Absolutely loving this rom, it runs really smooth. Also a big thank you to the support of the developer, who is really helping every user with creating .zips and so on.

Because several people asked for screenshots I decided to make some, see the attachments to this post.

@LegendK95, could you add the AOSP calendar application? It looks so much better than the TW one. The same goes for the messaging and phone application. However I think those two are harder to implement.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bitmappp:
hello.. really love this rom!!!

btw, synchronizing calendar to newly wipe rom is a pain in the a**

any tips how can i synchronize my whole google calendar?

Is the Smart dialer (dial by name) working for anyone? It doesn't work for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lucky_sidhu:
Which call recorder is working ?

I used Dsoft call recorder earlier it is not working in this rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LegendK95:
Thanks man :), I'll add the Calendar Flashable Zip, I spent a whole day trying to implement the AOSP Phone and messaging because I like them, but all I was getting was some random restarts
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LegendK95:
Try wiping battery stats from cwm
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ipy219:
only one bug so far..can't change lockscreen image. i tried from settings display but it crashes
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LegendK95:
You need to flash Samsung's Gallery :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cottinghamm:
RC3 seems much better

Was seeing lots of data related issues on RC2, flashed RC3 and feels much better already, well done OP.

Thanks also for adding the sounds, at least I can now have a phone ring that sounds like a phone !

Well done again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LegendK95:
Glad you like it, If you need anything tell me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cottinghamm:
Error with multiple contacts entries

When I go to messaging & type in a contact's name I see a lot of entries, some with (null) below & then what appears to be every field from the contact record instead of just the phone numbers, anyone else seeing this ?

Had this on both RC2 & RC3, complete wipe before RC2, didn't wipe going to RC3.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vin87:
Thanks for the AOSP calendar, works like a charm!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lucalaco:
I can't see the appointment in the calendar with Exchange active sync . Mail is ok but i don't see the old and new appointment !

Any idea ??
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jinan:
Same here. I think it's common for all ICS roms in circulation, if I am not mistaken.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] andyfmking:
Sounds gooooood, taking my laptop , downloading ....

[Galaxy S II Android Development] jastonas:
Can you make a flashable zip with old contacts?

New AOSP contacts ALWAYS and in EVERY ICS ROM gets me a) reboots b) Doesn't sync all contacts c) Can't join contacts.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LegendK95:
This is the old contacts but its themed
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kizaros2g:
i see, so the AOSP phone and messaging was not compatible with sammy rom? how about the AOSP contact?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jastonas:
Well.. something is causing problems!! I guess the theming messes up something.

I am telling you this because I have flashed many many many ICS roms, and the only ones that were working fine for me were yours and wanam's. Now yours isn't.

I will try to copy contacts.apk and contactsprovider.apk from RC1 and see if it works.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ms.brightside:
which one is better... this one or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 ( ICS Remix Rom)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sean is here.:
Dude. Seriously?

That's bad form. First off, you're posting in a forum for Simplistic ROM, don't post links to other ROMs...you're probably not aware, but there's been some drama (as in disagreements and hard feelings) between these 2 devs. :-/

Secondly, almost everyone in this Thread will say Simplistic is...because we all use it, duh.

And third, but probably most important. Just try them both out, and decide for yourself. Nobody can tell you which ROM you're going to like better. Because although we have the same brand and model phone, yours is probably going to be set up very different than mine. You've got different stuff installed, different settings, and different expectations.

Asking that is like asking 10000 people what flavor of ice cream you like best...they can't tell you that, because they're not you. Maybe I like speed and don't care about battery, maybe you like battery life and don't care about speed. Maybe you like stability and I don't care about stability. So, you're just going to have to try them out. READ about them for Pete's sake. Read about them, and identify the differences...then flash them and keep the one you like...

But for the love of God, don't post a link to some other ROM in this Thread or vice versa. That's like bringing a Big Mac to Burger King and asking if their Whopper tastes better than the Big Mac...how the hell should they know what you like?

EDIT: Sorry if I went on a tirade. Didn't mean to be curt or harsh, but that's really bad form...and you'll really just have to try them both out.

