Xoom was the tablet equivalent of the Nexus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
I'd rather wait till they release something that is really polished than releasing something that has bugs and other stuff just so they can appease people who are complaining that there is no ICS. Ironically those people will be the same ones complaining that the actual release is **** because of potential bugs and other problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
It doesn't matter when they release it, it will have bugs. Nothing is ever "polished".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
the only bug I can't deal with is usb mounting. as for having a previous samsung phone, no, but I expected a change and magical source code devving back in November. it will be my last samsung phone. I am waiting to see the one x or hopefully a non samsung nexus next time. I don't care about amoled that much. I have a 60 in tv, desktop and laptop, and a sphony ps3. I don't play 49 cent mobile games with touch screens. what I want most is hd cam, good av chips so I don't need a cowon pmp too, and hdmi out that doesn't keep losing connection. I also want support from the maker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Sony is doing a good job as long as you don't care about the build quality of the device. Good dev support, good screens (not amoled), good performance, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
By polished I didn't mean perfect. I agree with what you say.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Well, no other manufacturer is going to give you much more. With the exception of the Nexus line, no phone received ICS prior to last week. A few tablets did beyond the Xoom (Nexus of Tablets), and those updates were freaking disasters.

Sony has been doing pretty well in terms of developer support, but unfortunately the build quality of their phones leaves much to be desired. Nexus is your best bet, whether it's Samsung or otherwise.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Thegodfather156:
all of the phones and MWC were garbage(except the fujitsu superphone). the only phone anyone there really cared to see was the GSIII, and we all knew sammy wasnt going to provide it. i didnt see a single phone at MWC that made me upset that i own the GS2.

also sammy was the first to release GB last year, they are following suit with ICS. so what if we have to wait a few months...there are people that will NEVER see ICS. we should be grateful that we, among all the android smarthphones out there are getting ICS basically before anyone else
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
I wouldn't say garbage, but agree there was nothing there that made me want to switch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Thegodfather156:
garbage was an overstatement of course. average may be better
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Captpt:
Exactly... back in December I was itching to get ICS asap but after enjoying being rooted and having a super stable ROM which gets updated practically weekly I'm more then content... Honestly I'll probably never update to ics through AT&T, Lord knows the rooted versions of ICS we will see here will be better :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dungeon47:
I have to remind myself now and then that there are people who actually use AT&T's firmware releases. The reason to be excited about tomorrow is a possible kernel source release and what the good devs here can do with that.

I have a buddy with a Transformer prime and he was going to return it and get an iPad until he put an ICS ROM on it. Now you can't pry it from his hands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
An international firmware is different, I could live with that as long as it had root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dungeon47:
If it's just an ICS firmware, then we're not much better off, but if we get kernel source with it, we'll be able to port I9100 ICS ROMs to I777 and enter a whole new magical era of ICS goodness.

I really doubt it is a mistake at this point, I just check on Facebook and saw this:

"Samsung offers Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for GALAXY S II

We're thrilled to announce that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be served to GALAXY S II users in the European countries including Poland, Hungary and Sweden, as well as Korea today, and gradually roll out to other markets."

of course this was at the bottom, "The availability and scheduling of the software update and specific models upgradeable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers' requirements."

and here is the link Samsung Mobile Samsung Mobile Facebook page

in any case I'll definitely take this as good news, only hope being that the source drops soon

Can't wait for a fully functioning ICS just to try it out for a while, I'm iffy about it being better daily imo compared to MIUI. I really love the way my phone is set up right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
There is no other newer One X from HTC... they are only making the One X (XL is the LTE version with the Snapdragon Krait that is actually better than the Tegra 3), the One S and then the small basic One V model.

AT&T got the XL version and its the top of the line from the One series, so I dont foresee another One model coming from HTC in a few months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
Me too...I'm running 2.2.24 and just switched my theme from the ics black ice to MIUI v4 and my phone looks and runs incrediblel. My battery life is pretty good(seemed better on sheps 2.2.3 though). I will probably try out the official Sammy ics ROM, but only until MIUI v4 is stable and fully functional. I really am digging the MIUI v4 theme it looks so polished and clean. It has that polished feeling of iOS.

ICS Officially Released for SGS2 (International), Root Acquired

Apparently the news that ICS has been officially released wasn't important enough to warrant its own thread, as it was closed, so I am putting the link here as directed by the Moderator.

Now that the International version has its official ICS ROM, its just a matter of time until some of the talented devs here get it working for our device.

When the SGH-I777 gets ICS, you can make a thread here, in the SGH-I777 forums. Which are for the SGH-I777. Which does not yet have an official release of ICS out for it. It being the SGH-I777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jsolares:
It's out for the i9100 this is the i777 part of the forums, so it's not out yet for us, ICS has been working on our device for quite a while, from roms ported over from i9100.

We will have to wait for sources to the kernel for people to actually be able and fix things for the i777, so the current release is pretty much moot for us.

Hopefully sources will be up soon

Agreed dev rooms are much better than anything AT&T has ever turned out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dineshbabumm:
A general n00b question. When it comes to desktop/laptop OS, one release covers all the hardware. For instance, I use Ubuntu in my laptop. When canonical releases their new version, I don't have to wait for Dell and within Dell model specific upgrade. It is one source for all hardware. At least several variations.

Why is Android, being a mobile OS, is different? As far as I know, only UNIX machines like Solaris, mac etc has machine specific OS while Linux and Windows work across several variations of hardware. I thought Android is Linux kernel based and I am amused that there is so much difficulty in getting the OS across different handsets even within a manufacturer like Samsung/HTC etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
It's not about difficulty, it's about control over what you can have. They are controlling the market by delaying updates so that new hardware is more appealing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
Well, this sucks: "Widgets can't be resized, there's no unified app and widget drawer, and no Roboto" and "Everything else – aside from a new lock screen – has been made to look as similar to the Android 2.3 TouchWiz interface as possible"

TheVerge quick review of GSII ICS - http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/13/2867950/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-android-4-0-video

I know it's all about the branding, but seriously? I'm glad the devs will be able to add it all back :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
Its actually better for them to keep it looking as close to stock touchwiz as possible. Think of the people who don't run custom roms or are rooted. When the update gets pushed to them, it would not be fair to them to have a completely new UI. Something they would have to learn to use and navigate. This way, its easier for the average customer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
Eew!! I watched the video, it looked like GB nothing sort of ICS at all!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
This.

Remember, the overwhelming majority of the people who have our phones or any other variants of it are just average consumers. It makes sense that they'll leave touchwiz largely untouched so all those customers will be able to use their phones with as little of a problem as possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
you may be statistically right, only those basic phone users to expert geeks registered with xda-developers await ICS, right? ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
A valid point, but how many of those average users will complain because "I upgraded and I don't have Ice Cream Sandwich! It's all just the same!". People do like their new and shiny - gives them that value added feel.

I know it's tough to balance, but it seems like they could have offered some switch or option as part of the "Samsung experience" to address those who want plain, and those who want new, without having to be here :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
That is true too. I too feel that they could had done a little something to spruce things up as well. From the leaked betas though we should had known that in all likelihood, it was going to be like the way it is though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
All Android phones are the same, they have to find something to differentiate themself. The average consumer sees the screen and the plastic body, they don't care about the hardware underneath.
