Has the Official Icecream Sandwich rom been previewed yet?

Has anyone here seen a preview of the officiel Samsung icecream sandwich rom for the Galaxy Tab 10.1? Scheduled to be released by end of next month?

Unfortunately no. There's a number of preliminary roms leaked from samsung for the Galaxy II, but so far none was leaked for the GT 10.1. We anxiously wait for a leak, because drivers can be extracted from it and solve the non-working camera problem in recent CM9 builds and other problems as well.
In the meantime, if you want to feel ICS in your GT10.1, I really recommend the CM9 kangs in the dev forum. You'll feel like the tab worth the money after trying it

Not yet

I just installed kangs. Its nice but no camera which I can deal with.

This thread is asking about the official release rom, not the kangs. Please post accordingly.

Whennn ??
I hope as soon as possible. I want a stable ics rom.

Although the Kangs are very very good over honeycomb, battery life in the last few builds has been horrible to say the least. I have been using ROMs from mabalito & pershoot since a month now but both seem to drain the battery pretty quickly even after all the wiping, etc. Even personal hotspot is very dodgy. And WIFI issues are far too many since the last 5-6 builds. It is very irritating to keep checking every morning whether a new ics build with a fix is out or not. I am going back to honeycomb until the samsung leaks start happening.

To bad your second link is irrelevant to the op asking about 10.1 tab.

I'm guessing we wont see it officially until Samsung releases those new old tablets.

I would like ICS too. Like ASAP!

Don't think we'll ever see ics . The only to is to buy the same tab again...

Waiting for ICJB - Ice Cream Jelly Bean

Can´t wait for samsung ICS, i use AOKP since months and i am very satisfied.
Now i actually use build 28, on the 10.1 TAB and on my Galaxy S Handy,
same look and feel on both devices.

The preview should basically be the same as Galaxy Note 10.1 with touchwiz Icecream Sandwich...coz more or less GTab 10.1 and GNote 10.1 fall in the same category of tablets...but however I prefer a full stock experience of AOSP...Hope touchwiz ICS won't disappoint like the touchwiz HC... ...still looking forward to Jellybean..!!

Just bought a gtab.

What to look out for? What rom/kernel combo opinions? Anything else to know?

I'm in the same boat. I've heard something about a honeycomb ROM called task 14 that is supposed to be really stable.

What version? 3g or wifi only? Task is wifi. Overcome is for wifi+3g. Both are very stable.

Hey, your the guy who was selling the CDMA Gnexus?!?!
how u doing?
Basically, you have 2 choices really for Honeycomb roms: Task14 or Overcome 2.3.1 or something like that. Although Bindroid, Infamous and Fluffy rom r also pretty gd
If u want a taste of ICS: i would recommend CM9, or one of the kangs. Also u could try AOKP, which i think is on milestone 5
hope this helpsss
How much did u get for the nexus in the end? :L

Thanks guys Its a gt7510, what ever that means, haven't had a chance to Google it. Adam, ended up trading the gnex for an lg spectrum which is ridiculous hardware wise, the one rom that's available for it with the kernel runs at 1.83ghz without heating up apparently, support is starting to build up, ics is supposedly being released soon and its factory boot loader unlocked.

task and his ROMs are the best you'll find...i've been running task 14 since the day i pulled my tab out of the box..with pershoots kernel its the best

If you don't mind giving up your camera until official ICS is out, I'd give pershoot's ICS builds a try. They're lightyears ahead of any HC ROMs out there. You'll love your GTAB like you never thought possible.

Have a digi can and a phone. I don't need a 10" camera.lol. thanks guys!

[Q] Which is better ? ICS from Samsung or CM9

I am looking at getting ICS from Samsung on mt GT 10.1, but it's already rooted, and if I want the official ICS, I have to un-root it. Not sure how I will do this. But before going through all this, I want to know what users prefer: ICS from Samsung or CyanogenMod ?
BTW: What's the safest way to un-root a GT 10.1 ? I got mine from USA, although I am in Canada.
Thanks

uhh? maybe i'm slow in australia but i didnt think ICS was out yet? would be the best surprise if it was...

I prefer ICS from Samsung as it will have no bugs also I like touchwiz

In order to unroot flash a stock rom OR remove su from /system/bin and delete superuser.apk from system/system apps and reboot OR download SuperSU from market which does the same!
None can tell you which rom is best. I personally prefer cm but I haven't seen the official yet. The safest way was, and will be to try them both!

Try ACS's method
I unrooted mine last night in prep for the official release rumored to come out anytime soon. I used this method:
[ACSyndicate] [How-To] Root/Unroot The SGT 10.1 GT-P7510 USA Retail WiFi Only http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971
As for the diff's between CM9 and official ICS, ICS should have a working camera, but when the libs are released, you can bet your bottom dollar that these geniuses will have a modded rom based on it shortly.

If it's like ICS for the SGS2, I'd prefer Samsung's. They did a nice job and Task will clean it up well.

You don't need to unroot to get the update, i updated 4 times without unrooting using kies, and to unroot without the need to flash a new rom use (gingerbreak.apk ) and choose option unroot it works for me.

+1...we all blame Samsung for being the last to offer the update, but 3.2 was flawless for me...even battery life. The battery, which supposedly lasts 9 hours, lasted 10 with really hard use (3g constantly on, email sending, a little gaming, and 4 episodes of game of thrones and of course browsing and keeping an eye on xda...)

