I currently run 4.0.3 Icecream Build ICS.XXLP2 but it locks up and gets very HOT at times till I remove the battery and then power it up again.
all other functions seem fine but i think its time to try a later version.
Anyone recommend what I should be using for Australian Unlocked GT-19100?

Suggest you try a different Kernel. Both Speedmod and Siyah (check thread for viability of latest release... I'm using 3.1 beta 3 without problems. Use Better Battery Stats to identify what is keeping the phone awake (see thread for more information).
Try a different ROM (Turkbey is working well for me and I think is compatible across Europe and has good language support).
Good luck!

Im currently running litening rom 2.7 on vodafone australia im very happy with it. its based on lp7 im also running abyss kernel 2.0 very good .there is a few kernels you can try to see what works for you. http://www.nonsolosmartphone.it/abyssics-kernel-t133.html http://z13.invisionfree.com/Litening/index.php?

Just installed 4.0.3 Icecream Build ICS.XXLP6 (I9100XXLP6_I9100OXXLP3_OXX)
and will run that for a few days and see it it locks up.
If it does then some major changes I think Like suggested above.
Thanks
Quit being lazy. Try a bunch of roms out until you find one you like/that works well for you. Given how easy it is to make/restore a Nandroid backup in CWM, there's no excuse for you not doing this.

Hi Guys,
I want to flash my GTI9100 with ICS. I have looked around but couldn't find the answer. Perhaps I am being over cautious but I need my device as a daily tool.
My question is this;
I am trying to figure out which ICS version that will upgrade me with the least issues based on the my Samsung GTI9100 current configuration (see attachment). Or do I need to go back to total stock config prior to going to ICS?
Any other direction/advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. As in I should just wait for a very solid upgrade.
Thank a lot
until Samsung release an official ROM, there isn't a "safe for daily use" install of ICS for the SGS2
agree with the poster above. wait when there is an official release then update. or wait when the kernel sources are released and then when kernel devs and codeworkx get their hands on the new stuff then i would say go ahead..
That is what i intend to do anyway
Thanks guys, sounds like very good advice. But man it looks sooo sweet
The latest leaked Samsung ROM can be used as a daily ROM. I have been using it for two days now, no FC, no crash whatsoever. Added Nova launcher and I'm happy with that.

Same here, using Ressurection-7.4
Using Westcrip's latest 8.1 rom as a daily rom. No problems at all and ICS is a must for SGS 2. You must try it!! You will not be disapointed mate! And you will never go back to Gingerbread after that

You're fine where you are. Just flash the ICS rom via recovery after backing up everything. Read up on more things beforehand if you have to ask questions like this. Galaxy S devices are almost brick proof with odin but you never know.
I tried out latest ICS for a day. It's stable for a daily rom. Just had a couple of minor freezes and touch sensitivity wasn't as good as gingerbread but if you want to try I recommend it.
I suggestbto try out diffrent ics roms. I'm running cm9, it's pretty stable, few bugs but looks better than any other rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Cm9 is good and well worth a look but the devs are at the mercy of Samsung releasing source code so it's not as complete as LP6.
I do like lp6 as a daily but only after stabilising it. Freezing apps, pinning down battery drain and fixing gps etc.
After you do that it's business as usual. And for the better quality Bluetooth sound alone it's worth it to me.
I installed the 3 file Odin version which is a wipe. The cfrooted with lp6 cfroot kernel.
There are also odexed and deodexed versions to flash. Just search a page or two and you'll find them.
To change look is too easy. If you like cm9 but want most things working just theme lp6 and it's pretty similar in appearance.
Just make backups via CWM and you can bounce between all the firmware, GB, CM9, LP6 etc.
Have fun.

Hey Guys
I just saw I9100XXLPH 4.0.3 on samfimreware ..
did any one tried it and please tell us what are the changes and fixes
I doubt there is any significant changes. Samsung still keeps introducing bugs and bloatware.

