Everyone's situation is different. For me, the pluses outweigh the minuses, so I'll be staying with it. Battery life is actually better for me with this ROM versus the SkyICS/faux combo I was running.

GPS was a little wonky on my drive home last night, but nothing that I would say was out of the ordinary.

I have not had any FC's, my only current issues are inbound calls failing and home button not working. I'll probably try a reflash this weekend with the extended cleanup and see how that goes.

Update: I installed the ICS Camera from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24152019#post24152019 and now my camera doesn't work, so don't do that... :)

Update2: I installed the proper CWM Touch version, wiped cache/Dalvik/fix permissions, and now the camera works! Home button and lock screen still don't work though.

This.

We need more honest post like this...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Do you think it's a conspiracy to sugar coat how well or poorly the leak is working?

I've seen plenty of posts where people were pretty happy with it.. Along with quite a few where people were having problems.. some major... some minor.

There's nothing in it for people to fabricate their results.

As has been mentioned time and again these leaks seem to have different results for different people. Battery has been normal for me (compared to GB). Here's some screens from yesterday - all said and done I was down to about 28% at 22h before I started charging again.

As well, I haven't been using it as much this morning but am at 94% at 2h19m58s with more minimal use.

One of the explanations I've seen is people are used to running custom kernels that have extended battery life, I never did so my battery drain comparisons are between stock GB and this ICS UCLC4 kernel.

I definitely don't think anyone is being dishonest, or sugar coating anything - heck even on stock I've seen issues on one phone that don't appear on another, and it can be as simple as what apps are installed or something more difficult that no one can seem to figure out.

i tried searching but i couldn;t find much..

i found the radio specifically for Rogers on ICS..

haven't tried... i got this stupid TOUCH SCREEN UPDATE garbage and it failed then disabled my touch... so i went back to my nandroid..

gonna try flashing smooth Ice with this radio and romracer kernel.. we'll see what happens

Just in case anyone is having any issues with Play Store, they've been having some problems.. So in case you're wondering, it's NOT necessarily because of ICS leaked roms. It's happening on stock to me.

I'm trying to figure out how to go back to a gingerbread rom - just too many little things annoying me..

Shutdown reboot issue.. youtube all of a sudden goes black when I choose full screen.

Signal issues, seems LTE will not stay "locked in" so to speak..

and the last straw.. the phones goes to sleep and then doesn't wake up.

I am kind of at a loss here, not quite sure how to proceed and go back to GB.

I used the nandroid backup version of the leak and installed it from stock 2.3.5 rogers

I also flashed the ICSradio.zip file.

Is it safe to assume I will need to find the GB rom of choice, and a copy of the stock radio and flash them from CWM? is that all there is to it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
My understanding is that you should just be able to flash the Stock rom That you made with CWM, when you rooted your phone.. Look in your CWM backups.

But as always, I defer to the experts.

look,

to all of you no disrespect your opinions or whatever you think. but im on rogers i727r model. as far as battery is concerned unless if you have i727 phone from states or "international" then i can understand your phone being proper on ya. for me ive got this phone from rogers and i flashed every rom to let it settle and do its course and if you want me to post my battery stats i will. im not gonna lie i love ice cream sandwich more then anyone (ask my friend appdroid) he knows im crazy for it. If the issues like this happen then i rather me on aokp from raver atleast i know its not gonna issue troubles or cm7 which has bugs but yet it won't heat your phone to make an omlet on it. again excuse my "sentences and english" i might have it little broken down here & there. all & all if faux can make a kernel then i suggest to all canadian users flash that onto this ics once he makes it. you'll see what im talking about. anyways since i like giving second chance im gonna flash ics again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JHK1984:
I do think some people are sugar coating, just are blinded by the fact that they've got the new hot OS which isn't even out for public release yet.

Sure I'd love to face unlock my phone and have better interface with all the great ICS features, but what good is it if it can't even receive phone calls or have buttons that don't work???

Believe me I will be the first one to download ICS when it's released by Rogers (God knows when), or flash it first when it's ACTUALLY STABLE.

I just don't want new comers being blinded and flashing it to brick the phone and waste valuable hours of young human beings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
None taken at all :) I'm on the I727R from Rogers as well, and I stand by my evaluations. It's not perfect by any means but I've listed/found fixes for most issues that affect me... and as I've mentioned and posted, the battery life seems about the same as it was for me on stock GB rom and kernel. Maybe it was better on faux's kernel but I never ran that on GB so I can't compare.

It is what it is, a leak pre-release, there's going to be issues. If you can deal with them then great, if not that's totally understandable as well!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JHK1984:
My argument on a peaceful note would be something like this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
Most of what I've seen have been reasonable and fair assessments of what works and what doesn't. Fact is, some people are getting better battery life than others - to be honest there are way to many factors involved. Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Facebook, syncing, kernel's, bloat, frozen apps, apps installed, etc - these will all affect battery in one way or another.

