I've noticed with all ICS roms i''ve used for the SGS2, the touch doesnt seem as good/responsice.
when using both Trebuchet and Nova launcher it seems instead of a quick flick to the left or right (like in any other launcher or rom) you need to slide a bit further accross the screen to get it to go or else it moves a bit then goes back to the screen you were on.
anyone else noticed this?
Yes something to do with them being a leaked beta test rom base .

Thanks for the reply. I've only had the phone about a week and came from an Xperia Play.
I had a few ICS leaks on the Play and the touch was exactly the same which is why i was wondering if it was the way the launchers have been set up.
Anyone have a Galaxy Nexus and know if this issue is there or not?
Since it has the official ICS on it, it would be a good indication
Check youtube for the nexus videos but being a finished product its a lot better and smoother than any leaked ROM floating around.GB ROMs are also quicker than the ICS leaks.
I'm running XXLPH on my S2 and it's the same for me. Can be annoying when trying to flick through application or down large web pages. Hopefully the final release will be better
If you took a car off the production line at the halfway point, would you expect it to drive properly? Of course not! Same thing with roms.

has anyone running an ics rom on the SGS2 having issues with posting on facebook and uploading pictures.
i am using go launcher on ics...its smooth, no issues
I had the same issues on some earlier CM9 builds, but using the builds dated from the 29th and beyond, I haven't had the issue anymore it would seem.

Hi everyone,
It's been quite a long time since I've been on the galaxy tab 10.1 forum, since I gave my tab to my dad on January, and now I'm getting it back. So I'm kind of outdated about ICS roms. I've seen that there are two new ROM, the AOKP and CM9. I did a little research to see the difference between both, but didn't find major ones.
So I'm here to see your opinion, and feedback about each of the two ROMs. And does the camera work on AOKP or not yet?
Thank you

CM9 has not yet been released; you're talking about the nightly kang builds. If you want to know the differences between the kang CM9 builds and the Roman's Kang builds (AOKP), install one, try it, then install the other. Hint: the AOKP ROM has some controls that are not built in to the CM9 Kangs.
And for gods sake: the camera will not work on any of the ICS ROMs until Samsung releases their ICS with the drivers. Please stop asking this.
I am going to install and try both but it would nice to know the feedback of other users. I don't get it why you get pissed off when asking about the camera, as if i insulted you or blamed u for not having the camera working. I will keep asking if the camera works although i never use it, and if you have a problem with that, ctrl+w or alt+f4, X in the top right, alt+left arrow, damn there's lots of alternative to leave this page.
So does the camera work? Does the camera work? Does the camera work?

The reason he got pissed is because that question is asked over and over again. A simple search of these forums would have answered that question about the camera.
I just installed the AOKP ROM on my GT wifi last night, so far it is pretty good but I have not had it on there that long. I love having the chrome browser (or the ICS version of chrome) so I now have my bookmarks from my desktop.
Some of the popup windows when you install items are not that nice looking or smooth. Not all of my apps are showing up in the market and thats the other thing, my market is still market and not Play. I flashed the gapps 4.0.4 that was linked in the CM9 ICS wifi thread so not sure why it is still showing the old market.
I am getting used to ICS, many things seem very nice and smooth and some things not so nice looking and smooth.
I just recently took the dive and tried the AOKP first, was nice but browsers kept crashing, last night, installed the CM9 kangs and I'm liking it so far.
Will keep you updated.
I started with the AOKP ROM since I really liked its speed and features on my Galaxy Nexus. However, I noticed quickly that it wasn't too much snappier than stock. So yesterday I switched to CM9 and I have noticed that CM9 it's noticeably snappier all around.
I'll be sticking with this.
Thanks all for you replies, I appreciate that a lot.

Well I think it's obvious that my main thread is not about the camera, I'm basically asking about the two ROMs. You people just love to make a big deals about everything. Maybe because talk is cheap, you can say whatever you want.

you asked and he answered.
In my experience the AOKP rom is a lot less stable than cm9, but much more configurable. I had this problem with aokp where the system UI would force close nonstop, which was unbelievably annoying, so I switched to cm9 and havent looked back.
That's odd. In my experience, CM9 was sluggish and FC'ing all the time - I'm on AOKP 32 now and haven't had a single FC I see everybody talking about... And it's much more snappier then stock rom!
I've a korean version though, so I'm not sure if that makes it any different. Only issue I have is a "rolling" screen when I boot up the system + first lock screen. Turn the screen off and back on, not a single problem. (but thats a issue with the korean tab I read)

