This is the ROM I used. At the time, it was the best one for me (close to stock with no added nonsense, included Sense, had AP2SD+ support). There may well now be better ROMs out there, I haven’t looked.

Personally not too keen on the change. Many new bugs introduced, several phone resets, several apps no longer function as they did and the response of the touchscreen is a lot slower and with jerkier animation/scrolling than on gingerbread (Samsung Galaxy S2). Approx 100mb more memory in use at any one time too.
richpenny, I got the update via kies but from what I read if you have an o2 phone from a 3rd party seller then it’s not an o2 branded handset and won’t have the upgrade yet.
Toby1 the Nexus S should of updated before Christmas (mine was done about Dec 11, on Yodafone) no ROM modding required. Only issue I have so far is Sky Go only works on versions 2.2 & 2.3 so I can’t try it out!
Really not keen on possibly bricking/voiding warranty on my spanking new expensive phone though, call me chicken!
It’s really quite difficult to irrecoverably brick an Android device. Flashing the radio is the only real risky bit.
As for the warranty, a) it’s arguable whether it voids it, some providers are twitchier than others, and b) you can generally revert it back to stock with an RUU before returning it.
Any sg2 owners with ics, the problem with the flash player that I mentioned earlier in this thread appears to be resolved now. I downloaded it fine last night.
Tempted to ditch my galaxy s with cyanogen 7 and up to a htc one x now they’ve got an update out that improves battery life 10-20%. Might just last a working day now.
