Yum, just upgraded to ICS (finally) with Wanamlite. Yeah, I know it's just a deodexed (and lightened) Sammy leaked ICS XWLPF, but hell it's been fast and stable so far with Apex. IMHO a much better transition from VR3 compared if I went AOSP or AOKP.

Modded and loaded it up with all mods I NEED as per my old faithful VillanRom 3.0 (skinned SystemUI, Kavi's mods, more freezing and uninstalling of stuff), and now it's back to being the reliable SGS2 I know and love.

Except it's so much smoother and faster now with hardware acceleration it's not even funny anymore. I even managed to hack the Beats Audio drivers in lol.

Yay to the TouchJizz framework.

Well, stuff's been hell stable so far. So much so that I think going to an S3 JUST for the DAC, HD Screen and Camera might not be worth the money.

At least not yet.

for G version, ur phone RAM will become 600mb++ only instead of 800mb++. Think twice if you want to upgrade for G version
*
upgrade to ICS:
- smooth usage
- no camera hang
- latest android 4.0

stay with GB:
- placebo effect of seeing 900MB ram

your choice... tongue.gif tongue.gif

depends on users usage. for non-G users, definitely upgrade to ICS coz got no issue regarding the RAM.
*
What issue with the RAM? Just because it shows 600/700MB? If the phone is smooth and fast, even if it shows only 300MB, won't you upgrade? As you said, depend on user usage, and for G/non-G, it's definitely a step up in terms of usage.. show me 1000MB also useless if phone occasionally hangs..

edit: also, the total ram can change depends on the ROM/kernel you flashed..

Yes, sometimes sluggish, hence I tend to prefer using the vertical scroller in app drawer.

One question. Why does Nova Launcher ask for root?
*
actually to use/show widgets in app drawer.. as I don't use this feature, I never allow root access for nova/apex..

This is purely my preference:

- for facebooking = Friendcaster
- for image viewer = QuickPic (much faster and leaner than default Gallery)
- messaging = WhatsApp Messenger
- launcher = Apex Launcher (replace touchwiz launcher)
- video player = MX Player
- file explorer = ES File Explorer (can also backup downloaded apps to sdcard)
- youtube replacement = TubeMate (can download youtube videos)

and many many more... rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

Guys, wanna ask can S2 camera take photo while taking a video at the same time?

This is a ICS function or is a HTC function (phone-specific) ?
*
Either cannot, or I cannot find anyway to make it happen.. and it's phone-specific I think.. SGS3 also can do it..

If xda people can really port the workings to SGS2.. lagi cun... tongue.gif

I mean its wont lag if I throw few series of 720p HK drama inside while I accessing files in the sd or watching the drama?
*
even my class 4 32GB can play 720p or 1080p videos smoothly..

never tried doing other things while watching videos.. so not sure, but my class 4 might not handle it well since the random access not too good..

but class 10 (which I think the SDXC 64GB is rated at) should be able to handle it.. blush.gif

IIRC, sleep of death is related to XWLP9, not DXLP9..
