heres the skinny:
if you dont have time to read, comprehend, and understand what you are doing to your phone, you dont need to do anything to it.
if you want to get pissy because you didnt understand the difference between a firmware version and a rom, then fine. this website is not here to 'make your phone cool'

I'm hoping that the dev for UnNamed will incorporate a newer 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 base for their roms soon for further development. Maybe they're waiting for ICS like most other Devs?

The ROM Dev has to recreate the ROM on that base. Currently UnNamed is based off 2.3.4 and the dev will have to redo all his mods he incorporated in the 2.3.4 base into the new 2.3.6 base or other..... which he decides if at all. So basically you are at the mercy of the rom dev.
Don't worry about pirateghost..... he's been here a while and has too many questions like these.

gtg's policy is just like mine - Unless there is a MAJOR reason to rebase on a leak, we don't do it. Leaks are a major hassle for ROM developers (and kernel devs) unless the leak offers a major feature. UXKG3 (Rogers Gingerbread) for the Infuse was such a ****ty release it actually did make sense to pull stuff from the AT&T leaks, however, completely rebasing onto them caused tons of problems for gtg (broken GPS, broken modems, wonky data, etc.) when he tried to pull in too much. In the end all he did was pull the camera libs (the only significant improvement).
So you'll see UnNamed move to 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 when an official AT&T update comes out based on it, or a MAJOR feature shows up (and even then, it's more likely to just get backported like the camera libs on Infuse.)

Hello, noob here! My OTA update failed so I installed UnNamed v2.1.1 (Based on UCKK6, Android 2.3.6). Everything works fine, but I notice that scroll-bounce effect (the bouncing at the end of scrolling) is replaced by a glow. Anyone knows if this also happens to the official UCKK6 update? I would love to have the scroll-bounce back without going back to stock Android 2.3.4

That sounds good. Thanks.
There are a fair few good deals on the S2 now that the Nexus is out with Android ICS, but how good is the ICS port over to the S2? Any bugs or flaws?
I am contemplating getting this phone for my girlfriend who isn't very tech savvy hence ICS would need to work flawlessly on the device .
Ics is not ready yet for this device there only at the alpha stage try again in 4months for a stable one or use the ics theme from the market

Samsung has said "official" ICS firmware for SGS2 will be released "some time in Q1 2012". So far as other roms go, you should start seeing ICS ports over the next few weeks.
So far as functionality goes, I'd be surprised if these don't go thru the normal "teething problems" roms & kernels tend to go thru, and given your girlfriend isn't "tech savvy" and the device would need to work "flawlessly", I'd recommend you wait until Samsung releases official firmware rather than use a custom ICS port.
Unless you want to spend a lot of time playing tech support ?

If it's a phone for your non-tech girl I would not worry about Gingerbread or ICS, I would worry about Touchwiz, Sense or whatever skin is out there and select your phone accordingly.
Getting into buggy beta ICS or non compatible apps or widgets that act weird is the killer, it just has to work and look nice. Gingerbread is good for that.

Samsung is working on it, thus there have been a couple leaks. They are still marketing the galaxy s2 so the benefit to a quick update being available would be that they can continue to sell their flagship phone.

i am resurecting this thread as i literally just ordered the S2 for my wife(i have the S3 for me), so im wondering if the phones are actually coming now with the ICS already preinstalled, or will i have to connect it to kies to do it once we get it for the first time?

No one will be able to answer this with any certainty, as it depends on what lot the phone was manufactured in and gotten ready for sale. If it came to the retailer with GB preinstalled, it will get sold with GB installed. If it came with ICS preinstalled, it will get sold with ICS installed.
It's not like retailers open up boxes they already have and upgrade the handset to ICS.
Are there any phones being sold at the moment with anything less than ics?

does the note not have exact same guts as the skyrocket?
if so can we not use the same cwm - t-mobiles version from rom manager?
just curious, we da g can start making cwm flashables.
If it was that easy I am sure it would of been done already.
it does sound easy right, why do you think it will NOT work.....if u dont mind me asking??