2nd EDIT: Again, my apologies. I'm not going to change my post because it's pretty spot-on IMO. But I didn't mean to be mean or rude, so again...no hard feelings, you have my apologies if I sounded offensive, it wasn't meant to come across that way.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRCinAU:
Yeah, define 'better' ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ms.brightside:
sigh sorry.. i mean which one has better battery life
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRCinAU:
For doing what? Sitting there idle? Using wifi? Making phone calls? Playing games? Something else?

My subtle point here is that 'better' is a relative statement - it really depends on WHAT you do much more than the ROM itself...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sean is here.:
That's more specific. But again, that's going to depend on your phone and your setup.

Your best bet is to flash one, and give it a 2-3 day test run. Run battery tests, i.e. same settings, both ROMs, same conditions (same apps installed, same wifi/3G connection times etc) then decide which is best for you.

Like I said, I'm on Simplistic:D...because I like it better...which is why I'm subscribed to this Thread.:p

EDIT: Read my post above, in case it came in after you read the original.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ms.brightside:
ok I have no preference of roms really so can I ask you why you like this rom? Just want to hear your opinion :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sean is here.:
The truth. Legend (the dev here) is an incredibly nice guy, and provides excellent service...and FAST. If you have an issue, he gets right on it. I'm not saying the other guy doesn't, but I encountered Simplistic first, pretty much. He's a really nice guy, and that great 'customer' service made a lasting impression on me. I'm a sucker for good service.

I did flash the other one for a few days, but had a few FCs and reboots here and there. That was over a month ago, and I'm sure most of those issues have been worked out. But at the time, Simplistic was more stable (for my phone, my apps, and my setup) for me.

Also, I didn't really care for the use of TuPac in a demo-vid. I like TuPac, but I would have preferred a voice-over explaining what I was seeing, even if his English was heavily accented and wrong sometimes. Personal preference.:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Is the dev of this ROM banned? It says "account disabled" by his name o_O.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stilex:
Going to try this ROM, I liked its features when I read. :D

Hopefully can make it my daily ROM.

PS: Does anybody know how to change the "American Format Dialpad?"

e.g.: when I dial, it separates the phone #s as in an american fashion *888 555 8888* instead of *8885558888*
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Edu616:
yes he is !!! till February 21!! that's really bad!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Ah, I see!

I looked through some of the previous posts though and it is very nice to see a dev supporting the xda community. For that reason I am trying this ROM out. I always appreciate devs who support users of their products :)

Flashing right now! Will report back.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alien45:
I'm getting a lot of force closes and freezes. Another weird thing is that there is no stock clock app, so no alarm unless get a a different app.

By the way, why was the dev banned?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Look at the third post of the thread, the dev uploaded the Clock apk :). Flash through CWM or extract the zip and load up the apk.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JonesWTF:
There is a clock package in post 3 I believe. You're best to read back over the last few pages if you want to find out about the ban, it's are too long a story.

In other news, would anyone know why I can't get the kp8 kernel to work? I was just interested to see if I could get vibrate working again because I'll be needing my phone to be on silent for the next few days. Each time I flash it, either in cwm or through Odin, I end up with a boot loop :(

Sent from my SGS II via Tapatapatapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Vibrate works perfectly for me and I am using kernel that came with the ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] datsunboy:
Vibrate works for me and a friend using rc7.

To get SMS to vibrate you have to go into the settings OF the messaging app, and change it there
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JonesWTF:
I know it works with the keyboard, but if you switch every setting in the notifications and mms app to always vibrate, then set your phone to vibrate, send yourself a message. Mine doesn't vibrate when the message arrives, or when I get a call. Doesn't for my friend either. As far as I know, it's Samsung who f'ed up.

Sent from my thumbs to your face
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I just tried calling my cell from my home phone and it works perfectly o_O. I don't know what's wrong. Have you tried reflashing the ROM?

Also, the dev posted another kernel somewhere in the last few pages. I believe it was KP8. You might want to try it out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JonesWTF:
Yeh, I tried reflashing and the kernel Legend posted, but that's how I ended with the bootloop. Strange huh?

