[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick101181:
I've been doing a little reading and it appears some people have problems flashing ICS roms to the i9000m.

Can I simply just flash the ICSSGS RC3.1 rom to my phone, or is there a bit more involved in getting this Galaxy S version on an ICS Rom.

Also would love to hear from people who have the Canadian i9000m and who have upgraded to ICS, and what their experiences have been like.

Thanks

Is your phone rooted, if not you'll need to start with that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adslee:
Hi,

I have a Bell I9000M, which is just the international version I9000 with an "M" slapped on to the end of the model name, so you're in the right forum :)

It's pretty simple to flash to ICS from 2.3.3. All you really need is CWM recovery installed. If you're coming from pure stock 2.3.3 for the I9000M, then here are the steps for flashing ICS:

1. Flash to any Gingerbread firmware that's compatible, I usually go for something like JVT 2.3.5 which can be found in the stock firmware collection thread, so in these steps I'll just assume you're going to use JVT.

2. Flash Chainfire's kernel (make sure you flash the right CF kernel version for your stock firmware) over the stock JVT. This will root and install CWM to your phone.

3. Reboot into CWM recovery using the three button combo (hold volume up, home, and power while starting the phone).

4. Flash onecosmic's ICS ROM or teamhacksung's ICS ROM (or whatever ICS ROM you want) through CWM recovery. Both of these ROMs listed can be found in the I9000 development section.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I've run into a bit of a problem. Odin will recognize my phone when it is on because I have usb debugging enabled, but it won't recognize it in download mode. I soft bricked it and was barely able to recover it with the one click unsoft brick app.

I've tried different ports and restarting my pc. I did come across a rooted kernel that would work with my phone, but I can't flash it because odin won't recognize the phone in download mode. So it seems like I'm a little stuck now. heimdall does detect the phone in download mode though.

any ideas
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avivhaiser:
try to download the drivers to your computer and make sure that there is no Kies program activity running in the background in task manager, then after that try to go into download mode and plug your sgs back :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvinder:
I am almost in the same position. I have 2.3.3 all stock.

Firmware version - 2.3.3

Baseband version - I9000UGKG3

Kernel version - 2.6.35.7 I9000UGKG3

Buildnumber - gingerbread.GKG3

So i need to go to 2.3.5 using JVT.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rekatluos:
do not forget to backup your rom and WIPE everything . (not wiping usually causes bootloops and it may even bug the phone so you cant go to recovery and you'll have to use odin again ) .

I tried ICSSGS RC4.2 and it kinda sux ,in my opinion use Dark Knight 3 and flash Dark Knight 4 to fix the bugs from both roms (read rom's topic) . Very stable and not that memory hungry

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kramonte:
Hi,

I also had a bad battery life with stock ICS. I didn't try CM9 a long time, but i guess it will be much better than stock. I doubled my battery life and my nexus feels more stable and faster.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corgan1001:
CM9 v4.0.3 v1.1 with CM kernel seems to work great. Installed yesterday and pulled 20+ hours on a single charge before I decided to charge it before work. I am a moderate user, checking email, Facebook, browsing a bit online, and listening to Spotify when driving.

This version also seems to perform better with lack of lag on the app drawer. There are other ICS roms with more features at this point, but CM has always been a favorite for me. From what I understand on later versions there will be many of the same customization features as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3act:
Been using CM9 V1.0 for a week now and it just...works! Evenings of USB tethering in hotelrooms, lots of navigating with Google maps, lots of tinkering, etc. With deep idle enabled battery life is indeed good. (drops from 95 to 88% during a 7 hour sleep overnight) And it's stable too. Any reboots I've done were to flash further mods and backups...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
Just use cm9, slap a kernel like matrix or glados on board. Boot up, install nstools. Enable deep idle and tweak as you like and you will have good battery life.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kooskoos1814:
And it's working really good. Never got any problems with it. The v2 is coming soon ;-)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasthe:
v2.1 is working really well. I still get screen flicker when opening up the browser - as if it is struggling to show a pure white screen and as mentioned above the music app is in development, along with other features.

As a daily driver it has been great and with respect to the battery life, when 'deep idle' is on, I don't notice much difference from CM7.

Is it just me, or does the app eat batteries like they're going out of style?

I found that after leaving it idle for about two hours or so, it used up close to 50 percent of my battery, where as it would normally be more like 10 percent at most when the app isn't open. I suspect it polls chat too frequently.

And by that I mean most advanced. I'm the Sense loving guy, but I've heard a lot of good things about ICS. I'd like to try it out, but honestly I can't figure out which of the few existing ROMs to choose. I'm aware of that most of them are still in the alpha-beta phase, but I hoped someone could help me pick one. Or is it better to just wait for Sense 3.6 ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divereigh:
I can vouch for the Sandvold ICS (Bet 0.3.6). I have been running it on my Desire for several days now. If you use Titanium Backup, be careful restoring too much of the system data (I successfully restored the SMS/MMS stuff, but didn't bother with anything else). I also had to restore my APN settings to default to get my mobile data to work (Settings->More->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names->Menu->Reset to default).

I can also confirm that partictioning your SD card to provide an sd-ext works along with a2sd (including the Dalvik Cache) - the the Desire has a ridiculously small amount of internal ram.

Haven't had any issues at all.

I am also on Sandvold. I have it running for 2 days now and haven't come across a single bug until now.

The only thing that REALLY REALLY annoys me is that I am stuck with 5 homescreens, when I only need 2 or 3.
