It seems that the holiday gifts arrive in advance. We just told you that the owners of a Nokia N8 can update their phone with the latest of the latest in the Symbian ecosystem, the Symbian Belle platform, and the owners of the black leg of the South Korean Samsung are not for less. They can opt for the fashionable ice cream sandwich this Christmas: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich -ICS-.
We say this because thanks to the SamMobile site we have discovered that a new ROM of the most updated system from Google has been leaked. Specifically, it is Android 4.0.1, reasonably functional in the Samsung Galaxy S2, the best-selling phone from the Seoul company. This second ROM (a previous version was already known last week) is sealed as of December 8, and aims to be more stable and fluid in operation than its predecessor.
Through this link you can download the update file, which you can install on your Samsung Galaxy S2 using the usual tool for these purposes, which is none other than the ODIN desktop application - only available on Windows -.
It is recommended that you make a backup copy of the contents of your phone before proceeding, and that you know that since it is not an official update, the manufacturer may not be responsible for the terminal in case of problem. However, once installed, it is easy to reverse the process, leaving the device at its factory settings.
On the other hand, as we know through GSM Arena, this ROM is not yet as fine as it should be, and some bugs and operational problems have been found. In addition, this ROM has the TouchWiz layer integrated, the native of Samsung, so those who expect to have in their Samsung Galaxy S2 the integral aspect that it looks like in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will have to opt for another solution.
Samsung has not yet given a date to release the official update to Android 4.0 on the Samsung Galaxy S2. The most accurate approach that has been offered so far is that it will be in January when the owners of this terminal can update their device with the most advanced edition of the Google platform.
