Galaxy SII ICS (Android 4.0.3) released. Galaxy Note next???

I just saw this on SamMobile firmware page:
GT-I9100 - I9100XXLPJ - Android 4.0.3 - 2012 February - I9100OXALPJ - Open Europe
See: sammobile.com/firmware
It's starting??? Finally????

Not sure if it's helpful for us for the N7000, i suppose that a few drivers are in common, but it lacks the system UI and SPen. The stock frequencies are also differents.
Futur 'll us

so what about note??

Does it support switching to a normal Android 4.0 Holo launcher??

What it really means is that now they can start working full time for us, so the leaks should start dropping again... I hope

Galaxy S2 has been having ICS leaks for over a month now...?

As above ^ This really means nothing for us..

Here is the link as Korean SGII user uploaded the screenshot of the new ICS...
It is identical to the ones we got from the chinese leaked version which does not looks like pure ICS.

Samsung can`t launch a pure ICS, is the same in HTC... Samsung TW, HTC Sense :S... Port or wait to official release?
Cheers

Why would you ever think you were going to get a pure ICS?

Well will this be usefull for development. Becuase they have to release sources and Gnote is almost similar to SgS2.....

Well, touchwiz it is still better than pure ics who can't even make folders in the drawer.
I have a nexus and I still using go launcher, the contact section it is a skin, the functions are the same.
But if you want stock ics wait some weeks for a rom

It seems that Samsung is currently deploying ICS in Asia and Europe, the ICS release for Note is going to follow.
Hope this will help devs to release custom ROMs without this crappy Touchwiz

I see where ICS for the SGS2 released by sammy has already been rooted.
The first few "official" releases should have numerous exploits that allow for
root without too much trouble.
I'll just be glad to get root back. I screwed up on the last update and did it
from Kies and lost root and don't want to jump through the hoops of downgrading,
wiping etc just to get root back, knowing the ICS update will probably wipe it all out again anyway.

You mean the same way as the current software on the note is called GingerBread? Would you be shocked to know that you are not getting the stock gingerbread experience?

I don't give a f--- what is the real stock gingerbread looks like.... all I am saying and lot of people out there who updated this ICS yesterday wish the user interface is the same as the one in the galaxy nexus... Lot of galaxy note users and few developers are creating custom rom that looks similar to the pure ICS .
So... what i am writing here is in my right and I don[t need to hear all this crap saying why would you want this update looks like pure ICS...
so if you guys have nothing better to do than complain about my thought then... go on have a good wank...... for f--- sake!!!

Touchwiz is Samung's way of branding their Android devices. If every manufacturer included stock Android in their phones, what would be the incentive to get one particular device over another, especially if the hardware of all high end devices from all manufacturers is almost identical? Unfortunately, if you want the stock Android experience you'll have to get a Nexus, or flash a stock rom built from the ICS source code. Can't have your cake and eat it too I guess..

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.
Sent from my thundershed

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!

Hi Need Some Help

Hi let me introduce myself to you guys..I am A Galaxy Mini user..well thinking of upgrading my device while Searching over Google i came over Huawei ideos X5 Pro..well I am now thinking of Buying this device
My qwestions are -
1)Is this Device Very durable? i basically drop phones in marble floors that is in my home
2)Is this Device ArmV7?
3)And Last one..How is the Service from Huawei Service Centres
Guys Need some help fast
Am confused between Xperia Tipo and X5..well stats wise this Phone beats Tipo fair and Square...But I need ArmV7 architrcture..and so thats a must
I am gonna buy a phone in next week..so just confused between these 2..Guys help
Thank You
Fellow XDA'n
Rik[Rittik]

umm no one?..
Rik[Rittik]

Good and versatile phone.
You won't find a device for same price with same specs.
Worst or basically non client support from Huawei.
This you can get only from the store you bought itand here you will have all the assistance needed.

it wont break screen easily rite?
Rik[Rittik]

The screen might be a bit difficult to brake, since if I am not mistaken there is some space between the plastic and the screen. But the device is made of plastic so if you drop it frequently it might have some problems. Noone can quarantee that your phone will be OK after a drop....
Official support sucks.
Its a armv7a.
Sent from my U8800

You should probably look elsewhere. This phone is now getting on a bit and will most likely never have a working jelly bean ROM. Huawei has released some new phones like the Ascend G300 and the recent G330. They are better built, the G330 is much faster and they have official ICS. Might even get jelly bean at some point.

yea my other option is,g300
..but no official xda support still..well ita bad for a developer like me..but why are u guys waiting for official JB update? Use CM10 or Aokp..much better according to me..

Official XDA support - that's an oxymoron
By Jelly Bean I meant any Jelly Bean. The new Ascend models have a good chance to receive an official update at some point.

Devs can easily port CM10 i.e 4.1.3 To X5 easily..it has enough horsepower to run it smoothly ...my galaxy mini runs CM10 smoothly..with Oc upto 768mhz only..
Rik[Rittik]

Save your money and don't but Huawei. Go for a Samsung our something

Its armv7... It is dependant on whether model it is. You don't want to have the U8800H since it has limited support.

