Sup guys, long time no see. biggrin.gif

Just flashed ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ last night.
What I can say about this firmware is it is extremely hideous.
The scrolling is terrible, touch responsiveness is awful.
UI transitions isn't as smooth as in Gingerbread and the UI (TW) hasn't changed much so you can't really tell it's ICS until you head to the settings.

The Face Unlock is working fine though.
Tested for like 7 hours, no crash whatsoever, just the UI is bothering me.

Oh and some say restart(s) will fix the touch responsiveness issue, tried, doesn't improve. sad.gif

Agreed, the scrolling was not that smooth..
I guess I wanna flash back to GB.

I'll keep using this until newer versions of ICS firmware rolls out. Then I'll upgrade.

does noone else have problem with double sms sending when using go sms/hancent on latest ics?

Some people at XDA says so but I tested mine, no double SMS sent. (On XXLPQ)

QUOTE(Positron @ Mar 14 2012, 12:33 PM)
Yeah, mine too doesn't blink, first I thought it was not charging, omg why ICS like that?

Same here, I just keep an eye on the battery. doh.gif
Walao eh is this really the final build of ICS for S2? Still looks like in beta or alpha stage by looking at the firmware. doh.gif

Use Apex or Nova launcher instead of TW and you'll get much better UI transitions. And it will look and feel like AOSP ICS.  :-)

Mine using stock SMS app. No problem in LPQ
*
I tried Apex, it has a sense of originality there,not bad, but touch responsiveness still not good, although UI transition improved. flex.gif

ics is using the new style of scrolling. the inertia has been reduced. i you ever tried the leaked ics, it's even worst tongue.gif
only got charging sign
*
Yea, but I'm too used to GB's scrolling with like 10 tonnes of force per swipe tongue.gif
It's good that they reduced the 'inertia' but the scrolling transition itself isn't smooth, it stutters. ohmy.gif

Unmount SD card then only restore.

I transferred the Titanium Backup folder from my SD card to internal storage since there's problem restoring via the card, so I transfered all to internal storage, could that be the problem? hmm.gif

How come need to take out SD card first one?

My TB backups are on my external SD card, should I move em to internal? Is it like an ICS thing? o.o

Did not work for me when external was inserted and worked when I removed it.
So yeah, maybe you should remove it too, oh and move the files into your internal first. icon_rolleyes.gif