It will not work as the bootloader is different. Someone has already tried and bricked if you look a few pages back in the forum.

It is my understanding CWM compiled for Gingerbread may not be usable with ICS.
Official ICS update is probably 2 weeks away according to rumors, and CM9 is probably about the same time - it'd suck if all this work Da_G is putting into compiling CWM for GB 2.3.6 would be obsolete in 2 weeks.

Did you even read the article you quoted? First of all, the whole article is talking about he Galaxy S II and not the Galaxy Note. Secondly, this is all related to the international version. I've never seen him provide any insight as to what happens with the updates for the US version of these phones.
Yes, to both of you - I do realize it's for SGS2, not Note and it's for INTL version.
I didnt want to spam like 10 links, hoping people would do their due diligence - there are a bunch of other sources, including official quotes from samsung, which say ICS for Note will be released around the same time as SGS2.
I also don't think US LTE versions are that far behind - Samsung will have the firmware ready for carrier testing around the same time for both HSPA+ and LTE versions and it's only a matter of how long will AT&T take to test and cripple the firmware, by adding loads of bloatware, disabling NFC, etc'. I expect official Samsung LTE firmware to leak after it's available for carriers, not for end users.
except for the tiny fact that the international note is 6 months old
I have yet to see a single reliable news post confirming or even suggesting a time frame for the US versions of the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Note to receive the ICS update. Please link just one such source.

The theme looks absolutely brilliant. I just ordered my Note tonight and the warehouse is relatively close to my home (guessing it will come around Friday or Saturday) and I'd absolutely love to put this theme on my phone.
I'm guessing there will be compatibility issues because of the different internals but I wasn't sure, so I asked here. Thanks for all help.

Well that's a shame. I read somewhere here on the forums that though Exynos is better in stock form, our S4 will be better when the development comes in full swing because Snapdragon is better for overclocking. I'll look to the positive on this then
Besides that, completely off the original topic, do you (or anyone else) think this link below of the ICS update applies to us i717 Noters as well?
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490986
Well, no one can be 100% positive when it comes to ATT and upgrades but the general consensus is that ICS is coming to the un branded international Note in March and Our i717 Note will get it whenever ATT gets through with it. Whenever that is??? Most people are hoping by the end of the year.
On a brighter Note, if you read the Development threads, it appears they're working on an AOKP version of ICS for our phone. So expect that ROM or one like it to come out sooner than the official update to ICS. So if you don't already know, start learning what you can about flashing ROM's.
Here's the thread about the AOKP ROM rumors:

End of the year? That's a shame. I'm semi-new to the Android experience. I got my Nook Color in December so I can flash and do the basics, but that's it. Asides from that, I really hope that "March to May" estimate on the International Note was close.

It is quite a beautiful theme. I'll try it out when I get my Note.
My phone is an HTC Desire Z, but my sister has an SII. Long story short, she heard about Android 4 and it's cool features, and wants to try them out. Her phone is rooted, and I flashed a couple ICS ROMs, but have noticed that they are a mishmash of AOSP and Samsung stuff.
For my phone, we've got a few pure ICS builds, and a few ICS + Sense 4/3.6 builds. The differentiation is quite plain to see. Coming to the SII threads, I don't really know if I'm on the right forum, since there are like three different Android Development threads.
Can someone help me? I just want pure AOSP. Like CM9. No TouchWiz stuff.

Install CM9 then. Can't get any more like CM9 than CM9.
There is me trying to find ICS actually with TW.
G development is separate as its a different hardware .
Original Development is as it says .
Android Development is basically cut and paste and not original .

CM9? For what I know that's not ready yet... is it?
I mean, in the Desire Z development section, we're still in Beta stage. Camera stuff isn't really okay yet.
Can't speak for CM9, but I can speak for D4 rom (which is based off the latest CM9 nightlies anyway). Everything is working (except HDMI out, I believe). Battery life is acceptable, and no random crashes or anything like that.
