Asus - Oppertunity to show how much you love your customers.

Valentines day is only a week or so away, perhaps you can show your love for us, with a nice present... I'm not talking flowers or chocolates, some IceCreamSandwich....
Think of it as a great marketing opportunity... Pull out all the stops...

Asus called me... they said they saw your post here on XDA and they will think about it.

ASUS lives next door to me and he just told me the other day:
"RULE #1 - Never ask for an ETA!"

Although I agree that it would be a smart marketing move!! and create alot of unintended free buzz but may wreck several relationships in the process aswell

Asus posted on their Facebook page about a unsolicited sexual advance they had been offered on XDA... They were so shocked and offended that they have stopped working on ICS and began developing an Internet based pepper spray.
You really are CRAZY Peter...

lol yay! 10char

Asus told me they can't focus on their old relationship because they are focused on fixing their new relationship (the Prime)
Asus said that the Prime and Asus had issues from the beginning and it still isn't worked out. If by Valentines day the relationship isn't fixed Asus is dumping the Prime and moving on to the TF300!!!

Can't believe it, Asus makes itself another victimized partner. Asus is a serial Doctor Frankenstein!!

There is some freaky mandroid love going on in this thread, for sure. It's a good thing that we didn't get the update in time for Groundhog Day

waiting
still no update date but @ least we know its this month that only leaves 23 more days. here is the quote its from asus facebook page " ASUS Several of you have asked for a specific date on the ICS update for TF101. We don't have an exact date yet, but it should be this month. Our engineers are all back from their Chinese New Year celebrations now so we will have an up to date schedule shortly. As soon as we know more, we'll let you know on here, so stay tuned and thanks for your support!

This will be great for singles, but those who have a significant other will be ruined if ics is released on v-day: eee transformer owners will pass valentine hacking with ics rather than the other person
For me, no problem, ics on valentine will be great

Asus, you know you want to..
You need some good press, the media are out to crucify you at the moment, over the Prime bad press. Time to get some good press.

lol i think they made a mistake there. should be 2014.
On a more serious note, I think the support for ASUS is much better than Samsung. I traded my SGT 7 + $100 cash for a transformer. SGT 7 was such a heavily marketed flagship device and yet there's no support for ICS. Really ridiculous. Luckily the SGT 7 has great devs but still, lots of work have to be done by them in order for ICS to work on SGT 7.

The day iPad3 hits the shelves I'll say goodbye to my transformer.

We really need more threads with no news.
Feb/March can still mean tomorrow.
It will be here when it does.
Asus (and other manufacturers) will probably eventually learn to not make any promises whatsoever. Then any updates will just be a surprise.
I have a TF101 and I really don't feel Asus is required to provide me with an ICS update. I hope they do, but I can hardly make demands based on random Facebook/Twitter/forum posts.

this is funny and clische why are they even posting release dates ? If you dont know, why post IT?

Seriously? You need to post another topic on this? Terrible..

Sigh.... Worst PR department ever.
Asus isn't doing a very good job of making me want to be a return customer...
When is that Google branded Next Gen tab coming out again?

Words can't describe how much I don't care about ICS on my TF.

Think of this from a marketing angle: If Asus releases ICS simultaneously for TF101 and TF201 they will sell way less TF201s. Of course they stretch it as far as possible.
Ironically I have ICS on my ancient HTC Hero. My LG Optimus 3D isn't getting ICS until Q3 2012. LG doesn't even fix a bug that makes the phone miss a lot of calls and SMSes.
You think Asus customer service sucks? try LG!

ICS for my ancient LG Swift is ready for me to install thanks to the folks that make CM7. I only have to find time to install it. I think I won't wait for ICS on TF101 by Asus too.

then why did you answer to this post
I care about ICS because i heard some saying it increases much the responsiveness and general performance for the TF101, and I really want to make my new TF101 better.

Samsung is pretty bad with updates. Asus is doing good. Samsung/att just released gingerbread to the infuse 4g about two weeks ago. It was buggy and made the touch screen unresponsive. I went back to froyo.

But the custom ROM scene seems quite good on Samsung, right? Open bootloader and all... I'm considering jumping ship to Samsung this year, but I'm a little afraid that new versions of Android won't be available for it. Maybe I'll have to wait for Nexus tablet...

LOL. And they said the update was only waiting approval from Google. Riiight.

Yes. Delays. It's not the end of the world. Jeez.

I didn't complain, but this isn't the first time they've delayed their self-announced updates. The first time... sure delays happen... but again? Screw them. They should hire paul Burton, he got ics working for us. It ain't perfect, but its leaps and bounds better than what Asus gave us by the end of 2011 as they promised.

I bet it got delayed cause they had to scramble to fix the prime and stopped working on our update which in turn delayed us...

[idle conversation] no more leaks so far...

Is anyone else becoming increasingly concerned there hasn't been many leaks?
By now I would have expected quite a few more leaks, but there hasn't even been a whisper of another one...

not at all, i would rather stick to a stable GB rom than use the buggy ics leaks
people seem to think ics is magically gonna transform the device...

ICS certainly transforms the device. Going back to Gingerbread from ICS makes you realize how inadequate the former is for such a wonderful device. ICS is silky smooth while Gingerbread feels like watching stop-motion photography. Livewings did such a good job ironing out some of the kinks in the ICS leak that it has become my everyday rom. You couldn't pay me to go back to Gingerbread.

+1 on this.
If you try a ICS build in your Note, and if you can flashe it without getting FC´s and some other errors, you never want to came back to GB again, because the speed and usability is just in another level.
I don't know why there is only one leaked ICS rom for the Note.
It's very strange when we see the SII with many leaked ICS roms and other devices too, but not the Note.
Is the ICS Rom for the Note the biggest secret Rom from Samsung?

