Recently, we covered up How you can root the Samsung galaxy fit and install custom recovery in it. Samsung has already refused to release any value pack and official firmware update for the galaxy fit, but Cyanogen Mod Team has come up with their latest ROM for Galaxy Fit which is based on the latest Android ICS 4.0.3 Firmware. The ROM has been confirmed to be fully stable and reportedly working.
Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670 - Install Android ICS 4.0.3 Beta 3 Firmware
Note: This is an non-official update that has been released by some developer and Samsung isn’t the creator of the ROM. So, the warranty will be voided if you install this firmware, but it can be retained using the STOCK FIRMWARE. So that means no problems.
Warning for Beginners:
Note: This is an non official update and has to be applied to the Mobile phone using the recovery mode. The steps which are included in this guide are very risky and can even brick off your mobile phone. Unless you are aware with Custom ROMS, Firmwares and ODIN, don’t even try these things on your mobile phone.

How to get back to original
Galaxy fit Ics 4.0 install karane ke baad cemra kaam nahi kar raha tell me about
Dear Friend, That is an expected Bug in the ROM. We’re looking onto some fixes but till now there are no updates..!!
i’m a bginer user of s5670 2.3.4 ginggerbread. is it possible to upgrade to 4.0? thanks..
Yes, But the ROM is still having bugs, you can locate the ROM on our site by using the search box.
Is tjere any update yet? To make camera, gps, radio and flash working
very difficult for download
Try it out again, might be server slow.
Camera not working , Keyboard is larger and cannot fit in the screen
ICS requires more than 800 mhz cpu and a minimum 256 ram for the camera to work …….fit doesnt support it sadly …
that is why it receives ics via custom ROM.
I done this whole procedure and now my phone doesn’t get past the start up screen which has changed. My computer doesn’t recognize the device so i can’t delete the file out of my phone’s system. Can you help? I need my phone to turn on so i can try another file for it to turn on. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Can you access recovery mode?
will using a third-party camera app like camera fx pro fix the camera problem ?
I did all the steps, but the camera does not work :/ I’ll keep watching it aver that I find, for now thanks: T
