Don't hold your breath.

I doubt we'll see it any time before late June and I'm willing to bet on that (yes, you can quote me on that and I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong).

If by the time the GS3 is released there is still no official ICS for the ZTA CSC, I'll be selling my GS2 on Mercado Livre (aka Brazilian eBay) and buy a GS3 (I have huge discounts on my plan).

I'll be meeting some Samsung people (from the phones & tablets tech dept) in a few days (April 2nd) to discuss another project I have going on. Some people from a large operator in Brazil will also be present. I'll ask them what is the expected date for ICS to be released for our GS2.

I'll let you guys know what they tell me.

......."In a statement, Samsung confirm an oversight led to all S2 beta handsets being inadvertently sold. Samsung QA and UAT teams were left with no choice but to whittle new S2 devices from bits of wood and junk lying around the office. This led to an unexpected delay in the testing of the ICS... Samsung apologised for the 'bungle' but praised it's test team on making excellent progress fixing bugs with ICS while loaded on an old gym shoe"...

Wifi Problems

Hi:

Thanks for the great work you have done.

I installed on my Galaxy SII I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 the official ROM and then I rooteado with: CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip.

One problem I have is with the wifi. When I turn on the phone is perfect. But if I turn off the wifi (for battery saving ) when I turn on again, it takes to connect, sometimes several minutes.

Another problem is, that after rebooting the phone there are programs that do not work for 10 or more: gallery, camera, ... and I get "Media Scan operation"

Thanks and Sorry for my translation.

[Galaxy S II General] arthurd123:
Sounds good to me to be honest I will wait for the official release, went back to GB for now and THE only significant improvement I have noticed was the battery life.

I have noticed when still on ICS my batter showed around 75% when I flashed it back to GB the battery showed 25% and an alert to plug it in came on straight after that.

Happy days....

XXLPQ and XXLP7 both work great, signal & modem are strong and installed off 2.3.5 perfectly just do a wipe after install....only one issue that I can't seem to get any response or resolve for is that Names from your phone book, will only show up as the senders number, even if I text some one there name will show in messaging but at soon as they reply their name changes to a their mobile number...don't waste yr time with chomp SMS or go SMS as these both have ICS related bugs where the message sent arrives to the recipient repeated.

update: have installed the XXLP2 single file, this works perfectly in New Zealand, full signal, has a little more bloatware but easily deleted...and SMS issues on stock messaging has disappeared, names are showing in messaging app instead of phone numbers from my listed contacts

Note to anyone in the UK or Australia wanting to upgrade to ics

Go ahead.

All of these firmwares are supported in your area. No need to wait for your local area release.

I recommend LP7 as it has given me the least issues.

Same goes for those in Brazil.

To my knowledge only Japan and Korea use a different unsupported cellular bandwidth that requires different modem, etc...

So if you are anywhere else you should be good to go.

[Galaxy S II General] v1rtu4l:
my problem with your post is: you have no clue what you are talking about...

when i had kies installed it often asked me to connect the wave s8530 to it, because an update would be available. this is without the phone even being connected to my computer for more than a month. kies does log which devices were used with it and than check if there is an update for the phones last known firmware. i used kies primarily for the backup of contacts and so kies did know about the s8530 from my girlfriend and my galaxy s2 and for both devices it told me i could upgrade the firmware at different times without the phones being connected to the computer

Thanks, instructions are pretty basic tbh. I know how to flash etc just not sure which ones to do!

I assume I need to wipe cache / data as well?

Also, can I restore my apps with titanium backup or is it best to install them manually due to compatibility?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
Try titanium but people have reported errors...

I found when I opened up market it updated them to the correct versions..

hey u need to root bcoz u need CWM recovery to work to install the zip file (the rom), so root your phone, get "cf root kernel" for whatever kernel version u currently have...only then u can instal the zip file using CWM recovery. otherwise u cant.

if u are not aware of how to root, there are lots of posts about how to root..just check through the internet...!

last tip: just roothing is not enough, after rooting, u should successfully instal the insecure kernel that has the CWM (clockworj mod recovery) package that supports ur current version....!!

For me the audio of the SG2 and the stock player with earphones is amazing even on gingerbread or this rom.

Try the "Rock" preset on the EQ and "Wide" sound effect that´s the way I get the best sound.

Instructions

=========

1) Download Bootloader;

2) switch off phone

3) insert "jig"

4) When the green Android pops up you will notice "counter" is set to "no"

5) Remove JIG and Restart phone
