THE BEST ICS so far

Hei dude

Thanks for your short but sweet review. I've installed LPB and using it for about 4 hrs actively. Restored about 40 apps through Titanium Backup PRO.

So far so good. No FCs, No hangs or No signal drops. Pretty stable.

If anybody have problem in restoring stuff via Titanium BP, just wanna share what exactly I always do... open app > preferences > app process mode > indirect if problems and then restore backups to > internal storage... restart Titanium BP and in batch mode restore missing apps and wait till it finishes. No problem.

Thanks

Bala

Ha - I assumed the install failures were just me.

Yes -- same here, though I don't use games so it's only affected argos (shopping) and lovefilm (move selection, not streaming), so not a big deal for now.

I tried clearing some temporary files, but no joy...
[Galaxy S II General] Fredouye:
"Restart" option now restarts the phone instead of shutting it down :)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Some more points to not if not noted yet,

+ samsung taskmanger has shortcuts to uninstall apps

+ Gallery app from ics works beautifully

- Cannot change wallpaper for lockscreen FC

- cannot restore few apps from TB(like XDA due to change in path)

XXLPB + Apex Launcher + Gapps + 160 DPI = awesome combo and much better than cm9!!

Edit 1:

did you people noted? now the wifi icon has the data transfer icons below the wifi icon in status bar

For everyone who has Titanium Backup problems:

In Titanium Backup preferences, select Restore Backups to .. Internal Memory and your problems will be solved.

Did you flash Gapps via clockwork mod? Because I did it that way and now gmail isn't even working anymore.

Make sure Screen lock is not set to None, Settings/Security.

Home button does work.

Yes, the browser brightness is changed from default. Thanks fyi.

Didn't mention the Contact app WS as we all knew it ;)

Will add in OP.

Market never gave me any problem, same with this one also.

Yes sir.

LS Wallpapers work fine here. Thanks for the other points.

Thanks everyone for providing input about this ROM, I am outta thanks meter, so couldn't hit the damn button. Please continue your good work.

And thanks for appreciating this topic as well.

did you tried changing the wallpaper?? whenever i try to change the wallpaper getting a FC in crop mode. ics gallery only allows to change the homescreen wallpaper :(
[Galaxy S II General] NaLogo:
Quick note: The APN problem seems to appear on all phones. Flashing an older modem doesn't help.

I manually added my APN settings and the modem offers solid connections and bandwidth. On my carrier ( Vodafone Germany ) it maxed to 6,4 mbits down.

Edit: I moved around a little and the modem maxes to 5,4 down and 2,9 up in a location with 3 bars and without H+, just HSDPA.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
for people missing apn, you can receive the configuration message from your service provider instead of typing, much easier.
[Galaxy S II General] Voicila43:
Annyone can say something about the modem?

[Galaxy S II General] Rollies77:
External SD

I haven't tried LPB yet, but I found this problem not being able to write to external sd card on LP2 and LP6. I need to edit a permission file located at /etc/permissions/platform.xml using ES File Explorer (enabling root). Long press on platform.xml > Open As > Text > ES Note Editor. You want to look for this line:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>

And add a group tag:

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

Restart and you'll be able to write to external sd card.
[Galaxy S II General] leon0602:
I have the same problem. i have reinstall many apps but there are few apps i can't install. it's not possible reinstall with TB or download from market. i'm thinking to go back to LP6 :(
[Galaxy S II General] Ffbf:
Did you try to unmount sd and set in preferences of TB do intall apps in internal memory?
[Galaxy S II General] ShellShock90:
Hi,

I also tried some soultions found at Google. Doesn't worked for me either. Maybe there is a generel Apps2SD Problem with this firmware?

Apart from this issue this firmware runs good for me.

Are you able to copy or rename files in your external sd card?
[Galaxy S II General] Try4Ce:
Regarding the SD Installation Error:

With STOCK XXLPB I dont get any errors regarding SD Card installations.

