Well I'm installing it right now and will update with initial impressions!

To install via ODIN choose: (Note: This will wipe your Apps but SD Card and Internal Storage Data will remain intact)


Phone - MODEM_I9100XXKG1_REV_02_CL1034110.tar
PDA - CODE_I9100XXKG1_CL349526_REV02_user_low_ship.tar
CSC - GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG1.tar

There's no need to use the .pit file and do not tick mark re-partition.

To Root:

Flash with any CF Root based Kernel
Flash back to Stock KG1 to remove Yellow Triangle

Edit:

Ok so the Screen On lag is gone when you wake up via Home Button, but still there when you wake up via Power Button.

Google Talk Video support

Android OS eats up considerably less battery.

Will add more changes as I find.

Edit 2:

Well can't say that the Android OS battery hog issue has been totally fixed. Android OS still shows a lot of usage. Android System process on other hand seems to have gotten down.

Battery @ 87% (with Juice Defender running)

Apparently the Android OS Battery issue is a problem caused by Samsungs Drivers which hog the CPU even while the device is in standby mode.

Carry on, I will wait for your feedback about it eagerly.

PS- It's posted on Samfirmware too, and it's 282 MB. So definitely it's a a full firmware.

Any idea where each file goes in odin? First attempt failed, so i think that's cause i put them in the wrong place

csc=csc
lowship = pda

OS is running at 2% and it now tells you the battery charge on the lock screen. Lock screen lag is also gone.
