I would prefer a tablet UI, the phablet UI is not to my liking after using it on the nexus 7 but knowing Samsung, I would imagine a phablet UI is what would be used if or when the 7.7 is updated to JB.
I like what it has now with GO tab launcher :good:

There is no update. Get a different device if you can't be content without 4.1. Also, try not to be so quick to flame people. The stakes are so low here, there's no reason to get upset.

Mate, I'm not flaming, that is what YOU were doing with your useless post! It was antagonistic, so if you can't be constructive, don't bother posting. The OP was just asking a simple question, and I don't believe previously asked anywhere before.
By developing and releasing for the community custom ICS ROMs for both P6810 and P6800, and actively supporting those threads, I am more than doing my part here. I don't even own a P6800...... So it would seem that personally, I'm quite content with ICS, but some new firmware is always good to tinker with.
You didn't even answer my question, or was it just ignored?
What do you base your OPINION on?
Is YOUR opinion now fact? Please substantiate the basis of your first post with links to a Samsung website or correspondence with Samsung. Please, let us hear.....

woah!! guys be cool dont fighting here we're android family
FYI Japan model is already jb with tablet ui!
img02.taobaocdn.com/imgextra/i2/209307869/T2eZ6GXlhXXXXXXXXX_!!209307869.jpg
The Japan model is called SC-01E Galaxy Tab 7.7 Plus/P6820 and has similar hardware to the Korea Model (SHV-E150S Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE).
Yeah, they both use Qualcomm S3 cpu, APQ 8060.
But we can tell from the naming rule that they both belong to Galaxy Tab 7.7 family.:laugh:
Since the Japan model remains in tablet ui, maybe the global model of P6800 will continue to have tablet ui after jb update.:victory:
how's 7 plus? does it got phablet mode or tablet mode?
This is the reason why I live by paranoid android ROM.. I cannot live without tablet ui. If they were to use tablet ui with stock ROM, I would definitely root and stick with stock!
In the end it won't matter to me which UI it has, as long as the tablet receives jelly bean.

Tablet but.. JB not going to happen.
And its not about giving official proof that it is not going to happen. Give official proof that it IS going to happen because if they gonna they already should have done it.
Samsung did announce that this summer netherlands gets ICS update.. ICS... lol.
JB? Dont think so.

From SamMobile.com:
"Samsung has announced that both the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Tab can handle the upgrade to Android 4.0 when looking purely at speed of the device.
However the upgrade will not arrive on these devices simply because certain hardware features will not function.
The quantity of RAM and ROM in this is a big factor.
Some of the Touhwizz functions Samsung uses will not work when combined with Android 4.0 and one of these devices."

yup.. i'm running an early alpha of a CM9 based ICS on my Tab and it runs fine for not having hardware acceleration etc. So I know the same applies for the Epic. Sad that Samsuck just doesn't feel like putting the effort into supporting their devices.. Oh well, hooray capitalism! =P
So, here is their source for the story:
http://www.samsungtomorrow.com/2043
It's in Korean, and reading it through google translate of babelfish is good for a chuckle.
As I interpret it, they say that the Nexus S works because it requires no carrier customization , Touchwiz or region specific features.
Also, from the babel fish translation:
"The soluble memory dosage is insufficient and will provide a satisfied use environment
There is not a possibility.
This considers the hardware evening sunlight, use environment of optimum to the customers provision
Description below being a selection which is inevitable for to understand, wishes."
I think that may mean the phone is near end of life (hardware evening sunlight)
and customers wouldn't like how ICS runs on this hardware anyway.
Oh well, we'll see how CM9 runs.

Maybe, if there is an ICS port in the next 6 months that's smooth and fully functional I'd go there. But I'm moving on to LTE asap.
Just means no "official" ICS, I'm sure devs will have something for it. I would imagine that most of the people that know what they're missing will be on to new phones by then anyway.
Hopefully they can pull off cm9 for the gs series.

This is just Samsung being downright LAZY. Heck the Nexus S is getting ICS from them right? And that is most definitely a Galaxy S phone. They just don't want to be bothered to support the Galaxy S line as a whole anymore clearly.
If we didn't have to worry about touchwiz... it would be here by now... why do we need it when the UI of ICS is far superior. At the very least release the driver source files so that devs can do it for you... Samsung needs to be more open to developers in that regard.