You don't need to unroot and I wouldn't be surprised if a dev released a rooted stock ICS rom before the actual release date

If I read this correctly, you're confirming that an update to ICS for your SGS2 in available in Hartford, CT?

Will they instead release JB, now that it is out ?
I am wondering here whether it will be worth going to ICS and then, instead of jumping directly to JB. Could it be what Samsung is/was waiting for ? Now that I have the tools to properly restore HoneyComb 3.2 anytime, I will wait and see, but until then, I will enjoy this CM [early] version of Jelly Bean. You can find the details here.

There is no such thing as "no bugs", it is just the nature of software being coded by human beings and the thousands (if not millions) of lines of code it takes to make all this stuff work. I think people don't understand what it actually takes for these companies to put out these updates. It is amazing to me that they get them out as quickly as they actually do to be honest.

I don't want to be a troll, but the answer to the question "ics official or cm9" is "cm10". Up until 3 days ago I was with stock 3.2 waiting for oficial ICS, but after reading the thread about cm10 preview I decited to try it and after installing it's like having a new tablet. It amazingly fast and rock solid stable. With 3.2 I've never used the task switcher button, because it was terrible slow. Now with JB I can't live without it.
It's still a preview version, but really I don't want more. The only thing is the missing camera, but I never use it.

Putting JB on my tab made me feel like I got a whole new tab.

ICS is better by 1.7. It hasn't been proven, but it is scientific fact.

Difference is way lengthy and it will account for ICS. But to my experience, in short, GB is way more polished, stable and finished, ICS is not, it is still immature. Oh, doesn't matter what ICS. Both Stock ICS and AOSP.

+1 on that...
I feel the same... GB feels a little more polished...
I am using CM9 and i love it...
I tried CM7 too but since they stopped developing it i didnt feel safe or happy ( dont know the right word ) using it...
I would """ATM""" and really """ATM""" prefer a fully funcional CM7 or any other AOSP/AOKP GB Rom...

The Best difference for me was
In ICS you can DISABLE Stuff you dont want like...
I have disabled all the music hub, games hub, social hub and readers hub as I never used them.
along with the news and weather app and kobo and yahoo finance
so thats one great feature I like.

i was a nokia fan,untill android came out i got diff droids now an wat i expirenced is the phones r made for wat firmware they come outa box an one update not a totally new firmware...its a logical fact (money factor)

ICS is Blue
ICS has a loyal following of idiots .
Not much else to say .

ICS requires Bluetooth Pairing to send files = Backward step - worked well in Gingerbread

ICS is windows 7
GB is Windows Vista, if you understand what I mean.
BUT, ATM, there are few bugs in ICS that need polishing. It's not yet as stable as it should e.g.
-Black screen of death. Screen just goes black for no reason and the only way out is to reboot.
-Wifi at times does not switch on. It turns pale green to indicate it is initiating 'turning on' but hangs there. Solution is to reboot out wait a long while.
-WiFi direct crashes when you are connected for to long e.g. sending large files.
-Wifi direct experiences pairing problems.
But all the positive overshadow the negative. It's to much to be said. With every new ICS release comes the polishing of bugs, just as was with GB

More like XP reliable and works but not as something that ICS will eventually have .
The bugs in ICS following on from GB should not be in the build or they learnt nothing .
So far ICS has no improvement over my current GB set up and that's after trying 50 odd ICS builds .

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

gb seems more polished, because it had 12 months to fully develop, till it was "finished" with version 2.3.7.
the first few samsung stock roms with 2.3.3 were terribly buggy and had a horrible battery life. it took 8 months since the first release for the GB roms to get as good as they are now.
then come the noobs that think that ics will magically work from the first day on with samsung stock roms and all the customizations they put into it. and now that the hype is over, people start realizing that ics with touchwiz is not really better than GB, especially since there are still bugs but given enough time, it will eventually become better than GB.
aosp ics is way better than gingerbread, for every single reason listed in the link on the first page. there are dozens of features i use every day that i would miss if i ever went back to GB. face unlock, the search bar on each home screen (w/o taking away space for widgets or icons), new and better widgets, chrome...
but everybody is entitled to their own opinion and since everybody knows the differences or can look them up in the link on the first page, this thread is redundant and reported.

is it fast than GB?

not a good idea, our tab is way better. your giving up better processor and screen for JB that is ruined by touch wiz and most likely be just as laggy as stock ics on our tab? i don't see where you are going. Stick to our tab, performance wise there wouldn't be much difference and there are JB roms you could flash in our rom thats actually really good! Just my opinion

Tab 7.7 surely has better specs.
but software that makes the different now.
willing to sacrifice for software..

What if somebody with a great mind and come up with a custom rom based on Tab 2's JB. Would that be possible.?

GT7.7 + CM10 == better hardware + better software. Even the wireless works fine under CM10, while under stock it's completely unreliable. Plus, you get more usable RAM.

Using BSPlayer, I still haven't had a problem with codecs or hardware acceleration under CM10. Of course, YMMV (and the default CM10 video player is, to put it mildly, not very good).

Many people have recommend BSPlayer amongst others but still no good it seems that is needed to reconvert all my movies to mkv format. The only issue with that is that with half of the ones I own I was only able to convert them to wmv before being locked due to the movie studios restrictions. I have given up on any CM roms because of this drawback since the devs are not willing to keep the codecs from stock firmware.
