I'm getting that problem with the face unlock as well. Has happened twice and required a restart as the screen is unresponsive. I think it may be something to do with the camera driver as it is a tiny bit slow at opening and then doesn't open at all.

Face unlock does work but it does depend on the lighting conditions and 95% of the times that it fails, it falls back successfully to, in my case, a pattern unlock.

I would say, this isn't a big issue as otherwise things are running well.

*************************

MY THOUGHTS.

I installed the samfirmware.com files with Odin and then CF-root. I flashed the old bootloader and then used a usb jig to reset counter and remove triangle. I then did a factory reset and proceeded with getting more ice cream goodness added.

I used ClockWorkMod to install the APN settings from here...

https://plus.google.com/u/0/118115934240414074278/posts/WhPCSQJHbF2

I then downloaded Trebuchet.apk

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1413803

I used Titanium Backup Pro to remove a few system apps to free up space on the System ROM so I could install the Trebuchet.apk

I also restored all my apps with Titanium Backup Pro.

Unfortunately there are a couple of casualties.

Opening Facebook settings crashes app - it freezes.

KiesCast, the awesome new Pod and Video Cast app from Samsung no longer installs :-( back to Google Listen.

ES File Explorer can't seem to copy files to the external sdcard ??

I used ES File Explorer (write permissions to system enabled in settings) to copy Trebuchet.apk to system/app

Much better than Nova as there is no need of virtual buttons with a SGS2.

I also freed up even more space in the System Rom and installed the Windmill and Seashore Live Wallpapers but unfortunately they make homescreen swiping laggy so I have got rid of them for now.

Sound quality is very good. Top end is still a bit raspy but that's just the distortion, can make things sound bright, but artificial.

Camera and video recording working fine, 1080p video recording doesn't have zoom and is restricted in FOV wheras 720p has 4x zoom and wider FOV.

I played 9mm by Gameloft, working well and played some 1080p video that I have recorded with the camera from previous firmware and they are playing fine.

The browser can now be closed, there is a (-) even if you have one tab open. Print support is still limited to Samsung printers !!! So annoying as they don't make inkjet printers !!! Argh!

Screenshot support is better, hold vol down and power button for a second.

Youtube working great, nice new look.

Only issue so far is the wifi has tripped up when starting the phone, but otherwise I have been streaming, downloading etc. all without problems, no reconnections etc. The signal strength for the mobile network is not working.

Overall, this is a keeper. No major issues, getting rid of twlauncher is great!
[Galaxy S II General] ermacwins:
So is this the best ICS rom to date? Video rec and youtube working?
[Galaxy S II General] Sword Fish:
I would say yes, all video and youtube working.
[Galaxy S II General] Rollies77:
About ES File Explorer not being able to write to external_sd, I got the exact problem. Only Root Explorer can do the job properly. So I enabled write system in ES File Explorer settings and edit platform.xml located in /system/etc/permissions/ using ES Note Editor. Under WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE I added <group gid="media_rw" /> so it would look like this...

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
[B]<group gid="media_rw" />[/B]
</permission>

After reboot I can normally write to external_sd.

Now, on another story, I can't seem to restore my XXKL1 backup from CWM. It says MD5 mismatch. Any idea how to resolve this without flashing everything back through Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] sebarkh:
In Facebook app or in mobile fb website in browser, the button to add a comment/like doesn't work... Strange...
[Galaxy S II General] starfarer:
1) signal bar always on full

2) after 2g it fails to switch to 3g although still displays 3g/H. Also changed radio to older KI4 and still the same. Need reboot for internet until calls are received (switches to 2g again).

Edit: yeah definitely mobile data keeps disconnecting and takes a while before it can connect again.

Apart normal operations seems ok.
[Galaxy S II General] heara:
hello, after 3 hours no problems with all my aplications instaled, opera, facebook, skype, tubemate, torch, whatsapp, tango, yahoo messenger, market, swipe, speedtest. no problems with signal and data, few voice calls and everything is ok, so im gonna keep this rom
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
It is a decent build. I wouldn't say it is the best though. It has a variety of issues. Although the browser scrolling seems to be fixed, the 3g network still has its issues. It stops connecting after an idle period and the only way to fix it is flight mode.

Desktop scrolling has a highly visible lag. Which even exists after a restart.

Alarms and basic phone features work flawlessly.

The phone does not heat up like before(now I don't know what I'm gonna do when it gets cold)

Battery... Well no comments yet.

BOTTOM LINE. this is still not worthy of a daily driver. Especially for someone who needs internet on th go. For those who have wifi connection everywhere, it can be used as a daily driver.
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
I cannot solve the Market issue, no matter what I try.

I've reflashed, factory reset, cleared everything, still, the Market will not connect, but everything else works.

Going back to GB.

[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
Tried it, but the problem persists.

This version is faster than the other, however.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
pros

* auto sync works

* market works

* music apk with multi dpi works

* youtube v 3.33 looks nice.

