Better and better, thank you and keep up ;)

I can't wait the full version :D
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
Whoa, sorry guys. I didn't know it was hw accelerated, it's not like I said something that starts a war :( I'll try alpha 5 later, see how touchscreen changes it.
[Galaxy S II General] Eltev:
Amazing speed-devs!

With this speed, the rom will be finished in no time :D
[Galaxy S II General] :
first post is updated with the link to alpha 5 build and changelog..anyone got anymore links to videos post them here so i can put it on the front so more people can see the progress the guys are doing..thanks

Just wondering after ICS update,

What will be use of Buttons below the screen. Will they be of any use or we can use them as 3 onscreen button in ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] DimICE:
What about GAAPS ?

Where i can download it for this rom ?
[Galaxy S II General] SuX.Dickinson:
I want RC :D
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
They will get rid of them, they are just temp ;)
[Galaxy S II General] blossom:
Precisely

[Galaxy S II General] Zingel1986:
Hey guys,

Whats about the Software buttons? Why did you implemented them? Alpha3 was without and I think they are kind of useless.

My SGSII is my spare phone so I am running ICS now as everyday ROM without RIL and so on.

Its really great work and is stable. I have no FC´s. Your so cool.

BTW: You should update sgs2ics.com at the same time you update your threads here.
[Galaxy S II General] qwertyaas:
Awesome! That would have been annoying to lose that screen space.
[Galaxy S II General] coebergh:
First of all, this looks great! Thanks already for all the effort you have put and wil be putting in this project! Hope you can't hear this enough cause you will hear it plenty :D and you should!

So here is my noob question: can you flash this like a regular ROM in cwm? backing up and restoring etc? Or do you have to flash through odin?

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
CWM as normal. If you have CWM 4 though you will need to do the "install from zip" part twice in a row ;)
[Galaxy S II General] sim-value:
CWM ROM ;)

Also great progress, really confident for the future!
[Galaxy S II General] jaksau:
Awesome work!! Is multi-touch on screen working?
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Alpha 6 - http://www.multiupload.com/RGMUE59K6Q :D
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
Thx to your great efforts i finally had a chance to try out the original ICS ui on my phone. It's really beautiful on the SAMOLED+, makes me wanna stare at the screen all day :D

Edit: oh btw, what's new in b6 if i can ask? The site hasn't been updated yet :)
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
Is it possible to reprogram the menu button in a recent apps one? Should be, it would be amazing. One touch multitasking.
[Galaxy S II General] Zingel1986:
I´ve found another bug.

If you want to write something, you can´t see it in the textfield (not sure if this word exists)
[Galaxy S II General] :
FIRST POST UPDATED WITH ALPHA 6 BUILD. ALL LINKS ARE ON FIRST POST.

Man the guys are fast. Excellent work guys. By the way just for a reminder...Only download and flash if you know what you are doing. Just because its ICS and a port does not mean its the finished article. So take caution when trying it out..always make a backup so once you finished playing with it you can revert back.:D Many thanks to Silver420 for keeping up to date with everything...Maybe i should give you the thread to take over:D

anyway enjoy guys:D
[Galaxy S II General] 7unk3r:
I was thinking about this earlyer, it would be awsome!
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
You had a play yet? Found the easter egg? ;)
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:

what ? :D we have only these issues ? :D common now this should come under Beta not alpha :p
[Galaxy S II General] iamsachin:
Amazing progress.

I started reading Linux Kernel Development, hoping to join the dev wagon soon. :)

And trust me ICS is turning out to be so beautiful. I seriously wish those iSheeps could feel the joy that we guys are feeling. :)
[Galaxy S II General] JonesWTF:
As soon as we have at least 3g working, I'll flash it :) I'm not fussed with wifi at the mo.

I've been reading tonnes from the book I bought and it'll take me a while to grasp it all. So hopefully I can lend a hand with fixing things.

Sent from my SGS II via Tapatapatapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] iamsachin:
Which book are u reading??

I have started Linux Kernel Dev.
[Galaxy S II General] :
all info is on IRC channel..Links are on the first post..There also you can keep up to date what the guys are working on...Later on i will play with alpha 6..Knowing my luck though they probably have alpha 7 by then:D
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
Did a short video on alpha 5. Take a look! Sorry about the poor video quality though. Recorded it using a potato.

[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Alpha 5 is pretty smooooth!!! Cant believe how far they have come in lest then a week, if the devs read this great job!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] PunkOz:
List of issues on alpha 5

Auto rotation not working.

Notification bar not working.

No face detection option(?)

When you want to type something the screen turns black and you can't see what you're typing.

When you click some options in development options the screen act weird.

