"today in meeting Samsung told me no 3.0 for Galaxy Tab. (Problem = Hardware.)"
http://twitter.com/#!/SamFirmware/status/55600489827549184
To put these statements in perspective:
http://androidandme.com/2010/09/news/galaxy-tab-qa-honeycomb-tablet-coming-next-year/
"The Samsung Galaxy Tab will launch with FroYo (Android 2.2) and eventually be upgraded to Gingerbread (maybe Android 3.0), but Samsung said Honeycomb was for a different kind of tablet experience."
“Moving forward with Honeycomb, that will be used in the next generation tablet as it is specifically optimized for different type of tablet, and will be used on another product only.”
it stinks samsung, samsung ever for me, any product that carries this brand will be part of my house !!!!!!!!!!
he not take care of their customers and it will lose one today! of that there is a 7-inch tab with another brand, I buy, preference for HTC !!!
thanks for this news, even if it is bad
Have they posted the source for this 'quote'? Probably not. Things like this shouldn't be believed until its official.

I would take anything samfirmware takes with a pinch of salt. It was the same site that said Samsung IS updating to honeycomb not so long back.
Until Samsung themselves say anything ill wait.

"@SamFirmware: Samsung: No Android 3.0 for Galaxy Tab but free ipads for tab owners."
Agreed! Lets wait for an official response but I'm pretty sure its true.
Ps-this has nothing to do with development do why did you put it in this section? We all need to do our part in cleaning & maintaining these threads.

These are the same people who have bricked more tabs than fixed.
I trust Samfirmwares as far as I can throw a fat kid. Bout 2 inches.
I dont see an abysmal difference between 2.2, 2.3 ... 3.0, everything works pretty much the same. the layout of 3.0 may not be the best for a 7inch tablet anyways... perhaps google will meet us halfway and release something that is not 3.0 but will run apps made for 3.0 or something like that. if we never get 3.0 its not going to be a big deal for me, maybe I am on a different situation because I just got it, and most of you have had it for while. and I could get the xoom if 3.0 was that big of a deal but I've played with the xoom and its just too big for me, I like the portability of the galaxy tab and that is more imporant that having honeycomb.
Honeycomb was the last reason to keep GTAB... now i will sell it and buy Kindle...

How many devices are out there right now with ROMs on them that aren't official or haven't even been released?
Crummy reason to give up the best available tablet on the market today. (That's called an opinion, and I'm entitled to mine)
I'm fairly confident that at some stage we will have fully functional and stable honeycomb on our tabs. Does it really matter if it's not an official Samsung release?
After all, if all we're interested in is getting official updates from vendor sources then there's little or no point being on these forums.
Have faith in the developers here, in my opinion they provide more reliable roms than the vendors!
just one question, what the hell do you guys expect? if somebody port honeycomb to the tab we will have it. but whats the point? what you are actual missing on your tab? why need sooo much honeycomb? i guess in 95% of all cases its just the childish "must have" instinct like me....
so stay calm, lets enjoy our tab and stop to blame samsung....
I did quite trust the dev here, more than a samsung, but I am disappointed to have paid a very expensive tablet and end samsung not take care of customers, but many want our money !!!
I do not like their politics !!!
I trust samfirmware saying no honeycomb for the galaxy tab as much as I trust apple to tell me a quote from samsung[1]. wait for official sources to confirm or deny.

Maybe because some apps will only work on honeycomb.
Can anyone here honestly say that they bought there Tab because Samsung said that it would get Honeycomb? I don't recall Samsung ever officially saying anything of the sort personally, though I stand ready to be corrected!
Yes, it would be really nice to get an official Honeycomb ROM, but when I bought my Tab I knew it was coming with Froyo and I knew that Samsungs track record in the past with respect to new Android versions wasn't great.
If we get Gingerbread out of Samsung, I'd say that was a win personally.

Dave
EDIT: Interesting article here dated September 2010, where Samsung effectively say that the Tab 7" wouldn't get Honeycomb.
HoneyComb IS here...
Hey guys its actually already been done. A russian developer already flashed it, and it works. ofcourse its an alfa version and there are tons of stuff that is not working, but that means in a few weeks and with all the smart people we have here, it will be done. Here is the link

even htc flyer will be offered honeycomb.

