Root for S2 on ICS build 3?

I have just installed ICS build 3. I actually worked out a few of the force closes(Chinese Keyboard?) Storage not working, But to fix 3G connectivity, I read here on XDA about having root access and running a script with script manager.

Would have been nice if anyone could help me find out how to root this ICS build 3. (From sgs2ics) Reason for not using alpha for me is that wifi works in Build 3.) Would be astonished if it could be rooted + 3g ) Any IDEAS? :confused::confused::confused:

In ICS, there is a bug that will need you to remove the sim lock to make it work. Go to system settings, then security. Then set up Sim Card Lock. Then Uncheck Lock Sim card. Hopefully that will help for you ;) (This is also in the first post ;))
[Galaxy S II General] DiP7:
error, please delete
[Galaxy S II General] :
Problem is that one its not for galaxy s2 and second you cant understand a word cause i think its in Russian if i am correct...so no point tohave it here
[Galaxy S II General] :
the alpha builds are for people to play around with and to get a feeling of what things are going to come..not to use as a daily rom..wait for a beta instead....but anyway anyone who uses the builds use at your own risk....i think i have made it clear on first post from there on its down to the person who downloads the build
[Galaxy S II General] sebastiane:
I had an idea that you developers had the way to root it? Or even the USB driver (I seem to not being able to recognize the S2 in Windows :eek:)
[Galaxy S II General] :
whole point is for people to figure it out and have a feel and a play...i will not say anything and then i get it wrong and have people down my neck...always best to leave you guys have a play and find out for yourselfs.....that way any problems are reported back here for the team to see..simple as that...but if you have more questions leave them here and surely someone can answer them.....my knowledge is good but the rest of the guys is way miles ahead...

lets put it this way...my knowledge is equivalent to say a ford focus ST

were the dev guys are equivalent to a ferrari..

although i prefer a aston martin for my one but anyhow you get the point
[Galaxy S II General] sebastiane:
Good point.
[Galaxy S II General] Paradoxxx:
Funny way to compare us, to cars.

Like the Idea, even if I would prefer a GT-R. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Whaaaaattt!!!!! kind of of topic but hell yeah RB power! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] :
well that is what first came out of my head:D i still prefer ferrari our audi r8

well kinda have to mix it up abit buddy;) db9 instead
[Galaxy S II General] madman_cro:
so development has stoped??
[Galaxy S II General] :
nope what made you come out with that:) have you heard something that i havent? :D:D
[Galaxy S II General] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
So then how do they except to get the drivers to actually use the mic?
[Galaxy S II General] :
And i will say this again..Have you heard from anyone here saying development has finished? If you have then please point me to the source and i can update first post...From what i know so far and read nothing has changed...so until i hear or be pointed otherwise development continues
[Galaxy S II General] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
I'm a patient man.
[Galaxy S II General] :
seriously mate if you heard anything please let me know....not having a go or anything...this is the thing with this thread..its you guys who run this now not me...so if you heard something let me know and i will post it here and first post......

and im patient to..you have to be in this life..:D
[Galaxy S II General] rothariger:
does somebody try if the fm radio works?
[Galaxy S II General] Astri:
Guys, is the gradient banding issue still there on ICS?
[Galaxy S II General] kamzata:
Tv-Out is working?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Watch this video again to have your questions answered.

and regarding questions that you might not feel are not answered in the video leave them here and someone will get back to you they are not being ignored...i would love to answer to them all myself but the guys are the ones with the greater knowledge...

but one thing i will say....you guys really need to have some patience...let the beta be released first and then ask what is working and what is not...so far we have a list of what is and what is not..then we have the constant updates through twitter and youtube..the guys are keeping us uptodate as much as they can....

so be patient and let the beta come out...then let all the questions roll in...and trust me id be the first one to answer once i have time to play with it

[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Wow! Just seen the benchmarks for ICS on the SGS2 and it's amazing! Blows the Galaxy Nexus away. It's fwaptastic.

Transparancy issue fixed.

Does this mean it isn't necessary anymore to get an ICS leak from Samsung to fix the 'display problem?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Hi can you provide me the link?
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
DB9 is a fine car;)

But I'm nissan for ever:p

Atessa AWD is a proven system.

Sorry for the off topic.
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
Same here, what are you talking about? :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
LInk for those benchmark results intratech said in his previous post..
[Galaxy S II General] :
Nah do not apologize....and fair enough:D by the way

transparency has been fixed courtesy of teamhacksung....so to those who say development is over its not...when one of the devs come here and say its over then that is the time i will believe them...so anyone else says different provide me with the source and then i will verify it..till then just hold tight and wait for further news and development...no more alphas are out no more of anything else...

progress can be followed on twitter and on here...regarding people asking me stuff again no poiint in using something if its not stable...if you can fix it by all means do so and send me the rom so i can use as a daily rom....but until i am told different by the team and untill they provide me with links so people can start downloading beta build, can you all please hold on til then.....

thank you kindly to all...and again this is your thread you are the ones who run it...but i will not tolerate stupid questions when its kinda common sense...not having a dig at anyone im not that kinda person..but questions are getting repetitive and you lot are not using common sense....anyway enough said:)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Guys the link for those benchmarks is here, truly amazing results..

edit:

Link deleted. Looks like i have posted a wrong one.
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Sorry if I'm wrong but..

