The AdamG page is not up to date. Go here : http://codeworkx.de/wordpress/2011/11/20/status-update-for-ics-on-galaxy-s-ii/

and yes, HWComposer is working.

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

It's not true. Some members of the AOSPSGS2 works now woth Team Hacksung (Like xplodwild or AdamG).

And Team Hacksung works on the port of ICS since the begining.
[Galaxy S II General] TheFluffyOne:
Since the Galaxy S has a 5MP camera module and the S2 has an 8MP camera module that doesn't ring true. Even assuming they just use a different sensor, comparing the images I could find of the Galaxy S camera module and the Galaxy S2 camera module, they look to be rather different configurations. I wasn't able to determine whether the S2 module includes the NEC MC-10170 (though admittedly I didn't look all that hard).

I don't think that conclusively addresses the question of whether ICS will affect shutter lag on the S2, though.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Post one has only codeworkx wordpress link now. That is the only one to check for now regarding any updates.:)

Anyway i really have to go this time...So enjoy your weekend you lot:) and be good:D
[Galaxy S II General] runebinder:
For the Retina display though, that'd mean LCD and after using the S2 I could never go back to an LCD screen on a phone. Love the true blacks and colours on OLED.

Went to phones4u the other day and had a play about with gnex. Got to say really like the ics the way it handles running apps just slide to side to close them, new way of adding widgets, first I couldn't even find them but its all organised well.

Forgot to try many things like camera, but all very smooth and enjoyable. The price is £529 sim free and wouldn't get any discount even after I set the phone to unlock only with my face : ) btw face unlock isn't as gimmicky as I thought unlocking is really fast and worked every time, guy at p4u didn't know much about ics and the time I left shop he couldn't even unlock it :)
[Galaxy S II General] pik1:
It's a little off topic but:

I think there are a few things about the gnex which wouldn't make me buying it:

No sd card slot, 5mp camera, software buttons, too big overall...
[Galaxy S II General] :
Galaxy Nexus should of had what galaxy s2 has under the hood. If the Nexus had all the hardware chips and etc that our baby has then by far combine it with the display you are looking at a world beater in my eyes... Simple as that..Apart from the display and the fact that it has ICS and it will get any updates from google first for me our s2 is ten times better.:)
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
A few minutes ago you said you were definitely leaving! :p
[Galaxy S II General] akira02rex:
Now why would a grown man such as yourself do such a thing? Kids...
[Galaxy S II General] dj_ghosie:
Actually, the guys who actually did the coding within the AOSP group joined Teamhacksung and continued with the development towards CM9, therefore all work done was intact and carried thru.

Whether or not THS will release a beta of the pre-cm9 soap built is really up to them and there's no point in bashing about it. Afterall they r the ones who did the hard work and have every right to decide in releasing it or not.

Total respect to them!
[Galaxy S II General] obdrz:
Of course I disabled the face unlock in the end ; )
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
teamhacksung worked since the sources got released by google on their own repos.

the aosp team worked using the precompiled sdk build (there was no coding) and moved then over to using teamhacksung sources. that was the point where they've said "now built from sources".

the only real coding i've seen was from adam, xploidwild, nebkat. and now their working with us because they're able to contribute.

nothing got lost, nothing has changed.

the only thing is, that we never released a build.

aosp released a build after they've merged our stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] tedgy:
@codeworkx

i have tested the release of coentje44 on 3 phones ( excuse me for that :o )

and i have found one get mic working in call ( in sfr network )

actually we try with different carrier

i have tester if is bootloader related and result isn't related to bootloader

any chance to help you with log or other ?

ps: i'm french sorry for my poor english :D
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
no, we know where the problem is.

it's not provider related.

It's the audio driver.
[Galaxy S II General] runebinder:
Thanks for the clarification on that, I'd seen their names listed on your page and wasn't sure whether it was due to acknowledgement of shared development between the 2 two teams or they had joined up with teamhacksung. Great news that they've joined you guys :)

On the off topic about the Galaxy Nexus, agree that the screen is the only real upside to the handset. Came from a iPhone 3GS to the S2 and love the Micro SD option.
[Galaxy S II General] Phone_Guru:
You might like to try talking to the developer of the SGS1 ICS ROM.

The thread is located at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1338636

He has the camera and in call audio working.
[Galaxy S II General] cchant:
I'm sure he is aware of what the Galaxy S status is... not to mention different hardware

Here all are dying in ego...
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Probably you are right, Its really sad to know that ics for sgs is going great...

atleast cm team is carrying on their work, and also we cant blame devs for this, im sure they would have given their best shot, but if things get out of hands, we have no other go rather than wait.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Why are you sad that others have luck? I mean, yeah it sucks that the work on the Galaxy S2 is suffering from such bull**** (sorry for that term, but I've been following this thread for quite a while now and it's just ridiculous what's going on here).

Let's just hope that it's just temporary...

Let's hope it for us, so we get ICS, and especially for the developers, so their work does not become a torture for them!
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
pawitp?

He's a part of us. xD

Like you might have realized, we did the cm7 port for i9000.

