joker97: just don't. if you do and there is a problem you don't know where to start solving. Agreed - the frameworks of GB and ICS are substantially different, so you're heading for a world of hurt if you restore. Life is mostly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone - kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own. SGSIII ROM: WanamLite v1.3 Kernel: Ninphetamine v1.1.0 Modem: DXLEA SGSII (Now belongs to SWMBO) ROM: WanamLite v12 Kernel: Siyah v3.3.2 Modem: BVLPB SGS (Cat's chew toy) If you need a download-mode jig ASAP, you're welcome to borrow mine! Works with SGS I/II/III. I also have a SIM cutter available (Dunedin) - happy to post either to you at your cost.

Updated to ICS 4.0.3 using KIES Air desktop application. Positive experience. No issues encountered. I did note that my battery life was dessimated shortly after completion. After a full charge that night, the usage seems to be the same/similar as it was prior to upgrade.

kiwitrc: Righto thanks. Thought that might be the case, at this point for some reason I am getting Titanium hangs on just restoring my apps and data :( Looks like some apps may cause issues, lookin at you Viber I too find that Titanium sometimes hangs while doing batch restores, which is why I restore on a per-app, per-need basis. That way you can figure out what the problematic apps are, and also keep your system free from unnecessary junk. (PS: Viber always restored fine. Restored between three devices, between multiple GB -> ICS ROMs too) Firefox users: It's called Fx, not FF! [Read FAQ#8] I recommend: Web Browser: Opera. Ad Filter: Ad Muncher. Portable OS: Puppy Linux. IM: Digsby. AntiVirus: Microsoft Security Essentials. Automation: AutoHotkey. Rescue CD: Parted Magic.

Yes it may just have been where Viber sat in the stack to restore, not sure. I really must figure out how to remove old unwanted apps from google or wherever they lurk. Otherwise Wanamlite/Abyss has gone on fine and is running very nicely. I wont be going back to GB now.

Nice - have just dipped down under 80% battery after 24 hours' use on the Wanamlite+Abyss combo - very happy with that!!

My wife is now running it on her phone (stock i9100T, unrooted) and she only has one problem, the phone won't turn off. I need to reflash it to see if that'll fix it, but it just restarts each time. Have to pull the battery to turn it off. Lee Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2 Ingress: Enlightened
