[Galaxy S II General] Silberpfeil3110:
I have also downloaded and tested the current cm9 alpha and i have to say that is build is awesome... aybe here and there soe little lags, but under heavy usage and after two hours, i had no fc's, everything ran more or less smooth... ics is really great, so much features i missed before... its a masterpiece really...

maybe there are some small things that have to be done, but i would say if you are one of those unpatient sgs2 users, you can start using this rom for daily use.

also in my opinion its good because you hace enough time to reinstall all apps from gb, and do the whole personalizing-thing, because you can keep the data partition for further updates alive, what means if the stable version is out, you can immediately enjoy pure android love with everything you want and need.

i will go back to my nandroid gb because i miss jkay mod very much ^.^
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
Im on stock, and tried installing using power on and volume up pressed. Not rooted or have clockwork installed. All i would like to see is the voice echo issue gone!

[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
The instructions are install via ODIN .

It works that way and also works in older builds .

But Modem is part of the PDA package and should not need a separate install .

Via CWM /Recovery requires rooted CWM Kernel first .

[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
So if i do it via odin night won't need root? Will i be able to revert to previous modem?

sent from t'internet
[Galaxy S II General] Phone_Guru:
If you use ODIN you never need root. You asked for a tar or a CWM file. I provided a CWM file. You should know that you need CWM for it to work. You can always revert using ODIN.

My phone got very hot when using 3g data. any one has this issue?

otherwise everything in KP8 is good. Bugs are there like itehappy said lock screen is not consistent and facelock is force closing ,
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
What the diff between KP8 and latest CM9

Does KP8 have more things working currently?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
If I am reading all the users post correctly then, yes, this KP8 is less buggy and more stable/fast than CM 9. You've try both to see by yourself though.

I am not interested in that CM stuff anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Cheers.

Shame it doesnt have the AOSP look
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
That was a good long test of battery life not even giving battery time to calibrate itself .

[Galaxy S II General] lonathe:
on the contrary, mine has been excellent. 100% when I flashed KP8. 10 hours later with extremely heavy usage (over 5.5hrs screen on time) and I'm down to 40%. Could probably last a little over 2 days with a normal use case.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
You can't expect AOSP looks with TW (Samsung).

I like TW btw.
[Galaxy S II General] myshu:
using trebuchet launcher you can't set any widget , probably it needs the CM9 framework.

face unlock makes the phone crash in settings :) and even if you manage to make it save , it won't load the camera into the lockscreen.

also if touchwiz launcher crashes , it doesn't restart on it's own .. you need to get into settings and stop it
[Galaxy S II General] qsec:
Try Nova launcher, works quite nice. It look just like ICS stock but have more settings than Trebuchet.

[Galaxy S II General] myshu:
i'm installing it right now.

seems the appdrawer widget stuff doesn't work unless the app is installed as a system app instead as a regular app :D

LE: installed nova from recovery since the CWM app won't do it :)

it's working just awesome , everything works just fine :)

also used the faceunlock.zip from CM9 thread to fix the stock one.

seems some remote settings in the menu make the settings crash , but we'll live with it for a week or so untill a new leak emmerges ;)
[Galaxy S II General] xethor:
Meh, I've flashed millions of PITs without error. It only gets problematic when you are dealing with flashing roms from different devices (i.e. i9100 rom on at&t).
[Galaxy S II General] deathst:
Face Unlock will work if you flash the faceunlock.zip from CM9.

Make sure you remove any lockscreen first then you flash the file.

See it works XD
[Galaxy S II General] myshu:
notice : if you root using CWM , don't use data wipe from recovery :)

did that once i had the faceunlock.zip from cm9 and it stopped working no matter what i did or how many times i reinstalled it :)
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
Anyone else getting a force close if you got to Browser >settings >advanced ?

here is link for some extras like Nova launcher and magic locker to get the full ICS look
[Galaxy S II General] dattrax:
the screenshots on the front page show a different lockscreen than me. Where they captured after the lockscreen was installed from CM9?

For as much I love Stock compared to CM7, I feel Samsung has dropped the ball in here, the Contacts, Gallery, Calendar should all have been changed to the superior AOSP ones.