That screenie doesn't look like the ICS rom, looks more like CM7 with sonnys ICS theme, I could be wrong..what caught my eye is the battery %..this does not come stock, its a mod.

Again sorry if I'm wrong.

Edit- looking again I also noticed the 3g icon is not like true ics, its to far away from signal bars..
[Galaxy S II General] runebinder:
The last screen with the wallpaper and transparency looks good, amazing what they've achieved so far in such a small space of time.
[Galaxy S II General] :
off topic..watch this video to have a chuckle...i know it made me..:D

http://mashable.com/2011/11/22/samsung-lampoons-apple-mania/
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
But those links are from twitter

https://twitter.com/#!/aospsgs2

So lets hope it wont be wrong
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Notice the benchmark screenie 3g icon and notice the last ics screenie with the 3g on, totally diffrent icons.

;)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Ya , thinking of the same... may be its a screenie from different rom
[Galaxy S II General] Batskoning:
IMO :D I had a smile to..
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Its from sonnys CM7 theme, and regarding the bechmark, thats around the number I get on CM7;)
[Galaxy S II General] thayil:
Ok don't misunderstand me! Their work and what they achieved is unbelievable!!! And I am grateful about that !!! But I have to admit that I am a perfect noob in android programmation and stuff... The galaxy nexus is out, the source code is out, why this kind of port take so much time to achieve?

I can wait for a BETA ROM. But I just want to understand their difficulties.

Sorry for my english. I usually speak french.... ;)
[Galaxy S II General] mariotme:
as far as i understand the only thing is that there is no hardware drivers code from Samsung. thats what giving our guys hard time
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWkq_ZCIXhk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

This one is on ICS for sure instead, not that impressive tho ;)
[Galaxy S II General] David Horn:
You wouldn't expect any improvement in something like Antutu. The browser benchmarks are more realistic, though as we've seen it's all down to the browser itself - hence the Razr getting some insane scores.
[Galaxy S II General] YOSEFE:
Oh, I had a terrible experience with nissans.

I am Honda all the way, particularly HR-V - the best for the winter?
[Galaxy S II General] :
any suggestions regarding a poll?

and what you guys think of the thread so far
[Galaxy S II General] zorkis:
Not really, you're awesome btw! Cant wait to test it! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Pretty good I.m.o..

Don't stock sammys only get like 3000..?

Not for winter, just dry and wet.performance..

Nissan is a really underestimated company, they have built pretty sporty cars for ever basicly.;)

And pretty cheap also.
[Galaxy S II General] compuw22c:
Looks like we'll have a presentable ics beta for Thanksgiving to rub in our iRelative's faces :P not to mention Verizon customers :)
[Galaxy S II General] d3ck4rd:
I suggest we all go to Samsungs open source release centre website here and request that the source code of the drivers that we need is released. This can be done by clicking "web mail" in the top right corner.

Remember to be polite and hopefully we can at least raise the profile of wanting the source code released amongst those inside of Samsung abit.
[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
I comment on the Samsung Mobile Facebook page... they deleted my comment hahaha.

I'll do what you suggested. Maybe it will raise the profile and kick their arses in to gear. I did ask a question about Samsung earlier in the thread but it seems to have been lost...
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Not been online in 2 days folks i can see some more progress has been made eh, not long away from a beta now surely :)
[Galaxy S II General] jaapschaap:
No more like 4000-6000 depending on your version...

I get 5923 (but thats a custom and optimised android 2.3.5 rom)
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
Some bright spark has cracked the password for the closed alpha's btw
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Hope they don't ruin it for everyone else who is waiting patiently
[Galaxy S II General] :
well done to those idiots who are ruining it for the rest of us...seriously have you guys got no patience?..and what i have been saying all this time are you completely ****ing stupid....why are you going to break a code to an alpha build that is not suitable for a daily use? play with the alpha builds that are already available and wait till a beta is out..whoever ****wit is messing about is ruining it for us sensible xda members who are patiently waiting and following progress.....this kinda makes me feel why i bother sometimes and i know how devs feel with this...

either find out who has done this and get a mod to sort it out or let me get Chuck Norris and his pet monkey King Kong to go all medieval on there asses...
[Galaxy S II General] xelin0:
I dont think its worth getting annoyed about, it doesnt really matter and the devs will just change the password and make it far more difficult to brute force.

