I updated to xxlpq and now I have problems initiating calls. When I call, although I have signal, my call is not completed. It only rings for half a second and then the call stops, and the person I'm trying to call only gets a missed call. I wish I never updated.

I dont find any issue with xxlpq/ddlp8 except for little sluggish scrolling. Rather this rom is the most stable in everyway. I get a backup of 3 days, 1% drop of battery in an hour in sleep mode without any tweaking or freezing of bloatwares or by managing data on schedules. :)

Non ics apps dont install, quite obvious, no issues :D

I wayted for the kies update loooong time, living in the UK and having a carrier free phone. I finnaly got the kies ics but with loads of problems. But then, I flashed back to 2.3.4 , (the polish version this time) and as soon as I checked for the OTA upate I got firstly a 2.3.5 and after reboot I got as well the ICS over the air. Hurray!!! And everything works smooth. No problems. Thanks everyone for the support.

I'm not happy with the update to ICS.

Android 4 is supposed to have smoother UI??? :confused::confused::confused:

I don't see any smoothness!:mad::mad::mad:

When scrolling home screen, the UI lag behind touch. swipe left/right a little fast, and my iphone fans friends make good joke with scrolling. :o
[Galaxy S II General] lurker316:
I have Stock UHLPE 4.0.3 installed and I don't see any scrolling issues. Even have Apex Launcher installed.

Initially the first time I used UHLPE 4.0.3, I noticed straight away that the scrolling was different. Its not "Laggy" per say, its more like some setting's been changed.

I just don't like TW and the dumb Unlock method now.

those running Galaxy S II official stock ICS, please help to verify. Thanks in advance!

Did Galaxy S II ICS firmware allow users to take photos while video recording?
[Galaxy S II General] Bayint Naung:
No I cannot find such features. Are you galaxy S user getting value pack update? :D
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Oh boy! You should use iPhone 1st generation.

There is no smoothness? :eek:

They sure could've done it better, but still this is the very first update from Samsung, and I can't say it's bad or something, no way. There sure will be more update coming and I am quite confident that things will be better.

I'll always prefer an overall stable upgrade over an eye candy one, providing one eye catching feature and then taking away one or two major feature is pretty kiddish IMO. The already perfect stuffs of Gingerbread wasn't given any attention, so what? I don't think an already perfect thing should be given major attention, time will automatically come when these things will be updated anyway, but now there are other important things to look out for.

Anyway, uploading a new video soon. Which will give you an idea of how things are, to those who still haven't flashed it.

On the side note, the standby backup of this ROM is the best I've seen, not a single wakelock for 6+ hours :cool: Battery life is the least thing I care about anyway, Android tout me to get used with charging my phone twice daily, why should I care then? :D

Funny faces.

Am I wrong, or is there something wrong with my ICS update because I can't find anywhere in filming mode camera the funny faces that Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus have with ICS. Why is that? Is this feature not included in the stock Samsung ICS XXLPQ for Galaxy SII ? I can confirm that I have the funny faces in Video Call vith Google Talk from my Galaxy S2. But that's all.
[Galaxy S II General] monitorix:
Now I've received the XXLPS over the air update but there is no funny faces feature included in this update either. Anybody has any ideea why?

[Galaxy S II General] flash608:
Currently on XXLP4. On every stock rom i`m on or even custom rom (currently Wannam 10.6) i`ve got problem with FC that take some time to close (in GB it was a lot faster) and sometimes it force me to restart my phone or it`s done by itself.

1. some apps does FC taking long time to close or restarting the phone

2. bluetooth talk with echo

3. widgets 1x1 doesn`t work

4. some games doesn`t work e.g Nova 2, gta3 even when reinstalled

5. very good battery in standby, but faster discharging when used

6. overall speed is various, sometimes GB is a lot faster

7. more RAM usage

8. sometimes problems with WiFi reconnection

...

there`s a too long list of not working things vs goods that we get (better task manager, transitions, gpu hardware acceleration, faster browser, nicer icon look (probably by dpi)) other things like faceunlock are worthless to me.

[Galaxy S II General] wltklah:
Do most of you really like the new type scrolling(free flow) from LP7?? I found it quite strange and not to my expectation when scrolling though. Most times it just fly over the content I was looking for. It sure feels like GB's scrolling, but not exactly though. When I do a really small swipe, it goes free flow at slow speed which makes me feel like I am in space or something. Ha! In terms of touch experiences, I found myself liking the LPQ scrolling behavior with custom kernel with touch sensitivity fix. LP7 on custom kernel with touch fix is way too sensitive. What do you guys think?
[Galaxy S II General] ksvictor:
Am I the only one who have random crashes with ICS 4.0.3?

I have been running LPQ and now LPS for some days. I tried with CF, Siyah and now Speedmod kernels.

With all I had in average 3 crashes a day. Most often what happens is that as I switch on the phone nothing happens. Only very seldom does it happens that it crashes during use. When I restart the phone the battery level have dropped ~10% :-(

I did a factory reset and wrote of the phone.

Is it just me who have these crashes our do others as well? Any tips on what to do?

PS. it scrolls smoothly at least :-)

I hate the scrolling its like you are pulling a string on the screen and when there is no slack left the string pulls tight and the screen starts responding. This is not natural behaviour. Also if you scroll with very small fast swipes I can consistantly reproduce a bug where the screen scrolls in the incorrect direction.