I see in your signature that you are using 2.3.6 and also ICS ..
if so what is the most recent and stable version you could recommend to me in both
2.3.6 and ICS 4.0.3 and of course not the stock ones I love custom ROMs

Go for 2.3.6 GB as that is more stable than any ICS out there at the moment. If you go to CM9 you will find it is stable enough to use as a daily driver but you have a few minor details missing. Like video recording, usb storage (or mount storage something like that) youtube not working and any flash player not working properly as they need kernel sources for that.
So flash a 2.3.6 rom flash the new ICS theme and your good to go

Yeah im on LPB and i get instabilities everyday, though not to a serious extent. I would still recommend using the gingerbread ROMs for now until the official final versions of the ICS ROMs are out in march. Less than a month more. Just bear with it!
There is already a couple of quite detailed threads on this subject in general.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I guess you guys are right 2.3.6 is far more stable ..
I have tried ICS 4.0.3 before and it is full of bugs from time to time force close most of apps and get battery life shorter and shorter
one more thing to ask is the CPU speed of S2 increases due to usage because I installed android assistant and got it current speed as 800mhz is this normal ..
or I have to increase it manually ?
ive heard resurrection rom is pretty stable, havent tried it since LP6 and back then the battery overheated and it lasted nothing. Then i tried wanamlite on LPB and didnt quite work for me so i went on wanamlite LP6 v7.7 and its pretty stable but still had couple of bugs and fc's. im feeling tempted to try LPH and i will do it tomorrow
as for GB 2.3.6 stock worked great for me but missed the ICS interface, on GB ive heard checkrom v4 is pretty damn god, didnt work for me due to battery but oh well i didnt quite tweak stuff to make it go longer
as for you frequency question if you want to undervolt it you need a kernel that allows you do to so and then use the setcpu app on market, it should be on 1.2ghz on stock. To verify your frequency i suggest using cpuspy app on market so you can verify the same
hope it helps you mate
cheers
Could give me link the most stable 2.3.6

If you're referring to the above link then its probably neither, looks like a stock ROM to me.
Btw, it helps to quote posts in your replies.

sorry mate I'm new here ..
since I9100XXLPB touchwiz is going worst, i switch to nova launcher which run flawlessly.
- APN configuration are not lost
- samsung software update bug going since LP2 have been removed
- little improvment in battery life
- still a few FC but going better and better, perfectly usable for every life
- i have a few bug with winamp since I9100XXLP2
- don't now if it's linked to rom or if i made something, but since LPB i can't install any apps on SD card
- 3G is better, seem easier to find connection
I tried both LPB and LPH ICS roms. The current ICS roms are good and constantly getting better, but are a still a little too buggy for me. One thing's for sure, I had constant wifi disconnects using the lph modem. In the end I went back to KL1 modem which works flawlessly for me.

Hi all, and thanks for reading this tread,
I have some issues and I'm hoping someone here could help shed some light on.
I was on ICS 4.0.3 and avoiding 4.0.4 due to brickbug issues. but I guess I couln't resist anymore and decided to give it a try. I tried to stay far away from buggy kernel so I used mobile odin to flash I9100XWLPT plus siyah 3.5.2 on one go
the result was a failure however, kernel flashed but firmware wiped (S2 logo was appearing but nothing else / softbrick ?).
Then I said oh well its not (hard)bricked or anything so I decided to use odin to flash I9100XWLPT, than siyah. It went ok but I lost mtp connectivity, tried s3 ported ui... didn't fly as well . Maybe something wrong with siyah 3.5.2 I thought, so tried an older siyah which I did not have an issue with h4.0.3. Situation did not improve however.
Then I flashed my old 4.0.3 and wiped, all ok mtp ok, upgraded to 4.0.4, all go, mtp ok.
Flashed siyah 3.5.2, mtp fails again. Tried android's own factory reset (not the on the boot menu, one on the personalization menu). Ended up with soft brick again (no boot only charging animation and odin mode). Flashed 4.0.4 again.
But this trial and eror process is going more dangerous by the minute I guess, so I decided to ask for support.
Do I do anything wrong? I want to upgrade to 4.0.4 everything as close as possible to stock, plus root and tocuhwiz from s3. its not too much to ask I guess.
Any suggestions and any explanations are very welcome also,
I'll thank any useful comments
kind regards,
I have 4.0.4 since 4th July with its stock kernel and it works perfectly well, I upgraded from 4.0.3 but I never did any wipes just updated on top of 4.0.3 and booted the phone, rooted from chainfires CF root thread, try it that way, worked for me and still is working.

Thanks If all else fails I'll try that, but siyah is a good kernel and it seems to be more battery efficient too.
If its a problem I failed to check with siyah I can go 4.0.4 kernel way but it makes me nervous to run a buggy kernel.

