Galaxy SII on Vodafone - now on ICS
« on: 03 July 2012, 16:52 »
I'm sure the nippers among you will be full of how I'm so last week, but I checked for OS upgrades on my SII and I can now confirm it's running on Ice Cream Sandwich and very fine it appears too.

Now, hurry up with the Jelly Bean update, tax dodgers!  :grin:

So, everyone else with an SII - have you upgraded?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

No ICS for my Legend, not even from the ROM makers of Cyanogen  :sad:

EDIT: A really sh!t consolation is that there is a newer version of Cyanogen 7.2.0 STABLE that was released a few weeks ago.
EDIT2: Looks like someone else has ported CM9 - which is ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562595  :cool:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

CM9 is out for quite a few phones, Steve check if you phone is listed http://get.cm/ if you want now rather than later.

I've installed an unofficial port of CM9 it's still a beta, but very stable in the hour I've been using it and very fast/smooth.

Do you have to root?
Is the Rom as standard or modded?

I tried to root mine a while ago and couldn't make sense on how to do it. Much easier on HTC's

yeah, you'll need to have root. It's a CM rom so comes with their own apps and some customization. One thing that does annoy me is you can't put custom shortcuts on the homescreens, I had all my music playlists on a few homescreens so I could easily choose what to listen to in the car.
