all ok so far with LPB, one thing though, I can't seem to add my hotmail account to the stock samsung email app, it just says connection failed. I'm sure it worked ok on gingerbread?
The official hotmail app isn't supported on ICS yet...

You could just get your GMail account to get your Hotmail stuff for you, I think thats what most people do, I only have GMail accounts though so don't have that problem

it does work, i got it working, when i delete on phone, but when log in they still there, deleting from phone doesnt seem to delete really , was ok on gingerbread
I'm trying this one out:

I just want Samsung ROM stability + features with ICS style look and feel so something like this would be ideal.

I'm using this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Quite a few of the apps are ASOP & seems fairly stable. Thinking about going back to that simplistic ICS though as that was my first ICS ROM when LP2 hit. I only changed because he couldn't get ASOP apps to work properly in LP6.
Simplistic ICS is using many AOSP apps too, RC7 is being uploaded right now so I'm going to try that first I think, the dev seems quite cool too
Exciting stuff!
Cool he's got them working in LPB? That is great reflash time!
I just checked to see if the FC was still there when deleting contacts & it is 
It says in his main post it is fixed in this version (8.5). I guess its not totally bug free! I have PM'ed him though to see if he knows about it.

Yeah I don't make a habit of it just testing
Apart from that it seems relatively bug free though. On maps it'll find my location fine, If i try the nav program though & set directions up it just sits at "searching for gps"
Maybe this isn't so good!
Trying GPSfix see if it sorts it out will report back.
[Edit GPSfix sorted it out Navigation works fine

Navigation worked fine for me without the fix!
So far am enjoying this ROM I gotta say, the updated ICS apps are really good and smoothness is nice too.
I think the battery is draining faster than it should though but other than that everything appears to be working and I have managed to install most of my apps using Titanium again except for a few games which I should really nor keep any more.
Everything else seems to work just fine. Will check MHL output later this morning.
My phone seems to get unusually hot though just even writing this post so maybe there are some bugs still and this is causing the battery drain.
Edit*
Gingerbread would max out at around 20-25Mb connection speed on my 50Mb line, that's WiFi connected at 65Mbps. ICS seems to go a shade over 30Mb, nice!
Battery after 1hr 41mins is 87%, that's with 24mins of s creen on time, 7mins of ICS Browser+, Android OS has kept the phone awake for 34mins, MediaScannerService has a partial wakelock time of 24mins, PowermanagerService has 11mins for kernel wakelock.
CPUSpy reports 1hr 1min has been in deep sleep with 7mins at 1200MHz so CPU is not running at high MHz unnecessarily which means the battery drain is ICS itself. This isn't a final ICS build so I understand there will be bugs
Edit2*
I'm restoring my CWM backup to CheckROM for now, SpeedMod kernel has epic battery life so I will stick with that until ICS is final and SpeedMod updated with ICS support.

I noticed that under sync settings "sync internet" just keeps trying to sync but doesn't actually do anything. Eventually it'll say "sync currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" I read people were also getting hot phones & it was sorted once they turned it off.
Might be the problem with your phone heating up when browsing?
Can't say I've noticed much on the battery side of things, Seems about the same as LP6. But I don't use syncing I just manually do it. I noticed that the battery was draining more using the BBC news widget though!
Good choice though I'd say by the end of the month we'll have a fully working ROM, Well I'm hoping anyway!
I had a reply off westcrip about the contact delete bug all he said was "install gapps11 gappsfixer do dalvic cache reboot" Which I did anyway!

My phone is not the problem because this is only there in ICS so it can only be an ICS issue, a non release version of ICS is bound to have problems like this
Wasn't saying your phone was the problem dude
I was talking about Internet Sync under "sync" menu, Just constantly runs draining battery.
