From mobile-review.com (russian version):

At MWC 2012 in Barcelona Samsung announced "Premium S/W Upgrade" for Galaxy Note in the beginning of 2012, including:

Enchanced handwriting

Upgraded S Memo

One hand operation mode

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] beestee:
Of course it is coming, in fact we would already have ICS if it was working properly on the Exynos note. The ATT note uses much of the previous generation hardware, so it is very similar to the Galaxy S II, and therefore was not much of a stretch to get it updated once the GSII was updated. A lot of people wonder why the leaks have been so few and far between the past few months...it is because something is majorly wrong with the upgrade process.

If you have been following CM9 development around here lately, Entropy has made it pretty clear that this is most likely what the hold-up is.

It makes sense that Samsung would try and get the upgrade working within an acceptable threshold of failure before they put themselves into a recall situation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SurfHenk:
I am not sure I understand your reasoning, isn't it the other way around?

As far as I know, the "standard" International Note uses the same Exynos 4210 processor (only slight overclocked) as used in the Galaxy S II and is therefore much more similar to the Galaxy S II. As opposed to the ATT note which uses a Snapdragon S3 processor.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guitarplayerone:
very stupid/noob question

when official ICS comes out for any carrier, it should only take a few hours to de-bloat that build, and release a re-pack anyone could flash via Odin right?

It shouldn't matter that it isn't carrier or region-specific since the kernel is signed, and will not increase flash counter nor void warranty.

therefore there at least wont' be another 2-3 weeks to wait for it to be released for 'unlocked international phones' after that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
The answer to all of the above is yes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robertberma:
But if i whas you i would not go for the first release. Look at sgs2 when first release came out. Load of bugs and samsung hold the release back for few weaks and released a new update. So lets see if it all goes well and than consider to flash it ore wait for your region update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
I think a lot of people would say that not bothering to read the thread they are posting on and later insults the person who gives them the answer is arrogant, and that someone who points out the former person's shortcoming but also answers their question is both observant and kind.

Don't worry, my life won't end because I've missed out on one 'Thanks' vote. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] beestee:
My reasoning began in response to this:

Add to this my second hand experience with the leaks available for my cousin's AT&T Skyrocket (GSII w/ snapdragon).

And just a little further, the other emmc issues are on exynos equipped GSIIs, perhaps not the I-9100 so much as the US variants, but still we are in the same boat kernel wise as the GSIIs that are affected by the same kernel problem.

And I would venture to say that the I-9100 is the only reason why there is progress on the lovely CM9 and open source kernel development. We would be hosed if not for the I-9100, or at the very least we would have to be much more patient.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
Does anyone know if the S2 GB->ICS upgrade was a full wipe upgrade?

Do we expect that to be the case with the Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guitarplayerone:
pretty sure it was. most proper GB updates *should* be installed as full wipes, with cache and davlik cleared. all ICS roms that I know of so far are full wipe. totally different OS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robertberma:
Always non wipe when upgrade with kies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
lol, two sequential answers, both completely conflicting.

Clear as mud as always :-D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] @bushwilliams:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robertberma:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ddeath:
No wipe using Kies. My friends and my collegues S2 ICS updates went through smoothly and all the apps and info stayed intact. ;)

2months ago(when SGS2 updates ICS), SAMSUNG official twitter(twitter.com/samsungtomorrow) said "It is easier to develop new device's ICS than update previous medel to ICS"

That's what mean? I'm not a developer... so what they said is not understood to me.

Is it so hard to upgrade from GB to ICS...?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] m2b999:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
Of course is harder to push out new OS updates than to develop a brand new device OS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] robertberma:
Well devs here do not find it difficult. And they not even got paid to do it. I do not want stock ics but i want it because devs here can go further with the development with cm9 and with a f..king fast kernel. Thats what i want. Hell just give us the sourses and f..your tw ics samsung. Oeps sorry

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JolyonS:
And these devs also do not have to provide any support for the work they do, nor do they have commercial reputations to protect, nor do they expect their work to be straightforward for even the least techincally minded users.

There are some great Android devs and their hard work and dedication is hugely appreciated but they do not operate within the same parameters and restraints that Samsung does.

some news.