Dont really see how its "ruining" anything :P
[Galaxy S II General] :
it "ruins" things in the sense that their is no respect and privacy in someones work..i may have gone abit over the top with my last post but the matter of fact is that people are still not getting the point to what alphas are all about...its for people to see what the first installment is like...people to see what to expect from the great team that we have...not for someone to go and nick someones private stuff to have a feel because thats what they wanted to...

that is what im getting pissed off about and that is why some devs ii have seen on xda give up on projects that they have started:p

i have read posts of people calling our devs amateurs and even people saying what is the point might as well wait for sammy to drop a rom or it wont be as good as other ports this and that....all i am saying is if you do not want to wait if you do not want tobe patient and if you do not want to have a first taste of ics before anything else then move along...our boys ics will probably less bloatware and more aosp which would probably be better anyway.....anyway i had my rant made me feel alot better now time to see what else is happening...time to port some themes to my surgeon and have some fun:D

and to the guys who have been following this thread....its yours as much its mine..so feel free to use it and say whatever you like....and i want to keep it the way it is as i know and had a lot of good feedback for the way its being run...so please lets keep it this way..if someone is starting report them..no need to get in a fight or anything just report if someone is trolling and leave it to the mods toclear up stupid posts
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
The dev's could easily shut down any testing if it gets leaked and then everyone will be forced to wait for samsung to release theirs which could be a long way away.

For me I agree totally with matriak's previous post about impatient people ruining it for all of us who are willing to wait for a stable beta release.

Come on guys be patient and don't screw things up by being impatient.
[Galaxy S II General] nkolsen:
Well they could stop the info, and and just leave us out. They are being Nice to us, so lets be the same.
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
To me it can ruin things for people that wait pateintly, I know we all want to mess around with ICS but we have to be patient..
[Galaxy S II General] xelin0:
I dont know they didnt seem to care much in the irc, seemed to find it more amusing//not care, didnt even kick the guy (until after he went on abit) and just said they would make it more difficult to crack in a lighthearted manner.

I can see where your coming from though in the idea that impatient people, and illconsidered comments are ruining it. With something as desired as this though I think its to be expected.

And lets be honest the devs know how awesome they are, and a couple of comments to the contrary arnt going to effect them. they have nerves of ice cream infused steel....
[Galaxy S II General] -A-P-M-:
I dont understand people who complains here. Those devs are doin marvelous job and thanx to them we will have ICS MUCH SOONER than Samsung will offer to us. Everyone who complains about their speed, should try to make its own ICS rom.

I will rather thanx to devs for their great work
[Galaxy S II General] :
excellent posts guys....this is what its about..:) you guys make me want to cry from all the nice messages now:D
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
My video that is. I didnt link it bec I knew Id get comments about how Antutu wasnt great for benchmarking (though its better than quadrant as it actually supports multi core)

Id be happy to test other Benchmarking apps, or any other APKs as previously mentioned if anyone is curious to see if certain apps will run, or what certain benchmark apps will show.
[Galaxy S II General] oikeakives:
I'm really excited about this ROM. Image related to this
[Galaxy S II General] :
:D:D:D if you was to wait for the official then yeah that is how we are going to look like...
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
Imho it would be interesting to see how nenamark2 and an3DbenchXL perform. They are pretty intensive benchmarks that i use quite often for testing gpu performance. Especially an3D is very accurate and pushes every kind of hardware released so far to the limit. Anyway i highly doubt they will give valuable results since we don't have proper gpu drivers, but it can still be fun to have a play, just out of curiosity ;)
[Galaxy S II General] marber45:
Samsung Honeycomb kernel sources for Galaxy Tab released, any use for the ICS port?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...galaxy-tab-7-0-plus-and-the-galaxy-tab-10-1n/
[Galaxy S II General] L10nH34Rt:
Nope. We need proprietary blobs.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Is the APK for all of those on the market?
[Galaxy S II General] mintvilla:
No as that uses the tegra Soc

Edit: Sorry saw that they released the 7+ as well
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
Yep, sure :)
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Ok... No probs :)
[Galaxy S II General] cchant:
Does the source code from the Galaxy Tab 7+ help? I thought it used the same Mali gpu as the Galaxy S 2
[Galaxy S II General] Rytkonen:
Same here. I also love your nick!

For non finnish fellows, oikeakives is righttesticle in english. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Installed the APK's via ADB, Just testing now...

(weird bug now on lockscreen mind :confused:)

Will upload soon
[Galaxy S II General] ottuh:
Nice! All transparency issues are fixed! We'll get a video tomorrow!

http://twitter.com/aospsgs2/status/139456893033787393
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Maybe....

