I changed from Samsung Galaxy S2 to Samsung Galaxytab 7.7 3G.
In xda-developers forum there are many Roms (Custom and Stock) for the S2 but only a few for the Galaxy Tab 7.7.
What is the reason for this?
Will there be more roms if ICS for Galaxy Tab 7.7 is out?
I dont understand why there are only a few roms for this really great TAB
I think because it is such a new product and also development is focussed on ICS and there is a fair amount of work to port from CM9 from other devices and build a working rom with no issues.
It is close though! I can't wait.
The custom tweaked and stock v3 is soon to be released and if anything like v2 it will be even better and run very well.
Lets support our devoted devs!!!
The answer probably is:
GS II sold a ton of devices (10 millions at least) and was brought to Us early
GT 7.7 is selling few devices and in Us came only trough verizon few time ago

I am wondering if any of you smart folks are working on a ported HC 3.2 from Samsung Galaxy 10.1 update.
If u wanted a galaxy tab maybe u should go buy one.
Thestock acer rom is better any day.
Plus everything works.
The same isnt true on ports of other devices.
Just keep your panties on 3.2 is almost ready from Acer

Moved to Q&A
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".

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 am completely with you on this one ! I am more excited about the AOSP ROM rather than the Samsung TouchWiz stuff !
Well the promise is up to q1 let see...

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.
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?

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!

what's the big difference between ICS and JB?
I had an N7 and the only difference I can find is Google Now (which did nothing for me on my tablet)
Also, what will we lose?
I know flash is not present but can still be loaded on, although not seen anyone say it works, but not looked that hard.
BBC iplayer?
anybody knows when is the update?
im waiting the update to my GT 3110
im from portugal, i dont know if the update out at same day for all...??!?!?
great thread
i am waiting for jb for my GT 3110 too, does anybody know when we will get the update?
I hope the "official" update for the Galaxy Tab 2 with have these issues fixed that the currently leaked versions have....
-portrait only home screens
-mike not working in some apps
-battery percentage on notification bar

Butter. Really, most of the differences are not changes you can see. They cleaned up the code and are compiling it with a newer toolchain. It helped optimize things more and provides for a more fluid interface.
I have an unlocked version. According to the TmoNews article, the unlocked versions should see the update first as they they have to go through carrier testing.
Hopefully the Tab version will come out quickly, then we'll just have to wait for AT&T to muck around with uit for 6 months before the rest of the devices get it.
There's a video with all changes uploaded in youtube, I can't post it 'cause I'm a new member but is there, the google event release of jb almost 3 months ago.

Alhamdulillah, can't hardly wait..
The update is still not available yet for my country, so I have installed my own with germany version
JB is great..
My dad has a Samsung captivate(SGH-i897)(captivatemtd)(AT&T version of the original Galaxy S), currently running an official cm11 build.
I see that you don't support it (don't blame ya), but I also see that you support the Galaxy S (i9000).
The specs look identical to me... is it possible that the Galaxy S build would work on his Captivate?
Sorry, I'm new to this.
Thanks though!
