Just a Question

Can I flash this rom on my SG2 from Chile without problems???

Thanks everyone!
[Galaxy S II General] woolhead:
just like that! thankfully they give you the option to change homescreen, and titanium backup let me get rid of most of it, including that god awful orange backup that seemed to kill my cpu and battery!

In terms of impressions it's good overall, but I regret the decision of making contacts and dialer separate. It's very stupid, and makes no sense! On top of that, I can't access dialer from contacts, which I need more because I more often use the contacts than dial an unknown number, though the other way round is possible!

Otherwise 4.0.3 is good with numerous small improvements.
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
that sums everything up nicely, thank you for this :-) Can you confirm how the voltage of your battery behaves? as in, how many mV millivolts is your battery putting out when you battery is at say 50% or 20%?

Also, your battery was at 7hours up, but 99% charge?? how is this if it is losing 0.77% perhour?

thanks again, nice work so far :-)

Turncoat

Well sorry guys, I lasted all of 3 charge cycles and 92 hours, but I went back to GB. The one thing noone has mentioned is LPQ solved the air horn blast and light show when you reach 100% charge. Just as I drifted off to sleep last night my brand new GB (CheckROM) blasted me fully awake...something LPQ did not do (I think). But I am happy to be back in GB. I'm duped into thinking I have ICS with themes until the masters of the universe can get the (just released!!) sources sorted.

Isn't the ATT/USA version an entirely different phone?
[Galaxy S II General] tezoide:
Waiting...

Like some of you, I have an unbranded S2 UK version and I'm still waiting for ICS via Kies. A few days ago I flashed the XXLPQ after a factory reset, but I found the overall performance to be worse than on Gingerbread: battery was worse, phone got unusually hot and general user experience was not as smooth. It was an anticlimax experience.To be honest the only good thing about stock ICS is the possibility to install Google Chrome beta... All the rest seems to be a bit over hyped. But that's just my opinion. Got back to GB 2.3.4 for the time being.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:

[Galaxy S II General] Borisdmitri:
For all those asking.

Go to your phone, open settings, about the phone, and look for model number (Translate that to your native language, in wich your phone is configured)

If it is GT-I9100 , without any other letter, YES YOU CAN. if it says something else, or has another letter (like G or P, or whatever) DON'T.

You can flash whatever version you like. the only Mayor difference will be the included languages.

There are too many questions, that can be handled just by looking at the model number.

And for those with american versions, wait until your carrier announce it.

Sorry if i'm beeing too rude.
[Galaxy S II General] Anfloyd:
Even if the UK release is significantly smoother and battery life better than the previously released firmware, I think I'm gonna stick with GB until Cyanogenmod come out with a stable version. Samsung has spoilt the clean lines and good looks of ICS if you ask me.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
I was just thinking the samething.. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Thank you, but i don't use any tool to monitor my voltages sorry.. (BMW consumes to much power :P)

regarding 99% after 7 hours, if you pull your charger lets say at 95% and you don't touch your phone, the battery level will still increase about 2-3% after unplugging, that's normal, my guess the batteries chemistry is still sorting the electrons somehow, so the first hours after unplugging are not reflecting the real status, that's one reason why i never charge to 100 percent, i often pull the charger at 95 %, it feels the battery lasts longer then, give it a try, maybe you will make the same experience ;)

If you are monitoring the voltage consumption, you will notice after unplugging the phone only consumes 2mA, then it raises to 15-17mA which is the normal value, ignore the very low display, its wrong.

CSC : I9100OJCKI1
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
thanks for the info. Well you are right about the chemistry of the battery, it's the same for all modern batteries, they exhibit a peak discharge when they are full (basically they give out more power for the first x amount of discharge, then it should level off), just not 7hours for 1 percent :/ odd... But I was curious about the voltage levels. Batteries, if healthy, should give a pretty constant voltage, it is just the current that changes as the battery discharges.. , Under ICS, I was seeing my voltage start at about 4.2V,,, then drop very quickly to 3.7V as the battery discharged. Under GB, it is pretty constant at about 4V... I'm thinking maybe I have a slightly duff battery (bear in mind I always charge correctly, and this is an original battery and pretty new) or that somehow the charging parameters, or current draw from ICS is significantly different to GB... Anyways.. I'll see what happens with ICS and most likely end up using a version of cyanogen once they iron out the many many bugs with version 9.. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Keith.Someone:
I'm using XXLPQ since its release without any issues. As with any ROMS/Kernels/MODs etc, make sure you make a full nandroid backup before installing anything. So if your phone is not rooted, make that your first step and there are loads of resources on this site to help with rooting Gingerbread.

[Galaxy S II General] mateash2002:
gotta be honest I'm a bit annoyed with Samsung that after waiting for so long for this update (1) they announced it way too early before its availability (2) I've read people complaining about it being buggy (3) most of the features that makes ICS great (UI, camera, gallery, lockscreen, contacts, phone, etc) are left out. So I was wondering if anybody knows a stable AOSP rom with all the features and if yes could you perhaps post a link.

Cheers dudes

LP7 on USA ATT

Flashed the Indonesian LP7 on my unlocked, (purchased in England) phone.

Running in the USA on ATT. SO far everthing is working perfectly. Much better then the LPQ firmware I had on previously, especially the Microsoft Exchange email for my business. Working perfectly.

Also GPS lock is much quicker. The hell with the UK release, I am sticking with the LP7 version for now.

[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
I've read through this thread and the guys website and I'm a bit confused. What is this exactly?

Do we:

1. Flash Stock ICS rom 4.0.3 (LPQ for example)

2. Root

3. Download ICS domination theme from his site for ICS

4. Use CWM to flash the zip file from his website..

then his zip file will install a theme over the top of the stock ICS Rom? Or is this like a Go Launcher theme??

. Also, the Hi res icons.. are these add on packs the same kind of thing, where you would just flash the zip file from recovery with CWM?

I dont like Go Launcher you see as it alwys seems to eat battery :/

WTF? That totally confused me. Lol. I had already gone ahead before seeing the reply, completely forgot to tick USB debugging, oops, seems ok though. I then used triangle away to get rid of triangle and reset binary counter.

Must do a back up at some point though.

Thanks for the reply, even if it has completely thrown me. Lol.

Anyway to get rid of the roaming icon?

Greetings peeps. So I flashed my Canadian Virgin SGSII with the XLPQ version of ICS, and while everything seems to be running like a dream, I did notice that I have the Roaming icon on all the time.

I've had this issue ever since I upgraded from 2.3.3 (which came on the phone when I bought it back in December). Tried different versions of Gingerbread, ICS and Cyanogenmod and nothing fixed the problem.

[Galaxy S II General] Keith.Someone:
As far as wiping your apps and data...it depends on the ROM you use. Some are wipe while others are non-wipe.

I haven't tried the mobile Odin Gingerbread to ICS route. I have done the PC Odin before but had some issues with a few FCs and apps like Swype not being available.I've also read numerous threads about apps and launchers that FC when upgrading from Gingerbread to ICS.

I made the decision to backup up via CWM and Titanium Backup, backup other files to my external SD card, remove the card and perform a factory format. That way I know that the issues I get are ICS/ROM related and not because of the upgrade process.

As always, if you have a nandroid backup, there's no harm in trying any upgrade method or ROM you like, as you can always return to your previous setup.
