Another ICS ROM you can try on your i9100 Galaxy S2 besides the leaked ICS ROM is the CM9 (Cyanogenmod 9) ROM. This one comes with Face Unlock and everything working except camcorder.
This is another great ICS ROM that gives you full ICS experience (without TouchWiz) you can try for now.
Downloads:
Download CM9 ROM
Download Face Unlock
Download GoogleApps
Install all of them from ClockworkMod Recovery.

Mmmm cant copy apps from my pc to galaxy

When I load this Rom from a 2.3.3 version can I just go straight CWM and install zip from sdcard? Otherwise man have to say your guides and work is awesome. Thanks

This is a great rom. I did however have some issues. The worst part was the keyboard. sometimes when writing, the keyboard disappeared, I’d then have to tab the text box 5-10 times to get it back. then when trying to complete the word i was writing, the start of the word which i had already written got deleted. Then I’d try writing the same word again, and at the exact same place as last time, the keyboard disapeared. So for example if i wanted to write “lift” it go wrong after “li”. The only way to write this word was if i wrote “ft” and then went back to write “li” in front of “ft”. Kind of a dealbreaker for me. Also youtube just wouldn’t play any videos.
I’ve used CM9 and AndyX Rom v5.1, and found that AndyX is much better… Almost everything works but some apps like camera seem to be the old GB apps. Doesn’t matter to me as long as it works. though I’m having a few net issues; I won’t say for sure as I don’t have a wifi…. Other than that everything looks good. Still not satisfying though…. Waiting for the completed upgrade.

Hi, USB didnt work for me either, impossible to connect to the PC for file exchange. Reverted back to stock waiting for more stable version, probably after the official ics comes out this month?
I currrently have the second latest nightly build of Cyanogenmod 9 and it is very stable in my opinion. No real problems i have run into yet. I was wondering if, when i download the latest version of the cyanogenmod 9 ROM, i will still need to do a factory reset and partition wipe, even when i am just going from an older version of CM9 to a newer version. Help would be greatly appreciated
guys need help. just installed this ROM but my phone does not BOOT. it has been showing that bule alien for more than 1 hour. what should i do???? pls pls pls help… i need my phone
@Tedi … Go to clockwork mod recovery. vol up,home button, and power. Install cm9 agsin factory reset/wipr the rom. clear cache & delvik cache then reboot. should have you working there.
okaygot a problem of my own too. i dont have wifi at home. so when i factory wipe cy9 and it asks me to sighn in to my gmail service to restore it has to connect to wifi which restricts me from using many roms, anyway to bypass this. thanks.