But as soon as I flash the CF-Root kernel for this ROM, I get the same issues.

Maybe worth looking into?
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
So I unomunted the next sdcard and titanium restored, I haven't tried installing any of the failing apps from the android market which had the same issue...

I got the apn set and now working.

Twlauncher seems laggy STILL and after I restore my apps its not the best, animations aren't always great and are a bit slow.

There are new icons in the notification bar which are huge and horrid but maybe they are more useful for partially sighted!

Not a big step forward but it has only been a week and maybe the browser is more stable, Gmail has crashed yet.

So I've put on nova launcher and the ics screen off animation and it is working better this time with no screen flashes on screen off.

Default auto brightness is much lower, and the maximum brightness seems lower too but this may be placebo...

The wifi with arrows is cool and something I've been hoping for so its nice to see.

Wifi range may be better too as I was picking up more this morning.

One annoying thing is that if you fall out of range the wifi box pop ups, even on my widget locker screen and asks to search for wifi.
[Galaxy S II General] Phone_Guru:
I have no external sd problems using CF-root LPB. To fix Titanium problems set the restore backup location to internal storage.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Battery charging seems to be faster, charged from 10 to 100 % in less than 3 hours.
[Galaxy S II General] deifel:
Same problem here.

I am now on the LP6 CF Kernel and it works...

But I hope that chainfire will fix this error in the CF kernel.

Or have someone another idea to fix this problem and have the new CF kernel running?
[Galaxy S II General] leon0602:
Yes I can do everything without any problem
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
fix as others mention is to change setting in titanium to install to internal memory.. not sure why other stuff is working thugh.. other progreams restored fine to sd.. such as angry birds etc.. why are only some apps troublesome.

anyway other observations.

sip stack is still not in this firmware..

ie still not working in new ics lpb leak.. add file to system/etc/permissions change to rw r r .. reboot still no sip stack settings in menus.

4g is now fixed with at&t in usa.. i know get the h+ icon again.

wifi problems where it comes and goes seems to be better but time will tell.

scrolling in long lists still laggy/not fast enough when you do a quick scroll with your finger.. ie it is not scrolling down far enough as it used to

still no option to sort apps in touchwiz.. appz sorter light with restart of twiz is workaround for now.

first time that it didnt setup my apn automatically usually it is wrong for at&t family plan unlimited.. but it didnt even add one.. I had to manually add it.

[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
Ok i tested XXLPB now for a while and here are some things i noticed.

The rom is stable. No FC's, Kernel Panic or anything like that.

But there a issues:

Market doesn't show my installed/puchased apps. tried tb market fixer and delete data, no luck

Flash Player seems to broken. (Updated with market) It sometimes works on Youtube but other video sites are failing. (Tried stock browser and boat browser)

Hardware decoding seems to broken too. Stock Player and Dice Player fail to playback Mpeg2/4 hardware accelerated.

lp8 is nowhere near as smooth as is kk5

other then that. no biggie. i'm gonna keep it 'till next sammy ics.
[Galaxy S II General] bambollero:
The rom seems quite stable but there are issues here and there. I had my phone freeze while using the gallery and the screen turned off while calling (seemed like a proximity sensor bug). In addition, while mobile data worked at first boot, later on, it wouldn’t turn on.

Also, the phone feels hotter in my hand. Batter Monitor widget reports a pretty normal temperature though.

[Galaxy S II General] deifel:
The missing "my apps" in the market are really ugly :(

Its really crazy - when i add another google account, my apps works fine. Only with my account there are this problems...

But on the website on the market you cant delete the phone...

Maybe it helps to chance any id or something from the phone?

Any ideas?

I've only been running it for 10 minutes or so... I will update if anything else will happen.

1. On the first boot, video recording got everything stuck (had to pull battery out). After the boot, it seems to run fine.

2. Going back from the tethering menu gets a FC on the Settings app.

Installing large files

Does anyone know if it's possible to install large files (+20Mb)? I'm using codeworkx ROM, but with last build it's not possible to install large files, aside others minor bugs...

