ICS on my galaxy s2, "officially unofficial" is the best way to explain it. I grabbed the leaked ROM of ICS for my phone today and installed it(seeing how AT&T is dragging on the push of it officially.) I read all the warning signs of it unrooting my device, so I was shocked when a lot of the things I have known to love were gone. (Titanium Backup, AdFree etc.) So far so good, but was it worth it?
Ice Cream Sandwhich is very crisp, and very responsive. Minimal lag is where I feel it shines though. The multi-tasking I was expecting to be a hiccup, but it came through and response very well. Losing the things I really liked with the root access was a bummer, but it was made up in the polished design of the UI. Lacking the on-screen touch buttons for home and back was also a disappointment, but ultimately can live without.
All in all, I like what has been done with the Android 4.0.x OS, but I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed when they find out that ICS on their phone isnt going to look like a Galaxy Nexus as Samsung would have you believe.
If you are an AT&T customer and have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and want to get ICS a little early, head over to galaxys2root.com and the fine folks that have helped me with my transition to the Android world coming from Apple will help with video tutorials and a comments section from other peoples experience.
