Thankyou so much
is there a direct download link to ics then ? and thankyou for your very quick reply...Regards from brian
There are no stable ICS releases for SGS2. You can find two ICS roms, one leaked from Sammy and another is CM9.
Though alpha CM9 is pretty stable .. check out the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410400
Learn how to restore before flashing an unfinished Beta rom on my phone would be my first step .

Dude, it sounds like you need to do more reading...

LOTS more reading!
CM9 is good, but it sounds like it's high risk for you at the moment - it's not all plain sailing if and when you get there.
Why not wait a few weeks for a more stable version.
I would say your better off waiting mate, maybe flash vertumus's ics theme until a stable version is out.

A co-worker just got a t-mobile galaxy s 2 and wants me to possibly root it and install a ics rom. Can anybody get a me a general idea as to which was is stable with all features working? He does use 4g. Thanks
Do him a favour and don't flash anything from these forums on it.

No ****. Thanks. Moderator please delete....
All ICS ROMs are still in BETA stage so are likely to cause problems.Read all the ICS threads first before flashing as there is no officiall ICS release ROM to use to make a stable custom ROM.
Symbian.
In other words, stay away from current ICS builds.
Hello,
3 weeks ago,I got a GT-19100G galaxy s2.Pretty happy with it,everything is great except for TW of course So I need advice at whether I should get the official ICS update when its released in march(also thinking about giving the LB leak a try) which will use TW as far as I know or root my phone and flash the CM9 and get andy's costum ICS.Andy's ICS looks pretty nice but I don't wanna root my phone specially that I never rooted any device before(my previous device was nokia n81 8gb LOL).Or maybe I should just wait for the official release and get some sort of ICS themes or something.I'm currently running Android 2.3.6 baseband I9100GDZKK1 and Kernel 2.6.35.7.So what ya think ?
root..flash CM9..after ICS offiaclly released..flash back stock rom and get OTA..easy right??
Would be easy if I knew what the hell is OTA
Edit:Oh,I googled it.Its over the air.Well,why would I root it if I will flash back stock ROM again in 2 weeks ?
Personal view would be wait for ICS then wait for the modders to mod the official release .

I was thinking about that too...I think I'll just do that But just to be on the safe side,is it completely safe to root my phone and install CM9 ? Bcuz my phone is new and if anything happened to it,I'll kill myself.
FYI, the i9100G is not the i9100, therefore ICS leaks and CM9 will not work in your phone. If you do flash CM9 or one of the leaks your phone will be damaged. The i9100G is sort of crippled ROM developement wise from the start due to it's lack of Exynos in favour of some old TI-OMAP. Your only choice is to wait for Samsung to released ICS for your phone.

Lol,how is that possible ? O-o Does that mean I can't install any custom roms or its just the cm9 ?

IIRC, there is only one ROM available for your phone and that is SuperROM (Android 2.0.3). All other ROMs will brick your phone.
That's right. You can only install custom roms that are specifically written for the I9100G. And there aren't many of them. Someone on here said a couple of weeks ago that there are two (don't quote me on it tho).
If you flash a rom meant for any other SGS2 variant, as Xethor said, you run the risk of bricking your phone.

Damn...I had to get it since its the only S2 version available here.Why samsung ? Why would u make different versions of galaxy s2 ??!!! :/ Well I guess I'll just have to depend on launchers.I got Go launcher EX,launcher7 and ADWLauncher.If you by any chance know a nice ICS theme,can u give me the market link ?
At first I also didn't knew the difference between I9100 and I9100G. I bricked my phone by flashing one of the I9100 ROM. Then I figured it out, unbricked it again. And now i'm running SuperROM with ICS Domination v2.0 theme.
I9100G sucks big time, both in hardware and software.
Only four ROM's are available for 'G' variant:
SuperROM
Juffo ROM
Galaxyrom rc4
Darky ROM
Can't believe it took 6 replies for someone to point out to the OP that the G version is different to the International model. Lucky he didn't brick it. So glad the T version is the same except it requires its own modem.