The awesome thing is that all leaks are running at 1.2GHz CPU speed and the real one will use 1.4, so it will be even faster!

What is the relation between Gingerbread and ICS firmware for Note?! Who cares about GB?! I need stable ICS, I spit on this GB...

Since many devices already got the update, we won't see them as much now. Who knows, maybe the Note ICS update is around the corner as well.

it just means ics release is nearing.

Actually the note is already fabulous using GB,
so for me there is no need to hurry into buggy ICS ports.
But ppl who live and love to test, feel free and go ahead

Probably wont see much since focus switch to premium suite. I think thats why we havent seen any leaks.

As always you said it all!! :beer:
SHOT from my LOADED GT-N7000!!

Personally I've found the relative regularity of frequency of Leaks to indicate solid Dev work..
I feel that the fact that we've had one buggy release, a blown out release date and now "promised' extras make me think that they're not getting much Dev done.
Its common practice to promise more when you've missed your promised release date, in an attempt to "curry favour" with the disaffected customers.

this looks promising, from same forum that leaked the last one

Official ICS Officially DeBlurred

Motorola ICS UI review: this isn't the Blur we used to know
Looks like the official ICS ROM will be mostly vanilla. With such a light touch and now being owned by Google, maybe they'll go full vanilla in the future.

We already have a few ICS discussion threads, you could have known that months ago by reading one of them.

This thread title is misleading. Offical release date is most likely Q4 2013.

MB860, CM7.2.0, Faux 026b1 1Ghz

And I stand by my original statement that it will be released on Friday.

I am not sure if they would provide a vanilla UI for ATrix like we see in Razr.

I think yes. It's cheaper and easier to use the same code.

Consider we're talking about motorola. That UI is for OMAP devices and Atrix isn't equipped with OMAP. We'll see all together.

I doubt the UI will be different just because the processor is. With it so deblurred, you gotta wonder why they even bother redoing any part of it. They can just include the bloat they want as apps without messing with the framework. Maybe the carriers are insisting on crippling some features.

Code is written in high level programming language like C++.

Its the same case as why the Photon and Atrix got a different, uglier and sluggish Blur instead of the one that came with all the Motorola phones equipped with OMAP4 chips.
Heck, the ICS Blur we see on our Atrix might even be the original ugly Android4 blur that is available for download everywhere.

Agreed.
Heck the launcher on the initial Froyo builds was so much more faster!
And then the rest of the Motorola phones comes out, and guess what ? Atrix is suddenly sluggish? I mean seriously?

I actually complained about screen switching being TOO fast on the Froyo build lol... ooops.
GB update was weird for me, it worked GREAT for a long time, then it started getting buggy and sluggish, I factory reset it like 4 times with new blur accounts etc, and nothing helped, finally rom'd it the other day and couldn't be happier..
Got to figure out a solution for webtop though, I used that a LOT.

If reports are correct (that Webtop has been replaced with tablet mode plus some candy), then the only solution that is rational is to run a headless Linux disttro and RDC into it.
Even if all the bits of code needed to spin up X are opensource, it is going to be a huge pain for somebody to port it over to ICS. And some items (such as the kernel mod that mux's inputs to both X and 'droid) I do not beleive are avaiable.
Using an RDC aproach makes it is fairly easy to put a distro of your choice on the Atrix though, so that is a plus.
To me the question would be if I was to use a full screen RDC to an 'ux desktop, or just bring up a window to the app that I want. Really need to see how it all plays after we get the real Tegra drivers for ICS out.

Officially No Jelly Bean Update for ACER A500

"According to an Acer spokesperson, the company has official made plans to roll out Jelly Bean to the Iconia Tab A110, A210 and the A510 before the end of this year. On a less happy note, they also confirmed that the A100, A200, and A500 would not receive the update most likely due to limitations in the hardware.
By the end of the year may seem like a long wait, but it’s most definitely better than never. Keep your head up, Iconia owners."

You're right bro, Acer aren't bothered about updating A500 or the others mentioned in the earlier post. That's why I decided to get a pure android device on the phone side. i'm presently on Galaxy Nexus after the disappointment HTC dished out on the HTC Desire not getting an OTA to gingerbread. I'm going to wait for Google to announce 10" tablet with very good specs such as HDMI out, USB charging port and very good screen resolution before getting another android tablet. Done with these OEMs messing about when it comes to updating.

Acer didn't have the time to change build.prop to give ICS to Packard Bell G100W, I think that no JB is not a surprise for anyone

Limitations of the hardware? There are already two JB roms for the A500. Aside from some issues that will surely be worked out in both roms, its pretty obvious that the A500 (and as such the A200, thats the A500 clone that has the ring and no rear camera, right?) can handle JB.

tegraowners is CM10 as well, its just he who shall not be named's build of CM10. the tegraowners ICS was CM9, despite what some people around here have tried to claim about it lacking theme support and cyanogenmod options.
and it would appear that with Civato's post that there will soon be three CM10 based roms. Civato always does great work, too.

After reading this, I decided to contact Acer and ask if this was true and for an explanation cause this would really make me mad. According to the rep I talked to via chat. he/she (I couldn't tell). They are working on a JB for the A500. They are working with Android and don't have a date yet but it will be released eventually. I don't know what to believe but obvious the Acer Spokesperson and the support rep I talked to are not on the same page.

This site is everything right with open-source community-based OSs.
I love the progress we're seeing on the CM10 port and all of the hard-working folks that are dedicating their time and knowledge to bring it to the rest of us!
The only thing I would humbly ask is that if it is possible, please don't forget about those of us in the "more-money-than-good-sense" crowd. (Also known as A501 owners. )
--ChipSharpDotCom

A500 always has update before A501, which make me thinking shouldn't get the A501 before
