Want to get the “leaked” official ICS on your AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777?
Although ICS is already out for the AT&T Galaxy S2 (there’s also Phone Bricker ICS ROM), this one is more or less “official” than ported ROMs from the i9100.
Been waiting for “flawless” ICS experience on your AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777?
UPDATE: See updated version of Phone Bricker ICS ROM here!!!
Well, check out this Phone Bricker ICS ROM (no, it doesn’t brick your phone), which is based off the official XXLPQ ICS for the i9100 series ported to the SGH-i777. So far, this ROM is pretty nice and you can get a “pure” ICS experience with everything working out of the box. There’s also lots of great ICS ROMs now and I will have more reviews coming this week but in the meanwhile, give this ICS ROM a try, you will like it I think. And let me know how it works for you!
Here’s an updated overview of the UnNamed ROM for AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i77, which is probably the best “stable” ROM for your AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 right now. There’s a ton of features that come with this ROM including support for 1.6Ghz overclocking, BLN, unlocked USB/wifi tethering, and much more (you can check out full features list in the Credits link at the bottom).
For this week, I am still on CM9 ICS ROM for my AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777. I’ve updated to the latest nightly with on-screen buttons so you will have the ability to use the home button. There’s couple other ICS ROMs available at the moment but I believe CM9 ICS ROM is still the best so if you want ICS on your AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777, I advise you to stay/install CM9.
Check out this ICS ROM for AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777! A CM9 port, this ICS ROM is pretty complete except for minor things like the back button and search button not working. Other quicks include the screen turning off and on randomly during its sleep state but if that doesn’t bother you, you can get “almost” full ICS experience on your AT&T Galaxy S2 with Face Unlock working too. Other than those small issues, everything works including data/wifi/bluetooth/camera.
Turkbey ROM is a very highly-themed ROM that comes with custom icons, font, and a kernel that’s overclockable to 1.6Ghz. The battery life is pretty awesome on this ROM but what you will find exceptional over other custom ROMs is again its custom theme. It also comes with an app to change various things like the Lockscreen, toggles, and more.
I know a lot of you on AT&T Galaxy S2 are waiting for ICS ROM. Well, I am waiting eagerly everyday too but we are not going to stop reviewing ROMs for it just cause there’s no ICS yet.
For this week, we’ve got the ShoStock ROM for rooted Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 users, this ROM features 14 quick toggles, ICS transitions, tethering hack, and lots of enhancements for faster performance and better battery life.
While we wait for a fully-ported ICS ROM for the AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777, you can enjoy some of ICS parts with the ICScreweD ROM. This ROM isn’t ICS by any means but it does come with several ICS parts that can help alleviate your pains in not having full ICS.
Give it a go and let me know what you think of this ROM.
Want a really fast ROM that runs Android 4.0? The GalnetMIUI is a ROM based off Android Ice Cream Sandwich running the MIUI.
Of course, the sad part is that although it is running ICS, there’s no ICS features to be found on the ROM. But no worries, ICS Android 4.0 does make the phone noticeably faster, there’s no holding back on this one.
For those of you who want to root your AT&T Galaxy S2 using a Mac or Linux, here’s how to do it.
