GB vs ICS - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

anyone notice decreased performance and overall shi&&*y performance after upgarding to ICS? Im running stock ROM, rooted both, and have 2 exact same devices in front of me - one's on GB, 1 on ICS - ICS has no signal, GB has 2 bars...That's just one of many issues....any thoughts?

Flash a custom ROM. I've always said this before ICS came out. I could care less for the stock release, never flashed it, never will. Its all about source and what the devs can do with it. AOKP 7/15 milestone 6 and CM 9 are to very stable ICS ROM's. Add some Darkside to them with his kernel, and you are good to go!!

where do I find those 2 roms?

Flashing Ics roms

Hi guys I'm new to the epic touch and was wondering if it is safe to flash a Ff11 from an already installed ff11 rom and how or is it necessary to restore to gingerbread before flashing the new ff11 rom. Lastly, what is the most stable ICS ROM with everything working? I tried AOKP and it had messed up video recording and bad wake up lag. Thank You

Yes it should be safe but just do yourself a favor and only flash, back, restore, wipe, etc from el26 cwm kernel/recovery. Most stable ICS rom would probably be just a stock leak or maybe calks 1.6 rom. I personally use CM9 and its good.
Thanks I did just that. A question though, why do the rooms have wake up lag... Is there a way to fix this?

Personally I wouldn't take the chance with the emmc bug. It takes like2 minutes longer but I ALWAYS flash back to el26. Just not worth chancing a brick.

All ics roms are still leaks. Some devs have been working on tweaks but no source yet to work from. Soon we hope.
I flash from EL29 there is no difference in flashing from EL26 or EL29. I have been using team venom's roms and they work great and really could be an over the air with absoultly no bugs what so ever. I use my phone fro work all day long 5 days a week and havent had the first minutes trouble.
I have flashed Multiple ROMS, and if your looking for batter life, the any ROM from Mijjz of Team Venum is definitely what you want they are all stabil. I am currently using "Mijjz Blend ICS " No Name" ROM. the Xplod Mini rom runs on a sony based kernel and works well, so if you want a differnt interface its a great choice while still keeping the battery life. Blu Kuban Rom is great if you want a variety of optional tweaks built into the ROM. There is a new Team on here called Team Rejectz they just released a new ROM that looks great, I'll be flashing that this morning, and Give you guys an update on how that turns out. I always flash back to either EL29 or EL26 before flashing a new ICS Rom.

Same here I have been using cm9 as my daily driver for the passed couple weeks and it is rock solid stable! Love ICS I cant imagine going back to Gingerbread after the ICS experience. Its alot faster, way nicer and just overall smashes gingerbread. Lol Not like IOS5-IOS6 where ya get 1 or 2 new features.. Features that Android have had since froyo..lool!

Stock JB VS Custom Rom?

So I just got a G Nexus and im wondering whether I should be using stock JB or one of the custom JB roms. Is there a stable JB rom that is better than stock yet?
AndroidME. Very clean and fast with a good amount of features.

Almost all the custom ROMs are rock solid stable since they work off of the stock codebase to begin with. The very worst that'll happen is that they'll have a feature that doesn't work completely. For example, one of the CM10 kangs has a toggle that crashes when you select it, but it's not in stock so you still get the rest of the features.
Custom ROMs will also have generally better performance and battery life aside from any features they have. AndroidMe, Revolution HD, CM10 kangs, Xenon HD, the list goes on. Try em out!
If you give the devs time, they will add more tweaks,etc into the custom rooms....stuff that is not available on the stock

ROM Assistance

Hello!
It's been quite awhile since I've been on here and got sick of Sony's ICS builds and how awful they are. So last night I unlocked my LT18a's bootloader and and flashed back to 4.1.A.0.562 firmware and rooted my device, I'm running DooMLords ICS Kernel as well.
So now I should be completely ready to flash ROM's, but I would like verify some things first. Since I'm on ICS, can I only installed ROM's based on ICS? Like CM9 etc..
I'm not sure how it works on the Arc S compared to other devices I have used in the past (Atrix, Nexus S etc..)
To the best of my knowledge, as long as your on an ICS kernel, you can flash ICS based roms. CM9 has its own kernel I'm pretty sure you have to use.
Each Rom should indicate what it is compatible with in the thread, but from my adventures, if your on an ICS kernel, you can only flash ICS roms.
as a general rule, keep like with like. GB kernels for GB roms and ICS kernels for ICS roms.
and of course CM kernels with CM roms.
Which Rom were you thinking of flashing?