Can we build for sgs2 or are you closed at present . I have an evening at my pc and would love to try ics . N.p either way, appreciate your work .
[Galaxy S II General] minty1978:
Hi tricky, they are closed at the moment...until they have a proper working rom. Still a couple of bugs to iron out.
[Galaxy S II General] unrealtb:
Have you been burnt before old boy? Haha
[Galaxy S II General] r3dpuma:
Relax guys, december is coming, holidays, wine, new years etc, then january for recovery and work, and then ICS will officially be out...easy peasy... Be glad that we still have the best phone on the market after so many flagship phones emerging, still not one phone has the SGS 2 powah (RAZR blah!).
[Galaxy S II General] unrealtb:
+ 1 hehe
[Galaxy S II General] cchant:
As a matter of fact yes. When cm7 was still in development, someone managed to build it and release before it was ready
[Galaxy S II General] stylez:
Oh but ICS and the rez is awesome and so smooth.. m8's just got one gonna so sweet when ICS is fully working as allot you could tell was down to OS...

But I'm happy with SGSII as still a beast and its outta price range least for year lol
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Yeah, no match for our stormin' SGS2. :D

I can't believe how much I loved HTC this time last year, now as far as I am concerned they aren't even on my radar anymore. Now it even feels right saying... boooo HTC you suck! Lol :p

I'm switching to nexus as the SGS2 is all power and no battery. Worst battery life I've ever experienced on a phone. G Nex might be same but worth a try.
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
Imho you should at least wait for the ics official update before moving to the SGN, and see if battery life improves. In the while the SGS3 will be on its way, and that bad boy will totally be worth the upgrade. Personally i can't really complain about battery life on this one tho, it's pretty much on par with any other high end phone nowadays imho.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Lol, have you thought that some apps you're using might be keeping your phone awake and draining your battery?

I'm only saying that because I'm very surprised at your statement. I've had more than 3 days out of my SGS2 with moderate usage, and I'm positive that it could manage even more.

You obviously have no idea how to set up your phone properly.

[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
Haha this made me laugh. Even though I am switching to the Galaxy Nexus as well (and not because of battery reasons), I can't believe that you think the Galaxy S II has bad battery performance. It easily beats my old iPhone 4 and my 4S in terms of battery. Then again, I have the 2000mah extended battery :).
[Galaxy S II General] KroonBerg:
Have you even read a single review for that phone? Here, I'll quote one for you: "Battery life is just barely acceptable. I guess I should've known this going into a sub-9mm phone with a 4.65-inch 720p AMOLED display... but needless to say, you're going to be sweating bullets in the latter half the day."

[Galaxy S II General] Deusdies:
Battery life for me on my SGS II is easily 2 days with moderate usage, which is fantastic.
[Galaxy S II General] marcelotorres:
Hi all!

I was thinking:

And if we pay the devs to continue the project!?

Maybe the users that pay can form a beta-testers team.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
That's feasible but a little unfair to others who don't donate but can still provide valuable feedback.

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium quality neurotransmitter.
[Galaxy S II General] marcelotorres:
Maybe, but this way we can get ICS again. I was read, don't remember where that Sammy will release ICS only in Q2 2012. For me it's so far away...

But i think this is a good idea. Don't know about the devs, but for me and, for others XDA users, this is a good idea...(i think)
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
Not going to happen.

We're doing this for fun.

And we don't need any testers at the moment.

You can click the donate button on the left side to get me some beer.

That will make me drunken and more happy.
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
I might be wrong to ask this, sorry if I am..

When CM9 is released will it have the usual cyanogen tweaks? Sorry but just wanted to know;)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
I see your point.

Anyways there was a link posted recently in this thread that states we only have to wait one more month for ICS. I hope that turns out to be true. ;)

I'd like to think that it's more productive for Samsung to have ICS accessible on more than one device. They must be aware of that.

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium quality neurotransmitter.
[Galaxy S II General] marcelotorres:
Codeworkx, i respect your work and the other devs.

And if you say that, i respect your desire.

But, why the project is stopped, because the "leaked" rom?

Sorry for ask this, i was far away, and when i back, the project was stopped.

---------- Post added at 03:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------

I see that post, but i don't think so that will happen.

In december, we can't receive any update from Sammy, once SGS III will be released in Jan or Feb /2012
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
I highly doubt S3 will come in Q1 2012..
[Galaxy S II General] marcelotorres:
+1 [ten char]
[Galaxy S II General] robbiev80:
When did codeworkx say that the porting/project will stop? They have been porting ICS for SGS2 since the source was released and will keep working on it.

They will continue working on it when it gets merged into CyanogenMod 9.
[Galaxy S II General] marcelotorres:
Your right.

Googling i read that it maybe will be released in the mid of 2012
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
AFAIK, the project has not stopped. Rather, one of the teams working on ICS for SGS2 (aospsgs2) has given up. Team Hacksung, the brains behind CM7 for SGS2 has been working on it from the beginning and are still going ahead.
[Galaxy S II General] marcelotorres:
hmmm, thanks for the answer. I had not read this.

thanks...

