Can't see it being that much differnt then?
[Galaxy S II General] MA14NEY:
Flashed here, screen response was poor and no network connection was found. Reverting back to VillainRom until better release comes out.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Which LPQ or I9100ZSLPE
[Galaxy S II General] zolif999:
Thanks a lot! I will give it a try...:)
[Galaxy S II General] Padres_84:
What about battery life?
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
16 hrs so far, still @ 80% :D Normal use def not heavy.
[Galaxy S II General] paneity:
Agreed.

Admittedly, I've not used firmware since about May 2011, but even so...

I flashed I9100XXLPQ (from stock) in a blaze of optimism, only to find my previously checkROM'd and NEAK'd GS2 with erratic, laggy, scrolling; FCs all over the place; and taking about 120seconds to boot from cold like a really shoddy PC

Shocking, if this is what passes for firmwares these days.

After a mere 36 hours, I'm back to GB, with a phone which still feels streets ahead of the competition
[Galaxy S II General] Rigby2011:
Well i think we have complete new ore update soon.

Samsung is also not happy what they build.

[Galaxy S II General] mathsmart:
they should take note on the devs out there , they are really great and can simply make the thing more secure and fast just like apple did with a small security test if you compare to android Im just not safe to let my credit card over my gs2 phone than I was on iPhone just talking about theme at first ISH sammy what are you doing damn ! its damn old and EURKK cmon even a 15 years old kid can make a decent rom with nice theme on it over XDA !
[Galaxy S II General] Borisdmitri:
Worked fine for me...

Hello,

I would like to ask You how to flash my S2 to stock 2.3.4(6) firmware. I'm verry disappointed of ISC. I'm so sorry now therefore flash my S2 with "official" firmware uploaded in first post. It very unstable, a lot of issues, very poor display driver. I'm done everything as described.

Testing on Bell SgS2 (Canada)

Hi all,

updated using the single file (I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5)

placed it in the PDA section of ODIN (3 v 1.85)

did not wipe phone

I have a Bell SgS2 (Canada) that had previously been updated to 2.3.5

worked like a charm, no problems updating. Battery is holding up pretty good. A few apps updated afterwards, came with Google play already installed (it was already installed as such on my previous build). All other apps were there and working great (memo app kept all memos!)

Problems and/or observations about the new build

- Don't see the fancy 3d scrolling when changing pages in app drawer or normal desktop view. I don't know if it is because they dropped it in the final build

- Had the phone freeze for a few seconds a few times at the very beginning, but things seem to have stabilized now.

- Can't get rid of 'Software update' notification, as it gives me a connection error when I try to confirm the disclaimer.

-Don't know how to change the default 4 apps at the bottom.... doesn't work like it used to. Any clue?

-Don't know how to resize widgets... doesn't seem to work

- I thought you could drag applications icons on top of each other in ICS to create folders easily, doesn't work here.

Will add stuff as I test it further.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
Some of the cosmetic features of ics that people are missing out on is because it has a touchwiz launcher...

Try out apex or nova for a more is like experience..at the moment touchwin is taking the is cosmetic away...so it doesn't look much different.

For true ics wait until cm9 is fully stable and available

--A life? ... i can flash that in cwm right?!

Doesnt lock the screen when i push the right side button!

Doesnt give me an menu when i keep pushed the left side button!

I got another SGS2 with another version of ICS and the same version i tryied after urs but still the same!

What is about? What i have to do ?

Please give me an advice or something to do!

Thanks a lot and hope u can find a sollution for my problems!
[Galaxy S II General] JBTY:
Guys this works perfectly with the Claro Puerto Rico Galaxy S 2 I9100 just so you know and galaxy s unlock from the play store still works as well for sim unlock.

Also Triangle-away works like a charm!
[Galaxy S II General] daz_2000:
Whats the best one to use the 3 file package or the 1 file package. Not rooted nor do I plan to. Thanks Daz
[Galaxy S II General] aliniulian23:
I have tried to use the sgs2simunlock but keep tells me that it is not blocked! When i put a sim card from Cosmote doesnt ask me about the pin or something elsr just booting till the first screen and then nothing! Doesnt get signal on it BUT after i installed 2.2.3 and works very good! Why not on ICS!?
[Galaxy S II General] Nyx2008:
Could it be that this CF rooted kernel does not allow deep sleep? I am experiencing very bad battery life with the new XXLPQ ROM. All I did was flash the ROM through Odin, and then this kernel to get root. With average use I only get around 6 hours of battery life..

Screen was only on for just over 2.5 hours..

