[Q] What are your favorite ICS features? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Some of the things I like most about the ICS leaked builds:
The fact that the ICS browser allows a real full screen view, hiding the status bar. This is in Settings>Lab now, but I hope they don't remove it!
The data usage measuring option.
The new task manager.
The idea of syncing bookmarks with Chrome, which I've not used yet.

I love all the new threads it brings, making these forums easy to trawl.

Definitely swype to dismiss notifications.
Browser labs feature.
Camera is faster
Launcher
Google apps. Layout is far more functional.

For me the best of ICS is frankly reading all the posts from idiots who have flashed a test rom and cry when stuff dont work .Often noobs who cannot bother to read anything and then cry help .

I assume it's the browser from the Bugless Beast rom (multitouch/pinch to zoom?). Not sure why the description has to be a secret though...
This is one of the things that tends to annoy me about these forums, and why until now I've only used this (admittedly fantastic) resource for downloads. Why do people have to be so resistant to honest, legitimate questions?
For this example: I'm someone who came from the original Droid, so I too am assuming "Pete"+"Bugless" means this is a browser kanged (which can mean taken with or more notably without permission) from the Bugless Beast rom. But I too can't understand why, if that's the case, you couldn't just say that when someone asked.
So I ask: is there an advantage to the latest Bugless' browser over the stock Fascinate browser, since we have a non-gray-bar, non-Bing, and multitouch capable fixed Mesmerize browser .apk available? Or, to play the pessimist, was this taken without permission, or something that isn't supposed to be shared, and is that why we shouldn't "worry about what it is?"
I suppose we can only guess, since we're apparently not worthy to know :\
I pushed the APK to my fascinate to see what's different about this...
From what I can tell, its just a merge of the Mesmerize/fascinate Browser files...
-Grey bar, vzw default homepage, vzw/bing url bar redirects...
Was it intended to be more like this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831519
I'm noticing a (relatively) MUCH larger file size...
So there maybe more to it I do not know.
The usefulness of this browser is limited. I switched to it from yours, Flipsoul, because of the issue it addresses.
In certain cases (on stock theme), the address bar comes in dark grey, where you can barely see the URL.

This browsers good if the grey bar really bothers you with the clean browser in DJ05. Bing is a bummer, but there will be a solution soon I'm sure.

[Q] Stock ICS MMS.apk?

I've flashed around a bit with different roms and as much as I enjoy touchwiz, I love the stock mms app that comes in AOKP/ vanilla android ICS and was just wondering if anyone had made any type of universal port for touchwiz roms that work just as smoothly? Saw a couple on the play store but they were total rubbish and full of bugs. gonna stay on AOKP in the meantime. Just curious if anyone else shared the thought

That's the problem. Even if you get a compatible full asop mms, you have to keep the default samsung app. If you delete it, it will cause problems and FCs.

Thank you phalanx, I hadn't realized serendipity incorporated aosp apps into touchwiz. That does further spark my curiosity as to if It's possible to pull the AOSP mms app as a stand alone apk that I could keep and install no matter what ROM I switch to since serendipity makes it seem possible if I just disable the stock mms app.

Simple way would be to change your pngs in your drawable-hdpi folder and change some xmls as well, not really all that difficult once you get started
Edit: sorry, completely forgot that Samsung's has text bubbles, so it would get a little trickier, I'll look into it
Edit: So, I've been real busy with school and stuff, so I haven't been able to look at the apk. Also, I don't have a Samsung Mms.apk since I like the AOSP feel of ICS better and have been on AOKP since it came out. So in trying to find a Samsung Mms.apk in our dev threads, I found that Serendipity 9 has an AOSP Mms.apk in it and is TW-based. It also has a lot of other AOSP apks in it, and it looks nice and runs pretty well. (flashed it to see everything first-hand). That might be an answer

ICS GalaxyS2 looks different than previews - why?

