Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) Update for Galaxy S i9000 [Custom ROM]

Galaxy S i9000 Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

While Samsung would take ages — if they intend to bring the update in first place, which itself is debatable — to release the latest Android 4.0 update to Galaxy S officially via Kies, our beloved developers have already started burning their midnight oil to get you Ice Cream Sandwich love on your very dear very venerable phone in android blogosphere, the Galaxy S.

And their hard work is showing up now in the form of a custom ROM — we’re talking about the first ICS (Android 4.0) port for Galaxy S, made by pretty famous now on Galaxy S development scene, Galnet.

Developers: Galnet was first one to boot ICS on Galaxy S but since then, he and his team has been quite on this. The development came to life only after Onecosmic started working on it and he is the one who took further, making it a bit usable and fixing the touchscreen and doing all the crazy part. After Onecosmic got busy with other stuff, work was resumed by PaulForde, who is responsible for current stage of rom, among with other devs who are working continuously on it right now.

Developers and Donation Link

Here is list to all devs who are currently active on this rom. And we hope you donate them to show your gratitude to them for work they have, while also encouraging them for working more on this development.

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) ROM Status

Update (As of February 12, 2012): RC 4.2 is out — it’s simply one incredible rom, by certain awesome teams of devs.

Big Update: RC1 is out. Features working from this release: Video recording and playback, Hardware Acceleration, Calendar Sync, etc. You may want to celebrate this!! People avoiding the ICS — somehow, I mean — should try this version. Kudos to PaulForde (we’re really thankful to him for this) and Onecosmic.

Almost everything is working — though, of course, there are bugs!

COMPATIBILITY

[error]This guide is applicable only for Samsung’s Galaxy S international version — GT-i9000 and GT-i9000B. Check your phone’s version in Settings – About Phone. It has to be “GT-i9000” or “GT-i9000B” for this Android 4.0 port ROM to be compatible with your phone. Otherwise, simply don’t try this ROM on your android handset — don’t even think about it if you care about your android device.[/error]

WANRING!

Warning: Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page. You only are responsible for your device. We won�t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.

Installing the Android 4.0 ICS custom ROM isn’t that hard if you’ve already done flashing stuff a couple of times. But even if you’re new to flashing and custom ROMs, don’t worry one bit, we’ve got you covered. Just watch the video below, read the instructions and you are good to do it yourself.

Pre-Installation thoughts:

  1. Installing/Flashing this ROM will erase your apps and data. So, it’s a very important you back them up, before proceeding further. To backup your apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. Restore APN settings if Internet isn’t working for you. This Android backup guide would help you. And if you’ve rooted your Galaxy S, you can save application’s data too, using Titanium backup (free app on android market) to backup apps with data. And use this this app only  again to restore those apps with data.
  2. Drivers! — it’s important you’ve the proper drivers installed. Download links below:
  3. If you have Samsung’s PC software Kies installed, be sure to exit it before using flashing this ROM, or anything with odin software.

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for Galaxy S

Update: The installation process is much different now that what was for the initial release. But you can still watch the video — especially if you’re new to this — to get the idea of flashing and stuff. And the guide below has been duly updated to take care of installation needs of the latest release. So, go ahead!

So, the video below is not to be followed, but if you want to learn about rebooting into recovery, using CWM recovery, and other things, watching the video for once is recommended.

Here’s the video showing the installation of Android 4.0 custom ROM (AOSP port, version alpha4):

Note: There is a brief overview (from 6:58) of Android 4.0 running on Galaxy S in the above video.

How to Install Ice Cream Sandwich on Galaxy S [step-by-step guide]:

  1. Flash XXJVU Android 2.3.6 based firmware first.
  2. Install CWM and Root on the XXJVU.
  3. Download the latest version of “Android 4.0 ROM” from here — let’s call it rom file — and then continue the steps below to flash it without any worries. be careful while downloading since that page has downloads for all version of Galaxy S for which this rom is available. Download one meant for your phone, i9000.
  4. Transfer the rom file to your phone’s sdcard (don’t use external sdcard, btw). Remember the location where you transfer this files.
  5. Power Off your Galaxy S. Wait for 5-6 seconds until you feel the vibration to confirm complete switch off.
  6. Boot into Recovery mode. Then, press and hold these 3 buttons together: VolumeUP+Home+Power till the Galaxy S logo shows up on screen. You’ll boot into CWM recovery soon enough. (In recovery, use Volume keys to scroll up and down and power key to select an option. Use back key to go back.)
  7. Do Wipe Data/Factory Reset
  8. Do Wipe Cache Partition
  9. Go to advanced and do Wipe Dalvik Cache
  10. Now, flash the rom file. Select install zip from sdcard » choose zip from sdcard » browse through sdcard and select the rom file you downloaded in step 3 and transferred in step 4 above. Select “Yes – Install ______” on the next screen.
  11. After flashing necessary stuff, phone will boot up into recovery again. You will notice it’s a different recovery, colored blue now, and this is what was flashed in step 10 above to make the phone ready for installation.
  12. Now, flash the rom file again. Select install zip from sdcard » choose zip from sdcard » browse through sdcard and select the rom file you downloaded in step 3 and transferred in step 4 above. Select “Yes – Install ______” on the next screen.
  13. Go back and select ‘reboot system now’ to restart the phone. Be patient while phone boots up, it may take between 5 to 15 mins  for first boot.
  14. IF IT FAILS TO BOOT in 15 mins, then, well we got problem here. Do this:
    1. When the phone is restarting (still booting up) open the back cover and REMOVE the battery. Yes you read it right. Reinsert it after 3-4 seconds and then boot into recovery again.
    2. In recovery, do a Wipe Data/ Factory Reset. And then, select reboot system now to restart the phone. it should boot up properly now. If it doesn’t, then perhaps you did not follow something correctly.
  15. Also, if you are not happy with the performance of this rom — maybe because it lacks some apps/features you cared too much for, or reboots itself — I would suggest you to install the Android 4.0 AOKP Rom for Galaxy S, it’s simply damn good.
  16. [Optional] Support the development and appreciate the hard work put in by the team by donating them. Find donation link given above.
  17. Also, it’s already rooted. You don’t need to root it.
  18. Just for your info, Android 4.0 custom ROM is available Galaxy S2 too — find our Installation Guide for Android 4.0 on Galaxy S2 i9100 here.
That’s it. You’ve the Android 4.0 running coolly on your Galaxy S buddy. Cheers to awesome dev team!

GOING BACK TO ANDROID 2.3 (Gingerbread) [IMPORTANT!!!]

Btw, if you want to revert back to Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware from this Android 4.0 custom rom, get (install) the XXJVU firmware, linked in at step 1 above. And if wanted by you, root it as given in step 2.

    1. When the developers update this to new and more-usable version, we’ll update the link and all that. So, check back later. Ot would work fine, eventually — just have some patience.

  1. I can’t really see the point in featuring this until you can at least get past the lock screen… a complete waste of time IMHO!

    1. On Nexus S, it took just 4-5 days for a not-at-all working port to become a usable ROM. I can’t give you that deadline here, but I am hopeful we will have a working ROM pretty soon. Even if it takes a week or two, these developers will have a lot if respect from me.

      One should appreciate the fact that these devs have come with a port this soon.

      Anyway, don’t bother much and check again later, you’ll know the fun once some basic stuff starts to work.

      P.S. I am pretty much attached to Galaxy S dev. It’s still my fav phone although I use S2 now. You know, both CM7 and MIUI had this sort of beginning only. Those feeling bad abt it should atleast appreciate dev’s work, if they can’t donate at all.

  2. David is right, u cant do anything because of the lockscreen, u cant pass it !!! :/ will u do something 4 us to fix that?

  5. LttlDvl here, You can navigate the rom by using two fingers to select and drag.  you can also bypass the lockscreen by pressing back and then menu quickly.

    It’s been our plesure to port this and release it for other developers to work on as well.

    I’d just like to reiterate again: This port is NOT for daily use.  It is literally at the point we had it right after we had it booting.

    1. Hey there! Welcome to our blog, LttlDvl.

      I’m from the TheAndroidSoul team. We’re thankful to you, and Galnet, for the work you guys are doing.

      I hope you are able to get it this port working pretty soon, either before or after Galaxy Nexus hits and AOSP build of Android 4.0 is out.

      You’re Awesome!

      P.S. Would donate 20 bucks when I get home. Keep rocking, dear!

    2. Thank you!  Everyone is more than welcome for this, Galnet and I had alot of fun getting this to work.

      The main idea behind it was to get it booting to give the community a chance to learn how the system works.  We both understand that nobody is going to learn how the system definitively works from an SDK port, however all developers will gain some much needed experience from this, which should show when the first true data dumps and source compiled builds become available.  But things will hopefully move quite quickly from that point.

      It’s also allowing us to see how elements of ICS can benefit our MIUI development, so it’s all a case of watch this space!

      Hopefully though, the developement community can wring some sense out of this and have a more stable version some time soon to allow everyone to have an idea of what ICS can deliver.

  10. Awesome job Devs. To take a SDK and turn it into a proof-of-concept ROM is always impressive.

    Regarding the i897 (Captivate) 4.0 ROM, would it use a i9000 modified ROM, or would it likely be built from scratch? I ask since the captivate doesn’t seem to be too popular with the dev community, despite being the one of the prettiest Galaxy S (single-core) phones.

    1. Personally, I like Captivate’s design far more appealing than Galaxy S (and other variants). But as you said it, dev work is pretty limited there. In fact, no other device matches Galaxy S’ sort of development, not even the Galaxy S2.

      And I think Captivate will need sth built from scratch, which I think both Galaxy S i9000 and Captivate will get only after Google releases the Android 4.0 source code to public — possibly, after Galaxy Nexus is launched.

  13. Post updated. New version — Alpha4 — is available for download as also the new kernel. The phone’s got calls and sms working now, and also the WiFi. You have no reason to not try it once more — it’s so awesome, and fast, thanks to ‘HW acceleration’ that is now working on this port.

    Guys, go for it. you’re gonna love it.

    Dev team is doing amazing work. Cheers!

    1. I won’t try it until It’s stable, or at least, 3G and external SD are supported. Also, I had problems of bootloops with the Fugumod kernel T_T

    1. You need to have Android 2.3 based firmware/rom. I think one shouldn’t try it on Froyo, it must be requiring Gingerbread boot loaders. Basebands not a problem.

    1. All you need is a clockworkmod recovery installed on any gingerbread rom onn galaxy S i9000. JVT is cool to go with, it would work.

  17. I tried as per instructions given above every thing goes fine . but my phone is stuck at FUGUMOD and not going further, please help.

    1. Tried it twice, same thing happens, stops at first screen. everything seemed to go on ok, what have I missed?

    2. Try again.

      If it still happens, flash the ICS again and this time, reboot the phone before installing the Fugumod kernel. Touchscreen won’t work, but don’t bother. Simply go back to recovery and flash the fugumod kernel and then reboot — should work.

  20. is this stable enough for daily use now……curious…..thinkin of flashing it..

    I9000 xxjvq 2.3.4 gingerbread
    rooted w/cwm/superuser/tweak….
    will this work on my unit….

    thanks and keep up the excellent work devs………….

    1. Depends on you whether you wanna use ICS in daily life with some gr8 bugs. Read what works and what not in the post, and decide it yourself. You’re good to go, btw!

    2. I would suggest you to wait for Alpha7 which should be released anytime this week. It includes complete hardware acceleration along with working video and camera.

    1. I’ll update the post with a guide on how to apply 3g patch shortly. Btw, as suggested here, alpha 7 should be pretty good. Maybe, it will get RC1 tag, lol!

    2. hi kapil im just getting ready to flash everything can you update 3g patch part of the post please…much appreciated, ps does the the mobile ap tethering and the internet phone browser work

    1. Alpha 7. And one more question: The PC don’t want to recognize my phone, so i pluged in with a data cable and nothing.

    2. Ohh, and my phone network does not work too. I haven’t tried with Wi-Fi still, but i usually use my phones network.

    3. Don’t know how to fix it.

      Man, there will be some bugs here and there until it gets out of alpha, for sure. So, be prepared to deal with it. And maybe, try it again after it gets Release Candidate status, or a full release. If you can’t bear it right now, simply go back to Android 2.3. That’s sad but you gotta wait, man!