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

Maybe someone could post the original XXLPQ kernel, so I can flash that one and see if there is a difference..
[Galaxy S II General] danmullen:
I have to say that, although I haven't had any other issues with this ROM and CF-Root, my battery life does seem very poor. Android OS seems to be making the phone stay awake for hours at a time.
[Galaxy S II General] Nyx2008:
Same here, I just flashed CF-root kernel 5.4. I'll monitor if my phone goes into deep sleep now.
[Galaxy S II General] padovaz:
Same thoughts here

I feel your pain. Sammy just took all the ICS coolness and made it boring. What I see is a "Gingerbread Theme" running on a ICS.

Thanks God there is a MIUI v4 coming.
[Galaxy S II General] Dani01c:
Yeah I've installed this on several i9100s already, very nice and snappy
[Galaxy S II General] majo_scigo:
Do you know when?
[Galaxy S II General] Kipp34:
I am pretty happy with LPQ, the actual operation of the OS is very smooth and much quicker than GB.

One question I do have is Android OS in the battery use screen. I know I have read on this forum that it may not necessarily mean OS is using that much power, but I have noticed that under Use Details for Android OS, the Stay awake time is usually about a 3rd the uptime of the phone. My phone has been up for 11 hours and Stay awake for Android OS is 3.5 hours. Also, Android OS has used 108 MB of data since I installed the LPQ. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] pac213:
My Gallery keeps on crashing every time I set a picture to be my wallpaper. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Galaxy S II General] Mohafala:
I flashed the XEO official verson yesterday without a wipe and everything worked fine. All my apps were working. When I went to the battery setting, I had 2mins 30 sec left on my 78 %. Then, I reflashed it with a wipe and the battery was still giving me odd numbers but within the 6 hours for my full battery.

After using my phone in regular use, I find that the battery is almost 150% better than before. I use lots of wifi, games and music in the car but no data. I used to charge my phone daily but now I can do 1day and a half.

Flashed the CF 5.4 kernel today and will see how it reacts. I had the H+/3G constant switch before the kernel so I wanted to see if this will fix it.

So what I am saying is dont look at the % and try it real time to see if your battery is really getting drained.
[Galaxy S II General] neopheX:
FINALLY! Managed to get my jig to work and get rid of this god forsaken ICS release BS!

Just had to flash the old bootloader with litening rom then back to checkrom

i'll never use ICS its crap and i wont be using it for a fair while yet.

Too buggy and slow.. I think the next time i'll use it is when it actually is stable and checkROM dev's get a hold of it and make a stable fast release.

This one is just appalling
[Galaxy S II General] flydev:
no 1200mhz

cpu spy reports unused 1200mhz ...

i'm using cf-root ... anyone else?
[Galaxy S II General] Bratag:
You need to freeze all the crap that comes preinstalled. Once I did that I went to 95% deep sleep time. Also I recommend a wipe/titanium restore/wipe cache and dalvik cache and let the phone go through its little upgrading app thingy. That seemed to fix the majority of issues I was having.
[Galaxy S II General] Garoto1973:
Hi, I got my ICS updatethrough kies the same day it was released in europe. However my upgrade was the Trinidad and Tobago version I9100UHLPE.

Does anybody know if I can use the rooted kernel from this thread and apply it to my upgrade or should I wait for it to be available?
[Galaxy S II General] Shihan:
i dont suppose you could explain how you did it with heimdall? im tyring to do the same, but failing miserably.
[Galaxy S II General] Kipp34:
Does anyone else get the "select input method" in the notification bar every time you start typing anything?

When I access Language and Input in the settings menu, the Samsung keypad is greyed out as well (and I can't uncheck it).
[Galaxy S II General] dude2cool03:
I9100xxki3

Anyone knows any Official ICS Upgrade for Baseband XXKI3?? Please.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] scoobyy:
hi genus,

I'm experiencing the same problem with GPS form Sri Lanka. I suspect this is an issue arose due to modem incompatibility. Where are you from? Europe?
[Galaxy S II General] saze:
I registered just to say a BIG thank you to OP!! Installed using Odin as described and flashed rooted kernel on without wiping. On reboot 140 odd apps were "optimised" and the phone retained all the settings. Had to re-install a few apps and some are still acting up but its no biggie as these aren't essential to me.

