Samsung promised it would update its highly-acclaimed Galaxy S II units to Ice Cream Sandwich operating system sometime in March. However, until then, owners can play with some of the unofficial Android 4.0 builds that are now available online.
The folks over at XDA Developers are doing a great job delivering customized Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs for a wide range of handsets.
This time it was SamMobile that managed to bring another unofficial Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for Samsung Galaxy S II.
According to them, the new alpha/beta build is more stable than other versions. In addition, the guys over at SamMobile claim that this ROM is ready for daily use, unlike the previous LP6 build. Some of the positive changes included in this build are detailed below:
- Interface: Kind of 3D effect when scrolling;
- Battery: Lots better than early ones;
- Faster: Feels the same as LP6;
- Touch: Same as LP6;
- Overall: Better score in our eyes than LP6;
- Facelock: Same as LP6 working fine;
- Task: Same as version LP6.
Samsung Galaxy S II owners who already flashed this Ice Cream Sandwich ROM based on Android 4.0.3 report that TouchWiz user interface is still there, which might be annoying for some users.
Although this alpha/beta ROM features a stock launcher with less functionality, there’s always the option to install a better looking one.
Aside from that it appears that the unofficial ROM is stable and everything is working fine with a minor exception: the update notification keeps hanging around on top of the display.
Keep in mind that this ROM requires users to do a hard reset and set their APN in order to be able to use data connection (2G or 3G). Users will have to add the APN settings manually.
