[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yeahmon:
If you have a custom ROM, will the new ICS update show up for OTA update when it is released?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] WereCatf:
Very likely not. Though that depends a little on the ROM you're using.

FROM THE MODERATORS•••PLEASE READ POST ALL ICS INFO HERE ONLY

I haven't seen this article posted. I looked, searched... So apology if I missed it.

http://www.bgr.com/2012/02/10/ice-c...samsung-galaxy-s-ii-galaxy-note-on-march-1st/

An Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note is slated for a March 1st release, according to mobile industry insider Eldar Murtazin. Murtazin posted a tweet claiming the official update would roll out next month, though availability will vary depending on country and carrier. He also said that the Android 4.0 update will be made available over the air or using Samsung’s Kies software. Samsung previously announced that an Android 4.0 upgrade would be coming to the Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy Note, Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
This locking threads business is rubbish.

We can't discuss the merits or lack thereof of new information. Any discussions we do have are going to get lost due to other new streams of information muddying the time lines.

I request that we don't lock threads, keep a central thread of news and info... But let individual threads with new info keep popping up...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] O_G:
This is the reason this thread was created. New threads were popping up all the time. Keeping a eye out for the latest news started getting difficult.

Some of them completely useless. This thread should tie them all together, you are still free to discuss the upcoming ICS, just do it in this thread.

This has been discussed between the moderation team, its going to stay the way it is. As we believe it will help the majority of users.

Take it easy

O_G
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
You miss the point completely.

When we could create and discuss new threads they stayed afloat based ENTIRELY on merit.

If it was a rubbish news source, half a dozen people posted so and the thread died and went away.

With this system we mess up one thread with BS discussions on rubbish and good news sources, you're forcing a spammy thread.

worse yet if in one week we get three poor news sources and one good one its going to be bloody hell trying to have a decent discussion on the decent news article because the three bad ones will be generating more noise than the good one in the same thread.

It boggles the mind that you guys think this is a good idea.

Mod Edit: Removed Foul language
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] O_G:
I think you miss the point.

We have to keep everything in check here at XDA. It becomes a nightmare when people post useless posts over and over. It just makes it difficult for the good users to find the info they want.

What is the point in having threads turn into a flame war just because there mad ICS has not arrived. It will get here when its ready! Having endless discussions about it is not going to speed the process up.

You moaning is not going to change the decision, as i explained its a decision made by the moderating team!

If you have some valid information to add to this post, then please do.

Take it easy!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] WereCatf:
What is there to discuss? There is no specific date given and no country has yet gotten ICS for Galaxy Note, so all you have is hand-waving in the Q1@2012 direction. Hardly anything interesting to say about that, with that little information all you can do is guess. Besides, everything worth saying about it has been already said.

Facts:

ICS will come.

All "leaks" and tips point at the Q1 timeframe.

No specific date.

Not all countries will get it at the same time.

Nothing else. That's that. Hell, we don't even have a confirmation of whether it'll get TouchWiz or not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I see. So the enigmatic mod team know every thing and is aways right and there is to be no discussion on their decisions?

I begin to understand

Also, what foul language?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ranjan.alva:
Even i dint understand..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] claude4:
GNote update to ICs when officially released without loosing CWM and root

The solution\instructions on how we, who are rooted and have updated ourselves to stock roms (up to LA6), will be able maintian root, maybe without a wipe ICS rom would be great to "hear" about at this point.

I for one w/b keeping an eye on Dr.Ketan's Stock ROM thread, top of the development area.

Claude H.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] O_G:
Enough, Last warning! The decision has been made!

You really cant take a hint, take a look at the post after my last one, maybe you will understand that!

This thread is about the upcoming ICS release. From now on all negative non related posts in this thread will be deleted.

And if you dont know what a swear word is, then we really do have a issue:confused:

Keep it on topic....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] praetorius:
i'm with the moderating team on this one. it becomes a nightmare when a lot of rubbish thread sprouts every now and then. tidying up, locking and deleting irrelevant thread is quite a chore, really. i should know... used to moderate a forum with approx 300K members :-)

and members need not worry about the 3 bad issues muddying the thread against the 1 good, valid point. the moderators are here to sweep after everybody's mess, if warranted.

keep up the good work, mods/admins! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaiiscool:
I for one find it a lot easier to just come to this thread and aee if there is any update on ICS release date.

I am happy that I don't have to scour through the entire section just to find useless/duplicate information/threads.

Thanks mod team!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nameejokerx:
So far all the rom that come up at sammobile is for 2.3.6 for all the carrier..