Erhhh, you're coming a bit late to the party here!
a) This is based on the work of spacemoose1 from these forums for CDMA Tabs.
b) Many people here have flashed it or tried flashing it.
c) At best, it can be considered a very early alpha - it isn't in a state where you could remotely use it as a daily driver!

Exactly!
Archos update support is great
They even released a Update for the Gen7 (Archos 5 Internet Tablet) with Android Donut (1.6) in April '11
This device has released in spring 2009!
2 and a half years of updates Considering by this we'll get updates till summer 2013 (At least)
I gave up hope, sold my A101 and bought me an Acer Iconia A500.
There is only one thing which I am missing from the Archos and that's the supported videocodecs of the A101.
Now being changed to the Acer, I won't ever buy an Archos again. Not for it being a worse product, but because of not answering my supportquestions, only auto-reply's.
Good luck to you all !

The World need more optimists...
I have had no issues with archo support. They replied with in 2 days of my question( not auto reply). also the device works great as is. I just rooted and that was it. I don't run urk i just did some simple mods like move the buttons to notification and a custom boot animation. other than that my tab works fabulous. The only thing that archos needs to fix is the random reboot while sleeping thing but even that isn't enough to make me pay over $500 for a tablet.
And yes i think we will get more updates. I think that they (Archos) may be waiting for Ice cream sandwich to be released, since the honeycomb source code seems to be a highly guarded secret. but hey i am willing to wait and see, and then if after ICS gets released we don't get a update soon i may be swayed to buy something else.
Quite frankly I'm almost at the point of ditching my A101. I love it dearly, however these last few weeks the touch screen has turned to being the most awkward thing I have ever used, it won't respond to anything for a few minutes, then be great after that. This could be a software issue, but either way it's something that didn't used to happen and quite frankly just shouldn't happen.
Also, honeycomb tablets are *&%^ing all over the Archos. If the 7-inch Acer iconia turns out to be good, I'm on it as soon as I can be.
Hope not but who knows

As regards the Samsung team, you obviously missed the fun SGS owners enjoyed waiting for the upgrades from Eclair to GB.
So I have an A 70, a SGS and as of last week an SGS 2. I love them all. They will all be obselete within a year. The A 70 is getting old, but I have been at IT long enough to know that in reality I use the mobile devices for

I smile when I read about devices only delivering half the functionality they should and and the like. You are buying a nascent technology.
So cheers to everyone who actually likes the Archos and thanks Sauron.

The SGS is the I9000 model right ?
And if I watched at the samfirmware site the official Android Froyo is available for this model since at least august 2010 and official Gingerbread 2.3.3 since at least march 2011, so before it was available for the SGT !!!
So may be you don't know how to use kies or where to find the information... ^^

Most of those initial releases were unofficial internal ones full of bugs. Took ages to get a stable 2.2 rom. Head over to the 19000 forum and see all the *****ing about slow samsung updates.
Kies only updates when your local phone carrier adopts a new rom, so I didnt use it much.
Look I got the phone last July and the software was fairly horrific. Huge lags due to the rfs filesystem and software. Took about 6 months before official roms were decent. Up until then, to have a good experience you needed to root/lagfix/use custom rom.
Cyanogenmod 7 final version is either available for the I9000 for "some times" already.

Can you say the same thing with the Archos ???
What about pluging USB stick or HDD with the USB Host ??? ^^

Hmmm. I thought when you were talking about productivity you meant work apps as opposed to enhanced emailing and media.
I don't care is my device will be obselete within a year or not as I'm sure I can use it for SOME years, just as I used my Palm Lifedrive for over ten years. THIS device is quite obsolete but at least I really used it and it was worth the buying.
The Archos 70IT was obselete from the first day it came out and it came out before the Samsung Galaxy Tab was available, and it was truely functional "out-of-the-box" from the very first day.

