Thanks a lot, does KP8 still have the NITZ problem, and could it be used for a daily?
Report this comment
It’s so so. It’s slow. Maybe that’s because of this launcher. ICS on my galaxy s (from xda) is much faster than this.
I don’t like TW. Give us original launcher.
It will be ok when custom rom will be released. Samsung please hire some other guys to program your launcher.

after ’bout 5 hours here are the issues i found (though some of them have already been reported above)
1. face unlock – unable to finish the setup. after taking your picture and setting up an alternative lock, the setup goes blank and an error message occurs
2. weak/intermittent wi-fi signal – sometimes the wifi signal just goes out or unable to register the signal (i would normally toggle the wifi to get the signal again)
3. home screen problems – i would go on different applications, normally tweetdeck then google plus then go back to the home screen but it would be blank with no icons
4. random reboots – it would suddenly vibrate once, then twice, then reboot..once during a phone call, then another instance while doing normal stuff
thanks for the leak guys! hope to see more stable ROM soon! Happy New Year!

There are many bugs in this room, i’m returned to 2.3.6.
-No HSUPA
-No Yoigo
-No Face Detection and unlock
-No run Plants vs Zombies
But it’s a very nice rom to show the future update for our phones.
P.D.: TW needs any significant change, it’s similar to gingerbread, i vote for a TW more similar than the ICS launch.

Flashed the rom (XXKP8), TW on ICS looks good, but will be nice if samsung gives the option to use their UI or Google’s. Overall the UI of ICS looks very good, its really an improvement from gingerbread, love the new design of the google apps gmail, youtube, gtalk … The scroll in this roms feels strange, and i had a bug after doing a phone call, the home didnt show up and i had to reboot the phone, and it happened several times, but besides that 3g, wifi, gps, where working fine. I hope that sammy hurry up with releasing a final rom, it will awesome
.
And for people asking if they can use it as a daily rom, no you cant, its not stable, but for testing purposes and if you are courious, go for it
Report this comment
Face unlock does work, but only at XXKP4, not at XXKP8!
Camera was no problem, too. I tested normal mode, video mode and panorama mode on both firmwares. Unfortunately the great panaroama function from Samsung had the old bad resolution (It’s the old camera app!). Almost everything worked fine, but in XXKP4 you had to wait about 30 secounds to take a video and even if the photo was clear in XXKP4 the rectangle for the autofocus turned red.
XXKP8 is better in daily use than XXKP4. At XXKP4 I had a few more crashes and you see these red lines at the edge and I think there are a few problems with vibration and some sensors.Many things (like center button, multitasking, switch of, aso ) do work, but you have to be patient and wait for a while. (A few) apps are working. Some Gapps are the old ones. (F.e. not the new google music app) Music app and media scan arn’t working perfectly, too. (But no problem using Power AMP
)
Flashing was easy and working. (But I DID a re-partition. A *.pit file is only useful if you do a re-partition, isn’t it? If not pls send me an E-Mail ) Both firmwares ARE OFFICIAL SAMSUNG firmwares, so custom rom counter did NOT count!
Finally both firmwares are NOT perfect and NOT finished. But you can use, play and (I think) you can work with it, too. But don’t forget it is NOT a FINISHED firmware.
If you do have any questions or wishes, write to Braien@web.de . I’ll answer as soon as possible.
Thanks and a happy new year

Great Rom…..but…. No Signal on Edge/3G. Anyone else having this issue?
Also, scrolling through browser is very stagnant. Again anyone having this issue.

Report this comment
It is very easy:
I’ve tried the latest version XXKP8 filtered and the truth leaves much to be desired,
The issue of blocking usb phone, we will want to plug in a pendrive as gingerbread and not recognize it and if you insist wing locks and remove battery or pressing the power off for a while.
With the camera does strange things and makes you reboot, wanting to see the photo taken for example
The browser has lost is horrible scroll up and down fine now going to stumble
In general it’s all a tad slower to move between menus eg
Facial unlock does not work
Several applications can not be restored with titanium backup
And quite unstable in general.
The only positive so that at least the connection to TV works mhl
I expected ics among many other things to be plugged in via USB gamepads as to a nokia n900 or a tablet with honeycomb android but for now my joy in a well.
In order for this reason is a beta hopefully with a lot of faith that the official rom is stable

Report this comment
once you try to roll back to 2.3.5, you have to wipe the cache and the user data.
enter the recovery mode by pressing volume up+home+power, once you see the the galaxy screen leave the keys for half a second and repress them again; you will inter the recovery mode. then select wipe user data the wipe cache.
it worked for me after this.

If this looks like the final release, this is going to be very, very disappointing. ICS promised a unified UI for tablets and phones, but this UI looks very much like the Android 2.3.4 I have on my SII.
On my Samsung Tab 10.1 with Honeycomb, I have soft buttons on the bottom, to view a list of open apps and to switch to any of them. Another button allows me to go back to the previous screen. These buttons seem present on the stock ICS, but not on this one.
Besides individual improved apps, the ordinary user wont know the difference between this version and the previous one. It looks like Samsung is using the ICS code to upgrade Android 2.3 with TW, rather than that they are making some TW enhancements to ICS.
Not the right way to go Samsung.

Incredible.
Every time there is an update one thing is better and another worse.
With 2.3.6 no problem with VPN L”TP/IPSEC psk. With 4.03 no connection with the same paramteres.
Home button does not work. Power button shut the device immediately.
Too much persons hacking…

4.0.1 seems ok, but there is a constant red boarder that appears at random times (too many times in a minute to count)

Bad news rSAP (remote sim access profile) is not supported in those 2 releases. But it worked in all Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread releases.
I hope Samsung will continue to support it in there ICS releases. In fact all Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread ROM from Samsung for Galaxy S GT-i9000 and Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 have this function. But Android AOSP does not support rSAP and it is not possible to simply add it because of the lack of direct APDU exchange with the (u)SIM card in the Android SDK.
rSAP is used to virtually unplug the SIM card from the server (the galaxy S2 phone) and remotely plug it into the rSAP client (in 99% of the cases a car phone system).
I can’t understand why Google did not specified a method for exchanging raw APDU messages with the SIM card, because with this trivial development it will be very easy to add a generic plugin to the bluez bluetooth stack for adding rSAP support to all Android phones.
For doing that Samsung add some funtions in the RIL library neither called from the AOSP RILJ framework. But obviously the samsung RIL library is not open source!!!

http://www.sammobile.com/2011/12/31/exclusive-2-new-android-4-0-1-and-4-0-3-roms/
though i am not satisfied with the ICS on my Galaxy S2… here are my reviews…
it is very unstable Android OS like for examples (w/ s because its to many to mention)
1. then Viber Application wont run.. hangs turn to black screen then the SGS2 starts to vibrate
2. application like GT Racing HD wont function normally example is when driving a car it automatically steers left.. (considering all settings int the game are set according to ur specifications how to drive/race)
3. always hangs on other application then the phone automatically restarts
4. i also experience when i turn off the SGS2, it vibrates contineously so i remove the battery to stop it.
5. certain apps like Offline Dictionary from android market wont function
6. the security lock “Face Detection doesnt function… (thats the special feature of ICS) tsk tsk tsk!!!
7. the manually ***igning of IP Address (static IP) was remove w/c is present on Android 1.3 Gingerbread
this apps i have tried and seen functioning normal on Android 2.3 but very unstable on Android 4.0, plus the OS itself is unstable since its a leak and its a Beta edition…

Thanks so much SamMobile.com – I really appreciated this. Thank you sooo much..
I have done my first “flashing” on my first “Android” (Galaxy S2 I9100)
For those of you who are new to this just like I am, you should factory reset before AND after you have done flashing. And also you should wipe cache as well. To do this, you need to enter recovery mode and this is how you do:
