Please could someone test if static ip is working? Thanks!!
[Galaxy S II General] GaboWinter:
In first place thanks for your review, it's great.

Details like wallpapers and scrolling made me happy :D about Trebuchet well i don't really like me so much, i prefer Nova for the moment.

Mmm the issue with the call logs, i can live with that :rolleyes:

Overclocking

What app to use to overclock this rom? Tegrak Overclock does not recognise the Kernel and cannot load the overclock module....
[Galaxy S II General] spyrale:
there is no app to overclock, stock kernel doesn't support oc, you have to wait for kernel sources and then custom kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Thanks for doing this service OP, I was not going to make a move on this until I saw this thread, you claim it is a daily use ROM, so I am going to flash based on that, you better be right else I'll be looking for you, haha, just kidding

I have a question though, a no wipe version has been posted, but I have never seen you mention if you do a no wipe upgrade from a Gingerbread ROM or if you factory reset after the upgrade or anything like that, can you please clarify this for me???

[Galaxy S II General] nekoworkshop:
No, I installed Chrome Beta on my previous ICS ROM but it got some random freeze problem:(. So this time I didn't install Chrome Beta.

There will be a "Sync Chrome beta" if you have installed chrome beta.So the "sync internet" thing seems has nothing to do with chrome.But what the hell is it:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] carloslopescj:
Guys, i'm having problems with contacts and phone. I click the icons and the phone freezes, then I got a FC error. Any suggestion?

Btw, any MOD to enable overscrolling bounce effect on menus?

Plz help.
[Galaxy S II General] 4ktvs:
+1

This build is about just as good as my razr or better in some ways. Now if they fix the scrolling then I will be good. I think some bugs/GPU interface isuses are why they have limited it so for. But If they make it like the GNexus I would be so mad.

Edit: yes it has a fair # of bugs, but it's not bader than my razr. (P.S Bader is NOT a word)

Are there any standard versions without the Samsung ****? I like the phone but if Samsung keep adding their own UIs over everything then I wont be buying their next one.
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
"sync internet" synchronizes bookmarks with those from desktop chrome associated with the same google account.

Initially I had hundreds of chrome bookmarks, and leaving this enabled caused MAJOR issues. I then cleaned out my bookmarks and now allow it to sync normally, with no hit on cpu and no real wakelock issues

This is the first ICS rom I've tried and it works perfect, found no bugs so far.

I'll be sticking to ICS now.
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
shutter speed is the same and UI and everything :(
[Galaxy S II General] MasterTB:
Nostly the same as LPB to me, Facebook and Twitter accounts don't sync contacts, that sucks for me.

The other things show really a BETA face.

Good firmware but GB is still better for everyday since it is a final FW obviously.

Good to see where samsung is going though.
[Galaxy S II General] heldchen:
i tried the rom for two hours and now went back to 2.3.6

there are mainly three things i just could not stand:

the margins/paddings and font sizes seem way too huge (f.e. in the email app). some settings titles aren't even fully readable due to the too large font.

in the browser on the other hand, the new default font is hardly readable. just try to load an xda form thread in the browser in portrait mode - no text is readable, whereas in GB it's crips and easily readable

"Phone" and "Contacts" seem totally separate apps now. why the phone app does not even have the full list of contacts for browsing is beyond my understanding, isn't that what you want in 99% of all cases? also the favorites section is utterly useless with the huge tile-like entries

that, and other small details makes it really unpolished for my taste, compared to the latest gingerbread roms... :(
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
Updated from LPB (no wipe).hit some terrible issues with contacts.app would hang,as would third party context apps. Dialer too

Deleted all contracts and started a fresh sync.initially things worked then contracts went nutty again. Reboot didn't help

No issue with LPB which I've now gone back to.

May try again tomorrow, possibly doing a full wipe

Thanks for this post

But one very important thing are not here.

Usb for: pendrive-keyboard-mouse-gamepad-other??

In gingerbread roms pendrive-keyboard-mouse was working

In ice cream xxklpb 4.03 only pendrive was working

Now I tried and :

mouse-keyboard NOTHING

pendrive ok but this was running in xxklpb

In theory in honeycomb usb gamepads are working (ps3-xbox,others.)

In ice cream should to work

But the really is very different ,

usb ice cream is worst than usb gingerbread because in gingerbread rom was running pendrive-mouse-keyboard without problem.

I return to very fast xxkl1 2.3.6 open europe modded by criskelo v38

I think mail is still crap!!

I already made connection to exchange but in last 30 min I already had two messages "unable to connect to exchange" (or something like that)..

Also again I can't create account's for my other emails ( @t-com.me, @co.me).. I can't believe that they can't fix that..:mad:

Well again I'll have to deinstall stock mail and install Enhanced email..

i have some issues with some apps but i think it's because the apps not optimize on ics
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
tried it for 10 minutes, reverted to CM9. It's definitely better than LPB, but it feels like Gingerbread 2.5 rather than the complete UI change in ICS. You get the features, not the looks.
[Galaxy S II General] more2come:
I must say, I am very pleased with this release. It's stable, it's fast and I like the ICS features!

Only app that makes trouble is the Chrome Beta... It looks just great, but at some point it crashes really hard and won't work anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] cyberon:
Few thing i noticed during my tests:

- Ringtone + Vibration is gone;

- The Social Hub widget keeps trying to update and never stops, making the phone sluggish;

- Notification bar is accessible from lock-screen;

- Touch-sensitive keys vibration is very week.

Overall experience is very good.

Why did samsung go backwards on this??
[Galaxy S II General] jerome.d:
What do you mean? It's impossible, when receiving a call, to have the phone simultaneously ring and vibrate? It's either one or the other?

[Galaxy S II General] hanhav:
You can use Audio Manager or similar to make phone vibrate and ring at the same time.

