Hi ,.
I'm experiencing some lag when opening the Contact or the Phone app on my SGSII.
this happens only the 1st time I open these apps, ...and only after upgrading to ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ
made wipe Data and Cash. still having same issue.
Any help please ?
Which rom are you using!
Also this is a problem in many ICS roms, Its a problem in the build itself!
So you are not alone!

Official ICS 4.0.3 for SGSII
IML74K.XXLPQ
Yup that build is not a stable release eve from Samsung. They did not even care to make it lag free. I dont think there is anything you can do about this. The release is messed up. Try using some other custom roms!

did you wipe cash after installation ?
I only found contact lag with mine
I can recommend hydrogen-ics.
Have tested many kernels on this rom and they are all very smooth.

Not just stability. Having used ics for about a week now. Id love it if the rom had some ics icing on it
Think cm9 and ressurrection remix. Just cant decide between the two

I was just wondering what you guys thought about ICS.
Is it worth downloading now, or would I be better off waiting for the Official Samsung release, whenever that may be?
Waiting for Samsung would mean that I would have to download, preferably, through Kies. However at the moment when I connect to Kies it tells me that my phone is unable to be updated through Kies... could someone help me out with that please?
Thank you in advance.
I would probably wait for an official release from Samsung. Some of the ics roms currently out are great for everyday use, but there are still some bugs.
You wouldn't have to update through kies when the official ics releases. Someone on xda will definitely make a flashable zip. Hope this answers your question.

Hello New_World_Order,
if I were you, I'd wait - not only because of existing flaws (maybe speed, battery or bugs), because it's unfinished,
but also because of the fact that not every app is running with ICS right now.
Many users are currently reverting back to GB and wait because their favourite navigation or something else does not work.
So waiting will have a lot of advantage...
Greetings Psy

Personally, I am enjoying using the latest Samsung's ICS leak, XXLPB, and I am definitely not going to Gingerbread. This ROM is pretty stable, and even TouchWiz looks better. However I understand that many apps are not optimised for ICS, and while some widgets don't support some of its alternative skins (Mobility Flow's Animated Weather Clock, for example). Nevertheless, if you prefer using official updates via Kies instead of trying the latest (and often unstable) leak flashable via Odin, it just may be not for you.
Thanks to the two guys above,

I found it on another site.
I'm waiting for the .zip file to download, then I'll do it and let you know the results.
Only problem being is it will take a while as I have to wait another half an hour after this file finishes downloading to then download the file needed to root it.
I'll come back in an hour or so!

Make sure that it is full Samsung and no custom rom because you should first flash original one when you upgrade from GB.
Greetings Psy
I would recommend waiting.. I just installed an ICS rom and it keeps dying and booting on me..
It is recommended to wait, but you can try it now
Okay so I'm back.
ICS is installed, and I'm just using Titanium Backup Pro to restore all of my apps + data.
(Whilst I was writing this, Titanium finished restoring, or so it said, but there were no apps? Any idea as to why this has happened and how to fix it please?)
First look, I'm pretty shocked.
It's not much different compared to GB.
However, what has been added, is great. I love the way that double clicking the home button brings up a task centre type drop down with which you can close your apps. Great idea, similar to the iPhone.
Overall, I recommend waiting for the official release, but if you're impatient like me, then sure, go ahead and give it a go.
Not all apps are working on ICS but almost all do. I am happy with Resurrection Remix ics v9.4 Ultimate XXLPB 4.0.3 FULL-Wipe ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854. It is very stable fast and good battery. No way am I going back.

Well actually depends of what are you trying to do with your ROM, right now all are experimental and certainly had bugs, if you like testing flash now
Btw i'm using the Resurrection ROM of westcrip too and it's very stable.
Wait, wait, wait
while XXLPB is the most stable so far
it still has a long way
a lot of bugs
a lot of random restarts
not to mention not all applications are compatible
I took a look at the Resurrection ROM last night before hand, however the latest ICS was released so I went for that.
Everything works perfectly fine, the only thing missing is the flash player on the browsers, which im sure someone knows how to fix!
Overall it's quite good.
Testing the battery life today as that's important to me due to college 9-5 on most days.
I'll give you guys some feedback tonight about my first full day!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If you are rooted or plan to root, I would recommend Westcrip's Resurrection ROM 9.3. Battery seems good so far, fast and almost totally bug free. The official ROM will not be totally bug free & probably heavier on the battery. The only drawback is many of the apps will not work with ics. If you have a problem and have followed the instructions for Resurrection, it's likely that the problem is an incompatible app.
My suggestion is go for it, it's better than Gingerbread and you can always install the genuine version when it comes out.

