Yep it is right, we do have root.
I am rooted right now and abusing my OSD.lol

I am seriously impressed, I had almost given up hope. I may even be tempted to head to the Orange shop on pay day, get the phone unlocked, then stick ICS on and root the thing too. Just because I can.

[jikobutsu]

Lol I not had root for ages, like a big kid right now, just realized again I can reboot with a reboot widget now and not have to turn off and back on. Root makes thinks so much easier, and the Ics is just amazing on this device. X-mas came early this year....Now wheres that clockworkmod......now that would be the best x-mas present.

[captainkremmen]

Yeah just had a good read of the root thread.

Given the hoops you sometimes have to jump through to get root on phones that are easier than the SD to root initially, now that it's happened it seems a surprisingly easy procedure (does that make sense?, it did when I typed it).

Can confirm this as I done it myself. The system busybox works fine.

Don't think it is included. Do you even use it?

It does however have Wi-Fi Direct which seems to have replaced it although I'm only just reading up on it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Just followed the instructions above, and am now going to spend some time getting to know ICS.  Any chance of Jelly Bean...?

Thanks again!

Could someone tell me, if I flash the xolo ics rom and in 3 month I ask orange the code to sim unlock, it will be working even if it won't be an orange rom?

[jikobutsu]

Sim lock is nothing to do with what rom you are running, hence why when you get sim unlock, it persists even if you flash new rom. So there should be no problem with that, all orange will want is your IME number, which is not effected by changing roms.

ok! It's just I tought that the sim is unlocked trough the rom as you put a code into the dialer if I'm not mistaken.

Hi guys, how someone ask before, is necessary debrand Orange stock rom to XoloGB before this update or it's posible do that direct?

[The-Bledard]

Doing direct is possible and works. It's what I did.

Not necessary.

After a bit of deliberation, I decided "ah to hell with it" and took the plunge. I upgraded direct from Orange GB to Xolo ICS with absolutely no problems at all. You will still have all the Orange apps doing it this way, but whether that is a good thing depends on whether or not you use them.

First impressions, this thing is very fast and smooth. It was already fast and smooth of course, but it now just seems to be more so. You lose a little functionality on the camera, as there are less options to fiddle with, but I can confirm the much mentioned clicking when recording video in HD with autofocus is now gone, and is it just me, does picture quality seem very slightly better on HD recording?. Stills look much the same, although selecting Vivid improves colour saturation and pictures are now really very good outdoors in bright light.

Aye the odd time! Was just wondering but its on a rare occasion I suppose

[i am not a hacker]

So you paid 50 pounds for the adapter? I just use a microhdmi cable for 2 pounds

[schkinx]

Got an OSD today and i'm ready to play with it

So if i understand correctly i can flash the ICS update without having to flash the GB update first ?

And is it safe to root yet or is it still experimental ?

I dont want to bury this phone in the garden just yet

[i am not a hacker]

Yes you can get ICS straight from the orange ROM by following my guide. Root is safe, but there have been problems so I would not recommend it yet.
