@ZRong, if you can root with doomlord then you can install without touching binary count.

BTW, I think Superatmos posted on xda that he is not working on the I9100G anymore?

Yeah last him he said he was trying to port AOSP (or vanilla ICS) to the I9100G so I hope he continues with it.

@mathanxp, what happen to your phone if you plug it into your PC? Sometimes if the phone cant boot it will go straight into download mode.

Sometimes users here need to realise that they are using a GT-I9100G instead of a GT-I9100. It is like buying a car with 2 different engine. A modification for one of the engine is incompatible with another.

@bobtiang, I think you cant use that as it is designed for the I9100. There is one that is modified for our I9100G called ICS Rebuild but that is an older version which lack some features stated in the thread.

Speaking about themes and launcher, this is the UI of my phone. I am using ICS Rebuild, GOLauncherEX ICS theme and GOLocker ICS theme. Really love the look of ICS and cant wait for the real deal to arrive. Now using replica oni..

This ICS Rebuild is based on an older version of the ICS Domination Theme by Vertumus, not as authentic as the latest versions by Vertumus.

From my limited knowledge about ROMs (I am not a dev), I dont think that is that easy to make the ICS ROM fully functional like using GPS or even Cellular Data. The chipset may be similar but the other parts are quite different. But if you mean just run ICS and don't care about normal usage then it is doable.

Android Device Bridge, but it is quite complicated to use.

Yeah, no point building something that will become obsolete in a month. They said Galaxy S II getting ICS in around March, I assume it includes the I9100G too so it is really coming soon now.

*EDIT: Someone ported the newer release of ICS Domination from the I9100G group in FB. It has nicer looking status bar and more apps are skinned. LINK: ICS Domination v1.9 for ICS

@MEAKU 15, it is said by Samsung that Galaxy S II will get ICS around march to april. I also uploaded some screenshots here.

@KENTK3, it is ported for I9100G original ROM. It will work nicely with any stock ROM IMO.

@Luwk, that is GOLauncherEX and Beautiful Widgets. Can find them on the market. I use ICS GOLauncher EX theme.

@la_Feng, I think we can update through ODIN so the ROM we using is irrevelant. Maybe all our data will we wiped. I not sure how can check the idling apps, maybe someone with more experience can tell you.

Reflash a stock ROM through Odin. The exclamation mark thing means it is in download mode, you just plug it into your PC and download.

Downgrade back to DZKJ2, then use DoomLord, update to DZKL3 using Mobile Odin PRO and tick the "Everoot" option. Your phone will be rooted without binary counter increase.