  27. Not working… It freezes at fugomod , i’ve done exactly what was written , step by step.. and nothing..

  28. hi kapil i am getting ready to flash everthing, but without the 3g patch post i wont be able to do because i use my ap tethering as my home network,such if you could this asap…you will be a ledge,,,thanks in advance

    1. No. And your device isn’t Galaxy S or its variant. Galaxy Ace is a nice phone, but it’s another galaxy phone, man.

      Btw, CM7.2 is available for your phone, have you tried it?

  40. I can`t get service.. If i want to untick the option ”lock simcard” than it ask for pin code. It does not accept my pin code so i cant get service.. plzz help!

    1. hey…i have the same problem…i tried to unlock sim with my pin…but i can t…always says key is wrog bla bla…can somebody help us?…on my phone bluetooh works but sim car doesn t…and everything else is so fine…working without bugs and similar stuff….pls help me with sim problem as soon as you can…:S

  41. Hi
    thanks very much for your hard work. I have followed the instructions (coming from latest MIUI) and am stuck at the GALAXY S screen with the FuguMod logo after the second installation having wiped cache and reset/data wiped. How long should it take to boot the phone after this and before going back to CWM to install kernel…?Thanks

    Hamish

    1. Don’t worry. Reboot to recovery, do factory reset, do wipe cache partition, and then flash the kernel again. Then, reboot.

    2. Hey,
      fast reply, I know lots of people have asked the same questions, so thanks for taking the time. I did it all again but did one thing different: wipe dalvik cache in Advanced, that made the difference and I am now into the big colourful X boot animation…. we will see what happens next…
      Hamish

    3. UPDATE:
      Well, I got it going and for a while it was good. I know that it is an Alpha and so on that basis, it is great. I even had bluetooth working and sent a file to another phone. However, about 15 hours in everything started force closing, this included all the core google apps such as Market.
      Not sure why that was, I was trying to install Paradise Island at the time. 
      Despite this it was a lovely insight into what it will be like when a decently stable beta build comes, or even, lets hope, a Stable build or, hope against hope, Samsung  release an update for SGS i9000…. yeah, I know, never gonna happen.
      Thanks for your work.

  46. install quick and simply: disable lagfix, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe delvik cache, flash latest ice cream alpha 7 and reboot, flash latest kernal and update zip then your phone will be running on ice cream rom simple….to get superuser and and 3g coverage simply go to recovery and flash them both go to the market and download script manager open and follow instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.co…

  47. Touch screen not working. I installed Alpha 7, and now  the touchscreen won’t work. it just opens a pop-up “Complete action using” and I have 2 options: com.android.provision.DefalutActivity and the second Setup Wizard. I re-flashed the kernel a few times, tried restart phone and other things .Also when i open the screen it won’t show up unless i rotate the screen (portrait to landscape or vice-versa). Anyone can help me please?

    1. when the complete action screen comes on just tick the box default and click the first one…if the other setup does not work just goes through all the steps i put below again it does not take long to do,but for this to be a day to day rom, i would wait for a beta if i was you buddy

    2. Thanks for sharing your thoughts… 🙂

      I’ll be home tomorrow, so will see it myself and answer our dear users’ problems, then. See you guys!

    3. Sorry paul, did all you wrote down there, but my touchscreen still won’t recognize my finger. As i need to use my phone i will revert back to 2.3.4 for this weekend, hoping our dear developers can help me and anyone else with this problem.

    1. I just pulled out the battery, powered on the phone, waited a little on the same screen than nearly 4 mins on a beautiful nexus animation. If you succced, please let me know if your touchscreen is working 🙂 

  56. installed alpha 8.

    im stuck at colorful screen ( after Galaxy S fugumod screen)
    it took 10 minutes.
    still continue

    1. Damn…and I already went through all the trouble of resetting to standard 2.3.4, rerooting and reinstalling ICS because I thought I’d bricked the phone. Back to playing Skyrim until alpha 9 is released I guess…

    2. how did you manage to enter recovery mode? am currently stuck not being able to enter recovery mode using the VolUp/Home/Power combo

    1. ICS sucks. It doesn’t even include a file manager that lets you access the external SD card. The face recognition is only for fun. The rest is just as Gingerbread. I’m almost sure they changed GB just because it looks a lot like Apple OS.

  58. installed alpha 8.

    im stuck at colorful screen ( after Galaxy S fugumod screen)
    it took 10 minutes.
    still continue 

  59. installed alpha 8.

  60. finally on ICS.
    1. Flashed JVS
    2. Rooted JVS
    3. Flashed MIUI 1.11.25 from CWM
    4. Flashed ICS version of CM7 from CWM.
    5. Installed google apps pack.

    Working like a charm. Phone works, 3G works.

    1. I followed below procedure,
      1. Installed I9000XXJVS on my i9000 from the links in this post.
      2. Rooted JVS with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVS-v4.1-CWM3RFS
      3. Boot to CWM Recovery and perform Wipe data & Wipe cache
      4. Install zip file from SD card and select miuiandroid_I9000-1.11.25.zip (http://miuiandroid.com/roms/miui-development-roms/) and reboot the system.
      5. Boot to CWM Recovery again and Install zip file from SD card and select teamhacksung_galaxysmtd-ota-eng.BUILD1.zip (supposed to be CM9) .Link for procedure and downloading files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?s=71e99d084cae4c9ef00291d370eb8a62&t=1363593) and reboot the system
      6. Boot to CWM recovery again and flash gapps.zip by selecting Install zip file from SD card.
      Thats it. I’m able to boot to ICS. Phone, 3G, Exchange & Gmail works. Widgets, clock and other applications work though… As this is not final ROM, there might be lot of bugs and check the CM7 website/forum for more details.
      I’m not sure if Point4 is necessary, but this is how it worked for me. I flashed my phone around 10 times with Alpha7 & Alpha8 versions and finally it worked after following above procedure.

    2. I have posted this post with the links for the files to be downloaded. I’m waiting for moderator to approve the post. You can search forum.xdadevelopers for these files and check.

    3. Flashed MIUI 1.11.25 from CWM
    4. Flashed ICS version of CM7 from CWM.
    5. Installed google apps pack.

    Working like a charm. Phone works, 3G works.

      1. I followed below procedure,
        1. Installed I9000XXJVS on my i9000 from the links in this post.
        2. Rooted JVS with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVS-v4.1-CWM3RFS
        3. Boot to CWM Recovery and perform Wipe data & Wipe cache
        4. Install zip file from SD card and select miuiandroid_I9000-1.11.25.zip (http://miuiandroid.com/roms/miui-development-roms/) and reboot the system.
        5. Boot to CWM Recovery again and Install zip file from SD card and select teamhacksung_galaxysmtd-ota-eng.BUILD1.zip (supposed to be CM9) .Link for procedure and downloading files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?s=71e99d084cae4c9ef00291d370eb8a62&t=1363593) and reboot the system
        6. Boot to CWM recovery again and flash gapps.zip by selecting Install zip file from SD card.
        Thats it. I’m able to boot to ICS. Phone, 3G, Exchange & Gmail works. Widgets, clock and other applications work though… As this is not final ROM, there might be lot of bugs and check the CM7 website/forum for more details.
        I’m not sure if Point4 is necessary, but this is how it worked for me. I flashed my phone around 10 times with Alpha7 & Alpha8 versions and finally it worked after following above procedure.

      2. I have posted this post with the links for the files to be downloaded. I’m waiting for moderator to approve the post. You can search forum.xdadevelopers for these files and check.

  66. I’m stuck, now at the animation with the four-coloured X. Removing battery didn’t help. How to boot in Recovery mode to install another version?

  74. Does this touch the modem firmware, or does it leave my pre-existing one intact?
    I’m on a i9000M which typically uses the international firmwares with the exception of the modem.

    1. I think it would change the modem. Before trying this, make sure you have a firmware for your i9000M so that you can go back to stock easily.

      And, you can try flashing the modem separately via Odin (only modem file, nothing else) on ICS rom and see if that works.

  77. hey guys when trying to flash beta 1 ice cream zip,after the process starts after only a few seconds it aborts the procedure..i’ve tried a previous suggestion of a different cwm no joy…any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated

  78. Hello everybody involved, thanks for creating ROM ics for galaxy s. Really appreciate that.

    After some troubles I managed to flash beta1 several hours ago. All things work just fine except phone (modem) service itself. Phone is absolutely without GSM or data connectivity. Like there is not SIM card inside. If I go to settings – security – set up SIM card lock – lock SIM card -> enter correct PIN (vedrified using another phone) getting error message.

    If I go to mobile network settings – Network operators – Search networks -> getting error message too.

    If I try to call some number directly -> getting error message that airplane mode is turn on (but in fact it is turned off).

    Any suggestion or idea what could be wrong?

    Thanks in advance

    1. After I followed published install procedure for beta 1, phone seems to work OK running ics right now.

  81. And if phone is turned off and you connect a charger, phone is automatically turned on. Simply phone cannot be charged when is turned off

  82. hey guys if you’re having problems like i was, i’ve found a simple way to resolve this firstly flash alpha 7 ice cream zip procedure and then put it into reboot mode and then flash beta ice cream zip and kernal and update zip and you will then be running on beta 1

    1. Thanks for airing your thoughts (and method). Btw, I’ve updated the guide, and using CM7, it does seems to work.

      Anyway, I’ll try your method too 😀

      See ya!

  83. Installed, turned on phone. Galaxy logo showed up for a while and everything gone black. Still trying to wait 10 mins. 

    1. Remove battery, go to recovery mode and flash the ics beta 1 rom again. Don’t flash kernel, though, this time. And reboot.

    2. I found that installing rom (full wipe), install kernel (full wipe), remove sim card and plug into charger (not PC) seemed to work. Not sure why or how 

  84. I am trying to update my galaxy s i9000 to ICS but while im flashing the Beta rom im getting an error: “error in sdcard update.zip: status 7” can somehelp help me with this?

    1. at first u must install kernel from zip card and then when are founts blue color, u can install ics file

    1. just reflashed the kernel to get mine up and running, its working great, didnt even have to do the 3g mod, worked straight away o2-uk. great work guys

  89. Tried installing ICS Beta1. I install the kernal, removed battery and then installed ICS but when I reboot it just goes directly back into the recovery. 

    1. I have the exact same problem! i found it weird that i had to flash the kernel twice, is that correct? I flashed the rom many times now, but it keeps booting back into recovery mode. any thoughts?

    2. Ok. Try this.

      After you’ve flashed CM7, reboot phone. Then, reboot to recovery and flash kernel. Now, remove battery, put it back and reboot to recovery. Flash ics rom and reboot phone. Hope iy reboots fine.
      And, check in about phone, whether the fugu kernel is listed there or not.

    3. Just tried your suggestion, still loops into recovery. Stupid question this is an Australia Galaxy S I believe classed as the i9000t would this be the reason why it isn’t working?

  90. hey guys if you’re having problems like i was, i’ve found a simple way to resolve this firstly flash alpha 7 ice cream zip procedure and then put it into reboot mode and then flash beta ice cream zip and kernal and update zip and you will then be running on beta 1

  96. hmm i didn’t flash CM7, i know it was recommended but i had darky custom rom installed. Can i just flash CM7 from recovery, or should i use Odin?

    1. I think I have done the same as you, I had Darkyrom and also didnt flash CM7 originally. I would be interested to see if you can now get it working. Can I ask which country are you in? 

    2. I tried the steps many times now, but no good.. i am now wondering how to get the CM7.zip on my device. I doens’t seem to work when i connect it to the pc when i am in ‘download mode’. I think download mode is only used with ODIN right? any idea if it’s possible to flash CM7 from exernal SD?

    3. i am from The Netherlands.. i have the GTi9000, i am trying to get the CM7.zip on my phone, but don’t know how to.

    4. There is a separate guide on installing CM7, and I’ve linked that too in tthe guide above. Use that guide to get CM7 working, and then continue to next step.

    5. Ok, I am getting closer. I now get the red, blue, yellow and green logo when booting into ICS, but it just stays there (have waited 10mins) I have tried removing battery, re-installing ICS and kernel.

    6. Good. If it still doesn’t boot, go back to recovery and just flash the ice again. And then reboot – DO NOT flash kernel again and do not do factory reset or wipe cache or anything.

      Good luck!