Keep in mind that this isn't just Samsung's pickiness about having their TW branding. This is also a product of carrier demands. Carriers do NOT like (for the most part) unbranded, undifferentiated phones, and they especially don't like phones that aren't preloaded with software that represents services they provide.
Frankly, I was always convinced that arrangements such as VZN's with the NFL required them to have the app on all relevant phones. The NFL is anal like that.
IOW, it's a LOT of different factors coming together keeping ICS off of Galaxy S phones, many of which are problems with how the smartphone industry itself has come to work, and targeting one player while ignoring the bigger picture--though it sure makes life easier for journalists and bloggers--cheapens the whole conversation.
I checked out one of these today and I think it will be perfect for me until the Asus memo 370 comes along... but I have a galaxy nexus and after using ics I really don't want to go back to hc.

ICS update.
Love Samsung mobiles but so far their history of devices is abysmal.
Asus Transformer Prime (Tegra3), Previous Transformer (Tegra 2), Motorola Zoom (Tegra2) is already receiving ICS updates but Samsung Tab 10.1 and Tab 8.9 also based on Tegra 2 still no word.
On Exynos some leaks are still rolling out for SGS2. So Note still needs to follow and only then will they look at other tabs. Ridiculous.
On top of that I flashed ICS leak on my SGS and TW dominates ICS so much that it might as well be gingerbread. Basically all thats left of ICS UI is the settings.
SAD SAD SAD.
Best thing we can hope for is a stable Cyanogen 9 rom for tab 7.7
CM9 will be boss on this tab, I'm running the KANG on my Gtab 10.1
Yeah.. I am moving forward not even thinking about the "ICS" update from Samsung. CM9 or a vanilla build of ICS, Id like to get as close to stock Android as possible on this bad boy. It just seems that TouchWiz is a "bottle neck" as the system seems laggy when using the UI. My fingers are crossed. Hell I may even have some funds for donation.

Lag is virtually non-existent on this device honestly. Just replace TouchWiz launcher with ADW EX, and you'll be flying.
Basically, yeah, it's not ICS yet, but honestly, it's not like what we have now is a bad experience by any stretch. It's plenty good, hell it's fantastic, for now, until Samsung or the dev community gets a working ICS build for us.
Replace TouchWiz
Totally agree, although I would also suggest Go Launcher EX. I tried both this weekend and I find Go Launcher EX even more smooth than ADW EX, but both excellent.
Someone posted on here about them playing with the leaked alpha/beta ICS update for the SGSII and they said all that was left of rhe ICS gui was the settings window and that TouchWiz dominated the ROM. That is very disappointing to me, but i mean what did i expect afterall. Ive never bought any other devices but Google Flag Ship devices that run stock android so i guess thats my point of reference.. For me android is about choice.. letting the user CHOOSE what they want, Samsung should build in a toggle to turn off TouchWiz completely if we the user chooses to. I just feel it adds another layer that just steals CPU cycles and doesnt really add any benefit.

There's a dev preview of Windows 8 out now. It won't work on ARM devices (nor will it install as a VM on Fusion for Mac), but it gives a good sense of the feature set and UX. It's basically Windows 7 with an embedded tablet mode.
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??

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.

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..

Nope, sadly. I'd like to keep this tab for awhile longer and it would be nice if Samsung showed up Apple and keeps updating it (and other recent Galaxy devices) for at least one more version. But, nah. Maybe it will be easier for someone to port 4.1 when the 4.0 source eventually gets out?
But if not...**** it, who cares. A few interface tweaks and some nice features, but the 7.7 will still be highly usable with ICS, I would say.
Theoretically the binary blob drivers that come with ICS source should be able to be used in JB builds? I'm guessing
The main obstacle in current ICS dev is lack of ICS drivers esp as they are closed sammy blobs

Unless of course he is traveling salesman. Travel with Nexus 7 is somewhat restricted to about 100 meters.
I see no technical reason why the 7.7 should not be able to run JB unless JB needs 2Gb of memory.

I was thinking the same thing. And hoping it is indeed the case.
EDIT 11th May 2013
May be, just maybe Samsung listenened and JB 4.2.1 is here
It took a year for this to happen, which is not good enough for a premium tablet.
Sadly, I don't have this tablet (or any tablet al all), but I maintain no more Samsung for me at least for now.
I hope those who do, enjoy the enhancred performance that Project Butter brings.

The only thing that a HATE mad in Android is the fact that is the manufactorers who choose if you gonna get the last version of Android or not.
I have a LG Optimus Black and the Galaxy Tab 7.7
I´m on 2.3.4 Gingerbread in OB (no prevision to take ICS)
And now I receive this notice that my Tab will not get Jelly Bean!!
you can imagine how frustrated I am!!!!!!!!!
Disappointed too. Do you think it its related to the European ban?

