[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Ok.. So here's my question. I emailed your team and submitted a trouble ticket, as subsequently advised after my initial email, regarding the incompatibility with ICS. That was over six weeks ago. In fact the sdk for Android 4.0 has been out even longer than that! So what's the delay? Is there only one coder working on this? Why have Tango, Skype, Fring, et al, been able to release compatible apps before the Galaxy Nexus was even released.. Yet Viber can't..?

I'm asking a serious question, primarily because of how frustrating it is. I'm now stuck using an inferior product (Tango) as a stop-gap, and all I want is Viber to work with ICS already!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctai320:
First, I want to agree with this guy, but then again viber does treat their product with care and quality work so that's why they are that much better. I'm holding off on Ics just because of viber so I understand your frustration. I don't want to use tango cuz it's not great.

2 things.

1) try using fring. It's much better than tango. Tango isn't good quality.

2) thank you for making a great app viber. We are anxious because we are waiting on you. I can only ask that you guys hurry haha.

Edit: but I would still like to know the answer to his question. What is taking so long?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessec168:
missing viber apps on my BM miui :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Thanks for the suggestions. Fring is out of the question for me, as I choose not to support Israeli companies as part of the BDS movement. I guess I'll keep on waiting.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahanddeem:
Ok guys...The guys will come to you again and say :

aware

waiting

development

new ICS code

revamped

new technology

testing

etc ect etc......

several weeks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
I wouldn't want to make any comparisons to other products. I can tell you about ourselves that traditionally, we've always preferred delaying releases until we're much more calm about its functionality and quality, rather than releasing it simply as soon as possible, so we are in line with all the other communication applications who released it since day 1.

This time we might have been a little under-prepared, that's true, but still it is important to note that Andriod 4.x user percentage among all Android users is still very, very low. If we were to follow the "usual" criteria for devoting resources within a company, you would see how that couldn't be our first priority.

However, we are working on it as hard as we can (with more than one coder! haha) and we should have good news soon. I'll keep you posted :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casilan:
It has been almost a month, care to give us some details on the progress?

Is viber going to be available to users of Android 4.x anytime soon?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahanddeem:
it looks like they are still coding for the new system
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
@Casilan,

We have made some serious progress in the past couple of weeks, and the end is certainly in sight.

We still don't have an exact release dates, but we estimate it will take up to several weeks for it to be fully ready and released to Market.

Note that our development team is working around the clock to complete it ASAP. We apologize for the delay, but it's important to understand that it's delayed because we want to ensure that the app is released free of bugs. Stay tuned for news - it's coming soon.
[Galaxy S II General] Daniel_Deega:
So.. what ICS did you choose to flash on your SGS2 ?

KP8 with TW or CM9 ??
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
None neither are finished product and i try them all .

[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
KP8-Looks like killing the ICS(Because of Touchwiz)

CM9-I keep going on it,Not a daily driver now as its unstable...
[Galaxy S II General] kedai:
tested both

keeping kp8 for now, but without tw. opted for kp8 for now coz most features: camera, video works.

later, we'll just see
[Galaxy S II General] rinxas:
Using CM9 and loving it...still beta but stable as f**k and nice battery life. Only issue is the video codec (recording, youtube videos) as for playing videos i use MX video player with SW encoding instead of HW, and plays smooth as a slug sliding on butter!
[Galaxy S II General] DannyDrama:
None. I am a noob that knows his place.

CM9

no aos bug

everything perfect

using it for a week
[Galaxy S II General] liljom:
I can't wait a ROM from luca and team, based on Samsung ICS, but many apps changed to AOSP.
[Galaxy S II General] Prasad:
+1 for CM9! :D A poll, maybe?
[Galaxy S II General] augustofretes:
Although I'm currently using CM9, I'm waiting for the same, the best of TW (like the video codecs) with the best of ICS. That said, I'm loving CM9 (for example, video recording may not be working yet but the camera is ridiculously faster)
[Galaxy S II General] hzr34:
Kp8 less stable for a CM9.

CM9 my daily ron now.
[Galaxy S II General] killall:
CM9 appears to be a bit more stable than KP8 for me at the moment, however as soon as a VillainRom Team release ICS, I'll be using that.
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Yes, lets create pool...

I like cm9, when it have working video de/encode, it will be the best... imho
[Galaxy S II General] GodzZz:
+1 CM9 (as daily rom!)

