No, I haven't. But there is more then one way to install ICS, take a CustomROM
This isn't much different from the kang builds posted on the development area..I don't see how this is unique, p4, it's the 7500+ series. Then again, there isn't any official ICS update.

Just google for "dexter folio". First hit is dexters homepage. You will find a link to his current support forum there... He is not inactive, just moved somewhere else.
@Jon2555: I am not working on a 3.2 port. I don't know much about porting (this is basically the reason why i have not answered your pm yet, sorry). I prefer android versions that can be compiled from source.
I know that you don't work on 3.2 version but you have some skills and android 4.0 will open source and you'll can compile it. We're hoping

What about this update?
Something better?
I used Folio3x before, but too slow for everyday use.
Poor graphic performances.
Functioning quite well. Especially those who suffered from the button crazy.
Neutralize the buttons on the right side and only use the buttons HC.
Moved to proper forum.
are there any developers out there creating roms for this? It would nice to have a kernel at least, i know there is one out but its only for the european version. We need developers!!
I got the time for it but not the brain for it im best at testing roms
Doesn't seem that anyone's developing ROMs at the moment, although some are trying. I think first we need to get a recovery working such as Clockworkmod so we can flash the ROMs to the device.
I just got my player a few days ago, but I've been doing some research on how to port CWM to new devices and hopefully something will come to fruition. I'm not a programmer by any means, but I know linux pretty well so hopefully I'll be able to put something together.
Does someone know where there is documentation on how to install new ROMs using Linux? I don't have windows or Mac.
I'm trying to install 2.3.5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389809
I believe the instructions are in the android developers kit, so I'll go there next unless someone has a quick pointer.
Thanks,
Daniel
I think the only way currently is with the software samsung gives you, but I might be wrong. Mine came with 2.3.5 on it - I'm using linux mint but haven't had a need to figure it out.
Some people over in the Android Development thread are working on it from what I hear. CM9 here I come!

Can you show us the link from where you read it please?
This is a call out to all existing and future developers of Xperia MDPI Devices.
For about a month now there is an app called Update Me Smartphone, which basically gives OTA update functionality for our Custom Roms.
From 01/05/2012 the developer of this app has given it a very interesting feature. You can view all Roms compatible with the Update Me Smartphone application. Even though you get a list a bunch of irrelevant devices, I suppose if we all "help" him with our suggestions he can make an application that will be on par with the Rom Manager app for devices that are fully supported by CWM.
To make this as simple as possible....
User "A" wants to download a new Rom for his Xperia MDPI Device. He has already downloaded and flashed a custom kernel (whether this is a Stock Kernel, or a CM kernel), then proceeds to download the app, install it and browse any compatible Rom's with his device... From then on his device will stay updated, through the Update Me application providing OTA updates of the Rom he has installed. If he wished to download another rom (compatible with the kernel he has - there are 3 Different Kernels AFAIK: GB CM, ICS CM, GB-ICS Stock Sony Kernel) he will just proceed to download the latest version of the rom he has selected straight to his device. No need to download to your computer, then connect the device, then copy it, then flash it. If you have the compatible kernel already installed, then its easy as pie.
Please let me know of your thoughts on this...
Edit: Link to the application's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590170
Edit 2: Apart from Rom's we can also implement various mods, tweaks, fixes, etc for our devices. Even though that would be extremely hard, due to the fact that all these files need to be stored in a direct download location like Dropbox, its is a viable option.
OMG I love the idea, that would be awesome!!
It's very interesting, thanks a lot for the info I will try it!
Some modification: In GB we have 3 different kernel (Stock Based, CM Based, MIUI Based [not released yet]). In ICS we don't have Stock based to Xperia MDPI, because Sony don't released yet the stock for us. So we have CM9 based, AOSP based (it's work with CM9 ROMs btw), and ported Stock based.
Some another notice: I saw a lot of thread (not only in this forum), but sooo many people trying to make ROMs. It's not a problem, but some guy don't know some full minimum things... So who will help this guys to add this app to their ROMs?
Are you using a different Kernel for the Sony ICS rom port? I mean the Ramdisk is the same size and you're using the same zImage from a stock GB rom correct?
Well nobody is forced to do this. All we have to do is provide the app developer a link with the update_me_check.xml so that he will sort of add a link for that in the application.
By the way, i now got my goo.im account, and this have own OTA app. I will try it, and I will report.
But I know, this is not only OTA app... Hmm... I need to think in it
So the only developer checking the thread is Expeacer?

Hi, greatest comunity on Earth!
I think i'm pretty good a using google, still i found nothing clarifying this for me.
Does anyone know when Linux OS will be made compatible with our SGS2 to dualboot along with ICS ?
Is it being Developed somewhere and is there a tread?
not the ubuntu version And preferably siyah compatible.
Not so soon
Since Google found nothing, I guess we just have to wait for the official release.
Me, too, has found nothing related on Google...

Can any one help me please.
No, you need to ask the developers, but I highly doubt they will listen
All force-closes create a logcat entry. It would be nice if people would provide the extra information found therein more often...
Ok, reading the post provided, the op sais you need to extract some libs and push them to /system/lib. did you pushed them?

I've tried that and it didn't work. It needs more development or wait until we have a complete functional Kernel and update to the latest Android version available.

"wait until we have a complete functional kernel"....so we don't have a complete functional kernel for GB (2.3.6, like your thread states you have and are looking for help with)? i'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about and clearly haven't read anything. a 30 page thread and countless complaints about fc, no activity since October. go post something like this over in that thread or contact the dev directly. on top of that, the dev's account has been disabled, which pretty much means drop it and move on.
"latest Android version available" - officially for us 2.3.6 rev 145, unofficially 4.2.2 (stable)/4.3 (semi-stable), 4.4 in idk what early stage of dev (contact epinter for update, but not an eta)
I have no idea what i'm talking about? Excuse me ohh allmighty lord who knows everything. I have a question for you. What is the minimum android version required to run BBM? 4.0 right? Do we have that officially? No, so we have to flash custom roms. Maybe he didnt because he wants everything working at 100% and sticks with GB. The dev of BBM for 2.3.6 isnt developing the app anymore so we need yo wait until that app gets to work on GB or wait for a complete and functional kernel for the devs bring to us a fully functional Android ROM based on 4.3-4.4. LEARN to read before treat someone like a stupid 5years old kid.
