Im on CM9 and I would like to try sammy's ICS, Im from the Netherlands and I want the least buggy ICS firmware. Whats the diffrence between latest leak and offical ICS. I would like to hear some review's as well. I used to go for the latest firmware so is the latest ICS the best? (leak) According to its build date, 12/03. ?

Choose the KF3 ROM that's relevant to you.
So since there is no UHKF3, I can't upgrade?

There's nothing stopping you at all. It depends on what you want.
I'd personally love to stick with a generic EU ROM, but right now they only go as high as KE7. I'm on a custom VillanROM now which is KF2. If you want to get the latest, KF4 is out (but for Hong Kong)...
I haven't made any decisions yet. Waiting on CM7. While I'm waiting, there is a alpha MIUI ROM that looks complete enough to be fun, but not ready yet as a daily driver.

It cannot be upgraded to 2.3.5 and if it was upgraded to 2.3.5
it would actually be a downgrade...
The 2.3.5 firmware is full of all kinds of bugs because it's
an un-released leaked firmware.
It is NOT an official stock firmware for our i777 SGS2 phones.
Also developing any custom rom should start with a good foundation
like an officially released AT&T i777 SGS2 stock rom.
Trying to build a custom rom without a good solid foundation consisting
of some un-official leaked rom is only asking for a lot of bugs and problems.

You can update it - but then you'd no longer be unnamed, but "buggy leaked stock".
Unless you Hellraise a 2.3.5 ROM from the I9100 forums.
But really, what specifically do you want from 2.3.5? It's a minor update, it's not that big of a deal.

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 .

OTA = Over The Air
And do which you feel suits you do some more reading each to their own as they say.

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 .
