling and touch is amazing
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I do love cm9 and so far im waiting for a stable release.. less bugs lol

Any i do think that ics should have been like cm9 (the looks..) and tw sucks on it..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sckank:
Well I do not regret installing ICS, I must say I really like it :)

Try scrolling with tapatalk with lots of pic's ... it really studders. :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Touchwiz does suck and yes i was put off by stock sammy ics roms when first screenshots were revealed when the first ever leak came out...Basically it is same as GB with few modifications under the hood. Hence why i love cm9.

lol nah you are alright mate i shall stick wit v6 and cm9 for now...but the beautiful thing about having the kitchen is that you can modify the rom the way you want hence why it is a winner in my eyes
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ITRC:
Do I read correct... DUAL BOOT by Gokhanmoral. That would be awesome!

:D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
Sorry to disappoint you but this won't work. It'll only be possible between different ics builds but not ics and gb. There is no kernel that supports both and gm said that flashing the corresponding kernel all the time is no good solution. You can read it also on his Blog.

So no it won't be possible to dualboot one ics and one gb Rom...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
and sorry to disappoint you but once v7 comes about i will be dual booting between cm9 and v7...no point going back to GB when ICS is the future. i was just talking about now my friend i go back and forth from my backups...couple of days cm9 and then i just restore back to my GB if i need to do things that cm9 can not provide for me ie video recording and such;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adz63:
Some apps are not optimized for ics yet. So some wont install til they are updated by the app dev

Communicating from SGS2 using BlueTapatalk coz the XDA app is ****. REALLY ****
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cruzargel:
yeah, Imma hold to GB until CheckROM releases their ICS version I've tried ICS before and yeah, it still feels like GB.

I've tried flashing Wanamlite from CheckROM V6 without wiping, everything works except for data. You might want to try that to see if any apps would be missing. When I did that, few apps disappeared, like NBA TV. But my phone is completely stable. At first boot, you will see "optimizing apps" if you upgraded from GB to ICS without wipe.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] miketwn:
that's what i did too. However, I mistakenly deleted the checkrom v6 backup. What should I do now.....:confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
well if you are using checkrom now just back it up again and try not to delete the backup this time;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Redsoldier:
Could some one please clarify some thing. I've just read that restoring data from titanium backup is not a good idea on ICS does this mean when I finally upgrade I'll lose all app data? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
I've not had a single issue restoring back app data to ICS as long as you don't restore system data it'll be fine, the only issue you may come across is an app not compatible with ICS. I've restored back a few times whilst trying out ICS.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] miketwn:
the problem is i am on CM9 now...I do have gb 2.3.4 samsung rom backup. Do you see any problem restoring this old firmware. Then I can go ahead and reflash checkrom v6 (in preparation for v7). Is that kosher?:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
well if you have a backup of an old rom then go ahead and restore that and just flash checkrom again and make sure you do the right procedure in full wipe and updating the kitchen through the market. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shr33kant:
Just for reference here..I've only ever flashed roms, be it ICS or GB via cwm...never had issue going between either one. I've always done a full backup on TiBu and full wipe (data, cache, dalvik, system), then restore user apps only. Only restore system if you're going back to the ROM you have the system backup of. Simples :-3

Sent from inside a black hole.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
Just to add to what some have already have said patience is the key word here, the sheep who are constantly on about ICS will no doubt rush in and flash it, fine if your on stock ROM but ill certainly be happy to wait until GC and Leo build a stable ICS ROM where everything works 100%.

Also to reiterate if you are restoring apps from Titanium be sure and just select apps only and not data as this will very likely cause force close issues.

Whenever the CheckRom ICS ROM is ready id also recommend everyone do a full wipe to avoid any FC issues.

Look forward to it and im sure the lads are in the process of working on it

Remember....................Patience children ;):)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] beston94:
If anyone can build a perfect ICS rom, then its the CheckRom team!!

