Hey boys, girls and children. I'll do what the mods should be doing; please keep the posts on topic, specific to LPB. TIA!
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
Great summary at the beginning! I did a slightly less thorough quick test ...

A few extra points:

* "Software" update still cannot be set up - not a problem/surprise, but unlike the last build settings->apps->software->update is greyed out (also failed to disable with titanium)

* I've had one "system UI has stopped" - though I was doing a lot of things at once (setup)

* Settings->data usage now correctly breaks down by application

* All my apps (free and paid for) auto-restored from google :-)

* The browser defaults to fixed (bright) brightness, not auto brightness (is this a change?)

* The contacts app has a new welcome screen reminding user to swipe right to make a call, left for a text

Hi I didn't know where to put this so I just decided to put this here.

So we have all seen this video right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0W0RDUux8g

If you go to 30 min mark on the video then you will see the new icecreamsandwich keyboard being shown off.

Anyways you can see the microsoft office style line under misspelt thing and the awesome instant voice to text.

After flashing LPB I was like this ROM is stable enough to warrant actually making changes to customize it to my tastes.

I got the ICS keyboard apk installed it on my device and voila I had the brilliant keyboard and instant voice recognition.

The only thing that is missing is the underlined text replacement. It works brilliantly in voice input mode but does not work while general typing.

Here I did all the legwork for you too, Link to zip file open find the apk and install.

Usb mass storage support has been removed. Mtp is the only way to access your files. Install kies, it comes with all necessary drivers.

Mtp is better because your internal and external storage are no longer locked when conected to your computer, you can access them with your file manager from pc or phone. And i think it's a bit faster then usb mass storage.

I am not happy with this rom ...lots of fc.....and some games cannot install (paradise island)....everything works but will wait for new leak!!!
[Galaxy S II General] gsanchez:
I had the same problem when I was using codeworkx ROM. The solution was to await to battery gets bellow 10%, power off phone, remove battery for a while - 1 minute should be fine - reinsert it and power on. Don't be surprise if battery suddenly get very low. Completely charge it and deep sleep must works now.

Batch restore with TB is not working

I flashed the ROM, working fine no issues, the tried to restore my apps using Titanium backup Pro . only user apps with data, did not work, tried to change the application processing mode to indirect did not work as well.

work only if I set it to interactive means to install the apps one by one, I found many topics on this issue it seems related to hypershell. Do you know how to solve it?

I have the latest TB release.

Hey, thanks for posting your impressions, since I've sold my almost new Galaxy Nexus (I think the SII is much snappier, but I'm really looking forward till CM9 gets out, since I really don't like TW, especially since ICS is out), I'm back with the GSII and looking around, if ICS is already usable...

Would you guys say it's an everyday usable build?

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II General] cc999:
Fantastic

so far:

1- WIFI - perfect not 1 problem so far

2 - BLUETOOTH - perfect in car and headset and wireless speaker system

3 - FACE RECOGNITION - Flawless

4 - EXCHANGE EMAIL - PERFECT

5 - APP STORE - PERFECT - all "my apps" appear perfectly

6 - DATA - PERFECT - H+ as well lightning fast

7 - CAMERA - PERFECT - sample pics as well as 1080 video - no bugs

8 - AUDIO PLAYER - Plays perfectly

9 - GPS - Gets lock the fastest I have ever seen awesome

10 - BATTERY - TESTING

I am really schocked at this release. I can say so far I have 0 issues. I will post after a few days about battery life.

Thank u for wonderful reviews. 5stars and again many thanks
[Galaxy S II General] pungponx:
I found 3 issues since install last night.

1.Battery life is shorter than GB 2.3.5 on my general use every day.

2.Battery icon disappear some time after using Skype call (need to reboot to restore it)

3.Pink spot in camera still remain but less since GB 2.3.5

So far Wi-Fi is the best since i used many ROMs before BUT UI is not much different from GB. (I still think what is the benefit to upgrade from GB?, camera speed also same it is not fast as Nexus. TW is still old TW)

Finally I got a feeling of ICS in 'About Phone' :)
[Galaxy S II General] MCOGW:
FCs can be avoided by doing a factory reset (& clearing both caches) after install.

The problem with apps which won't install (they just give out a simple

"App not installed" message after trying to install) is caused by the new "kernel watch" method

(and maybe the bootloaders are involved here as well, but I didn't find the final proof for this yet. Still validating...).

This happens with every app which tries to install itself directly to your external sd-card.