I haven't found any reason that would keep someone from using this as a daily. I probably will. My youtube doesnt work and my external sd card wont mount but hardly major issues. Phone, sms, and overall data connection is fine, what else do you need?
[Galaxy S II General] kiz1983:
Mine can play youtube. So far so good except for the slight lag when doing extensive task
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Nope, but a big step forward to the Final release.

Overall system stability.

It actually depends on how you are using it, the way I use it, that is for my working purpose I can't stand it, no one can unless he/she uses this device just for fun.

The release XXKP8 is quite stable so far. Experienced users can use it as a daily driver, only a few flaws left.
[Galaxy S II General] Vaim:
Is CM9 already based on these drivers etc?

Because i tried the latest CM9 and went back to MIUI 30 minutes later.

I don't know how you guys define lag, but the whole interface was laggy all the time.

Going to the app drawer, flipping through screens. Every time i started scrolling screens, the first scroll was laggy.

Same with launching apps and the app drawer. Very laggy for the first use and then mostly okay, when you subsequently used it again. (And laggy again if i hadn't opened it for like 3 minutes)
[Galaxy S II General] TheSvender:
I have had a few random reboots and a few apps that F.C constantly with KP8
[Galaxy S II General] :
I think ril problems not solved 100 %, becouse many others not have the reboot problems :-(
[Galaxy S II General] more2come:
Yeah... And battery drain is extremely high from time to time, lost about 30% over night (~7 hours). Maybe related to some new WLAN settings.

SLOW SCROLLING
[Galaxy S II General] more2come:
If you remove the first and third option in advanced settings of WLAN, battery drain disappears. Just like I thought.
[Galaxy S II General] mimahitna:
Hi friends, I previously used the KL1 rom. KP8 I installed with odin-I select CSC, CODE-PDA, MODEM and pit file. After installation, I did vipe dalvik cashe and storage and then formatted and internal SD memory. After booting the battery is drained for 15 minutes and then I turned to the end. There have been 3-4 rebouts for 2 days and going to 2-3 times a day just to remain on the screen background image disappears and everything else. In this situation I have to do soft reset and then everything is ok. Battery life is great, after intensive use, the battery lasted 1.5 days which is 20% better than KL1 rom. Sound quality during a call is 50% better than the KL1 and all programs work well-you-tube, browser, sms, gmail, gmaps, facebook, Twitter, Google +, wi-fi and many others. The more time passes the system more stable and better so I'm very, very pleased with this Rom. I miss only widgets for weather that I had before. I do not like TW but better to have a TW with ics than not have ics.

Greetings from Serbia.
[Galaxy S II General] Pat123:
True. This is the first thing I noticed too. It is slow but smooth (ala iOS). But this is how ICS is designed, so I guess we have to live with it. I hope that with due time there will be a hack to make the List views scroll like they did in GB.
[Galaxy S II General] SmilerOnline:
I am liking the new dock mode screen now it has an accuweather widget below the time & date, although I am a little dissapointed that it only works when you have gps enabled and it will only display the weather for your current gps location...

the new dock idle mode displays the default dock modes background/wallpaper (the blue one - even if you have changed the dock modes wallpaper) with just the time & date in white text (the text moving around the screen like the old dock idle modes text)
[Galaxy S II General] oreggin:
Laggy me too. I hope it will fixed soon...

I have noticed that I can't take screenshots like I could in previous GB builds...

That's an unknown problem and no one mentioned it till you! I, also didn't have it.

Make sure you've flashed it correctly.

And yes, the Home button does become unresponsive in times, common and expected in a Beta I guess.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifo171:
you don't need to turn on unknown sources. pull out the battery, put it in, don't turn on the phone, in flashtool click on flash-> choose the file you want to flash, pc will tell you that you need to hold back button and conect the phone. do it

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbts25:
FlashTool don't need Unknown sources and USB debugging to be turned on. It is only info what you need to do after flashing when phone boots up.

Do you have flash drivers installed?

Try to turn off your antivirus if you have it installed.

Can you try reinstall it on another computer?

I got the XYBoard 8.2 yesterday, and really find it difficult to understand why, instead of figuring out ways to unlock and root this device, I've only found people *****ing about what makes the Xoom soooo much better.