We'd get one today if we could all test :rolleyes:

Uploading the bechmarking one now...

Here you go... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJbv3fju2fw

Though its just occurred to me I should have tried Chainfire 3D :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] fro5tie:
I've read pretty much all of this thread over the past few days, and havent read anything about this so please dont flame if its already been mentioned...

Does anyone know what the status of the camera will be? I know it isnt working currently, but what do devs/people in the know understand about how it will be compared to the galaxy nexus camera? Obviously there was a big deal made about the Nexus camera and how quick it is to shoot etc no shutter lag, is this something that people think will be the same on the GS2, or is it a hardware thing which will only be that good on the Galaxy Nexus?

Sensible replies appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Dont quote me, though im 90% sure its software based. IIRC the camera in the Nexus is the same that was in the Galaxy S. As long as the hardware requirements are there, which we have in the S2 (i.e processor speed etc) we should be able to have that feature.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Some driver source code cannot be released as they are deemed to be propriety and Samsung pays for access to these.
[Galaxy S II General] fro5tie:
That would be awesome, I don't want to get my hopes up though incase its not, guess time will tell
[Galaxy S II General] soulicro:
Maybe, but we won't know unless we try, right?

For what its worth, I just sent them the following email:

To all the devs working on this - you are the reason Android is what it is - a wonderfully unique, living, evolving mobile experience across all devices. The amount of progress you're making - and the speed in which you're making it - is absolutely incredible, and we are all most definitely forever in your debt for all the hard work you've put into our little mobile device.

Keep fighting the good fight!
[Galaxy S II General] runebinder:
Would love to know about Chainfire 3D. Thanks for the vid
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
Thanks for trying out those benchmarks. Actually this kinda confirmed what was already pretty obvious: the drivers aren't there yet. Right now the GS2 (on 2.3) can score about 50 fps in nenamark2 at stock speed and 43-44 in an3D, which is just slightly less than what the new Galaxy Nexus has scored, as you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MyGw2h0qMQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

It's interesting to see how in certains sectors of the benchmark the SGN does better while in others the GS2 dominates by far. Anyway it's already sure that the GS2 has a faster cpu...both smartbench and linpack scores suggest this: in terms of raw power the OMAP processor in the SGN seems to be similar to the Snapdragon dualcore that we can find in the Sensation, while arm9 processors (and especially those in the Exynos soc) seem to have better performances.

Anyway i'm just talking about benchmarks here, real life usage may be a different story.

However it seems like the GS2 isn't lagging behind the new Google flagship device at all (as far as we can tell), it does infact overtake it under many aspects, and to be honest i'm really happy about this: this phone we have here is probably even more future proof than the Nexus itself ;)
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Someone just violate your NDA! lmao
[Galaxy S II General] yepssss:
lets say that there's a chance we have ICS before a stock one from Samsung. They still have some hard work/coding ahead ;-)

Sent from right here
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
It's a part of the agreement that's signed with the companies that provide the reference drivers and their source codes that these cannot be shared so, unless Samsung wants to be sued for millions, they cannot publish the source codes for said drivers no matter how much they want to. :)
[Galaxy S II General] soulicro:
Your original post suggested you weren't sure if these drivers are indeed closed-source or not, which is why I responded the way I did. This post, however, definitely suggests you are pretty sure about your statement.

Do you know for a fact these drivers are closed-source, and Samsung couldn't share the source code even if they wanted? Or is it a guess? If you know for sure, well, that... sucks. If you don't, it's still worth trying =]
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
Sorry, but I am with Intratech on this one.

The drivers in question are Samsung's proprietary software for this phone and not open source! Source code for other Sammy phones has been requested in writing many times and Samsung has responded in writing many times saying they have all ready released all code required by Google and Apache licenses.

They have previously stated that these driver sources contain code sections that are related to other Samsung products and will not be released, to maintain the security of the SGSII as well as many other Samsung products using them.

Edit: Maybe a solution could be found similar to the negotiations between Cyanogenmod and Google back in 2009, when CM had to stop including Google Apps (which included some proprietary drivers).
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Took the words out of my mouth. I went to get the iPhone 4S a few days after it came out, and it was just so... boring. All that hacking that I can do on my SGS2 makes it a dream phone for me. Anyway, I sold my 4S after 3 days.
[Galaxy S II General] alexnative:
but some people like the boring stuff :D
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:
So this is the reason why the original galaxy s still doesnt have a stable gingerbread rom :confused: , does htc release their drivers? i see A LOT of htc roms, including a fully working version of cm7
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
Search any of the Samsung device threads and you will see the same problem cropping up again and again, for Froyo and Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S II General] Jeegsawk:
+1. Cyanogen 7 for galaxy 3 would have been ready 6 months ago if drivers were available. Instead it is still almost stuck
