My small review on current i9100G setup.

Firmware: Superatmos SuperROM v3.0 - XXLB1
kernel: Base on SuperROM v3.0 kernel
CPU Set: Scaling hotplug 600 MHz ~ 1200 MHz | I/O Scheduler - deadline
Theme: ICS DOMINATION By Vertumus port by tarunagg
Launcher: Go Launcher EX
Launcher Theme: Alefox Ice Cream Sandwich
Launcher Dock & Folder icon: Typo Black
Launcher Indicator: Glasklart

What I did before flash:
  • Titanium Backup all apps.
  • CWM Backup in-case something went wrong.
  • MyBackup Pro for backup data of Call Log, Bookmarks, SMS, MMS, Alarms, Dictionary & Calendar.
  • Backup Go Launcher EX Settings.
  • Full wipe - Format /cache /data /system via CWM.
  • Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache via CWM.
Flashing:
  • Flash Superatmos SuperROM v3.0 ROM.
  • Reboot.
  • Boot back to CWM for flashing ICS DOMINATION By Vertumus port by tarunagg theme.
  • Reboot.
What I did after flash:
  • Titanium Backup Batch restore.
  • Restore Go Launcher EX Settings, re-add all the widgets.
  • Restore MyBackup Pro backup data.
Issue on SuperROM v3.0:
  • As everyone face on Google Play Store where you can't install/updates any apps, it is easier to fix by Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache, but this method does not solved my another issue seems no one ever report before - Google Talk Authentication error. End up I use LCD Density Modder Pro - Fix Market Compatibility Issues by installing the modded Play Store & GSF. GSF need to install after installing the modded Play Store or else all your purchase app will became never purchase before.
Experience on SuperROM v3.0:
  • I find it smooth and no any error encounter beside that Play Store & Google Talk Authentication Issue.
  • Battery is far far saver than stock ROM.
  • The best Camera quality, no more red spot issue.
  • The build.prop tweaks for better quality of pictures and videos really work! as I no longer see any color banding issue especially when pickup wallpaper from Wallpaper gallery! Nice tweak! loving it~!
  • Loving it ability to use ICS DOMINATION By Vertumus port by tarunagg theme.
  • New Call answering way - same as Galaxy W.
Overall, well recommended, I find this the best custom latest ROM so far for i9100G, I also try another ROM but I not so like it. Attached below some screenshot of my current setup.

good post bro. thanks. definitely will try this ROM out.

Welcome, smile.gif remember flashing the correct ICS Theme, or else you will not able to access the phone beside boot back to CWM. I use ADB command adb reboot recovery to boot back as 1st I flash the older version which does not work.

Paired to which kernel? Lucifr 1.4uv or Superatmos 3.0?

I never change any kernel, use back SuperROM v3.0 pre-install one.

Sorry for this lame question.
Will rooting the phone makes the device go to factory default setting or all the applications and setting remain?

Won't, apps and setting still there.

Also, I change I/O Scheduler to deadline (this is default as well), it seems noop got some issue after a while usage.

Noob question..how to update the firmware XXLB1 so i can flash this superrom v3?

Tried to update the firmware thru kies but it says latest update is KL3
*
No need update to LB1, SuperROM v3.0 is base on LB1.

You need to root your phone 1st before can flash this SuperROM.

Remember once flash this custom ROM, it no longer upgradable via Kies unless you restore back stock ROM.

The easier way, flash the superatmos v3.0 kernel, then it will auto install the CWM for you.

why so different from urs?  hmm.gif

noob quest.
if want to remove yellow triangle, flash to stock kernel,
as far as i concern, flashing kernel is not a big deal. am i right?  sweat.gif
rite now i use superatmos kernel, if i flash to stock, my cwm gonna stay rite?
i know its not gonna unroot my SII. just query.  sweat.gif
*
You plan to use SuperROM v3.0 right? then off course use the SuperROMv3 one for that ICS theme.

I not sure CWM will get remove or not after flash back the stock kernel.

Yellow triangle can simply remove by flashing any kernel / ROM using Mobile ODIN Pro, also Mobile ODIN Pro can help you auto ROOT for ROM you flash that don't have root function.

Happily with CyanogenMod 9 - 20120604 Nightly build. biggrin.gif

Everything working perfectly smooth and stable for me. biggrin.gif I didn't face some user report issue at XDA thread or Facebook Group. My vibration is working, backlight can configure properly few second auto off. (I didn't try completely turn it off where user report it will off that two button function as well in latest build). This latest nightly build is 2x smoother compare with stock ICS for me, and extreme stable for daily use.

biggrin.gif Happy with my S2 G now. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

This ROM includes kernel also?
The RAM amount is still the same... Sad.

Extra RAM is required for ICS. Nothing to SAD on that.

QUOTE(EightPhantomz @ Jun 5 2012, 06:17 PM)
Mind sharing the steps. Maybe different from others. wink.gif

Same procedures in 1st page 1st post at XDA codeworkx thread.

The only different is I use Nova Launcher Prime not the CM9 Trebuchet Launcher as Trebuchet not support creating folder at app drawer. This is drawback for me. The Apex Launcher also same.

You need folder in app drawer - only Nova Launcher Prime support on it at the moment.
