The weather widget is great, only downside is the fact Xperia S launcher has to be used for it to function. |

Glad that sluggishness is gone.That was one of my biggest issues with that ROM.

About what size is the back on the SD card when one backs up using CWM? I am getting over 3GB. Is that normal? I want to back up before going to the latest Resurrection ROM.
Thanks

All my backups vary in size.Largest backup I have is 1.3gb.
Suppose it all depends on whats on the rom when you make the
backup.Most my backups are clean installs so the file sizes
are pretty small +-800mbs.

Sorry about a follow up post instead of editing the previous but I cannot get to edit it at this time which is several hours later.
Anyway, can anyone help or give suggestions. Since upgrading to ICS 4.0 from 2.3.6 most of my applications no longer are seeing/connecting to my data connection. Most times the data is on Edge. Previously in 2.3.6 my android mail, eBay, Amazon, paypal and facebook apps would connect on Edge. Now it is only when I am on wifi do they connect and work really well.However as soon as I leave the wifi connection it all ends and they will no longer connect.
Applications such as Facebook messenger, Whatsapp, the stock browser (which is very fast) Opera and Firefox will connect but all other applications never connect. Does anyone have any idea why and how I can fix this?
I am seriously considering going back to 2.3.6.
Hobbs, I tried the lastest Resurrection remix ROM. I loved the smoothness but too many settings for me and Radio was missing and seems my MHL was not working with it either. I am not even considering going back. Really smooth and fast but not going back. The start up screen I.....C....S.... is horrible if you ask me.

Hes ICS boot animation is a bit over-the-top.
Sorry to hear you are still having network problems.
I cant think of a solution for you to fix that problem
other than maybe waiting for your official regions ICS update
and see-ing if that makes any difference.
64GB micro SD.Cool.Thats some serious storage.

So after using the Xperia S launcher for a few days im back to TouchWiz launcher, the Xperia S launcher tends to stutter and lag at times between homescreens, my poor GS2 began to feel like those Xperia Ss on some of the reviews on YouTube, Sony did a great job with the looks of the launcher and its widgets but sacrificed performance.
