ICS for SGSII isnt much stable in my oppinion, but there's no reason for you not to try it.
I can recommend you a few roms - Slim ICS [ its really small ], RessurectionRemix, Cyanogenmod 9..
Altho, never tried the Slim one, I think CM9 is the best for ICS at the moment.
Im not an expert tho.Good luck.

Hello Dear,
I've Galaxy S II with cooked ICS ROM ?
I'd like to re-install the official ROM from SAMSUNG 2.3.5 ( Gingerbread )
Best Regards,
How do you have ICS? I call BS.

it will either be a themed rom or miui's with ICS framework, anyway just flash stock ROM through odin and your good to go. There's a thread by intratech with them on.

Just flash any ics rom in odin
I advise 4.0.3 LPG. Current 4.0.4 ROMs are still immature and new releases for wide Europe will come soon

Either root your device with CF root and flash custom roms, or go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock firmware and flash through odin if you want stock ICS

DOES the 4.0.4 have any issues ? or any bugs ?
If your already on ics.then use the link in second post(phil)
if u are on gingerbread and want to upgrade then u need to upgrade bootloader and to be sure the rom contains bootloader,go to samfirmware.com,register and follow instructions
No not really. No annoying issues

YES i am currently on Gingerbread.I just bought it 3 days ago.......How can i check if ROM contains bootloader ?
ICS is great imo, Just root your phone and then follow the instructions on the rom's thread.

[q] i9300xxalf6

Hi, I got a new S3 last week from Three (H3G) With Xxalf6 And I want to upgrade to Jelly bean or at least the July firmware for the brightness controls. Which firmware can I use to do this? I haven't used an android in about 3 years so I'm out of the loop now!
Thanks

Nope, AT&T has their bloatware in it.

But you can update to that and then use the exynos root exploit app to root it and then just remove bloat. If you wanted.

Flashing roms in CWM is same in all phones...
If you looking for an AOSP roms, you can try SlimBeans... I use it and its really smooth and fast and low battry drain
If you Looking for Samsung base Roms, Try Wanam Lite or Android Revolution HD...
there is lots of note 3 ported roms but i found most of them laggy and unstable...

I have flashed lots of official roms, but i didn't see any important differences between different countries roms... Just some language features...
I'm persian but i flashed MK6 rom that is for Europe, I've got no problem... I can even type Persian...
For 4.3 rom, you've got just few choices and best of them is MK6... The other 4.3 updates have a lots of bugs but MK6 is almost bug free rom...
