Am considering KI8 but holding back - is there any point if ICS is round the corner?
I can't find much solid info on when ICS will be available for the S2... Anybody know if we'll see it inside of a month or so?
tia!
Surely it will depend when the source code is released? That's assuming they do as they didn't with honeycomb

ICS isn't even related yet, i would imagine the sgs2 will get ics, how quick is anyone's guess.
Team hacksam will work in it, but it's a whole new version and will take time for them to port it when then source hits.
They said they wouldn't release the honeycomb sources to stop people putting it on phones and giving everyone a bad experiance, we ics is gingerbread+honeycomb we should get sources again.
Again, how soon, no one knows, depends how much has changed, aka how hard it is for the cm guys to port, or how fast samsung are.
So go for ki8, you shouldn't need to wipe between stock roms versions, i hear it's supposed to be faster than ki3.
Goodness knows when the next leak will be.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
for me there doesnt seem much point in going for Ki8, not because ICS may turn up but because every rom thread ive read based on it seems to be quite buggy. Im sticking with Ki3 until something comes out that adds something new
I havent used KI3 so I can't compare.
Im using KI8 and havent stumbled over any bugs.
Device is fast, stable and smooth, even when underclocked at 800 using setCPU.
Using chainfires rooted stock KI8 kernel.
Best battery life I've had on this device so far. Have frozen the usual apps tho.
My opinion..worth it.

SEE MY THREAD IN DEVELOPMENT IF YOU WANT THE ZIP TO TRY IT. IT IS ALREADY TO GO FOR I777.
Just letting others know to flash newest GB.. It is German unbranded and the smoothest GB ROM so far...
don't do it unless you know how to hellraise off course.

Its a i9100 rom. Can u provide a link to a flashable stock zip of it?
Stock SGS2 Sammy builds are always buttery smooth.
just letting people know that the newest GB is the smoothest. I have it done, hellraised, added 14 toggle, bln, newest DD, removed some bloat. I will try and upload a almost stock version in development soon.
Its in general section of 1900 forum. Have to use mobile Odin or Odin to flash.. Then hellraise it. Then add modem. Etc....

Oh, it's a 1900 ROM.

I have tried Neophyte's custom (illusion) built from this new base but it's been a minute since I've tried a stock ROM...I will have to give this a try this weekend.
Not sure but I might try with Mobile Odin or maybe the new Flash-o-holics tool...man you gotta love the Devs we have, making it fun even to flash a stock ROM!

Do you have to use ODIN/Mobile ODIN?

That thread says CWM, and the instructions say install from recovery.
I'm bored, I'll give this a shot.
Reading the thread, it seems like you can flash it via CWM and then apply Hellraiser afterwards.
In my opinion, that release is too new to properly pass judgement on it. It can often take a few weeks before bugs in a firmware build become clearly evident.
Look at what happened with UCKK6 - two ROM developers rebased on it, even though after a few more weeks it became clear it is one of the worst bases that one could possibly pick. This fact wasn't clear when they made their decision because it was too new.
That said: So far, XWKL1 seems pretty solid.
I think the op was referring to this particular ROM...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483131

All true. I'll consider myself a guinea pig of sorts then. I'll report back as much as I can find.

uploading in development. will work on it more when I figure out my usb issues with my ebay laptop ?
ALMOST STOCK XWAL4
odexed (faster in my opinion)
lidroid quickpanel 14 toggle
newest dailydriver from Entropy 2.7
bln app and files
faster gps
removed buddies and sns files
removed memo and maps
old market app to install old version of market for fc issues
superuser/root
XWLA4
should be ready in a few minutes as long as upload doesn't break
This is early, but this release might suffer from the infamous AOS bug in regards to wifi aswell. Did a test by resetting my CPU Spy and checking in on it at 20 mins and the phone is only entering deep sleep 89% of the time. Also behind display, "Android OS" has the second highest battery consumption.
So what exactly is so much smoother about it?

it does seem very smooth. i might keep it around just for the lockscreen.
Hi. I just received my att galaxy note. Pretty excited about this phone. I'll be using it on Tmobile. Any help with be appreciated with regarding to the best gb rom with kernel and other tweaks. Also would like to know the available radios for Tmobile 4G and their stability

Even though we only have a few ROMs available, 'best' ROM is still a matter of personal preference, so just try the few out. Saurom has a ton of options, Solaris Prime is super smooth from my experience, and oh yeah, I would give ICS a shot, I think people may have it working on TMobile.

