joker97: Does any use jkay deluxe or have pop up SMS? Any ICS roms you mean? JKay's mod probably won't be ready for another couple of weeks. He normally gives an idea when something is near ready, but this time has said it might not even be LPQ-based. Lee Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2 Ingress: Enlightened

d3Xt3r: defnz: Ok, so its bookmark sync for the default android browser Doesn't seem to like it when your chrome sync data is encrypted I would avoid using Google Chrome on the mobile - especially if you want the sync features. I've read many horror stories on how people bookmarks got deleted permanently from the servers. Personally I've faced complete system instabilities while using Chrome. I will wait till it becomes more stable. Anyways, I don't see any reason to use it. The stock browser is fast enough, and so is Opera Mobile and Opera Mini.. between the three of them all my browsing needs are covered. :) I have none of the above issues, nor have I lost my bookmarks I'm using Chrome and its great, especially the tab syncing between multiple Chrome sessions

networkn: Says I can't have Chrome on my devices for some reason! Have you had a chance to install an ICS rom on your phone yet? I see in the last few pages that you're thinking about it, but I don't see much more than that. If not, that's the reason. Chrome will only run on ICS roms.

I haven't jumped yet but I heard 19th there is a worldwide release apparently with more bug fixes so I thought I would do it then. Also since I am with CheckROM I am not sure his timeline for a release and not certain I want to swap from Custom to Stock. What custom ICS are people loving here?

There is a good release page here: http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/SGSII-ICS-CRS which shows when various ICS releases are dropped.

lokhor: Can anyone with the I9100T that has flashed ICS tell me which modem they are using for best performance on Telecom? The Telecom Modem. What else? :P Best performance, best battery. Tried all the stock modems, none of them work as good. Firefox users: It's called Fx, not FF! [Read FAQ#8] I recommend: Web Browser: Opera. Ad Filter: Ad Muncher. Portable OS: Puppy Linux.

The Samsung official ICS rom is currently installing on my phone. Based on this page: http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/SGSII-ICS-CRS I've got the Hong Kong model.

Better than the King Kong version that grabs your girlfriend, scoffs your bananas and leaves car sized turds on your lawn.

I9100 ICS sources have landed. . . . .let the fun begin!! Life is mostly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone - kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own.