From samsung hongkong

the page of samsung hongkong's facebook has ****ed by Hong Kong people.

anybody is angry for le ics de note et nexus,anybody.

but the page de samsung mobile is still too Mainstream,all about ass-kissing.

so samsung hongkong to face this full page angery,He promised ics will come in May.

(Note ICS 五月內就會有架喇 ! thx 你地既等待, 可以遲D留意我地update news Samsung Mobile HK Note ICS 既upgrade會係五月有架喇, 多謝你地耐心等待 !)

But for a ***** who likes samsung ,who knows?

---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

I think if samsung cant rollout ics in may,hongkong people will **** samsung's ass up.

I never see a page of samsung's facebook is so angry like this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Peter Galbavy:
... and as someone who is in Hong Kong for an extended business trip I can say that the Note is to be seen in peoples hands (small and large) as much as the SII, but maybe not the iPhone. The Note is a big deal here, unlike at home in London.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NutZInTheHead:
I am running out of patience, lol.

But one thing I have promised myself is that I will not complain. Well at least not yet.

From the video running ICS on the i717 it looks like ICS is hardly noticeable. the touchwiz UI is annoying.

Is the touchwiz UI on the SGS3 version 5? because when watching videos of the phone it was somewhat different to the touchwiz i have seen so far.

I really hope ICS will be a lot smoother than GB. I sometimes get slight lag when flipping pages on my Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] junaid202:
Seems they want to release after s3 market release or they din't build dev team to work on updates, they just selling their hardware with available software, they damn care about software dev part.. thats why iPhone is more successful in spite of small screen compare to others
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sonkameja:
and is the same reason why the next iphone is gonna have a bigger screen ..... oh wait i just contradicted your statement .......

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
When the f.ck is ics coming for galaxy note?

I just flashed darkyrom which is gingerbread rom after enjoying criskelo ics rom for few weeks coz of bricking issues from leaked rom.

And I paid so much money for this note and I can't risk to brick it.

Criskelo ver 2 was great icecream sandwich rom with touchwiz and all s apps working flawlessly and possibly developed by him or small team.

Then why the hell can't Samsung give us official ics with its all money,man and resources?what is wrong with them?atleast they should give us a progress report to keep the promise.

Darkyrom rules now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azawa:
Hi there.. It's look like Samsung will release the Premium Suite ICS for our Note when the newest Android a.k.a JellyBean becomes popular.. It's mean that the release time will take longer than we can imagine.. Hahaha.. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azawa:
I'm using Criskelo V2 but there's some bugs on my Note (I dont know why). The bugs is the Battery drain faster than my GB before (only about 12 h from 100% to 0%, while GB up to 17 h), on the 'Battery Usage' on my Criskelo V2 Note I see that annoying battery usage, it's called MEDIA (on top (1st) position of battery usage), it was took up to 45% my battery (even the Screen and Idle lower than Media) and I think that's the reason why my Note becomes warmer than usual, temperature up to 45 C.. So then I think the best way I flash my Note back to original firmware (lastest GB for my regional) and waiting like no hope until Samsung release the Official ICS with the fuc*ing awesome Premium Suite..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Princeomi:
If you want to do a wipe, then its always recommended that you do the full wipe before installing. For additional safety you can do it after install also. Wiping won't hurt, its only the installed program you will lose. You may have to use a program like TB.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _pigro_:
could you give a brief "idiots guide" to this - sounds like an android app that can download the update direct from the phone (without Kies or OTA) and then apply it without losing root in the process? I was planning to try upgrading to ICS OTA with rootkeeper - this preserved root for me during the upgrade to LC1, but I'm not sure whether I was just lucky, and whether ICS, being more major, is less likely to be upgradable while preserving root with rootkeeper.

I opened Odin, connected the USB cable after going into download mode, Odin saw it fine.

A couple of things:

- All apps, S-Memos etc I had installed were left intact. A lot of them also upgraded.

- It added heaps of annoying home screens, moved my applications about and generally messed up my nicely organised home screens.

- Chrome is installable, as is the TED CONFERENCE app (wooo!)

- All the apps I had organised into folders are now not in folders - everything is just all over the place

- S-Note seems to be a separate app from S Memo (all my old memos are still in S-Memo). S Note has the formula/shape/etc tools.