Here's one possibility to fix this. But unfortunately this just works until you fully shutdown the device...

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

This seems to be related to the new "kernel watch" method too.

Just fix it (see my posting below) or try this:

Inside of TB go to Preferences -> Restore Backups and set it to "Internal memory". Works for me...
[Galaxy S II General] VinceLeTiss:
This is obviously the most stable and usable ICS so far but there still seems too many bugs for this to be truly a daily useage rom, shame as i love it especially using the Resurrection version but i cant put up with all the little oddities that still pop up and some even seem intermittent

for instance all was fine but i tried to erase usb storage (loadsa crap on there so thought why not) caused the phone to completely lock up

Lock screen has stopped waking up, i had to pull battery numerous times and now ive had to set no lock just to be able to re awaken the screen!

getting there but no cigar (or edible ice cream lol) just yet

Buying apps in Market

I'm using latest leak from Samsung, which is working very fine - except for battery life, but life's go on... I tried to buy an app in Market - XDA premium, by the way - but I got a message saying Error while trying to create my request. I didn't try another app, but monday I bought better battery stats normally.

I rooted my phone. Is there a way to unroot without having to erase my whole phone using Odin? Just to test if root is the guilty for me not being able to buy this app.

Thanks in advice.

[Galaxy S II General] nicksbrain:
Hi everybody,

again, terrific thread, thank you all for contributing. I installed the aforementioned Update on my GSII and I'm really impressed - it's snappy, beautiful, functional, no obvious bugs besides one: my apps disappeared and there was the "no SD card" symbol instead of the icon... I disconnected and reconnected the SD card and all but one returned, so for me, XXLPB is usable on a daily basis...

Edit: Well strangeness continues, I tried installing Grabatron from Market, it downloads fine but installation fails ("Installation on USB-memory or sd card failed", translated from german)... it's just this one app and disconnecting the sd card didn't help... well... it was nice while it lasted...

Did you root your phone? Because I read at Chainfire's twitter that Samsung is verifying the yellow triangule. If so, you cannot move your apps to SD Card due to this new behavior.

Hi I am using this ROM all this day morning. I was just wondering:

Can we clean this ROM from most of the useless Sammy Apps?

Is there any Samsung remove Apps script for this ICS ROM? I would like to remove HUBS apps. I can do that by Root Explorer but glad to see some feedback on this topic.
[Galaxy S II General] King Shady:
Holy **** the scrolling in LPB sucks ass
[Galaxy S II General] nickporwal:
Its in every ICS ROM. Partially due to GPU rendering. It needs more swipes now to scroll till the end. I have this crappy scrolling in my Nexus S AOSP ICS ROM also. Dont knw what google wants. Google should try to follow Windows OS atleast in terms of UI smoothness..

Edit:-- On the brighter side GPS has been improved a lot. It get locks to satellites very fast ( 11 out of 11 locks). Well done sammy. Face unlock is also super fast and without any hiccup. Its way better than my Nexus S face unlock.

The weird kinda scrolling is a feature in ics and its called elastic scrolling.
[Galaxy S II General] gnan10:
No i think its not a feature,and about elastic scrolling In some of the ROMs , such as MIUI, and also on the iPhone and even our sgs2 until v2.3.5(stock) when you scroll and reach the end of a menu it bounces instead of oversscroll glowing. Overall I prefer Android over the iPhone :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:, but this is one simple feature which seems to make the whole experience more fluid....in ics both overscroll glow and bounce effects added i think...

Here's a video to show you what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOyWCDhlxv8
[Galaxy S II General] twixter:
I have definitely a problem with this rom and Skype.

Very often I can't hear what my partner is saying.

Also i don't hear the "echo test sound".

Very sad, wanted to keep it at a daily rom.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
i think you are talking about scrolling effects(bounce & overscroll glow), but GB used fluid scrolling,(scrolls till the end). elastic scrolling is somewhat different to that.
[Galaxy S II General] nickporwal:
Yes you are right.....But this elastic scrolling is worse than normal GB scrolling.

I've been tinkering a lot with this after flash so I've actually flashed it more than once, full wipes and no restores so it's not some old crap data buggering it up.

Edit: Also it doesn't look like I have vibration on any alerts.. odd.
[Galaxy S II General] 84tdan:
OP nice thread, very helpful thank you.

So, using the new leak a couple of days now. Apart from some random hickups and one weird purple-screen-tint when trying to unlock the phone, everything is running fine here.

