Hi, I just recently came back to this forum, pleased to find that we now have CM10 working on Amaze ! (Thank you sportsstar!)
However I did have a couple issues when installing, and seeing as how a lot of people in the CM10 thread asked to redirect questions here, I figured I make a thread.
My problem is that it seems as though no matter what I install, there is always a problem. As far as I know, I am using the basic ICS-Ruby kernel that was dumped 6+ months ago. I installed the CM10 rom using 4EXT, with no issues.
However when I installed the Gapps (gapps-jb-20130301-signed) I constantly had the Android keyboard force close on me. So instead I tried to install the JB-4.2-Gapps-signed. With these, the Android keyboard would not force close but the Google Now search app would force close everytime.
I've also tried installing the DARK GLASS 0.6 ROM by jose, but then the wifi would not turn on. (When I would try to turn it on, it would just hang saying "Turning on Wifi").
It is probably worth mentioning that I did do a full wipe everytime I installed the CM10 rom. I was sure to be very thorough. When I installed DARK GLASS 0.6 ROM, again, I did a full format of partiitions, and a wipe. Still the issues above arise.
Can someone maybe help me out as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

EDIT: I just looked at my phone info, and apparently the kernel I'm using is 3.0.53-gd28c6eb. Is this okay or do I need to flash a new kernel ?

I can't seem to find a stable release, yet a lot of youtube videos show people using it?
I've tried the nightly versions and for some reason it just hangs at the samsung load screen.
Anyone know what's happening with it? are we waiting on CM9+ICS instead of CM 7.1 now?

I've installed a couple of the nightlies and not had major issues. There were indeed bugs, which made me move on to other ROMs (among other reasons, including the fact that my old HD2 had CM7 and it got a bit old).
As far as my experience goes, the nightlies have been quite stable. As mentioned, there were bugs here and there, and a force close from time to time. But I didn't have the problem you've mentioned with hanging at install.
They did take a while to load the first time, longer than I remember was the case on my HD2. Did you wait long enough? Delvic/cache cleared?
EDIT: I also found a CM9 around New Years, but it wasn't as stable and had charging issues. But I think it's out and the waiting's over, really.
EDIT AGAIN: The other option would be to try out the official ICS release, which can be found at samfirmware.com. That's my plan for the weekend.
like the previous...Sounds like your flashing over existing roms without wiping everything first...From recovery mode after backing up, the best way I find is to wipe data/clear cache and wipe dalvic cache from advanced menu before flashing any roms...that way your starting with a clean slate and will be less conflictions from old to new.
for me CM7.1 not stable
I'm waiting a stable CM9 its promising
If you follow the instructions on how to install it, it's stable for everyone. I'm using it for many many months now, and it's stable.
If you're coming from other ROM's, make sure you do a FULL wipe, and flash the rom TWICE in a row, without rebooting recovery.
And yes, we're waiting for CM9. CM7 is not supported anymore for SGSII.
I cleared the data, the cache, went into advanced and cleared the dalvik cache.
Installed the nightly, which I thought was trange was only 100mb, normally ROM's are like 300mb.
I'll try flashing the ROM twice as TheSaw has said. However, after seeing that CM7 isn't supported, I may think twice, i'm just getting bored of the stock.
Might also be worth noting, i'm using [email protected] #k2-18 kernel.
Also, by the way Sean is here, did you know you've got a USA flag in your mini profile under your username? will the official release be a odin flash? or can I just use a .zip through CWM to flash it? and would I still be able to use the speedmod kernel with ICS?
Always working for me and thousands of others .
Usual story is wrong install .

I managed to get this working, by installing the ROM once, and then installing it again straight after.
I was just wondering, is there a way to move the lock screen lock down to the bottom of the screen, i.e. above the unlock and camera buttons? and is there a way to change the clock?
So, I recently got my S2 (YAY!).
I flashed the latest SlimICS (at the time), which was the one before 4.1...
I also flashed Siyah Kernal.
Since I updated to the latest SlimICS version, I am getting issues with Data & Tethering. If I enable them both, data starts jamming (only on the up arrow), and it won't work. I turn off data, and the tether turns off aswell!
I turn them all back on, but the same happens.
It must take me like, 6 tries to make it work correctly
Any ideas? I don't think this was happening on the old SlimICS!
Hello there,
All of those Slim ROM-s are lightened by removing that components because it taking so many room.
Try with some nonSlim ROM...
Cheers

Like a cm Rom? Will do
EDIT: Ok, did the same on the CM9 rom, so I was thinking - maybe it is a kernel bug? So, I re-flashed SlimICS zip, (to override the SiyahKernal), and SHAZAM! It seems to be working again :/
lol well good to see you got it working again... but maybe next time you try asking in the Slim Rom thread (because most users don't check in here).
That goes for any rom -- it's best to ask in their thread for more help and answers (most users don't look into here - I do once in a blue moon).
I have a Motorola Atrix on Bell (Canada), and for the past few months it's been running perfectly on a ICS version of Paranoid Android with no issues. I recieved a 32gb SD card for xmas, and I was reinstalling the ROM to move it to internal storage so that I can use my SD Card for music. I decided that since I was reinstalling the ROM I may as well get a new one, so I got the Paranoid Android JB ROM. I installed it to internal storage, with the tweaked body option, and it worked fine. Then I used the option chooser and installed some gapps like the play store, maps, youtube, as well as nova launcher and adobe flash, then rebooted. I first noticed that the wi-fi isn't working. It gets stuck at 'turning on wifi'. Also, none of the gapps were installed, just the launcher. The main issue, is that every couple minutes the phone will shut off. It also takes much longer than usual at the M screen (30-60 sec). It seems to turn off whenever I press the power button to wake it, whenever I plug in or unplug the device, and occasionally just randomly when the device is in use.
The phone is semi-operational right now besides having no Play store and the very frequent shut offs. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried a few different JB ROMs and they all have the shutting off issue, but Paranoid Android seems to be the only one with the Options chooser not working correctly.
Flashed back to the CM7 ROM Neutrino 2.9 . Works perfectly. Still though, is there any reason the JB Roms won't work for me? I know I've tried one in the past and it worked fine, but didn't want to keep is since is was still in Alpha at the time.

All ICS/JB ROMs are in early beta still. They're stable, just lacking hardware acceleration.
Did you do proper wipes and format /system partition before installing? Did you re-downloading the ROM and installing again? Did you try CM10 build from EPinter's? Sounds like your using Aroma installer, try flashing normal zip files for gapps, never had issues.
A lot of people are running CM10 as daily without issues, so retrace your steps to see if you overlooked anything.

Hi,
Not sure where to report this kind of thing but I seem to be getting frequent lockups on my S2 with the Resurrection Remix 3.1.3 that I wasn't getting with the previous 3.1.2.

You mean freezes and/or fc's? You actually have to ask in the RR-thread, but I understand you only have posted 8 posts for now.
Remember RR 3.1.3 is still very new and under development, and isn't as stable as 3.1.2 is. If you want more stability, flash the 3.1.2-version.
And did you flash it with a full wipe? It's a must.

The normal procedure would be to first read through the posts on the roms dev thread and see if others have had same issue and what (if any) solution is. if you dont see any comments then make one of your own explaining issue (You wont be able to do this until you have 10 posts).
Before leaving any replies on topic you should try doing a wipe/factory reset in recovery then boot to system see if you have same issues. Its advised to wipe recovery before each rom flash (Unless you have stock kernel, If you have stock rom/kernel you need to flash custom kernel before wiping. You can mostly ignore wiping if you are updating to new version of same rom however its still advised as somtimes can lead to issues.
You dont need to worry about apps/appdata and sms etc as you can easily backup them with Titanimum Backup Pro and SMS Backup etc. Get pro version of TB as you can batch backup/restore app/appdata in one go.

Thanks for the replies!
It freezes as in apps start becoming more and more unresponsive, sound if playing starts to stutter more and more until it ceases playing at all and phone us completely unresponsive except to a long hold if the power button. Sorry but I don't know what FC is.
I upgraded because the notifier informed me that there was a new ROM; I see now that it's a good idea to wait a bit now. I've downgraded to 3.1.2 which I've been very impressed with the responsiveness and stability of.
My first attempt at installing 3.1.3 was an attempt at an upgrade but didn't work very well as I think I followed the wrong procedure. But the issues I was having were with a wipe and reinstall following all the steps in the manual plus an undocumented one to install the keyboard patch for the S2 to make the keyboard work at all.
TheATHEiST ok will try reporting there next time, hopefully my post count will allow it by that time

I can confirm that I have followed all the procedures (flashed at least 20 differet roms by now) and can also confirm that I have been facing a laggard and slow responsiveness throught out the rom, with couple of FCs and lockups as well. At least thrice I had to force reboot. Also I have done an extensive search and the only thread I could see on the similar issue was this.
I am posting here because of same reason as OP as I have a low post count but I have been following xda for over 2 years now.
I know the obvious answer is to downgrade to 3.1.2 or not install RR at all. This is "just reporting", you know!
Thanks!
Hey, I am also experiencing the same thing as the OP and 7mojo. My S2 would randomly freeze and the only way to get it working is a hard reboot. It happens randomly but quite often, I would say atleast 3 times a day. I have done a full wipe and re-install but no luck. Like 7mojo said, I too have searched the web and the only thing relating to this issue is this thread. Anyone else having this problem? any solutions? I hope there is an update soon.

I've had similar problems.. am guessing its due to bugs in the unstable rom. Will have to wait for the dev to release an update. For the time being, better stick with 3.1.2.
As for me, I switched to JellyBAM. And then to CM10.1. And then to Omega.

Hi
I was using the previous version of Iced Bean and liked it a lot. However after only one month it became slow. Seeing that a new version was available, I flashed 4.0 on my Xperia Ray with a stock kernal. The ROM has several new features and I liked it a lot. But there were a few bugs that I would like to report here for the developer and in case anyone knows an easy fix for them.
The telephone icon disappears regularly. Fancy features are fine, but easily using the device as a phone is a must
The ROM became very laggy almost immediately after installing my favorite apps. Rebooting did not help and there is pleanty of free space on the phone and on the SD
The internet browser crashes a lot. This was also a problem in the previous version.
I can not turn off 180 degree rotation of the screen. For me, this alone is almost a deal-breaker.
I hope this message will be found by the appropriate people. :fingers-crossed:

Seeing as you are under the number of required posts to post in the Development section, here are some steps/suggestions that may help:
Re-flash the firmware (FTF)
Install a recommended (if there is) kernel
Enter the recovery menu
Wipe cache and dalvik-cache
Install ROM
Waiting for a few minutes for the ROM to settle. There usually won't be any issues if you have performed the procedure mentioned above.

Thanks for the reply. I tried these steps already and have moved on to another ROM.
Perhaps there was an issue with my phone in particular or a problem with compatibility with one of the apps I like.