    7. Thanks, any suggestions if re-flashing ICS doesn’t work? I have tried about 4 times now! am going to leave phone on that screen overnight and see what has happened by morning haha

    8. the exact same thing is happening to me at this very moment, im not sure what to do because i didnt install the cm7 thingo. what should i do?

  97. Guys read my last post i’m on darky jvt too…follow the steps I wrote and it works everytime 😀

  98. Kapil I know it takes alot of time and effort to develop but would you know roughly when beta 2 will become available…living the work and dedication it takes btw

    1. paul, these betas are coming out like wildfire tbh. Like seriously, beta1 was released yesterday, alpha8 was released the day before, and like alpha7 was released the day or two before that.

      Has anyone noticed with beta2 that the density has changed. Things appear smaller or are my eyes going tits up?

    2. recognized that too, things are really smaller, i like it, its compact and looks more gentle 🙂

  99. i managed to fix my phone and flash the beta succesfully! it’s awesome 🙂 feels snappy and stable for a beta release. I flashed the darky 10.2 resurrection edition via ODIN and after that i flashed CM7 stable. From the CM7 ROM i installed the CWM and then succesfully flashed the kernel and beta ROM. Jippie!

  102. Beta battery drain and overheating…. So, last night I installed the beta, looked good, all worked fine.
    This morning after charging all night it was at 100% charge. I unplugged it and within an hour was down to 80% batter. After another hour it was 60% and getting very hot. I panicked and began to download the latest MIUI, which made it get even hotter. I then ditched ICS again and reinstalled MIUI 1.11.25 phew.
    Nice as it was to see ICS working better with the beta it was too risky. Is the Kernel overclocked? Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks
    Hamish

    1. I had brutal battery life with the CWM9 ICS port, but when I switched to this one the battery life has been significantly better. Checkign right now, I’m at 25% remaining charge, at 22 hrs on battery. I barely got 4 hours on the other one.

  103. Theres a problem …when i want to download something at the android markrt…it sais that my phone is not compatible….so i cant download something like the facebook app…but i can download fes file manager for abdroid 1.6…anny solutions¿?????
    Btw looks awesome=D

    1. I also had this funky X-animation but skipped some important steps, got a funny “Encryption unsuccessful” message and a dead touchscreen. Tried and failed to get into recovery or download mode and am now the lucky owner of a bricked phone. Have now ordered some USB-dongle that should allow me to access download mode and flash again to something useful…

      Thank god I don’t really need this device and hope you will be more lucky…

    2. Yes, Microsoft colors they are. Google used it in Nexus logo (the X you’re seeing) and btw, if you noticed, same colors are in use Chrome browser icon. Pretty weird, but it look good, no doubt.

  104. beta1 is spot on for me, not had any issues yet. no freezes no application crashes.

    everything seems to work, bar video.

  105. if you guys stuck with ‘X’ logo, reboot your phone into recovery mode and ‘wipe data/factory reset’ only.
    i did it and it works

  106. The external Sd card doesnt show any progamms/filles?? It is full with music but my phone just cant get there…

I flashed the darky 10.2 resurrection edition via ODIN and after that i flashed CM7 stable. From the CM7 ROM i installed the CWM and then succesfully flashed the kernel and beta ROM. Jippie!

  113. Beta battery drain and overheating…. So, last night I installed the beta, looked good, all worked fine.
    This morning after charging all night it was at 100% charge. I unplugged it and within an hour was down to 80% batter. After another hour it was 60% and getting very hot. I panicked and began to download the latest MIUI, which made it get even hotter. I then ditched ICS again and reinstalled MIUI 1.11.25 phew.
    Nice as it was to see ICS working better with the beta it was too risky. Is the Kernel overclocked? Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks

    1. I had brutal battery life with the CWM9 ICS port, but when I switched to this one the battery life has been significantly better. Checkign right now, I’m at 25% remaining charge, at 22 hrs on battery. I barely got 4 hours on the other one.

    1. I also had this funky X-animation but skipped some important steps, got a funny “Encryption unsuccessful” message and a dead touchscreen. Tried and failed to get into recovery or download mode and am now the lucky owner of a bricked phone. Have now ordered some USB-dongle that should allow me to access download mode and flash again to something useful…

      Thank god I don’t really need this device and hope you will be more lucky…

    2. Yes, Microsoft colors they are. Google used it in Nexus logo (the X you’re seeing) and btw, if you noticed, same colors are in use Chrome browser icon. Pretty weird, but it look good, no doubt.

    1. You can only get it back if u Backed them Up on SD card, if you have them on SIM card or if you synced them with G-account. To sync them to your device, just connect to the internet(3G/WiFi) and add a the google account where all your contacts are synced. If you had the contacts only on your phone internal memory, you lost them forever(sorry).

  134. Same problem here. After updating to 4.0 Beta 2 No Network. but the first boot was taking so long time so i restarted forcefully, then i got a message saying “Phone Encryption error you may loss your data” then ter was only option to Reset. after 3 to four time reset i got home screen but No Netowrk. 🙁 Help Please.

    1. even i am facing same problem…….. it directly goes to airplane mode……i degraded to 2.3.5 and upgraded to 4.0 b2, i do get the signal in 2.3.5 but i dont get the signal in 4.0 beta 2.

  137. Installed Beta2, and the display resolution seems to be different than it was in Beta1 (?)

    The icons are a little bit smaller for starters. It is even more noticeable in a game like Parallel Kingdom.

    The last strange bit is that when you pull down the status bar, under the carrier name at the bottom is that little blue circle. Mine is no longer centered, but is off to the right a little bit.

    Doesn’t affect much, but is a bit odd.

    3. If you can’t get your phone to connect while in ICS, boot into the recovery rom. There is an option there under “mount” to mount as a USB device. You can then transfer files to and from the computer while in that menu.

  182. just flashed with CM7 followed by ICS 4.0, as per procedure given above. While the phone is much faster and smoother, following are few of the issues:
    – Messaging doesnt work, it collapses while opening any message or while compiling
    – Can access Storage from settings
    – Face unlock missing
    – USB connection doesnt work
    – FM app missing, even restoring from Titanium wont work
    – few more, which I havent been able to test yet
    But among all Messaging (SMS) is the most critical one and cant live without. Anybody has any resolution for that?

  188. Wow, nice project guys! I can’t wait until all the bugs are fixed. Once it reaches that point I surely do the upgrade on my I9000.

  189. BBC iplayer not working with beta 2 update. Says phone is not compatible, GO keyboard also kinda buggy for text box input using built in internet. Still hugely impressed overall and definitely sticking with it.

  194. Awesome work and tutorial. Rom runs so smooth and fast, I’m pretty happy with it. I’m just having problems with 3G, I’m from Mexico and I guess I need a different Modem, do you think  I can donwload some and flash them via recovery and make it work? Or any suggestions? Thanks!

    1. Yes, installing your regional mexican modem — either via Odin it cwm, whichever file you get — should do fine. Good luck searching that, btw. 🙂

  207. Where is the kernel? The link in step 4 is the same link as in step 3 (like it says) but there is no kernel if this could please be fixed or uploaded somewhere else if possible. Thank You!!!

    1. I think kernel flashing is no longer required. It’s just one simple flash of ICS rom now, no messing up with kernel and all that. Just wait for 15 mins, I’m trying the rom again, and will update the post shortly.

  208. POST UPDATED.. rom has been updated with significant changes that affect the installation guide — you know, the kernel is now included in the rom file itself now. So, see the updated guide, and fyi, it’s very easy now to install ICS. No CM7 required, and just one file (of rom, of course) download required.

  209. Just applied latest update, very nice and so easy to install, fantastic work. Still having flash issues (BBC I Player mainly,) and a few app issues but nothing major. Disappointed at the ‘uninstall app’ option being removed when long pressing an app icon, really liked that in last version. Video recorder still not working but i’m sure you know this.

  216. I see that a kernel has been added now for the i9000. Now I am confused. The updated guide says the Kernel is included in the ROM so must I only download the ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta2-i9000.zip file and flash it or must I download this file and the Beta 2 Kernel aswell. Help appreciated, thank you!

    1. The update has now been marked as deprecated. I assume this means some major bugs or issues have been found? I’ve not experienced anything bad so far.

    2. i have done it but i have got the problem. i am not getting the music. and when i open storage in settings i get an error message as unfortunately,settings has stopped.

  219. Im on network locked tmobile uk branded 
    but now running xxjvs (rooted.)

    Will this work for me? Or do i need to unlock the phone?
    Also, what is different in this 2.5.1 version from the last? Because it isnt mentioned…

    1. Fixes since original beta 2:
      Microbes works now
      Black Hole Live wallpaper added
      File explorer added
      Barcode Scanner added
      Cache partition has been symlinked to a folder on /data so we no longer have issues with installing big apps
      efs partition is no longer mounted during the install process,it is backed up a different way to cause less issues.
      The camera has been updated to the one from koush’s nexus s build,it seems to perform better than what we were using.
      NYANCAT BOOT ANIMATION!!!

    2. Thanks for adding extra detail. 🙂

      What about me having a network locked phone?? Does that matter?

      Im on rooted jvs already (i can use odin just about)
      But how do I transfer zip ( ics rom) file to my i9000 precisely?

      Im unsure…
      I want to get this right first time!

      Nathan.

  220. I just updated to 2.5.1. Is anyone else having problems when connecting the phone to the PC? And also when trying to open Storage Menu?

  228. Hi Kapil, Currently I am on XXJVP 2.3.4 ON Galaxy S GT-I9000. Next Updates 2.3.5 and 2.5.6 are available from long but i have been waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich version to become stable. What is the best option for me now as ICS is not yet complete. Should i move to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 till then? What is the best option ?

    1. Android 4.0 ICS roms are not good for daily use right now.. so stick with Android 2.3.x rom. Btw, we’ll be posting a guide to update Galaxy S to Android 2.3.6 shortly, within a couple of hrs. Stay tuned.

    2. Can’t agree with you less. Rom is not ideal, I admit but the most important work without tok much bugs (I’m speaking of beta 2.0)

    I installed just the ICS_4.0.1 zip file on my GT-I9000. Everything seems to be working fine including 3G.
    The kernel version shows as: 3.0.8-FuguMod….

    There is one hitch though, I am unable to sync contacts from my simcard or from my exchange account or even from my Touchdown account. I was able to sync from the gmail account.

    Is there a patch I need to apply to get it working. I have zero contacts and its really needed to keep me going.

  235. Oh No !
    I loved the interface but cannot operate without contacts.
    Will have to switch back to my previous ROM till a fix is obtained. 🙁
    Anyways, Thank You for the super quick response.

    EDIT:
    Managed to copy the contacts from Touchdown to the Phone and now all contacts are available 🙂

    Thanks for the fantastic ROM.
    Hopefully, the few remaining issues will be sorted out over the next few weeks.

  238. mine is currently running XXJVR i am trying to update to XXJVS but it doesn’t shows up on Odin while i try …how should i update my drivers ??

    1. Drivers have been linked under pre-installation thoughts heading.. Download and install from there.

      Odin should recognize then. If it doesn’t install Samsung Kies software which installs drivers too, but be sure to exit Kies when using Odin.

  239. Everything works on mine … but a bit glitchy. Cannot wait for a stable version! I amazed with interface!! much better than the iOS

    SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO PRECISELY!

    Ive already installed and rooted xxJVS
    Sorry for being an idiot…

    Thanks in advance!

  259. Uk tmobile.

    and ready to try cm9 or this build.

    Which is better?

    1. What’s your mobile’s model number? It has to be gt-i9000 for it to work. And both cm9 and this are okay.

  260. Yeah its gti9000 so i’ll be ok…
    Are both cm9 and this at the same stage of development then?

    On a different topic, AppDrawer icons are really tiny. :S Anyway to make them larger?

  287. Found a .apk of a working version of Script Manager… but i’ve followed the instructions many times and still no 3G 🙁

  288. 3G working! persistence is key!

    Don’t assume the APN settings are OK because they were before you got the new firmware… mine were reset. Easy enough to find on google though. Good luck peoples with problems!

  289. Thumb up great job. I just flahed my galaxy s I9000, i love the interface and it is very fast. But i have problem with installing apps and retriving or synchronizing contacts from SIM.
    -after flashing, I am trying to install my apps again from Market, But i am getting a compatibel error. For all apps that had been installed, getting the same error. And the apps are marked as installed in Market. But i cann’t see them in my galaxy. Any idea? I used ‘Backup II’ to back up my contacts and agenda’s. How can i restor my apps? 
    Thanks in advance.

