Galnet MIUI ICS 1.11.9 -> 2.11.26

New development by Galnet for I9100. Please note: This is NOT ICS porting , just ICS framework. All apk in it are NOT from ICS release.. only framework!
Loaded and will report how it tests. Installed without any issues at all, using CWM with full wipe coming from AndroidMIUI 1.11.4.
Areas of concern:
1. No service bug - changelog suggest it is resolved.
2. Battery life.
(not reporting problems, just stating what will be tested).
I started this thread as I have seen it on the AT&T forum, but actually it can be installed on the SGS2 I9100 and I did not see any thread about it on the SGS2 section.
Many thanks for the developers. Really appreciate their work, and I hope I do not violate any 'rules' publishing the link ..
Edit: 15 hours with original Kernel -
1. Battery life: Decent 4%/hr in moderate usage without Juice defender. 1% loss over night with phone idle.
2. BT - Nothing wrong with it. Paired few headsets, and a car BT easily, and steady. See edit 2 for a potential bug with non original kernel.
3. Reception - better than ever. with KI4 modem calls are clear (better than before) , Wi-Fi sensitivity is greater.
4. See edit 2
5. Browser: Works great with Opera mobile. Never liked any other one.
6. themes, skins, wallpaper: Supports all on-line (downloadable) ones from MIUI.
7. Update (KIES like) - works.
8. Undervoltage/overclock (setCPU) - not supported by original Kernel - untested.
9. Siyah 2.1.1 testing - What for ? happy with original.
Edit 2:
BUG REPORT:
1. Siyah kernel ver 2.2 works great with 1.11.9
2. Have some sleep of death issues with 2.11.26 combined with Siyah kernel 2.2 and setCPU . No UV involved to make it happen. Back to 1.11.9
2. Rebooting into recovery with charger connected (not PC) will guaranty NO SERVICE coming back (at least on my device).

This ROM is build on the ICS framework but the user interface is MI
so it looks like any other MIUI ROM.

what kernal are you using for this. I am currently using the cognition mod v1.5.1 with ninphetamine 2.1.3. wondering what i need to change before i flash to this and is there any bugs.

working like a charm! coming from miui 1.11.4, without wipe. Only cache and dalvik wiped.. TY!

How this be running ICS when we can't even get a stock ICS for the S2?

As the 3rd post states, it uses the ics framework. It is not a full ics rom.

Its a MIUI ROM, not AOSP or Samsung, so either you keep the original kernel that comes with the ROM (what i am doing right now), or you go with the few CM7 supported ones, like Siyah 2.1.1 or similiar. The ROM you are on right now is not MIUI, which is a complete different animal. Please read about it, before you jump into it. Some are going to hate the MIUI approach, looks and feel, but i am personally in love with their development, and world wide support .. They simply took Google's android and open source one step further (just my humble opinion) and came out with a ~100Mbyte image that has EVERYTHING ones needs in a OS.. and more..

1.11.7 + Siyah Kernel v2.2beta4
Everything's pretty smooth. Even the battery life seems decent for now. Testing needed, of course.

Can anyone link an RTL fix for this one please

GREAT ROM , but it did not support ARABiC RTL

I have a question. I really want to put this on my phone. I currently have Lightning rom and ninphetmine kernel on here. How do I install the rom? Donwload it onto SD. Do a nandroid backup and titanium backup? What do I wipe? Thanks!

For the people testing it, please let us know if the battery life is improved and if the headphone volume bug is gone.
Also can I just flash this over my own version of MIUI without wipe?
Thanks.

sorry I am just confused but from what i understand is that this rom comes with its own kernel and if i flash it onto my phone it will replace my current kernel and rom right.

i noticed that the new gallery is bugged. You can not scroll to the right side...
The gallery which is on your first homescreen works perfectly

Correct.

The battery life is ok at 50% with 2 hrs display time and 1 hour of calling, half an hour of music and radio.
Headphone volume was never a problem, I use the audioboostsgs2 app which kinda gives me decent performance.

Greeting to all of you for creating a wonderful community!!

