It's more like a "cheer up, I'm sure it'll happen soon".

I think its provoked people to ask for ETA rather than numb them, d'oh!

#rant

By the way, I know it gets so annoying to have to tell people about ETA's but some (ahem most) developers I've seen (not xda) actually chuck a hissy-fit/sit on a banana when it happens... it's like they're on a high horse and any small thing (like a mouse) just fires them up and they actually "quit" developing. Strange I know, but yes its partly the developers fault sometimes for being too sensitive.

Where did you get this ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
Who needs proper call functionality on his phone when having a working stylus...? :D :p

I believe...

...sums it up quite well. Either on this board, the CM board or another board Google most likely knows about when asked...

Seriously though, I'm quite excited about CM, I really do hope though there will be cool goodies as well for the stylus. I mean without the dedicated pen apps/pen functionality the Note would be little more than a nicely specced contemporary though HUGE smartphone. It wouldnt be worth the name without any pen goodies, actually.

Just saw a review of the Nexus.. We need ICS on our notes very badly!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aRk3Y:
webchat.freenode.net Join channel #icsnote then you can see all the latest info about the current progress of ICS on the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
ICS is expected to release on the G-Note right, so this port has to make it functioning ahead before the release or theres no point.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zsolti256:
Or... We could say "theres no point" in saying these things cause what improvement done for the Note beyond porting 4.0 will probably benefit in the official 4.0 for the Note too, if samsung will doesn't tweak it the same way. Not to mention the uplifting feeling of getting something done, exploring , coding, etc. But we don't expect you to understand!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Sorry for offending you, I didnt mean it that way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hironimo:
Since Maui has joined Teamhacksung and thus in my understanding Cyanogenmod, does this mean that we can expect a release together with a proper CM9 build for the Samsung Galaxy S II, or are the releeases not tied together?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] renegade027:
Do you mean, like, an official Samsung ICS release? That is going to take

atleast

6-7 months. NO OEM has ever been able to bring an OS update in under 7 months. To make things trickier - ICS takes longer to tinker with. So yes - realistically June/July - Motorola may be sending OTA ICS updates (that's their ETA, not mine) followed by HTC and, finally, Samsung....With some luck by September next year there might be a Samsung made build for the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dragooon123:
All the efforts to have ICS even a day before actual release are worth it, and ICS for our note is not coming before Jan-Feb next year.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dscline:
The Note is my first Samsung phone, so I haven't experienced the history that has led to Samsung's poor update reputation. But I do have a Galaxy Tab 10.1, and I have to say they've been fairly timely with the Honeycomb updates.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
I was actually expecting ICS on June-July of 2012 for our device knowing how slow samsung releases official updates either that or a new Galaxy Note device comes out with ICS before the current note gets one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Don't forget that the updates depends on the location.

US = The carriers are controlling the updates

Europe (And the rest of the world?)= Samsung is controlling the updates
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kebong:
no. any effort for the gnote's betterment is good effort.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vinokirk:
Ha, by June/July I will probly have a new phone :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
Then my friend you have bought the wrong phone.

If you trully think about upgrading already then you should've bought a Gnex!

Here's some numbers for estimations sake:

SGS was available mid-June with 2.1 (0 months)

SGS got official upgrade in mid-November to 2.2 (5 months)

SGS got official upgrade in to late-May 2.3 (11.5 months)

SGS got functional 2.3 ported from Nexus S in mid-January (2 months from Nexus S 2.3 release)

(OR 7 months from SGS release)

Samsung said they will be faster this year, I believe them, but I don't think it'll be significantly faster probably about 1.5months quicker.

So here's my estimations:

SGNote was available mid-November with 2.3 (0 months)

SGNote should get official upgrade in late-March to 4.0 (4.5 months)

SGNote should get functional 4.0 ported from Galaxy Nexus in mid-February (3 months)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Probably the same, that should be the time the S3 comes out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kanalcommander:
I think you have one mistake in your calculation: you are calculating how long Samsung needed to port 2.3 to the SgS after release of SgS but 2.3 was released in December so Samsung needed 6 month not 11.5 after 2.3 release, and that's the point.

I cannot blame Samsung for they didn't release 2.3 in August 2010.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I suspect Samsung were working on ics for the gnote before it was released... But yes... I too suspect it'll be 1st qtr 2012
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vinokirk:
I can definately say, I have not bought the wrong phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dravenSt0rM:
Please mate, state in your first post is your ROM:

-Beta

-Full

And please state number of the version

Thanks for cooperation with XDA Developers.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Caryntjen:
Wow, would be nice to get some ICS action on the Note! So good start I guess :)!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
1) This is in the general section

2) This is not a ROM, this is an announcement

3) You are not a Mod or a Developer, don't act like you are somebody

4) GTFO from our section, if you can't read english you don't belong here.

