Thats fantastic news

Awesome if it is true!! I am test driving the aosk ics right now and all I really miss is the hardware decoding.

Do you know if someone is compiling it right now?

What does this actually mean? Considering it was posted 2 days ago, i assume it has little to no bearing on getting ics to our tabs. I could be very wrong though

You are wrong. Those tegra drivers are needed for hd in ics.

I would assume that the kernel will be implemented in the latest CM9 kang, no? Any word on when a new version of that is coming out? They must be trying to fine tune it as there isn't a whole lot left to sort out. I mean pretty much the camera, some wonky animations and HD video playback. Even with those "drawbacks" it blows honeycomb out of the water. It truly is amazing!!

Agreed...as soon as they implement pershoots newest kernel into the most updated Kang I'm reflashing ICS....
The camera doesn't really bother me but as a daily driver, I need HD video playback.
So excited. I would assume the official Sammy release of ICS should come soon as I'm guessing they will push ICS to the 10.1 first out of all their tabs as it is technically their "ace" in the "bullpen" if you will.

I am completely not interested in an official Samsung update. This is the first ROM that I have ever flashed and I have no intentions of going back to stock. If it helps ROM development that would be great but a world without touchwiz is a beautiful thing.

How is 720p playback in this rom?

First Impressions of a new 10.1 owner.

Just got a new 10.1 yesterday and gave myself a day to see how much I like it. Speed is always a big deal for me. Im actually typing from the tab now. The keyboard isnt too bad, but I dont see a autocorrection so far, but have not looked into it. The speed of the Touchwiz and homescreens is much better than most had me believe. I dont have any lag between the tapping of the arrow and the animation to show the quick apps.
The tablet also came fully updated, as far as the tablet shows through the update wizard. I will eventually check up the dev section and make sure I have the latest update today or tomorrow. The touchscreen does show a bit of lag as far as drawing with the fingers but isnt too bad and rougly on course with the A100 from Acer, my previous tablet. Battery is also great, and came 50% charged when I bought it, and didnt drop below 40% for the 4 hours I had used it before throwing it on the charger and watching some youtube and netflix.
Anyways, that was a quick review, and I love the tablet as of right now, when I thought the Tw UX was going to be a pain, but hasshown to be opposite and not too bad.
Thanks,
Mike

I just ordered one of these. I dunno if I'll get it since the contract was too good to be true. Nonetheless, if it get it, it'll be a worthy successor to my übermodified ZTE Light.

try ADWlauncher ....is the best by far for interface

Go launcher HD... not on market, Google it .
It works flawlessly.

You should get "ADWlauncher Ex"
It's a very good launcher replacement, better than the stock one.
For the keyboard, you can try Thumb Keyboard
both apps aren't free... but it's worth it

Thanks all forth replies. I havebthe thumb keyboard already, but don't need a new launcher or anything yet, since the stock is working perfect. The next next thing I'm waiting on is the ics update in the coming months. I do plan to root this soon, but won't use an ics Rom since I use the cameras often. I may throw Task or overcome on this instead while I wait. Overall a very good tablet, and the detail is amazing as far as the resolution and everything else goes.

I have never liked ADW launcher and tried the Go HD launcher today and I don't like it either.. I'm with you, I enjoy the stock one the best..
Thumb Keyboard ROCKS and so does HD Widgets and Reader HD..
Task 14 is just as fast as ICS and its rock solid and stable...
Enjoy the Tab, I still love mine 6 months after buying it...

Mine came with Swype built in (a TMobile tab) and I rooted it, and uninstalled the installed version and use the newest one from their site. I just love the black keys.

Although, I've tried this and readily liked it. Isn't it still in beta2 with next to no options for changing anything? It's been a few days since I've checked so maybe its been updated again.

If you're needing help with the hard disk, you need to search first, and then if nothing is found make a new thread in Q&A section.
It will probably be missed in here and considered rude hijacking someone elses thread.

If you are on HC 3.2 you are alright, but if still on 3.1 I'd news astonished if you liked the touch wiz. It its just horrible. ADW EX its the lightest and the most heavily customisable. The most appealing is spb 3d. It its amazing but uses more ram.
However congrats for your new tab and hope you enjoy it;-)

The stock experience was great. Im using task 14 now and honestly don't see very much improvement in speed, but I always love a custom rom and root. Honestly I prefer stock launchers over custom ones for no apparent reason .

Is it worth flashing?

So guys I was asking myself "is it worth flashing?". Why you ask? Well because if I took a look in the development section and it doesn't look like any of the current roms out are stable and they all seem to have many know issues. So I would like to know what you have flashed and how you like the experience compares to stock rom?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

I have flashed a bunch of roms on this tab. Most of them are stable now. ALL of them running ics are better than the honeycomb touchwiz that comes pre installed. The only caveat I say to you, is that the camera still isn't working on the roms I've been using as my dailies. (Aokp and Nightlies) If that's a deal killer for you, then stay away from the ics builds for now. But I can tell you as someone who has a 2 year + old Droid Incredible running ics AND this tab running ics, I can never go back. Its just THAT good. Especially on this tab where it Truly shows off the big improvements on the OS.

I'm running a stock mod but the difference is pretty huge. No more constant reboots or hangs. Much faster too. Not using any special kernels either. The ROM I'm using has working GPS and camera. Haven't touched any roms with broken cam/GPS.

Can I ask which ROM you're using? (I thought there wasn't an ICS ROM with working camera...?)

He never said nor implied that he was using an ICS rom...

