Is there an ICS rom as Google intended (ie without Touch Wiz) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi, is there an ics rom for the sgs2 which hasn't been samsung-ized? i guess the same as what's on the nexus.
i've spent about half an hour looking round here and google. i found this
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-pure-ics-rom-50788/
but it's a couple of months old and wondered if there was anything more recent?
thanks, kris

I think this is what your looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601518

There are indexes of ROMs in both the Android Development and Original Android Development sections. You'll want to look at the ones labelled as AOSP or AOKP. Look them over, research them, flash them to try them out yourself.

Yeah, that (F1) is one option... Not sure why, but it's not listed in either of the indexes.
Neither is this one (CBR).
Both of these (F1 and CBR) are those developers attempts to capture the true Google AOSP feel of ICS.

perfect, thanks both!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419102 is also an option, most of the other AOSP/AOKP based ROMs use the device specific repositories from Cyanogen for the SGS2.

I am using a pretty good one too. It's the Resurrection Remix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854).
You should take a look.

The pure rom is released in a special version 2.0. I like this rom. It's based on a official samsung rom with a ics theme and the aosp apps. The samsung bloatware is removed.

Seperate Forums

I think we should seperate the 4.0 and 5.0 forum into two seperate forums. Most of the roms and kernels, etc... are not cross compatible so there is no reason why we should keep them as a single forum. and if not, then we should at least have two different android development sections in this forum so we can keep everything seperate.

Development for the 5.0 version is almost null right now, so I don't think it's worth the effort.

Plus, devs for both devices can help devs for the other device! United we stand, divided we fall! Who would have thought Patrick Henry had a galaxy player!

first the 5.0 version was more active than the 4.0 version or at least i felt that way,and now i see more and more 4.0 topics so i guess the 4.0 are the king of queens
Too bad, that Samsung threw 2 players on the market last year. If only the differences weren't that big. I mean e.g. why does the sgp5 has a flash light but no Wolfson DAC?
The developement base combined would be so much stronger for both devices.
Now, maybe Android Jelly Bean gives development for both devices a little push.
Currently I have no idea how to get jellybean to the sgp devices. Only the 5.0 has ics and a lot of stuff is still broken. But separate forums is a good idea and maybe add the 3.6 and 4.2 players...

+1 from me, at the moment it's so hard to find updates for the 5.0 roms in that huge pile of 4.0 threads. It would be so much easier to have a subforum for that.

That's the thing, there are NO updates for the 5.0 GB ROMS. ICS ROMS are not usable if you care for the crappy camera, Bluetooth functionality or HW acceleration.

[4.2 PA Rom] - it's available!?

This thread is for Paranoid Android ROM .. links below. I'm facilitating for now, not involved in the development.
Anyone here tried it? I'm on Wookie 4.1, waiting for BB8 to smooth out before I take the 4.2 plunge. Feel free to chip in.
Thoughts?
The builder of this ROM maintains a presence on Rootzwiki, link below. Feel free to comment in this thread; he'll monitor here until further notice !

Pretty cool. I'll have to try this later today. Also it's cool to try the pie on a tablet for a first time . But I'm wondering, does this use namidairos device tree.

Hey, good to hear from Suomi :cyclops:
I have fond memories of Helsinki...my partner is from there. Yes I tried the slice 'o pie on my Nexus S, wasn't convinced. Maybe it's more useful on a tablet. Kindly share your experience if you give it a go.
Haha do you know any words anymore? And I might have a chance to flash in 30 minutes. Altrough I'll flash cm10.1 kernel after I'll flash this. As this isn't from xda. So I don't trust this 100%

Edit: I don't know why but my prime charges only about 40% in 12 hours altrough I'm using 5v 2a charger. And shutting down doesn't affect the speed. Also this rom was postes on rootzwiki: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/38279-romjb-bootloader-paranoidandroid-300r3-beta-unofficial-2132013/

Switching between multiple users causes my prime to crash with the 4.2.2 build from Feb 13
The 4.2.2 build came February 15... but anyway. I just tried and my prime also crashed, and obviesly I didn't use any themes. Earlier when I tried multi user worked on cm10.1 :/
Edit: I went to settings and made a new user on my main user, the press the new user, unlock and set it up. And after that it won't crash
Edit2: nope switched between users few times and my prime crashed again

I don't know anything about this ROM specifically. I've built my own version of PA. I've been trying out pie and it's OK but it's nothing like having the nav bar down there. The nav bar is just so much easier and has more functionality than the pie controls. imho the tablet mode with PA is the way to go. It's much better than tablet mode with other ROMs like jellybeer. PA maintains the ability to customize the nav bar and status bar toggles while in tablet mode. Most other ROMs I've tried with tablet mode feature, when you are in tablet mode you lose any customization abilities.

[Q] [Request] Android 4.2.2 ROM port over?

Would anyone else love to see the 4.2.2 ROM ported from the Google Edition One to the DNA? I have been trying to get some sweet stock Android on my DNA for a long time and it doesn't appear there are any ROMs on here or anywhere else that would accomplish that. Is it possible?

CM vs. Stock Android = two completely different roms. I want to use the CM 10.1 roms, but they don't have working BT audio yet. Maybe this phone's rom will help them get it working? The GPE rom will get tweaked and modded by the htc one community and hopefully those will be easily ported to the dna. Sense is cool and all, but I would like to free up some space on my stupid 16gb of non-expandable storage more than anything. Heck it might even get better battery life without all that htc stuff running in the background? Keeping my fingers crossed. :good:
There are plenty of stock roms. Not necessarily pure aosp, but there's cm amongst many other roms. And they are all about 99% working.

Why are there no enough ROMs for Z2?

Hi Guys
I used to have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 there are hundreds of ROM for that device or any Samsung devices. Now Im using this amazing device but there is no enough developer working on it. Why is that? There are only 2 ROMs I can see active doing updates all the time.
Yeh, but most of the ROMS are nearly identical. Here we have a some stock based and some CM/AOSP based but all are different.
It was the same with the S3, hundreds of ROMs but nearly all the same, only 1 or 2 were "proper" roms, developed and not "cooked"
There are at least 3 stock ROMS and at least 2 CM/AOSP roms here.
What exactly are you looking for?

There is nothing like that in here. CarbonROM looks nice but its unofficial. I dont flash unofficial ROMs.

would be awesome

Nx rom was always one of my favorite roms on my Moto g3. I love nx rom. I have absolutely no intention to do a bad advertisement against it. And I was not the only one with booting issue. The problem might be on my side but I hope to come back to it soon.