Changing tabs in browser is a lil laggy

Automatic brightness not working (not sure because i unisntalled already)

I hope this helped a lil. keep the work up guys! this is amazing!
[Galaxy S II General] :
Thanks buddy:) Sure they are reading this...IRC i suggest to go on there and anything you want to mention like you did above say it there to buddy:)
[Galaxy S II General] :
Alpha 6 video thanks to the great Silver420 is up now for everyone to view..Do not forget to thank him for it...:)
[Galaxy S II General] h20pt:
More and more great news as time goes by :D

You guys are reallyyyyyyyyyyy quick! Thank you for your work ;)
[Galaxy S II General] psb07158:
Woah, the progress being made is outstanding. I wonder if any of the TeamHacksung team are looking into this or are they doing their own thing?!
[Galaxy S II General] :
Thank the guys mate....The devs are doing the hard work...All the rest of you are the ones bringing the feedback here for me to post on front post(which i should really sort out and clear):D

Also big thanks to Silver420 for being here and looking out while im not:D
[Galaxy S II General] :
all honesty if they did then this would be moved alot quicker trust me...but i guess that is a separate project...would be good though if they did got involved..but we do have AdamG keeping an eye out on the IRC channel so you cant ask anymore than him:) plus the team as a whole are just at it really hard(getting the port done that is;))
[Galaxy S II General] :
GUYS HERE IS ANOTHER GREAT SOURCE TO KEEP YOURSELF UPDATED...

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

THE GUY IS JUST NON STOP TWEETING UPDATES..:)

Thanks man.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
I read that teamhacksung wouldnt mind helping out, or looking into this port but since no git is being used they wont bother..
[Galaxy S II General] :
:(Ahhh...I will be honest mate...I am not really fussed if they got involved or not..Would be great if they did as that means more great minds to work on a project which could mean only great things ahead but the other thing is that the guys and the team working on it already are doing a great job as we speaking..So either way i am one happy guy.:)
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Yeah i understand, i feel the same way..

They devs working on this are doing wonders and blazing fast;)
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
i just love the way this development is going on :D
[Galaxy S II General] chickie.tobias:
nice -

Looks like we'll manage to get wifi working ! Guys, today might be a great day :) #SGS2 #ICS

17 minutes ago
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Yup today might be the day
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
Yeah and read the calls and SMS are working and will be on next alpha wo0t!!

Cant stop thinking what great job the devs are doing;)
[Galaxy S II General] fro5tie:
Surely teamhacksung are working on cyanogenmod 9 with ICS, they just wont release anything public until its in a decent state
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Cool...... awesome development going on :D
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Cheers for the thanks but i havent really done anything. Also the devs have made much better videos than me :)

Ive been trying to learn how to use ADB for the last couple of hours... By the time I work it out, theyll have wifi sorted and there will be no need lol
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Well done to all involved keep up the good work.
[Galaxy S II General] :
i know mate but every little counts and the more videos we get the more people get to see how the project is coming along:D
[Galaxy S II General] oyebto:
i think you devs are really doing a wonderful job.. i will like almost on your following status as a matter of thanks. =)
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
If I could get ADB to install some APK's id be doing some tests, but oh noooooo.. That would be too much fun obviously lol
[Galaxy S II General] :
right time to sort out first post.:) eRajesh guide going on first post..:)
[Galaxy S II General] retrend:
thanks for the efforts that are being put in guys!
[Galaxy S II General] :
haha i leave that fun part to you:D

Devs are the ones mate who deserve all the thanks..still early days but the updates so far are coming thick and fast:D
[Galaxy S II General] tush:
Has anyone tried this on an AT&T branded GS2?

[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
No way, I frikking worked it out at last!! :D
[Galaxy S II General] :
Right first post looks alot better now and everything more neater...everything is were it should be now what you guys think? :)
[Galaxy S II General] :
whats that?:D
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
How to flash APKs using ADB. Devs will laugh at me for this but its taken me ages to work it out :o
[Galaxy S II General] :
:D i could of showed you how to do it:D

anyway bud tell me what you think of first post? do you think it looks better with all the links and everything else?
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
Lol, so we can start some pointless benchmarking now, right? :D
[Galaxy S II General] roytoch:
Benchmarks ftw :P even though they are completely pointless. If I understand correctly, the hardware acceleration is working now and should make it smoother than previous android versions, right? *not that there was anything to complain about*
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Tut tut.. Ive wasted hours of my life lol. I was stuck on one bit for ages!!

Looking good :) Cant believe how fast its progressing.

Edit: I know most will go on about why benchmarking is a waste of time etc etc etc, however.. Im happy if I can do it and thats all that matters :P
[Galaxy S II General] :
i know :eek: and never mind..learning is good;)

To everyone else..Not to burst anyones bubble here regarding the project but lets calm down abit ok....Alpha builds are moving on nicely and the team is doing the most awesome work so far yet.:) but lets just give them time and lets all be patient...Benchmarks and other things lets just steady on.....For now lets get everything at least on beta stage then we can rock the hell out of it.:D till the meantime lets just play about with the alpha builds and take it from there:D
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
new tweet from xplodwild Guillaume

"People on the work on audio, an alpha 6.5 with ril fix is being uploaded"
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
I agree. It's all about having fun here: i love playing with this half baked OS for a few minutes every day, it's all i want right now, i couldn't really ask more at this stage. Heh, this is the kind of fun iOS users will never have i guess :rolleyes: These are the very moments i'm happy about being into Android/xda, when everything works it's just too boring...making everything work bit by bit and hack after hack is much more satisfying and entertaining instead :D

They call it our weakness, i call it our strenght.
[Galaxy S II General] :
6.5 is being uploaded as we speaking...Thanks to Paradoxx for posting it on the other thread.:)

Wtf, is it christmas already? :eek:

Where do the devs get all this code to make the phone part work with no official drivers? There must be some insane hacking skill there :)

aosp based? vendor?

thanks for your work. Is there source for vendor (if it is aosp based)?

how can i donate ?

i thought u guys were just wana be devs

but how did u get it working this fast

drivers etc
[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
Expect a donation soon.

