KP8 or KP4??
[Galaxy S II General] Subbie171:
Disappointed to see the old camera and phone interface.

Browser doesn't lag here (force 2d acceleration turned off), but it seems scrolling has changed (looks like it's a feature, not a bug)

Mediascanner goes nuts on my external SD, unmounted it for the time being and phone went to deep sleep and stopped getting hot.

Swyping left or right on the task list doesn't seem to kill any tasks for real, they still seem to be running under settings - apps
[Galaxy S II General] slikr:
Is KP8 ready for everyday use? TIA
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
ran nenamark2, no banding issue(atleast in nenamark)

I came from i9100JPKJ2, and CSC XSG, when installed this rom, tried to change the CSC through *#272*IMEI#, however no CSCs are listed at all, can anybody please confirm this? event coming back from any CSC?
[Galaxy S II General] IakobosJ:
Turned all the vibration off and touch sounds in the system and ive had no force closes since, could be nothing but.... Working great for me now :)
[Galaxy S II General] alteregon:
what is about a matching .pit file for 2.X?

since i got my sgs2 in may, i never ever used a .pit file.

but the kp8 isntructions say "use it". it seems to work for everybody so i feel safe. but dont you have to restore that also?

TIA, alteregon.
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
def not usable. constantly freezes for me
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
Can report the following goodies derived from ICS:

- ICS apps (gmail, books, map, youtube, etc. No calendar though)

- began the ICS menu-like interface (does not have resizable widget feature yet)

- new contacts app (similar to "people's app in the ICS)

- Facebook app integration works!

- no swype installed (works though - when u install it urself)

- holding power now allows for silent, vibrate, and regular

I'll update more as i see. =)
[Galaxy S II General] mimahitna:
They works great for me...few FC but after restart-everything is ok.

No weather widget in kp8 ?

Happy New Year !!!
[Galaxy S II General] Farkonian:
KP8: Exchange Active Sync Email was flakey for me - lots of FC and freezes.

The web scrolling didn't seem so mach laggy as just not properly calibrated... it moved smoothly, but it didn't move as much as it should have... like the sensitivity was too low?

Since I need Exchange support I am back to CM7 for now.

Happy New Year!!
[Galaxy S II General] j3poysy:
Here are my observations:

- Scrolling seems to be way different (There seems to be a slight delay).

- Banding issue.

- Quadrant fps locked to 30 (except for first test).

- Lockscreen wallpaper change = force close

- Change font (3rd party: segoe) = bootloop

- Old gallery/camera app.

Can we use one of the ICS CF-Root kernels to get root and then flash back the stock kernel to keep root?

Romanian Language

Does this official rom have preinstalled romanian language pack?:)
[Galaxy S II General] sardroid:
There is Romanian language:-)
[Galaxy S II General] fighter_foo:
Agree with the points you pointed out.

Data is not working most of the time ... Phone gets hot all the time

Will try to flash KP9 and see how it goes ...

Where can i find KP9?
[Galaxy S II General] Amrael:
Will try this mix too, was thinking about it after getting rid of samsung Hubs and SNS apks since they were the culprits for most of the crash after flashing LP2(will be KPA-CFRoot in my case).

If i get rid of the hazardous issue with data, this will definately be my daily driver since everything I throw at it for now works.
[Galaxy S II General] bubblebob:
So you mean flash a kernel from the previous together with the PDA,CSC & MODEM from LP2?
[Galaxy S II General] sebarkh:
I went back (or moved forward) to LA2 after 3 days of heavy usage. I did it mainly for comfort and speed of highly polished 2.3.6.

But we're close to the final product...

Sent from...
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
no.. just flash the kernel will do... do not flash the PDA, CSC or modem... JUST KERNEL.....

you can find the KP9 kernel bundled inside KPA rom download... (dont ask me where to get the KPA rom cos its on the first page and all over the whole xda site)
[Galaxy S II General] sanik90:
my phone restart regularly when I flash to this ICS, is there problem with CF-Root or else?
[Galaxy S II General] m0ngstr0us:
Same! Tried it for a few hours and phone sibey hot! LOL! Not for everyday use. Great write up. I had the same problems but just too lazy to report as its just Beta. ;P

wifi not working

Wifi is not working

I have followed all the instructions but still wifi does not seems to work for for me.

Is there any thing else that I need to do.......
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
Finally stabilized LP2. Deodexed version.

Very happy with it as a stable daily. I like cm9 too and it looks great but this has more going for it if you spend the time to make it stable.

Definitely had to flash the KP8 kernel to fix. With LP2 kernel the wakelocks were crazy. Data connection was unreliable and rebooting was a problem.

Also have to freeze all the usual bloatware like the sns apps etc also.

Basically have no unusual wakelocks.

Hope you guys get to this point with LP2 aswel.