Am I right?!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] killa_byte:
going to flash CheckROM v6 in around 2 hours, going to use the stock kernel, but if i want to chnage the kernel in the future would i need to back everything up?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] safepacket:
Kernel flash does not wipe any data. But you can still make a nand backup just in case you stuck with bootloop.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hughfollett:
Make a backup to be sure... than i suggest to flash neak 1.4.1 after wiping cache and dalvik cache and after flashing the kernel cleaning script...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omegajester:
I just flashed kernel void.echo on this Rom. I had forgotten just how awesome and battery friendly this kernel was. They work pretty good together!

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III leaked prototype
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ITRC:
Many good advices already :-) but about your question: at the point you achieve a good set-up, make a back-up. Afterwards you can test what you want and always go back to your previous set-up;-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Psilocin:
If they get dual boot working, then that would be godsend. But yeah, as others have mentioned, you can always backup the entire rom and restore to switch between the two. Slow, but it's a working solution.

*facepalm*

This is why you need to backup your backup as well as all the app files on hard drive to your computer. If you ever get in the same situation again, you can redownload it through usb.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bobby21:
hehe lmfao ^^
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
Indeed you are my friend and that is why i am in no rush to flash any other ICS;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] BenEadir:
Hi,

I'm just about to flash NEAK via Odin Mobile and have one question. should I opt for the "Wipe Data and Cache" option or not? The option has a warning that it "May wipe SD card on some devices" which is a little concerning.

I know I can boot into recovery to wipe cache and dalvik cache but I'd like to use the Mobile Odin option if that was the correct thing to do.

Help???

[Galaxy S II Android Development] rauschkugl:
I know but that guy asked if it will be possible to have both gb and ics on the phone. That's what he wanted to know and it is not possible.

I said before that it's no problem with two ics Roms but he wanted gb and ics.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BenEadir:
Hi Stifler,

I just flashed the NEAK kernel and set up the NEAK configurator with the options you suggested above i.e. Conservative Governor + Lionheart Tweaks + the misc options excluding EXT boost so I should be good to go.

My question (this time) is what if any additional benefit would/should I get by following the "MagicConfig" voltage and CPU tweaks as outlined here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466017?

Cheers for sharing your experience with me.

Ben
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Hello mate yes i am a liverpool supporter. Anyway. Just have a look on Gekos thread and it is pretty much self explanatory. If you do not want to mess with voltages just leave them stock and enable the governor and scheduler and lionheart tweaks and you are good to go mate
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BenEadir:
Flashed CR V6, flashed NEAK and Liverpool beat Everton 3-0 with a hat trick from Stevie G - pretty much a perfect evening ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] killa_byte:
was ur internal 16gb storage wiped clean?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rzat:
If you want to wipe internal storage go to storage options and format USB storage although its not really necessary when flashing new ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
Hey Ben..leave voltage settings alone for now and let ur new rom settle. Get used to stock settings and get to know ur phones performance and battery life for a little while. Playing with voltages will gain you very little in terms of battery life but could potentially do some harm and cause instability.

With "root explorer" , remove any apps you don't use from /system/app. .the ones that cause the most drain/wakelocks are usually Skype, maps, gtalk email app etc. If u use any of them fine but otherwise I'd get rid.

For the next few charges, charge to 100% + about 15 mins, power off, remove battery for 90s and reboot then. From my experiences, it takes about a week to see the true battery life of any new rom.

Ok....now that I've flashed stock ICS (LPQ,) I can't wait for Checkrom ICS. Bring it !!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] networkn:
I am running 5.8 of google maps because newer versions cause wakelocks and drain the battery so fast. Can someone tell me how I stop it asking to update all the time?

However, I know for a fact there is a thread for Apex Launcher.

Installed official LPQ on my dad's Orange branded phone tonight, as expected...

ICS's voice recognition is realtime and is very very good. I also like the fact that Samsung have implemented their more than one item clipboard so you can store many things in there but have also kept the new text input bits from pure ICS - This is exactly what I was hoping for, brilliant!

They've also implemented vibration intensity settings for individual notifications and touch feedback instead of the one setting that covers all - Equally brilliant.

Roll on CheckROM