* gallery from samsung apps works gr8.

* 1080p playback works for most file formats.

cons

* media scanning takes more time in the begining

* thumbnails in video app goes back to beginning after returning back from playback.

some tweaks

* change the window and transition animation scale to 0.5 to get a much responsive feel and for speed.
[Galaxy S II General] ImpheOtus:
That's right! Pretty easy and straightforward :D

Thanks! I'm gonna try that.

Edit: It does feel snappier! I'll keep it like that :cool:

Damn, could it be your carrier?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
you will experience homescreen lag until the media scanner completes scanning
[Galaxy S II General] kedai:
What I did:

Clear data and reboot.

Or get the latest market
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
My apn is correct and my data is working, so I'm really stumped.
[Galaxy S II General] mr_dinosaur:
VPN?

Has anyone successfully connected to a VPN? If so, did you have to do anything in particular to make it work?

It'd be a shame if there is no way to fix it right now because it runs pretty well for me otherwise.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II General] emze:
no my friend. it is not due to the scanning. it occurs every time. even after i clear the memory. i am currently on tw launcher. i am going to switch to adw ex.

some one, somewhere mentioned that i should change the modem to KI8 and the internet disconnection will not happen. now, should i change the CSC?

where can i get the modem links?
[Galaxy S II General] seghier:

[Galaxy S II General] leoni1980:
I love these regular leaks from Samsung but it still amazes me that they haven't thought to fix the signal bar issue. Maybe they are leaving the build like that with their full release so that Samsungs always have the best signal! Also there's still the glitch of the cellular radio completely disappearing if you boot while connected to AC

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

You'll get mercilessly flamed with questions like that. Even Samsung don't know their official release date so you can bet your ass that no-one on here will know.
[Galaxy S II General] vinayakabhatt:
This is the most stable build as of now. Most of the issues are sorted out

Market & facelock works like a charm.

I am facing a weird issue with 3g / hspda connection. If the phone goes to lock screen and comes back it stops to work. The symbol still appears but transmission is not there.

Has any one else faced a similar issue? Is there any specific fix???????

Please let me know thanks in advance

[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
Same problem.

Data works, but just not the Market.

I've wiped everything. Reflashed (two other versions as well of the same build) and done a factory reset, still, nothing.

I hope someone can find a solution for this.
[Galaxy S II General] Amrael:
Check your APN setting, if Auth. Type is set to "CHAP" edit it to "PAP" ( and save the modified APN before leaving the screen )

It sorted my trouble with 3G on Orange France
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
To some people even a simplest thing is very complicated, that's how they are and they ain't gonna change. :cool:

Arey yaar why this problem? Is Market 3.4.4? Just remove the Market and re-install it dude.

What exactly is Kernel panic? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] manups4e:
the phone get randomly a black screen with an android with a cloud saiyng "kernel panic, upload mode"
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:

PS- Sorry, I guess it's not possible, but really wanna see that, have never seen anything like that!
[Galaxy S II General] manups4e:
it's like this...(the image is not of a galaxy s II)
[Galaxy S II General] Amrael:
maybe a bad flash ?

Can you boot in Download Mode ?

If yes try to re-DL the firmware and to reflash it...If not : :(

well, with LP2 the prob not always come from market...

Actually, seems they edited a bunch the APNs to use CHAP authentication instead of PAP , figured this out in the other LP2 thread (faryaab one's , this post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21428919&postcount=857 (point 7 may change if your provider use one APN for calls/net and one for MMS, like Orange France ) ).

The buggy framework not updating signal strength doesn't help either...

That's why i said before your post to try to check the APN before removing/clearing data of the Market app

3. ICS Kernel panic thread.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] shr33kant:
Ok y'all, here's my experience on the XXLP2 Rom:

1. It seems like everything is running OK. I didn't have any forced closes. (I guess that's what happens when you wipe properly before flashing ;P)

2. The only problem I found was regarding the Ext SD. I think whenever something gets involved with it, things start to go wrong. For example, Titanium Backup wouldn't restore my apps properly when I had them on the ext-sd, once I moved them to usb-sd then everything was all gravy baby :).

3. The user interface I found still needed polishing up performance wise. There were random lags here and there and I personally can't stand the "Page Down" flick they've implemented...I find it very irritating trying to reach the bottom of a list in a menu because of it...Although it does have it's uses (like in a browser)

4. I especially liked the way the browser worked. No lag, and it synced my Chrome Bookmarks! :-D

5. 3G & Wifi were quite reliable, although not being able to see how much signal I had was very irritating!

For now though I'm going back to my Hyperdroid/Vert's ICS Theme/Siyah combination. It looks like Samsung are just about there with ICS, just needs some polishing. I think I won't be flashing an ICS rom again until there's a Hyperdroid custom rom based off it and vertumus gives it the makeover it so sorely needs.