Hi, I have been asleep for a while now, so I was not watching the scene on 4.0 ICS recently. Now when I got my phone from second repair in last two months, I have noticed plenty of 4.0.3 ROMs, that seems to be more or less stable, with and without Samsung apps and so on.
Because it would take too long to check all of the roms and keep flashing reflashing modding, and testing, I got little tired of that now, and I dont have time to start studying how to cook my own ROM and do it. So I would like to ask you guys for help.
I am looking for some ICS ROM that would be as clean and stable as possible these days, which means, no samsung apps, no extra features, just clean android as close to stock from Nexus phones as possible. Dev should instead of adding new features focus on making the ROM as stable as possible.
Thanks for suggestions, as my signature says I am now on Simplistic rom, which is pretty good, but just wondering if there is anything even closer to what I am looking for you might see somewhere. Thanks for any suggestions
Official out in a few weeks... wait
Or flash one of many beta roms but may have a few bugs
And search ?!!?!?!? All your answers are already out there
I recently moved from Gingerbread 2.3.6 to AndyX Rom v5.3 which is based on Android 4.0.3 [XXLB].
Very good.....stable....fast...and good battery backup. You can give it a shot.
Official from samsung will contain samsung apps+touchwiz, which I hate, and same does Andy's rom, I have already tried his 6.0 version.

Did a nandroid of good old Hyperdroid. Im using andy's 6.0 version. Froze all the samsung bloatware and using the cm9 launcher. Been pretty smooth, widget locker runs like ass though so just sticking with Face Unlock for now.
Edit: Just needed to update Widget Locker. Working Fine now
Looks like you are already on a good rom. There are no stable roms yet.
I have tried almost all of them. I liked cm9 the most. Looks like it will be a rom which can be used right out of the box. But lacks some features since it is only experimental.
Wait for a couple of weeks, then you should have many stable roms to try out. Or in a month, or think we will have proper cm9

hi there,
I'm using Westcrips LPH resurrection ROM remix V9.3... and really wow ! I haven't had any FC's or i haven't seen any crashes or something like that.. ? Its really weird because Android 4 is still under development... but this ROM is really ready for daily use !
Vibration with ringtone is within this ROM, You could delete the Google apps if you want bu using root explorer, The only thing that I've noticed is that the vibration don't works with notifications..
Ive already resolved that problem by downloading an app called: Sound Manager. And change the settings under 'Notifications' to Vibrate whenever possible.. And it works..
You should try that one

I've been testing the "resurrection remix v9.3 ICS black edition xxlph 4.0.3. full-wipe". Flashed it earlier today but I've had westcrips remix rom since v8.6 and it has some fc's but they are really rare and battery life is quite good. Also touchwiz has been removed and it has both trebuchet and nova launchers. Give it a go if you don't mind doing full wipe You can find a video of the rom from youtube or by searching android development section.

Not to be rude or anything...But is there a reason why this is your first post and you created this account in this month? Coincidence? I think not!
Promotion of your OWN rom? I think so!
Have a nice day!
ive been using this one for a bit, its worked out surprisingly well so far. still needs a few little tweaks but its surpassed my expectations (been on villainrom, checkrom, omega ics previously)
Pure ICS v6.1
The only thing I dont like ICS is battery drain. No matter what ROM I use, it drains my batt 1% every 8min when the display is on. I prefer CM7 and cant wait for CM9 to have its video recording fixed !

