Downgrade to stock for update, or wait for JB? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

I have a US Tab and I don't know if I should go down to stock for ICS update, or wait for a stable JB ROM. What is anyone else doing?

I just installed stock ics and it's great it was worth the wait.

Ok, would you prefer a JB ROM with working camera over this? And are you in the U.S.?

Looking at the quality of this release i would prefer a stock jb i still don't know wich one i will prefer i will have to try once there's a stable release before i can tell.
But matter of factly (for me at least) i can tell you this is the better rom there's out there at the moment.
And i am in México. you can check this info on if you click on more info.
Cheers!!

I have the CM10 JB installed, and besides of the cam it works just great! it's like a new tab, smoth like it should be :good: I do not need the cam, just the front cam for Skype would be nice, but not MUST...
I have not tested the ICS ROM, but with the CM10 JB you can do nothing wrong I read tests from Nexus handy and the conclusion is the same, JB runs much smoother than ICS...

New asop jb have working rear cam still no front cam

Alright, thank you for the info. I still haven't gotten stock..

Personally, I won't be going back to stock. TouchWiz looks terrible compared to the stock ICS theme.
A JB back camera update was just released, just waiting on a front camera update and everything is set for me to upgrade to CM10.

Does 4.0 on the tab have TouchWiz? I know 3.x didn't. I'm going to try it, if the update ever gets pushed to me. I'm sure I'll use CM10 on mine though.

you may never see official jb. seeing that they're only supposed to support the device for 18 months...

I am running the first version of the Task ICS Rom. Still very stock, but works great. I ran the Task14 HC until then. Love it.

I prefer stock ICS to JB,because it's faster(Quadrant score 2936 compared to JB's 2544) and after all,it's from samsung.chrome doesn't work on my JB yet and FC's are frequent...

With CM10 I get Quadrant around 3500

I'm on CM10(which is really stable!) but Task is trying to port the official ICS up to JB and I think I'll probably rock that one when it's out. I just really want that front camera to work, I could give a crap about the pointless rear one.

I would say just wait some days and we well have front cam, too

I just flashed aosp jb last night and I love it. Ffffuuuuu to the camera, I don't care about it. Its pretty crappy quality anyhow. But I would say that going back to stock to get the update would b worth it. Before u flash the update, make a copy of it on your comp. Or make a backup of it AFTER uve flashed it, so ull have the update at your fingertips if u ever need it, or if u wanna use that as a base to make your own custom ics rom.

Comparisons between GB and ICS...What is your overall opinion so far?

Hey guys.
Must say for early stages ICS looks pretty sweet. Looking forward to the stable version by Codeworkx and team.
My opinion though is that i still find Gingerbread pretty solid and has all the features i need still. Yes ICS is still in early stages. But there are still few features that i can not leave without just yet. And plus battery life of course is a major issue for me so when kernel sources are released i am sure we shall see an influx of kernels to tackle the problem as it was in the early days of Gingerbread on our gorgeous phones.
Question here is...Do you guys find it worth the jump even on early stages or are you sticking with Gingerbread as it is still stable and you have all the features you can ask for till the gorgeous CM9 gets more stable? Also what would you like from Gingerbread to be on ICS
Thanks
The problem is I've already made the jump much earlier, and it's now unacceptable going back to GB..

I also made the jump but something made me come back to GB..I think it is still because the build is still in early stages and bugs and errors occur..Plus having the voodoo app now by Supercurio kinda makes me hold up a bit longer. Yes i know that is not a good enough reason but also battery life is a major one for me...
What i like to know in the new build of CM9 is it as smooth as people say it is when scrolling?

Well I'm most likely the wrong person to answer that, having come from the original SGS since only the last 2 days. And no, I don't think that it's not a good enough reason to revert to GB for Voodoo LOUDER when I'm actually giving it a fair thought of going back to the SGS1 for Voodoo Sound...
I dont know how to say it but ... ummmm but seriously (not trolling) i love the touch wiz ui

Don't worry, there are plenty of people like you and me giggling at the various topics of stuttering paid alternative launchers, and buggy custom AOSP roms, but they are mostly silent.
I think its great they are there, because it can lead to new insights, but so far for me stock + TW + a mild Jkay-theme hit the sweet spot for almost everything this phone can do for me.
Opinion its a leaked test rom and not ICS release who knows what will change .
jje
Ive been trying out the cm9 alpha for a while now and am liking it. Got it setup virtually the same as my KK5 daily.
With cm9 I don't need voodoo louder and my a2dp streaming sounds better.
But.....
I could easily go back to KK5 odexed which I have setup the way I like it. Jkay mods, frozen apps, voodoo louder, etc.
I use go launcher ex, go sms pro and poweramp on both so mostly my user interface is the same.
Found since sgs1 that I like the 3rd party apps more than stock. Thats the beauty of android I guess.
Im ok with both as a daily so far.

