[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] frankmehta:
I have a feeling this delay is something to do with the launch of the Galaxy Note 10.1. If the original note got all the bespoke features of their premium suite before the 10.1 is out for sale, then they don't have anything new to market for the 10.1. Otherwise hardware wise they don't have much of an issue since the hardware coincides so much with the s2.

I feel the impending launch of the 10.1 inch Galaxy Note will pave the way for the ICS update for our notes.

Think about it, it's quite a logical explanation.

If they do launch the ics update for our notes before that, then the wow factor of their flagship tablet (premium suite ) is no longer an exclusive feature and not something to rant and rave about. Making it an also ran in the already crowded and highly competitive tablet market.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I'd say its probable that there is a connection. But doubtful that its the reason.

Again, i'd suggest that the drought of leaks is a good indicator that they just haven't allocated a lot of resources to it, probably also to do with the delay to the american market (a Huge market for them).

The more leaks we see, the better chance we have of getting it sooner...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
Doesn't really work like that. In most cases firmware is developed in per-device teams, so there would be a G-Note team a Note 10.1 team, etc.

Obviously there would also be teams working on core functionality key to a number of products, but ultimately a team of devs is responsible for getting our new firmware out and it probably isn't the same team that is working on SGS2 ICS, or Note 10.1 for that matter.

Sometimes devs might get moved from team to team but that is rare. I've worked as a dev in firmware teams and pretty much all of those I've been involved with have this approach. You are on the project until you deliver and then you are into something else!

April 12th has come and gone, and nada.:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] captainhakan:
I check this thread couple of times daily for more then a month now and get disappointed each time. I think Samsung should make an official statement of their dead line as for respect of customers. I believe premium suit is a huge deal but i felt tired of checking if there are any news on release date everyday. Samsung really has to make release date clear. I am also glad with my Note powered by GB but I feel lazy to setup every single detail and software according to my taste in GB just in case ICS should be released anytime now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hmtsjmftsch:
Try to breath in and out and relax a little. Samsung said ICS will come in Q2, which today is exactly 13 days old. No need to panic, to feel upset or to get angry. Enjoy what you have, don't get upset by what you think you're owed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] roxxy:
I understand him and feel the same. Samsung promised it should come in Q1 a long time ago. That clearly didnt happend and now they say Q2. Whats next, maybe they find an excuse and say Q3?

They should make an effort to keep promises they give their customers. Or when they cant keep them, they should at least explain why and when...

I've never seen so much whining in one thread. The ratio of useful posts to whining in this thread is about 1:20 :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
it's not like everyone is getting ICS but us. Seems to me like everyone is delaying the ICS rollout. So everyone must be waiting on Google for a stable enough version. Hope they won't make this mistake again, of launching a new version over half a year before it's anywhere near ready for primetime.

LP6 leaked out today.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xeq544:
Using fully functional ICS for some weeks already, dunno what this thread is about... oh is it about the crappy TW ICS from samsung ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] captainhakan:
Premium suit is a huge deal. It's not all about ics. I was a hater of tw as I came from an HTC sense device but now once I got used to it I find it very useful with help of mods. Don't get me misunderstood guys. I am very glad with my device as it is. I just don't wanna spend time to do all customisation stuff( I do lots) b4 I have ICS as I don't wanna start from the scratch when I upgrade. So I can't take full benefit of my note in GB now. You mention you are on ICS for a while. I been there, tried the leaks with huge excitement but there were lots of bugs and force closes were the deal breaker for me on IcS leaks. Now that I seen ICS for SG2 is officially out (source: http://twitter.com/SamMobiles/statuses/190790879777267712) I hope they can focus on Gnote at last.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
Did you try midnote 3.0 (it's almost like clean stock LP5 rom)? I'm using it more than a week, and I don't have any FC or bug. Don't know about touch****, I removed it immediately after flashing, but Apex Launcher works perfect. The only thing that disappointed - FCs at tablet mode. So for now I forced to use only 220 dpi phone mode. Hoping that will be fixed at LP6.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joyo22:
I'm on ICS since the first leak (LP1) was out and haven't been back to GB since then. I can't get all the whining here. Just flash a freakin' ROM (there are several amazing ones) and enjoy ICS. Most of them are fully functional and, I bet, are better than what Samsung officially plans to release.

PS: By the way, tablet mode on AOSP/AOKP Roms is amazing.

PS2: Stop crying and flash stuff. For God's sake, it's a development forum!!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
I will never flash a bootleg ROM, I'd rather stay with a GB, on my HD2 I have always used a custom ROM but it was based on official one and not on a Chinese which is not even intendet for the original device , besides you are posting in the general forum, not development.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joyo22:
Bootleg? Really? FYI the i9220 and the N700 are identical. Leaks are not bootleg. They are made and developed by Samsung.

And I'm posting in the general SECTION of a development SITE. Got it?

Install another rom that supports touchwiz and Samsung apps. I am on midnote 3.3 and s memo works quite well. There are some bugs right now that might be showstopper to you so please read the last pages of the thread before you decide.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] airwater9:
Samsung are getting better but still are way behind other companies in terms of software support.

In all honesty the Note should have launched with ICS considering the Nexus did and that was released before the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zoetrope:
Advice taken, and thanks for it :-). Been running Imilka's AOSP ICS ROM for ~4 days now, it's a thing of beauty. I don't care about MuchWizz, Samsung's apps, gimmicky pen apps. I bought the GT-N7000 purely for the beautiful big screen. With Imilka I now have ICS buttah smoothness, Nova Launcher, a real mobile browser with Chrome, and no FCs or bugs. Won't need to visit this thread again, even when Sammy gets their act together and releases their muddled ICS.

PS3: The truth is out there. Stop waiting for it, you'll never get it from Sammy.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
I don't think samsung will release Android 5.0 for Note. Remember Galaxy S and ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
You are too serious for your own good.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I don't think that matters.

ICS stock will be plenty good enough until aosp custom jelly bean is good enough to replace it. By then I expect to be in the market for a new phone anyway...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] captainhakan:
i wish i could hold myself back :)

i decided trying latest custom ics releases while waiting for samsung official release and i am settled down with midnote ics 3.3 for now. Nothing like the first custom ics builds. It has issues but pretty usable as well

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the_bone_collector:
Assuming your theory is right, I really think sammy needs to take a really hard look at the developers in the Galaxy Note team. They seem to be awfully slow compared to their S2 cousins! :-D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I think you're looking at it from the wrong perspective.

the Galaxy S2 has sold in excess of 30 million units, the Galaxy Note has sold 5 million.

Of course it makes sense to release for the S2 before the Note.

Of course it makes sense that the S2 would have more dev resources than the Note.

This is all to be expected, the bonus for us is that the S2 and the Note have very similar hardware, so we should consider ourselves lucky that we're getting it so soon.

the time its taking is annoying, and frustrating but all together reasonable.

the leaked one is not good the i9220 i just finished it testing it fully, its not worth note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pantweb:
When I bought my first "high end" device (Galaxy Note) I faced for the first time the great problem between Google (Android) and manufacturers.

I worked a little on Android sources for a company in Italy for a test and at the same time with android-x86 guys.

The manufacturers are interested in justifying a part of the cost in different stuff like hardware, materials, but also "added value" custom applications and customizations to the GUI.

What I expect from manufacturers is to DO NOT FORK AOSP sources privately... Just develop applications like other software developers do, providing "added value" as a choice and allowing users to uninstall them.

They should only customize the parts linked to the Android HAL and below (kernel, maybe custom daemons).

I think the only way to have the TRUE "Google Experience" is to buy "Google logo equipped" devices, like Nexus, Nexus S, some Hauwei models...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gazza35:
Dont know if this has been reported yet, but im testing this rom and discovered why it only shows a 1.2ghz cpu, thats because this has to be a hybrid SGS2 rom, somehow working for the note, perhaps people assumed the i9220 was a note variant, but if you connect the note to KIES with this rom you will see that your phone neither shows as i9220 or N7000, but does indeed show as the i9100.

So how this rom has been leaked, or made workable on the note i have no idea, perhaps this has already been mentioned, but i am now highly suspicious of it and intend to remove it as soon as possible, im not convinced this is a samsung leak.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joshnichols189:
Did you ever think that maybe Samsung meshed together pieces of the i9100 ROM to make it work for the Note? It is supposed to be "beta" after all.

yes man you are correct we are just been fooled by this sammobile people i have been checking it out there

i was checking the rom in full the rom has been adjusted with the build props to work in that accordance its not designed for note and was never for note

will use MobileOdin, lets see if it works
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gazza35:
Really!!!!

So samsung are in the habit of, lets just throw these roms together and make it work for the note!

If thats the case then why have developers not been able to complete cm9 with sgs2 drivers?

Im sure some of the developers have a reason why it shows as i9100, id love to know, apart from that niggle i cant actually fault this rom, it does seen to work 100% on the note, without too much noticeable lack of power on quadrant scores compared to GB, having said that, i do have to say that there is plenty of lag all over the place on it, even on the home screen swiping side to side, but thats possibly my launcher, i use zeam, maybe zeam doesnt work as well as it did on GB for this rom.

But yes you could well be right, and as i stated, HYBRID, which is what your suggestion would make it