I havent experienced that at all, I had it go around 30 hours with 3.5 hours of screen on time and still had 30% battery life the other day. And there was a pretty significant amount of internet usage in that time too

use code *#9900# and disable FAST DORMACY and then see if your battery life gets better.. if you'd like to know what that is, check http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9191759/Fast_dormancy_to_improve_smartphone_networking_and_battery_performance_
I would also vote for "resurrection remix" I'm using the 9.0 version now with the xxlph kernel and beside a few glitches it has been very stable.
Has anyone played with CM9 - ICS firmware, it would be great to know how stable that is.
Im using the XXLPH - but I have been have slight problems with Wifi Scan, it doesn't seem quick enough, not like the other android phones I've used.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

IMHO, CM9 is the best ICS except you can't record video using the camera app. Wait until the devs get the source code. Other than that, this ROM is outstanding! I think next month is ICS month for all
Recently my Galaxy S2 with CM9 became slow, the Lock screen response time is really slow..
In cm7 it was never like that
Any thing I can do to change it?

Reflash. Make sure you wipe everything on the reinstall, and remember ICS (including CM9) is still in beta for our device, which means that there will be bugs.

Oh, well, in that case...try my advice in the above post.
check in settings under apps for any thing thats taking too much resources
The latest 02202012 build uses Samsungs newest Kernel which still seems to have issues. Its slow for me too but not unusable. Some people in the CM9 discussion thread suggest going back to the 01292012 build as it was smoother.
Ive searched and searched for the answer all over this forum but apparently I cant find it. I rooted my phone and installed the Paranoid Jellybean ROM on my SGH-i717 and it works great however it will randomly reboot itself. Anyone have any thoughts or Ideas? Or if there is already a post lead me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
Many JB roms, to certain extent, have this issue.
Go try a ICS ROM.

I have to agree with this
But its not necessarily the rom, or user error,I just don't believe all notes are made 100% the same
You don't hear about random reboots on ICS much at all though...
I feel you.
OMG the reboots and shuts downs are starting to be annoying. :crying:
Mine seem to come in spurts. The other day it happened 5 tikes within 3 hours. Every reboot happens while I was on the phone so I had to reflash to hey audio back. Before that it had been forever since a reboot

Its due to unstable kernels. The kernels are just modified ICS kernel so u will have issues until or if job becomes official for us

Same here, i tried all (well at least the ones posted on XDA) roms and all of them gave me a random reboot at one point. I dont have this problem on ICS roms though.
However i just tried gubment cheeze 2 days ago, GREAT rom so far, not 1 reboot(i couldnt make it one day without a reboot on other roms)
its still early so i'll report back in a few days about reboots
but of course not all roms will work the same with your phone, u have to install and find out by trial and error. but other than this new rom im trying, i say all of the JB ones with give you a reboot of some sort
Been on padawn ics for weeks,not ONE random reboot
Anybody been trying jb roms again?have they figured out how to stop the rebooting?
I'm on CM right now ...
Latest build ....and no problems to speak of here...
They continue to do a great job.
I don't use any other JB builds beyond a quick look, so I can't speak for those ....g
Well it appears that there are only nightly builds for the i9100, but I can't see any known problems.
This is my mum's phone, and she has been telling me it's really slow so I thought going from 4.0 stock to CM10.1 4.2 would really help that, with project butter and stuff.
She uses wi-fi tethering alot, and I've seen on alot of custom roms that that doesn't work, but as I said, I didn't see any known problems for the CM10.1 nightly build. I don't want to flash her phone with something that'll make her lose functionality.
Thanks guys

Install the samsung JB leak..I would not recommend CM since it is still under development. But there are no big issues i myself use it. But since its your mom's phone its better to keep it stock.
Also there isn't Project Butter in CM.
But did you flash with a full wipe? Quite strange your mom does notice it's very slow, because there are a lot of people (understatement) who are really satisfied with the performances of CM10.1.

Not your phone, not running stock & an 'average' user using it day to day sounds like asking for problems to me. And potentially a lot of you playing 'tech support'.
If it were me, I'd be leaving it stock.
Do a factory reset & a clean install of apps/etc if it's a bit sluggish (remember, you don't have first hand knowledge of this, just what she's told you & also remember she is an 'average' user, so it may be running just fine most of the time).
Why not Chameleon Rom?
I suggest to use this rom because it has the CM layout but its samsung base so no bugs
