Galaxy Note ICS Update Pushed to Q2 - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Great... I really think ICS is for the Note is somehow tricky to do for Samsung...
So Q2 to get a new kernel source or can we hope the developers get another lucky sooner?
Engadget link:
MOD Edit: Link Removed
What do you guys think?

It's not good is it?!
I have a Note and an S2 - unable to decide which one to keep... ICS on the S2 is amazing (Omega Rom). No ICS on the Note does suggest that Samsung are having issues, which they are trying to push aside with the anouncement of a "Premium Suite".
I was very much in favour of the superior Note but with the S2 being solid & reliable with ICS already I am leaning back towards it.
Hopefully a leak will allow the Devs here to get stuck in and bring customised/optimised ICS Roms to us sooner.

I think samsung shuld employ more developers to be able to support its countless phones.
They have released more than 10 models in a year!

Official ICS slated for a Q1 2012 release !

Samsung has cemented its plans for the roll-out of Ice Cream Sandwich, and it looks likely to land on most of its top drawer Android devices. This (unsurprisingly) includes the Galaxy S II, its LTE variant, the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy R and whole range of Samsung tabs, from the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus to the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The update is penned to arrive first on both the Galaxy S II and Note in Q1 2012, with other devices following, although the Korean giant says that separate announcements will be made on the finer points -- depending on the "market situation and carriers' requirements". Source: Engadget
I for one, cannot wait for this - BUT to be honest, I am actually looking forward for a pure AOSP ROM of ICS on the Tab 10.1

From what they've implied, Touchwiz will mainly be support software for better hardware. It will fade as a UI.
waiting for it badly
I hope they roll out OTA a bit quicker than they've managed with 3.2.. Sure, we are many who know how to download a release to flash with odin, but that's still kind of a bother compared to just accepting an OTA ;-)
Honestly, with CM9 coming to the GT10.1, I really don't care about what Samsung is pushing (except, of course, the improvements it may bring to custom ROMs...).
As someone who owned two Samsung supported phones before my Nexus S (Moment and Epic 4G) how is Samsung with tablet support? My experience with them for phone support is that they have no clue what they are doing with software, always late with deadlines, and what they do send out is lackluster. Hence I grabbed a Nexus S since Google supports that.. I took a gamble with the tab..

They're getting the hang of the software thing, but they also add quite a bit of good stuff to their devices that you can't see. (codecs, drivers, etc...)
Hopefully what that guy ^ said is true and they don't focus on the UI at all this time.
So we will be getting ics after march as galaxy s2 and galaxy note will get it the first 3 months and only after that to the other devices ie galaxy tab
So my bet is still with cm9

I'm with you here. The support on the Galaxy S I had was lackluster, if it wasn't for custom roms I never would have kept that phone long.
Im waiting for the ICS ROMS for our tabs. I just got a beta ICS on my Mytouch and I'm in love.

few custom roms

why there is not many custom rom for galaxy tab 7.7 p6800 like the other tabs ?
and if it will be when it can be done (any custom rom )
pleaseeeeee in form me
thanks
I've concluded from some of the threads that this tab was released after the announcement that it would be getting an ICS update. Or close to it.
So as the update is expected soon, I expect the devs are waiting for that prior to putting all the efforts into android 3.2 roma.
Efforts are underway on a ICS port, but I'd guess the official release would expedite that quite a alot.
I'm hoping for a flood of ICS roms when its released
Yep. This is the coolest tab on the market right now. No sense wasting time on HC with ICS about to officially appear. It does feel weird to have this thing pretty much stock though. Using ADW launcher has helped the laginess.
Samsung slow motion
Samsung makes the best hardware devices but the worst software support
Please Samsung release ics for tab 7.7!!!!!
Samsung softwares are crap!!..they should:
- hire new developers to improve their software and to support their devices with new updated android versions instead of releasing new hardwares evey few days!!.

Oh, quit all the grumbling. ICS will have issues as well. "Lag" on Honeycomb means a second or two here or there unless you have other problems with your Tab. Meanwhile, go watch a video or read something.
ATM I'm on sk806's tweaked rom. No complains so far. Seem better than stock, while waiting for ICS...

