ICS on Galaxy S2 : new Bluetooth Stack ??

Hi,

I am new galaxy S2 owner and heard about porting the new ICS on our phone.

so my question is : There will be a new Bluetooth Stack in it ? (Expecially for what concern Bluetooth Reverse tethering...BT Pan ...ecc...ecc.)

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] bocautrang.pt:

Touchwiz

I'm pretty gutted by the video released of the Samsung update for the SGSII with touchwiz plastered all over ICS. When you compare it to the clean fresh lines of ICS as on the Galaxy Nexus, then it's a real disappointment.

So far I've resisted ROMs, rooting etc. I went through all that with my windows phones back in the day, but I think I might have to find an ICS for my SGSII without all the Touchwiz stuff. Can anyone give me a little nudge in the direction of which ROM is stable, and a closer reflection of ICS as it is deployed on the Galaxy Nexus.

I was about to buy a 32GB Galaxy Nexus, but now they've cancelled it, a 16GB is no good to me. I just don't understand why google think a 16GB phone is enough to compete with Apple. Their agreement with Samsung should have been for a 16GB, 32GB and 64GB of Galaxy Nexus to be released simultaneously.

I was excited by the possibility of the Galaxy SIII, but am now wondering if they're also going to ruin ICS by plastering Touchwiz all over it ....?

[Galaxy S II General] wonderstoat:
Option to choose would be awesome
[Galaxy S II General] ChrisTough:
When is the exact date?
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
The thing is it the ICS update HAS to look the same as the current Touchwiz	style. A large majority of people who bought the S2 aren't aware of custom rom's, rooting and the AOSP look of ICS. Plenty of people would also have bought the phone because they liked the touchwiz style.

Samsung couldn't suddenly say 'here's your ICS update, oh by the way we've completely changed the launcher so you'll have to reorganise all your widgets and icons and folders, you like the new cyan theme right?'
[Galaxy S II General] Yathi:
What you say is right. But at the same time, you can't deny the fact that ICS is the first time when Android has looked so beautiful! People can get used to change when they get over the initial shock. I still feel Samsung can do some subtle modifications to keep funtionality same or better and at the same time keep the ICS looks.
[Galaxy S II General] Jrhoop:
Correct me if wrong but cant you just install Nova launcher instead of using touchwiz on ics?
[Galaxy S II General] wonderstoat:
Yes, of course you're right. I can understand why the SGSII ICS needs to be pretty much the same in terms of look and feel, but I hope that Samsung take the opportunity to up their game for the Touchwiz element of SGS III. Either by taking a design led approach that reflects the TLC google have given ICS, or by allowing the user to just use Stock ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] SGS2_:
omg, i hope samsung doesn't really use tw for ics

it would just look horrible

they should look at roms like andyx rom for example, they are much better in design then tw :)
[Galaxy S II General] mr mystery:
We won't get TW5 on our GS2, Samsung will save that for the GS3
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Of course we'll get Touchwiz 5......... Once the SGS3 comes out. ;)

The only thing, is what new Samsung will make in TW5, coz ics stock launcher seems very good.
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
we will not get tw5. just like sgs I didn't get tw 4.
[Galaxy S II General] Atomix86:
This is xda developers, of course one of the talented members here well port it over, just as they did with touchwiz 4 on the original G Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S II General] dodgypast:
CheckRom V6 is settling down now and if your hankering after the ICS look then the Domination ICS Theme is very nice.

Checkrom V4 was a great Rom for me in terms of learning about custom roms etc. at some point I might try something more ambitious when I have an afternoon to kill, but in terms of just working it does really well.

/Disclaimer, I haven't tried any others.
[Galaxy S II General] brar.arsh:
No news as of now, it was to come on 1st March??
[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
They actually said in Q1 2012, which ends on March, 31st.
[Galaxy S II General] brar.arsh:
Yes you are correct, but March 1 was hyped too much..

I thought that Samsung doesnt many devices to show in MWC, so they could have one event announcing and releasing ICS for SGS2 existing customers..
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
The March 1st date was pushed by Eldar Murtazin, and then quoted by many other sources. EM is rarely correct on his predictions and gets way too much exposure. He's already claimed to have hands on with the SGSIII but has quoted at least two different sets of specs. He's hoping that one guess is correct so that people remember him as being "right" and forget about his other guess.

The official date has always been Q1/2012. So, unless there is a delay, we'll have it by the end of March.
[Galaxy S II General] Pennywice:
Hoping that samsung has released ics for the SGS2 when i come back from my vacation, could be so awesome with it. But checkrom v6 is so smooth and nice right now, so i dont even know if i want to switch;)

[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
And anyway, that's what custom ROMs are for. And if CM9 actually gets source code from samsung, I'm sure we'll be seeing an AOSP build soon enough.

And to be honest, replacing the touchwiz launcher and keeping touchwiz mods is good enough.
[Galaxy S II General] RorixRebel:
Nova Launcher, Go launcher you can replace it...
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
In samsung I trust, sure I'd love the pure Google application drawer as it's lovely eyecandy, but I'm sure samsung will do a good job with their skin.

Then we're expecting 1 of 2 here:

1-Another beta, and it will be stable for daily usage

2-First release of ICS 4.0.3 (i assure you there will be bugs) and then an update or two to stabilize things then abandon the GS2 :)

[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
Ok I normally don't reply to these types of posts but I feel compelled with this one. When you bought your Galaxy S2 it had Touchwiz on it, you knew this and regardless of whatever AOSP/CM9/Miui build that you're running/could run you realised that Touchwiz is stock and is simply part of buying a Samsung smartphone. Assuming you know anything about Android, which is a pretty fair conclusion seeing as you're on XDA then it would be clear to you that manufacturers skins and porting/updating the OS in general takes time, especially compared to Google Experience/Nexus devices. Therefore a period of wait was to be expected. The ICS source dropped in November, despite the 2.3 to 4.0 jump arguably being the biggest change in UI, features, framework and code Samsung have dedicated themselves to a Q1 release.

Considering the stark differences in Touchwiz and vanilla 4.0 Android I found this to be an understandable and realistic ETA. Now, unless I've hit my head recently I'm pretty sure we've another 30 days left in March. Hell I wouldn't even mind waiting till the end of April if it resulted in a bug free polished release. Regardless, you clearly know that ICS is to be delivered by the end of Q1 and yet throw a tantrum because it's not here yet. Guess what, Samsung sold 20 million SGS2s and chances are, a good number of those don't know an update is forthcoming nor will they particularly care. Samsung want to guarantee a smooth update that won't alienate any current users and certain testing is obviously required.

As for swapping to the GNexus I personally couldn't be happier as you'll probably spout the exact same nonsense once the new Nexus device releases, demanding 5.0 now because of being 'Fed up of Samsung post sale support in terms of service and updates' regardless of the fact that Samsung have been relatively transparent and are yet to pass their deadline. Nexus devices will always get the newest updates first, legitimately at least. Anyone who knew anything about the Android ecosystem knows this and anyone with a shred of intellect would give manufacturers the time required to properly update their devices. Now, put your toys back in the pram and wise up.
