What I hate about the ics update from at&t - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Live wallpaper scrolling isn't a option. Some of my wallpapers needs this feature to see all of it.
The stupid at&t name popping up in status bar.
Why force trash like at&t apps when we don't want it and never use.
The battery saving feature icon doesn't turn green anymore in the status bar.

Oh okay. Thanks for letting us know?

Or u could just root and get rid of the bloatware that u hate so much. Its the "official" pics from Samsung and ATT. Of course its gonna have bloatware and crap same as GB and froyo.

Because the average consumer will use the AT&T crap, without knowing any better.

U know how horrible bloat ware is and you expected what....AOSP? is an official release. Switch back to a custom rom if you want moar power.

We've known this would happen since before we even got any leaks. At&t has a history of ****ing up firmware

The bloatware isn't the main issue. Not having the ability for wallpaper scroll is. Half of my LWP apps needs this to show all the picture not just it's middle section. This doesn't matter anymore because AT&T is sending me another new phone in box and I consider gingerbread to be better and give me back what was lost.

I haven't returned it yet. Name one good reason to keep it and what's to gain. People want a new os just because and without good reasons. I have pro versions of Apex, Nova, ADW pro and sometimes use Go. All these launchers don't scroll wallpapers because of this ics update and it sucks.

You must be rooted and not using AT&T ics update. The Galaxy 3 also doesn't allow wallpaper scroll.

Nova doesn't work with the AT&T ics update for my S2 and Galaxy 3 doesn't scroll live wallpapers. I know someone who owns one and tried it. You must be rooted using another rom.

Regarding the red box when the screen transitions, there is a developer setting you simply need to turn off to sort that lol. I'll let you find it for yourselves.

Can choose different as they probably become available. But that is the current one, still not 2. Also will have to buy each individual one just as you do now. That blue is one I was using till I got 2. Actually still use on my transformer Prime.

Installed it on my CM9 S2 and it works fine!
Per shoman94 and Simba501, works only on US ICS and GB versions.
Edit: Works fine on my HP Touchpad running CM9 ICS as well!
How about some screenshots. What's the differences?

You have no clue. There is MANY people outside the USA using this phone. Trust me... I have many of those using my ROM.
From experience, installing different versions of the Play Store to your device besides the one shipped with your device might lead to problems down the road like not being able to purchase things. That might not be the case with this particular build, but if anyone's on the fence, it might be wise to hold off until Google pushes this version of the Play Store out to everyone (you know it'll happen).
Its pretty much the same thing.

I like 3.7.13 way better than 3.7.11. 11 would only show me 25-30 results for each app category, and after using it and reopening it, Movies disappeared.
This version is running flawlessly. Thanks for the link!