EDIT: There will be a leak later this week where someone will be releasing the SGS2 ICS beta this weekend and the Note and the SGSII share the same hardware. Shouldnt take more than a week to port it to the Note.

Soooo yeah, your cynicism got you nowhere brah.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alejandrissimo:
thats a test version like the a TON of phones have

i guess for get a feedback from users.

Anyway there is no phones with oficial stock working ICS update yet
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
It's a test version with probably none of the essential ICS core features.

And Google and other manufacturers are "slow"? Who are you comparing them to?

Apple?

HA Apple releases 1 update per year for their mobile OS and old devices either lag or don't get the core features that were worth upgrading for.

If you don't want to wait, port it yourself. Stop complaining about how manufacturers are "slow".

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
I guess people read just a sentence, not the whole post to make a opinion about the thematic of it. A "NO name" company that as I know, correct me if I am wrong, has nothing to do with Google, releases a test aka working but with bugs but still WORKING ics Rom, a official one! Sorry for all the hard working des out there but at least for me I will never trust a custom Rom to flash on a phone, as I wouldn't know what the maker implanted on it. I would better start to learn coding and make for me one or at least to know what I am flashing on a machine that has my life and work on it. We are all already giving to many to www with the daily use of our phones and may some of us even don't know/knowledge what some apps or even the browser sends out there on the world wide web.

But don't fear EU now has ZuGUTENberg for the security and the truth on the world wide web.

Status is incorrect.

[STATUS: Booting. Don't ask for ETAs. Works: WiFi, BT, TS, S-Pen, Mobile Data - Doesn't work: TouchKey Backlight, Camera, In-Call Mic]

As of last night, mauimauer said he had the touchkey backlighting working halfassedly by being able to manually light them up. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Yumunum:
I really hope we have the option to disable the phones buttons (especially their lights - I don't want to see them!) and use onscreen buttons like the Nexus. I still want the home button though. I wanna be able to tap it to wake the phone, tap it again to lock/sleep it, and hold it down for a voice search like the iPhone 4S and Siri activation. When driving, bein able to just hold down the physical button without looking at it is perfect and SAFER than any other alternative. Also, whipping out the phone and waking/sleeping it with the button would make things a breeze. No more using Samsung's awkwardly placed power button. Or even better - we could have the option to customize all of these buttons/features to our liking.

Anyone else agree with me here?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
You can disable the lights of the buttons, driving and using a phone??? Omg go buy a iphone it has what you need from I read on your post, you love this and that from iphone so go buy it, and stop whining why a other company isn't using the same futures from a iphone on his phones.

A dev plz go make a iOs 5 for his note, NOW.

Thank you for your patience
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brycestejskal:
Why is everyone so insitant on complaining and being so rude in this thread? The last few pages are just arguments and put downs... If I were developing for this device I would sure think twice after reading all this.

This is forum is about sharing and developing... not being an ass to people because you can get away with it over the internet without suffering the potential consequences.

Please, be respectful of your fellow xda members.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
Somehow you got right on this. The anonymity of the www gives us a place where you can say things and you don't need to think about them. But as you may know to give to someone to understand something you may to get to his niveau as he wouldn't respect/completely understand what you trying to explain to him. You can find anything with the new search machine that has come on www the past decade www.Google.com, make your homework for the issue that bothers you, and at end if you learned few thinks or more for it then if you still having, or if your question/problem haven't been resolved, something that you have to ask the community.

Sorry if I sounded/was ironic on my posts.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fards:
Its a direct build against codeauroura forum code... in other words qualcomm code for their devices...

Very easy to do if you have built a device using their reference design which that device appears to be.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
Actually I think I do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Carmageddon1984:
Actually one very painful thing which I hope the ICS rom would include, is the capability to DISABLE at least the back button when using S-Memo!

This is soo frustrating, when I always accidentally click it with my palm of the right hand while writing with the S-Sen.

And no I cant get used to it - its not ergonomic to hold my palm in the air, my laptop's pen automatically disables touch as soon as it senses the pen.

And even my Boss's iPad has application to type, which disables (or at least ignores it) the right button corne so he can rest his palm on it and write freely.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PickleHead:
You could always flip it landscape so the buttons aren't under your hand
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gamero_m:
that's awosome!!!!!, i will w8 for a stable release ^^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Carmageddon1984:
I am already doing that, but then I am not used to having Home and Menu etc on the left hand..

Besides adapting is never right.. ergonomically, its bad design.. no matter how you tweak and say it, the buttom line is bad ergonomics design for the power buttons and the issue of using S-Pen with having palm resting on the edge of phone...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PickleHead:
Totally agree with you, just throwing out a work-around. I think it disables the capacitive buttons once the pen hits the screen... maybe?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] muralikrishna.varma:
Love to see stable working ICS port, keep up your good work :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] macwilson:
Will (or can) the hardware buttons be disabled with ICS? I seem to recall reading this somewhere.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Carmageddon1984:
Interesting! I just checked it.