TW on KP8 suxxs ... ;/
[Galaxy S II General] Gebells:
+1 CM9, using it for a week now and it's stable like hell, fluent, true beauty IM LOVIN IT
[Galaxy S II General] iRa7ar:
I'm using CM9 as my daily rom. BEST ROM I EVER USED! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Ph4ZeD:
Went from CM7 to CM9, really stable, good music volume, the browser is great :) No video yet but otherwise its really sweet. Feel no reason to change!
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
CM9 all the way! It's very fast. I kind of want KL1 but I'll miss ICS in the first 5 minutes. So I'll use CM9 as it doesn't have any killer-bugs.
[Galaxy S II General] richyy74:
+1 CM9

TW was a nice addition in Froyo and Gingerbread but really gives no added funtionality in ICS. CM9 is a much nicer and more polished android experience. I really hated how ICS and Samsung looks mixed in xxkp8. I could have changed launcher etc. but going CM9 is much easier.

[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Waiting for a decent Samsung ics build so the modders can get to it.

For me Samsung base + new launchers (trebuchet etc) suits me. A bit like what Bezke has done with kp8. Ideally one from the Checkrom gang.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] blueseeker:
None. Currently using CM9, but most apps aren't optimized for ICS. I don't like many things in the KP8 Samsung rom compared to a GB one.

Weird bugs and some graphic glitches. Video HW Acc is a no go for 720p+ or youtube.

A custom Samsung GB rom is 50 times smoother and faster. I won't upgrade too soon to ICS for daily use even after an official release. I like my custom GB rom.
[Galaxy S II General] ChriisM:
KP8 with nova launcher. Good enough for a daily!
[Galaxy S II General] diggedy:
Id be using KP8 if its wasnt for the lack of FM radio, thats the main killer for me on both Roms
[Galaxy S II General] screamworks:
CM9 as a daily driver for the past week or two - really stable, and performance is great. Most of the documented bugs don't really effect me (e.g. there's issues with video recording - but I don't do much, if any, so it's not a problem).

Only complaint is probably battery life - med. usage will get me 4-5 hours, tops - but I knew what I was getting into ;)

And I´m quite happy with KP8. (except the bad battery life. The Battery-Tool says it always seems to stay "active"?)
[Galaxy S II General] NZed:
In my experience, i got too much FC with KP8. SO CM9 for now. Missing features (video capture, video playback) isnt something i do on a phone anyways, or not often.

Daily driver for about a week. Havent disappoint.
[Galaxy S II General] binaryanomaly:
Using CM9 since a week now - Rock solid, apart from the known bugs?...
[Galaxy S II General] Howard0210:
have used both and out of the 2 cm9 all the way but although all the controversy i find the airbus360 ics rom smoother than cm9
[Galaxy S II General] cuyong:
waiting for MIUI v4. it will be the best ;)
[Galaxy S II General] -A-P-M-:
CM9. Using it about a week and works great. Not a single FC or reboot, battery life very good, and I prefer stock ICS look. No way I would go back on Gingerbread or TW.
[Galaxy S II General] carloslopescj:
Same here! KP8 is great but dont have that ICS taste. CM9 layout's are simply amazing! :)
[Galaxy S II General] brett174:
Neither. Those of you saying CM9 runs as good as GingerBread based ROM's must be wearing some seriously thick placebo glasses. I tried the latest build and it is no where near as fast or smooth.
[Galaxy S II General] RMonst3r:
CM9 is my daily rom, better battery life than any stock/custom Sammy rom that i've tried.

Not to mention smoothness and notifications(facebook etc) are instant, never delayed.

I can live the small bugs (video playback and recording) since i use my device mainly for communication and browsing. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Li4m79:
This.... also I'm using perfect keyboard too. I have always used swype before but after trying perfect keyboard I won't change it really really works well..... I did have a play about with spb shell 3d too, latest version works well with ics
[Galaxy S II General] override182:
With CM9 launcher on top, i guess yes indeed. I love the customizable pull down notification.. its a must have aside from JKay mod
[Galaxy S II General] gothfebrio:
Samsung ROM for me. I just need the native video call.
[Galaxy S II General] Skyman1:
I have used both of them...

CM9 (experimental) it's more stable than the stock KP8 (beta).