I started using CM9 since the first build, which was very buggy, but its been my daily driver since then and I love it now, stable enough for everyday use (amazing for an alpha) and I already find it better than CM7, I can't go back to GB after updating lol, love the new UI, the only time I ran into a problem was when I wanted to see football highlights last night but can't watch the video =D other that tho I love ICS, can't wait for a full and stable release! Highly recommend it! I found I don't need as many 3rd party apps, don't use widget locker or go launcher or go contacts etc anymore, the only one I use now is go SMS pro.

Same here. ICS is very good and I urge all to give CM9 a try. Of course we cannot mod, theme etc.. at this stage but to be frank there is no need to. Great sensible UI coupled with a very smooth and snappy scrolling and other animations makes it a perfect ROM for a common user. If you are too much into theming, tweaking etc.. stay away from CM9 at the moment until a stable one comes out.
Not much of a battery drain also. Maybe 10% more than stock GB.
ICS KP8
CM9
No thanks no advantage over what i have at present .
Yes to supposed specs when ICS is actually released .

I tested for 2 days the ICS and I must say that the samsung team it's on the good way. ICS will be a wonderful OS to run on SGS2. They still have a lot of bugs to fix, but there are just leaks. We must wait for some official releases.
At the moment you can use ICS just to explore some of the goodies that will be present in the future for our phones. We will have to keep gingerbread for a while
Personally, I want to see the weather on lockscreen fully implemented in the next builds
theres no real ICS for SGS2 right?How could we compare?
we still need to go through 2.3.7 am i right?
No, i find cm7 better than cm9 for now
Personally I don't find ICS the revolutionary change that some people were hyping around. It's an improvement, but not super.
And +1 to the people who mentioned the media part. Once it's fixed I might go to CM9.
And frankly I don't find Trebechet launcher on CM9 smoother than Touchwiz on Gingerboard :/

I am totally agree with Dzel.
Since ICS alpha(not even beta) version. its no good to compare stable GB version.
Again CM9 is much better than CM7.
I am running cm9 as my daily now as most remaining issues are not so important.
I was before on cm7 with Siyah kernel, and honestly, everything was really running smooth. I do not see any big improvment in ICS, and in that point, I am a litle disapointed.
I will stick to cm9 as ICs is now the developped OS, but I was waiting for more big changes from Google.
A litle bit like diff between OSX 10.3, .4, .5 etc etc. No real big changes.

Yep Samsung released ICS on the Google Nexus. If you want update from cymod, check the dev forums. All the info is there.
As of right now, there is no official ETA on Cyanogenmod9 (ICS) although from looking at their latest work (Nightly Builds, they are close. They will have to go through some Betas and then a RC (Release Candidate,) but even the Alphas are in a very good state. Usually by the time it is in Beta, CM is in a daily-driver condition.
As for Samsung's official ICS rom, the company has committed to bringing ICS to the entire Galaxy Tab line in Q1 of 2012, which means in the first 3 months of the year (Jan, Feb, March) Bear in mind that there is the possibility that they will miss that deadline due to unforseen bugs and isssues, so they may end up delivering in Q2, which would still put them on track for their initial promise of the first half of the year.
Hi everyone
I am pretty new to all this stuff with the tabs. I am running tasks 13.1 ROM with pershoots latest kerrnel.
Does anyone know what advantages or what ics has offer.

The tab is much much faster with ICS and the general performance is better. For example theres no lag when using the appswitcher.
Some things aren't working yet (Camera, native VPN) but since a few days even hardware-accelerated video is working. Just do a nandroid backup and try it out, it runs REALLY great! I would never go back

Does ICS make it faster?
I just picked up a 10.1 and am very dissapointed with its performance. Very laggy and not a great user experience.
Before I sell it or put too much effort into it, do any of the ICS builds make a noticeable improvement in the over all performance? Or is it just a better UI?
Honeycomb is downright awful IMO, and I would rather have GB stretched out on this thing given the inconsistency of HC. I know ICS will address some of those concerns, but if it doesn't also bring with it a performance improvement I think I will sell this thing.
Thanks for your input!

ICS is much better than HC, not just the UI. At the moment, there's still a few things that don't work (camera, for example). But don't take my word, try it, it will only take a few minutes and then you decide if it's good enough.
you can get immediate and excellent performance by just going to GalaxyTask custom ROM - ICS is even more smoother

Try the ICS 3G Rom from Mobalito: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461240
Compared to the stock honeycomb that comes with the 10.1, this is night and day. Performance on stock honeycomb was a JOKE. Lagged like my HTC Hero. Same day as I bought the pad I installed this ICS ROM and it's been awesome ever since. Only need the camera working now!
You wont be dissapointed. This is a great piece of hardware, but shipped with unoptimized software. Flash your own software in and you'll love it!
Even going to a custom 3.2 rom will give a lot of speed and responsivness. 3.1 is realy realy not the best rom to put on a device and help "selling" the thing!
I've been running Galaxy Task Slim 13.1 and it's realy better than stock 3.1. I haven't tryed the stock 3.2 yet though, that might be a performance jump also!
I too agree. After the switch to the ICS there is no way to revert back to the old HC version. This despite the lack of the camera and the VPN......

Yeah I'm back to CM7. I was amazed at how well CM10 worked at first but the annoyances started piled up until I figured it just wasn't worth it. I'll wait till it's fully functional.
On the plus side, CM10 made me realize that Camera ICS is a great app even for CM7, that I don't need the Facebook app, and that some sites that use Flash serve non-Flash videos when you disable Flash.
Patience grasshoppas, once ICS gets released this quarter, then we will all have JB via CM10...

Only reason I'm on CM7 still is because I have to tether my Nexus 7 and tethering doesn't work without the source being released. At least Jelly Bean is phenomenal on the Nexus 7
ICS is good but JB is much better. No doubt everyone will fall in love with it.
Does CM10 work well with Google Maps? I was tired of in CM9 with the latest version of Maps having it always having the maps go blank and have to reset the app. Even with older version of Maps it crapped out a lot. I went back to CM 7.2, as I have a constant need for Maps while traveling abroad.
Other than that issue, ICS was super smooth for me other than a few games that didn't play nice. Really want to go back, and JB looks amazing!
yeah same here, back on "mokeeos" or whatever...

It's more like using generic/hacked drivers rather than no drivers at all. Without *any* drivers at all, we wouldn't be able to get it running this smooth. Of course it's not ideal. That's why it's labelled as a beta. If you need all of your phone's features, stick with GB.

Epinter's JB build is pretty amazing. There are a few things that don't work, but they are the same things that didn't work for CM9 (video camera, fingerprint reader, etc..). I use it for my daily driver.

IceCream Sandwich vs Jellybean

Hello !!!
Can you tell me something about the differents betwin "IceCream Sandwich" and "Jellybean"
Which is best, what is best for DHD and which is progressing most etc, etc...
I have just have Jellybean so i don't know anything about ICS. Should I change to ICS or not ? I like Jellybean alot but i dont know anything about anyone else...
Please tell me what YOU think about them.

The ICS v. JB thing is covered a lot already elsewhere; the differences are the same for all Android hardware. As for DHD, the ICS ROMs are very stable and mostly feature complete, so they are not progressing as quickly as JB ROMs now. JB ones are also getting very stable and complete, but there are still little bugs here and there.
All thing considered JB is definitively smoother then ICS.
JB devs focused on shortening input->draw lag as much as possible.
I feel that jellybean is much faster than ics. I am comparing the icecoldsandwich and jellytime roms for this.

Yep, IMHO much smoother and faster. Even though it has few bugs, now I just can't go back to ICS after experiencing JB (JellyTime r9.1)
I would say that you can't really compare them as they are different but of course in an ideal world you would say jellybean should be better as it's the upgrade. I think it boils down to personal preference at the end of the day. I am a lover of moving forward with technology and so anything new is good imo (even if it's not good lol)....But others will love Gingerbread, Froyo, ICS or Jellybean for specific reasons be it battery life, look, feel or just that it's what they're used to. You've got to try them all out really before you can decide for yourself...Get flashing
I'm running JellyTime on an Inspire, used IceColdSandwich before. I liked ICS a great deal, but once I flashed JellyTime there's no way I'd go back. I feel like JT runs a bit faster, is definitely smoother, and battery life is roughly comparable.
The whole "which OS is best" thing is highly subjective, and really there's no way to answer it. But for myself, I love JellyTime.
ICS is very stable on DHD.
JB is much more faster that ICS, but has many bugs.
The most important bug is low call quality, it's hard to use it as a daily rom.

Low call quality on what ROM? This has been fixed for quite sometime in almost all the JellyBean ROMs (codefireX, JellyTime, MIUIv4).

Which is best, what is best for DHD and which is progressing most etc, etc...
I have just have Jellybean so i don't know anything about ICS. Should I change to ICS or not ? I like Jellybean alot but i dont know anything about anyone else...
Please tell me what YOU think about them.

