the ever so famous ics is out and i see ppl flooding xda,fb abt it. i mean, they are so over excited that once there is a slight problem the start shooting up the threads and post and start flooding everywhere.Geez.

it has been highlighted EXPERIMENTAL like tons of times. bugs definitely will be there, if cant accept that, dont flash first until developers can focus on amending it. so many others hwo are patient will test and update decelopers accordingly.

for those who are too eager and cant WAIT...prepare to have some bugs. but i strongly suggest to wait a couple of days. let the pros test it out.

Rooting for ICS (i9100G), of course update to ICS using odin first.

Method 3 : 1 + 2, no yellowtriangle or binary count increasement

1. Do method 2 first.
2. Download LP7 codeworkx, extract and put the zimage inside root sdcard
3. Install ktool, flash the zimage.
4. Result : rooted + CWM , no usb jig involved, ^___^

i think so far, in less than a day, the battery is very much the same, just make sure u change the governor to hotplug and noop as IO if u are using LP7 kernel

Sorry to ask this.
My S2 (DZKJ2) is rooted with DooMLoRD that posted in page 1.
Today I received a notification about software update.
Can I upgrade the firmware?
If I choose to update, can I unroot back my phone back to original?

well, i guess it's true also, like doing a clean install, to avoid any problem in between.... and when u have time smile.gif

i'm just doing a quick test to see if OTA will wipe out the root access. I'll be going overseas later. Just wanna test it out. .. when i'm back later, i'll do a clean install, since i got the firmware downloaded from sammobile
