Want to enjoy Samsung Galaxy S III S Voice and TouchWiz UX Launcher? Then you need to try FoxHound Sniper Wolf ICS ROM for Samsung Galaxy S II. FoxHound Sniper Wolf ICS ROM is based on latest official Samsung Galaxy S2 XWLPD firmware (Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich). It is deodexed, zipaligned and optimized. Using Siyah Kernel and added lot of AOSP goodies like Google Gallery, calculator… It also has customizable Quick Panel where you can toggle Wi-Fi, data, Bluetooth and other functions…
Yes, more and more SGS2 ROM added with Samsung Galaxy S3 goodies. Samsung Galaxy S3 S Voice is working properly in this ROM. No ‘network error’ issue here. And I believe most of Samsung Galaxy S3 software goodies will be ported to SGS2 sooner or later…

Yes conan21.
can you please tell me how to fix the font issue? 🙂 Also, i got yellow triangle with exclamation mark when i boot my s2.. I don’t have a jig.. any other way?
No idea about font issue. You need to consult ROM chef about this.
As for yellow triangle, please refer to this guide. But not sure it can work on Siyah Kernel or not.

Thanks for the info, Souvik. 😉
I tried this .. although it doesnt force close, seem to be very laggy. need to keep repeating or pressing the button to get it work ..
Yes..But It Some Time Works Great..And This Is Not SGS3…
So,We Should Sacrifice Good Performance..
Well decided to use Vlingo instead of S voice for this.. 🙂
Installed this morning and can agree with the stability of the rom. Its also nice to see Samsung Apps, and other Samsung stock applications available in this rom. Over all the rom is fast and stable. SO far S voice is not working for me (crashes)..
Just some initial observations/TouchWiz UX Launcher ->
1. SMS look and feel, white over white hmmm, with the fix its better but highlighted text in dark blue isnt that great, not sure if there any other way to change to some easier to see colors.
2. Notification number for unread SMS and Emails as with the stock rom
3. In the app list, doesnt auto sort as compared to Apex Launcher
4. Menu Key in Home page, doesnt give a quick key to add widgets or wall paper?
5. Some news widgets seem to take up more space then they should.. (Maybe i need to download them again)
6. Notification quick keys to turn off wifi , data etc.. is a plus here
7. Noise cancellation and recording in call (wow) are in this rom!
8. Hotmail… you cant change to include your name! Yahoo and Gmail are fine…
well i will use this rom more and comment if there are anything else
After about 1 day + of use..
1. Its very stable.. So far Touchwiz launcher crashed 1 time over 2 days, 1 or 2 live wall paper dont work as well (dont count S voice which didnt work), but most software didnt have an issue.
2. Happy to use Samsung Kies, Samsung Apps and other samsung features available in this rom.
3. Battery life in my view is draining faster than GB 2.3.6 stock rom + 10 % more. But i will still kiv as perhaps it needs some settling down..or perhaps when it moves to the new ICS4.0.4 rom it will be better
4. Wifi sometimes seem slow to kick in even though one is in range of saved network. Need to disable and re-enable wifi to work.
Hi there! If you turn off S Voice speach it will function fine, with few crashes
I uninstalled it actually and used vlingo 🙂
question..are this value is after you overclock??
i mean the Antutu Benchmark score..
No overclock as you can see CPU is running at 1200 MHz.

oh , sorry , i had found the fix after i posted this…. but i wasn’t home so i didn’t said nothing… but thanks for your reply….
anyway just one thing on this is the fact i am having problems setting up my email account from hotmail , so i can check emails on phone , and something is killing my battery to fast
I didnt use the built in email client for hotmail as i could not change or add in my display email name.. So i downloaded an email client from Microsoft + seven which is for hotmail only.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hotmail.Z7&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ob3RtYWlsLlo3Il0.
It doesnt show the unread emails on the icon itself but it does pop up in notification
oh thanks…. going to try that one…
Hi Clement, I’ve downloaded the zip file, what to do next? Please advice~
I assume you mean the zip file to fix the sms white text on white background issue?
1. copy file from PC to SD Card/Phone
2. Boot into recovery
3. Choose install from SD Card and look for file you saved in your sd card
4. once installed reboot the phone.
Many thanks, will do later as I’m downloading the FoxHound update in 318MB size… Anyone any idea what’s update for…?
i believe the 318 mb file is the installer above.. If you already installed this rom i dont think you need to do anything but i could be wrong.
If you are planning to do the installation of the rom, do make sure you do your own backup
Ok, let me be the white mouse~
Hi, I have an issue when start up, the message “Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped.” pop up. Some time will say “Unfortunately, the android keyboard has stopped.” …
Any advice…?
Solved, with RE-INSTALLED.
Great ROM. Sometimes can be laggy some times not. The benchmark scores are not steady depending on the lag, got no idea why this happening. Overall though, good rom. Great battery life and 5×5 app drawer, gives me 72 hours with a 2000mAH batt on medium usage. Important goodies inside too. I give this 8/10.
Thanx for this awsome rom
It is nice and fast but s voice doesent worka at all…
Hi, i installed the rom however my gmail and street view for maps are not working. Any ideas ? Thanks
Sorry azman, I have no idea. Please consult ROM chef.
I updated firmware using Odin and now my GT-I9100 is not getting locked and when I press and hold power button it goes off immediately power menu it not coming? Could you please help me to solve this problem. I re-installed firmware few times but same effect.
Hi Cevat, try other firmware then.
Could you suggest me a good official firmware please? I did tried three firmwares.
Try your own stock firmware. That’s the best for you.
I don’t have it. Where do I find it? I bought this phone from Turkey but now I am in some other place.
