[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
Welcome to..

Android 4.0

ICE CREAM SANDWICH!!

Before you consider it though, READ this.

Read it closely.

The goal of this thread isn't to be dramatic at all. There was no big issue...this topic didn't really have to be posted.

But the idea is to purely be helpful. Not everybody who surfs these forums knows everything that's going on and its nice to have all the information in one place. I hope this information helps you determine whether or not the ICS leak is good for you.

There are common issues among all ICS-leak based ROMs. I hope this helps a lot of you since I've seen the same questions in a lot of ROM threads, over and over.

Mods if you can sticky, +1!

#0: A LITTLE BACKGROUND

================================================

When I say "ICS-leak based ROMs", I am saying that the current state of ICS roms on the T989 is that they are based on the ICS leak for our AT&T cousin, the Skyrocket. Thus there are still issues.

That being said...flash Skyrocket roms at your own risk.

Common issues in ALL leak-based roms:

(* Does not neccesarily apply to Raver's AOSP build, it is FUNDAMENTALLY different so read his topic and follow his posts *)

Call echo for about 50-75% of us. A temporary solution is to play around with your case(if you have one on your phone) OR turn off Noise Reduction while in a call

There is no Wi-Fi calling

Shutdown doesn't work for some people. THIS IS WHY YOU MUST SUPERWIPE!! (See #3)

Some video streaming problems

Some video recording problems (depends on ROM)

Some AT&T specific modifications that can give you problems. I.E. there is no 2G/4G toggle switch

Point is: THEY'RE NOT PERFECT YET

#1!

================================================

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING

If you don't know what ClockworkMod is and how to access the Recovery menu,

STOP here. Look around, read some tutorials, and immerse yourself in some basic Android knowledge.

This can mean the difference between frying a $250+ device and running a cool ROM on it. Do what you do wisely.

Keep your battery charged and make backups.

#2!

================================================

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP

This is the same as using the Backup and Restore menu in CWM. You have been warned. The devs aren't responsible for lost data.

#3!

================================================

BEFORE FLASHING ICS ROMS

Super super important:

Run this script via CWM:

THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE...and align the partitions properly for ICS

Run it again. Do it twice to be safe!

Then flash your ROM.

#4!

================================================

PATCH YOUR ACCELEROMETER

Without this, your phone will not AutoRotate, games and many media apps will give you headaches, and your CAMERA WILL BE BROKEN.

Most of the ROMs here should have this patch built in. If you're a dev and haven't added it in yet, please do so !! :)

WHEN LOOKING AT THE DEVELPMENT TOPIC

Use the topic search function before you post a question.

I'm not a topic police officer. I don't really care what people post in my own topics as long as its not bickering. But asking questions when they've already been asked does take up space and makes the topic harder to sift through so please be courteous to the devs ;) Do yourself and all of us a favor. Look through it first! This is a cycle...if people look through the topics before posting, their question will be most likely answered and then they will not need to post. The topic gets less cluttered and the next person who has a question has less pages to look through

And different OP's have different requests for their topics. Please be courteous.

THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION

I can stand with Raver in saying this. As a matter of fact, I plan on collaborating with him.

The point is:

XDA isn't about competition. It's about innovation. So please don't say X ROM is better than Y ROM, everyone has their own taste.

TO REPORT BUGS

Follow the instructions in the ROM dev's OP.

I'm actually going to make a Mantis bug tracker for our ICS ROMs. Devs and themers, let me know if you're interested via PM.

GOING BACK TO GINGERBREAD?

Although the ICS roms are fairly stable at this point, some of you may wish to go back to Gingerbread for whatever reason.

Before flashing back to GB: REPEAT STEP 3 ABOVE, DO THE SUPERWIPE!