If you can't wait 'till the stable and full version... CM9 is more stable and usable than the BETA STOCK KP8.
[Galaxy S II General] digirat:
I like kp8 but with trebuchet instead of tw: the prettiness of cm9, but with camera and gallery, and other working features of kp8. stable enough to be my daily

what i'm trying to figure out is why everyone wants an ics keyboard instead of swype :P
[Galaxy S II General] dejann:
Hi can you help me with info
[Galaxy S II General] sacmat:
if both become stable i'll make it dual boot ... lolz ...

I must be missing something here - in what way(s) is the pull down customisable? Can you supply a few details please.
[Galaxy S II General] hassanal:
KP8 is giving me battery life 10 hours when idle and the only app installed is facebook
[Galaxy S II General] luizffgarcia:
Can't even compare.

CM9 is way more stable right now, i use it as my daily for 8 days now and i haven't missed one single call, have not seen one single FC.

Course it is still very beta and you will find bugs on the camera and sensors, but it is usable.

Can't wait for the stable version, it will probably be amazing :D

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

The current CM9 is an experimental release my friend, in order to get it working properly you need to read a lot of XDA and experiment a lot. It is not a job for new users...

Once you discover everything you can do to make it work right, it is smooth and stable as hell! Now if you just flash it and start using, you will face battery drain from MTP, calendar sync problems, etc...
[Galaxy S II General] biffroy:
+ 1 cm9... Love it!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Better to create a poll. One loves AOSP, one not, like me.

It's not KP8 I like, but I'd like ICS with TW on it as I believe it would be more stable and properly finished.

Don't like CM, after trying CM 7, I was ....... leave it. Don't wanna try it again at all.

Overall stability and performance what matters to me, I don't like having an awesome feature next to a bug :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] runebinder:
CM9 for me. Don't like what they've done with TW on ICS so far.
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
For

You have a point, for now all good enought works on kp8. Trying this right now, stock version. All works well. Only Sams keyboard annoing after ics... But having in sgs2 really good Camera and wont be able to capture video... Mmmm... Hardware decoding video including avi good point as well...

Sensors work fine.

Yeah, mot so good theme after ics... Hope soon our theme makers will do one for this rom as well

:-)
[Galaxy S II General] shadowofdarkness:
I will be doing a stock based rom due to the fact it will be easier to change the software to look more like ICS, then deal with the fact that codeworkx has zero interest in getting the FM radio to work. Which is a feature I use 40 hours a week.
[Galaxy S II General] penfold99:
KP8

I chose KP8 - like some others here, I just didn't like the missing functionality with CM7 and expect the same level of functionality from CM9, so will not bother unless I see that everything works - then I might try it.

I have removed the TW launcher and use Nova - which is getting pretty regular updates and works just great for me.

I have also removed a load of other Sammy apks and messed with various settings etc to get a stable enough working phone. I don't miss calls, I don't have problems with overheating or bad battery life and I have excellent wifi and 3G, so nothing to complain about here. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] dave2:
I'm waiting for the official ICS update.

Neither feel complete.
[Galaxy S II General] yyhd:
lol, awesome.

im using neither now, but from what i've read and seen i'd prefer CM9 over KP8. TW is just...ew no thx to me.

Once CM9 has video recording stable, i'll definitely flash it on my sgs2! cannot wait.
[Galaxy S II General] terenceleechan:
depends on your usage actually. if you really need video, then kp8. but if you don't need it that much, cm9 is way way better then kp8, more stable and the smoothness factor is significant!!
[Galaxy S II General] _george:
Only tried CM9 so far but im happy with it as a daily.

Will give KP8 a go when i get bored.
[Galaxy S II General] Uvoguine:
I'm waiting for CM9. When it will be stable I'm pretty sure it's gonna be awesome.
[Galaxy S II General] yyhd:
thanks.

it's not that i "need" video, but i do enjoy pulling out the phone to record my son when he does something cute.

yea, based on the screenshots and what users have said, CM9 seems the way to go.

[Galaxy S II General] Makrilli:
CM9 so far I'm loving it. I think it's pretty stable. I flashed it few weeks ago and I haven't experienced any reboots or fc's.
[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
Not sure what they mean by cuatomisable but in MIUI you have a section for notifications and one for toggles on the notification pulldown. You can change the toggles to the full list or a shorter one, but almost everything can be enabled and disabled quickly.

I'm also waiting for MIUI V4. It really will kick a$$.
[Galaxy S II General] jamieyates79:
I just installed KP8 yesterday and it seems fairly stable so far apart from the odd force close from settings.