I only lost vibrate when the newest kernels were introduced. I think from lp6, it went. Before I was fine. Oh well. I guess I can live without it for now.

I don't want to go back to an older RC and there's no way in hell I'm going back to GB, hahaha!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] teju4u:
DID you try Sound Manager from Market ....

With LP6 kernel on RC7 and Sound Manager Vibrate works perfectly ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] JonesWTF:
Yep, I have even tried Sound Manager v2 as well. I get nothing. When I restore an ollllld nandroid backup, I have vibrate. So at least I know my phone isn't screwed.

It just seems that at this moment in time, my phone is being a fussy *****, hahaha!

Hey ppl, what do you think I should set up! A blog or a forum, that's because if it's a blog then you can post your problems.

Today I'll set it up :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
I personally think think XDA forums (this thread) is the best. However if you make a facebook page you could always post updates there, and we could ask questions and discuss things on the wall.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anton_kg:
LegendK95: well, I was actually very unhappy to see your "I do NOT give permissions to anyone" banner in the first post. That's BS, man. Android is an open source OS. People suppose to keep it open and release their own modification of code as open source too. Everybody suppose to copy from each one for everybody's benefit.

Your phrase "I ported from .. and they are stealing my work" is just ridiculous. Keep it open so people would see what have you done and what other people copied from you exactly.

Here is an example how many hours of work are gone to nowhere:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] danielsf:
That was a stupid comment. Grow up. If he has spent time and effort making something, which he has kindly let us use in his rom, he has a right to choose what he does with it. If people copied your work which you put a lot of time and effort into making and claimed it was their own, wouldn't you be pee'd off, I know I would. He made it, so he gets to choose how it is used, period. If you don't like it then go away, no one wants you here anyway if you make stupid, naive and arrogant comments like this.

You really are a noob. Watch this video, it might help you become less of a noob: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA

[Galaxy S II Android Development] beren:
coming from cm7(GB), should I wipe also the internal memory including pics etc.. before flash simplistic or it's ok to wipe just system partition?

are the sammy's mods still present?(like doubletap+tilt zooming, hdmi out etc..)

thx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hk5354:
problems with Google chrome...

also hang.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
chrome is buggy on all ICS atm not much can be done about that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
Factory reset. Wipe cache. Wipe davlik.

Tilt etc work not sure about HDMI as I don't use it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] anton_kg:
Dude, open your eyes, it's not *his* rom. He took somebody's else work, million lines of code (which has very well defined licenses, btw). That "somebody" made it open because they wanted people to help to improve it. Some modifications of code (like kernel, licensed under GPL) you *have* to return back, it's illegal not to do so. Android is growing because of many people (like cyanogen developers) contributions, and growing fast.

But even in general, you can not take something which is free, modified like 0.001% (or even simply change a copyright in hex editor like LegendK95 admitted) and complain after that, that somebody else "stolen" it from you.

The whole story look more like if somebody would gave a toy to kids, they are playing with it in a sandbox screaming: "it's mine!".

Makes me laugh, really.

Do you use a Windows computer?

I find it hard to believe that someone uses open source software exclusively. Sure you don't want to qualify/clarify that?

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

The point is that it's more his than yours:rolleyes:. If you want to make decisions like how a software is used, then learn to code. I assume you can't because when someone has spent hours/weeks coding something, it generally comes to have more meaning and generally the dev wants to have something in return for his work. In this case it's recognition (and $$ if people are willing to donate).

Maybe you should check out the forum rules page here.

If you don't have time, or want to take the effort...here's the relevant part:

Again, what it comes down to is prerogative. And it's his, not yours. If you learn to code, then you can decide what to do with your code.

What you're preaching is borderline socialist/communist. Why don't you donate 100% of your time/work/paycheck to the community? Can you claim that you own (or have built) everything that enables you to do your job?:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CandyAndy:
So is the development of this ROM now stopped? Thats too bad because this is the best ICS build I have tried this far.

Sure, had some flaws but others have bigger flaws.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sean is here.:
Legend's only grounded until the 21st...so I don't think the development has stopped. But his ability to upload updates may be put on hold for now.:D

[Galaxy S II Android Development] chasabi:
Great ROM. Really liking it so far. I do have 2 questions though if anyone can help.