Now onto theming to get the full ics look on the TW framework.
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
Sibeh hot meh? mine running cool leh!!! i think hor, u better remove the sammy bloatware la.... so far i'm not having any issues with heat... granted, the phone does get hot when u use it... but if u put it one side on idle, its cool leh...

but then hor, now weather very hot!! walking around with the phone outside, of course phone will get hot also la....

now my problems are almost non-existent.... so far its been very stable on me... jus remember to clear dalvik cache after u remove the sammy bloat...
[Galaxy S II General] alugava:
no comments about the lockscreen and menu off?, here keystr fix works?
[Galaxy S II General] m0ngstr0us:
Hahaha yah weather very bad! Ok cool! Noted with thanks! ;D
[Galaxy S II General] mick_novi:
Great, but...

The xxlp2 is a great firmware. I didn't experiance any major bugs so far (been using it for the past 3 days). However, I get browser forecloses often, and also wakelock is the same as it was in gingerbread (about 1,5 sec which is pretty annoying). IMO the battery life sucks... I've seen people say how their battery life is great, so this might only be me... Data and wifi were working form the beggining with no problems whatsoever.

To conclude, I can't wait for the final (official) release of the ICS. I hope they fix those bugs, and also fix the wakelock problem.
[Galaxy S II General] flydev:
to use the kp8 kernel should i flash the kernel on the OP and cf-root after or just cf-root kp8?

also, i need to wipe or just clear dalvik + cache it's enough?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] fighter_foo:
How to remove sammy bloat ... ? New to GS2 ...

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
I just downloaded the KP8 cfroot kernel from chainfires thread and flashed using Mobile odin. No wipe etc.
[Galaxy S II General] flydev:
hey, thanks a lot for the quick reply

one more thing ... i have removed all the samsung software from system/app

if i flash cf-root all this stuff will come back again right?
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
u need to first root the phone... with CF-root... then u install root explorer... then go to /system/app and start removing all the crap.... lol...
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
So just to be clear, if I download and flash e.g.

CF-root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KPA-v5.2-CWM5.tar

will this fix the data network issue ??

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] armanderli:
People were rather refering to this one :CF-root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KP8-v5.2-CWM5.tar...
[Galaxy S II General] Luigi_2:
thanks, mate!
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
To be honest, i am using KP9 kernel now... cos i cant find KPA stock, and my attempts at creating a KPA kernel package for odin has failed... KP9 works for me... KP8 works for some.. u should experiment and try which one works for you...
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
Thankyou

I flashed KPA - didn't work and have just seen your reply and I flashed KP8 kernel, now working great.

Many thanks, now I can keep using ICS :-)

Happy bunny
[Galaxy S II General] LocutusEstBorg:
Same. I have a 100% wakelock with ActiveSync configured on XXLP2. I've reverted back to 2.3.6, where it wakelocks for 30mins every few hours. Either way Exchange battery life is terrible on Android. I'm considering moving BACK to Google Apps.
[Galaxy S II General] fighter_foo:
IC. Thanks.

Flashed KP9 kernel and data seems to work well now. :D
[Galaxy S II General] flydev:
anyone had any kind of problems with external sd cards?
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
No it's just the kernel only.

Not having any problems with external sdcard here either.
[Galaxy S II General] DuperMan:
YES!

It's really weird... I can't write to it with any file explorer app but I'm pretty sure the media players have no problem accessing it. Gonna try to wipe caches and define the CSC properly then see if the problem persists.
[Galaxy S II General] doom13:
does anyone have problem with bluetooth on XXLP2 or just me?? keep repeat disconnecting when display sleep.. im using samsung sbh500 bluetooth stereo headset..
[Galaxy S II General] MikeMaMan:
Just SENT a game via BT. screen went black but transfer wasn't interrupted.
[Galaxy S II General] el_charlie:
Just a quick question.

How can I flash THIS version without wiping my data???

I'm flashing my friends S2 and she already has KPA and she doesn't want to install everything again. Don't mention Titanium Backup or stuff. She doesn't even want to set up the device again.

When upgrading from KP8 to KPA I tried partially restoring her nandroid but CMW threw an MD5 error. In fact, I couldn't even restore her nandroid complete. She doesn't have and phisical SD. Her backups are stored on the internal SD card.

My plan is to restore only the /data partition and then wipe dalvik cache and /cache partition to avoid restorin trash from the previous ROM. The system partition will be new.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] doom13:
seem only bluetooth headset had a problem disconnecting.. some of custom room with XXLP2 base has same problem.. sigh..

[Galaxy S II General] flydev:
i see a strange behavior.

when i wake up the phone (and the screen turns on) with the home button, the last used apps dialog (with the task manager button on the bottom) appears.

this is more obvious when you have disable the lockscreen from settings -> security

anybody seen this?
[Galaxy S II General] Nefret90:
It works but lags somethimes and restarts the phone gui but not asking for pin code after restart. The camera works somethimes and just starts up and closing the next. Seems ok but not stable as good to use permanenet. I think ill be going back to Gb.
[Galaxy S II General] loverhime:
I don't use stock music app.I only use player pro plus. Haha
[Galaxy S II General] MikeMaMan:
Yep, i noticed this as well. I didn't see it in the beginning, but later on it appeared even without any apps in it. Just Task Manager bottom in the bottom left corner.