I haven't had a chance to test properly yet but I suspect the battery life may be poor. Hopefully I can put up with that until they make the next release!
[Galaxy S II General] terenceleechan:
I tried it. It's laggy for me
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
AOSP and therefore CM9 for me. Wouldn't touch anything molested by Touchwiz or any other skin! I agree some stuff Samsung does with TouchWiz is awesome - but I just hate the look.

I remember when I got my SGS2 one of the first things I said was, Wow - no wonder Apple is suing Samsung. It looks almost exactly like an iOS device. :p If I want a Apple device i'll get the real thing Samsung - thanks :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
CM9 for 2 weeks from now. All runs, with the bugs, smooth.

Nova Launcher and Swype are mandatory...

Can´t stand TW! But I miss mass storage and radio fm a lot... and of course battery life (more less 50% from normal... using juice + advanced task killer)!
[Galaxy S II General] sazap10:
neither but i will definitely be using CM9 stable when it is out
[Galaxy S II General] Vash:
Tried both, KP8 is un-usable, mainly due to the gazillion FCs.

CM9 on the other hand is nice and I've kept it, but the lack of video worries me... the moment I need to take a short clip I'm restoring GB :)
[Galaxy S II General] kevnb:
I was using cm9, but it had some serious issues still. When someone calls or texts, the music stops and doesnt start back up. My music apps tend to crash and need reinstalls. Video codecs are all messed up. Random reboots. I guess its to be expected in an alpha release though. On a side note, I dont find any custom rom to be as good as a real rom, Im hoping for a stock ics with trebucket launcher.
[Galaxy S II General] josepetit:
i choose CM9
[Galaxy S II General] hassler:
mostly on KP8, but none of Rom last for a day since some error i encountered

so i decided to stay with Gingerbeard and wait for the official ICS to roll out
[Galaxy S II General] nekoeth0:
I'm amazed with the stability shown in CM9. Granted, I have no video or FM radio, but I use both so little that I prefer not having those over a rather buggy TouchWiz implementation on ICS.

I do wonder what will Samsung do, now that Google wants to enforce a common appearance in ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] sm.vassallo:
Pointless comparing them as neither are finished products and is waste of thread space
[Galaxy S II General] Bibabuzeman:
KP8 or newer official versions because of better quality camera
[Galaxy S II General] DaddyCool08:
Im using westcrisp v 0.4, based om CM9 with KP1 modem.

Works like a charm!

I can defininatly recommend it!
[Galaxy S II General] josephislee:
I'm just going to wait for a rock stable Samsung leak and put Trebuchet or the other (forgot the name) ics launcher on it .

[Galaxy S II General] Atlas1458:
I tried the CM9, but it's unstable for daily use - for me, and my balls:)

Currently I'm on KP8, and testing it.
[Galaxy S II General] ballist1x:
Is KP8 more friendly to the hanging fruit? Does it play the videos?
[Galaxy S II General] Atlas1458:
At first, it was bad - had some problems after install (restart loop...); but now it's pretty good. I can play videos, but some videos have laggs...

Aside from that is pretty good - more stable than CM9.

[Galaxy S II General] valvados:
I'm currently using CM9, and I love it even though it still has some issues. Tried to go back to CM7 but my god is ICS good.
[Galaxy S II General] thracky:
CM9 is my daily driver at the moment. I never really watch video on my phone so not a big deal at the moment. Pretty stable, no showstopper issues that don't have workarounds. (eg. MTP not functioning, transfer stuff using a microsd adapter instead)

I am however using novalauncher and really enjoying that.

I'm hesitant to try KP8 cause I've always hated TouchWiz.
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
I have tried both CM9 and LP2 stock odexed.

Removed all Sami progs, and for now LP2 works Faster. Even browser works faster... Video essential for me, cause I watches movies on my way to office evereday using undeground.

So.. for now CM9 less usable imho. But potentially I will prefer CM9 till now all will be HW accelerated in some time on all builds on ICS :-)

Ps

BTW, battery should be better on lp2... Android is much less use power... again as on GB the biggest power consumption screen, as it should be. Think because far from optimised System in cm9 now.
[Galaxy S II General] datsunboy:
definately prefer stock over CM9.

CM9 to Resurrection 8.3v

CM9 is an excellent piece of work but it is work in progress so there are still stuff that needs to be ironed out like MTP, Video (YouTube) and cute things like battery percentage. When it is done it will be solid with optimised battery use. In the meantime, I am using Resurrection v8.3 another great piece of software. I can connect to my pc, watch youtube and use my GPS with no issues.