Hi guys,
I been a silent follower to this forum and respect all the great works done by all the devs, mods & members. I am certainly new to this forum but not in forum world.
I must say i am new to Android phones but not to Androids as i have few tablets for last few years. Its been fun flashing, rooting & using multiple custom roms in my Tegra2 Tablet and so Android does fascinate me like you guys.
Apart from my Iphone recently i got another phone, it's Dell XCD35 / ZTE Blade Gen2. I know ZTE Blade has a great community with tons of customized roms.
Being new to this forum i guess it is taking some time for me read so many thread and try understand different roms available.
Can anyone suggest me any rom where i can get stable performance, good battery life, fluid animation, overclocking & other features.
I am aware of Apha ICS rom and being not so stable & many apps doesn't work smoothly its not my choice right now.
Appreciated for all comments & your valuable time.

I would go for the LG Mode ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442517
It's got pretty good performance, nice animations, and on top of that; it looks wonderful!
Overclocking is possible, and with my Blade running at 729 Mhz and the governor set to "Lag-free", it's even smoother to run. Would definitely recommend that ROM. It's also got a built-in root explorer, and a smooth theme changer app, and a seriously good battery life!

Yeah, about that, how do you utilize that? I mean, what can you do with that, and what advantages does that give you?

Thanks amelo007 for the suggestion mate and will defiantly look for it. First impression: the rom looks very neat.
Any more suggestion guys?

The LEWA OS is a pretty sweet ROM as well. It's got a cool different interface in the phone settings, and not to mention the homescreen and app-drawer.
The only thing that I find to be a bit silly, is the fact that this ROM is actually Chinese, so there are a few translation mistakes, but other than that, it's damn sweet.
It's kinda quick too! It also has the ability to overclock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428831

i use cm 7.1 n257 for daily use and its awesome and performance wise the best.
use it if u play games and need performance.
lewa os is good and is updated every friday via ota updates but only has 2 languages with some errors in english translation.
if u want to try ics try alpha 5 fix 2 almost evrything is working and its damn good (its my second rom)
u can even try fish and chips its a light and very fast rom if u want a light rom with very smooth scrolling

it just reduces the power supply a bit to wifi and cpu there is no significant reduction in usage but the battery increases.

[Flashable add-on][7310][ICS][v0.3.0]HoneyFeats For ICS[CWM]

Hello there!
I have another goodie from the Honey Series for our Tabs! While the previous one was a HC rom, now we are heading towards Ice Cream Sandwich! I have created a CWM Flashable Add-on. This addon was firstly something created to simply add eye candy to ICS. But I felt that was not enough. Smoothness is another very important part. This is my changelog:
Added Asus Transformer Icons for Back, Home and Recent apps
Added advanced toggles for WiFi, BT and other stuff to the notification bar just like in CyanogenMod.
Added a smoother Launcher2.apk ported from Motorola Xoom
SystemUI.apk is also new. A bit smoother, I would say
New cool walpapers!
Build.prop tweaks removed from Galaxian Soup ROM are back! Together with a couple of new ones and some sorted out thanks to motley.
In the next versions, I am planning to add some better wallpapers, work on speed even more to push ICS to its very best.
THE DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST
Gapps
As I have said in the Galaxian-soup forum, there will be new gapps incoming. I should post this in their, but you'll see it there when nycbjr accepts them. For those who can't wait, the download like is down there! These gapps add the ICS Voice search and give you the newest versions of apps availiable.
I will be updating this post every day, and so will I my builds, so you will get all sorts of stuff daily.
Compatibility: This was tested on Galaxian-Soup v0.9 and 1.5, but I feel any Galaxian soup rom should be fine. I think that it should work with CM9 too, but no guarantee. Just dont flash it into HC
Gapps Download Link:

ADDON DOWNLOAD LINK
https://rapidshare.com/files/2653944232/HoneyFeats_0.2.2.zip However it may say that it is 0.2, it is 0.3!
Take Care,
Tom

thanks mate. will flash this over my CM9 install and see how it runs! will report back!

How is it going? Pseudoheld, since you are in Europe, you'll be getting this as a Monday morning surprise! That's the release time.

hey man really can't wait to try it!!