[Galaxy S II General] silverstorm:
I'm not sure what all of you are talking about...

I came from Intratech's KK5 2.3.6 rom and went to his XWLP8. I backed up my contacts, sms, logs, user apps through titanium and did a full wipe before flashing with ODIN.

It's a brilliant ROM, battery life more or less the same, can't think of going back to GB now.
[Galaxy S II General] stfudude:
SGS2 Development threads are messed up! I can't even find a good, stable, lagless, and beautiful ICS rom that is using samsung stock color scheme. Someone please suggest to me a good ICS custom rom...

I hate Samsung's bloatwares!!

My girlfriend hate AOSP rom, so I have to stay with Samsung stock rom... (she is using SGS2, and I'm using SGS1)

[Galaxy S II General] stfudude:
I'm quite optimistic that one day Samsung will release a bug-free ICS rom. maybe after SGS3 launch. ICS 4.0.4 should be the magic trick to get bug-free ICS roms.

[Galaxy S II General] frankimm:
They didnt change anything in the TW launcher, the **** thing is as it is.

At least HTC played around with Sense and added some new eye candy.

It doesnt even feel like an upgrade, They have the same old ****ty Samsung icons.

Could have put ICS icons at least. TW is ugly and boring.

Ill just wait for the idiots to release source code so that CM9 revives the spirit in me!

This is a big disappointment.

A shame that long pressing the toggles in the notification bar no longer brings up the respective settings menu. Was always useful to be able to hold the Bluetooth toggle to quickly enter the Bluetooth devices menu.

Unless of course I've completely miss-remembered, and it was a JKay mod that did this!

Alternatively you can use ics domination theme from vertumus.. Not only it gives an almost identical aosp looks, it also enables access to settings from the notification bar..

Jkay also contributed for the original ics lock screen.. check out its thread.. An update for lpq should be available soon..
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:
Last leak was not LPH btw

It was LPJ..

minor thing, but i did like the 3d tw launcher more then the official LPQ.

does anyone know if i can just replace the apk files ?
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
I just updated my phone to ICS update and it is stuck on S logo :(

Damn now im worried :(
[Galaxy S II General] galmok:
XXLPQ here...

Scrolling is really bad. Stutters and is generally unpredictable in speed. Similar to the scrolling on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, except not that bad, but nowhere as good as on GB (2.3.5).

This is the worst thing for me on 4.0.3 and if this isn't resolved soon, I'll dowgrade to 2.3.5 again (but how? I have no idea to do a nondestructive downgrade).
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
reflash if you get stuck somewhere.
[Galaxy S II General] Krookd:

[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
Its a problem when going from g.b to ics. I had the same when flashing the beta's that were non wipe when a wipe is really needed.
[Galaxy S II General] galmok:
Probably never. I really a stuttering scrolling experience with builtin lag/latency. The experience really lowers the quality of the phone a lot. Windows Phone is MUCH better with scrolling compared to ICS. iPhone as well. If a custom rom can fix this, I'll use a custom rom.

[Galaxy S II General] garment69:
Just finished flashing. Came from last ICS leak. Everything appears in order.

I'll throw my vote in for the TW Launcher from previous ICS leaks. I liked the 3D transition effect. Not a big fan of infinite scrolling. Not that big of a deal though. Waiting to see how battery life turns out.
[Galaxy S II General] e896285:
it's even worse than the previous version...
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Umm guys which app is showing the download and upload speed in the screenshots that is posted in the first post ?
[Galaxy S II General] sandmanza:
I really dont see why there are any complaints regarding speed or the noise reduction, for me its the fastest rom yet.

1 - I have noise reduction icon

2 - I get a quadrant score of 4091

3 - My scrolling is incredibly smooth.

4 - Bootup is very fast.

5 - Keyboards 100% responsive.

I did full wipe before flashing (Didnt format system though) use the XEO version. I let it sit for 5 mins after entering details, rebooted, did my core app installs I wanted, rebooted and that's that. I tried various ICS roms before this one so I do have a reference.

At a loss as to why others are experiencing problems.

I never had any particular love for CyanogenMod,up until version 7.With proper theming,I found stock ROM to be better(a little slower though),but things change with ICS.CM9 is prettier,faster,smoother,better than the stock ICS roms I've tried,even in its experimental state.

C'mon Samsung,I trust you can do better than that!Android is finally pretty by itself,why **** it up?At least I hope they publish the sources on time...

Sorry for being off-topic,but I just fail to understand your enthusiasm.If you find LPB,LPH,LPJ,LPQ etc good,then good for you.My suggestion is to give CM9 a try.Once MTP issues are resolved,bye bye stock ROM!

Flashed this ROM and CF-Root LPQ kernel a few hours ago and I'm also getting high battery drain and a warm phone. Checked CPU Spy and it's showing far too much time at 1200 MHz speed. Rebooting seems to help but only for a limited period, then back to 1200 again. It will Deep Sleep though.

I don't mind whether it's called CM9 or AOSP,I like both equally much.CyanogenMod has more features,but bleh,I can manage most stuff well enough with other means(That's what you get for being a long time HTC user ;) ).It's just that the lack of proper USB connectivity that's killing me...Anyway,thanks pal! :)
