Looks like they are getting close with FC18 (Video)

[MannyZ28]

I really really really hope that we get to keep the ability to use the stock ICS launcher. I like the looks of it better since we at least get some transition animations while in the app drawer, and unless I am mistaken, live scrollable wallpapers should work properly as well with ICS.

I just don't understand why Samsung went through all the trouble of creating the transition animations in the earlier builds just to ditch them with the later ones. Very sad.

Enjoy the video.... phone looks fast with no lag at all (not like it's a slouch now!)

Yea it does appear to be super smooth, with face unlock working & gps! I wonder why they refuse the standard blue look tho?

And it looks like one of the devs over at XDA updated his ROM to FC18

Does anyone know if there are any noticeable bugs in it? I haven't seen mention of any in the threads and reviews.

The only noticeable bug I can find is how the Touchwiz gallery handles the homescreen wallpaper. It still blows the wallpaper up and zooms in even when you only select a 800x600 area.

This is easily fixed by using a free gallery App called Quickpic though, which sets the wallpaper perfectly. Or you can use a different launcher of course. I've grown quite fond of Nova launcher personally.

It isn't just touchwiz launcher, it is an issue with nova also. I've also read this is a stock ICS issue not just touchwiz.

Good point. Now that I think about it, this also happens on the stock ICS launcher. I don't notice it much anymore because I now use Quickpic as my day-to-day gallery and use it for all gallery related functions.
