Ice Cream Sandwich Voila, again and another leak for Samsung Galaxy S2, the firmware has been dubbed as the XXLPH firmware and is based on the latest Android 4.0.3 ICS. Samsung’s ICS ROM was leaked which was the XXLPB one which got to be very stable only 3G problem was there but later on it was fixed by us.
Changes that have taken place in this XXLPH ROM
- Battery better than earlier ICS firmware
- Touch not as good as previous XXLPB firmware
- More stable than XXLPB
Go on without saying that the ROM isn’t stable, as XXLPB was a very perfect built so this one has to be a better one as it’s the new built of Android ICS 4.0.3 for Samsung Galaxy S2.
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.
Warning for Beginners:
Note: This is an non official update and has to be applied to the Mobile phone using the ODIN Tool. 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.