I hope that cm9 come with christmas...

This is my request to Santa Claus...:D
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
I have read that an open beta might be released once they manage to get the microphone working in-calls. As codeworkx has said that they are close to figuring that out a few pages back, hopefully we won't have to wait too long. :D
[Galaxy S II General] marcelotorres:
I hope too! Maybe the fix come in the next weeks...
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
It will be much more user friendly.

Or should i say "noob friendly" to make it clear?

But still powerfull and full of awesome.

Eh? Nothing is stopped.

Basically porting AOSP is the base for CM9.

My blood is full of CM. I'll never stop!

Really?

Our possible fix for it went bad after some hours of work.

The Galaxy S II audio drive is a pure disaster.

But we expected it, because it's not the first time that something coming from S****** is totally fuct up.

Going to write a driver from scatch. If that's possible without any documentation. We'll see after another week of work.
[Galaxy S II General] marcelotorres:
Sorry for the fix didn't work.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
That was what I interpreted reading this:

Sorry the fix didn't work. But I'm sure you guys will figure things out! Also, hopefully the guy who got in touch with Samsung's principal engineer gets some goodies for us. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Thanks for the reply, you guys know how to bring awsome to our phones;):p

I'm so used to CM I can't really use nothing besides it..enough sucking up..:p

Goodluck with the fix.

Can you please post a screenshot of your phone lasting 72 hours with moderate use.

I have tried several roms, different versions of stock and battery calibration tools and cm7 and miui and all provide poor battery life for me. I am a fairly heavy user, but on current build made with ROM Kitchen and Speed mod kernel, I can just get through a day if I use Juice Defender on aggressive.

[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
CM was good when the companies would not release the updates for some phones or would release them very late, I tried the alpha 7 it is very good but I dont think it is enough for me to shift to aosp. Even cm7 has some bugs cm9 is bound to have many more. Till they are fixed or even before that we are sure to have a rock solid rom from Samsung. Camera HDMI samsung dive etc are things that are just awesome on the stock rom. With some great tweaks like jkay etc who needs aosp anymore. Just check out the browser smoothness on stock then look at aosp performance.

Flame shield ON.

Cyanogen is good for people who are seeking the true aosp feel but for what its worth I feel that Samsung has done a damn fine job with touchwiz 4. With people like Intratech and Chainfire delivering quick ROMS and root kernels is there anything more to want.

Forever Android.

Edit: I tried CM7 and MIUI extensively but i just came back to stock again and again. My regards to the devs but I dont think that I will be keeping the ics aosp rom as my daily maybe just for experimentation. With drivers not being open sourced and many functions hacked together not working to full capability why bother.

[Galaxy S II General] razor 116:
Well for me the only thing stopping me from switching completely to AOSP is the camera app which ICS now delivers something that is at least comparable to the Samsung one. Also the touch wiz launcher is lacking in customisation e.g. scrollable widgets, themes and many other options that 3rd party launchers offer, yes it is hardware accelerated which is its only saving grace but the ICS launcher is far superior.
[Galaxy S II General] conantroutman:
Its a good point you have raise but there are still 96743 "my battery life sucks because I don't know how to set up my phone properly" threads out there for people who want to moan about their battery. :)

[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
ICS on galaxy nexus does but when do you think there will be a comparable one for gs2 build also will all the features make it? Different hardware and also the pace at which hardware is changing is too much for part time devs to keep up.

Edit: I meant to the aosp build. Surely they will be there on the Samsung builds.

[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
For me what's stopping me from using CM7 as my daily ROM is the low volume issue and somewhat spotty support for playing some videos. I understand that this is due to lack of drivers for audio and video, so they are no fault at all of the developers. I hope CM9 won't have these issues although judging by how stingy Samsung is with the driver goodness I not too hopeful.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Well talk about whatever you like just as long people dont troll. But preferably yes on topic. :).

One thing that gets me interested is how games will work with ICS. What you guys think will be different from gingerbread?

[Galaxy S II General] graemefaulkner:
Don't mean to enrage any devs by this question but I'm curious so hopefully I can get away with it since this is the q&a thread.

I get that we had graphics issues due to the fact that the gingerbread graphics driver didn't support hardware acceleration but why is a leak required for a sound driver? Surely the gingerbread driver would sufficient? Or does ics have extensions on sound capabilities as well?

Thx
[Galaxy S II General] atinm:
More like changes to the sound api. We don't have source for the gingerbread libraries for SGS2, so it is very hard to make them work under an ICS framework as they are without doing some serious coding.

Is there anyone on the dev team willing to do more frequent updates regarding progress? Since this split off its becoming really difficult//nigh on impossible to follow. The places listed havent been updated in 2 days or more.

Does that mean nothing whatsoever has happened? or just nothing significant enough that they can be bothered to list it as an update?
[Galaxy S II General] 02ranger:
Since the biggest thing left to fix is the mic I assume there just hasn't been an important change to add to the site. Codeworkx has been here a couple times with updates and I believe one said they had roughly a week of coding to get the sound drivers working, and that's not even for sure. That was posted sometime yesterday if I remember right.
