ICS is awesome

Don't understand why people are complaining about ICS.

We don't have to wait. I just installed it with Flashtool (thanks to Uli's great walkthrough) and ICS works great as far as I can see.

Media Gallery is outstanding. Everything is just a little bit better than Gingerbread. Haven't noticed any performance improvements yet. I will test camera tomorrow, but don't think something changed.

Can be imagination but it feels more responsive now, even capacitive buttons.

I'm satisfied, altough it's just plain vanilla ICS. (I mean not fully customized)

Update:

- Video bitrate increased to 20Mbps. Gingerbread 13Mbps

- Video stabilizer is improved.

- better calender widget imho

- battery 0.5% bc/h in idle, which is a little bit better than Gingerbread.

- more options and customizable widgets.

- preview of widgets you want to add.

- much better media gallery

- browser is fast but more awkward. Get used to after a while.

- camera is continuously focusing, which I haven't noticed with GB

issues:

- camera quick launch sometimes not working from sleep. Will try to repair or factory reset.

- sometimes a bit laggy. Not always strange enough.

- sometimes when finished call, screen stays black. could be accelerometer.

- sometimes loudspeaker is enabled when receving call.

- FM radio less reception I think.

- WiFi not so strong as before. Not any problems of loosing connection.

Update 30-06-2012:

Re-Flashed with German rom and it looks like it's faster and less laggy.

Anytime, but what do you mean by plain vanilla ICS?

I mean that it looks basic ICS. Nothing like Samsungs Touchwiz or HTC Sense.

Maybe I said it wrong, I'm not english.