I've done that. It doesn't work. AS I said, I've done all the obvious things.

Managed apps and removed the data. No go.

Wiped all data. No go.

Reflashed twice. No go.

Reset. No go.

Flashed two other versions of the same build. No go.

Still getting server error, despite a solid data connection and working data.

I have huge battery drain (max 7 hours of normal usage) also gets hot near the camera
[Galaxy S II General] zabihjan:
laggy

nice features

my most important app called viber doesnt work

apps hesitate to start faster

when connected to charger not everything works perfectly.

worst of all the free cache memory size is only 998 mb (gingerbread roms are 2gb)

going back to KL3 2.3.6
[Galaxy S II General] ewok666:
I would love to know whether they have fixed is ongoing issue with Android OS draining the battery. As soon as I add more than one ActiveSync account it's only a matter of time before it does that. I'm on 2.3.6 at the moment and it's driving me mad!
[Galaxy S II General] sumitpathak:
My first impression

1) Quite Stable except 1 Kernel Panic while BT stream.

2) Battery is OK, lasted for 18 Hrs after charging 95%.

3) Video Stream with PC not working, BS player gives error.

4) Remote Desktop is far too laggy.

5) Contact Sync with Kies is crappy, had to reload multiple times.

6) Angry Birds is laggy :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Could you advice please if movie studio aka google video editor works?"
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well if your display was on for around 5 hours outta those 7 hours of usage then you can't say battery was bad.

That's really weird. It's working perfectly for me and not for some of you guys.

Can you please try to Wipe the device from Recovery after flashing the ROM and post your feedback here....

Google+ in the browser? Have you checked 'Desktop view' option?

I'd like to know that too, other than adding/optimising HW acceleration they should've taken care of this matter too, I hope they did.

Anyway, the battery standby backup was pretty good for me. In 8+ hours of overnight duration it drained just 3%. GPS was on all time. Adding it as a Pros in OP.

Found a Cons also, you can't use Smart inputting feature (I don't know what's the exact term for this), the feature which helped you to find the contact/s when you just typed the keys matching your contact entries, I was in love with that feature and since my Bold 9000 I was missing it on every device and then I got it with this one, but now in this ROM it wasn't present there and as I've to call too much per day I have to take as a Cons.
[Galaxy S II General] blarkus:

[Galaxy S II General] more2come:
Tried a few things, did a few factory resets and now I've come to the conclusion that at some point the device won't go to deep sleep properly. Got the same behaviour a few hours after every flash.

No option for me so far. CM9 lacks a few additional features, but is way better as a daily driver. Battery life on CM9 is amazing.
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
After using this for a couple of days, I can add a few bugs and issues to the list.

1st off, using network data works for a while and then stops, loses all reception, then never reconnects to data network again. Going in and out of flight mode doesn't help, only restarting phone.

Wifi is working perfect all day use !

Phone reception is full bars all the time.

Facebook app is buggy.

Google Books doesn't load.

Face unlock works sometimes, then it can freeze phone. At times, setting up face unlock crashes phone, other times, camera doesn't start and sometimes it works.

Settings for the mobile network, searching for networks and turning on and off data is very buggy / non-functional.

I tried Nova Laucher, so it works well, doesn't show virtual buttons so it is as good as or better than Trebuchet and the app auto updates.

Market works perfect, never had any issue with it. Apps download and install, a couple of times it has closed.

Hyperlinks from apps to the browser sometimes don't transfer the URL and the last page open or default page opens, which is weird, as the second time you try it, it works.

Flash player was a bit hit and miss either working or not, but there has been an update today for it for ICS and further testing has shown that it is working great.

Tethering via wifi or USB doesn't work at all.

Since using the data network is hit and miss and the only fix is restarting phone, I may change back to Gingerbread ! :-(

The homescreen scrolling is wonderful using Nova Launcher, and app drawer (with Nova) is great. All widgets are working and resizing with Nova and you can have the persistant search too.

Changing the keyboard to Dictation works well with individual words recognised as you speak, very cool.

Lets hope the next ICS for SGS2 come sout quick to fix the data over network issue.
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
Data over the network works better now that I have flashed the kp8 modem only.

I am having a problem with battery accuracy. Sitting at 50% and I restart the phone and it now says I have 9% battery ! Anyone else experienced this?

BTW I still using this with new modem, nova launcher, and battery circle mod, fairly happy.

I've tried to install modem KL1 afterwards, but it did not solve the problem.

If you still have this rom can you try to change APN auth type to PAP as mentioned here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21428919&postcount=857 . This came up after I went back to GB. Let us know whether that'll do the trick. Thanks.

I had these issues before and after reflashed the rom again all problems is gone.

What fixed the network data issues for me was flashing the kp8 modem as suggested in thr firmware thread. Connection is now a lot more stable.

I'll see if I can modify the apn but not sure this is possible.

Authentication was set to PAP already but all the settings for the apn are greyed out.