newer AOKP port for DHD/Inspire??

has anyone or can anyone port a newer version of AOKP for the DHD/Inspire? like milestone 1 or whichever one is newest? I personally only like aokp and not too fond of the aosp or aospx. I flashed Pacman rom but had too many problems with it.
so if anyone can port one it would be GREATLY appreciated.
thanks a lot

You mean AOKP Android 4.2? We've just got an AOSP based 4.2 ROM, so I'd just be paitent for a AOKP based follow up. If not, maybe you can suggest it to synergy or RandomBlame? I believe RandomBlame already has a 4.2 ROM, but it's in its baby stages as of yet.
no a JB version 4.1 im back to running aokp release 7 from the github. but hasnt been a new one since like September.

RandomBlame is on Release 30 now, look for JellyTime in the Development forum
I don't know about 4.2 AOKP, but if it's options you want you could try cfX 4.2.
I tried aosp ROMS and cfx 4.1 but I don't like them as much as AOKP for some reason. Although I have not tried cfx 4.2 yet. Was waiting for Bluetooth to work. Also I've tried jellytime aosp and I always come back to aokp. I ran Icecoldsandwich for the longest time but I want to stay on JB and not ICS. If I actually had the time (kids,work,wife) I would try porting a newer aokp over to dhd/inspire myself but I never have time. Even dropping a deuce is apparently a "team sport" according to my kids. LOL.
bump?
cfX bluetooth works now, if that is what's still preventing you from using it.

The reason is very obvious one
AOSP - clean unbranded stock android
AOKP - unbranded android with cleanly built in to settings menu additional features like CPU OC, status bar tweaks etc.... with everything else as close as possible to AOSP.

Thank God. if I knew how to Port and had the time I would have done it myself. but major thanks go to PipelinerArd for the ROM.

[Q] Project Butter

I'd been using ICS for several months, but a few days ago I decided to try JB (chilly's CM10) to see if it was stable enough. So far so good.
Since we don't have a proper Jelly Bean kernel for the Incredible 2, I'm guessing we don't get Project Butter. Is that right? As far as I can tell, the UI responsiveness in 4.1.2 JB is about the same as 4.0.4 ICS. It's not bad, but I don't really notice an improvement. Am I right about not having Project Butter, or do I have it but not notice it?
My kernel version is 2.6.35.14-ae-15, which I think is an aeroevan Gingerbread kernel.

here is are a few links to 4.2.2 ROM's with the hacked chinese 3.0 kernal. I've been on Evervlov for the past couple weeks and its pretty stable. I just flashed.
DKStunna108 new 10.1 build with the 3.0 kernal
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40236149&postcount=1496
Drews thread for his 4.2.2. Its a modified version of 10.1 with his 3.0 kernal
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044824
You will need to flash gapps from Here
Oh, interesting! I didn't know devs had already started releasing ROMs based on that Chinese kernel. Still, didn't HTC release that kernel for ICS rather than JB, and if so wouldn't that still mean no Project Butter?
I guess what I'm wondering is how much Project Butter depends on having a kernel that's been tuned for Jelly Bean, updated drivers, etc. If the 3.0.16 Chinese kernel allows Project Butter to work, that's pretty cool!
Ugh, OK project butter has nothing to do with the kernel
It comes with jellybean
And that 3.0 kernel both with chilly's roms and ever evervolv is one that preludrew hacked up or ported and its an aosp, no one has built any ROMs with the Chinese kernel yet.
Bry is building a flash able zip with the new kernel as we speak and even then it's just going to
Be the kernel no over clock or fast charge yet