i just installed AOKP build 33, it's really nice but as said before, the System UI FC is really annoying, and the nav bar keeps on autohiding. however, when I disabled the nav bar glow, the system UI doesn't FC anymore. I'll test AOKP for a while, and then I'll try CM9. I have finals on monday, so I won't be able to switch a lot between roms.
thanks all for your help
just got another SysUI FC, seems that nav bar glow didn't solve the problem.
I have AOKP Build 34 installed and it is snappy and fast. I'll be checking out the CM9 nightly this weekend, so I'll let you know.
Rob
I've tried both AOKP ICS and CM9 ICS on my samsung galaxy tab 10.1. For me, the CM9 feels smoother, but the AOKP gives more ROM control features. For now, I'd like a smooth tablet..
cm9 or aokp
I have the cm9 in my 10.1 wifi now and I like it but when you multi task the launcher crashes frequently, although it does restart quickly.
The screen flickers often as many people have mentioned as well
Other than that its pretty good
The best part is the loss of touchwiz UI. The feel of touch operations is so much more responsive and smooth
Pershoot ICS builds
I have been using Pershoots latest builds on my tab, and things are fine but for the occasional flicker.
AOKP definately has more option for ROM control, and UI customization too. It allows for 5 icons instead of the standard three, and allows for setting custom options for long press of these icons. .
I reverted to CM9 though because even P5 AOKP is quite buggy. Some times you can't place the icons from the app drawer on a screen ( the screen just rotates twice), touch sensitivity seemed to be lesser.
The touch sensitivity on the pershoots build is quite good. I am able to comfortably play Temple Run, which used to be a disaster before.

I'm actually proof the ICS Phone Bricker 2.0.1 on may Samsung Galaxy SGH I777 and this is what i found on it:
1.-When i use the Talk app and somebody write to me it make a weird sound again....and again....and again......
2.- I must make around 15 wipes and go back to the factory kernel and root again my cellphone and over 3 hours or more left i make my phone works with my service provider because in ever install of this rom not works.
3.- Going crazy trying to recognize SD card on my PC.
4.- Lag buttons
5.- apk's like Android Overclock, or Chainfire 3D Pro Crashes if u reboot your phone.
6.- Takes a lot of time to sync with my Wireless Access Point.
7.- Some native functions on Setting not works.
Please comment your experiences about this ROMs.
Was on the rooted leaked ROM posted by task but I just restored back to UnNamed 2.2.1 after a couple of days. It bugged me that I was not able to view battery stats and contacts tab was missing in the dialer. I hated the wifi bug of it not being able to reconnect automatically.
I really liked that the stock messaging app did not show mms as slide show and I loved the pattern lockscreen (clock, brighter wallpaper and smaller dots). Never did get the weather to show on there though.
For me UnNamed works better. Might try out SHOstock this weekend if I am not too busy.

I tried Mystic's rom and was not satisfied with ICS, i've been on unnammed 2.2.1 for awhile and with launcher pro it flys. I used Apex launcher but it still seemed that the rom lagged switching screens. I use email a lot for work and hated that the background was black instead of white like GB. Overall, the rom was well done by Mystic no real bugs I could see but I think I am going to wait for our source to drop and hope who ever did UnNamed makes an ICS rom. I can deal with the battery issues of KK6, I gotta have my speed.

We have the i9100 source already and the only real benefit from i777 leaks could be NFC if it were included. Ultimatum is a good ICS ROM which will be rebased soon. Phone Bricker is also good I don't know what the OP is doing wrong. Most of it is just waiting for better i9100 firmware to be released along with allowing time for our current kernels to mature a bit.

I've tried several ICS ROMs and they've all had some sort of bugs floating around in them. I'm currently using ShishirROM ICS and it's been the smoothest so far.
I think a lot of the problems are with the latest UCLC2 Modem. I was having major heating issues and reverted back to KH7. Now all is well.

Did you try different modems?
Nobody else is having this issue as of yet.
3.- Going crazy trying to recognize SD card on my PC.
ICS changed how USB storage works, hope you know that.
4.- Lag buttons
Seriously? These are early stages and every build and kernel update makes things better.
5.- apk's like Android Overclock, or Chainfire 3D Pro Crashes if u reboot your phone.
Overclocking/volt changing does not work properly, its in development by the kernel devs (PLEASE DON'T BOTHER THEM)
6.- Takes a lot of time to sync with my Wireless Access Point.
Haven't heard of this problem before.
7.- Some native functions on Setting not works.
I removed a good amount of bloat, but only things that don't work is the "track me" settings as I don't care for it.
If you want it I could have sent you the apks but nobody has requested for it in my thread.

Oh good Lord. Not only do we have like 2 dedicated ICS threads, this thread serves ABSOLUTELY no purpose. Im not going to allow threads to be started to bash Dev's hard work (THAT STILL IN PROGRESS I might add) and to just whine. If you dont like ICS, then downgrade back to GB. No need to start a thread about it.

