Batista70 Foxhound ICS ROM is here again for your Galaxy S2 i9100, this time with “Otacon Edition”. I think this ROM and Resurrection ICS ROM are the two best ICS ROMs out for the Galaxy S2 i9100 series.
I’d say try both and go with which one you feel works best for you. Let me know what you think of this ROM!

Don’t know how to install a ROM?
For all Galaxy S2 GT-i9100, please see Galaxy S2 FAQ here for all rooting, backup, install guides.
my messaging wasnt working after install lol any ideas or should i just flash gosms?
gosms will work for u….
it basically has all reqd. functions except for split view…
also chk if calendar is working..
how to install this ROM
The full set of instructions on how to install are on the xda
For other FoxHound ROM
1. Boot into recovery mode
2. Format System / Factory Data Wipe
3. Wipe cache and also wipe dalvik cache
4. Install Part 1 until you get the CWM install completed message.
5. Select Reboot Now and let the phone boot up and you should get to an Android setup screen.
Don’t use advanced CWM mode or reboot into recovery
6. Setup the phone as requested and then reboot the phone into recovery mode again
7. Wipe cache and dalvik cache again
8. Install Part 2
9. Reboot phone and everything should be working…
10. If you get any error msgs, try removing your external SD card and start again.[/COLOR]
4) After the installation select the “reboot system now”
so do i flash the big file or the small one first. no major issue but ive just installed the big one and left the 5mb file…. do i need it because everything seems to be running fine, or am i missing out on some goodness?
stupid but i cant seem to make a folder. can someone help? :/
i cant make the folder in the app drawer only. not main slides 😛
can someone explain what a ‘tweak’ is?
This is the best ROM I ever had. The second best is resurrection remix V1.0. Both are stable, but Foxhound is superior. No problems at all.
calendar working for u?
No probs. Better rom than Ressusrection v.1.3 (however the second one has more things that can be configurate). Stable and has no probbs than resuretion – it sees sd card, has task manager (!!!), samsung aps and kier air. I think its a bit slower than ressurection, even after unninstaling some soft. But tell me; I installed this by the instruction from xda; wide data/factory, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Even that, after installing this rom it was installing all my previous aps which were in data folder. Why ?
from the startup it keeps saying the program isn’t working and it force closes. dont know why
try reflashing
you may have gone wrong somewhere while flashing the rom.
Somebody has tried PsychoMantis update ?
i dun like the fact that these roms use ui softwares to bring d ics feel….this is whr i love the remix 9.6 and 7 versions…they had the true ics feel to it….the andy x rom had kies air and task manager….it ws brilliant too but remix is really fast n fluid….cant find that perfect rom which i can settle with till the next update from google
I have a S2 baseband version XXLPQ and is not rooted at the moment, do i need to install the XWLP3 4.0.3 Firmware before I can install fox hound. is it also completely stable? Also whats the best way to root my s2?
Thanks for your help!
No. You don’t need to update to official 4.0.3 if you want to update to this ROM. You just need a CF-ROOT kernel for your current ROM using Odin. Head over to androidadvices website for all needed files and a step-by-step video tutorial. Once you’ve flashed that CF-ROOT kernel, you should have ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery. You can then install this ROM or any other ROM from Xda using CWM.
Hope that helps. Feel free to drop a line at :: droidowl[at]gmail
Have a nice day! 🙂
I mean writing, not the instruction
Please all, is there in this rom Arabic writing and reading please anyone answer me
get a keyboard for that function from market!!
Cheers for this video review, the rom looks interesting I may check it out. It would be great if your reviews covered the video and camera apps in a bit more depth, I tried the ressurection ROM after watching your review but found the camera and video did not work on all settings. Overall it was nice though, but I take a lot of pictures and video on my phone so that’s a rea deal breaker.
Btw Otacon is a character in a video game series called Metal Gear Solid. He assists the main character Solid Snake, who is the figure holding a gun on the boot up screen. Also Fox Hound is the name of snakes old Soldier Unit. I think the makers of this rom are clear metal gear solid fans, like me 🙂
Can I use this ROM for S2 i9100G?
Msg stoped . Music FX stoped . what the hell ? Pls update FOXhound . 🙁
it obtaining ip forever, to connect my home wifi
helppp
Great rom HOWEVER could not use for general use due to the “dark text” when typing up a contact name when in the phone call menu. Impossible in any sort of light. Hopefully will get fixed and i can come back from D4 4.0.4 . (my best to date for daily uses)
thanks
to further explaiin… “dark text on dark background”
soft key doesnt work! how to enable soft keys? and wifi always disconnects by it self! a lot of bugs!

Hey gusy i need a little help here i have the S2 I9100 AT&T version that has 4 capacitive keys, after installing foxhound only the home and settings keys work the return and search keys dont respond and i dont know how to fix this! help please!!!
This ROM isn’t for AT&T but if you flashed it that’s why your buttons are not working. Just re-install an AT&T ROM to fix: https://galaxys2root.com/category/att-galaxy-s2-roms/
