Well I am going to try the rom in Canada on Bell but I hate the Increasing ring problem. Is there a fix to this for this ROM. Like hacked Phone.apk (LPQ). Can I use the hacked Phone.apk from YG07 or no?
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:

Absolutely... First ICS official rom from Samsung is laggy-hell.

I'm back on CM9, much faster.
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
CM9 is even laggier
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
I get the impression ICS is not going down well. A lot of unhappy campers out there.
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
They have had months yet produce a rom slower & more clunky than gingerbread.

It's supposed to be an upgrade not a downgrade.

It really makes me question Samsung's software development team, I don't understand how they could go from a super fast gingerbread to a slow jerky ICS.

Software can make or break a phone, software is the reason why people have nexus devices & to me, Samsung have failed on ICS (in my opinion)
[Galaxy S II General] Idan73:
Yeah! Same ones that were crying for ics and we're not happy before with gingerbread either.

Then, they'll buy Galaxy Nexus and will not be happy.
[Galaxy S II General] estreito:
Don't know why so many people are saying ics release is slow... Flashed mine, and my opinion is that it is very fast, and the upgrades on the browser more than make up for the hassle of doing a full wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
I was on gingerbread 2.3.4 (so not even one of the latest GB roms), and it easily ran at x2 the speed of ICS that samsung have released.

Not to mention, all apps run perfectly, custom kernels, tweaks etc are also available too.

But stock vs stock, ICS is way behind 2.3.4 for speed & smoothness. (and im finding it very hard to understand why... Its not even a new touchwiz to blame the slowness on.)
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
I don't really see how the G Nexus has any real positives over the s2 personally i prefer to have a phone i can add memory to with an sd card! Certainly one of the limitations of the (dare i say it) iphone...still each to their own, i love my phone and can't wait till ics!

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I don't no if there is any. But I forgot to mention that even the vibration now doesn't start with the incoming call, it stucks there for 2 seconds, then zzzzzzz.

Well you're wrong there ;)

BTW- Someone was mentioning some 'Social hub' problem, what is it?

The sad thing is I think the SGS3 will be Samsung's main focus now, I wouldn't be surprised to see a brand new version of TW running silky smooth on ICS in an attempted to get you to upgrade to the SGS3
[Galaxy S II General] adamski123:
I have to agree with everyone. The scrolling on lpq is awful and jerky. Whereas switching to hyperdroid v6 which is 3 months old and it works fine. Smooth as silk.

Samsung have seriously cocked up in my eyes.
[Galaxy S II General] Chef_Tony:
Yes, you can read all about it in the post i linked earlier: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23687912&postcount=10

I wasn't exactly scientific when it came to discribing it, but basically, it works entirely different from the GB version (which is not a bug per-say) but the number of new messages is not consistent from the voice announcement (one new email) over the social hub icon to your combined inbox and then single account inbox.

while we are at it, i like that they partly fixed the announcement. even though my phone is set to german, the announcement is still english, as it was on gingerbread, but it finally doesn't say "one new email

s

" anymore. that didn't make any sense.

Its not the most stable thing in the world... For me here on XXLPQ, the phone will crash and go back to the Samsung boot animation after listening to audio over A2DP after about 12-15 minutes. Happens every time...:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] etotheo:
Ya last night my data went down... and has been down ever since. No 4G or 3G. Called my cell provider and everything is fine on their end. Not sure what's up.

I flashed over to XXLPQ last Tuesday and worked fine for 3 days and now nothing. I'm a little new to this all - I've only had my S2 for almost a month now (first android).

So any suggestions would be appreciated. Re-flash? Maybe back to GB?

I'm in Canada, so the international version of the S2 (GT-I9100M).

Solution for Slow/laggy scrolling in ICS

This soultion works in almost all applications I've tested today.

All you have to do is activate "Force GPU rendering" in developer options.
[Galaxy S II General] omeryounos:
Switch to ICS LP7 much better scroll response close to GB.
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
Absolutely agree. I don't understand why people here are saying it's slow compared to GB firmwares. To me, almost everything is faster and smoother, including the scrolling in apps, the browser, etc.

With the new xda app, I always have laggyness in GB firmwares in scrolling downward a thread containing pics. In ICS firmwares, the laggyness is reduced a lot.

The only thing that is a downgrade, IMO, is the battery life. Besides the battery life, samsung's ics firmware is good already.

(using XXLP7 as I'm an indonesian)
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Id rather prefer GNexus at least for the following reasons:

1. Software: Samsung seems to have 1080p video recording, but it is zoomed already and there is no option for zoom, however Nexus allows to 5x zoom while capturing 1080p. Video quality is the same in daylight, but in the night Nexus on par superior. So what's the point to have 8 megapixels?