Hey there,
a few days ago i got my new Sgs2.
I've installed a few different ics roms (slim ics, resurrection, hydrogen) and have mentioned a really strange scrolling behavior (. It's strange to explain, therefore i have made a video of it - i hope one can see what i mean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdTmBGF-2as
It feels like when i try to scroll (anywhere) fast the screen does not calculate the touches correctly.
This definetly is not a hardware error since i have also tested a GB (hyperdroid) Rom and there were no issues - the scrolling worked flawless - everywhere.
Does anyone know this problem?
I already have tried to play around with some touch settings in xxTweaks but this didnt help aswell.
Regards
Tak3r07
Some people will tell you the scrolling is normal in ICS and some people will tell you it's even better than GB. I disagree with both of them. The scrolling in the S2 ICS is much, much worse than the scrolling in GB.
The problem that you are experiencing is supposedly "normal". They say that's how it supposed to be like. The scrolling in ICS just isn't on par with GB. That's all.
I'd recommend you going back to GB and wait a couple of months before you move onto ICS again and maybe it will be fixed and maybe it won't...Fingers crossed!!
Have a good day and good luck with choosing which rom to flash!
I was using ICS on my HTC HD2 before aswell and the scrolling experience on it was another (really good).
And I also have compared my scrolling exp. with some of sgs2 ics roms on youtube and there it also works flawless.
If you look at the video i've made you can see the strange behavior. it stops sometimes instantly even if i have scrolled just as before. it does not lag but it reacts crazy. i dont think that this is what you are talking about.
Hi,
After moto decided not to provide upgrade for photon i dumped the device. Anyways I decided to use it again now after few months and wondering if anyone has made a good but specifically stock and STABLE JB rom for it. Please suggest if any new rom has been made for it that is really good enough to use.
Thanks.
What I run
For a stable version I would assume that your aware of current issues with ALL JB roms at this time. video camera and screen transition to name a few. That aside, I currently run CM10 build 10-20121127 from Th3Bill. Everything has worked for me using this build and its the one that I've found I come back to when others aren't up to par.

Hi,
By screen transition you mean the screen flicking when swiping etc. ?
Weird thing is that when I was using photon 4g those bugs were still there and they are still here.
It means no progress has been made in this regard at all.
Thanks.

That's exactly what I mean and that is weird that it was happening to you on the stock rom however there can be no progress made towards this because we are limited by Motorola's ability to update the drivers. So the screen transition bugs, as of right now, are something that we just have to live with.
Hey all,
I've tried to trawl all I can, but im coming up short, so please bear with me.
Just got a XTZ last week, a SGP 321 (16GB LTE) with 10.1.1.A.1.307 pre loaded.
What is the lastest FW/ROM that is available for this unit? and what are the practical benefits?
What are the best custom roms from your experience??
I've got a Xperia Z and a HTC one, both running custom ROMs (both stock based), so im familiar with the general benefits, but just want to know what has been developed for far for the XTZ?

I've tried 2 custom roms so far, Free Xperia CM10.1 and P.A.C. ...and I've gone back to Sony stock each time
The most obvious issue many complain about is the over-sensitive touch screen. Sony have fixed this in their latest roms (you have the latest for yours) but it's still an issue in custom roms. Causes things like zooming on web pages when you are just trying to scroll, and can drive you mad when trying to place the cursor when editing text. Those with WiFi only tablets (311/312) will also lose GPS.
I also found my tablet became very laggy after a while with the PAC ROM. Shame, I love having Pie - the permanent status/nav bar on stock is one thing that annoys me.
Altogether, I'd stick with stock for now untill Sony release an official 4.2.2 Rom and the devs can then incorporate the fixes from it for the above problems.

Most (if not all) custom ROMs here are based on the latest version of Android (currently 4.2.2) - that's one of the main attractions of using them.
Currently the stock Sony ROMs are based on 4.1.1. However, Sony are very close to releasing their own 4.2.2 ROM for the Tablet Z...but android 4.3 is already "out there"...so it goes on.
You'll always be a few steps behind with a Stock ROM, but for me the Stock ROM is good enough - apart from the permanent Navigation Bar (I prefer Pie).
By the way, if you look at recent posts in the CM10.1 Free Xperia thread looks like someone may have come up with a fix for the over-sensitive touch screen...I may be tempted to try a custom ROM again if the fix works

I have flashed 10.3.1.A.0.244 on mine and I get random touches on the screen, if you tick show touches in dev options you might see them if yours does this too. It's really bloody annoying when you're in the middle of playing a game or browsing and the tab decides to open the task switcher or press the back button!

Seems to work well, extremely fast. There are some problems mainly with the onscreen keyboard and chrome but this is not really an issue.
I have also tried PAC which in my mind has way too many options and functions that collide with each other. Some of the options you choose from different roms actually overwrite each other which causes problems. You can find the rom from here:

This one works well. It is stable and quite fast. Didn´t have any problems with it. Used for a long time and changed to another rom simply because...well I got bored. For day to day use this is the one to have.