  290. So now the only real issue I am experiencing is some apps not being able to install, i can’t find a workaround short of finding .apks on the web 🙂

    Lemme know if there’s something I can do 😀

  299. cant connect to network/carrier (network is not available), i’ve upgraded from baseband v. I9000XXJVQ to I9000UGKG3 and cant seem to connect to carrier anymore, tried every forum/thread .. if you can help it would be gr8?!

  300. Hi Kapil,

    I am facing the following issues:
     – Unable to connect my mobile to the laptop even with the latest drivers.The mobile give the error “process Android.process.media has stopped”
    – Google TTS force closes. Only PICO TTS works.
    – SVOX Classic & the english voice “Victoria” do not work and hence the app “Jeannie” also does not have a voice.

    Incompatibility reported with the following apps:
     – Evernote : I have restored the backup from Titanium and that works well but am unable to update it as it lists it as incompatible in the Market.
     – The game “Where is my Water” installs but does not play due to incompatibility.

    Overall, still a fantastic experience and highly recommended.
    THANK YOU and THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

  301. It took a few tries for it to work with my phone, but here’s what I did:

    1) Started out on the latest CM7 for the I9000
    2) Booted into recovery
    3) Backed up
    4) Flashed ICS ROM mentioned in the article
    5) Phone did NOT reboot back into recovery after installation so:
    6) Wiped data / cache / dalvik
    7) Reboot

    This thing is even faster than CyanogenMod was on my phone (and that was lightning fast compared to the stock ROM I was using before that.

    Can’t wait for a final release!

  308. Just flashed from 2.3.5 XXJVS to ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta2.
    All worked fine.
    There was no need to wipe cache and data again like explained in the step by step guide.
    First boot took abouth 5 minutes.

    Could not connect to network (3 Austria) till i found:
    System Settings – Security – Set up SIM card lock – Lock SIM card
    There i typed in my pin code and box was unchecked.
    Now Network and 3G/HSDPA works.
    Don`t know why dataconnection works, i did not configure something.
    It still works 😉

    THX for this ROM, now i will start testing all functions.
    Android4 is like a completly new OS when you used 2.x.x bevore.
    And its very fast too!!

  309. So far so good.. However cannot Install some apps from Market and get the following message: “Your device isn’t compatible with this item”… Need skype badly.. n facebook too :p 🙁

  314. Can not install many of the apps from android market. inc. facebook, skype.. Is this any solution for this.!!

    1. I updated over the beta2 which I got from this post, and its working brilliantly. Everything is working as its supposed to.

    2. Test it and tell us if it works everything. Try to install skype, facebook, viber and many applications?

    3. Market has been updated to latest version 3.4.4 in latest version RC1. I have installing the apps you said an d it works flawlessly. So, go ahead and install it without any worries. Post has been updated 🙂

    4. Installed Skype, Facebook, G+, MX Video Player, and many more apps already. Works without any issues.

      Basically, all the features work. There can be bugs, theres always bugs. However, didnt face any crashes yet. 

      You should try it 🙂 I never loved my SGS i9000 this much before. Its just brilliant! I recommand it for daily use. 😀

  315. Hello all, 

    RC1 is out — you should try this. Guide and link has been updated. Hope you like the latest version. Thank PaulForde (the developer of RC1) for this 🙂

    1. Yesterday i have upgraded my phone with Beta 2..

      Now to upgrade RC1, should i downgrade to GB2.3.5 or i can upgrade from Beta 2 ?  What are the steps i should do.Thnx 

    2. Just flash the latest version from recovery using ‘install zip from sdcard’ option. No need to go back to android 2.3.

  318. If I updated the ICS Custom Rom then If I want to change it back to a firmware rom, Can I do this?

    1. Theres an updated kernel with the wi-fi fix. It was released alongside with the ICS 4.0.3 RC 1. You can just apply it using the CWM 🙂 

    2. I posted a link here with the Kernel fix, It said “Need Moderator Approval” or something, lol. So till its approved, if you are in a hurry, you can check the xda dev forum link I posted earlier and follow the thread. The link for the fix is there. 🙂

  319. I’m already running CM7, so i just flash from there right?
    How far away do you think CM9 is??

    Do you think it is worth waiting for the finished CM9 or try this?

  327. when i enter in install zip:
    choose zip from sdcardapply/sdcard/update zip
    toggle singnature
    toggle script asserts
    choose zip from internal sd card

    1. See updated step 14 above. I hope you’ve downloaded the kernel and transferred to to your sdcard as said in step 3 and 4. Flashing the kernel is easy, just like you flashed the rom in step 13. There should be no problem.

  328. For those who fail to at the step 11 (like me, where my flash was a failure and it keep rebooting), here is what u got to do:

    1)  Remove the battery, put it back, boot into recovery mode, do the above steps no 9 and 10, and then flash the kernel file (not the rom file) using “install zip from sdcard” option from recovery and wait till it finish updating/installing.
    2)  After flashing the kernel succeed, go back, DON’T REBOOT but select “install zip from sdcard” . This time, select the ROM file like the step 11.
    3) Wait till the unpacking and installation complete and ONLY THEN YOU REBOOT your phone.
    4) Sit back and enjoy the new firmware. 🙂

    1. See updated step 14 above. I hope you’ve downloaded the kernel and transferred to to your sdcard as said in step 3 and 4. Flashing the kernel is easy, just like you flashed the rom in step 13. There should be no problem.

  331. For those who fail to at the step 11 (like me, where my flash was a failure and it keep rebooting), here is what u got to do:

    1)  Remove the battery, put it back, boot into recovery mode, do the above steps no 9 and 10, and then flash the kernel file (not the rom file) using “install zip from sdcard” option from recovery and wait till it finish updating/installing.
    2)  After flashing the kernel succeed, go back, DON’T REBOOT but select “install zip from sdcard” . This time, select the ROM file like the step 11.
    3) Wait till the unpacking and installation complete and ONLY THEN YOU REBOOT your phone.
    4) Sit back and enjoy the new firmware. 🙂

  333. It seems that to flash this RC1 rom I need to flash from 2.3.4 into 2.3.5 and then root it, and the flash the RC1 thru CWM. Is there a way to flash 4.0 thru Odin without rooting? I have never done rooting.

    1. Don’t worry. Follow the guide and you’ll be fine. As for what you asked, there is no other way.

  334. Finally, after 2 days of sleepless night, I managed to make it ! First I have made some mistakes which turned my phone unstable.
    Below is the succeeded restoration steps .

    *** Backed up all my contacts/data with ‘myBackup’ app (I had an unstable ‘Ice cream’ running at that time) to external SD Card and removed it to keep safe.

    1) Flashed  XWJVZ_2.3.6 using Odin
    2) Rooted with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS
       – here I have got a fresh rooted 2.3.6 Android running
    3) Flashed CyanogenMode-7 from boot log menu (all the following steps are done through boot log menu only). Somewhere read ‘CyanogenMode’ is good to do before going to ‘icecream’. (I think, it is a custom theme version of 2.3.7 Android)
       – now ready to go for ICS.
    4) Flashed ICS_4.0.3_r1-RC1-i9000-reupload.zip
       – here I got ICS fully functional with 3g (no need to run 3g_fix), but there is no WIFI.
    5) To fix WIFI, flashed FuguModICS_GT-I9000_update.zip kernal
       – Now everything works. Next I want root the ICS. I need it mainly because ‘myBackup’ app runs only on rooted phone.
    6) To root the phone, flashed Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

    *** Installed ‘myBackup’ from Google Market, ran restore.
    My phone is now fully functional with ICS with all my contacts and other history !

    If you have a stable 2.3.6 or similar you can start from step 3.

    Thanks Kapil and all other Techies to bring this great piece to light.

    1. Okay okay… I will update the link in guide myself now. Even though I’ve said there quite clearly that one need to flash the kernel to fix WiFi.
      Thanks for highlighting this further up 😉

  335. Update  has been done. Everything works.. But the problem is that it is not as fast as the other versions. If you compare with 2.3.5 this works very slow. Why it is like this. It should work faster. Have i missed something during the upgarde???

  336. I currently have last beta version of ICS installed and can’t seem to connect my phone to my computer in order to transfer the new ROM.  What am I doing wrong?

    1. Don’t worry, I’m clearly an idiot. Mounted using CWM and transferred. Thanks for the excellent tutorial. ICS is awesome. 

    2. Its a bug in the beta. You can download the files from your phone directly, and it will be saved at the download folder. Then install from there.

      Thats what I did and it works fine

  337. It seems that to flash this RC1 rom I need to flash from 2.3.4 into 2.3.5 and then root it, and the flash the RC1 thru CWM. Is there a way to flash 4.0 thru Odin without rooting? I have never done rooting.

  339. I’m currently using MIUI 1.12.9 on my SGS.

    Can I flash this ROM over MIUI?

    And, is this ROM stable enough & fast enough for daily use?

  352. Dear Kapil,

    First of all, thanks for the guide.
    However, i got 2 issue here that i need your assistance:

    1) it seems that i can’t access to my external sd. Tried installing astro file manager and android file manager. Both failed to connect to the external. USB connection to the pc is the only way that i can do that.

    2) for the typing, how can i get the ‘copy/paste’ option?

    thanx.

    1. 1. Isn’t it the external_sd folder in your normal sdcard folder? Look for that.

      2. I didn’t get your ques. Btw, every file manager has a copy paste option. Just long press on file. Either it’s directly visible or is under the edit option. I hope that’s what you’re asking for.

  353. nice rom!
    thx!

    however there are two things i cant really get to work properly..

    syncronising is auto switching off after about 5 minutes (like for google, whatsapp)
    and the idea behind the new contact layout.. google contacts and phone contacts in seperate apps?
    i dont find a “show only contacts with number” option..

    any ideas?

    merry xmas and thx!

  379. help,kapil,no radio,no google +,wifi still not working after several flashes with kernel ROM.help

  380. help,kapil,no radio,no google +,wifi still not working after several flashes with kernel ROM.help

  381. Hello everyone,

    I decide to follow Sam guide (using XXJVT or any stable android 2.3.6) instead of XXJVS and it works fine for me. XXJVS caused a lot of ‘force close’ and i can’t connect to my HM100 blue tooth headset. With XXJVT (or equivalent), it become a lot stable and hardly my program crash up. 3G or HSDPA signal is receiving is so much better with ICS.

    If your previous installation failed, flash your phone with a fresh XXJVT and before you flash CM7 ROM, please format your internal sd card (usb storage) to wipe out any left over folder from the failed installation. Please be remind that even you flash the fresh 2.3.6 ROM using Odin which automatically set re-partition when u select a pit file, it will not remove the previous installation folder which might caused conflict to the system.

    And to kapil, refer to my previous queries which u answer as follows:

    “1. Isn’t it the external_sd folder in your normal sdcard folder? Look for that.2. I didn’t get your ques. Btw, every file manager has a copy paste option. Just long press on file. Either it’s directly visible or is under the edit option. I hope that’s what you’re asking for. ”

    Well, here is my findings:
    1) External sd card = I tried to explore CM7 before installing ICS. The system from CM7 had changed the external sd card string from ‘ext_sd’ inside the sd_card main folder to ’emmc’ in the ‘root’ folder. Try and browse with astro or any file manager and u will find it. But still, I can’t change the default memory location from internal (usb) to the external sd.

    2) I was referring to the typing cursor. Previously, when u type, u can select an option to ‘copy/cut/paste’ whenever u click the typing cursor. It seems that the option didn’t working/appear in the CM7 and ICS ROM version.

    On top of that, I find that I can’t make a video call through my phone network? Is it still not functioning? Or do i need to install the Face Detection attachment? Front camera works fine during photo taking and so video call should be ok. I even tried engage a video call from my wife handphone, the results I can answer the call but can’t see my wife face. 🙁

    Anyway, thank you for taking your time to read my comment and my shared experience. 🙂

    1. Glad to know that my steps helped you.
      The UI of ICS is great and 100%, but the usability is not :(. So I am going to rollback. I found some problems specific to me, probably.

