ICS.. delayed... I'm crying in my hands right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Guys, ICS coming from Samsung is nothing to get excited about.

To start with, it will include touchwiz. This means that all the graphic improvements ICS brings to the table will be missing. It will look identical to Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread (in fact, the ONLY graphical change was coloured icons in the settings). So, expect your phone to look identical.

Secondly, it will have LESS functionality than Gingerbread (less settings to change and tweak). This is coming straight from the settings.apk, compare them between Gingerbread and ICS and you'll see it right away.

Battery life is completely subjective. Their are basically two things that would make your battery life different from mine, ONE of which is out of our control. The first being what apps you have installed (and you could even say which rom you have installed). If everything was completely stock with NOTHING additional installed it still cant be compared because your battery life is different depending on usage. When upgrading, you will always have the best results regarding battery life if you do a factory reset after the upgrade, so if you are running ICS and didnt do a factory reset after you upgraded and are experiencing poor battery life, well, Im telling you what you need to do here, do a factory reset already.

It isnt all that folks. Im more waiting for the enhanced software package that Samsung is putting together for the note (its supposed to be a bunch more software that utilizes the stylus). The one thing I give Samsung props is that they dont include software that has hidden charges / fees, all of their software does bring value to the phone. Its ATT that sells out all of the crapware that charges money and is completely useless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Thats one way to grossly over simplify it. Atleast it was worth a good laugh, and for that I thank you (but not with the button of course)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] OkNewMedia:
As far as i can tell, ICS will not bring much, if anything, to the Note that isn'e already available with a Gbread Rom like Saurom. I am MUCH more interested in the UNOFFICIAL ICS updates, like CM9, or some other optimized version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
What many people fail to understand is that the faster ICS progresses through its official channels the sooner we will see custom ROMs. I have absolutely zero interest in running the OEM version, but still want samsung to hurry up because the faster it is worked on the sooner we get workable code leaked for our amazing dev community to start playing with. If they keep pushing it back it means they arnt likely getting anywhere with it, which means neither will the devs. We will have ICS ROMs way before its pushed OTA, but we still need the guys up at samsung to make their own progress as it is out best chances of getting a workable rom sometime before JB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] OkNewMedia:
NFC is already usable in the SAUROM ROM. Just Sayin'!:)

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

I fully understand that development won't happen until official release. However, as I initially stated, most of these improvements are already included in the SAUROM Rom, especially if you use Go Launcher, and OC the processor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
No, I really don't think I was being all that rude, just joking around a little bit but I can give it a try so you will recognise the differences in the future. For someone so easily offended, you should probably try not to talk down to people so quickly because that will be the knee jerk reaction. Apparently while my mom was forgetting the nice lesson your mother forgot the "dont take yourself so seriously" lesson. Believe it or not, you arn't the only person here that has had ICS, other android device, and probably other of what you said because lets be honest here, I stopped reading that last post once I realized that you thought you were the only person around that knows the difference between ROMs. If I thought I had something to learn I'd read more, but coming from someone who thinks several iterations of ROMs all look the same, I don't think I could have taken much of it serious anyways.

I appologize for making that sound like I was countering what you had to say, I mearly meant to piggy back off the statement about awaiting the home brew versions, but just got lazy with the quotes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carhigh:
Does anyone ever think, why would they bother when they are selling like hot cakes. Ics is gonna sell more? Naaa don't think it matters to them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Yea I really think it would boost sales of this device. I mean look at us all here bickering back and forth over this silly issue, many of us pointlessly arguing when we don't even disagree on the core issue (yes im pointing the finger at myself). But right now almost no one has ICS so being able to say "this is one of 3 phones out that has the newest OS" would be a big selling point. Granted this is just my opinion, but I think it would add to the cool factor, which is what this phone is all about.

Bad news........

Bad news, I was thinking that the ICS for my samsung galaxy note AT&T would be available by the end of march.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

This sounds crazy!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kbilly70:
It seems the majority of the discussion here is on the look of ICS but for me the main reason I want it is for the speed. My understanding is ICS is optimized for dual core phones and that's what I'm looking forward to. I've ran a couple of the leaked versions and they make the Note so fast and smooth its pretty shocking. Too bad they are too buggy as a daily driver but that's another story.

