[Galaxy S II General] :
Look above my friend people are already answering to your questions.:) and its rooted yes as they are using a kernel with cwm recovery already on it..so follow my guide and the guides by the guys above and enjoy the ics..make sure you make a back up first though please
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Whoops, missed that bit :o

I know to have a backup even if my question was noobish :p
[Galaxy S II General] Fysi:
Titanium Backup does not work on ICS, but the guy behind it is looking to get it up and running on ICS ASAP.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Thanks for that buddy...do you have a source or a link so others can read that to please?:)
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
If your not invited to test.....

Its closed dev builds for the min sadly, until they give us the next CWM flashable release. Alpha 7 was the last one for us "normal folk" :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II General] ImWarped:
BOO! to normalcy... *tapping finger impatiently*

Build #3 it is... I hate being a power user, just enough knowledge to f*ck **** up and fix it again without crying to the Dev's, and not enough knowledge to progress development and beg for a password LOL

KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK!

gives me a reason to keep my linux partitions around once it's done and I can REALLY start breaking things on my own LOL
[Galaxy S II General] kamzata:
tnks. On Alpha7 phone and audio works? On my phone dosn't work.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
No audio bud.

Edit: Thought id quickly flash Alpha 7 and see what the problem was with TB. Even though these Alphas are supposed to be rooted, the message given by TB is the fact it cant gain root privelages.

[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Anyone dare flash latest Speedmod to attempt root? I'm fighting the urge to flash for funsies.
[Galaxy S II General] pac213:
On a side note,

Why is XDA not credited on this post? I think the devs should have proper credit on their works and not another website/blog or whatever. But that's just me.

[Galaxy S II General] dj_ghosie:
Should this thread be moved to Q&A section instead?
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
Its worth a try. I tried flashing Speedmod on Galnet's MIUI 4.0 but ended up with bootloops. So I think its gonna be the same for this rom.
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
How could you? :eek:

SpeedMod says that it is for Samsuck roms, not meant for AOSP Roms!!!

And the ICS here in talk, is the AOSP Port! :D
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
It was only a theory.
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
And that is why I think flashing Speedmod onto the 4.0 port would result in bootloops. :)
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
Mention it then! Some people here will flash SpeedMod and will probably brick their devices and blame it on the devs working here!

Yup! :)
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
It was a question, I never directed anyone to do anything. If someone chooses to experiment and the results are not what was desired then TFB for them. So enough with the "!", okay?
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Cheers :) Thats certainly better than the stock one. It is indeed a lot faster to use :)

Just flashed with no probs onto Checkrom 3.1.1
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
lol, this cracked me up. Oh wait, NOOOOOO, Exclaimation marks are bad!!!!!!!!!!!! :p
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
LOL! Im not blaming you mate! There are lots of people roaming around XDA who flash ROMs without noticing the Alpha/Beta tag and then start up a fight and what-not!

Again, Sorry! :D
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
Just flashed alpha 7 build 3, and here is my mini update:

-IMO, build 3 is very hard to flash. Only flash if you're very experienced (unlike me :D)

Changes:

-Softkeys at the bottom have been removed.

-When booting for the first time, the default keyboard is the Chinese PinYin IME which FC's. I changed it back to the default Android keyboard.

-CRT-off effect seems a bit blurry.

-WI-FI works (Hooray!) and the browser is awesome.

-Comes with CWM 5.5 but is not fully functional.

-Dev Tools app now installed

-Now functional with Google apps since Wi-Fi is enabled.

-Haptic feedback feels flimsy(?)

I will be doing a more in-depth video soon since this build brings much more functionality.

-------------------------------------EDIT--------------------------------

It seems codeworkx removed all gapps from this build because of the CyanogenMod-Google issue.

I'm a little confused at the moment because they included gapps as a separate flashable zip file, but all sdcards (internal and external) can not be accessed at the moment which means I can't flash gapps.
[Galaxy S II General] screamworks:
Thanks for the update man, glad to see they've got WiFi working now :D
[Galaxy S II General] ryanswj:
hello everyone!

first, i'd like to thank the developers for all their hard work! great job!

i've watched the latest video on the front page (alpha 7) and i've noticed that the graphics on the sgs2 doesn't seem to work correctly...

1st, we can't see the wallpaper.

2nd, the wallpaper flashes when a menu is pulled up.

3rd, it is almost impossible to enter text because the whole screen turns black when the keyboard is present.

what is the cause for this?

thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
That's because the rom is still in alpha stage, so there are plenty of things that need to be sorted out. :)

I'm sure the devs are working on it and we'll get a stable, functional rom after some time.
[Galaxy S II General] cTrox:
Can you talk some more about the browser? Is it smooth on "big" sites like engadget (desktop) or theverge?
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
I ran PhoneDog.com as a test and on Wi-Fi it loaded up pretty quickly. Pinch-to-Zoom was seamless even with flash content and every thing was smooth overall. I would say the browser is on par with the stock Samsung browser. :)
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I wish I had another GSII to test these stuffs :(
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
do an nandroid backup of your existing ROM. flash ICS and test it and then restore the backup.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
You missed out flashing a kernel on with a working CWM to be able to restore ;)

Or a new ROM, whatever it is thats stopping it from letting you restore after Alpha 7.