My honest opinion is if you can't afford the very cheap nexus 4 then there is no doubt that this is the phone you definitely want. It is really durable especially the scratch proof screen (Mine has never been scratched) but dropping any phone on a marble would do some sort of damage. Yes its arm 7 and the service center varies between country as one is located in each I think? The one in my country (New Zealand) is extremely good. Mine got hard bricked and they had it back to me within a week of me taking it into the store I bought it from and they gave me a free micro sd because the first time they sent it back the camera told me it couldn't be found. And if you are wanting to get into developing yourself then I 100% recommend this phone to you. Hope this has helped your decision.

Yea Ty guys..Got my x5 pro

Atrix stable Jellybean ICs port

Hi, first of all i'm really thankful to all atrix dev team n all dev members on xda :good:
they r doing very good job working hard to make people happy we r really appreciate that.. Thanks to all dev :good:
Atrix stable ICs Jellybean port plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This request has been made on both the ICS and the JB versions. The answer remains the same. Until the 2.6.39.4 kernel is finished being dev'd, all roms are as stable as they can get. There are 3 kernels on the table for the more advanced android versions. 1. The ICS leak kernel. 2. The Galaxy R kernel. 3. The Xoom kernel. The ICS leak kernel is what you see the most of. Galaxy R kernel is more well known than the Xoom kernel dev. Galaxy R kernel dev may be observed in android dev under the ICS/JB kernel thread. The Xoom kernel is a quiet project that is mentioned in either the cm 9 or cm 10 rom that poped up a few days ago. The thread mentions "that kernel" in the thread title, and the user has toyota in their s/n.

On a lighter(?) note:
I was expecting to see many replies tearing OP a new one. What happened to you Atrix 4G General?

Saw the title and got excited.
What the hell is this? Ban this guy.

I don't even understand what the op planned on accomplishing here.

I think it was a request for stable ICS or JB port, like somehow requesting it is going to make it happen faster because in the months (14?) since ICS was released, developers have been standing idly by waiting for this one specific request to build a stable ICS or JB ROM.
As for why there wasn't some kind of massive burn, it's kinda like poking a bee hive when all the bees have moved on to a new nest. Oh well, anything to keep this section of the forums alive I guess.

I think the OP was hoping for a good flaming. Trolls gonna troll.

are any of the ICS/JB roms for the Atrix ready for daily usage yet?

Depends on your needs. If you want strictly phone functions and don't care about anything else, then yes.

Because some people are stuck with the device and want to at least have the chance to try ICS or JB themselves, especially since ICS was officially released over a year ago. For some people the basic functionality of ICS or JB is worth losing camera/ camcorder, and hardware acceleration, or at least until they find they need those for something. For me it was fun to try, and a bit depressing to have to revert back to GB, but the loss of camera/camcorder functionality was too much and the things I wanted ICS for in the first place just didn't work.

Ordered my TF300

HEY GUYS! I just placed my order on Amazon for my TF300 and I can't wait. It comes in Tuesday and until then I will be spending my time in the forums trying to find out what I want to do to it.
I am coming from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. It was a great tablet and the community was great. I was looking through this one and, to be honest, this forum looks a little confusing with the different versions for the different countries. The one I rodered is the TF300 B1-WH. I just wanna make sure that I can get what I need for this model from these forums.
So please stop by and tell me what you think and give some pointers. THANKS!

Take your time, do some reading and plan on a little time to verify there are no hardware issues before you go beyond stock. Most units selling today are on JB bootloader but if yours happens to come with ICS then consider nvflash.
Good Luck and Welcome!

Probably this is the best guide IMO - The best ROM is also BAKED - I'm currently on a test release which is amazing and BAKED just has all these AOKP customizations with the best stability and battery life of the AOSP Roms out there :laugh:
also Ubuntu Touch is being ported but atm it's really, really a preview - not much working and not really stable!

thanks! I was so worried that since I was getting it off of Amazon that it was going to be some weird chinese version and almost useless. lol. I was able to find the 32GB refurb for 250. I am pretty stoked.
I was looking at the slim bean since that is what I run on my SIII but will wait for a slightly more stable version to come out. Any word on a paranoid ROM?

CleanROM is awesome. I definitely suggest giving it a try. We also have Paranoid Android. If you want to overclock you will want to use the 2.54 version with the modified Unter kernel in the 3rd post down from the OP under EXTRAS. There is a 2.99 version but its still a beta.
I ran the PA ROM for a few months and its nice. CleanROM performs better though.
I've got the 32gb version and love it. The dock is nice too if you ever decide to get one.

I to have cleanROM and it is simply awesome.
If i were you though i would give it a little while before you install custom ROMs just incase you have hardware issues and the tablet needs to go back for repair.
Then root the tablet and install a custom ROM. You won't regret it!