Samsung GALAXY S II won't get the ICS 4.0.4 Update, Only Minor FW update in Q4,2012

Well guys, is this true ? Acording to yourmobile.org:
Samsung GALAXY S II GT-I9100 is the previous flagship Android device from Samsung, who has been replaced with the Galaxy S III. Lately, Galaxy S II users received the ICS 4.0.3 update in many regions and U.S. users update has been delayed. Users who already updated their device to 4.0.3 is facing some bugs & issues and asking about future Updates to ICS 4.0.4, like the one on the Galaxy S III.Unfortunately, According to our sources, Samsung have no plans to Update the Galaxy S II I9100 to ICS 4.0.4, the main reason is not yet clear.
However, Samsung won't leave the users with these bugs and planning to release a Minor OTA (Over The Air) Update to fix these bugs by the end of the year, probably about Q4,2012 or may be earlier, but do NOT expect this minor software to upgrade your device to any further ICS build version (4.0.4) or even to JellyBean (4.1.0).
Are you retarded ?? Search before you post fool!! And S2 will the 4.0.4 update
Highly doubt it.
Galaxy S went from 2.1 > 2.2 > 2.3 (2 major updates)
So far S2 has gone 2.3 > 4.0 (1 major update)
So we're due at least 4.1!
Samsung's got 4.0.4 working already on S3, meaning they have touchwiz working with the new Android version, so to not give it to us would be not only lazy but downright disrespectful to customers who paid £400+ on this FLAGSHIP phone. It hasn't been 18 months yet, we should still get support. And as for Q4 2012 for a minor release? 6 months for just bug fixes? That really would be pushing it too far.
If this turns out to be true, which I think unlikely, but if it does then I am not buying Samsung again. Only a Google Nexus or Windows Phone 8.

Samsung has to be mad to abandon S II just after weeks of S III release...u don't just throw a device out of the window the very next day after a new device release...I highly doubt Samsung will abandon such a great device so quickly
But I'm more interested in the jelly bean update...any news on that??

Samsung details Jelly Bean upgrade roadmap - Galaxy Tab 10.1/10.1v is not on the list

Our beloved tablet Galaxy 10.1/10.1.v never going to get official JB upgrade by Samsung!
Source Link:
http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-details-jelly-bean-upgrade-roadmap-and-its-not-all-good-24248943/
I know this is not Android development post, but I just want to make sure our beloved developers know the news, and they are the only ones left now that can bring fully functional JB ROMs to our tablet. I really hope they can start spending more time on JB ROM development.
Your justification/reason for posting this in the development section is definitely not sufficient.
I am disappointed by Samsung not upgrading GT 10.1 for three reasons
1. GT 10.1 was released *after* GS2, and GS2 gets JB.
2. GT 2 10.1 is so similar to GT 10.1, that if Samsung just pays a little more effort, they can upgrade GT 10.1, too.
3. GT 10.1 was a flagship device, just last year.
Probably it is because GT 10.1 did not sell well as Samsung expected, due to iPad or all that Apple legal stuff. Well, but I can still enjoy GT 10.1 as it is (4.0). And I hope Samsung would release a bigger and faster one (like 12 inch or something). Then I would sell GT 10.1 cheaply and move on to that device.
Well it is ok, i hate touchwiz as a lot of people and we have good developers that will bring CM10 full functionally, but it is mean that probably we will have problems with drivers for futures updates.
start a facebook and twitter protest along with a youtube video
I bet they will pay attention. At the least force them to release the code so others can develop it.
The points made above are very valid.
I though part of the Google agreement was devices had to be upgradeable for up to 18 months for something like that.
You think a company like Samsung would have learned from Microsoft to make their devices and software work for all of their hardware just like installing MS Windows across different brands.

That is what Google stated at I/O 2011. So this makes me wonder... 18 months from when the GTab 10.1 I/O released (March 2011) or when it released in the US (June 2011), international (July 2011;not sure cause I didn't pay attention to that release). We are within that window when they said that JB will release in Q4 for the listed devices. We are DEFINITELY in that window from when JB was announced.
That will teach us, samsung is fast abandoning devices as well as releasing them. Note to self, next time stick to everything nexus.

I agree about touchwiz, but you have to think like this: they need to release JB, so that our developer can get all the required drivers for camera and other stuff. This makes development much faster. If you check current Alpha/Experimental CM10 JB ROMs, front cam not working.
I felt really bad when I read the news, because I still really like my Galaxy Tab 10.1 even if it is 1 year old.

