Like many of you, I'm sure, I jump around XDA and browse different forums for anything interesting. This particular one... put a smile on my face. Happy to start seeing some public releases on this.

i already have CM9 installed on my old I9000
is fun to play around with, but not ready for prime time, because a lot of the Android Market apps that i use on a daily basis are not compatible yet with ICS
so it's going to be a long painful wait before being able to enjoy ICS fully, even if it becomes available for our T989

i agree. prolly best to just get a new ICS device if you want that. but.. it's still good to see the evolution of software.

eehhhhhh... what does that has to do with getting a new hardware?
the current hardware are perfectly fine, just the programmers needs to get their things together and make sure their software are ICS compatible
There's quite a few devices with cm9 alphas already. We wont be waiting to long to see it on our phone.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Even the g2x has a alpha version of cm9 working since Thanksgiving night so I'm sure this phone will have it soon. Also this is my first Samsung smartphone I am hoping Samsung does a little better than LG when it comes to updates and support for their phone. The g2x was a nightmare thank God I had one of the few g2x's that did not have all the bugs.

I thought it was common knowledge that CM9 was being developed. No?
This thread is a fail. What does Nexus S development have anything to do with the GS2 ICS rom? They are entirely different chipsets.

like allgamer said until apps become more compatible gingerbread is probably better for everyday use right now. I don't really see the big deal and rush in getting ICS.

Thanks. Added to my feed for updates.
It would be cool if/when it becomes possible for our phones to multi-boot or at least a savvy developer creates a VMWare-esque app or any other way for any other way for us to use multiple ROMs simultaneously without the need to backup, wipe, flash, repeat for each different ROM we wanna try. For example, this would be useful for us to try out a ROM that's not daily driver-ready without wiping our daily driver. Just a thought...

I currently have the Nexus-S 4G, running Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 and LOVE this ROM. but want a bigger screen phone, so looking at the Epic Touch 4G. I tried the ICS ROM for my Nexus-S that just released this weekend, and I liked it alot, so it got me wondering, before I get the Epic 4G, will wait for a god ICS ROM.
How long until a stable version is out roughly ? I don't mean 100% rock solid perfect like the official Galaxy-Nexus, but something good enough to be used as a daily. December or so ?
It's anybodys guess.. We are all wondering the same thing but obviously no one knows.. Even the developers that are working on a port don't know. There is no use asking.. people are working on this as a hobby and Samsung doesn't even have a firm date on an ETA. Your best bet is to keep tabs on ICS progress in our development section..
One thing.if phone has good hardware,it will run ics.even htc hero,wich is a low-end device runs it already.so for your phone,its just a matter of time.and one more thing,dont ever ask devs for ETA's.they are not full time developers,this is mor like a hobby for them
forget asking when an ICS rom will be available, I'm more concerned with finding out when the MR from Sprint is coming.

The source that Google releases is always for the current dev phone, in this case the galaxy nexus. Our phone has completely different hardware. Porting ics to the epic touch from scratch is a full time job that carries a salary of 50,000-100,000, I wouldn't hold your breath for someone to do it for free. So in other words, whenever Sprint/Samsung releases/leaks something for the epic touch

I use to post and utilize this forum when I had a Vibrant. I love my SII. In fact, I love it so much that, although I bought it the day it came out, I have waited until now to finally root it.
I'm so out of the loop. Are the ICS roms ready to go as daily drivers or should I wait until T-Mo drops theirs? If it's all G2G, then what are your opinions on what's best?
If you feel that Ginger is better as a daily, which is good to jump into?
Keep in mind that I am not looking for super powers and problems. I just want a good daily driver. I like being able to back **** up and use some of the features available to rooted devices, drop bloat, and theme a bit.
I'll run a log of my experiences and try to find issues, if necessary, so that this thread can appropriately stay in this section. If that still is considered a rule breaker, then I politely ask the MODs to move it to the best section.
Thanks in advance.

Digital warfare 2.5.1 is the most stable and best battery life of any rom here
Not sure if you read the end of my post but if you had, it makes your reply pointless, with all due respect. Thanks though.

Whether you run a log of issues or not, the topic has no bearing on development.
I can tell you from experience that the ICS Perfection is a pretty stable build. I have been running it for a week without much of a hicup. Obviously the gingerbread ROMs are more stable then the ICS ones. I used the CM7 build as a daily driver before ICS and lived it. Since I went to ICS, Eugene has started work on fixing some of the bugs on his version of CM7. Best thing to do is test them out and see what one is your style.

Are you using 4.1 with your GN? I had a GN and it was painfully slow (stuttering, lag, etc.) so I went back to my GS III. I'm planning on getting the S III next week but also thought about getting the GN since it will have 4.1 and Project Butter.

If you have the t mobile version you're in luck for romanb and another member got the t mobile sgs3 (source is twitter) so maybe an AOKP ics rom or they'll wait it out till jelly bean comes out and either way after that the other variants should get there aokp hopefully with no problem

+1 for this, sprint understands its consumers and knows updates just scare and confuse us... its like unlimited data with them, they call it unlimited because if you,like me, live in a market without 4g it would take several months if not years to use 5gigs of data with their current 3g "speeds"... sprint is the best!

If you're waiting for a total bug-free release then you'll be waiting until the end of time. They will release it when they are ready and, steady yourselves, it will probably have a few remaining, minor issues which they will attempt to fix with a patch.
Seriously it makes me chuckle to see people rubbing their palms together waiting for the perfect, bug-free release of any software.
Here's hoping it comes out soon - but based on the release date and usual one month delay we're still about 1-2 weeks away if they use FF18 as the OTA.

Once ICS source is released JB will be pretty easy to port to the et4g especially once JB source is out, they run pretty much the same kernel only major changes were to framework and resources and some lib and bin files, nothing to the extreme like going from GB to ICS
Edit: by JB source I mean rom source from Google not kernel source, just thought I should clarify that after re-reading what I said

Really? Are you using the most recent OFFICIAL release of miui?
Wait.. if u have an lte gnex, this could be your issue since the sprint and verison versions get 3rd party ports of the i9250 version.
Anyways, I use miui and, while there is some interface lag compared with aosp, its still a great ROM. Aosp is hideous IMHO, especially since 4.2 came out.
Miui is very nice, even the stock icons look better than aosp.

Yeah sure, just because somebody likes the graphic interface it means automatically he/she should get an icrap with all its disadvantages and ....wait pay at least twice as much for them. Brilliant!

Noup. Im using the OFFICIAL for Gnex MAGURO, build by Xiaomi (The one found HERE). Im flashing 3.1.11, which is the latest according to that site. Using TWRP to flash. Might been a bad download, if you insist that its working fine for you, but i did a little research, and some people were complaining about the same bug, so i thought that it was the rom, not me.
EDIT: Just checked, and i highly doubt its a bad download because MD5 matchs with the one posted on the site.

Its AOSP, and it means Android Open Source Project, in other words, stock Android, how Google thinks Android should be done.

Ok, got MIUI to work. Seems like its not a good idea to flash the ROM and GAPPs on the same go. I had to flash rom, boot the phone, set it up, go to recovery again, and flash gapps, after that, everything seems to be working fine. Even the browser. Seems like that was the key.
