Galaxy Nexus ICS for GSII - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a version of ICS for GS that looks like the Nexus one? Ive had this phone for a day and i hate the TouchWiz UI. I even saw that the update will be ICS but look EXACTLY the same as it does now . Thanks.
This phone is sick!!

Thanks mate, ive just come over from Sony Ericcson X8 (the cheapest android on the market) and i was running an 'almost' fully working cm9 on it lol (very good devs)
So now im about to start the process of rooting and all that jazz...

Yep
but PLEASE, if you do, read the dev thread (1st post especially) and the discussion thread - find out what works and what doesnt - too many people dont bother to do this and keep asking the same questions over and over and over and over......
good luck!

Progress on CM9?

Anyone know if there is a place to check for cyanogenmod updates? I know no deadlines, but gingerbread is so rough on a tablet.

look at dalingrin's twitter for updates.
If you're wondering about ICS on the touchpad...look at dalingrin's twitter posts.
If you're looking for CM9, all i know is they've released a pre-alpha version of the launcher from CM9 for Devices with ICS....how far that puts them down the line to finishing it? I do not know but i'm waiting too (impatiently)
Here is the official source of CM news:
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
I would imagine any general news on CM9 will be all over once its out. I saw the news on the launcher in at least 3 different sites within hours of the announcement.

I like how that was worded, it is truly rough. Phone versions of android do work on tablets but its clearly wrong.

Agreed Leo and Scott are doing a great job at developing cm7/MIUI to work on a tablet as best it can.. But it is almost a lost cause since ics is already on a lot of devices....
I'm sure modifying a kanged ROM is a lot easier than making a port/SDK ROM as a lot of the drivers have to be made from scratch... I've given up on android on the TP till ICS. When that happens ill donate a handsome reward to the team that does it.. till then... WebOS will have to do... As I only use it for media/web I'm good for now... I have a EVO 3d for apps and such that android excels in...

Cm9

If cm9 is on the touch pad which uses the snapdragon just as we do, and we have a ics leak why can't we have cm9 yet? I know when I had my epic 4g touch like a day after the samsung ics leak dropped someone built a cm9 rom... Please don't flame. I'm mearely asking a question in the q & a thread... Thanks!

I'm guessing it's the lack of kernel source.
But they don't have kernel source for ics on the epic 4g touch either... They built a tweaked Gingerbread kernel to run cm9. And I couldn't tell a difference it ran a amazingly

I was thinking that it was the lack of kernel source, but I don't know based on the modified GB kernel post. CM9 would be awesome though. I like to keep things as stock and clean as possible. I don't even put aftermarket parts on my car LOL.

you know what devs we need here , the devs from the htc leo/hd2 that took a windows mobile phone and turned it into a development phone that could run any 5 OS like a champ, I had CM9 on my hd2 for 2 months before I got my Note and I ran AOSP ICS prior to that for a month and it's smooth as hell. We never had any kind of actual source for anything for it, actually devs were porting everything from the nexus one/nexus s/sensation/evo/incredible/desire hd and made it work , hacking all kinds of kernels , so yeah there were issues when a new port would come out like camera not working(most common issue) but never the less it always came around, now our biggest downfall is the fact that samsung decided to use two different processors with the two versions of the note, if they only would have used the same processor it would have definitely be a different ball game, it would be one forum and all the devs for the n7000 and the i717 would be working together and we would be using cm9 from the great dev imilka from the hd2 forum.
Agreed. I wish I knew how to dev. On the original evo we had great devs also... These devs just rather sit around and wait for the easy way I guess. Idk.