As for newcomers being blinded and flashing to brick - that's a bit extreme; ANYONE wanting to flash their phone needs to do their due diligence and then ascertain if flashing is for them. Some people have opted not to based on what they've read, others have opted to anyways and have had varying levels of success. As for as phones being bricked, I've only seen/read of a few soft bricks which of course are recoverable from. I think by far and large the biggest reason for bricked phones is user inattention and inability to follow directions.

That being said, I followed what I posted in this OP to the letter and then installed the ICS kernel after and my phone is just fine. Yes I have a mainly functioning ICS. Yes there are bugs (listed in OP). Yes I've found and installed workarounds for most of them (also listed in OP). Yes there are a few that still need fixes but for my case, this is a pretty stable pre-leak ICS that I am more than comfortable using on my Rogers I727R as a daily driver.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
Personally I would ODIN back to stock using a stock Rogers ROM. I've done that a few times to ensure I'm back at stock Rogers GB, I just use ODIN and the stock Rogers rom from sammobile.com (do a search for I727 and download that firmware). I can confirm that this method does not trip the "flash counter" that is on these devices. I can also confirm that some of the other so called "stock roms" for Rogers DO trip the "flash counter".

thanks i appreciate we all working together to understand each other. im gonna try smooth ice and see how that works because you can understand i was theming to aosp ics and almost achieved it and i have zips here with me. and pixelens im with you and to take your word im willing to try it again and try my variations and see if i can help our canadian community especially with this. i know its not the best atm but hey we always like to give second chance to everything..

Pre-release/leaks are never perfect but we have a great dev community here... heck, even official stock is rarely ever perfect ;)

Sometimes, people do let excitement get the better of them... Ask any teenager on their first date :p

I understand what you're saying, hell I haven't flashed a rom yet..

There is a pretty decent app on the market, Facelock for apps.. I've got it & it works well!

I do know that I won't wait for rogers, to release their twisted interpretation of what ICS should look like... So I'm just waiting for the geniuses here at XDA to have the chance to massage the ICS leak or Official release into the kick ass work of art, that they always manage to create. :)

Coming from a rogers i727, should i flash this before trying to flash the other ICS roms? or should i try going directly from stock GB to something like smooth or ICSMOD5 (instructions to go from GB are not clear :/ any help there?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
All I can say is I installed this one on Rogers coming from GB and it works for the most part with the fixes for the bugs listed in the op.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
Similar story for me, I went from SkyICS GB to this ROM, and from this ROM I have gone to MHX Superlite 4 with Apex launcher and Quickboot, which seems to fix most of the bugs for me. Home button works, scrolling background works, reboot works, SMS works, my only issue is it's not AOSP-ey enough for me... :) Looking hard at Smooth ICS...

I've been a bit anal when installing: SuperWipe x3, factory reset x3, wipe cache x3, wipe Dalvik x3, flash modem, flash rom, flash kernel, fix permissions, factory reset x3, wipe cache x3, wipe Dalvik x3, fix permissions, reboot. It seems excessive, but it also seems to work...

Hi All,

I upgraded to ICS Superlite 4.2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1573621), but the LTE hasn't worked since I upgraded. Followed instructions very closely and tried the process over again a couple of times.

Tried updating the APN settings as well.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pixelens:
I thought I saw a tread about LTE settings. To be honest, I've stayed on this one because it works. I've added a few of the ICS apk's and a theme from the T989 forum and it's all good. I don't have LTE though so can't help unfortunately. Will see if I can't dig up that LTE thread...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SGS2X:
I can confirm this works on my Rogers I727R perfectly :) I have not encountered ANY bugs as of yet and it works really smooth. Battery life isn't the greatest but I'm sure it'll settle-in in the next couple of days. (Maybe it's because I've had an hour of consecutive screen on since I've been playing on my phone non-stop after I flashed ICS :p)

I must admit tho, even though ICS is just awesome (using Apex launcher), it's not really worth the 6month+ wait (until official ICS drops) + hype that surrounded it :p I'm already looking forward to Jelly Bean ;)

I'm also looking forward to custom kernels with overclock or just custom kernels that speed things up because I can see noticeable slowness (not lag by any means, just slower in general) from opening apps to navigating through settings. It kinda feels like the phone is underclocked to about 1.2-1.3 ghz if you know what I mean :p

Oh yeah, I can't seem to get LTE at all even after putting the ltemobile.apn in. But other than that, this works fine on the Rogers SGS2 LTE :)

This is such an awesome Leak.. I'm very impressed. Everything is smooth and stable, even though it's touchwiz.

I can confirm that the mic issues during calls are fixed with this leak. I just called someone to test it and they said I sound much louder and I don't get cut-off anymore.

I still can't get the home/search keys to work though... :confused:

I will be reverting back to GB for the time being and wait a little longer for the bugs to get fixed. It was definitely worth the try though!