      1) I missed the good old alarm clock
      2) The WIFI tethering is not working
      3) Some quick shortcuts are not there (viz., disable data connection from power menu)
      4) Built-in file browser
      5) Built-in swype keyboard is missing (I eagerly need this)
      6) Radio is missing
      7) Visualizations for the music player is missing (wallpaper visualization is still there, but with bugs)
      8) The screen auto brightness has only 2 steps

      Sure, I will come back to ICS once a good stable release is available.

  383. Hi Kapil,Teams or Everyone,

    I’m new to Android and I’m using Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 which is still on 2.3.3. I read the latest news that Samsung has announced that Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab will not be upgraded to Android 4. It says that Samsung’s TouchWiz interface on Galaxy S and Tab takes up too much space. So, will this ICS update be running smoothly together with TouchWiz? Sorry if this question is too basic for all of you 🙂 but I definitely will take my risk to update it to ICS. Thanks for you all and have a great holiday season. Moh

    1. Same with me, I have Galaxy S GT-I9000, wanna upgrade to ICS!
      But if it doesn’t work out can I roll back to my current OS? And how?

  407. Installed this yesterday.. Started charging for the second complete cycle of charging and draining. So can’t comment on the battery life.. The only problem I found as of now is that I can’t add my facebook account. Apart from that, everything is working perfectly fine.

    There are some minor issues though. like there is no T9 in the Dialer and also no contacts show up when we are dialing the number. In the people app, there is no option to only display contacts with phone numbers. But I guess these things were a part of Touchwiz and if so, I don’t mind. 🙂

    1. I can… I’ve been using it for 4 days now… Have to admit the first day I was playing a lot with it, but that changed the two days following (first and second Christmas day ;P) But the drainage was still quite fast. Normally my screen uses the most power, then WiFi then maybe Bluetooth then Android it self.

      Now Android seems to dominate the drainage, are there any useless cycles on the background? Perhaps monitoring tools or something?

      The phone also tends to get warm/hot sometimes. I couldn’t determine which application was responsible for that.

      Except for the lockscreen, everything seems to work great! (There is a lag before the touch capability works.)

    2. It looks like it has a connection between “Data over mobile networks” option. Disable it, and your phone wont loose more than 1%-2% for a duration of 1 hour, and importantly, “Android OS” wont use more than 5-10% of the battery. Just for testing purposes, i kept it disabled and ran almost 4 days with ordinary mobile usage (calls/text/video/music/camera) without data transfer (Facebook/Gmail/Gtalk etc).

  442. Dear Team of Awesome Developers!!! i love this update and freaked alllllllllllllllllllllll my near and dear ones with this Upgrade To Android 4.0, but sadly though i had to get my fone back to Gingerbread 2.3.5… The BUG/PROBLEMS i faced were:-
    1. The Start Screen is not the same as shown in the video, i mean i get an android wrapped in icecream Flying in Rainbow colors on the screen, instead of the ANDROID written on the startup screen.
    2. And the main issue is when someone gives me calls, they just cannot hear my voice properly… i thought i made a mistake in the install procedure, i repeated the procedure and still i had issues…….

    Please suggest me something, i really LOVE this upgrade! and i want to use it.

    Awaiting a Reply, Thanks in advance!

    1. your external sd has been moved to emmc on the root folder of the internal sd. You can get there with ES fileexplorer (free). Dont know for sure if you need root or not.

    2. is there any way that we revert it back to the way it was before? Like the “My File” app? i tried restoring the app using Titanium backup to no avail. Without file managers like Astro and ES, the external SD card is invisible. How to i make it appear on Ol File Manager.

  456. Hi~
    The Rom is great,
    however, I have found a problem on my i9000.
    After I have flash the RC2.1,
    Every time if my phone is switched off and when I plug in my charger,
    the phone will automatically switch on by itself.
    Could anyone help me out about it?
    I just want to power off my phone and recharge it.

      still it will auto-switch on itself……

    1. if you save contacts to your google account rather than the actual phone itself, it backs them up everytime you enable sync

    1. No it is not a must. Most of the people just say it worked better with doing that first.
      But i dont realy know why.

  498. IF I TRY EXACTLY LIKE HERE IT IS WRITTEN..IT WILL BE OKAY? (WIFI AND SO ON?

    PLS QUICK RESPOND!

    1. It Should. They fixed most of the problems. I just flashed it and everything works fine. 

      If not you will still have the option to flash back.

  499. What about unlocked fones. I have galaxy-s 19000 orage france unlocked with gingerbread.xxjvp installed. Will it remain unlocked after upgrad to this rom.

    Thanks

    Plus, I could not find any list of bugs ( just to see if they are worth worrying abt or not)

    1. So, I installed this rom and works perfect. Fone remained unlocked and it turned out that I had everything available (root, CWM etc) so just copied rom and flashed. It took 5 minutes tops J

      Thanks everyone who made this beautiful ROM available to us.

      As far OS itself 

      It has a great simplicity and decency. Widget preview is amazing. Web browser is way better. Recent apps preview is helpful. Folders are great but not as convenient as “Go Launcher” ones which are not also available on home screens but also in apps pages plus they have limited space (for a person like me who runs SGS like a PC, its really inconvenient) but still better than nothing. No “My Files” ??? Could not find many other features too i.e. home screens switching and setting default home screen. No office app too. External storage mount point changed making things complex. Apps page is forced sorted by name (or I could not find a way to customize it). Long press an icon in apps page gives you uninstall option (which I think is new or did not notice before). I liked old YouTube widget which let you record directly to YouTube. New one is just beauty.

      Overall, It has its charm but I expected + all features of third party UIs like Go Launcher. It’s like a tradeoff for me now. Choose some options and give up some options 🙁

  570. HI, I did a copy from contacts with Kies but my samsung does not connect with kies after install 4.0.3 anymore. How can I get back the contacts?

    1. I installed 2.3.5 again and then I exported all contacts to *.vcf file (to internal sd) and then I installed ICS again and imported vcf file. ICS recognizes only vcf file. I have more than 1000 contacts and It was easier uninstall and install the software. 🙂

  573. A lot more needs to be done. I experienced these problems:
    1. Occasional system reboot
    2. Battery life dramatically reduced (by ~40%)
    3. Majority of user apps for power control (wifi, gps, autorotate etc.) doesn’t work
    4. Cant filter out contacts without phone number 
    5. … probably coming soon

    nevertheless good job, lot of good solutions. I would like to continue using ICS but buttery life is just ridiculous.

  574. I cannot say anything bad for battary but I have next problems: I cannot import contacts. Touch screen does not work so well like with 2.3.5. Phone book system is not so good.

But at the end I didn’t had red cat fish logo… something mixed between crocodile, duck, beaver and snake “Platypus” … so far so good! Okay.. but when I reach the starting screen my galaxy s is getting really slow… I need to spam hit something for like 10mins just to continue and I have error “Unfortuately, the process android.process.media has stoped” and I cant remove this message to get into the phone = … some help would be really appreciated! 😛

  582. Hi,
    I again flashed RC3.1 after flashing CM7 on my rooted XXJVS and for me every thing worked well but the WIFI. I was simply not able to enable wifi on my I9000 and the 3G speed was teribly slow. I did flash JVT modem but for no improvement. 
    Otherwise every other thing worked fine. No “android.process.media” errors and the navigation was smooth. I even like the all new look of the GUI and also made the FM radio app work by installing Spirit FM app from market.
    However since I cant live without Wifi (obviously no one can), so I will have to revert back to XXJVS 2.3.5

    Can anybody share how to fix the wifi issue on RC3.1
    regards,

  615. Hey!!

    Thanks for the well instructed guide!
    Everything works except for the WI-FI.
    I have read the comments below and your guide.
    In the instructions you say for the WI-FI to work you need to 
    re-install the kernel file and in the comments has been said that 
    there is no kernel file!I have googled other solutions but nothing works… can this be fixed?thanks again anyway!!

    1. Do you know why it`s are unable to Galaxy S Plus? It’s the same phone but just that galaxy S plus has better processor or what? 😉

  621. Hello, here in Brazil the Galaxy S GTi9000B came with digital tv and FM radio. This ROM keeps digital tv and FM radio working?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. This might work but I’m not sure FM radio and digital tv thing. But I think there is a separate version specific for i9000B out there, which may have these two things working, but nothing for sure.

  624. is this upgrade compatible with the galaxy 5.0 mp3 player? anyone? wikipedia says that the mp3 player is technically the same.

  625. I did everything like described above … but my Galaxy S stucks at first boot logo. Aftre that it’s not possible to start cwm. Only download mode is possible and I have to flash gingerbread again. I tried it 3 times now without success. Could anyone helkp me please?

    1. Did you install CM7 first? Also, you need to flash the Android 4.0 Rom file two times. Did you do it?

    2. Hi Oli, Do this – when stuck at first boot logo, pull out the battery and use 3 button combo to switch on go directly in Recovery, flash the ROM again. This should work. remember phone takes quite long to boot first time.

    3.  Mine did this too. It just reboots in a loop before it is possible to do the second flash of the Rom. During first flash it reboots back into recovery but the phone reboots every 5 seconds and is unresponsive. I just flashed 2.3.6 again and rooted again and then tried again with 4.0.3 but it has done exactly the same this time too.

    4.  I should say the problem is occurring at 4:05 of that 9:38 youtube video above. I don’t get the modified Galaxy S screen, just endless perpetual loop of rebooting.

    5. Same problem here, a real bummer. will try reflashing after i wipe data again. currently back on 2.3.6

  630. every thing works excellent but it would be better if it gets official version and possible to connect to internet from phone to computer.

  631. Just upgraded to ICS using your guide, with next to no experience in flashing before, and it worked like a charm. Thank you very much for your efforts, much appreciated!

  632. keeps saying ‘unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped’ and then closes.

  638. If I install it now, will I be able to the things I usually do? Like internet, youtube, mp3, sms, …
    I remeber when I installed beta2, I couldn’t acces my files, will this work now?

    1. Kernel file isn’t required any longer.. so forget about that. You’re good to go without kernel. The newer version of this rom take care of everything and separate flashing of kernel isn’t required.

  639. Hi,
    Good tutorial you have here. I followed it thru and managed to get 4.0 running on my Galaxy S. 

    NICE!

  640. For two days I put the Android ICS on my samsug galaxy i9000 so far everything works perfectly with one problem can not store pictures /  applications on my external Mirco SD card (no longer sees it as the previous version andoid the external sd) but sees him as emmc, what can  I do in this case?
    As emmc is available to read music / documents almost everything on it but I can not store enithing from the phone on it . I tri to move from the phone memory with cut and paste am the card and is not working
    Do you have a solution for to this problem?

    1. I guess it’s okay then. Right?

      You know, since this is not official firmware from Samsung, so there will be some bugs here and there.

    2.  yes it ok…..i would like to use the external sd but if is not possible i will use it for store from pc am it 🙁

    Can I skip step 1 and 2 (flashing XXJVU) and directly install ICS on my XWJW1 firmware?

    Thanks for help.

    1. If you have clockworkmod recovery installed, you can skip first two steps. But if it doesn’t work, install again without skipping two steps.

    2. Thanks heaps Kapil. Like your quick replies.

      Just wondering if you could please tell me which is the best place to download and follow the instructions to install clockworkmod from? (or if u can paste a link here. thanks.)

    3. You know, better use the links in first two steps above, which will get you xxjvu and cwm on xxjvu.

  667. how can i fix my wi-fi? it’s allways turning on and of automatically. i’m using Galaxy S I9000

    1. Install version 1.2 of AOKP rom for Galaxy S — it fixes the WiFi issue.

      nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s-gets-android-4-0-based-aokp-rom/

    2. Which rom are you using? I don’t think you’re using the rom above. Aren’t you using AOKP Ice Cream Sandwich rom?

    3. i don’t know beacause i’m a noob in this lol i just follow the steps and i sucessfly instaled android 4.0.3 but i’m with that ‘little’ problem

    4. thanks for the help man, but the only problem is that i don’t have the cwm installed, i already installed the rom manager but due to the wi-fi problems i can’t install the cwm 

    5. i have to install the 2.3.5 version of android and do a backup of cwm and than install the 4.0.3 again?

    6. If you installed the rom above, you already have cwm recovery, just flash the version 1.2 of AOKP rom on it.

    7. i had the same problem mate restart the phone then go to activate google account and leave it (make sure you are not connected to the mobile internet) then it should come up with wifi, and the modems it has found.