Don't be stupid, you know what he meant. Its a typo. Nobody is perfect including you.
To the OP, are you wanting to use a Gingerbread or ICS rom? If your interested in Gingerbread try SolarisPrime A New Hope. The rom is great!
ICS = HANDS DOWN UCLE2 BASE + FJ MOD by Flappjaxxx
But many others that have minor bugs... youll have to read up on each.
I rocked troposphere for quite a while... Kinda Like AOSP
I played with tablet mods on several other bases(which was cool and different) but I already have a tablet so didnt need another one lol
Im sure that you'll want to stay away from GB roms, because if you do go with GB you'll only find out at a later date that, when you flash ICS, you should have done it in the first place... Kind like having a choice to buy either a 1990 mustang or a 2012 mustang and choosing the 90's car. Then when it starts to smell old and feel slow, switching to the 2012... Money aside of course...
Welcome!
I am using the flappjaxxx rom mentioned above and I am over all pleased.
FJ pimped my pride

I'm so glad you love your NOTE
I even love this device also it replaces my laptop because I own ASUS G53SX damn this thing is so heavy to bring around
What I love about the note is 5.3 inch screen very high def qualify watching movies or TV on it at 1080P 60fps and very fun playing games on it as well when I'm out about too . Very light weight and it fit's in my jeans pocket just fine.
For 5.3 inch Phone + Tablet all in one device compared to Asus Prime which is 10 inch screen I prefer to have a device that's a phone and tablet so I don't have to bring 2 different devices around with me
The latest UCLE2 IMM76D 4.0.4 build is the most stable i've had so far. If you like the stock experience I'd say go with that ROM. Then ofcourse root it!
I'm on the stock official release that just came out. Nothing fancy for now.

He's probably talking about the new leak that was linked here in the general forums.
you guys are great! I have to agree ics is great had a collective rom on my skyrocket and loved it. so i guess ill have to do some reading on how to get to ics on the note. it was pretty easy on the rocket. I've rooted already and will Odin cwm tonight then hit the dev section and get to it.

[Q] Help in rooting and flashing custom rom

hi all,
I need to update my wife's phone from ICS to JB by rooting/installing recovery and flashing a nice custom rom.
I have searched the S2 forum (she has i9100) and there are loaddddds of threads but donnu which one to use, donnu which is outdated and which is best way or new way to do so.
I have an xperia Z and have rooted and unlocked so I have a good idea about this, but I failed to find the suitable best way.
I would also appreciate a recommendation on which custom rom to install 4.1 or 4.2 or 4.3? and which rom to use.
I know am asking too much but I need to do this so soon as my wife is nagging me for a new phone and saying her phone is slow and doing strange things.
help will be much appreciated
A common way to root is to flash a custom kernel with Odin, and after this flash a rom via CWM. All can be found in the guides.
About the rom choice: it's up to you. 4.1.2 is Samsung based, and perfectly stable. 4.2 maybe too, but it's AOSP based, and 4.3 seems to be in the bèta stage now.

Strange things?? Lol..
Maybe you should choose an AOSP based custom ROM. That would make her phone smooth and fast as well as bloat-free.

with your experience on XDA you should know, what is going to be an excellent ROM for somebody else, may not be for you. I don't know what kind of user you are.
not sure what your last phone was, but we have quite a bit of variety here.
here is my rundown and I am sure you know basics
ICS 4.0.4...........super stable by know beings update official updates have gone beyond
JB 4.1.2...........Touchwiz based pretty darn close to stock (debloated) and DAMN stable. only a couple out there but rock solid. some theming and mods out there for personal touches. not many updates needed
JB 4.2..............these would be AOSP, AOKP and CM based ROMS. lots of customizing. basically 3 ROM's in 1. with bells and whistles are some shortcomings. random reboots being the biggest flaw. many have success using alternate KERNALS built in conjunction with certain ROM's, giving options for OCing and UVing. different tweaks here and there can better chances for success. lots of updates on these.
JB 4.3..............still early in the game. smooth but working out a lot of kinks right now. its coming along
just an honest everyday user here giving an honest opinion m my experience here. folks are great funny and very helpful and a LOT of talent in development here.
good luck my friend. I am sure others will be along to correct me on SOMETHNG