Still no sign of any ICS leak.. Maybe samsung want to clear all the carrier to 2.3.6 before starting on ICS..

still waiting and will update if ICS coming..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guitarplayerone:
Well, we do have all of the leaked SGSII roms with touchwiz. I hardly see why the Note wouldn't have it (not that I wouldn't perfer Vanilla ICS or at least the ability to the get Vanilla look using TWlauncher.)

Am I alone in thinking that a lot of folks who hate on TW do so because of the 'theme' of it all? The launcher itself lags REALLY rarely on me, and I get great battery life, etc...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kromosto:
@guitarplayerone no you are not alone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fards:
This is purely conjecture, but hey so is everything else including the "news" based on one guys tweet..

Someone proven to be wrong before..

The Note is Samsungs current flagship device.

there's been some bad press about the ICS leaks for the SGSII

Samsung don't want bad press associated with the Note name as its being launched (stupidly imo) with the same branding in the US.

ergo we won't see any early leaks until the Note is properly out everywhere in the US.

again this is conjecture..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I have faith the DBT debitel will be the first to release :-)

They seem to be the fastest to release new updates so far...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tvachev:
http://twitter.com/#!/SamsungEE/status/179479418660589568

Basically says the Note ICS update will come in March as well .... (Google translation)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] innomi:
I just read this true my twitter acount:

#ICS for #GALAXYSII will be available today in Europe including Poland, Hungary, Sweden, & Korea, & gradually roll out to other markets.

The above tweet was posted at 2 am in netherlands time.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aditya_reds:
Freaking so happy, cant wait for ICS on NOTE :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damador:
according to Orange PL carrier - note ICS update should be also this week - seems that 15 march speculations should be true :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] innomi:
15? If i am not mistaken it is 13th today! Lol and i see that i can dl the update right now.

So im off for updating ;)

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damador:
yes toay is 13 - but previous "rel date leaks" says 15 march :) ans seeing SII update seems that rest will be updated by thursday/friday :)

hoping to get my note by this time :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] remixtech:
What your sources ? I don't think so...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] evil-doer:
he said the NOTE update this week. it is not out yet.

why are you even posting here if you have an sII?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
22/03 seems more likely if you ask me. Servers will have throw the update for s2 and bandwidth will all be for the note and angry birds new game for ICS NOTE release.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] UncleManuel:
Samsung should have had all ICS request anwered with "When it's done."... :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clairenix:
ICS with touchwiz. How disappointing. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
I see in all the videos that samsung it is still going with the partitions with 2gb one and 12gb the other instead one of 14gb

dissapointed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sejtam:
Does anyone know whether the ICS update will be available for non-carrier German versions? I am thinking of getting the Note off Amazon.de and would not like to be left behind...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eug:
If they repartitioned everything, I imagine everyone would have to wipe their phones clean for the repartition and upgrade. That won't go well with a lot of non-techy people, who are the vast majority.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
I don't know the reason, but not doing it or having an option in a clean install it is a disgrace and not following real ics rules about partitions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shanu_08:
Guys, I don't want to spoil it for you or anything but I think we might not get what we are waiting for!

Apart from the partition feature missing, even the look and feel of ICS will be missing. So, your phone after the ICS update will look exactly as it looks today (unless you install Nova launcher and customize it).

So while we will get speed updates, a slightly improved battery and ability to run Nova launcher (which is pretty cool, I admit), don't expect anything else really.

All I am saying is don't get your hopes up with the ICS update. Nothing major is going to change. Also, I'll like for folks to stay with Ginger Bread till they get a stable Samsung touchwiz or other stable ICS based ROMs(like Cyagenmod 9).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Imperium:
Not quite.. When the official ICS ROM hits the street, the dev's can create nice clean custom ROMS ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jutley:
you know what i think guys and girls i think we will get ICS on 22nd the same time as angry birds space and get a free demo on ICS aswell what you think?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sephi:
And that's nothing to look forward to? Besides we'll get various improvements on the software side, like a better browser or YouTube App. I'm also hoping for an better samsung email client. The current one is buggy and laggy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mikdamilla:
software update

Anyone else had a software update today. I had a 73.5 mb download that failed to install. is there any chance this is ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
No chance at all. ICS will be far bigger than meagre 70-odd Mbs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shanu_08:
Oh no no, you got me wrong. By all means let's look forward to it- it is a better version than Gingerbread, but let's have our expectations realistic. I've a feeling that lot of people will get disappointed when the update actually happens, and they feel let down. That's all. ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sephi:
Personally I hope they sort out the screen banding issue...that's really ugly in tons of apps like Whats App or the Music Hub.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] evil-doer:
apparently they did not update the touchwiz launcher at all from the ics base. ive asked people running the official ics build on the sgs2 about if it supports resizing of all widgets, like stock ics does.. nope. still only resizes samsung widgets.

way to go samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
You are absolutely wrong. I wrote a whole post about what I waiting from ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xeq544:
And you are in for a big disappointment then. The ICS from samsung will be exactly the same as the chinese leak minus the bugs and unstability. Nothing more.

