AnonD-74708, 22 Oct 2012Hi, yes i can but how to root your OT-995 depends on which Android version you're running, if ... moreHEY Steffesson! your awesome and i would first like to thank you for all your help all the way from AUSTRALIA for helping me get ICS on my phone it has helped LOADS!
much quicker and responsive and smooth now!
but i just have one minor issue!!!
I rooted it on gingerbread.
followed your steps to root it on gingerbread and it worked great using SUPERONECLICK and alcapwn.
but now on ICS it seems to be unrooted and when i try to use SUPERONECLICK and alcapwn to root it it hangs on step #3 or Step #7.
I love the new ICS but very disappointed i can only play around 5 mins of good games like shadowgun and it "unexpectedly closes".
they seem to work okay at first and then die.
PLEASE HELP!
would be much appreciated!
thank mate!!

Rickz, 26 Oct 2012Does anyone from Macedonia users have ICS update on his Alcatel OT 995? Or only France users?The French_ICS rom contains many languages not only French so try it out.. All the other roms to OT-995 that are stock is the same as this one when they hit your country, the only thing that may change is that fr some country their language will be supported an some countries language may not be supported in the French_ICS