As I said in my post, I bought the Archos becuase on balance I thought it was much better value for money at the time than the alternatives. Sure there is better value now - look at the way the AUS price for the tab was slashed recently to 299 aus dollars for the 3g one.
Look at the XDA Galaxy Tab section for the alternative firmware as opposed to the gen8 Archos... ^^
I don't deny the work made by Sauron, but I wished I could flash my A70IT just as with the Samsung Galaxy (of any kind) and just revert back if I don't like the alternative firmwares !

I don't own a SGS, so I can't tell but at least you have an fair alternative and you can revert back to original if you don't like it while this is mostly impossible with Archos, specially with official firmwares...
Are you stubborn as most Archos owners are ???
I don't know any SGT owners ever been abandoned by Samsung even after a bricked devices and even after a custom ROM failure. Samsung repairs their devices according to the warranty and including phone carrier versions !!!
Click to expand...

That is just rubbish. Standard return instructions for a bricked phone are pretend you were upgrading the firmware with Kies and you dont know what happened. Never came across a case where they replaced a bricked phone where they were told it was bricked.
Oh and in the SGS II they have a kernel flashing counter where the phone records when you flach a new kernel. Nice little warning triangle left on the phone when you do so. Apparently you can reset the counter, but this trigers another counter reset.
You are not being realistic about warranty cover.
I own about 10 Netbooks/laptops/tablet PC and even a Desktop for productivity, so I just wanted to use my Tab for fun : browsing, emailing, media and eBooks Reading. Unfortunatly I can't use my Archos for this purpose as it is useless except to hold my paper books or as a luxuary coaster...
I built myself an Android-x86 Froyo for my Acer 1825ptz Tablet PC, and it's working pretty fine. Even wireless connectivity is more reliable and more stable than with the Archos. LOL

this in change is good news for SGS i9000 and it variants, as the NS i9020 is very similar to our phone
update Koush already made it available to flash via CWR for i9020
This is great news - the ICS ports on the SGS are pretty damn good already, with this we should have some nice improvements.
AND Android 4.0.3 was released today... http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-4-0-3-announced/

if anyone is interested to see a preview:

From what i was able to observe in that video it seems smooth, but i would have definitely treated it a bit harsher just to see when it starts lagging/if it all xD
Hey all, tried searching the forum to make sure this already wasnt posted up, and found nothing, so here it goes!
While doing some homework on the latest official ICS release for the SGS2, came across a thread somebody linked up in the SGS2 forums regarding the new firmware release, with that was some new info on new firmware to come for the SGS1 and other devices by months end! Looks like this could be that "Value Pack" that was leaked/talked about some months back. Although not ICS, at least Samsung still have the First gen galaxy still in mind - Check the link from their Facebook page! Apologies if this is already posted up somewhere, if not, go nuts peeps and start getting excited i guess

Wonder if it will be enough for people to switch back from the various custom roms, doubt it though. I'm happy with MIUI until phone upgrade time comes around.

Not in this case.... If they do the same as with the ICS of SGS2, (but without ICS, just their crapy mod) you better look for a good custom ICS or enjoy gingerbread for the rest of you life...! Seriously, aosp ICSSGS works tremendously, you can consider it almost as stock ROM, and forget about Samsung and their ****...
Not to mention some carriers like Bell here in Canada are unlikely to push another update. Pretty sure they will leave it with the crappy 2.3.3 rom.
It may be interesting to see what they come up with but I doubt it will compare to ICS ports like ICSSGS. The big question will be lag and UI jerkiness: ICSSGS has almost none, it's night and day compare to any of the 2.1-2.3.x Samsung roms I've run.
It's probably just referring to the official release of the JVU value pack.

I can almost guarantee there wont be an update for carrier branded variants around the globe, just too much work for them in their eyes to deliver updates when they can sell something new an updated, and continue with the same cycle! Just look at the US, all the variants for each carrier and pretty much no love which has to suck! Whereas this news relates to unbranded handsets, which gets looked after just fine IMHO. Ok, updates arent always flying through but who really cares, as long as it works! I have an unlocked i9000 (euro version) and am now on the official JW1 (via kies) and have not had a single problem what so ever! But ill take whatever update that comes. If it keeps my SGS kicking till the S3 arrives, then im happy. Just good to hear Samsung is taking this stuff seriously. Again may not be ICS but still good on them for doing something. People can keep blaming Samsung for lack of updates, but most that do that are on branded handsets and should be hounding their carriers for an update!