However it will open up the possibility of CM9 which will be great, but will take few more months to be usable.

Thats why I dont get all the enthusiasm and impatience, the ics we will get will be basically what we have now with different core and kernel (mostly invisible changes)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
This is exactly what I waiting for. And nothing more!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gadget Girl G:
official ICS rom and nova launcher

When I want to install Nova launcher at this moment I need root and ICS rom.

When the official ICS comes out, do I still need root to install Nova launcher?

I've never routed any of my android devices (archos, HTC incredible S and now the Note), because I didn't needed it. Worked fine with launcher pro plus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Moandal:
I got ICS on my Asus Transformer a few weeks ago. It's really no big deal and doesn't change that much, so don't wish your life away waiting for ICS on the Note.

Besides GB + JKay is a powerful combination!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damador:
yes - nova require a root - and it dont depent on phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
http://twitter.com/#!/SamMobiles/status/180018573538893824
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaiiscool:
Root is required only if you want widgets in app drawer. Rest will work without root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] monkeydrufy:
I don't agree, ics for note is necessary because the hd display

thanks to the hardware acceleration the lag will disappear
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcreego:
The Transformer has an Hd display.

Before the update to ics my Tf was slow as hell and after the os upgrade it becomes super smooth and fast.

I also tried the officiale ics for Samsung Galaxy S II.

I have to say that it disappoint me a lot.

Ui lag, ****ty contact app and an overall feeling of incompleteness.

I really hope that ics for Note will be better because if not I will remain with Gb or go the CM way:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tnfn:
Large update, but no ICS

Just got a large update on my Note, but still 2.3.6. Probably means ICS is not close, would not make sense to launch an update like this just before ICS. Unlocked Note in Norway.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StNickZA:
I'm hoping for the same thing. Seems like a pretty good bet. Its hard to imagine that ICS on the Note isn't ready to go, and its purely a logistical delay we're dealing with.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prophet_in:
waiting and waiting hope indian users of note get he update at the same time as worldwide
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mcreego:
I really don't know what to think.

Today Samsung is releasing a lot of new 2.3.6 firmware branded and not branded for our Note....all the update are big in terms of MB...

I hope that with this update (I installed it and I barely see a difference from the previous one) Sammy will not delay Ics scheduled release date.:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Lakota:
I think it's more likely 22 March will see the launch of angry birds and the new S III and not ICS for the Note. Hoping not but given this weeks new 2.3.6 updates I can't see ICS arriving next week.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Corininha:
Pretty large update here too. I had my heart beat faster for few seconds. :eek: Thought will be the ICS.

Unlocked Note from Germany.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StNickZA:
Why would they release a new phone that would completely overshadow the Angry Birds Note launch?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qbix08:
Apparently ICS has been pushed back to Q2 now according to Samsung Norway Facebook page. We will just have to wait.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joyo22:

From Samsung Sweden Facebook

"Galaxy Note	2.3.6+	in march"

and

"Comments:

2.3.6 + is an enhanced version with eight upgrades in the user interface.

Earlier data on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 3.2 were sadly incorrect.

4.0 coming to Galaxy Note in Q2"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xeq544:
Badum tss... people should just quit the enthusiasm for the update. I knew it wouldnt be anytime soon. We are months away from official update and maybe a month away from usable leak.

At this moment we dont have any info about ICS 4.03 for galaxy note. It should come in the next 2 months.

Thanks for the link. I couldn't find it. I knew it is a CSC problem but that was not supposed to happen. I am on stock. :) I changed to DBT and I'll try again.

Speaking of ICS, I know is an ICS thread, but ICS is not out, and since 2 pages ago people started to speak about yesterday update. :) That's why I continued here instead of posting elsewhere.

EDIT:

Is not Note's fault. Is KIES for Mac's fault. In VMware Fusion and KIES for Windoze there's no error message. That means I can patiently wait for ICS. Hopefully won't be here at the very end of Q2...

Thanks a lot for the help though.

I read many posts in relation to the ics update. I called Samsung Ireland on friday last and they confirmed the update this monday well we will have to wait and see if the operators will roll it out now . I will keep you posted.

Just saw a video review of SGS2 and ICS. Are we not getting the new therem/interface as well?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
It is very unlikely. SGS2 only with touchwiz. But you can use Nova or Apex launcher to bring back ICS interface. You can also return ICS lockscreen. In new ICS Criskelo ROM for SGS2 he return a normal ICS lockscreen and use Apex launcher, so it is looks like real ICS.