Does wifi work atleast? RIL would be great. Basic calls and stuff and this will be my daily rom!
[Galaxy S II General] vnvman:
Haha same here, i don't care about bugs, i just wanna show off a little :D
[Galaxy S II General] :
Damn cant have a piss without a new alpha being out. Alpha 7 is being uploaded and with full galaxy nexus apps. Check the other thread for more info. Dont download 6.5. Sorry for that guys
[Galaxy S II General] slekerz:
thanks to all dev that work on this project will use it when all the issue is fix.:-)
[Galaxy S II General] 101matt101:
No need to apologise mate :), this development is moving at an unbelievable speed :D!
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
To me this is one of THE best things about XDA where multiple developers all get together for a common goal of getting ICS working and released on our beloved GS2's

With the rapid pace of development I won't be surprised if calls and wireless will be working very soon in time for a beta.

Keep up the excellent work everyone.
[Galaxy S II General] Izee Sulz:
Great work guys, but what is RIL?
[Galaxy S II General] coresnet:
and how should i install the ICS, i am new to android but have rooted my phone already:D

Crap, the proxy here thinks Paradoxxx is some kind of porn, grrr....
[Galaxy S II General] le_lutin:
There's a link to a guide in the first post
[Galaxy S II General] :
Guide on front post mate. Carefull and read first before you do it
[Galaxy S II General] coresnet:
thank you both! i just wanted to check the ICS, i am very curious:D i've made full backup via CWM, so i guess i can revert the phone to the previous state later...
[Galaxy S II General] djunited:
will this port eventually become what something will officially eventually offer in Q1or2 2012 to the sgs2 except for samsung's touchwiz offcourse. or is it something else?
[Galaxy S II General] 101matt101:
Well no-one really knows what ICS with TouchWiz will be like, or what the official SGS2 ICS update will consist of. It'll most probably be different to this port though. Whether it'll be better or worse is anyone's guess at this stage :).

This progress is so amazing..

If it wouldn't slow down, we'd have a perfect rom within 2 days.. ^^

Btw: RIL … Radio interface Layer

It's a pretty low level piece of code which communicates directly with the radio hardware. (Afaik)

[Galaxy S II General] coresnet:
how much time the phone is supposed to boot? i flashed Alpha 7 twice in a row, as described in the first post, but the phone is sitting at the Galaxy SII logo for more than 10-15 minutes now...:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] :
Did you do wipe
[Galaxy S II General] coresnet:
yeah, i did exactly as described in the first post... now i tried wiping and installing for the second time (this time wiped and dalvik cache) and everything is OK, ICS is great:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] pallmallka:
Is it normal to have black screen after the SGS II logo?
[Galaxy S II General] 101matt101:
That happened to me, I just rebooted from the download mode warning screen (press down where you'd normally press up to enter download mode), and it was fine after that, it just booted up as it should.
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
does this completely wipe your device??
[Galaxy S II General] pallmallka:
Not working for me. Tried both recovery and download mode reboot, but i'm getting black screen after the logo.

ROM: GT-I9100_NEE_I9100XWKF3_I9100XXKE7_I9100OXXKF1 (stock) with Supercore 1.4

Flashed the Alpha 7 twice. (wiped everything before install (factory, cache, system)
[Galaxy S II General] Rockinoutt93:
Looking at buying this phone and developing some ICS goodness with it :D
[Galaxy S II General] Silver420:
Can happen in two ways.

1. Its installed and goes to a black screen as it does at times.. Press home button a couple of times :)

2. You came from CWM 4, and didnt do the flash part twice?
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
New tweet by xplodwild Guillaume

WiFi will be working in the next couple of minutes, hopefully
[Galaxy S II General] :
Luckily I had read about the black screen prior to flashing. Had a ~3 minute wait on the black screen.

Amazing progress so far.

never mind :)

I flashed CF-Root kernel (replaced the supercore 1.4)

Did the install process with Alpha 7. (wipe system, data, cache then flashed twice)

Now no black screen, but stock on the SGS II logo :)

I rebooted the phone to recovery. ( now 5.x.x.x )

wiped again (dalvik too)

flashed again

black screen at 20:37 :)

Android welcome screen at 20:39 :D

I'm quite sure, that u cant flash the alpha if u are on Supercore (1.4)