Hi, I just upgraded to ICS and I noticed that many of the new changes in ICS are not available or look different on GalaxyS2. Is this because of Touchwiz?
I also tried swiping along to get to the "widget" area, to no avail.
Also, I tried pinning a calender widget to one of my home screens, but it doesn't have the updated Google widget. It just has the Agenda widget. It has the "contacts" widget that looks like the updated ICS google version, but no cal.
What's up with this?
I'm new to Android so my apologies if these are no brainer questions.
Thanks!
Are you sure it actually updated? Go into Settings/About Phone and under "Android Version" what does it say? If it doesn't say 4.x.x then it didn't actually do the upgrade. Otherwise...IDK. lol

Lol...well i could say Google touchwiz, but not sure you would. The reason its different is because Samsung puts their own launcher on their phone that customized the look and feel of the phone and creates their vision of what your phone should look like. In short most around here agrees it sucks. If you want a more traditional look either download a new launcher like nova or start learning how to instal custom rooms.
Everyone get ready for a flood of these kinds of threads. Now we get to play clean up as the masses that for some ungodly reason updated via kies instead of downloading a cwm zip. Or waiting. Or not upgrading at all. I wouldn't care except now there's gonna be 50 bajillon new threads. Sigh.

Getting JB Style, Keeping TW Features - Hyperdrive & Nova

I'm assuming I'm not alone here, as I have seen many people across the forums saying that they have either already gone to, or are thinking of flashing an AOSP ROM, and are worried about losing all of those Samsung Goodies (Like hover, air gestures, eye control, TW Camera, etc.) They generally also seem to want the customizability of a custom rom, as well. So, let's discuss how people have gone about getting that JB feel on a TW ROM.
The way I currently have this set up is with the Hyperdrive 5.7 ROM as a base. With just that, you get a smoother, faster, and enormously feature-packed TW ROM. The customization you can accomplish with this ROM is very impressive, especially considering it is TouchWiz. On top of this, I'm running - yep, you guessed it - Nova Launcher.
Nova Launcher is, in my opinion, the obvious choice for getting stock JB feel on any device. Nova allows the important customizations made to Hyperdrive to continue working, while adding the JB feel right on top. I've also run the script from within Hyperdrive to enable the Nexus 4 Softkeys, and I've shut off the lights on the capacitive keys on the device itself. This makes them completely invisible, so the device looks much more like a Nexus device, if you like that sort of thing.
What do you guys think? What other options are out there? I'm looking to give some insight to users who may want to get this type of feel on their S4, while also getting some feedback or better/different ways of achieving this. Good luck, and happy theming!
looks good just get rid of the nav bar

Yeah. So the dialer and incoming calls are both part of the TW base. Nova launcher is just that; a home/launcher replacement. Just as you said. Though I am sure there are theming options for these things through third party methods, since many people dislike TW appearances.
I am just trying to get more of an AOSP look/feel, doesn't need to be completely coated in JB.

I fully understood the point of the thread which is why I suggested Eclipse ROM. It's Touchwiz based and includes all the Touchwiz gimmicks as well as the TW camera. It's most certainly NOT an AOSP ROM as you seem to think it is. It's just a very well themed Touchwiz ROM.

Help finding suitable Rom

I'm looking for a Rom that has a stock android look and feel, like the stock status bar and stock look for settings, while still maintaining a great camera and gallery app, preferably the touchwiz ones.

When you say Stock Android look and feel do you mean AOSP?
Hyperdrive has a lot of options for pretty much every apsect of the rom
Eclipse S4 TW Edition is basically a TW rom with the look and feel of AOSP. Those are the two best in my opinion. If you're really trying to get down to nearly pure AOSP programs and stuff you can check out Andybone's Barebones Rom too. It just depends on how AOSP like you wanna go.

My ROM doesn't have anything AOSP
An AOSP theme is coming thanks to nito for giving me the permission to use his work.
Tried your Rom, was great but I didn't like how the Rom settings say there is an aosp lock screen but nothing happens when I toggle it. Also you need to add a default music player, be it Samsung's or play music. Also hated how it doesn't restore all apps, had to manually do that.

If you are talking about my ROM..

Not ROM related.
also there is NOTHING wrong with the AOSP lock screen,
and Samsung Music is found in Aroma, choose hub..
I suggest doing a FULL CLEAN install, and NOT installing anything outside my thread.
I can only assume you flashed an android.policy.jar and that broke the AOSP lock screen. User Error.
Also I don't include ANY app you can download from the play store.. why would I?
waste of space.
Everything you hate about my ROM can all be solved by fixing your user errors, and a little research.

Thread closed...
These type posts are not allowed as they turn into arguments over which rom is best, and best rom threads get summarily closed as users are expected to read, study and make their own determinations as to what they want on a rom.
XDA is not a support site, it is here for developers and for those interested in the plight.