    8. Dear all..
      for wi fi issues download this file wifi zip file from here “http://www.2shared.com/file/Ij1xMoDP/WifiFix.html”
      copy this file to ur mass storage/SD card —then go to recovery mode — select install from sd card and select this wifi zip file and let the recovery install it for u…

      enjoy WIFI problem fixed

    1. Have you updated to latest version of the rom above?

      Anyway, another great ICS rom for Galaxy S is available, it’s AOKP rom. Give it a try, it’s what I’m using right now, too. Luink – nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s-gets-android-4-0-based-aokp-rom/

      And I can confirm camera is working in AOKP rom.

  672. I have installed ICS 🙂 working sweet!!!

    In android 2.3.x, there used to be a shortcut in the shortcut bar on the top which had wi-fi, gps, silent, rotation etc. I can see a shortcut bar on the desktop in ICS, but vibration mode icon is not there.

    Any one knows how to add a shortcut to put phone to silent/vibration mode?

    1. The instructions here are great but alas the lag with ICS is so frustrating I reverted back to 2.3.6. My i9000 is back to normal and much faster without ICS. 

  675. any FM radio will be available soon? I have installed spirit FM radio, but not work on I9000 ICS 🙁

  676. Hello,

    Thanks for the Rom, it works great for me!
    Do you know where i can find an FM radio?
    The Android market only contains web radio….

    1. Thank you, I tried this radio one day ago, but i had set a bad configuration …
      But now it works fine.
      I found on a forum the configuration:
      – regional band: put your land
      – audio – method: GalaxyS ALSA

    2. This App is not safe for SGS – the developer claims it.
      Any chance for a radio in the near future ?

  688. Hi, I think I have a similar issue like Dartagnan…….Currently my SGS I9000 is running on ICS which I installed as per instructions given here.Well everything went fine, however now my free/available memory is around 50-100M/326M which was previously 120-190M/313M when I was on 2.2 Froyo. Can anyone tell me whether this is normal for ICS and if anything could be done to increase the free memory?.And also I could see that now the battery charge lasts only a day since I installed this ICS. Any suggestions regarding this?. Please help me to solve these issues. Thanks in advance for reading my message. Cheers.

  702. hi , I did this ,everything was ok, i dont hav Fm-radio, i cant copy contacts to phone memory,it goes to gmail and there s no facebook sync in account and sync 🙁

  703. If anybody has problem with Market ( isn’t connecting with 3G Internet), then first try to connect with WIFI internet, all the apps, then you will be able to use 3G with apps. I figured it out by this.

    I installed on my Galaxy S the 4.0.Everything was fine.Unfortunately the 2-3g does not work, and get the required settings from service provider.. Unfortunately, I did not go down the APN2 settings. 🙁

    Do you have any solution to get back to use a 2-3g-t?

    my e mail is iqrar086@yahoo:disqus .com

    1. Nope, I guess. If gingerbread firmwares of Galaxy s i9000 worked for you, this might too.

      But before trying, make sure you have gingerbread firmware for your phone to go back, in case it doesn’t work out.

  731. Hi, all the download links are updated? I’ve read apx all the comments below and i see that some guys are having problems (bugs with wi-fi and so on) what version of ICS should i install? One month ago i’ve updated my firmware to 2.3.5 xxjvt, as i already read here in some comments it should be work right? sry for my bad english, thanks.

    1. Nope, I guess. If gingerbread firmwares of Galaxy s i9000 worked for you, this might too.

      But before trying, make sure you have gingerbread firmware for your phone to go back, in case it doesn’t work out.

  737. instaled it and it works, unable to sync it with Kies,  how to connect it to PC what driver to use?

    1. dear theandroidsoul,

      I’m an idiot and should have read more comments firsts!
      Thank you for everything, it’s all working now!

  738. The stock browser is not working “Unfortunately, Browser has stopped” nor does Dolphin HD work or any other internet browser

    1. Did you restore everything from titanium backup? Don’t restore system apps on new firmware or rom.

    2. I did restore all my apps from Titanium, but not the stock internet, everytime I try to launch it, it crashes 🙁

    3. Hi Kapil. I finally figured it out. I used ES Task Manager to erase all cache and force stopped ‘internet’. That seems to do the job. Thanks for your speedy reply’s. Any news on the Auto Brightness issue yet? Thanks

    4. Hi Kapil. Good news, the auto brightness just started working all by it self. I did not do anything to make it work or any updates…

  739. I’ve check my APN settings, everything is as it should be, but both my wireless and mobile data is competely dead

  740. UPDATE: Firewall was preventing dolphin to connect, but something is seriously wrong with the stock browser “unfortunately, Browser has stopped” even before the program opens

  741. instaled it and it works, unable to sync it with Kies,  how to connect it to PC what driver to use?

  757. Hello
    I can’t make Access Point Work as WiFi Hotspot. I installed the Wifi patch but when I try to activate “Wi-Fi Access Point” it switches off immediatelly. 🙁
    Any suggestions?

    1.  I have just check on mine and it seems to b working fine. maybe try and reinstall again maybe you did something wrong on the install.

  758. Mine kept looping after step 10 but solved by removing bat and now seems to be installing atm :-S

  759. ok it installed fine  could someone direct me in the right direction to get the most out of my phone with this new os performance and maybe something to make it look the nuts 😀 

  760. Hi
    Thanks for testing. Did you install the WIFI patch ?
    About me, I installed ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 then Semaphore because of very slow behaviour then Datafix and WIFI patches… All is working well unless AP so I won’t reinstall it immediatelly 🙂

    1.  i have only done wats been said above and have had nothing go wrong yet. have not done data fix or anything. Is semaphore a lagfix? quite new to this still learning all the dif addons lol

    2. You can install this rom if you want – nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s-gets-android-4-0-based-aokp-rom/ – it’s for galaxy S and based on ICS. Is better than the above.

    3.  so i just place it in my sd and then do the same as i did to install ICS? and can this be done over the top of ICS or do i need to uninstall ect ect. kinda new to this so excuse my lack of know how atm.

    4.  i shell give it a whirl and see what happens 🙂 what about lagfix what would b the best to use to boost performance? like voodoo or something?

    5.  Oh cool right, well just trying CM7 then will give it a go and see wat dif is. thanks for your help Kapil 😀

    6. Nah…. maybe Glitch kernel for Galaxy S can do that.. search for it.. but I won’t suggest you overclocking it.

  761. Plz can someone direct me to the best mod for better performance on my galaxy s I9000 and with nutty looking shells, and how can i get Black Market Apps? all i need is links guys plz help a newbie and also keep me intrested in rooting. iv used google but leads me all over the place lol Thanks

  796. THANK U SO MUCH!! ICS is much better than 2.3.6!!
    it runs smooth, looks nice, faster.

    btw: was very usefull guide, keep up the good work!!

  797. Hey guys I’m at step 10 and I’ve done everything perfectly so far. (i9000 international XXJVU 2.3.6) Used the ICS4.2 zip file for i9000. Done every step correct but however at step 10 when you have to do the first flash it’s been taking over 45min now. How long does it take to flash the first time? It keeps going back to Galaxy S GT-i9000 logo screen and then to Google logo and then to some android installing code/lines. but then back to Galaxy GT-i9000 logo and this process has been going on for over 45min. Please help thanks 🙂

    1. same happens to me ..however take the battery out (because you cant switch off your phone) .. put back again and do step 6 and 11 (skip step 7,8,9,10) ..its works for me 🙂 .. good luck 

    2. I forgot to reply back. But I managed it by just pressing the reboot key combo volume+power+homescreen to go back to the installer menu. and from there on everything was blue and I continued next step. phone is now working great on android 4.0.3 however I do have a thing to add: I use 2 batteries for my GT-i9000 because I use my phone alot 1 battery is sometimes not enough so whenever I run out of battery I like to switch to another one and get full battery again! thats why a removeable battery in ur phone is so awesome! however when u do this with android 4.0.3 ROM it still works but many applications just get a error like: android.process.something has stopped working…this is for gmail application, market, video, gallery, stuff like that.

  813. Hello guys! I upgraded to 4.0.3 and it was running great the first day, but as today came, it started to reboot uncontrollably and everytime it reboots, it goes to the recovery mode 🙁 any suggestions please? 🙁

  814. Hi there! My phone does not have Step 9, the file Wipe Dalvik Cache is not there and when i proceed to install the the zip file it says “E: signature verificatio failed”. Please advise.

    1. You don’t have clockworkmod recovery installed. Get that first. Don’t ignore first two steps above, regarding xxjvu installation and then installing clockworkmod recovery and root on xxjvu.

    2. Thanks Kapil! Works perfect now!

      Just a quick question….can i install the Face Unlock, Photo Editor and New Lock Screen on my phone now since it’s operating Android 4.0.3?

        Just a quick question….can i install the Face Unlock, Photo Editor and New Lock Screen on my phone now since it’s operating Android 4.0.3?

  818. Hi there! My phone does not have Step 9, the file Wipe Dalvik Cache is not there and when i proceed to install the the zip file it says “E: signature verificatio failed”. Please advise.

  819. I’ve got one question. Can the phone connect to the computer. Because now I have a different ics 4.0 for my galaxy s and I can’t connect it anymore to the computer.  

    1. Yes you can. After disabling “USB debugging” in the settings I could still connect as a mass storage device. Keep in mind that the (external) SD-card can now be accessed through the folder “emmc”. 

    2. How can i connect my telephone as a mass storage device. What do I have to press? Because i Have disabled usb debugging and I still can’t connect.

  822. Ah nvm I found out how to get wifi working, settings had just moved. Btw if it keeps rebooting all the time after the first rom install, just remove battery and restart it. I think this problem only appears if u got a external sd not sure tho.

  852. I used ICSSGS 4.0.3 MR1 RC4.2, my wifi is not working, apart from it, it is awesome. Kindly help me to fix this issue.

    1. Semaphore is a custom kernel, like CF-Root. To install it, simply flash it from Clockworkmod recovery. It’s available both for Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich roms on Galaxy S. Get the ICS version of Semaphore kernel here – http://www.semaphore.gr/downloads/gt-i9000-ics

      Download it and transfer to sdcard, and then flash it using recovery mode’s ‘install zip from sdcard’ option. To enter recovery mode, power off phone, and press and hold these 3 keys together – Volume Up + Home + Power.

  862. hi, my phone didn’t went to recovery mode after step 10 and i can no longer go in recovery mode.. what am i supposed to do? if i don not find an answer i will re-instal 2.3.6 xxxjvu

    1. And it started in ICS? Hold down your power button, select ”Reboot” and there ”recovery” and you get easy access there, good luck! 🙂 And remember to root second time, but make 7,8,9 again before it. Worked for me like that

  873. Excellent, technically speaking works like a charm on my Galaxy S !
    I encountered two issues that I needed to resolve (and actually DID resolve) in order to make it work for my personal situation and not having to revert to Gingerbread:

    ISSUE 1. KIES sync no longer works, and I’m used to syncing contacts that way between my SGS and Outlook 2010.
    SOLUTION 1: Use MyPhoneExplorer to do this (Free and it works brilliantly !)

    ISSUE 2: SWYPE no longer works on ICS, and I truly became a big fan and am using it all the time.
    SOLUTION 2: Register and Install SWYPE Beta for ICS from http://beta.swype.com/. After following the detailed instructions, Swype is now back !

    Hope this helps anyone…

    1. UPDATE 17h50: Unfortunately, I still have an issue left, being the fact that I cannot download DUTCH for Swype Beta. It keeps showing the white spinning circle as I choose the option to download additional languages.
      (OK, in the meantime, let’s stick to Swype in English or Spanish, and see if anything gets fixed in a new Beta or final release….)

    2. UPDATE 9u04: For some unknown reason and pretty much out of the blue the Language selection list appeared in Swype when I checked back after many hours of waiting. I then selected Dutch for download from the language list, queued it for download and it seemingly got stuck again during the installation saying ‘Installing Dutch….’ (or something similar). That seemed to crash :-((.  However, after rebooting my SGS and checking again, Swype Dutch got installed and I’m using it now !

