Hi all this is Media Solutions creator of Screencast Video Recorder.

Guys if anybody is interested in testing SVR on this beta build please send me an email (email not a PM plz). I am trying to test SVR on as many ICS builds as possible. Search "Media Solutions" in the market and click "contact developer" to find my email (forum policy: can't post email here).

Thanks a bunch, and OP keep up the great work.

I wonder if builds like this are leaked on purpose by Samsung to either get some feedback or to just give us something to play with or if they are actually leaked by a rogue employee.
[Galaxy S II General] Jonjungle:
officially it would be a rogue employee but in reality it would be sammy themselves. Think about it, what better way to test with the actual thousands of users giving unofficial feedback? :D

Hello, i have a problem with the 3g...

When i copy the bin and lib files in system/ and give chmod 777 /system/bin/rilt and then reboot then i dont have any connection... i dont can tell anyone or go to the internet...i have austria 3 network
[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
I don't think so.

It's home + power takes screens
[Galaxy S II General] LunaNoctis:
I don't think that this is the case. The factoryfs.img did not have a checksum in it (crc32 was set to 00000000). Every rom I've seen from Samsung had a crc32 set. So I think other tools were uses to create the rom image. Unless further roms from Samsung appear with crc32 = 00000000 I think the source of the rom is another like the "usual" leak.

I had to patch my tools to decompress / compress sparse images which I use to modify image files without a complete rebuild of the filesystem, so it is certain than I never stumbled upon such a crc32 null rom.

It seems that after removing the samsung keypad, pinyin ime and twlauncher (I replaced it with nova launcher, which is a modded ics launcher), most of the force closes are gone. You can make the dialer lagless by disabling touch tones in settings. Battery is also alright now, although it won't last as long as some optimized roms we have. Also, my phone has magically stopped overheating.

I started with bezeke rom as a base.

Swyped by Rumble from my awesome Galaxy S 2!
[Galaxy S II General] Donish1786:
i have root explorer and see the efs folder in the root, but nothing is in it. also i cant figure out how to go to recovery mode. download/odin mode is easy, but i cant seem to get into recovery mode. how do i do it?
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
That's your problem then!

Did you create a efs backup before you started flashing anything (like you should have)? If so then copy your backup into the efs folder and reboot :-)

Swyped by Rumble from my awesome Galaxy S 2!
[Galaxy S II General] Donish1786:
possibly, what file extension would the backup be? and how could i copy it to the efs folder if i have no root permissions?
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
You sure you don't have root permissions, wouldn't have thought you would be able to see the efs folder with root explorer if you didn't have root.

Not sure what extension the backup would be, I just copied the entire efs folder onto my computer,i didn't use an app to do the backup.

Sorry I can't be any more help

Swyped by Rumble from my awesome Galaxy S 2!
[Galaxy S II General] razor 116:
@Donish1786 The backup will be either be .tar or .img and if your previous kernel automatically backed up your efs it would be located on your sdcard if not then I'm afraid you have a brick and will need samsung to repair it.
[Galaxy S II General] Donish1786:
would tar file have to be a accustomed backup to my phone specifically or could i get from a stock firmware leak and use that? and if i were able to somehow get that on a sd card and get my phone to read it, what folder and how would i go about the procedure? and would that "jig" be of any conciliation?

Restore your device to stock then use a jig to reset the counter then send to samsung for repair, just say you cannot get any signal they should repair it for you as long as your flash counter is 0 (reset). You can get usb jig's from ebay if you don't already have one.

[Galaxy S II General] jbryce204:
Just a question, sorry if its already been asked...

I've tried this Rom, modem, kernel and csc.(great by the way, it makes me anxious for the official release!)

Now I've flashed back to stock Rom, modem, kernel and csc.

The problem im facing is that when using my reset jig it does not reset.

It has been working flawlessly with other rom's except this one.

No yellow triangle as kernel does match but this is bugging me!

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Search for the galaxy s2 old bootloader and flash in Odin (in the bootloader section. Then use the jig. User intratech has it on his thread in the development section I think. Next time trying ics don't flash the bootloader file.

[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
Yes, USB connection doesn't work yet.

It does work when in cwm though in mounts and storage but perhaps that's only in the Airbus360 version of this ROM. Suggest you flash siyah kernel via Odin if you can't get the USB mount to work via the recovery on this rom.

Good luck!

XXKP4 is still 4.0.1. I dont think Samsung will bump it to 4.0.1 untill they fixed all OS related bugs with TW and hardware.

Then we might see new leak with 4.0.3.

the 'negatives' of a more complete OS

Just installed the latest beta of CM9 ICS and was blown away, ICS is as good as everyone has raved about.

I am both a S2 and 4s user and one of the things I enjoyed about Android / Gingerbread was its 'need' to be customized in terms of apps and flashing different roms......with ICS there is almost no need to do that anymore because it all just hangs and flows well similar to i.. dare I say it.

I guess @ least there is still the choice though if you feel you want to customize more.

Played with 4.0.3 (KP8) for a while and here are my first impressions.

a. Not sure a re-partition is required for 4.0 OS, but I did it anyway

b. Take a backup and format internal memory (not external SD card). Some applications from 2.3.X seems to have issues with existing folder structure

c. Touch Wiz launcher is buggy, especially when it comes to settings (Force close and home screen freeze). Change the launcher as per your wish (I use Go Launcher) and every thing works like a breeze

d. Google talk app does video chat

e. No swype (I use only Swiftkey though)

f. Call logs finally has a only call log option (Message logs was unnecessary)

g. Wifi reception is so-so in weak signals

h. Most google apps are updated

i. The stock Email app force closes even in normal operation

j. Quite stable if you are not in touchwiz launcher

Hello guys, i am new here. :)

I did flash 4.0.3 KP8 (Previous was 4.0.1 KP1)

Here are my results,

Market was really hard to be opened without Wi Fi

Sometimes i was getting reboot by itself without any reason (Maybe while it is thinking quiet much)

My Packet Data was always 3G and i think it was actually not 3G because it didnt move to HSDPA or even EDGE . . . (Simply say: less stable)

Blue Colors on the top are no longer shown there (Then what's special on ICS ?)

Camera, Video were bug which it couldnt be used for awhile but it was ok eventually (And hey where does the Zoom In/Out on ICS ?)

And so i just went back to 2.3.6 XWKK5 and waiting for the true ICS soon :D

I would like to ask what is that re-partition means, like formatting ?

And after i restored from my Google at the beginning after installing, it only works on files folder and how do i get back my installed applications ?
[Galaxy S II General] jayquinten510:
Hi, I have very much enjoyed using ICS on the SGS2 using XXKP8, but it is too unstable for everyday use. I was wondering how i would flash it back to another rom (IE checkrom). Since i had to modify the partitions using a PIT when i went to ICS, do i need to do the same to go back? If so, where do i find a PIT file in a CWM flashable file? Or alternatively, can i just flash it through recovery like i always have?

Thanks

Jay510.
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
I don't believe you needed to re-partition with the PIT file when either going to or coming from this KP8 build. I didn't re-partition and everything worked fine. I did however flash the KP8 CF-Chainfire Root which installs CWM. I then used the CWM app that gets installed with Chainfire Root for KP8 to restore back to my previous ROM without issue.

However after going back to my previous ROM I am back on this again. I know there are a few bugs but I am really liking ICS and look forward to a non-beta firmware in the future