And i flashed KP8 to fix data.. kernel from KPA (it was KPA) didn't helped me. And i couldn't find KP9.

Is there any possiblities to add Norwegian to this Rom ? Or download a language trough ics?

Btw, i want ask a newbie question here, how to remove the yellow triangle after i root the CF file? Can some1 teach? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
DIE NEWBIE DIE!!!!! i'm jus kidding...

to remove that yellow triangle, there are 2 methods:

1. Flash with the original stock kernel that came with the ROM package... (STOCK, not the CF-Root)

2. Flash the old bootloader (can be found on intratech's page) and use the USB jig to reset the counter plus remove the triangle...
[Galaxy S II General] henrylhp:
oh!! okay, haha, thanks. but, where are the old bootloader actually? sorry, cant get it. And, i dont have the usb jig.

I just know that, there's a bootloader at the odin. haha.
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
If you dont have the jig, the old bootloader is pretty much useless.... ur best bet would be to use the stock kernel from the original package you downloaded....
[Galaxy S II General] henrylhp:
Thanks for the replied man. Appreciated. But too bad then, i cant rooottt my phone. Haha. Flashed it to the stock kernel already. Waiting for the newer version! The lp2, facebook cant comment or like, and at the network operator selection, have error. LOL, beside that, i think it's okay for use.
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
what is the best kernel/ modem for XXLP2 ROMs. I went back Kl1 modem as KLP1 was causing 3g to go down when mobile goes to deep sleep and only a reboot can fix this. it was fine on Kl1 modem for a day and now it has resurfaced. any solutions?
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
It's not the modem it's the kernel. Flash XXKP8 kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
This is my combination:

PDA: XXLP2

PHONE: XXLP1 (it comes with XXLP2 btw)

CSC: OXALP2

KERNEL: XXKP9 (bundled in the download package for XXKPA)

So far no major issues other than the rare occasional hiccups with bluetooth... but i dont use bluetooth much for file transfer... so no major issue...
[Galaxy S II General] SilentHunter316:
Can any one tell me how to change the lock screen wallpaper ? ;)
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:

[Galaxy S II General] manimans:
Hi,

Hows the battery life on KLP2?
[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
Yes I have noticed that. About 4 hours to flat and gets VERY hot!

Also is there a fix for the WiFi issue yet? Works, doesn't work, sometimes works, Settings crash, works, doesn't work, lol
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
You might have a runaway process because Im getting great battery life and no over heating.

All ive done is freeze all the usual bloatware and flash KP8 kernel because LP2 kernel was causing bad data connection and making my phone stay awake. Ie: battery drain. Now all good.
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:

[Galaxy S II General] eltorio:
:mad:Hi everybody,

there is (at least) 2 bugs in XXLP2

- rSAP (remote SIM Access Profile) does not work at all

- when using WPA2-Entreprise-AES EAP/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 (and probably other EAP combination) in multiple access point environment . the phone never connect to access points wich do not broadcast there SSID

The second bug is not bloquant for me but the first is bloquant since I can't use my phone car kit. So I'll go back to GingerBread!!!

But except this 2 bugs this release is very usable.

Beside the small problems, my biggest headache is the VPN connection.

I have reinstalled ICS 4.0.3 several times, and tried with original Kernel or CF Kernel. But up to now, no luck to get VPN working.

Each time I was unable to connect to VPN, I have tried both PPTP and L2TP/IPSec PSK which works well on PC or GB2.3.6. or HC3.2

It shows timeout or unsuccessful.

So I'm back on GB.

That's the deal breaker for me!

In all these Samsung beta ICS builds, my S2 starts to overheat like crazy for no reason. Even if I don't use it or just fiddle with the home screen or even just keep it on a table, within several minutes it becomes really hot.

Never faced this problem with Gingerbread.

I just made a backupof my phone,.. after that the notification bar started to do weird and phone rebooted itself 3 times... back to cm9 for me untill there is a newer official rom out,.. and yes i prefer original. lol
[Galaxy S II General] TechNoir:
Ehh, well, since it's a beta build not intended for public use, it will have issues. Overheating generally means the cpu is working overtime for some reason. Try an app from market that will show cpu usage per app, kill any app behaving badly.

Other than that, wait till Samsung releases a fw they deem issue-free. :)
[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
Well I bit the bullet and went back to GB backup.. sadly as I didn't want to, but the WiFi thing, a few Bluetooth car kit issues and just couple of random bugs I couldn't live with for work purposes, necessitated the move back.

It's oh so close though, can't wait to try the next build :-)
