This one tries to imitate the look ICS if you haven't seen it already in the market:

It has been attempted but the framework is so different that until there are stable ports to different devices it will not work out.
The one in the market to me just isn't good at all. I mean they did good work but just the fact that they insist on having those onscreen buttons there and not make them option is what bugs me the most. The app drawer is going to be a chore to try to even imitate. Like I said they do good work but they don't seem to take user input very seriously.
I feel the same about all android imitated launchers in the market, froyo, GB, ICS ex... But I think Ics is ugly anyways, that's why when it comes out for our phone, I will theme the hell out of it on day #1.

Welcome! I'm using nexusmod ICS and loving it so far. It's been almost one week. Good battery life, very smooth. There are some minor bugs but it has become my daily driver so nothing critical.

Both are working very well. There is a big lag the first time you open the camera, but it doesnt reappear after

They all have call echo and other minor bugs. Great Rom's but I need more stability.

Use the super wipe and then let rom sit for 10 minutes after boot up. And for apps I recommend apex launcher for more of an aosp feel also grab the HD YouTube here on xda just search u will find it
If you want stability and speed, battery that goes, camera, wifi,
goldfinger NexusMod3 and RaverX3X BlackEdition are rock solid... you can flash a modem that you like, just make sure to delete the system folder within the .zip.

Been using ICS perfection for a few weeks now. Haven't noticed any bugs at all besides face unlock not working right, but honestly I've used it on my tablet, it doesn't recognize me half the time and just kinda annoys me in the end. So yeah, ICS perfection makes a wonderful daily driver, just use a Bluetooth headset otherwise the person on the other end will hear themselves echo like crazy
I've tested all, and nexusmod is by far the best one. Android stock keyboard works flawlessly. Apps don't crash, wiimote connects with no issues, battery is pretty good. Feels and looks like aosp. Aosp lock screen...etc. nexusmod will be my rom till a working aosp rom comes out for our phone.

Try Alien ics rom from the skyrocket forums. Pure gold.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Question, what ics radio/modem do I need to install? I read the installation instructions but they never suggest when to flash it. And the skyrocket roms indicate att radios, not Tmobile. That part is what confuses the hell out of me ...

I agree with this 100%..I am on the newest version of nexusmod and it is by far the best ics port out there.for my Telus version S2.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Yes nexusmod is really good and stable. Its the best ics rom I've used so far and I've tested all ics roms. Vibration works perfectly the only downside with most ucld2 leak is the fix permission and reboot shutdown issue, which isn't bad you can just download quick boot from market. Ics perfection was okay but it lacks vibration and notification light up. Sky ics is nit bad either. But I prefer nexusmod

I got it installed on the Leaked 4.0.4 "official" rom, and it will work (somewhat.) It will force close periodically, but here's hoping they integrate it into the final retail ICS update and iron out the bugs.
I'm tired of being on gingerbread but I'm pretty much dome with custom roms. I've seen a lot of people bashing the update so I never touched it but apparently they sent out another update a few weeks ago. Did it make things worse? How is the smoothness and battery life compared to stock gingerbread.

Worked well for me. You can change the launcher to a vanilla ics look if you go to Sprint id

+1 to Kuban if you like extreme customization. It's way over themed for my taste.

I'm a little biased, but I agree. I personally do not care for themed roms. I would prefer to make small changes myself and if I want a little theming, there are a few good launchers out that provide the theming that I need.

Im trying calkulin's 1.6 ics fe22 rom in the original development section. Yes its old. Yes theres recalk. His fe22 and el29 may be old but they are stable and ive not had any snafus yet.
Every time I try ics its still buggy for me. Sometimes the capacitive buttons don't work for a couple seconds, or the weird visual glitch in the task manager. None of it seems worth the hassel. JB is the way to go imo with project butter this thing is bulletproof. Yea they are a bit unstable which I realize I just complained about, but I think jb is worth it because you actually gain something compared to the ics update, where really the only thing you get is access to a couple apps (chrome etc) and instability. It gets rid of all the nice cosmetic changes ics made, and covers them with touchwiz. For the bone stock user, yea the ics update adds functionality (very little) but if you're rooted ics is a waste of time. That and the fact that no one can theme a rom to make this phone not look like a toy anyway.
Could anyone possibly port the tw ics stock lockscreen to gb for me? I know the Galaxy Note used the same lockscreen on gb if that would be of any help. Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I doubt this will come to fruition but I do think that is the best lock screen. I despise the gingerbread one, it's fugly.