Uploading....

Download links posted!

Just reflased gsoup and starting from scratch to get the best results
Ill report back
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk

flashed it on top of CM9. worked fine so far.
ran a benchmark (antutu) at 1,5ghz before and after flash, and lost some points in just about every aspect. ( i know its not very representative but anyhow here goes)
before 6239
after 6139

I'll do that. Tell me how it goes.

Some Update! I managed to replace walllpapers, so you will have new wallpapers in the wallpapers folder. Tested and ported some from HTC Jetstream and we will see what more can I get! Also, I have added a custom Launcher Made by me. Even smoother!

Yea. It is because of some build.prop tweaks we have cancelle in galaxian soup. I put them back. They will put down your Benchmark score, because they keep the launcher i the memory. One of the wars to make the launcher more responsive. I have a new version with new cool wallpapers and more build.prop tweaks which should put your score back up. And also, remember that those little point differences are pretty much random.

Update Posted. Performance improved.

Yes. Fixed now. I added a note there. Sorry if it says 0.2. It says 0.2.2. Officially its 0.3, but I call it 0.2.2, because 0.3 is my other text version so i dont confuse myself
Pseudoheld, After the performance Improvement, I got 6690 on AnTuTu. Pretty big leap. I put governor performance 1500mhz.

Thanks for your great work, but please use another hoster. Rapidshare is so slow...

[ROM] AOKP-4.2.1r1 & CM10.1 (WIP) 1/10/2013- "Alpha-ish"

Ok- here is an update for both roms. THey are both WAAAY better, and most things are working.
Things which now work(both builds):
-HW ACCEL
-Audio, permanent mic fix
-bluetooth
-wifi
-most games, apps that work on 4.1.2
-overclocking, to 1.2
-all android 4.2 features now work after gapps install, but swype keyboard is still a little funny
*******things which dont work:
-screen wake up issue is no problem with new kernel, but with this 2.6.39 it just wont go away!
-still need to figure out a symlink for large obb files, etc. so there will never be a need to change CWM recovery/partitions for this android version
-I added the SIO scheduler and set it as default, works very well, but you cannot change it under >settings>performance, it is not implemented in CM yet, just use no frills app for now
-I also added lulzactive governor, it does work, i dunno how good it is.
******* I do not consider these roms daily driveable on this kernel until I figure out this wake up issue and symlinks, Ill do that last one once i figure out the first.
___________________________________________________________________________
-to get developer options and performance settings to show up, you have to go to >settings>about tablet> "build number", and hit that tab 7 times, it will count you down the last three, and then the two options will now be there under settings again for "developer options" and "performance."
____________________________________________________________________________
******-AOKP*******, all the features are there and working, nice and smooth, gapps drags it down a little but its good enough to see if you even like 4.2, im still on the fence here.
http://d-h.st/3ZT
*****-CM10.1-***** they now have "expanded desktop" ported from PA, so I can finally use CM for nba Jam, woohoo!!, I added in this option, to turn it on go into settings>system>power menu>and check "expanded desktop"
-I put back the old zram setup, you can now turn it on in settings>performance>memory management
-you can also add buttons to the navbar, so far only "search" and "menu"
-this one is better than AOKP, but GAPPS slow it down a little too, prolly need to slim those down some, but many are now required for everything to work right, I dont like this...it is what is is I guess, but its google being more like apple.
http://d-h.st/n9F

__________________________________________________________________________
350meg partition, NO EXCUSES! both internal and external storage register as an SDCARD, while sdcard is emulated in the /data partition, I hope you are already 4gig, or you run out of room real quick. Of course, the partition table may need to be reconfigured, but my current goal is to symlink /android/data to the "original" internal storage,so the partitions dont need to be fooled with. any input or ideas are welcomed.
____________________________________________________________________________
Super huge thanks for BORKATA and TEAMDRH, as well as AOKP, and CM guys!!!!!!
cant do any of it without there contributions......go thank them.