Yo,
Probably a stupid question, but I'm just wondering how I go about transferring to ICS from Gingerbread?
I'm on VillainRom 2.3.5 KI3, with ninphetamine kernel. I've read a few places but just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing..so if anyone could help that would be great!
Cheers

Original firmware plug it in to Kies .
Otherwise just flash ICS as per the instructions .
jje
So do I just select my region/carrier here?
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100
and flash with Odin? Would I need to wipe or anything since I have villain on? Sorry been a long time since I flashed or done anything like this :s
there is no official ICS for the s2. samsung's only barfed out touchwizz, and believe me you don't want that to polute your poor phone. go to the android development forums here and you'll find a handful of leaks, many of them being quite stable. i tried westcrips and was happy, now im on paradoxxx'es and not much to complain either. you dont need odin, just throw the zip on your sdcard, backup and flash away in cwm. since you're coming from another rom you'd want to wipe data, cache & dalvik but better see the descriptions inside for step by step instructions.
Um...didn't samsung roll out official ics for some regions lol?

Of course they have who know what the last poster was rambling about as per his other posts .
Directing you to leaked buggy beta test firmware based roms .
I would wipe in answer to you question for any major firmware upgrade ..

Yeah, I might just wait till it gets released in Australia and flash it then

samsung released this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqqD8g6z_RM&feature=related
you call that ice cream sandwich? well, it's not.
and read what users on sammobile or around here write about it, it is buggy as hell. samsung even stopped the rollout for their note because, quote sammobile, "Samsung isn’t happy with the bugs on ICS for Galaxy S II." so of course i directed him to a port, what's wrong with it, he asked for ICS and the ports are closer to that than any of that touchwiz stuff. and its probably more stable, too.
Just follow the instructions in the op

the region is not important when the base code is released you van find the proper modem for your region .

try klin's klassic, i used that one before moving to cm7
how is cm7? I was hoping to use that but I read it wasn't very stable.
also, do you know if there's a workaround to send mms?

CM7 is far from ready for daily use and if you don't get proper backups you will have a hell of a time reverting back. Trust me I know, I'm still resolving some issues.
alright well im going to try out the KlassicRom, thanks for all the input!
lewa is pretty awesome and stable as well

lewa is based off CM7 so all the CM7 issues are still there, don't get me wrong it is nice but until deep sleep is fixed the battery life is still miserable (about a day max). Plus the newer CM7 (beta 2+) base is not for amateurs as it quite easy to screw yourself when trying to revert back.
hey OP what version of the player do you have (US or International)?
i have the US version.
Currently using Klassic's ROM and the Terrasilent kernal.
question
Hey guys im new to this so i have a question!
Ok so i want to get klin klassic rom (the latest one) on my galaxy player 4! do i just flash his rom, or is there a special kernal i have to download first!
any info is apreciated!

you can flash it using Odin on the computer it comes with Klin's old kernal but you should also flash the terrasilent kernal I have r5 with terrasilent kernal only problem is Bluetooth doesn't work on r5 I'm also on 4.0 I'm on us check roms to see if their compatible with your region

You can try the new AOKP build. Vibrantmtd is once supported again instructions for installing the rom are listed in the thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208126.
As far as GPS is concerned it is either a hit or miss...might work or it might not. Unfortunately I am not able to test it since my vibrant is bricked
But I can tell you that AOKP is an excellent rom I been using it for nearly a year now since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. It is far much better than ICS passion in every aspect. Never had any problems with it.
As for the kernel I can't really say which one I would recommend since I honestly can't ever recall flashing a kernel for my vibrant...I've always used the kernels that are included in the ROM(S).
Just remember to backup your apps...because you will lose them in the process since this is not an update...it is more of an upgrade(4.0.3 to 4.2.2).
Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions.

The ROM will update you straight to 4.2.2. I don't think you need to be on 4.1 to update or any other version for that matter. Just flash the ROM through recovery and you should be good to go. Good luck.
You can use my cyanaosp build which is reported to have good gos from many users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167819