Im on a cm10 and my front cam is working. It'll be there in versions with the 3.1 kernel, the ones out there right now are with the older kernel (afaik).

Yes but i think 3.1 kernel its only for P7500 i have the P7510 wifi version, someplace i look for an experimental kernel 3.1 but microphone doesnt work.
Samsung are truly morons with this crap. The Tab was my last chance with them and they just blew it.. This was their 3rd strike. My 2 year old Nexus S 4G with 512mb of RAM gets an official JB upgrade from Google (and runs great) yet the tab with a dual core and 1gb of RAM Samsung decide to skip over. Google is all about getting the most out of a product and Samsung (who ironically makes the Nexus S) is all about getting the most out of your wallet.
I had a hunch this was going to happen, but I'm still annoyed. Not so much because I can't just root, etc..... but the fact that they've given the finger to those that bought it while they support older products still. Samsung was even present when Google announced the "Android Update Alliance". Um........... atleast give us working drivers, etc.

The 3.1 kernel Samsung released is for both P7500 and P7510. If you're running official ICS now, you're using 3.1 kernel.
Figured as much.
But, my Tab with ICS and Nova launcher absolutely rocks, so to be honest, I'm not really that disappointed.
Still a geat device.
I am runnng cm10 on my tab and it works great. I dont neec Samsung offical laggy rom. I have cm10, its faster and better!

it is official news from Samsung. I just need to find the official press release link and post here. They did not say no JB for Galaxy Tab 10.1, but they did NOT included it on their JB road-map for this year and next year, so this should tell you something, unless Samsung decides to include it at last minute.
The only comments seen publically are from sites other than samsun. Sammobile is not an official site and their source was not samsung either. Suggest you all calm down. Besides, it would be like expecting win7to run on a win 95 computer expecting updates for ever more

But AOSP based jb has already been ported to 10.1 which makes it a vaible candidate since the hardware is good thus ur comparison is like comparing apple to oranges since win would never even bootup in win95 PC let alone run!
PS: I am dissapointed with Samsung bcuz most ppl with 10.1 r early adopters yet Samsung including myself yet Samsung decided to show the finger to us!

No chance mate.
Samsung won`t make updates to such "old" phones....
I'm agree with Lelex45, Samsung has forgotten this device... But there are a lot of "unofficial" very good rom here
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunaly this won't happen. However like occ hio said, there are plenty of good custom roms. I own my i9001 now for 13 months, only the first couple of months of them I ran stock gingerbread from samsung. Never regretted that I turned to custom roms.
i think the custom roms that you can find here are a great solution
Yeah, get over it - JB custom ROMs are now for daily use IMHO, or you can just wait for the 3.0 kernel + few bugs fixed and it'll be close to perfection Cheers
Who cares whether they release it or not? Obviously the OP, but i doubt many others. We got the files, and the community. There's lots of custom ROMs that are better anyway..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
There are less roms than every body always says there are. For the most interesting android version (4.1) there's cm10, and variations based on that cm10 rom. If you find bugs in cm10 that annoy you, there is no use switching to an other rom.
I gave up the hope of an official update from samsung, but it would be nice if they could provide up to date drivers. But I really can't image they suddenly changed their attitude. Samsung is a hardware manufacturer and they see very little interest in software (quite common in Asia. People invest in stuff you can hold in your hands, not virtual stuff like software). But on the other hand, I gave up buying samsung stuff so can't really expect them to do anything for me
There really no chance for this petition!
They won't do it, they are so mean about new roms old devices or to it's modifications: s

I remember that a time ago in a German forum people send many requests for ics to Samsung like a petition but it had no use. I think they said the device wouldn't be popular enough but not sure...
I think Samsung won't release JB for I9001 too. But give the best support to CM10 team!
If Samsung would release JB for such "old" phones, they couldn't sell so much oft their new devices. Anyway, i'm using cm 10 on my S-Plus, and in really can say it's much smoother than my wifes S3 mini.
no chance for this to succeed

probly Samsung would get new libs for the GPU from Quallcom. That could be a great improvement to the performence. The current libs are buggy.

I'm using Custom Roms since 3 months and i love it. I think we don't need Samsung for giving us Jelly Bean, cause there are much more features for performance and style in our great Custom Roms.
So thank's our great developers for making this possible for us.:good::good::good:
