I tried most of the ROMs and kernels.
I've been using revolution HD ROM and darknight kernel for a few months now on my SGS2 and it's really fast, stable and smooth.
I have no issues and everything works well!

Battery life is typically 3 days unless I spend a day on GPS and track software (on my bike trips), then it only lasts for 1.5 days...

The team is professional and updates are regular.
Great ROM!

Hi guys


havent flashed any new  roms  in awhile

what is everyone using thesedays on their SGS2's ?

is there any good ICS 4.0+  roms worth trying ?

[Somtamnication]

Still on turkbey 3.7. There are a couple of ICS stuff out there. I believe cyanogen v9 is ICS based, but I have not gone to their forums to investigate.

any news of an official ICS 4.03  in thai yet ?

i read somewhere ,it was being realeased on the 14th of march

[Somtamnication]

I am using Turkbey v1  ICS with the new LPQ modem. Using it for 2 days now and it seems to work very well. Phone is also faster. Tons of these ICS roms on XDA. If you are not adventurous, then you will have to wait for the official, full of bloated sofware version from Samsung.

It looks like updates started on March 12, via KiES for select countries. Not sure when it will be available for your phone. Suggest you update to the latest version of KiES on your PC, and make sure you have enough room on your phone for the update, and back everything up. Maybe best to let others blaze the path unless you are "adventurous"?

Is there a particular feature in ICS you require?

im already "adventureous " ( my galaxy s2 was rooted and flashed on the first day )

im just bored flashing roms that turn out to be "lacking" some important feature etc

i have flashed non stop in first  months but it gets tiresome downloading the missing apps

and applying their settings because for me the full back up never gets every app and setting

i settled on turkbey v31 for the last 2-3 months  ,im sure there is much more advanced roms

been developed by now since the game moves so fast ......i can wait for a stock ics 4.03 but im

sure there will be something even cooler than out soon if it isnt already

I was using Lite'ning rom 7.1 for a while but got bored with it. It also didn't seem to be updated.. So the other night I installed Cyanogenmod 9. Seemed ok, but restoring my old apps seemed to fritz things up and less than an hour after installing it, it was gone... I found the official ICS stock rom. So now, I've (probably temporarily) abandoned 3rd party roms and gone back to touchwiz etc. I have to say, I quite like it. It's quite slick and seems stable. And the only problem I had (when installing an app, it wouldn't let it write to the SD) was resolved with a kernel patch.
I do like using face recognition to unlock. And I also like the way the pages wrap, so if I'm on 7 of the android interface, 1 scroll to the right and I'm back on 1.

[justsumhelp]

Been using cm9 for a while and its still not up to par with the Samsung builds, but Samsung released the ics source code yesterday so we should see alot improvements all around.

Fwiw, Litening 2.1 based on LPQ 4.0.3 has been released. I used the latest Gingerbread Litening and liked it a lot, never bothered with any of the pre-release ICS releases. Now that Litening's done one I'll probably give it a shot...

[justsumhelp]

the lpq modem gave me alot of trouble on True, now using the DXLP7 modem from the latest release and it works much better

[Somtamnication]

The problem with Litening is that he disappeared for MONTHS and never responded to user pm or emails. Then he shows up with the ICS version. I used his 6.1 rom for months and it was stable, but the disappearing act turned me away from his ICS rom.

Still on turkbey v1  lpq. Will burn another rom today, probably criskelo with the new lp7 and see wassup.

[Jayman]

So what ICS roms have been trie here in thailand and how do they perform?  I'm sttill running a rooted GB rom and have no issues but I have started thinking maybe it's time to look into ICS.

[Somtamnication]

Jayman, if you have the sg2, wait a bit longer. Samsung just released the ics rom to developers, so rather than using a leaked version, this new one should be stable once the 12 year olds get their hands on them.

The new lp7 modem is out, as well. I say a day or two more for the actual Sammy released rom to be "completed". I am still on the turkbey lpq ICS 4.0.3 and it works well, but no jkay mod.

[bobl]

Biggest problem I have is i use my sg2 for internet access (wifi hotspot). So if I download any of them and it goes tits-up, I've cut myself off from being able to download a solution... I see above that the LP7 modem seems to be less trouble than LPQ. Tell me, did they fix the "signal strength" bug where it always showed -85dBi? I heard the pre-release ICS's still had that bug...

[tw25rw]

I think you can back your rom up to SD so you can revert to it through CWM if you need to..

[Phil Conners]

I use AOKP (Android 4.0.3 AOSP) with my Google Nexus Galaxy. It comes for a long range of phones including the SGS2.  Once your phone is rooted it is very simple to install, install ROM Manager and Titanium backup from Market/Play (both free), download the appropriate ROM and Gapps images to your phones SD card, take a full backup, Install ClockworkMod recovery (using ROM Manager), reboot into recovery, wipe, load ROM, load Gapps, reboot, done.  It's virtually that simple.

EDIT: Whoops - I just see it's only available for Galaxy S (S9000) - not S2. According to this thread it is due to Samsung only releasing the kernel source code last week, so it should probably become available in the near future.

[justsumhelp]

AKOP is ported to the S2 http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1530179 been using it for about a week now and its really impressive, they have done nice work with the cm9 base. Video camera and fm radio doesn't work, incase your interested.