[Galaxy S II General] shaq1907:
I installed it today. It's better than I guess. No reboot or Force Close for me until now. But some applications which use SD card doesn't work or install for me (like NBA Game Time). Also Samsung should add "arrangement in alphabetic order" in TouchWiz menu. It's hard to find something in a crowded folder. I like TW, so I don't use any launcher but it is essential for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Soundbombing:
Thanks man.... well done

BUG: If you set Screenmode to dynamic the whole screen looks weird..
[Galaxy S II General] drigz08:
Biggest bug: Any app that you will install on sd will not work.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
I used this whole day today. I had a single case of sleep of death, where the phone simply did not wake up and I had to pull the battery. Other than that, I had screen corruption on a few occasions and some slowdowns a few times. Overall, a pretty good ROM, totally usable. I'll keep it.

The best thing is that AOSP-based launchers like Trebuchet, NovaLauncher, ApexLauncher all run perfectly, and better than any launcher on Gingerbread. This alone forces me to keep running ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] gsanchez:
Very disappointed

I have passed the last hour trying to configure my APN. Everytime I change MNC value - my carrier is 10, default proposed is 11, my APN is simply delete, exactly this way. And all apn app's I've downloaded all of them freezes, nothing about apn...

I'm switching back to codeworkx ROM, I just wasted my time with this ROM...

===================================

I don't know if I'm crazy but now data traffic decides to work... I will continue to test this ROM, I hope it has good battery life as I had in codeworkx...
[Galaxy S II General] tolgapaksoy:
I've been using this ROM for 9 hours now, and it works absolutely fantastic. I haven't encountered a problem. The only weird thing is when you force 2D GPU-rendering, the scrolling gets messed up.

Other than that, it's a daily driver for sure. It also has deep sleep, if you're wondering.

I'd guess this is not a bug...

Try using stock kernel and stock SBL ;)

Got it? :D
[Galaxy S II General] firestorm76:
Not sure but this is not a bug. It's a feature from Samsung point of view. They made it this way. According to Chainfire, app will not install to sd if you use rooted/insecure kernel because the ROM checks for the warning triangle now. The latest ICS leak, XXLPB is doing this check and that is why you can't install app to sd card.

I guess we can try to use the USB jig to remove the warning triangle message and see if this will circumvent the check. :P

Thank you very much, Samsung!!!

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

To fix this issue:

1. Flash stock XXLPB kernel using Odin.

2. Reboot phone. Triangle gone.

3. Flash CF LPB kernel using Mobile Odin.

4. Phone will reboot. App can be installed to SD card now from the market.

If this helped, please click thanks. :)

This build is much better than the previous ones I've tried. Still some bugs to be worked out, not sure I am ready for this to be my daily driver. Here are some of the issues I've noticed:

1. Battery life is pretty bad. Only getting about 1/2 what I get on GB builds

2. Browser still feels sticky. Rendering is not as smooth IMO then GB

3. I've gotten about 6 SOD's since I installed it 24 hours ago.

4. Applications will lag especially when trying to exit. When exiting contacts, I've been noticing this a lot.

5. stock keyboard seems a bit laggy too.

i get an message "charging paused because of over voltage"

it appears when ive charged the phone fully and disconnect it.

battery widget flashes and the info box appears every 15-20 seconds with the message, it still think its charging when its not.

and the phone makes some kind of discarge of the battery when it goes from 100% to 60-70% in a couple of minutes.

and around 50% the messages disappers.

the voltage is around 3930(mV) and temp 23(c)

I just got a reply from Dell and they told me that there will be no Gingerbread Update released for Dell Streak 5 nor any other updates.

On the question why a Gingerbread Update was released for the Korean market and not for US/EU, they said

So, in conclusion this means, there won't be an official Gingerbread update. I can't follow this decisions, but they probably have their reasons.

Nevertheless, all the binaries for a Gingerbread build are available on Dell's servers:
