Been running ICS on my Motorola Defy for quite some time now :p

And it definitely is a big step forward (right direction imho), especially on the phone the looks and the whole concept is much improved, way more changes compared to the Froyo - Ginger read update. On the tablet the switch may be a bit smaller (because many of the Honeycomb elements have been carried over into ICS) but if you have seen videos of ICS on other tablets it becomes clear that the system is way better with ICS, a bit in terms of design, but especially in terms of overall speed and smoothness! That's why no one can wait to get the update which was supposed to hit earlier (at least before February, now we have to hope that it arrives in February ...)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luna_c666:
This is why ICS is taking so damn long..

I plan on adapting the update for CWM as soon as I can get my hands on the dlpkgfile.

I can wait two more days :) But I'm sure there will be *****ing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dhendy91:
I can't decide wether to root now and wait for a cwm flashable version of ICS. Or get the ICS update and wait if someone is able to root it!

I had no issue with rooting my desire as soon as i got I but for some reason can't decide with my transformer. Hmm decisions, decisions
[Eee Pad Transformer General] miketoasty:
Root it now as waiting for the official and updating it using that will block you from rooting it. You will probably be waiting an hour longer to get it from here than to just download it from ASUS plus you get all the root extras.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ferreinf:
I can wait a few more days, planing on using a CWM Build :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkmanx2g:
That will be impressive to be the first. First Gen tablet to get ics. I thought the xoom will get it first.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] miketoasty:
Nah, Motorola is terrible with updates as they not only have their tablets but they also have phones that they support.

ASUS mobile only has tablets which means we will always have great support.... At least for a little longer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
Great news, although I'll wait for a modified rooted version as I don't want to lose root access.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
Absolutely, 100% agreed.

My phone is a motorola Defy. Great hardware, truly dreadful software. Froyo was a huge disappointment on the phone with major bugs, and then motorola abandoned it (in its buggy state) and released the defy+ with the same hardware. Cyanogen saved the phone and made it what it should have been.

When it came to buying my tablet that thought was much on my mind, and so the Xoom didn't even get a look in. I have been very impressed with Asus's regular updates and bug fixes, and how quickly they get new android versions out there.

Now, when can I buy an Asus phone?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KaliKot:
Well, there's the PadPhone
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SWEagle:
Im with you! I will wait for a Rom from devs. I love my rooting too much :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dhendy91:
Yea just came to that conclusion Myself. Especially looking at the issues alot of prime users are having with ICS, i thing i will be waiting to update untill I know that the og transformer dosen't have the same problems as i have exams coming up and my transformer is very useful when doing 12 hour stints in the Libary!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SWEATTAIMI:
Guys lets not hope to much!

But as they release it for TF201*Prime*

i don't see why we there wont be any possibility to get it for TF101 as its almost same spec's some changes in CPU, maybe some touch driver change, not much has been change actually ^^

So it can be true !

[Eee Pad Transformer General] msfan01:
Mmmm I´m ambivalent. I rooted my Transformer 1 day after i got it :D

Im now running Revolver with ICS-Theme and was looking forward to the 4.0-Update. When it comes ca. in 24H I don´t know what to do. Unrooting or not :o

Hope the Devs are fast in creating a flashable zip! I BELIEVE IN YOU GUYS!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Efc911:
So happy I got the transformer back in april. To think i was disappointed I couldnt get a xoom in the uk at the time too! wow when is the xoom getting the update???
[Eee Pad Transformer General] IBMguy:
Dont quote me on this, but I had heard that the update to ICS would not break root. Not sure where i read this, but I know I read it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikelt89:
:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vectorized:
Well, I just read the thread for all the TF201 users who are actively using ICS 4.0.3... and they all said that their root has been sucessfully preserved through the update with "OTA RootKeeper". Apparently the ICS update does not wipe /system/, which, as of right now, i'm indifferent about.

There are lots of issues with lag and so on and so forth. Reboots or wipes are helping this issue.

I read on theVerge and phoneArena that the update for the TF201 will be released officially at 8pm EST tonight. So that would be 9am in Singapore on the 12th.

So i'm pretty sure we're all getting it at 8pm tonight or tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] patriotaus:
Were you reading 'Android Police' or another Android news website. Because i read something that said that ICS for the prime was out, and they had the modified file that preserved root.

i.e. the actual update does break root, but the file was easily modified to not break root.

So if you went out and installed the update you would lose root, but you should only have to wait a few hours for it rooted by the devs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] a.mcdear:
Once the OTA is out, my first and only goal is to get CM9 ported and running on my transformer ASAP. That is honestly the only interest I have in ICS at the moment... With Prime 2.1.1, I already have a very smooth tablet and it looks enough like ICS already.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
After using ics on the Galaxy Nexus, I have no doubt that this update will give new life to our TF101's :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] infazzdar:
I agree. I have my doubts that we'll get ICS on the TF101 in the US tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asteetva:
Out of line but hope they start making 4g phones for sprint, will easily give up my Epic Touch 4G samsung updates suck...and Asus announces update even before releasing...great job...I again hope pad phone comes to sprint
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jasonwuzthere:
Yep, read on ASUS (US) on Facebook that that is not true. If you look, they are still saying they have no date. Someone's getting trolled, IMO.

This was taken from here: https://www.facebook.com/asus.n.america Second post down.

Singapore is not a State of the USA:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
Theres a problem hes american and im sorry but majority of american companies will cover a leak or b.s even if info is correct probably because they can get sued quicker and easier if something goes astray.

Also go read it he crosses up hes story several times just in that post !!!!!

And finally he doesnt even sound like he has used android and is a paper pusher

Just my opinion but if asus singapore comments again and confirms once more ill take there word over the us side of the companys word.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] osho741:
crosses his story? I read all the responses. In every single one of his responses he states that the u.s branch has not received any information on a date. I see no mixups in any of his posts.

This is my take on it. It is simply poor communication between the branches and even within branches. The Singapore poster s probably just mistaken.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neofreek01:
edited for stoopidity sorry
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
The way he talks throughout it is like reading a court case no statement at this time the whole way through he uses safe statements.

Lots of people aren't taking into account globalisation. It's a taiwanese company, that released information from their singaporean branch, which is now being refuted by the american branch.

Anyone wonder why there is confusion?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Oughtsix:
My Transformer had pretty limited functionality when I bought it. No Netflix, no skype... etc. I had faith that ASUS would get there eventually and I am very pleased with my Transformer currently.

Although I would love to play with ICS my gut feeling is that I would be taking a step backwards in functionality. I have a feeling that many of the apps that I have come to love would stop functioning.

Hmmm... I wonder when they will be releasing the first update to fix all the ICS problems?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigCon:
No ICS until the end of the month...

[Correction] Dear all members, please kindly note that we have just received information from HQ that for TF101 update to ICS, as all has to be approved by Google, thus estimated availability to update to ICS will be around end of this month. Apologies for the error earlier. Thanks for your kind understanding.

truthfully, there shouldn't be many problems. i've been running cm9 ics on my galaxy s for a couple weeks and only the contact sync with facebook broke after ics update. of course for tablet apps it may be different but the majority should be OK

ics is suppose to bring tab and phone together which means apps you love on your phone you'll be able to love on your tab. And apps you love on your tab you'll love on your phone.

I have a galaxy nexus w/ ICS - most of the apps that I use on my transformer work just fine on it..

-m
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jasonwuzthere:
Most apps have change logs on their market page. If you look at the apps you're worried about, the change log should tell you if it has been updated for ICS. There have been quiet a few I've noticed listed ICS updates. If you are rooted, a simple nandroid would solve most of your worries.

On topic: I was REAAALLY wanting to be wrong. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
"Approved by Google" my ass. The build will be 99% identical to that for the Prime, with relatively minor driver differences. Asus are setting their own schedule, and shipping for the Prime first to push people towards it (and make the Prime owners feel "special" so they stop whining about Asus' basic hardware problems on the Prime, like non-functional GPS etc.)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gabbre:
They are ridicolous. I will not trust them anymore. Can some mod edit the title and close the topic please?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gkillerx:
You have realy NO IDEA where you are talking about, stop whing and go to apple if you hate ASUS, jsss.....:mad:

I find it pleased that they even update there "old" model, you can't except that from other companies out there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gabbre:
WTF, if they didn't have an official date they could easily avoid to answer. I'm not blaming them for the timing of the update, but for lying. Go to apple lol what are you taling about, I'm ok with Asus and their products. You're raging for nothing, you are whining.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gkillerx:
you think that's a normal awnser ? I will not trust them anymore. and now you are saying i am ok with asus?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gabbre:

They claiming that Asus Singapore made a mistake and made a rectification. But the rectification itself contains an error and ICS will be available not by the end of this month but by the end of NEXT month. How can i trust them if they change idea every 10 minutes?

Absolutely nothing, I'm simply expressing my opinion. Probably I'll wait for CM9. Now that you know that, what happens then?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josteink:
Awww. Stop whining.

We'll get it eventually. I'm pretty stoked about it too, but it's just a few weeks.

It's not like with Motorola where they "accidentally" lock the bootloader and then promise you updates and an open bootloader "sometime at the end of the year" and then just ****ing ignore it after the pressure has cooled down.

Heck. We'll probably get ICS before the Xoom which was the "Nexus" HC device.

A week or two off from a date given yesterday doesn't really mean the end of the world.

I realy don't mind if they need 3 months of devoloping I rather have a 110% fucntioning ICS then a 90% version!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sir Flashalot:
Lol, spot on about Motorola... I'm still waiting for the promised Gingerbread on my Moto Defy. Thanks to XDA devs this fine device is running (experimental) ICS now. Screw Moto, they should take an example to Asus, although they should work on their communications. Everyone and his dog at Asus is Twittering and/or Facebooking about ICS updates, causing confusion. But marketingwise this is very clever: it keeps the Buzz around and it gives them free publicity on teh Internetz.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eddiemerckx:
*edit* Nevermind, I was wrong.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ziffos:
Sit back - relax - let ICS arrive when it arrives.

All this discussion and arguments will NOT get ICS to you any quicker.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] henkmasterpro:
I also can't wait!

With Costom Roms, GPU acceleration was enabled so the whole interface was a lot smoother and the CPU didn't have that much work. I hope, ICS will further improve the GPU acceleration. Costom ROMS are near perfect, only my browser crashes sometimes so i hope ICS will make a end of this!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fonix232:
Actually HC's one improvement from the many was to have full-blown graphics acceleration - ICS dubbed that with it enabled by default in any third party apps (i.e. you don't have to add the hardware acceleration enabler tag in the app sourcecode). So it won't be much snappier (although it will feel snappier as it'll be most probably a clean new install, with cleaned dalvik cache, etc etc).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jasonwuzthere:
A wild guess would be that whoever runs the Singapore FB page either got a typo-ed message, or simply confused the TF101 with the TF201.

Did Google translate screw up, or did that Italian FB post say it was due out before the end of next year?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] just lou:
If you've seen some of the nasty "horizontal line issues" plaguing a large portion of TF-201's right now, it might be better if they get it right before they release it for the TF-101.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eppyramot:
What am i missing. I have been running the various ICS RC on my captivate for a month and it is a quantum leap from gingerbread. I have had the asus tf101 for 2 weeks now and with the ICS skin and krak'd it is functionally and visually almost the same experience. I think other than the skin, which i think is elegant and an ipad killer on looks alone, people have expectations of ICS that are way too high given that honeycomb is already a quantum leap over cm7/gb (which i have run on nooks, touchpads -my daughter's current tab etc, over the last year).

I have just completed a business trip to London and normally i have to lug around a laptop along with the tablet. But with the TF101 and a decent keyboard/mousepad plus gotomypc on android i didnt use my laptop at all (i run trading systems). And my battery never ran out on me! I love this machine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tomson74:
Well for those that THOUGHT ICS was coming today, looks like beginning of Feb http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...wich-update-to-roll-out-by-early-february-12/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CoreDuo08:
Hopefully by February we'll have a fairly complete CyangenMod 9 (or AOSP ICS) ROM from BumbleDroid and friends. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xyphoid:
One month on stock ROM (just flashed it back) or back to Revolution HD...??

Hate to install all apps again (have a Titanium backup, but need root to reinstall, so have to wait for ICS to be rooted).

If I stay with stock, I don't have to reinstall apps after update (am I right?).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josteink:
I see this mentioned every now and then. Does anyone have a link for those interested in how the development is going? Are there any alpha's out? Or is it still in closed development?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unfnknblvbl:
Honeycomb is nice and all, but it can be quite slow at times. ICS looks to introduce a whole bunch of performance related stuff. I believe the Linux 3.0 kernel brings some nifty power management features, too.

Basically, you know how when you install a new version of Windows on an older PC, it's usually slower than the previous one? Yeah, Android tends to work the other way. Up to a point, of course...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jrm5035:
Not to crap on your example, but Windows 7 runs much better than XP on nearly any machine that'll run XP. Has to do with better coding + ability to strip more GUI features out / better gains from that.

But in general you're right. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ziffos:
Looks like the old "Tomorrow Never Comes" ploy :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] miketoasty:
Why would you even go back to stock? I mean, it's not completely necessary to be rooted but I like a lot of the added features and to me is worth waiting an hour or two after ICS is released to get a rooted version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xyphoid:
True.

Well, back to CWM for now. And then, Revolution HD or Revolver...<SneerToApple>Choices, choices</SneerToApple>:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] maxvsmith:
I completely agree. I love the browser, flash, lock screen, clock, and everything about the theme. It's not the real version of ICS but with OC it's much better then honeycomb. I don't mind waiting til february right now because rooting, revolver, oc, and ICS theme solved pretty much everything that was bugging me about my TF101. There probably will be a HUGE difference once ICS is out for TF101 and we'll think, "that ICS theme was nothing like the real ICS".

But until then I'm alright :D

Absolutely nothing, because the cited Asus post says "soon", not "sooner than expected."

"Soon" could mean five minutes from now, or a month from now. It's all relative.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
There's really nothing new in that posting. They said before that it had to be approved by Google and now it's in the process of approving so it's not really a change in terms of how much days we can expect. It's not like they're saying "We promised to be at dinner by 6:30PM, we'll be there by 5:30PM" but rather "We promised to be at dinner by 6:30PM, it was 4:00PM when we made that announcement but it is now 5:00PM".

Probably end of this month as usual. Although I find it hard to believe they have to approve something and that it takes that long. Probably a ploy to make Prime owners feel better. :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AstroTrain:
I read somewhere that this version of ics we are getting doesn't have face recognition unlock which would be ashamed since the front camera won't be fully utilized with ics. Is it true Asus needs to implement the tweak to get it working?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
Face recognition unlock is just a gimmick at the moment.. Think about it, there are still massive errors in the algorithms used for that kind of thing, so Google/Asus will at the least, leave a loophole to get through the lock. (What kind of errors? Last I heard, the facial recognition systems were still based on primitive black and white contrasts that recognized an african-american male as NOT THERE.)
