very nice review mate. i too am eagerly waiting a stable working cm9 for my blade. do keep us updated with the beta reviews and experience.

sure :smile:

I moved from MIUI to CM and battery life is just superb.

i have used MIUI themed rom. many apps were ported. rom felt bloated :?

Has any1 installed ICS on GALAXY S2? any bugs?? i also want to try ICS on my S2 but afraid of bugs. :p

someone here installed and later complained about IMEI no getting messed up with some generic one.

so this is not pure CM mod ROM but just the port ..:(
Any idea when CM9 is coming out ?

Later this month as most supported mobiles are working fine with CM9.

To developers over XDA are trying hard to port that for our phone too.

i don't think port is the right word to describe it. DEVs compied it from sources. not making a ZTE Blade rom work on Optimus One. so this shouldn't be called a port? :?

Great preview Sam! :D
Although I would love to know more about the Data Usage app once it starts working with the final release!

yesterday flashed a new update but it looks more like a maintenance release as things that previously didn't work are still the same. this data usage graph still shows 0 amount used.

impressive !!!

i wonder if the back camera can be used for the same :wink:
if nothing else i can brag that i own a better mobile than my friends :-D

Great Review ! Thanks for updating us on this. Good to hear on smooth browsing and nice battery backup. If your model supported camera, you would have said about face unlock. Thanks again !!:smile:

I was on CM9 for a long time on GS2,but switched today to the latesr Samsung leak(just like CM9,it is beta)
The latest leak is pretty stable,no FC till now;1080p youtube video runs perfect.
Wifi not dropping,pretty good 3g signal(had to add apn manually)
can switch between 3g and 2g.
Sygic working fine(absolute must for me)
FM working;have not tested the camera.

Not working for me-the inbuilt default mail client is not giving push notification.

So far best leak,pretty much stable for daily use.
Will tweak the voltage setting now and try to get Siyah woeking with it.

Overall satisfied;much more functional than the beta CM9 with a decent launcher than Apex.

Go ahead try it!!
Highly Recommended!!

Samsung beaten Cyanogen team in update. EPIC WIN :grin:

Actually this was expected as Steve now works for Samsung.

PS: LG too need to hire some experienced DEV. Koushik maybe.

face unlock option should be part of lockscreen right? lockscreen tab is just there as reserve. inside there is nothing :p

yup. in ICS update for S2. as Cyanogen as well as Samsung, both are in development stage but a new update was released today for S2.

Actually there should not be any rivalry between them.

Both have their share of flaws.
Samsung has to stick to their TW,
Cyanogen will never be able to take the full advantage of HW.

Personally I prefer Sammy ROMs over CM.

It looks like a teaser trailer for all those who still use stock ROM! :D But nice efforts Sammy!

Btw, the search bar on every page is a big let down in CM9, since I don't feel the need of having it on even a SINGLE screen. Reason? Since O1 has a dedicated button to search! It's not available in higher ends phones such as Neo V! :D

What teaser trailer,it is far better than CM9 as of now.
Using it since morning...not a single FC.
Though Sygic has started misbehaving...but Google map is working(but it is far worse than Sygic)

ok tested using neocore & antutu. won't be posting these on the first page as these benchmarks doesn't have any relation to ICS.

Stock speed (600Mhz) vs Overclocked (768Mhz):

NEOCORE:

ANTUTU:

using a test kernel with new drivers. performance should increase a lot. expecting 70 @ Neocore & 2.3k at Antutu.