  874. Hi,
     I am on onecosmic rc4.2, stable and smooth. no issues till now.

      ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000” to ”android” folder, and then you can find it easily when booting! 🙂

  895. guys we need 2.3.6 gingerbread then we do this? or through any gingerbread version

  896. guys we need 2.3.6 gingerbread then we do this? or through any gingerbread version

  897. I have no signal at all after installing ICS 4.0.3, whats going on? should i flash back to old rom?

  898. everyone dont install this rom because it has no calling signal so you cant make any calls or send and recieve txt messages, it looks great but without the capability to make any calls its completly useless, ive reverted back to xxjvu and phone signal back working again 

    1. Hi, you can make calls etc, just take your back case open, drop the battery, take sim out. boot to recovery (HOME+VOLUMEUP+POWER) Then do the 7,8,9 and 10. again. Worked for me! 🙂

  899. my phone got stuck after step 10 reboots but froze on the samsung screen waited for 30 min and removed battery and tried to rebooted but i still got squat any suggestions

    1. Remove battery and place it back. Then, boot into recovery mode, and do factory reset and wipe cache. Then, reboot.

      If it still doesn’t boot up, do the above again and flash the ICS rom again. Then reboot.

    2. I hope you’re doing it right…. anyway, go to download mode and flash xxjvu to go back to Android 2.3 Gingerbread to get phone working. Find the link for xxjvu above.

    3. it just gets stuck at setup connection downloaded two gingerbread versions and both of them are stuck at that point btw thanks for ur help

  900. This is the most detailed, trustworthy description of the process. I managed to do it, although I never rooted a phone in my life previously. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

  912. ok so, thanks for the great work, but i have some suggestions to make this rom better. 

    1. at notification “slide” there is no status bar like it is at every other custon and official roms.2. there is more home pages, and you cant remove them
    3. there is no notes app
    4. when you get a sms, the soft buttons starts to glow, and it doesnt stop
    5. you cant make folders, not in homescreen, as so in menu

    If you may please fix this things it would be really the best

    thanks, fbo

    1. you can make folders, you just simply need to drag and drop apps top of others! 🙂 You can do this too to your ”dock”. And for notes, you can simply download a new app for it in google market, right?

  913. hi guys. i just flashed the rom and he is just amazing smooth and cool. 
    but after a few hours of regular use he is just rebooting by himself. sometimes he is rebooting and sometimes reboot into CWM. WTF???? what should i do???? 
    plzzz help 🙂

    1. AOKP is a different rom, than this one above. It’s also based on Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.0. But has too many customizations and options to tweak, which is why I love it.

    2. Milestone is the version name, not phone name. It’s a little bit confusing, i know. So, yes, it’s for SGS.

I tried with the manual and automatic network selection . It simply returns error “unable to connect at this time…try again later”

    1. Thanks Kapil,

      I had not followed the step #2. I had directly started onto step #3 with older version of gingerbread. Now I have XXJVU and Build 28 from AOKP. Enjoying the ice cream 😛

      Thanks Again 🙂

  931. its nice but drains the batery like crasy. And the signal is fluctuation a lot. so i sticked with XXJVU

  932. First-time flasher alert! Searched around and this looks like a good tutorial to follow.

    Will it work on my stock and unrooted GT-i9000, firmware 2.3.5, baseband I9000NEJVB, build GINGERBREAD.NEVJK ??

    Also, once you’ve got CWM.. say I don’t like this ROM anymore, can I go on to install any ROM I fancy?

    I don’t want to do anything stupid!
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Brilliant! Thanks for fast response. Just another quick question, will there be any issues using ROM Manager to further flash new ROMs? I realise that ROM Manager comes with CWM but this install puts it on your device – will there be any compatibility issues or anything?

      Apologies for all the questions, I’m new to this and want to make sure I get it all right!

    2. You’ve got cwm recovery with this rom. Use that to flash roms. To boot into cwm recovery, switch off phone and then, hold Volume Up and Home and Power keys together until Galaxy S logo shows up. Then release them all keys and your phone will boot into recovery mode.

  933. Great job Kapil and very clear tutorial !!!

    Any chance you’ll get the FM radio working ?

  934. Why can not connect with KIES?????
    I can’t return my contacts back. 
    Can someone tell me, how to fix this problem.

    also.. there is no VOICE RECORDER, i can’t find SD CARD and VOLUME is quitly than compared with previos android 2.3.5

    TNX

    1. I return contacts back, with converting from spb to vfc
      i fix the problem with VOLUME setings

      but i can’t still connect to kies…. why???

    2. Because this rom is not from Samsung, so you can’t connect to Kies as long as you use this one. Btw, you can go back to Gingerbread by flashing any Samsung firmware, like XXJVU, and get the Kies connectivity.

      Btw, you really use Kies that much and like it too? I never used Kies and didn’t thought one cares about Kies so much.

    3. hahaha there always someone must be 🙂
      only i was interested for this information, it’s not big deal.  🙂

      Now I return my contacts and do not need KIES realy 🙂

      BTW superb work and much more i like my phone, thanks to you. 😉

  944. Working great! I’m making a video of this to youtube, so ppl can check it out. I had wifi problems, but i resolved them by rooting it again, as it says in 12. So please remember to read and follow the instructions 😉 And if you’re missing old apps, you should just load some new in android market, right? (like one below said ”i’m missing voice recorder”) I think it was samsungs own app, so it got removed, just like samsung app market did. And before you use this, you should copy all your contacts to your SIM card. Battery has lasted over a day, so it doesn’t drain quickly. All apps are working great, dead space, speed test, panorama etc. downloaded from google market 🙂 ONLY THING that i found that didn’t work, was the street view on google maps, don’t know why. Everything else is functional so far 🙂 You should try this! Thx for the develops!

  948. Hi,

    If I want to go back to Gingerbread do I have to go back to XXJVU in steps 1 + 2 or can I just flash any ROM?

    Cheers in advance.

    1. Just flash xxjvu firmware, that will install Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread on your phone. Rooting it up to you, do it only if you need it.

  951. Hi,

    If I want to go back to Gingerbread do I have to go back to XXJVU in steps 1 + 2 or can I just flash any ROM?

    Cheers in advance.

  953. some bugs: Not every time can unlock with face(in the dark or to many light can’t found my face) and one more bug, it’s, can’t delete all contacts (only one) crap, how i delete 600 contacts? :/
    SGS GT-I9000

    1. Yeah, that facelock is not so good. Ofc it can’t detect your face in the dark. The front should have some kind of flash led that it would always work 🙂 And yeah, can’t delete all of your contacts at once. Or maybe you can. Because it should sync your contacts to your google account. So if you remove them from there, you should have no problem. Then just go to your contacts, select ‘bring the contacts” and then select the google account, where you have deleted the unnecessary contacts. Right?

  956. hi, after I updated to ICS for the version ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000.zip, I got everything perfect but missing a lot of things like, google navigation/maps, radio, camera app not working. How can I fix all those?

    1. Flash the AOKP rom on your current rom. That’s a little bit smoother and has lots of options. Btw, Google Maps should be there in this rom too. You flashed gapps too, right? That gets you all Google apps like gmail, google maps, etc. You can’t get radio app back, look for another one in android market / Google play store. And camera is working in AOKP.

  959. hey guys.i have just updated my SGS to ICS ice cream mode,and its quite nice.but i still have some prbls with it like usb prb when i connect to my pc,its not recognized and yes it is on debug mode.i tried searching for a solution on internet but windows couldnt find anything ,just asks for cd drive:O   also i to miss some apps,and i have red all the sugestions here about AOKP ROM,and i would like to switch to it if its possible.just one question :can i switch to AOKP while im on ice cream or i have to go back to gingerbread 2.3 XXJVU?thnks so much, Nicole

    1. Just turn off the debug mode (go to settings->developer options->USB debugging->click to disable) and then your phone should work with mass storage mode 🙂 Worked for me, cheers. 

    2. You can install AOKP directly on your current ICS rom. Btw, the method suggested by Fusionphysix should work for you too.

  962. hi! i like this, is working super! Nice work! keep it up!
    will u make some more when they update the android?
    Greetings from Sweden!

  963. Is there not support for swype keyboard? can’t find it in the language and input settings 

    1. Nope, but i have heard that u can install it again. Just search for it from google 🙂 Cheers

  968. Hey. I have installed it yesterday. It looks nice, although it is little bit slow sometimes, there is no task manager, sometimes the touch screen not reacting when you want to unlock it. I dont`t know why, but the battery aren’t so good at it was (I have charge it fully when installed the ICS)

    Any way it is nice. I hope there gonna be better one later, fully optimized.

    1. Aye. Yeah, it may be slow sometimes. u can quit programs by pressing the center button about 1-2sec. And then it should give u the apps that u have used recently. And then u just have to swipe them left or right to quit them. And then u gain more ram space again. And if u like, u should download task killer/task manager named app to it and give it a try 🙂 Cheers

    2. I have downloaded the task manager but it still not the same as Samsung`s original. There are settings in Developers Options to Don`t keep activities(destroy every activity as soon as the user leaves it) but it still not really helping. 
      P.S.I have found another problem. When the phone receive e-mail, sms when it is locked-blank screen the touch buttons light turn on and do not switch off till you read the message. That is annoying because the buttons light eat energy, 3-4 hours and your battery is dead.

    3. It’s not the same, but it does the same thing 🙂 And it’s not a problem, i think it’s part of this custom ROM. And the lights aren’t taking that much energy. If u have bad connection and your phone tries to search reliable network to connect, it takes huger amounts of battery life than some little led lights. And make sure that you don’t leave all of your apps pressing the home button, it leaves then like that, and that drains the battery. You should press the back button when leaving apps.

    1. Try to reinstall the Rom. When I have installed ICS the WIFI was not working. I have rebooted in recovery, made factory reset, cleared cash and it helped. (try this, if it not gonna help try to reinstall)

    2. Like Grotesque said, flash it again. Everything works after that. You should read the instructions more carefully 😉 Cheers 🙂

    1. No. Do not extract. Just transfer the zip to your GS.
      In recovery mode, use Volume keys to scroll up and down and power key to select an option. Use back key to go back. Go to advanced and flash the rom file.
      Select install zip from sdcard » choose zip from sdcard » browse through sdcard and select the rom file you downloaded in step 3 and transferred in step 4 above. Select “Yes – Install ______” on the next screen.

    1. What you mean? U can try to disable the external from settings, power off your phone, then open the back, dismount the sd and battery, wait about 20 sec. Then put all together and boot your phone. OI File manager should display your sd at upper corner if it’s functional, there’s a small sd card picture, click it. And if you can’t connect as mass-storage device to your computer, disable debugging from settings, under developer settings. Cheers 🙂

  989. Is SMS working properly?
    I couldnt recieve any a few months (?) ago.
    I would like to install it, if i can browse Internet, write SMS and call people. I think the most apps will work.

    1. Yep, working alright. Also, you can try the AOKP rom too, which is pretty good, and is based on Android 4.0.

    1. It’s ICS so it does have all features of ICS. But, it’s not compatible with Galaxy S Plus :/

    2. It depends on what device the developer has… usually, all developers have Galaxy S i9000, and Galaxy S Plus isn’t very popular… that’s why.. :/

  990. hello dear, I using GTi I 9000 (gingerbread 2.3.4) by Baseband version is I9000XXJVP. is it possible to upgrade form 2.3.4 to ICS using the same steps?

    1.  Should I first upgrade to 2.3.6 then to ICS 4.0 or directly form 2.3.4 to ICS? Thanks a lot buddy

    2.  Sorry to disturb you kapil…. One more query! Which CWM should I install for XXJVP? XXJVU Rom CWM will work on Gingerbread 2.3.4? Sorry to bother u bro..I am a new user 🙁

    3. No, xxjvu’s cwm won’t help you. Use one for xxjvp here – http://nerdschalk.com/root-xxjvp-firmware/

      Flash the cf-root file as guided there, and you’ll have both root access and cwm installed on your phone. You’re good to go then. Btw, xxjvu is a nice firmware too, you can try that too when and if looking back to using phone on Gingerbread.

  999. Can I suggest installing Android 4.0.4? I wrote a tutorial: https://gurde.com/2012/04/how-to-android-ics-4-0-4-on-galaxy-s-i9000/

  1000. Hi, sorry this hasn’t got anything to do with the 4.0 ics update you have posted, wanted to know where i can download the latest official firmware update for sgs i9000 i tried updating through settings.. phone update but it said no update available, any ideas? thanks in advance

    1. The latest firmware for Galaxy S i9000 is XXJW4, based on Android 2.3.6. If you can’t get it from updates section/settings in your phone, then install from here — nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s-gets-official-value-pack-firmware-xxjw4-includes-touchwiz-4/ .
      Using the guide, you can update manually.