Ah OK. (Just realised you're right)

I'm using overcome 2.3.1. It's not ics. It's pretty nice. Went from multiple daily reboots to 3 or 4days of uptime. I use it a lot for reading, browsing, netflix, remote mgmt of servers and it holds up well. I bought 3 Samsung docks and have it hooked up to my home theater for music via hdmi, on my nightstand (ditched the tv in the bedroom) and another in my office. I wouldn't have been able to keep it without a rom. Give it a shot. Take your time and read up, it's pretty simple. I'm kinda pissed they made such a great tablet and put such a horrible buggy os on it.
I saw all the comments here suggesting to throw a rom on it to improve performance but I didn't put much stock in it. It's not an exaggeration. You have to ditch the tw launcher too. I'm using Go's tablet edition. I guarantee you will not go back to stock. I chose overcome because it's really stable. No point trying to escape bugs and using a buggy rom.
Getting off my soapbox now. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Yes that was one of my major concerns of ics. I'm running dark sides evolution 2 beta 3 on my sgs2. But when I came here to read about the 10.1 ics versions I was kind of sad. Because like it was said the 10.1 is awesome but cannot be used on stock w/o mods. I really just want to get on a stable release that doesn't have this issue where you could only charge your tab with the wall charger. I need a different kernal.

With Task v14, I feel that the Galaxy tab is vastly improved from the stock bloatware.
I don't really care about ICS on the Galaxy. Task 14 is so good, I don't see ICS as improving much. I have ICS running on HP Touchpad and Kindle Fire, right now.
it's nice, but IMHO not really worth all of the hype over an optimized GB ROM. YMMV.

Task v 14 is really great, highly recommend it over any ics roms.

Yeah I'm not even using any special kernel and have no probs charging.
I'm actually happy with my stock rooted GS2. The only problems I've had are few and far between and solved with a reboot.
I looked at all the major roms on the dev page and Overcome seemed to be the safest stable rom.

I use pocketcloud and terminal apps to access vnc, rdc and ssh sessions. I'm not using browsers at all except for some app/service config panels that require it and even those I mainly use remotely via vlc or rdc.

I think your info may be outdated there are a few very and very fast roms out there. I use galaxy task rom and it is very smooth really like night and day over stock.
Perhaps what might come off as unstable are the continuing work by the devs to keep improving the rom
Cm9 is excellent as well despite camera not working

my $.02: My use-case for my tablet is almost entirely at home. I have the Wi-Fi only model, so I don't do a lot of "mobile" stuff with it. I have a Galaxy Nexus phone which I generally carry everywhere.
What I thought: As a techie, I want everything to be fully working just because, and as a result I cannot accept a tablet without a working camera!
Real Life: I use my tablet for IM, web browsing, reading comics, and playing games, generally around the house or while commuting. That's actually it. Number of times I did a video chat on my tablet: 1. Number of times I actually wanted to video chat on my tablet: maybe 2. Because I work with a Galaxy Nexus all the time, having the same OS & ROM on both devices is honestly nicer / easier / more lazy-friendly. Its honestly pretty slick to have Chrome syncing across my computers, my phone, and my tablet.
I recently tried to go back to Honeycomb since I once again thought "gee maybe I should use the camera on my tablet". Honeycomb just feels like ICS with training wheels on it I really don't like it as much. This probably as much a placebo effect as anything. Also, the camera isn't as good as my Galaxy Nexus or my actual camera, and I feel like a douche holding my tablet up to take a picture. Would being able to Skype on my tablet be cool? Yes. Would I use it that often? No.
I'm going back to AOKP damnit. I can deal with a non-working camera for a while.
And GPS??? My device doesn't have mobile data, so it really doesn't matter to me that much, even though I thought it would.
Bottom Line: You can back all your stuff up, and you're not out anything, so why not try it?

i feel exactly the same, i just migrated to AOKP last night, and so far the benefits of it being a lot "zippier" is good. I do a lot of typing and multitasking viewing pdf and docs etc is a better experience on ICS than HC.....

[Q] Camera issues with AOSP

This has always been the case for me, even beyond this phone (my old EVO 4G had this problem too), and I'm wondering if there's some kind of solution.
I don't really want to go back to TouchWiz. Frankly I'd rather have the camera issues than go back to it. Well, sort of. I'm a little torn between the two to be honest, but I am very fond of AOSP.
There's always some type of focus issue. TW is always good with focusing. Sometimes I have to cover the camera and let it see black to force it to refocus. Even then, sometimes I get this problem where it focuses, but it goes out of focus right after. Beyond this, color doesn't match up as well as it does with taking a photo with the Samsung camera, but that's fine because I can Photoshop them. One of the most bothersome things, however, is that HDR never works and Night mode isn't nearly as good.
Right now I'm using Vanir, which is lovely. This isn't an issue unique to it though. I haven't ever had an AOSP ROM that had a camera working the way I like, except the Google Edition ROM that died (development-wise) here in August. Unless it was picked up again and it totally passed me by.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I will be very happy.
Thank you
Edit: I'm also just wondering why this may be the case if anyone knows, and if this is unique to me.

Why the Laser Auto Focus not working in cm12.1? (And a simple review about that Rom)

So guys i tried the cm12.1 (2-3 days ago) and its really awesome @Epipsychidion as i said i'll give a review here it is!! Stable?? Ofc Hell yeah!! Customization?? Seriously Alot!!! Everything working fine?? Yep!! More flawlessly than stock tbh!! i really love the cm rom! and Camera app dosent seem to be not that good ! but still not a big deal for me! i can use different app, and guys i found the audio clarity more better in cm 12.1 (Audio Fx is awesome) but one question, i can understand why fingerprint is not working because code is not there! But can anyone tell me why laser auto focus is also off?? also any tips for cm rom from the experienced users??