Hey i'm Chriss-not an owner of Find 5 but wish i was....
I love Find 5....even it's website lists that it supports XDA,which is like a "Loyal King".
I want to buy it and i 'm trying,i checked out the xda tread and i saw official CM10.1 which really cool but there's nothing else except
AOSP.I mean if you guys can make a some-what stable CM10.1....you guys could easily make more roms like Paranoid,PAC,MIUI would be awesome on 1080p display,and many other roms....more you make better,try out-of-box like firefox os...These things make news and make the device more popular,which brings in more support,donors etc...:good:
So dev who are try hard to fix cm bugs and are stuck build some other roms also ....don't mind the bugs that arise which can be fixed later
I would like to wish the team Best Of Luck! :victory:
Just be patient.
The cm10.1 rom was only released yesterday.:good:
With working and stable CM10.1 and AOSP Roms it's easier to port other Roms that are based on either of them.
I'd much rather have those two up and running in a near perfect state before we get a bunch of people that bricked their phones because they jumped on an alpha of Paranoid Android and they have no clue how to restore them.

Yeah. CM kangs almost never appear until CM is mostly complete for a device, and we didn't release until yesterday.
This device has only had kernel source available for sometime around a month, and isn't exactly widely available. Good development takes time.
FYI, CM went from "developers received the device" to "95% working" in less than two weeks, with the first week of that being research and laying the groundwork for a port. Most of the actual coding was done over the past weekend. Of course, this was only possible due to devices that came before us, like the Xperia Z.
It's amazing how much easier Qualcomms are to work with than Exynos.
Good lord.
Okay, you have two approaches to encourage development chrissmartin.
1) Knock yourself out and build a ROM of your own
2) Donate money to an existing developer who's working on a ROM / kernel... whatever you think is of value to you.
I don't know if you've done either, but short of those two options, please don't be 'that guy'. It's a new device in many respects, as Entropy pointed out. You want a ton of ROM's ASAP...go hop on the Sammy bandwagon.

2) Donate money to an existing developer who's working on a ROM / kernel... whatever you think is of value to you.
I don't know if you've done either, but short of those two options, please don't be 'that guy'. It's a new device in many respects, as Entropy pointed out. You want a ton of ROM's ASAP...go hop on the Sammy bandwagon.

Not gonna get that on Exynos BTW.... All of the Exynos4 CM maintainers are barely touching their devices, and so far, not a single person with maintainer experience has expressed interest in the Exynos5-based GS4. (As to Qualcomm-based GS4s - Some CM people are getting them, but myself and the other ex-Teamhacksung guys are going elsewhere.)
Edit: Obviously, other people can pick up the ball and take a crack at the Exynos5 GS4, but so far, I have not encountered anyone with an interest. All of the people with AOSP-on-Exynos experience I've talked to are done with the platform, and expect Exynos5 "Octa" to be even worse than the Exynos4 was. There's always the possibility we'll get a pleasant surprise from Samsung, but I have very little hope given that they completely failed to deliver on their promises made at the Big Android BBQ.
^ very good to know, thanks Entropy!
First of all!
I'm sorry....i thought cm10.1 had been released weeks or months before...so that's why,i asked
Xiaomi themselves have described the Find 5 as " most likely next" and I'd prefer if miui was made by them.

You won't see any discussion of their port here due to their rampant GPL noncompliance.
They're kangers of the worst sort.
I'm sure the ROMs are coming, wait til CM 10.1 is mostly stable, I'm impressed how quickly development is proceeding already.
^^ same. CM came quick! This phone is just barely starting to grab peoples attention. Its a slow start because its not an HTC or a Samsung, or a Sony... or an LG lol. This is their first international phone ever and it's the first time anyone has even heard of OPPO in the mobile world.

Things are really starting to flow now, can't wait to try out al the current custom roms
Rule one is to not ask for ETF, and perhaps make a donation.
