Yup its out now to the mainstream.
My advice to anyone would be to hang fire on this one.
LQ5 has camera, video and bluetooth problems, not to mention the cataclysmic brick potential issue.
Personally I'm going to wait until there is a compatible Siyah kernel, and the issues I just mentioned are fixed. This may mean a new firmware, or perhaps a kernel update. Unknown as yet.
People on here had a go at me scaremongering about this potential brick bug when I started a thread on it, but its bitten a few people up the jaxxy now 4.0.4 has emerged, one of which sadly is our No. 1 Dev, Sale.

no harm in warning peeps of the dangers of gettin a bricked phone. must have been bad enough for checkrom to remove their own kernel from v7 and replace it with a stock one. im def gonna sit this one out, neat lite works fine, wait for the dust to settle and let the die hards flash it first

I've already been through at least 8 roms in the past 10 days and I'm settling with Portal Rom 1.4 until I get omega working or the dust settles on checkrom v7.
Don't want to brick my phone since I have it how I like it now.
I can either be stuck on splash screen with omegav15 or have a bricked or not fully functioning phone on checkromv7..... so I'll wait.

I can't believe the number of people on the CheckROM XDA thread who are now complaining of bricked phones! And they say ignorance is bliss! :argh:
I also can't believe the numbers flashing this ROM not only considering the possibility of this brick bug, but also because of:
1. No CWM
2. No Bluetooth
3. Camera/video not working properly
Talk about die-hard CheckROM fans! :secruity:
It makes you wonder, through all the furore directed at the CheckROM devs during its months of no-show on the ICS front, how they then release an LQ5 base 2 days after a leaked release. I shouldn't be reading between there lines here should I? :hmmmm:

Damn. There's a lesson to be learnt here.

Strange, of all build options why use LQ5? There suddenly seems an unseemly haste about this one after such an ironically long wait. Nice of them to still bother but no thanks. I already know several ways to brick-up and as the bug is in that kernel set I'll steer clear.

Notice that the CheckROM V7 XDA thread has now been closed by the dev's following yesterday's debacle. Not because of the bricking issue (you can still download it), but because the devs didn't like all the "ill mannered" reactions to it!
These CheckROM devs seemed to have gotten far too big for their boots. Their attitude really does leave something to be desired!

Chainfire updated his Cf-Root kernal. A lower risk now...but STILL a risk.

I'm going to wait for an official release of 4.04 before trying CheckRom. I can understand why they did this, so that when the next build is released they can be ahead of the pack but will any dev want to touch this right now?

for what its worth...
[ROM][XXLQ5][4.0.4] CheckROM RevoHD
Leo announced S2 checkrom ICS is finished, not as in complete, but as in terminated, something they should have said months ago. probably just as well, will save some poor sod somewhere from a bricked S2.
rest in pieces checkrom v7.

Its a shame they messed up, going loose large fan base. That tgread was a fun read,.
Will wait and see what Ironass and Hawker choose as their new Rom of choice.