Camcorder and voice recognition aren't working shockingly, but again are non-essential IMO, although I have realised just how often I actually use voice-recognition! More importantly though, the phone does lag slightly now although forcing GPU rendering seems to have alleviated the problem (either that or I have adjusted to it!).
[Galaxy S II General] astro_man26:
Same here. I have SwiftKey X installed and it asks me for input (in the notification pane, so it's unobtrusive) every time I type stuff. Goes away when the keyboard is not being used, so no biggie.
[Galaxy S II General] saze:
I thought that was a feature to be honest, and I would imagine the Samsung keyboard can't be uninstalled because it's a Samsung app.
[Galaxy S II General] nyunyu:
Anyone care to list what's working and what's not?
[Galaxy S II General] Shihan:
Nvm, turned out to be something to do with either ubuntu 10.10 + heimdall 1.3.x or something to do with my laptop (though i've used it before), tried different usb ports, etc but just kept failed with:

Handshaking with Loke...
ERROR: Failed to receive response!

I tried a different machine running 11.10 and it worked ok

For anyone else looking to do this via heimdall on the cmd line, unpack the packages somewhere and go (add the modem if you feel you need it with --modem modem.bin):

heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.img --cache cache.img --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zimage --data data.img

Im somewhat disappointed with samsungs efforts now that i've seen their ICS, much prefer the default ICS as it exists on my nexus s. Think i'll be switching the cyanogen mod when it becomes more stable in the ics incarnation.
[Galaxy S II General] RobinHoodSnr:
on MY phone...WiFi ( bad connection and download speed ) and touchscreen ( jerky and not sensitive )

Actually, i didn't even BOTHER to test the software further, as i immediately reverted back to my previous software...now my S2 is running smooth, connections great...and i just can't complain :)
[Galaxy S II General] pnevroq:
What's the point of this message? And you can't say "reverted back" it just makes no sense.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Very welcome

Hehe, very welcome matey, have a good one :)

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

I'm with you on that one mate :)

It's adviseable to have GPU Acceleration "ENABLED" for extra smoothless and fluid operating of the device, it doesn't really suck the battery or anything from my experience so far :) Plus increases screen responsiveness from what I've noticed :)
[Galaxy S II General] deathfrag:
- To get rid of the 'Software Update", goto Settings --> Applications --> Software Update (there'll be two, just select the green one)

and disable it.

- To change the default 4 apps, goto applications and then select edit. You can now drag and drop the bottom drawer icons.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Due to people asking questions answered in my post, i'll repost this as it is 20 or so pages behind now, and is still very much "new" and relevant, here it is :)

*NOTES*:

*~*THIS ROM DISABLES THE USE OF A USB JIG TO RESET YOUR CUSTOM ROM COUNTER (THIS IS NOT A CUSTOM ROM,

SO IF THIS IS YOUR ONLY ROM YOUR FLASHING, OR YOU'VE FLASHED ONLY OFFICIAL ROMS AND KERNELS, THEN THIS DOESN'T

MATTER TO YOU, YOU WILL NEED TO FLASH BACK TO AN EARLIER GB (2.3.6 OR EARLIER) TO USE THE JIG I BELIEVE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*~*

Okay so I have flashed the ROM over, the single .tar file, and it installed no problem, and setup no problem, so far so good, I will tell everyone what i've done so far

~ Things To Know:

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100GT Australian Unlocked Model

I had Android 2.3.6 Official ROM (I9100XWKK2_I9100XSAKK1_XSA) installed previously

I am using Odin V1.85

I downloaded ICS 4.0.3 (I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_XEO)

Here we go:

1. Backed up all my crap

2. Turned off phone and waited until 100% charge

3. Booted into Recovery (Hold Power and Vol Up while phone is off)

4. Wiped cache and did a full format/wipe

5. Rebooted and held down Vol Down and Power Button at the same time to

get into 'Download Mode'

6. Opened Odin v1.85

7. Mounted I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 in the PDA section

8. Clicked start

9. Once everyone completed successfully and the phone got into the setup menu, i skipped everything and went to the dialer and put in this code!

*2767*3855#

10. The phone will now go into a Factory Wipe mode, fully deleting everything and freshly again applying the ICS install

11. Once it is all setup and your at the home page, connect yourself to Samsung Updates if you wish, and software updates, and then restart your phone, it's always good to

restart to complete the setup and first time launching of a ROM on your phone, after that do as you wish :)

I will continue to update you as to how it runs, the stability for me, and perhaps battery life later on after it's had time to calibrate and do its thing

"MY" RESULTS:

Good Stuff

- Smooth

- Touchscreen is more responsive than LPB but still not 100% there, doesn't effect me though

- Transitions could be tweaked for even smoother feel

- No crashes yet except for programs that aren't compatible(1 and a half days heavy use)

- Tested "I Am Number 4" in 1080p MP4 file, not a hitch, great fluid playback

- Dragging items around on the home screen, and pinching in and out of the home screens is not laggy

- Dragging apps around on the home screens is smooth too, alot faster for me than GB

- WIFI is connected and working

- It has Swype installed and works great so far

- Instead of a blue neony light when you touch swype buttons as standard, they are now a yellowy orange instead

Bad Stuff

Cannot change wallpaper with 2D GPU Rendering enabled (disabled by default)

[Turn 2D GPU Rendering on AFTER you have configured your wallpapers, as it adds smoothness to the transitions]

I hope I helped!

