From what it looks like, it will be based on a new arm cpu, which is not compatible with msm7227, so it will be very difficult to port its os to mini/x8 phones.

The only thing I'm waiting for is that tasty four corner launcher. Mmmmmmm...

Yeah, me too, but if it will be like the old one, with one widget per homescreen, it's just as pointless as the old version... Besides, want folders? Use GO launcher

GO launcher is laggy and drains battery fast, also app drawer isn't transparent anymore.
****!

Do you think that it could be an update for x8?

But there are still some kinks in Oxygen and maybe we could use some official Gingerbread code to fix that

"Initially, model runs on Android 2.2 Froyo, at the end of summer it will upgrade to 2.3, which slightly increase the speed."

Only slightly?

And i think too, that 2.3 will not make it run faster. Yes 2.2 wins hands down versus 2.1. Maybe it will help to use phone more because of improved power management, but in performance area i think there will be no improvements that user can feel.
It's just our desire to get latest and greatest.. but as with windows happens - the latest is not always the greatest..rather apposite i'd say

Well let's hope on FK to bring us the performance to the phone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZnDt2wEFjk)

The closer and closer we get to the Unpacked event we get to see their sweets. Either way the UI is nice and I hope they changed the media player and Music

I found this about a half hour ago, saying that and Samsung are going to postpone http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...d-Google-cancel-Nexus-Prime-phone-launch.html unpacked.

Saw the video and I really really like the UI a lot!! Hopefully the prime will go to tmobile in December or even January, hope it does.... I prefer this because it will be the latest and the greatest smartphone with its non-capacitive button design and latest OS..

if that's real, it looks alright. though, i'm surprised at kernel 3.0.1. the switch to 3.0 was just over two months ago, so it would surprise me to see it on android already (considering Ubuntu is still on 2.6.38 and Fedora is using 2.6.40, i would think the full linux distros would be changing the kernel version to 3.0 before android).

Hopefully with Google improving Androids UI, less manufacturers would mess with it.

^^ the manufacturers will always have their own signature of android launcher to differentiate their devices from the rest.. I don't mind it at all as long as they make the UI better and add useful functionality into it..
Is ICS gonna be 2.4 or 4.0?

I just wish that manufacturers would make their launcher work like any other third party launcher instead of integrating it like they do.

If it's a straight Google phone, won't the launcher be ICS stock?

Just something I noticed. Where is the "battery use "in the settings?

I think the fonts are better than current Android versions, but I'm not that impressed.
It's still asking for OEMs to molest it, as well, which is unfortunate.
Not enthused.

Galaxy Note 10.1 at MWC with ICS... Some leak?

I think if we manage to get a copy of the ROM loaded on Galaxy Note 10.1, we would have a good version of ICS for our Note.
Hardware is exactly the same!

No phone functionality though, which likely limits it's usefulness!
That being said, I would lay odds on the fact that the Note 10.1 ICS ROM is based on the Note 5.3's ICS ROM anyway, so it's unlikely any leaked version would be any more stable than those we already have.

Dave

True, indeed.

Could be great to see full tablet mode on note 5,3

Certainly it would help ROM development but what we really need is a more stable ROM for our own devices and kernel sources!

Probably bluetooth headset?
I would rather they keep the voice calling feature available rather than disabled.

Thanks for the video. I love how so many new apps can be floating ones now in jb. Really makes this tablet a multitasking beast with its 2gb of RAM.

Super smooth I like, hope the official release is soon.

I found that the triangle away can't reset the hardware totally anymore.

Where the heck did the guy get this from ? It´s an absolute "wanna have NOW " !!!!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm READY RIGHT THIS INSTANT FOR JELLYBEAN! I'm enjoying it too much on my Nexus 7. Plus the posted video shows how great an early build of if can run.
I'm still amazed how great the note 10.1 runs on stock set up. I feel no need or rush To root. Can't wait till the developement picks up for us. Custom kernels is what I crave. I can easily see this Exynos4 hitting over 2ghz. If Nexus 7 is hitting those speeds, we should also.

That JB update looks awesome, can't wait to get this beast :laugh:
Dousan...

@dermandarin
Uhm..due to the build of the processor which is the same as in the galaxy note 1&2 and the galaxy s3, even the s2 I think, it will only be possible to get +-1.74 GHz out of them.

So the leak is for the N8000, but it can be installed on the N8010? I know my model number is N8013, what are the differences between these models and are the firmwares cross compatible?