This is true ONLY if you are drawing already, then it ignores input on the back/menu buttons.

Possibly its actually not a by-design function even - maybe when it is drawing, it does not register for the back/menu events? Or maybe the Os does not send these Events when it is in middle of drawing event?

Although it is possible of course they are being ignored.

Then adjusting the application to give similiar toggle setting for the whole application should be easy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
Its much simpler than that. The pen is not a capacative pen... Its a stylus for use with a wacom style tablet. The wacom style tablet tech doesn't extend to the buttons. Just the screen.

The buttons are Just plain old capacative digitizer screen based buttons.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Carmageddon1984:
Yes we know that, but it does not change the fact the S-Memo needs to be adjusted and when the S-Pen is sensed (even if not pressed, I am not sure whether it can sense it before pressing already) - disable the buttons until pen is no lonver sensed!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] daddymatt:
Long time android user that hates icrap and I agrees with you 100%... atleast it would be nice to have the option... imagine the note without a home button... everytime you woke the screen you would have to reach across the phone... screw that! I love reading the increasingly ignorant apple vs. Android thing but the thing is, a home button on a phablet like this just makes since... i mean, just because it has a button, that relates it to apple? Its got a screen too! And volume rockers! ... oh my gosh!!! Wow, thats all i can say, just wow. actually, I was reading a review and dude said "I'm waiting for it to come state side because they will remove the home button" ... what? Doesn't anybody else get tired of making a call while taking the last lap of a course in asphalt 6??? Am I the only one? IMHO capacitive buttons were Google's worst design choice... and that's why they are being showed the door. That has nothing to do with anything "i" ... so leave it out... Now, all of this is just opinions ... be nice. No need for "oh my gosh, make this Guy ios 5 now!" Because 1, that just shoes extreme ignorance and 2. It shows you have no class. Just because we can't physically see each other, doesn't mean we shouldnt be cool to each other... its what XDA is all about! Side note; you can already disable the lights dude, in settings under display. My real reason for agreeing so much is I don't want to have double buttons... I'd like to be able to have it either or... really, that just makes since.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] macwilson:
And while your at it :D , disable all touch input with a toggle switch. This is the way TabletPC's work, and this should be implemented with this. After all, there are two separated digitizers, and you don't HAVE to have both operating at the same time ; even though one is disabled when writing is constant. But this mode is not ideal, as often people may pause for long periods. In other words, the 'disable by writing' switching feature doesn't work all that well for some/most? people.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Carmageddon1984:
I disagree.

I think if you do it right, via customizeable settings in the menu of S-Memo, everyone will adjust it to their habits:

Alice will disable all input keys while in writing mode (until saved/discarded).

Bob would do as Alice but also enable the Home button as reset button to normal mode (and home screen).

Charlie would Set to automatically disable input only when S-Memo senses the pen nearby (I think its possible? we need a look at the technology and SDK see if its possible).

THIS would make everyone happy, and should not be hard to implement in the coding!

I think most people would do like Charlie.

This is awesome news.. I was using teamhacksungs port on my sgs1 and it worked very well.. I'll take this over the official Samsung release any day of the week. Can't stand the look of the touchwiz version it ruins ics for me personally. I have the galaxy nexus too and the pure Google version of it is so much nicer
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] betoNL:
I don't think that this is what he meant.

He was talking a about the official ICS upgrade.

If the Nexus S is already getting it, perhaps it wont take long till the sgsII and the Note get it...

Official upgrade.....no buggy ports......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ardabey:
Nexus S gets its updates from Google. Nexus devices are pure android and they are Google's reference phones.

GS2 and Note use Samsung's customized android builds (with touchwiz) and their software updates come from the manufacturer (samsung), not from Google.

When a new version of android is released, Google pushes the update to all the compatible (meaning not too old) Nexus phones as soon as possible, if not immediately. The phone manufacturers, on the other hand, take the new released android source code, test, modify and tinker it for as long as they feel like (generally, at least 6 months or so), then push the modified update to the users.

TLDR: Nexus S is on a completely different update structure/provider than GS2 and Note. Samsung will take its sweet time to release the update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Elenkis:
Then he shouldn't have been questioning my post, which was clearly about the current status of Maui's Team Hacksung port.

this is also Bell Canada's estimated release. Which usually comes quite a bit after Samsung releases upgrades for their international versions. So hopefully, it is sooner than this article would lead us to believe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
It sure will be.

Bell canada does not even have a release date for galaxy note ( did i miss it )

So first release it with 2.3.6 and then a few months later update to 4

However the international version was released more than 1.5 months ago.

So Late By late jan or feb we will see a 4 release or atleast a leak

Every thing is my guess
