[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
Tried it. Better, no huge cpu issue as in KPA, but still a little choppy/clunky. Titanium backup freezing doesn't work properly. google market restore didn't work (it did in KPA). Some crashes in core google services. Some funnies with data.

I'd promised myself to leave it longer, so went straight back to GB for now. Nice to see the ongoing progress though.

I agree with your comment about TI Backup, having big issues with it too...

I just ran into a big issue and I think it was TI Backup related. I did a restore for some application data and when it was done I rebooted. When I tried to enter my PIN on the lock screen, it kept saying it was invalid. I use the same PIN for months so I know I was putting in the right one, besides that I had been using it all morning. I entered it wrong 7 times and my phone got wiped. Not sure, but my suspicion is TI corrupted something during the restore???

I'm on KK5, need to flash any bootloader before flashing XXLP2??

is XXLP2 jig comptible?
[Galaxy S II General] RLP06:
If you go into the settings for the Samsung Keyboard for the first time, it'll force close and for some reason next time you use the keyboard it is QWERTY again, and the settings button works.

I guess this is good for people who don't like the Swype keyboard.

Personally, I'm going to use the Gingerbread Keyboard from the market. I'm not a fan of the settings button where the comma should be!

Three issues:

CF-Root kernel gives me root, but CWM app doesn't recognize the kernel

[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I had the first problem when I tried to make a custom rom. I believe it was because the ROM was somehow too big and thus some important files didn't get flashed. When I flashed the stock firmware with Odin (not Mobile Odin) followed by CFROOT I didn't have this problem.

Right. I've been using the latest release for the last 24 hours and only had one soft reboot. My problem now is that all my contacts have gone.

[Galaxy S II General] beeboss:
Hello people! I believe all of us heard that google restricted manufactures to push ics on their devices without saving original holo interface. So there is a thing I do not catch : Sammy is now very active in porting ics and in last builds we can see that they are close enough to finish , but we don't see any sign of Holo in these betas , so how they are going to release it without testing ??? They can't just add it in final built I believe, can they?... so I have a very bad feeling about these....

[Galaxy S II General] Ham_Danhuis:
Noticed that my USB jig no longer resets the counter / gets rid of the yellow triangle. Interesting.
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
That's due to the newer bootloader used with the latest ROMs from Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] woody_2k:
I'm not going to flame you (i'll let someone else do that).

ICS roms also have a new bootloader. When you hear people saying they are flashing an old bootloader that is so they can reset the counter to 0 and remove the triangle. Your usb jig doesn't work with the new bootloader (samsung figured it out)

...or purchase chainfires mobile odin and then you never have to worry about the download count again :)

But yes, backup ICS ROM, then restore an older one (prior to KK5 as I think that was first I noticed no longer reset), remove the download count, restore ICS rom.

Interesting though, I ran into trouble installing the previous leak as I had accidentally unticked to inject root in mobile odin, so, I had to root via pc odin again. Did so, got the triangle, plugged in the jig and it worked...

[Galaxy S II General] lonathe:
the holo interface is still included. However it's only an option for app developers, and Samsung has no obligation to use it for their own ui.

You can see it in most 3rd party apps. (e.g. swipepad). Currently only the stock proprietary apps use the touchwiz ui framework.
[Galaxy S II General] mobs84:

I have M250K and flash LP2. It's save and smooth.
[Galaxy S II General] z3r0n3:
Had two random reboots but it's relatively stable, didn't had random reboots without doing nothing or my phone getting really hot. Remember the stability of my HTC Desire with early versions of CyanogenMod 7.

Samsung screwed up the Maps sign and you can't update the application without deleting /system/app/Maps.apk, but it's a simple fix and it's a leaked ROM anyway.

It's very smooth too, it truly remember the smoothness of my iPad 2 now. Using it with Nova Launcher, since TW still doesn't support rezising of the widgets from Honeycomb/ICS yet (and this is a must, since some widgets like Reader and Gmail have completely strange default sizes).

The Media Scanner on ICS is very picky, had to format both my internal and external sdcard because when I tried everything that uses the Media Scan (Gallery, Camera, Music Player etc) it would simple close with the message "The Media Scanner is running". I even went back to Gingerbread to see if is a issue with my SD card but it worked normal (without the need to format).

I didn't think TouchWiz is really that ugly with ICS, except maybe the notification bar. But yeah, AOSP ICS is better and more consistently, though Samsung can't simple replace the whole UI on a update (it would hurt the user experience).

I liked the new lockscreen, it's way better than the Gingerbread version and I hope they didn't come back like they did on Power Off menu (I liked the three buttons for Sound state, but they removed on this build). The new way to unlock doesn't need so much movement from my finger like on Gingerbread, and the Missed calls/Message notifications is way better. And the new Weather Notifications is a nice adition.

Can't say much about the battery, it drained relativery fast (52% on 5 hours) but I do know the cause thanks to BetterBatteryStatus: Imo and Gtalk started to dispute who would login on my Gtalk account and they did a lot of wakelocks. I will try to disable Imo to see if the consumes stabilizes.

It will be my daily driver until it becomes really unstable (KP8 started pretty stable but after sometime it started to reboot almost every hour) or a new build appears, but I'm liking the ICS and can't really use Gingerbread anymore.

P.S.: I saw someone saying that you can use the USB Mass Storage to sync, but didn't saw any options at all. I understand why Samsung prefers MTP but since Linux didn't support MTP very well it would be nice to have the option to use UMS sometimes.

Been running LP1 and/or LP2 for over 24 hours now, and have to say this is the first ICS ROM (including CyanogenMod) which has lasted more than a couple of hours on my phone.

So far on LP2, battery life is *acceptable* (not up to the standards of KL1 with Syah kernel) and can be stretched out to almost a day... I'm getting VERY HIGH Android OS usage though, so may reflash in a bit just to check that...

I've only found one way to crash TWLauncher on this build - that is to remove an application using the little minus (-) icon when editing application order. What happens is TW becomes unresponsive to scrolling or selecting and needs to be force closed in App manager. Once you've done that though, it restarts correctly.

Premium accounts (push notification as it's now called) in Email / Social Hub don't work - the phone / social hub servers never find the account info; but "normal" IMAP accounts seem to work fine.
[Galaxy S II General] sahilkhurana:
1. It doesn't show the famous yellow triangle or increment your custom rom counter. So I guess it is not gonna void your warranty.

2. It is multi language but I am not sure about Dutch as I am currently not running it..

My suggestion to you would be to wait for a stabler ROM which is not far from a release.

OMG, this is very frustrating reboot bug.. I installed many apps, so some of them are installed in SD Card automatically by Android.

ICS still has infinite reboot bug when many apps are installed in SD Card.. This happens since 2.3.5 update, 2.3.4 is no problem. This is big side effect problem.

You can try move as many apps to SD Card, then finally you will got infinite reboot.