2. Well video recorded in 1080p, but video editing software on SGS2 sucks in comparison to Google Movie Studio. Even if you decided to use Samsung video editor you have no option to export in 1080p. WTF Samsung, what is the point to shoot in 1080p if it lacks feature to export project in 1080p? Very sad Sammy.*

3. Openness for the source code: again Samsung sucks. Google Nexus or whatever Google phone has all necessary propriety and source code for development and serious ones up to date .

4. Audio quality sucks in SGS2 cause it incorporates yamaha audio card, definitely worse in comparison to Texas instruments being incorporated in NexusAnd so on...

Just I've got no time list all of them.

[Galaxy S II General] Idan73:
Except #3 which is conceded by all, you seem good at listing specs and reviews, but I rather doubt you have much personal experience with gn. If you did, you would list as many negatives as positives. You seem convinced though, so there's nothing stopping you selling gs2 and getting gn. Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] ballmead:
Ok so this time I did a full wipe and reinstalled the software and it is much more stable now.

[Galaxy S II General] Emp_M:
Is anyone else running XXLPQ finding that the messaging app is extremely sluggish and unresponsive? I try to reply to a text and sometimes it can take half a minute before I can start replying after pressing on the message notification, or opening the messaging app. I can open up any other app faster than what they did when I was running 2.3.3 or 2.3.6 except for messaging and it's really irritating because I mostly only need to reply with a short message and so waiting for it to start up makes replying several times longer.

[Galaxy S II General] Alienfreak:
Are you still around putting your whine everywhere?
[Galaxy S II General] Chef_Tony:
just found another huge bug:

allshare does not work - at all!

first of all, it wants you to connect to a wi-fi through the app, even if you are already connected, which doesn't make any sense. only after you switched your AP (lucky my access point distributes several networks), you can actually open the app.

and every single video from my windows server 2003 serviio dlna server, which worked with gingerbread and all other devices in the house, brings up the error 'unsupported file format'.

everything worked perfect before, i could stream from my server to my phone, from my phone to my tv, or even from the server to the tv through the phone.

man, this is BS.

can someone please provide the old allshare apk from gingerbread (possibly from KK or higher) or tell me where i can find it?

EDIT: also, it does not show correct folder names, it abbreviates them randomly and adds a dot at the end.
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
Yes I am because it's a crap release.
[Galaxy S II General] Alienfreak:
Dude. Get a grip.

Your all so glorious HTC also releases its ICS with Sense 3.6 and Sense 4.0 will only be available with the ONE series as it is now.

Apple also leaves out features like Siri if you don't have the actual model.

You wanted a Samsung with TouchWiz. Now you have TouchWiz. You got what you paid for.

Except nearly everything is working 100% with this release. Scrolling is intended to be like it and the Battery Life actually improved as did the speed in Apps etc pp.

So could you PLEASE now stop complaining about your precious eye candy?

Just install NOVA Launcher or Trebuchet if you want the ICS look that bad.
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
To be fair sense 3.6 looks more polished and ICS like than TW does. At least they attempted to tweak it somewhat. One of my main dissapointments is the folders... ICS brought a new very cool way to make folders.. Samsung totally left this out, so we still have ugly beige folders that do not fit at all.

[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Allshare is working well for me, no issues like what you described above, just started the app, was detected be the television, streamed a video.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Lol, installing Apex Launcher would solve the problem faster than the time it took you make your post.

Complaining about the software that you bought your device with (while there exists solutions to the complaints) is a good waste of time.

Samsung is dammed if they don't and dammed if they do. I'm enjoying ICS thoroughly though, can't wait for kernel sources.
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
Did you not read my post? I am not expecting samsung to go stock ics, but the could have made a better effort to update tw somewhat, its not that much to ask..jesus. So many apologists here with a bee up their arse. smh
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
You'll need to wait for the SGSIII for an updated version of TW.
[Galaxy S II General] pigeldi:
On mine, ICS is much more fluid, especially scrolling between screens, GB is far behind.

Of course you don't have all those custome kernels, tweaks, etc. YET, but what do you expect when a new major release comes out?

I let battery monitor running during the night.

[Galaxy S II General] Alco64:
Only been on FOXHOUND 0.5 ICS (LPQ) for a couple of days. Still on my first charge.

The first 16hours of battery, I didn't touch it after I unplugged it. It literally only used 4% battery in 16 hours!!! I was blown away.

Then I used it for about an hour to an hour and a half and it drained it to 60% fairly quickly as you would expect.

Do you guys have force gpu on? It gives me FCs etc, makes it barely usable..
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
New lockscreen is cool. Call UI is cool too.

Not everyone agrees to your "must be fixed" list. Dislikings are just subjective problems. It's the same as liking stock ics look more than touchwiz. Better if you just put bugs on the list.
[Galaxy S II General] Alco64:
New lockscreen is "okay". It's functional but it could be so much better.