    2. Thanks for the fast response, not done this before so one more question before i go ahead and try updating.. is this the official update samsung released and it wont mess up my phone or root it lol :/

    3. It’s not official (from Samsung)… and btw, it’s already rooted, so installing this will root your phone. You can restore back any original Samsung firmware back, and that will remove the root and restore the warranty too 🙂

    4. Hmm i’m not wanting the rooted version though.. do you know if the latest official update from samsung is released? i’m in the UK bdw if that helps.. and iv’e just downloaded samsung kies it says new firmware is available is that an official update or rooted? :/ sorry for asking so many questions i’m new to android lol

    5. its okay now, ive managed to install 2.3.6 value pack latest update through kies, thanks for nothing lol jk thanks for your help 🙂

  1001. THANKS a LOT.. i am relishing the icecream on my glaxy s!.. :p.. i went through ALL the procedures stated above starting from flashing to XXJVU till the last steps! everything went on smooth..

  1002. Is there any way i can get my contact back… the backup program i used failed miserably and didnt back up anything and i lost 700 number that i really really need.. is there any any way i can get these back??

  1003. Can I suggest installing Android 4.0.4? I wrote a tutorial: https://gurde.com/2012/04/how-to-android-ics-4-0-4-on-galaxy-s-i9000/

  1005. This is lagging like hell on mine. The first release runned like a dream, but when I updated to this version, it got all laggy and slow. Any suggestions how to fix? Yes, I am pretty sure i wiped everything. 

    Thanks. 

    1. rom works perfect on the SGS GT-I9000T  all you have to do is change the modem after flashing i used the cm7T959TLJL3  on mine and i am super happy everything works like its supposed to clocked to 1200mhz stable ….    Thanks for the awsome rom…

  1006. Hi, sorry this hasn’t got anything to do with the 4.0 ics update you have posted, wanted to know where i can download the latest official firmware update for sgs i9000 i tried updating through settings.. phone update but it said no update available, any ideas? thanks in advance

    1. The latest firmware for Galaxy S i9000 is XXJW4, based on Android 2.3.6. If you can’t get it from updates section/settings in your phone, then install from here — nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s-gets-official-value-pack-firmware-xxjw4-includes-touchwiz-4/ .

    1. the JP9 modem was a bust worked till I rebooted then nothing so flashed the T959 modem so far so great I love it..

  1021. @itskapil:disqus – how to restore my contacts. When i was gingerbread i backed my contacts in *.sbu format , *.csv.bak & .spb  can i restore.. ???

    1. Which software did you use to backup, try restoring from the same.

      If you have csv file containing backup of all your contacts, then open Gmail on PC, go to contacts and restore contacts there using that csv file. Then, on your android phone, go to settings – accounts and sync and add the Gmail ID on which you restored contacts, keep contacts sync ON while you can disable other sync functions for that account safely. Once done, contacts will be restored/synced to your phone and it’s always the best way to keep contacts synced with Google.

    2. no i am not able to connect to kies… in gingerbread it used to ask me how to connect usb- media, usb, kies. I used to select kies. But now there is no such option coming.

    3. Oh… maybe then.. install a gingerbread firmware back on your phone and then restore using Kies. You can xxjvu firmware linked above.

      After Kies restores your contacts, sync them to Google and then install ICS from above.

    4. thanks a tonn man! ill give this rom 9.5/10 — 0.5 gone coz drop down slider on top doesnt have shortcuts like wifi, blutooth, silent.. if they could have been added.. it would hv been perfect… but still im in love with my device and ICS!!

  1054. Hi guys, previously when I was on Froyo, I was able to make a video call through the 3G network. But after upgrading my Galaxy S to ICS, there is no option to make a video call. I know there are software like Skype, Fring, Tango. But what about the 3G Video Call. This function seems to be missing from the phone after its upgrade.

  1057. Hi, I installed ICS ROM on my galaxy its working fine.Thanks.
    Now when i am trying to connect my Samsung Galaxy i9000 to Samsung Kies to restore the backup, my phone is not connectint to it.I can see SD card in “My Computer” but Kies is not picking the phone. Please help. Thanks 

    1. Since this Android 4.0 rom is not a Samsung firmware, Kies won’t work. You will have to install Samsung firmware back, can install XXJVU or this latest one, XXJW4 — nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s-gets-official-value-pack-firmware-xxjw4-includes-touchwiz-4/
      After installing the Samsung firmware, Kies would work and you can restore your contacts and every other data you backup up using Kies. use our android backup guide then (linked above) to make a backup without Kies so that it works on Android 4.0 ice Cream Sandwich too. It’s time you kiss goodbye to Kies!

  1060. hey guys…i have done the upgrade previously on my SGS and now the phone just freezes,exit camera by himself from time to time and works really really hard…tell me what to do please..should i install it all over again or what seems to be the problem?if i cannot resolve this can i switch to the upgrade from samsung kies?thank you

    1. You can flash the ICS rom again, I hope it solves problems, and do try the factory reset and wipe dalvik cache (under advanced) from recovery mode.
      Also, I would suggest you to try another Android 4.0 rom, called AOKP. Find guide and link here – nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s-gets-android-4-0-based-aokp-rom/

      And yes, you ca go back to Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread effortlessly, just install the latest Android 2.3.x firmware from Samsung XXJW4 – http://nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s-gets-official-value-pack-firmware-xxjw4-includes-touchwiz-4/

  1061. Hello guys!after the installation i have problem with the external sd! the phone did not  read the files that external contains! any suggestions….?

    1. It should be renamed as external_sd in file manager. Look for that folder, that’s your external sdcard.

    2. i know that my friend! when i open the (external_sd) file there are no files! i have in external sd all my music files! when i open the music player the system appears all my music songs but when i go to file manager–> external_sd there are no files!

    3. Oh ok… don’t know what’s the problem, then… umm, maybe reboot it and it would read the files. Is it mounting on PC after you connect phone to PC and enable USB?

  1062. @kapil thanks for the suggestion.i have one question thou:in order to go to AOKP rom i have to go back to gingerbread or i can go forward with the ICS 4.0 i have previously installed?(sorry,new to this just want to make sure i do everything ok,as i had some prb with my SGS since i bought it:(

    1. You can go directly. Just download the rom and transfer it to phone and then flash from recovery mode. Also flash the gapps after flashing the recovery.

  1065. ok kapil got it…but how do i flash the gapps?i dont even know what they are:)

    1. Should be linked in that page’s guide, or see my comment in comments section there. It’s simple: download the gapps’ zip file and flash it like flash rom.

    1. Nope. Third time.

      When I said absolutely necessary, it meant there is no other way. Btw, you can restore lost warranty back by flashing a Samsung Indian firmware back. Simple!

  1066. Hello guys!after the installation i have problem with the external sd! the phone did not  read the files that external contains! any suggestions….?

        1. Oh ok… don’t know what’s the problem, then… umm, maybe reboot it and it would read the files. Is it mounting on PC after you connect phone to PC and enable USB?

  1067. Hello guys!after the installation i have problem with the external sd! the phone did not  read the files that external contains! any suggestions….?

  1068. Thanks man. My Galaxy S is now running ICS4.0. Just one quick note: in step 11 you said that the phone would return in recovery mode. My phone didnt. It skipped step 11, 12 and 13. After I selected the rom to be installed, it installed the rom and after a few minutes it rebooted, showed me the animated startup logo like 10 times, and then it worked 🙂

    Thanks againg 🙂

  1069. Thanks man. Very cool, as Patrick “Just a quick note: in step 11 you said the phoneback into recovery mode. My phone does not. He skipped step 11, 12 and 13. After I selected the rom to be installed, it installed the rom and then resumed a few minutes he showed me the animated logo startup as 10 times, and then worked 🙂 ”

    However I came across a bug: can not get into “recovery mode”. I have no problemgetting in “download mode” but I can not do the recovery, whether by thecombination of keys or through the mobile phone. you can help? 

    1. The “Quick boot” does not solve de problem. It restart the phone twice but do not go to recovery and starts de phone normaly.To regain access of the “recovery”:- i have to downgrade to firmware 3.2.6. if we install the  AOKP rom (http://nerdschalk.com/galaxy-s-gets-android-4-0-based-aokp-rom/) When testing the phone with this rom we have access to recovery.however I prefer the latest version of “Android 4.0 ROM” (ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000.zip)I do not mind if I have access to recovery or not in my phone, or if in the future i need to downgrade firmware to get recovery acesso. but maybe the resolution of the bug helps someone.I followed all the stepsmy phone is a Sumsung S I9000used for flashing:- Odin- s1_odin_20100512.pit- I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.rar.- CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip.- ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000.zipFollow steps toturial studies as they are in more than once and the result isalways the same.

    3. AOKP is a better rom btw for the amount of customization options it gives. You better switch to that one.

  1070. @kapil thanks for the suggestion.i have one question thou:in order to go to AOKP rom i have to go back to gingerbread or i can go forward with the ICS 4.0 i have previously installed?(sorry,new to this just want to make sure i do everything ok,as i had some prb with my SGS since i bought it:(

    1. You can go directly. Just download the rom and transfer it to phone and then flash from recovery mode. Also flash the gapps after flashing the recovery.

  1072. ok kapil got it…but how do i flash the gapps?i dont even know what they are:)

    1. Should be linked in that page’s guide, or see my comment in comments section there. It’s simple: download the gapps’ zip file and flash it like flash rom.

        1. Nope. Third time.

          When I said absolutely necessary, it meant there is no other way. Btw, you can restore lost warranty back by flashing a Samsung Indian firmware back. Simple!

    1. You don’t have clockworkmod recovery installed, man. You got to follow each and every step above. I think you skipped step 2 above, which installs Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery and also roots the XXJVU firmware you install in step 1.

  1089. Guys, I had migrated to ICS RC4.2 ROM almost 3-4 months back and since then I had been enjoying ICS without much problem, everythings seems ok, except that I miss FM but thats not a big worry. One observation that I have is that quality of camera output of this ROM is much lower as compared to old Gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM or stock RoM for that matter. Inspite of some rich features in the Camera app of ICS ROM, the quality of pictures , specially during low light conditions. As such there are no Night mode and Stable shot options in scene mode at all. I also find few pictures missing after clicking them from the Galery and thats very infrequent. I just cant rely on this Camera app at all.
    Does any body else face the same problem with the camera?

    when I goto install from sdcard it checks for a few seconds then reads:

    Any suggestions?

    1. You do not have Clockworkmod recovery installed. You have to root and install clockworkmod recovery, it’s said there in the steps above. So, follow the guide above fully to the letter, and you will be fine.

  1141. Well, Thank you a ton, at first, for this awesome update which I thought would never come to this version of Galaxy S. It is indeed an amazing experience, I started to stare without break at my phone for the last 3 days since I updated it to ICS. However, the only thing I feel missing is “FM Radio”…..I am a serious fan of music and would really love to have a FM radio which is in general available at the lowest cost phone, these days…..It will be a great help, if I can get a way to get the FM Radio in this…..Thank you anyway for this great work and I appreciate your hard work…..you guys rock

  1171. it keeps saying “Unfortuately, the process android.process.media has stopped” whenever i use music, camera, video, internet etc. how can i fix this??

    1. Simply do a factory reset from recovery mode. Since this will remove all apps and their data, do make appropriate backups.

  1174. Cannot believe how smoothly this went. I’ve gone through all three steps – flashing XXJVU, rooting and installing the ROM, and everything has gone perfectly. Had one hiccup where it wouldn’t reboot into blue recovery mode, but I just took out the battery and retried and it worked fine. Took less than 5 minutes to reboot, and looks fantastic. Thank you SO much.

  1207. Thank you for the detailed instructions and for the work put in this custom rom, but unfortunately i am disappointed of the fact that my phone (i9000) does not have enough “punch” in it to run smooth with this rom. Lets face it…if you want to upgrade to a newer version of android you have to buy a newer phone. I will probably downgrade to a more stable version of gingerbread.

  1239. Hi guys, thanks for the brilliant ROM. I do have a question about e-mail: in the inbox the mail program only displays the last 25 mails by default. When you delete a few mails old mails come back into the list and on top of the screen it shows like you have several new e-mails even though they’re old. In Android 2.3.6 you could set that it would show/display all e-mails. Is there a way to set the visibility of all mails in this ROM version?