Hi everyone
Has anyone seen any difference between the new xxlq5 modem against lps?? I seem to get slow speed but more bars.
Wondering if anyone else tested or saw any major difference. Just living for suggestion really.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Every network is different so every modem will respond differently so your question is stupid. For me, in the south of the UK on 3, LPS is better but LPS still isn't as good as the good ol' modems like KI3. Keep flashing modems until you find one that works for you based on your network and location.
Thanks and no thanks because a question is never stupid but answers are.
However i am on three UK in south east. Have flashed lps which seems to be good but gonna try ki3 to see what's that like. Have flashed almost all the ones which are available from the past but i was looking for a generic answer to see if people have found any significant difference as end of the day modems are related to the handset model than network!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Erm, are you in the South East on an exchange?
Anyway, I got "generic answer" - no there isn't one, and no modems aren't related to the handset model, if that's what you're trying to say.
Keep trying modems until you found one you like, out of all the modems I've ever tried there has been difference, but really not much.
Edit after seeing the tags, who sets them? hahahahaha, brilliant.
Hey guys .. never mind what would be the modem that u'll flash but i just want to confirm that if you want to test a modem please see it effect after 48 H don't know why but i can see that the performance is stabilized in 48 H
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Thanks Mo. I wonder why 48 hours? Its a software driver written to run a piece of hardware so shouldn't have a time related issue?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Time isn't so much an issue, but you should probably test a modem in different locations/at different times of day for a bit before you decide whether it's a dud or a keeper so far as connectivity/data is concerned. If you use it once & get average reception/data speeds (as opposed to crappy from the get go; if it's that bad you can assume it's a dud), how can you possibly know that wasn't a temporary network issue ?
When I tested a bunch of modems after switching to CM9 ~4 mths ago, I tried ~12 modems. A few I tested for 5-10 minutes & decided they were no good pretty much immediately because they were significantly worse than the modem I was using at that time (very poor/no connectivity). And the other 8 or so I tested over 2-3 days each to get an idea of what they were like. In the end I stayed with the modem I'd been using for the previous few mths and am still using that modem now.
Same here. Using lps have tested ki1,ki3,ki4,nelp3,nelp4,kh3,lq5. But i think lps beats them all on 3 (UK) in London. Does anyone know when Samsung is going to release this 4.0.4 officially on kies? As that might pack a new driver/modem.
Jelly beans isn't coming to s2, which i can understand from revenue point of view.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
You're on XDA, Jelly Bean is already on S2s. I might be wrong but isn't LPS the 4.04 modem already. The difference between modems is no negligible and newer isn't necessarily better. How are you doing these tests?
Mate you need to grow up a bit more and research before you make statements. Jelly bean is only started off as being ported in gs2 and half of the stuff doesn't work. So i don't know where you are coming from.
And LPS came with 4.0.3 xeu, lq5 is with 4.0.4

Android 4.0.4 for Russia is out, just flashed the Rom and indeed its smooth. Better than leaked one. XXLQ6 seems to giving good speeds.
Now won't be too long until xeu models get it first.

Hey recently got my s3 international version rooted. Was wondering if I cud get a few suggestions for stable working roms. I am thinking bout putting 1on
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Best bet is too read through the roms in dev section. The ICS roms are all pretty stable now but the JB roms are pretty good too though they are still mostly beta tests... Lets put it this way, JB hasn't been released for the sgs3 yet, there's gonna be bugs. There are workarounds though to most things if you read.
I tend to be using Omega rom at present. Does everything I need and works well. I use RGUI on my 2nd sgs3, though I tend to also put others on there to test...
For future reference, best ROM/recommend a ROM threads are not allowed here.
Like the guy above said, read through ROM threads and see what you like.