Your best bet? Try them all and see what fits. No one person will ever know what you like and don't like except if that person is you. I, like you, and using RB's JellyTime and it works best for me (the bugs are there but it doesn't bother me due to what I use my phone for). That will be different for everyone. Just backup, try out. If you don't like the one you loaded, restore.... and have your charger ready
Currently JellyBean ROM for DHD are smoother because there is no sense on it whereas ICS ROM are less smooth but with sense. OCS Sense ROM are good to use and stable like BlackOut(Sense 3.6) and TrickDroid(Sense 4.0)

Actually, there are non-Sense ICS ROMs. IceColdSandwich and aospX come to mind.
just flashed jellytime....really really fast o.o
Thank you all for your answer...
I already have Jellybean as i wrote and after what i read here i dont see any reason to install ICS... I'm satisfied enough with Jellybean... I just hope they can fix the camera soon...
Again, what's wrong with the camera? It takes decent photos and records in 720p.

Low call quality on what ROM? This has been fixed for quite sometime in almost all the JellyBean ROMs (codefireX, JellyTime, MIUIv4).

I just tried JellyTime R9.1.
It's still there. Maximum volume is too low and sound is noisy.
Release 10 is out and the camera should work
How's the call quality in JellyTime R10?
Using Sabsa 5 at the moment and it's ok in that.
Would like to try the JT 10, but not if the call quality is poor.
Cheers,
Chris.
i'm on r10.1 and again have the backlight issue when pressing power button to turn off the screen ...
tried cm10 nightly and there is no bug :/

No, never had this since 9.1.
As far as camera bugs are concerned, there is a bug that it doesn't auto focus in barcode scanner i.e. not a major thing but still a bug

[Q] How's Jellybean?

To those of you using JB on the MT4G: how is it? Stable? Good enough to be a daily driver? Everything important working for you?
I'd love to flash JB on my MT4G but I'm not sure if it's stable enough yet and the ROM threads are long and winding enough that I have trouble following them. I have a phone with the dodgy eMMC chip so I'd rather not spend all day flashing ROMs to try them out myself and possibly killing my phone in the process. I'd love to find a JB ROM that has all major features working and is close to stock JB (I don't like too much bling in my ROMs).
Thanks!

I'm using 0.0's Jellybean port based off the Desire S and it's been going good for the past few hours. Everything works for me, well except that front facing camera. That doesn't work on Jellybean yet. Dropping down the MPs in the camera removes the green line. I also do have the bad eMMC chip but I've been flashing almost every week to see which one is the best for me. I love ICS, especially Synthetic.Nightmare's ROM but Jellybean is getting better so I might try that for a week see how it goes.

JB is great. There are a couple things that don't work. You could, i don't know, CHECK THE THREADS!

JB is great if you don't really need video recording and FFC.
It's stable enough for a DD.
I was using CNA for awhile and then I used Awesome's Toasted Marshmallow since release.
Rocking 0.0's desire S port since he posted it... Loving it so much that I haven't even bothered flashing anything else.
Rock solid on my device. Just need ffc really... But we all know about that.
JB rocks.

There are other viable options than 0.0's ROM like Awesome's Toasted Marshmallow, which many people run and have success as their daily driver. It's really your choice!

I've tried many of them, but I personally like Toasted Marshmallow from ...Awesome... It is a very stable ROM. A couple of items that don't work are Front Facing Camera (FFC) and Wifi Calling, but those are not an issue with the ROM, they are more akin to not having an official JB kernel for the MT4G. I'm anxious for Wifi Calling to get released on another JB ROM so we can port it. Good luck with whichever ROM you decide on.
For those who tried both ICS and JB, how would you rate JB compared to ICS? Much faster and more stable? Currently I'm running on Awesome DarkUnicorn 2.5 and it is very good except for: 1. some camera apps from the market won't work 2. USB tethering doesn't work.

Most peeps claim jb is faster than ICS as it should be being a update but for me ICS has been faster .

JB's UI is faster, ICS's games, apps, and everything else are faster and more stable (we have had a lot more time to perfect it)

Thank you. So I guess once 3.0 is out, JB would be better than ICS? I didn't experience any UI lag on my ICS. So I guess I will stay on ICS for now.

No. Once 3.0 is fixed to work as well on our devices and all the jb optimizations are added in, THEN jb will surely be better than ics. As is, comparing the UI of jb to ics (aospx) I noticed no difference in UI. Though some people swear its buttery smooth and soo much better... even though its running a 2.6 kernel optimized for ics (not jb)... the only thing I've found to be smoother in jb is the browser.