[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
of course can open, no problem with contact app.
[Galaxy S II General] MasterTB:
HOW?!?!?!

Please do tell where is the option for that and show me a screenshot so I know what I'm doing wrong!!

I hate the facebook app and I'm not giving up on this matter, if I cannot sync through social hub I'm going back to GB.

Some help please??
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
nevermind, whatever it is, i cannot take screenshot only, other features not a problem. Its a small problem so its okay, i will do a full wipe when ICS is official release to make sure nothing goes wrong,
[Galaxy S II General] Try4Ce:
"of course" ? I heard quite some complaints already about contact app crashes ... I simply cant open it. Its a complete clean flash, so there must be something wrong.

I did setup Whatsapp, Google and Google+ with Contact Sync... Maybe thats something to look into?
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
social hub is crap. Didn't even use it when on gingerbread. (:
[Galaxy S II General] seghier:
i test this rom and no connection to internet when using usb modem
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Works fine contacts. I have more 1200 contacts, sync with TouchDown.

All great
[Galaxy S II General] MasterTB:
Good for you :)

I need it, it makes my life easier, now If I only new why other people seem to be able to sync facebook and twitter contacts when there is no option for that in the firmware I'll be happy.

Or maybe I'm right and there is NO OPTION, in which case I can go back to GB and come to ICS when samsung gets it right.
[Galaxy S II General] Try4Ce:
Maybe its because of the Deodexed Version I use. Going to try out the original odexed one now.
[Galaxy S II General] MasterTB:
Now with a capture

It's me, again with the Social Hub thing...

In the capture attached you will see what I see on GB (2.3.6 XWLA4)

On ICS LPB and LPH I don't see that. Only SNS and Calendar are synced, nothing about contacts.

If anyone is seeing Contacts on the list, PLEASE tell me so that I can try to fix it.

I have flashed this thing in any forms I know of, and I always do a full wipe because I use CWM backups to go back to GB If I don't like what I'm flashing.

Thanks for your patience.
[Galaxy S II General] Try4Ce:
Seems like that as soon as you flash the CF Root kernel, no matter what, the contacts app gets wasted.

WTF Samsung?!? You want us to not root anymore, eh? NOT cool, NOT cool!
[Galaxy S II General] method77:
I like the lockscreen. Am I the only one?
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
New Google talk v4.0.3 having bug?

Sign in but all contact including myself is grey out with a cross ( offline) in the status indicator.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I am sure the screen lock isn't set to None under Settings/Security, right?

Anyway, contacts do work, no issues at all.

But found some issues, Chrome doesn't work, freezes after opening. How on earth you could edit text in the stock browser, wherever I click the cursor just won't move to my desired location, that's damn irritating. Also only default font is applicable in the stock browser and some other apps like Calendar and etc.

Added them as Cons.

It works on both method. You just need to hold down Vol Down and Power at a time for at least one second.

PS- Is Chrome beta working for you guys? Mine is freezing all time !!!
[Galaxy S II General] varunkumars:
I like ICS ROMS but my only gripe is the size of the icons on the notification bar. For example gmail icon looks awfully big on the notification bar, download complete icon and few other icons too. Earlier it was small and fancy. I would be really great full if someone could show me a way to revert this back.

How many of you think the same ?
[Galaxy S II General] maltloaf:
Contacts app not working for me either. Mine is stock but rooted and deodexed/zipaligned

just sits on black screen.
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
And conversely I had issues even before rooting. I flashed about 5 times - a combination of samfirmware, frankenstein, upgrade, wipe, root, noroot - contacts issues *every* time.

After a clean restore I did notice contacts initially worked. This was while the contacts were syncing with google. In fact my other sync accounts hadn't been set up, so it can only be some of the google contacts that did it.

I have 470 contacts in 6 folders in gmail

I'm also a google+ user and have 11 circles with 1113 members -- though I'm not sure those were syncing

The contacts are relatively clean (deduped)
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
try already, screenshot not working and google talk keep displaying offline. I will bear with it for now.

I think its due to my upgrade from XWLA4 v2.3.6 non-wipe to XXLPH v4.0.3 non-wipe causing some issue within the /data or system conflict, i don't know.

When official ICS is release i will perform a clean wipe upgrade to prevent these problems from happening again, new official ICS must start brand new! Thanks anyway! (:

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:

Anyway, there is no Contact problem whatsoever.
[Galaxy S II General] maltloaf:
It means the thread that linked to the package I downloaded seems to have been deleted.

just because you have no problem with the contacts app, doesn't mean there isn't one.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I have NO idea from where you have downloaded the ROM, but I am quite sure everyone who downloaded this from sammobile and flashed properly, by properly I mean with Odin, then NO you won't have Contact problem, that much I can say.

Anyone flashed the ROM with Mobile Odin or downloaded the ROM from anywhere else please don't comment here, as it could mislead badly.

You are right except one thing, you mentioned earlier that you are using deodexed/zipaligned rom

so you have to deal and report your problems in the thread where you downloaded the rom, not here. This thread is for stock odexed downloaded from Sammobile and flashed with Odin/Mobile Odin, its not for deodexed, zipaligned, cwm packages etc mods.

bowing out from this particular love in

[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
To clarify, I've had the "contacts problem" just by flashing the rom image straight from sammobile via PC Odin. So that's a full wipe.

I've also tried other rom variations which exhibit the same issue.

Since I'd previously had contacts working UNTIL google sync got to a certain point, I'd be pretty sure it in some way relates to the data in my google contacts. Something in there -- and in the contacts of others seeing this problem, is causing contacts to stop working.

It could be quantity, groups, certain fields -- I have no idea yet, but I'm very sure there is a problem there. If not affected that's brilliant - as it looks as if it is otherwise a good rom.
