No you will have to root install EL29 with SFHubs one click method here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1429243
Then you can install CWM and finally the GB rom!

great thanks, but that link to download the stock rooted el29 doesn't seem to work.

What if i do a factory reset. wouldn't that set the phone back to GB el29? then root, install cwm, and install calks GB rom?

No! If u do that, you'll still be on ics! And just google sfhubs one click el29 one click root and download

Thanks for the help people.

It took a few hours of trial and error but for those who want to know, here's how you install a GB ROM (in my case Calk v2.9.2) from a stock unrooted ICS ff18:

- download the el29 Odin file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1433101 (make sure all drivers are downloaded and installed)
- Run Odin el29 (this will get our ICS ff18 back to GB el29 BUT your phone will be glitchy. Do a factory reset and the phone should start up and function correctly).
- Now, install CWM for el29.
- In CWM install your ROM. In my case I installed Calks v2.9.2 so i had to download and run his "wipe all", (I forgot to do this the first time and it I got stuck on the galaxy boot logo), then install ROM.

Thank you for the info..

With all the crappy ICS FF18 bugs/battery/scroll issues, I'm on edge about going back to GB.... I would get a day and 1/2 easy with Calk 3.0.. even with ICS Blu Kuban i dont get a whole day.. (yes using RC1 kernel)...

Only thing I really like about ICS, is I can install S-Voice Other than that, GB did all i need.....

if you are on the newest modem the one with the 13 or whatever. Is it possible to odin or flash back to El29?

Modems will not hinder you in choice of rom.