Call UI is nothing out standing. But always room for improvement

Bees or not, facts will remain facts ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
I have it enabled on my device, and thus far I can't attribute any specific force close to it

Is it a particular app, or is it random apps?
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
That's Google’s fault, they save a very low quality image, so when your contacts are synced from Gmail, it restores a low quality image.

[Galaxy S II General] Chef_Tony:
you guys don't have the allshare bug? that's odd, but good for you.

actually, the combination of that bug and the social hub makes me change back to 2.3.6 tonight. those are the things i use most. those stupid dots in the folder names are not present on the server, everything is named correctly and not abbreviated. also, the names change when scrolling/navigating through, you can see, i attempted to play the pilot of the big bang theory, when i opened it, the folder displayed as "Big Bang Theory, The" (correct), afterwards it displayed as "Big Bang T." and that cannot work. I mean, look at that crap in the 3rd screenshot, how am I supposed to know, which one is Breaking In and which one is Breaking Bad? After all, one is a great show with deep characters, great writing, drama, suspense and awesome actors, and the other one is breaking bad! (just kidding).

Don't get me wrong, I am not a complainer. I was over all satisfied with this release, the animations are nice, face2unlock works astonishingly great, chrome is nice...

if just they had left the samsung apps the way they were or improved them (like the music app, nice work there), instead of breaking them... This makes me a sad panda.
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
No issues on LP7. Flash instead of LPQ if that is in fact what you're running IMO
[Galaxy S II General] Chef_Tony:
thanks for the suggestion. indeed, i am currently running lpq, but lp7 is out of the question due to its lack of languages. i could live with only english us or uk for voice input and output and overall system language, but without german keyboard and xt9 dictionary, typing sms/emails/whatsapp would be annoying.

i have faith that samsung will sort it out and the next european rom will probably be way better and actually usable for me. after all, the very first 2.3 rom i used, ke2 2.3.3 was pretty terrible as well. it takes some time to make it perfect and i understand that.
[Galaxy S II General] Espon:
Am getting high ram usage (around 450mb idle free after I kill every app).

For those that fond the LPQ scrolling bothersome and can't use LP7 due to language support, there is a thread describing a method to use some files from LPH to replace those in LPQ that "supposedly" fixes the scrolling issues.

Upgrading through Odin

Hi. I'm a beginner. But I've flashed a few times some custom ROMs on my Galaxy S2 and every time they were successful. I always follow the instructions properly.

My question is : Can I flash the ICS XXLPQ (on top of Gingerbread 2.3.6 XWKL1 baseband DDKL1, kernel 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKL1-CL809037 root@DELLBUILDER12 #2) , and keep all my old apps that I already have installed, just like it hapens if you update the firmware through Kies?

I don't want to backup anything using any tools to backup apps. Just want to mimic the Kies update, where you don't have to backup your apps manually and you still wouldn't lose them during the upgrade (if nothing odd happens!).

Thank you for your help.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
It is possible to update from your current Rom to ICS, but there can be 3 general results.

1. You can update and everything runs smoothly during and after the upgrade.

2. You can update and your phone won't boot, so you may need to do a factory reset in recovery.

3. You can update and your phone boots and you start getting Force Closes or slowdowns or even reboots, at this point you still have to do a factory reset to get your device running optimally.

Remember, this is a huge update and it is impossible to predict the results as every device is set up differently, therefore leading to the above 3 "general" results

Personally I updated from XILA2 and I had no issues, but I still did a factory reset to avoid any future issues
[Galaxy S II General] E_Keeper:
Official ICS is good, but some sharp.

1. Video record camera is bad

2. Freeze and reboot sometimes

4.0.3 is faster and smoother than 2.3.6 but commonly GB is better. Couple months and open sources of ICS 4.0.3 for developers and ICS will be more friendly
[Galaxy S II General] dublade:
I agree with first post and I add my impression:

I think Google Talk for Ice Cream Sandwich is better than GT for Ginger Bread.

You can now login with more than one account and chat with yourself :D

By the way I think is a good feature but Samsung should fix some other bugs to obtain a good Firmware :)
[Galaxy S II General] ioddrine:

I installed 3G ICS XXLPQ firmware yesterday through Odin.

No major problem. Everything works smoothly.

But today I revert back to GB because of 2 issues..

1) over heating - even while charging in a room the phone shows the temperature over 50C regularly and during call it becomes difficult to touch with ear or even hold it for longer than a minute..

2) Market Applications incompatibility.. Different small utilities ( not so popular) stop working or behaving differently.

After that experience I decided to wait for the next upgrade from google... Till that time Long Live GingerBread...
