vamsee: Did you have any WiFi issues? Switching WiFi off and On at time was buggy. But restarting the phone itself resolved. On the other firmware I had to reset my router ..
bob234: I decided to give the I9100DXLP7 a try as suggested above and my experience was the same - no more 3rd party sms issues...also some other minor issues I had are gone now too - seems like the LP7 is for phones very similar to ours maybe?

No, no issues whatsoever.

You are using a 9100T right ?

Yes - I have a Telecom NZ purchased Galaxy S2 9100T - purchased late last year. Until a few days ago I was still on 2.3.3 - as I have said before i'm more of a novice when it comes to rooting etc - very surprised how easy it was to install the new firmware. To put the LP7 one on I just followed the same steps set out here but with the LP7 firmware instead of LPQ: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxlpq/.

Only issue I have encountered is with the Navigation app Sygic which freezes now when phone connects and disconnects from car dock...

I am going to try mobile Odin soon, it roots when it installs

Am a bit new to all this - hadn't heard of mobile odin - but after a quick read am I right that to use that the device needs to be rooted first? If so, is there an easy way to root my device now that it is on ICS LP7? I had a look & it sounds like I need the right CF-Root - but can't find one for LP7... any ideas - do i need to down grade to gingerbread, root, then use mobile odin.???

Odin xxlpq that again and then root via

Install mobile odin and then put LP7 on phone and open mobile odin and point it towards LP7 and select enable everRoot

Tell me how it goes as i have not had time to do it yet :(

but I know it does work fine from internal memory so you dont need a sdcard

There is also an app called triangle away to remove the triangle you will get by flashing the root via desktop odin

App for the triangle, i installed it from here but you can get it from the market

If you download app from here use CWM to install the app

Sorry - i'm a wee bit nervous about rooting. If I don't like it, can I 'unroot' simply by installing the full LPQ ICS again as set out above? or is it more convoluted than that? I have had a look but can't find a simple answer?

to unroot you should just be able to flash any samsung update via odin :)

I am rooted and used triangle program yesterday however :)

mrtoken - I went back to LPQ, then rooted - I was hoping that after rooting I would be able to solve an issue I was having - turned out that wasn't the case - I have now gone back to a non-rooted LP7 - didn't like the phone being rooted (not sure why though!) & there wasn't any reason for me to keep it that way - so sorry, can't tell you if it works... But you were right, it was easy to unroot!