GPS for me is great now. I had every time trouble to lock to satellites, now i get signal under 10 seconds and with great precision.

Wifi is great, no more no-connectivity-issue (which i had with other gingerbread ROMS).

Bluetooth FINE, works like a charm.

3G for me is also perfect, H+ also working.

Call signal also perfect.

Stock Browser is fantastic now, very fast, with great practical functions (quick menu when swiping on the border of the screen is very nice :cool:, Full Screen :), Anonymous surfing :p).

Now the Bad news....

Had the same issue like everyone here with apps trying to install to SD card from market. I had to unmount first....

Other issue i had was that a couple of times my phone got very (very!!!) Hot, had to pull the battery in an act of desperation.... i was only downloading My Apps from market.... and another time i was surfing web and watching Flash Videos (no porn i swear...).

About the overall scroll speed:

Don't know what they &$%#* Up, but the ICS scrolling speed is somewhat lame compared to Gingerbread. Its the UI GPU rendering fault? FPS limit maybe?

Long pressing the quick access icons on the notification bar (wifi, bluetooth etc.) takes us no more to the corresponding section in the configs.

One more thing, home button Lag is not gone but is more tolerable now.
[Galaxy S II General] 1visuaL:
positive aspects:

3G/H internet connectivity perfect and super fast unlike it was on GB (At least for me)

smoother and faster then GB

Im very impressed from the interface and new possibilities in the XXLPB.

pretty much almost everything is fine but no one is perfect and it has his bugs.
[Galaxy S II General] crlsndrsjmnz:
I don't know you, but i don't like those huge icons in the notification bar (Gmail and I think market as well) at all!! i tried changing the SystemUI to one i found and the guy is just changing the colors of the other icons (Wifi, battery).... :mad:

I installed this last night, few issues :

1. Cant get rid of software update icon

2. Unable to turn off faceunlock. It asks me for a pin, which it doesnt accept when I enter a pin. Note..when face unlock doesnt recognise me, it asks me for the pin I set and that works and I can get into phone, but when I go into settings to disable face unlock, it asks for a pin in there and doesnt recognise it!

3. I use to have an app called appzorter which sorted my apps in touchwiz app drawer. This app is no longer compatible with my device, anyone got any alternatives?

Im sure theres more, but thats all I can think of for now.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
1- That notification can be removed, it has been stated here already.

[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
Use titanium backup pro to freeze software update app or go into the app settings and disable it.

Use nova or trebuchet launcher to give you a more stock experience as touchwiz is laggy.
[Galaxy S II General] sooti:
its an XXLPB kernel issue, if you flash back to LP6 kernel it should fix the touchscreen issues + some battery issues that some users have reported.

I am using XXLPB Rom + XXLP6 kernel + XXLP1 Modem.

this combination has for me, proven to be the best mix so far, good rom with stable features, good kernel that has the least issues from the ICS so far, and the moded with the best speed in my experience.
[Galaxy S II General] daz_2000:
cant find any of those launchers in market. Im not rooted but have managed to disable it.
[Galaxy S II General] gsanchez:
Only issue I found

The only issue I found using this leak was: while listen to mp3 - I didn't test with radio -, both native player and PowerAMP, if I receive a SMS/MMS/Email, music stops for 2 seconds, but after that period notification ringtone and music play together - music volume slow down until ringtone finishes and after backs to normal volume.

I can live with that, but if Samsung corrects I will be very glad. ;)

Nova is made by my favourite Kevin, he hasn't decided to release it in Market, maybe because its still a beta,

has any one come up with a fix for the broken facebook calendar sync in social hub?

was working fine on KL3 ... all my FB events there in my phone's calendar, syncing happily ...

how do people who don't use stock rom's do this?? do they just go with out the feature?

i know there is the issue of the FB vs google fighting over user data access ...but the manufacturer supplied skins get around this...

are there 3rd party apps we can install?
[Galaxy S II General] more2come:
I have to say, this is the most stable and most complete ICS-Beta by Samsung. Batterylife is better than average, speed is nice, stability is good!

There are some minor lags and app crashes, but it's pretty solid for a beta release.

Anyways, I went back to Androidmeda (2.3.6), due to it's heavy optimizations and tweaks it's just much faster, much more stable and batterylife is more satisfying than this release.

If CM-Team can get their fingers on kernel sources, I'll immediately flash CM9. Best ROM ever for SGS 2, but the missing features kept me from sticking with CM9