Happy new year
You can count on me

Impressive you got this booting! I'll keep my eyes on this for sure

ok, im running a fresh build now. Some more issues I have found are that no live wallpapers seem to work, and there are no statusbar toggles. THis thing seems like quite a mess, but im pushing through it.
The screen wakup thing annoys the hell out of me, it doesnt happen with the new kernel, and with the old one all the logcat shows is that the screen is now active, cannot find what triggers it. I also still dont know what to do about storage. I think i might look into swapping the /data and /internal_sd which would give a little over 11 gigs, plus 2 or 4 for storage. It is hard to figure out how to do this with the new emulated file structure for multi-user. I think that user "0" would end up having access, but users "1" or "2" etc. would not. I just dont quite know how to accomplish this, and I want to avoid partition changes, so people can switch back and forth to older roms.

cm 10.1 link added to OP. MUCH BETTER.....still a LOT to do.

I can't wait. I should see my dock any day. I don't have any juice or way to charge it till then... I miss my gtab

whoa!!!
Gtab is getting more awesome. Cant wait to get my hands on a rom running kernel3.1. waiting for Fosser. U devs are doing great job . efforts appreciated . this so fast though using it without the gapps. Will load gapps and report back on responsiveness . But as of now awesome is the word
EDIT------(after 4hrs of using rom ) for work in progress Rom i can give this Rom a safe 85%. After installing the Gapps the rom become little less snappy /Responsive just like you mentioned. And The screen flash issue at look screen wont just go away. B/w is this wake screen flashes Rom dependent because am just coming from latest smoother Bean to this Rom and i dont seem to be having this lock screen Issue. Yet to load any files to see responsiveness with it too but will report back when i do
Edit------- This a great Release but sad i have to got back to smoother bean for two reasons .1) the screen lock issue it a big deal cos the battery just get drained before u know it (though u made mention of it ) 2) just a thought this the 1st time am using a rom on my Gtab that is 160dpi and to be frank i love the way it looks . Would be glad if we could have it on your rom too. Apart from these and proper mounting of SD and other things you am good with it so far. You doing a great Job and is highly appreciated knowing someone is already working on 4.2.1 and i must add it UI looks Good.

Yeah...its not perfect, some of it I need to fix, and some of it the CM and AOKP guys are fixing it right now. I ran builds last night, with updates from both...I hope to post links later, but I need to test them myself to see whats better.....or worse. The wakeup issue, is only this rom......it was an official bug from google, but it was fixed by them too. I am still on it.....i appreciate all testers who can bring the issues to the forefront so they can be fixed.
My main goal here is that when key lime pie (or whatever "k" they use) comes, we'll be that much closer to booting it. Im still on the fence here with the always phablet mode of this 4.2.1, but you never know whats next, and the transtion will be smoother if we are already on the latest.
Once you guys see "beta" in the title, then my credibility can sink or swim with the functionality of the rom.
until then...test away, and please keep me informed of what you find...THANKS!!!

yea will keep doing that and thatz for being on it

Some help needed :/ Anyone ?

So I recently brought up a old nexus 4, the only problem in it is that it has some digitizer issues because of which the below 55px are dead that is the nav keys are dead.
.
So there are many alternatives for it like Pie controls but the one I liked The most is Mipop(you can google it up)
.
So the problem is that it is a MiUi Rom feature, is there any way I can use it up on other roms
Any help?
Also as I am new can someone suggest me some light roms and a Good Kernel for better BATTERY LIFE.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks

MiPop for Nexus 4. Just install the apk. Your welcome
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/space-screen-mipop-navigation-t2467965
As for your second question: it is common knowledge that a kernel, a rom, a theme doesnt affect your batterie life much. Of course if you overclock your CPU/GPU it will drain your batterie much more than stock frequencies. It is your usage bahavior, your apps running in the background, your widget that needs hourly updates, your signal strengths...
But I can recommend you matr1x kernel though. I have tested many, many kernels and I am most satisfied with this one. It has not too much features, but also you dont need them. Try it out
And maybe you should do a factory reset. Your problem may be solved then

I am sorry, I should have tested it before posting it to you. My bad. Why dont you use something like PIE control? I know, you dont like it, but there isnt much alternative for you.
And what about this one? Try this out and report back.