Totally agree Siyah is good I used it on 4.0.3 but it seems to fail on 4.0.4 at the moment I have not actually tried the latest one so it may well be good but I am looking to upgrade to SG3 next week so just want to keep my phone going for the time being no more playing around with this one until I have my new one.
I am using LQ5 which is reported as the buggiest but I can honestly say I have not had any problems at all, battery life appears good enough to me, depends how much you use it I guess.
Try speedmod k30 kernel, completely safe, fast and battery efficient

Thanks, pardon me if I'm being paranoid but I just read a tread about nand corruption so, this isn't something like that I assume. (Odin flash failed and left me with soft brick out of the blue). Did not notice anything about siyah 3.5.2 either so the problem may be with my phone memory.
P.S Prior sentence reads as "Please prove me wrong"
I switched to speedmod kernel, and figured siyah had MTP problems with either 4.0.4 ics or 3.5.2
I asked same questions to those kernels' respective topics & thus this tread fulled it's purpose. Thanks kindly for anyone who read & replied

Hi,
For the past while i was getting the SOD only using Siyah based kernels and Phenomenal was working fine for me, but after updating to version 6.1 my phone has started to switch off again. Is this a problem with hardware and do i need to send the phone away for repair or can it be fixed by myself some other way?
I have went back to Phenomenal 5,5 kernel and am waiting to see if i still get the problem.
Cheers.

Hello,
I have tried just about all the latest ICS and JB roms......
The make of your phone. There are many different variants of your device. I9100 G/M/P/T
Are you rooted/unrooted?
What rom you are using? -and- What kernel are you using?
Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
I have a UK T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II I9100XXLQ6
I am rooted
I was Dual Booting with SuperNexus JB Build 2 and Portal Rom 2.4 using the latest siyah kernel and i got the SOD using SuperNexus, i then removed The second rom and used the ultimate kernel cleaning script to remove Siyah and installed Phenomenal 6.1 with Portal Rom and i got the SOD a day later.
I am not using any mods or extra scripts
I have not changed the dpi
I noticed this problem when i first tried a dual boot a few months ago but has been stable until now only with Phenomenal 5.5. i have tried the other siyah based kernels and i still got the SOD.
Yesterday i flashed the Phenomenal 5.5 along with Portal rom and it's been fine so far but i can get 2-4 days before it happens then it happens a few times daily after the first SOD.
EDIT: Thats it switched off again. Think i will need to send it in for repair?
I'm running stock, rooted and debloated ICS 4.0.4. Everything went fine for a few days after I installed through ODIN, but now when I try to send a text message it more often than not reboots (screen will go black and the phone will do short little vibrations until I hold the power button down for a few seconds). The rebooting has also happened a couple of times when I've been using the mobile data. I've wiped cache/dalvik to ensure that the problem did not come from there, and I wiped EVERYTHING before I installed stock ICS. Any ideas as to what it could be?

Thanks for the reply!
It's the stock ICS 4.0.4 firmware. Baseband: I717UCMD3. Kernel version: 3.0.8. Build number: IMM76D.UCLF6.
Flashed it through ODIN and rooted shortly thereafter. I've been looking through the forums trying to find someone having the same problem and I haven't. My GNote is AT&T branded, unlocked though. I'm using a NET10 SIM (NET10 runs on the AT&T network I believe). I've tried reflashing, wiping, whatever you can think of and still getting reboots/the vibration issue.

If you didn't flash an alternate modem, then you should be good. Maybe double check thread for modem supplied. You can just reflash modem or even try another.

Both Black star and Padawan are very stable even with stock kernel. Not sure how Phase will last with BS. Trickster Mod with either will allow you that little bit OC/UV without needing alternate kernel.
Good luck.

on another site (rootgalaxynote I think) the author recommended the Phase kernel with the Blackstar BlackJelly ROM. I'll give it a shot and if it's not stable I'll revert back to the stock kernel.
You can have different builds and basebands. That doesn't matter.
These phones sometimes get some lint in the power button and that causes reboots. Or the button isn't sitting in its opening exactly right, and a slight touch will reboot the phone.

I used to have the same problem, then I flashed CyanogenMod, and then used Greenify, SD-Booster, and Autokiller (apps) to hibernate my running apps, increase my cache size, and shut down all the background tasks. Suddenly, I had no more reboots or other issues. My phone is also super smooth, super fast, and the battery life is eternal.