Or gave some insight!

Please thank me if i've helped! button is over there --->
[Galaxy S II General] PatrickWu:
My device can't reboot after reflashing newest LPQ (only kernel) through Odin...

All screen is black and what's wrong with that?

Could someone else please help how to solve this problem?

Many and many thanks,
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Are you saying you can see nothing on your devices screen no matter what?

If so, take out the battery and keep it out for 90 seconds, then put it back in and attempt to turn it on and let us know if you see anything
[Galaxy S II General] reccaflare:
There're new games app that could not support on this..

Such as Samurai Vs Zombies Defences..

It don't allow to install in the USB storage..

Don't you need to clear or wipe any data on the phone internal storage?
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
You've got me a bit confused Reccaflare?

Do you mind extending on that in a bit more detail? :)
[Galaxy S II General] PatrickWu:
Screen is still black...:confused:

Just can see very beginning "Samsung I9100..." and then turn into black...
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Well seeing the logo is a start :)

Don't panic!

Try get into recovery (Turn off your phone)

and then:

Hold down the Volume Up button and the Power button at the SAME time and DO NOT LET GO OF EITHER until at the recovery screen, then clear cache and clear/wipe storage, if you manage to get that far, then pull the battery out of the phone and let me know! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Erlanderterv:
@Patrick:

The way I read this you only flashed the LPQ kernel and not the rest of LPQ.

If this is true then I would guess your old firmware is incompatible with the LPQ kernel.

You would need to flash the whole package.

On the other hand I may have misunderstood you.
[Galaxy S II General] PatrickWu:
Thanks for your reply.

Your understanding seems to be right as this might be because of incompatibility.

I'll try to flash all...have a good day!
[Galaxy S II General] Remeniz:
This setting will cause problems with setting home screen wallpapers, and a few other issues, and you will get forced close issues of the Gallery.

To be honest the only settings I tinker with in the Developer options is Window animation scale and Transition animation scale. Leave the rest alone.

Forget Force GPU rendering and DO NOT check Dont keep activities! It will cause app'/background program problems.

See above.
[Galaxy S II General] crobat:
It's working with the GNex so I believe it supports ICS. Maybe the problem lies with the /hosts file in LPQ. AdAway's not working too. :p
[Galaxy S II General] tenmichal:
I have a problem with it.

Mass storage: OK

Mouse: -

Keyboard: -

Has anyone solved this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Please read before implying I am not aware of the wallpaper problem, the user i told to enable gpu rendering was previously talking to me about that issue, and was asking if it should be turned on after he sets his wallpaper, which is advisable for the reasons I stated, I have not experienced any other issues with it enabled, with the gallery or anything, been running like a dream, so for users reading this, instead of being scared of enabling Force GPU Rendering go away from this with the knowledge that it's recommended to be enabled, but if you run into any issues such as crashing, disable GPU Rendering and see if the issue persists, if it does, then its safe to re enable the feature, Force GPU Rendering also increases touch screen responsiveness for some users, so please be aware of all of these before telling people to direcly 'LEAVE THIS FEATURE ALONE'

I will however agree you should leave "Don't keep activities" unchecked.

Thanks :)

Lockscreen

Flashed via Odin, took me an hour for it to see my phone. Windows kept trying to install a driver which it couldn't find, so eventually found Kies, downloaded and installed it, closed it down, plugged phone in, and the drivers started installing. Connected to Odin and finally saw the phone, didn't wipe data, and it flashed perfect, and kept all my apps, data & settings. Exchange mail didn't want to download, so just deleted my account and added it again, and worked.

The phone is quick, no lag, battery life the same as with Gingerbread. Disappointed in the lockscreen (touchwiz), no shortcust to camera etc, see no place where this can be added. Stupid "Swipe screen to unlock" at the top is annoying, how can one get rid of it, I know you have to swipe the screen.

Would ne nice to have had you next calendar item on the lockscreen.

Replaced the launcher with Apex Launcher, now at least my phone looks like ICS. There isn't any major improve, camera, gallery, phone dialer all looks the same
[Galaxy S II General] T-One:
I know those stuff, i have a Galaxy Nexus too, and compared with that phone its just ridiculous