1. Is it possible to create folders on the app drawer? I like to put stuff in folders which I can do with Go Launcher. I don't want to install Go Launcher because I don't want ot lose the ICS look.

2. Is there anyway to get the default SMS app to look at my Google contacts rather than SIM contacts? I have pictures assigned to all my Google contacts that I like to show in the SMS app. When I text someone now I don't get a picture beside the contact because the app uses the SIM contacts.

I've tried to hide the SIM contacts in the contacts/people app but this doesn't stop the SMS app from using the SIM contacts.

Thanks again

Ummm... I dont have data connection any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
1. not sure you currently can on Nova ask the dev on his thread.

2. try the messaging app mod i linked to above it uses phone book contact pictures :D HERE

Glad your liking the ROM

As posted earlier in thread add your APN settings to the phone (or get your carrier to send them to your phone) or use something like "Hiapn" from market
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bitmappp:
how do i fix the Market... when i click on some of my app it says "Your device isn't compatible with this item,..." i already clear the date/ cache still the same:(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
Usually happens when you have set a none standard dpi / the app is phone dependant or the app is not comparable with ICS

Did you do a full wipe before install?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CRCinAU:
Has anyone got the FM Radio working on this ROM?

I also flashed kernel XXLP6 from the stock samsung 4.0.3 leaked ROM and so far, it seems to be working mostly ok... A few issues with a couple of processes not responding... I haven't managed to grab the actual process name as yet...

Also - what is it with EVERY ICS ROM keeping the power button enabled even when the phone is locked? Shouldn't all the hardware buttons as well as the power button be ignored when the phone is locked? :\
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shingers5:
Man you have no idea whats gone on and should refrain from making comments. Legend hasnt done anything to call his own. Others devs in here who have been making roms before legend was on the scene do not share his stupid attitude. Legend pm a few people asking if they would work with him to make an ics rom. People shared their work with legend and he then switched on them saying he no longer wanted to work with them. He then took their work and editted it calling it his own then tried slating the very people who gave him a start. That is bad form and without lidroid nothing legend does would be possible. If everyone in here took legend stance xda would cease to be what it is. You need to stop this bias nonsense and open your eyes. Leave well and well alone. You think its a coincidence legend got banned when wes didnt! Wake up dude
[Galaxy S II Android Development] shingers5:
You havent ranted dude just told it like it is. I too have used this rom and it is what it is. Hate sammy ics builds as too GB looking. Prefer ICS and all that so called ugliness. This rom is a solid simple stock ICS rom and thats that.

First time flasher on doing this rom..is there anything i should know before flashing? from reading sounds great...one quick question not a major deal breaker but does youtube work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sean is here.:
Without a doubt, it's worked for several versions now.:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aramil:
FM Radio is broke on LP6.

Did you wipe davlik & cache when swapping kernels? (could be why your getting locked processes)

How would you unlock your phone with screen & hardware buttons off? although having only the home button to wake from sleep makes sense. (not sure if it's a google ics thing)

The bottom line is samsung should not have done such a stupid thing by placing the on /off button on the side of the phone!

As much as I adore this phone and in my opinion is the best phone in the world, the power button should be on the top so it doesnt get bumped all the time.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] m3ik0:
Youtube works fine :)

Before you install this rom you have to flash the XXLPB firmware first from sammobile.com. You can find it at the firmware section. Register is needed ;) . Find the XXLPB firmware, flash it, root it with the same(XXLPB) chainfires

root kernel.

*Some info about the tar assign: Code->PDA | Modem->Phone | CSC->CSC

In case you dont know all these ;)

Good luck and follow every instruction that devs provide to the letter ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] themadba:
So I have to flash the XXLPB firmware first?? What is the point of this? I thought the ROM would do this for you when you flash it?

Flashing XXLPB is not a problem (I'm not that big of an idiot,) just curious. So if i flash XXLPB to my phone, do I then stick SimplisticICS into PDA, flash and reboot?

Cheers,

Chris.