I believe the easiest way is booting into download mode, flashing a kernel, then restoring.
[Galaxy S II General] bunnybash:
On page 1 of this thread people were estimating how long till we have a working build of ICS... what are the current bets at? I put it at the 25th of November at the latest :)
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:

[Galaxy S II General] SuperYeti420:
I'd say probably xmas time.
[Galaxy S II General] Danthemanz:
Ok guys, need some help here.

Firstly, i know i shouldnt have done it, but i flashed the Build 3 through Heimdall and lost my CWM. Build 3 didnt boot anyway, Alpha7 was working before that.

Grabbed a kernel with CWM and flashed it with Odin, couldnt access CMW (was getting a black screen).

Grabbed a stock 2.3.4 English Odin image and flashed the whole thing through Odin.

Now it wont finish booting, just boot animation loops.

Is there something im missing here or did i screw something up bad?

Any help would be appreciated :)

Edit: I wasnt holding "home" when i was holding "Up vol" to get into CWM after reflashing CWM kernels. I know i was getting in without the home button before, but there you go. I reflashed the CWM kernel and im in, restoring my backup now. I thought i was going mad!
[Galaxy S II General] rudolf895:
Remove the battery, get into recovery(Combo:Home+power+ volume up)

Then factory reset, reboot system.

Might take up to 15mins for the first boot
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
As we cant restore with CWM5 after Alpha 7, is there a way we can use Heimdall to do a restore if we first copy the restore file to the PC?

Also, can you wipe data, cache, and dalvik through Heimdall? Flash kernels etc? (I assume you can do anything if you know how) Knowing how to do the above all in Heimdall would tempt me to start flashing pretty much anything :D

Not asking for all the answers but if you have any links etc with guides/info, they would be much appreciated :D
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
I'm not sure if it can be done :P

I had to manually flash a stock Samsung rom and a rooted kernel through Odin to restore my Nandroid backup.
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
I know how to do that ^^^ Just.....

what happens if your flashing a ROM that has no CWM? I know you can flash a kernel on with ODIN, though it would be pretty handy being able to do it all through Heimdall :)
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
Sorry about my previous post, I didn't know what I was talking about :p

Maybe a programmer could come up with a modded version of Heimdall and make our lives much easier ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Danthemanz:
Thats what i was trying to do...:(

Sorted it out now, i was able to get into CWM after flashing a CWM kernel onto the stock image, i think it wasnt holding "home" when i was holding "up-vol", worked before without, oh well, that will teach me to go through 10 different phones in a year....lol

Restored my backup and im back online.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] rudolf895:
You never know, it might be possible to restore dumps, if they are in .img format.

I dont think you can wipe data and cache, but thats yet another thing to find out.

You can obviously flash kernels,

have a look at the possible list of commands here [LINK]

We don't have an ETA nor we release beta builds.

I've seen the guide on flashing Alpha using Heimdall. But can Mobile ODIN (by Chainfire) be used?
[Galaxy S II General] :
you can try but at your own risk..i would only advise to go by what the devs have got on the website.;) just as long as you have a backup and you know what you doing then go ahead...and if it works post it here and let others as well that they can use that option as well to flash the build

Anyway quick update for you guys whoever is interested...Thank you to Paradoxxx for confirming this to me.

Working

Display (transparency issues)

Touchscreen

RIL (some little bugs on sim pin)

Audio

Wifi

GPS

Sensors

SD Cards

Bluetooth

Phone ending

Rotation

Not working

[Galaxy S II General] FireWalkerX:
Better wait, mate. The latest public alpha is way way older than the latest internal builds, i would suggest waiting for a stable release.

But to answer you question, if your on a modded rom, or official rom, then yes. else do a rom backup in cwm :-)

ICS doesnt interest me because of the launcher btw... Its because of the way its written. Once we have the base, you'll be able to change the launcher but still benefit from the increased speeds of ICS.

Do they not need the actual drivers etc though? I'm sure I read before it's near impossible to reverse engineer that stuff minus the actual code.... with some contacts in Sammy surely someone can encourage a wee sneeky bit of coding to be "leaked"? :P

Managed to install without any problems here btw. Got a few force closes which were resolved by changing default keyboard back to the English one. Wifi works well and general UI and browser use is nice and smooth. If you guys get this working I can't see the other roms getting many hits once this is released. Fantastic hard work guys!