As someone who's on the Verizon 7.7 and still on HC, I'm more than disappointed.
I have a feeling that Samsung looks at sales numbers and sees how many 7.7's there are on the market (not many), and then does a cost-benefit analysis that shows that the cost of having developers put time into 7.7 JB development is a waste of money. And it's really their fault that this thing isn't more ubiquitious since it's a great piece of technology, but for whatever reason, they didn't price it aggressively enough and this is where they ended up.
Hopefully we'll have some decent JB ROMs, but at this point, I'm still waiting for ICS.
All we can do it put our disappointment into action - make your next tablet a Nexus, 3G/4G be damned.
I'm on Verizon, too. There should always be a provision to install a stock Android version so if the Touch-wiz modidifcations stop coming at least one could try to update to next Android.
I am perfectly happy with ICS on my Tab. I only count on one upgrade per device. That is alll I have ever gotten on my Samsung and Motorola devices.
We should make our voice heard, because there is no reason for our tab to miss this update.

I've emailed Samsung CEO about this lol. We need to show our anger at this decision.

I dont know if its good or bad not to have JB, anyway it lags, ICS on galaxy s2, s3 works really smoothly but not on this tab... So if we could get JB and it will lag, whats the point?

the last ics update is crap full of weird bugs, wifi for exemple, anyone can use his tab without wifi? stupid question and Samsung don't have the answer!
if jelly bean will bring such bugs (of ics) better keep my lagy, microscopic text,... Honeycomb till the last day of this tablet ^_^

I use my tab 7.7 with and without WiFi every day without problem ranging EDGE to H+ in reception, not sure about how the modem/baseband fairs in other countries but here in sweden with both Telia Sonera and Comviq/Tele2 it works well.
No lag for me (except with certain thrid party widgets sometimes), been testing a couple of JellyBean ROMS on it and tbh it doesnt make my 7.7 fly or print money or anything like that so i dont really see why, appart from the looks, anyone NEEDS JB except the fact that it looks cooler and that everyone think they need the latest and the greatest for their device... just to let 2 days pass after the update and start screaming about samung sucking "cuz i aint gettin mah kay lame phie"... teah the tab cost quite a few bucks, but it works pretty well as it is.. and if one doesnt like it.. sell it to someone that might like/love it and buy some other "better" brand and start to whine about that one not getting each and every update
That said, i am quite surprised Samsung didnt announce JB for the 7.7, and also the list didnt have more than 4-5 models some month ago, who says that 7.7 wont be added to the list next week/month.. but then again i dont think this model has sold enough for Samsung to spend the money on the update.. yet, plus they have a bunch of new models they want ppl to buy..
Also if you reeeeeally want JB, just root and throw in a custom rom, sitting on this forum its not hard to find a guide on how to do it.
This is really bad from Samsung Tablet premium class not to participate with the official Jelly Bean but others such as GT2 Plus and has a lower hardware and the display. It is a shame but not bad because there are alternatives, such as PA, CM10 or my Nexness PRO and all: 4.1.1
thanks god we've got some rich developers who own this piece of technology
Ps : just kidding, i am also a poor student, but i doesn't matter, cause i really like my big investment

I personnaly don't want any custom roms. I want the official stock roms. So this annoys me a bit, as I'm sure jellybean on the 7.7 would get a bit more out of our 7.7's

No sir, the point isn't crying about new updates, the point is, did we paid for this to let it run stone age operating system? why in the hell a 5 years old iphone still receive updates and i don't? do you think apple charged their customers more than Samsung did?
to be honest, i was happier with my old (sold) gt p1000 running gingerbread, on this one am waiting for a Samsung human developer to do something about the text size! (because honestly i don't think they used humans to test this before pushing it to the market) not those of xda, they aren't paid for that, and no body should blame them because they are doing us a favor for sharing their work with us. Samsung developers are paid to satisfy my needs, why should I give them a rest?
No sir, if my device is able to run the latest operating system in the market, so i want it, and i want it now.
if they are willing to ignore our expensive devices, ill sell it and get something else (Microsoft maybe?) note that I may lose some bucks, but Samsung may lose the market
as for the wifi, if it wasn't so important, why would I pay 6 times for a simple Kindle ebook reader, at least this one does exactly what it supposed to do without updates
I need to read from the net, that why i need my wifi working on ICS, and then on jelly bean.
and then i want a phablet dpi, i don't care about tablet UI, and if others do, Samsung can add a dual UI, Tablet and Phablet (that what android is, choices)
