anyone else notice how beast this thing is? I uninstalled dolphin. never seen xda scroll so
smooth. not to mention it loads pages almost as quickly as my desktop
ICS in general is smoother than any version of android previoulsy released. Scrolls, transition effects, the launcher, touch screen response, everything.

Yea, ICS is a beast. The browser is apart of it.
anybody compared stock ICS browser with chrome for android? i haven't gotten around to installing cm9 yet to find out myself.
I tried chrome once and it was still buggy but a guy at work is useing it and he swears buy it and claims it is much faster that the stock browser. have not fully side by side tested it my self though
Anyone got the apk to the ICS browser

ICS browser is awesome
chrome is even better however on mine (turl v9 build, tried it too with jokersax 0.2 beta) it crashes when I hit the tab select button so no go for now
mate there is no way to run it without ICS so apk would be pointless

Chrome is much, much faster at rendering than stock. Their engines are similar but stock is considerably more dated. But chrome is still buggy, and with no ident switch its kind of useless.

I cant wait for the chrome browser to be more stable. i am starting to dance just thinking about it
So I've been waiting for the ICS roms to drop and was overjoyed when it finally did. I have the Google I/O 10.1 Tab everyone got last year and loved it a little more because it was not "touchwized".
So I went ahead and downloaded [ROM] P7510XXLPH [17.07.2012][Android 4.0.4][XEU] and installed without a hitch. Everything working beautifully but I quickly realized I was now touchwizzed
Anybody else have the I/O tab used a different rom? Is there another stock rom that I could use?
I had always chosen not to root so I could get the ICS update but since this could be the last official update we get, is a cyanogen rom a better option?
Im very disappointed us io users didnt get a offical update... yet and i doubt we will

Just would have been nice to get a vanilla ICS since it was never a touch wiz device.
I guess the 5,000 is a small minority.
Is there even a vanilla 10.1 rom?
The jb asop and cm10 previews are nice.

CM9 is a pure ICS ROM you can give it a try. The only issue is the non-working front facing camera due to Samsung driver issues. The back camera is working with the latest experimental build at the DROID Basement Web site. It looks and feels great without the bloated Samsung apps and the horrible Touchwiz interface.

I have compared two firmwares of different regions as ICS 4.0.3 and ICS 4.0.4.
I have then found that 4.0.3 has the incredible battery life than ICS 4.0.4.
Except the pinch zoom bug in ICS 4.0.3 everything seems perfect.
I'm using Hydracore Kernel on both Firmwares.
I've decided to stick on 4.0.3.
I get superb batterylife with 4.0.4 XXLRQ + HydraCore 4.3b. The rom is also super smooth. Best experience with note so far.

Gents, battery life is always different for any user on any ROM. Thank You.

Dont know why but Chrome browser on my HD2 seems really slow and laggy, the stock browser is a lot faster and smoother, isnt it suppose to be the other way around? Am I doing something wrong?
Our phone doesn't have the specs to run chrome efficiently.

depends on what rom are you using chrome, try it on tytung latest JB 4.1.2, is realy smooth, but no flash
When my S2 is running on ICS or JB, i'm I'm totally not happy with the touch screen responsiveness. Is there a way to fix this issue? I was so frustrated that i even tried Gingerbread today, and maybe you don't believe it, but with Gingerbread the touch screen responsiveness of my Samsung S2 is fantastic!
I've made 2 movies, to visualize my touch screen responsiveness issue
Gingerbread VS ICS (both are stock roms):

Jelly Bean (I've tried resurrection and revolts rom, and also tried the kernels: siyah, CM10 and dorimanx:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0UP0J0l0wc
Nothing related to development.. Just a general thing which most S2 users knew.. Must have been posted in General section...
It was very annoying at first after updating to ICS/JB roms and is very noticeable once you pick up an iPhone and try scrolling on that. The galaxy nexus had the same delayed scrolling, but when I used my old Galaxy S(1) with CM9 or CM10 that lag was not there and scrolling felt great!
I concur. Screen responsiveness is nowhere near what Gingerbread has.
I noticed this when I (recently) "upgraded" to ICS. Not much of an upgrade if you ask me. Hardware should be as responsive as previous if not better.

Indeed CM7 seems more butter then cm10 even with vsync
Has Samsung acknowledged this problem?
Here the same bro.
For me the best ROMS for GS2 made in 2011 are GB based ROMS.ICS ROMS lag like hell and contacts keep on crashing and freezing TW.
But our ICS fanboys here will not accept these facts and now they are clamoring for JB with it's own set of problems.

It's not a question of responsiveness, I think. More of a question of how scroll works. It's been discussed in many threads at many time. It's not an issue per say... They just chose another direction for scrolling. There are ICS custom kernels which "fix" scrolling. Just look for them.
I believe it is. I have found touch responsiveness to be less with ICS than Gingerbread was. (I still have my Nandroid backup of my Gingerbread FW).
With Gingerbread, I touched the screen and response was (comparatively) instant. With ICS, I wait or re touch the screen for the response back. Keyboard seems the only thing that is responsive. (Although, a few times I even questioned it).

I truly am looking forward to a fully functional JB rom. Just for that responsiveness.

Funny how some of us don't seem to have issues with screen responsiveness. There's the infamous screen responsiveness delay issue, but there's been fixes for this already. I guess that's the price you pay for running full stock.

For me, system responsiveness is better in ICS than GB. However, the web browser just scrolls differently in ICS. However, your second video is inaccurate. You claim that both phones are running Dolphin browser. The SGS2 you used is actually running Chrome. Chrome has issues on our SGS2.

For you, possibly. For me though, I noticed that there were less hiccups when scrolling through menus (like settings) or homescreens (Touchwiz or Go Launcher). TW's homescreen was noticeably smoother on ICS. On 2.3.4, that was the first thing I complained about (TW homescreen hiccups).
Yesterday my girlfriend buy an sgs2, WTF !!!
It really lag so much, scrolling, menu.... have the 4.0.4 stock inside with no official update available.
She don't want flash modded rom for warranty reason (and hard brick in some case I've read).... She can't do anything to improve the smoothness ??!!!
Very very bad !

Hmm, i think you're right.
If you want i can make a new movie with JB and browsing with the Dolphin browser .
hmhmhm.
if you are on cm10 based ROM (maybe previous versions also,cant tell) theres settings->advanced (takes u to specific handset options)->Touch sensitivity
I dident touch it as i dont really feel the problem but it may help some of you to try it i quess