The look can easily be changed, but no matter how much devs cook GB, ICS should be faster and smoother.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Lol if you were believing the hype, everyone was Wrong and the whole March thing was sapose to be for the international version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bbgt2:
Screw ICS. Where is my Key Lime Pie. Yes willing to skip Jelly Bean. LMAO.

U guys crack me up about not getting ICS with ATT, what did u expect? Thank the Gods (Developers) we have custom ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
For those of you who think ICS wouldn't bring much too the table, you're nuts.

Hardware acceleration(!), ICS app compatibility (ie. Chrome), improved multitasking, improved widget management, improved battery life (in most cases), improved tablet mode, and perhaps most importantly: updated Note-specific drivers and code that can be more quickly ported to other ICS roms! *cough* CM9 *cough*

As a "phablet," this device is begging for ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erad1:
hey...I like pie!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
We'dev just jokingly suggesting that an apple device will see ICS before our note since we keep hearing different things about releases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
No real surprise...if this is in fact true. ICS will be something like a 'sigh of relief'...considering it didn't feel like there was much change on eclair vs gingerbread.

For the time being, with no ICS still on the Note...plus no price drop...makes it still a rather big rip-off. But that really only applies to people who still have a halfway decent phone that works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Razr maxx has been out the same amount of time if not longer and is still $299. The trend seems to be the top of the line will be this price until the next greatest cones along.

Oh and I don't feel ripped off about anything with my purchase of the note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MSigler:
Exactly. The only people saying it's not a big deal are they ones that haven't owned an ICS device. It really is that much better. This is a flagship phone, and one that's supposed to split the difference between phone and tablet, the fact that it didn't launch with ICS was insane, the fact that it STILL doesn't have ICS is a travesty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] powdered_donuts:
My little old vibrant got some ics love a while back and the battery life is better than ever
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
I have a Captivate with ICS CM9 running on it.

The fact is, Samsung has a track record and guess what, they havent changed. By the time ICS is available, Jellybean will be a month away from release.

Alot of claims have been made about ICS and what 'I' am saying is that with all the crap Samsung throws on top, it isnt going to be all that.

Having come from (on a Captivate) official Eclair, official Froyo, to official Gingerbread, Im speaking from experience.

The only real noticeable difference between these was between Eclair to Froyo which improved the speed of the phone (improved java engine) and much faster media scanning.

So, if you want to claim I have no idea what Im talking about, fine. But I am speaking from experience.

If you want to talk about an official 'leak' of ICS paving the road for custom roms, well, again, I point you to Cyanogen. As soon as CM is willing to pick this device up and develop for it, we will see some pretty nice roms. ICS NEVER was available for the Captivate (officially or leaked) yet the CM team was somehow able to release ICS for the Cappy.

Oh, and as far as hardware acceleration being exclusive to ICS, this depends on what you mean. Unfortunately, this is a term often times misused and something that actually was claimed by Google when Froyo came out (in other words, Froyo brought 'hardware acceleration').

Anyway, Im not going to argue, debate, or have a pissing match about this. ICS is nice, but with all the crap that Samsung will do to the firmware, it isnt going to be much different than what we already have.

My only point here is, dont get your hopes up. It will be nice if this phone sees ICS in a timely fashion, just dont expect it to come out in a timely fashion AND when it does, dont expect anything special.

Regarding GB and ICS compared to custom roms, thats a completely different story.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
You're wrong about the differences between ICS and GB not being dramatic, regardless of launcher; but, sadly, you're absolutely correct when it comes to Samsung's horrible track record.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mintu123:
why u guys always going on about samsung being slow on updates.ics is really not that big of deal.google need to slow down with this **** releasing new snack every year.they need to atleast wait two years for upgraded os and take the time to release bug free.soon they gone run out of name of deserts and start naming like harshey cookies and cream.when u guys buy a pc do they offer free upgrade to next os?

galaxy note is best device right now and i dont think htc moto or lg can even come close.them company dont even have balls to try something different like samsung did.

since apple came out with iphone.have u seen any major changes?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
you guys should check out ics for the GS2. Samsung took nearly all the features and the entire ics theme out of the update. its and upgrade to ics in name only. the gs2 guys users are all pissed.

we may get something more but I doubt it. it will probably be the same crappy upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Futuredev.tjb:
It's really not that big of a surprise because after having many android devices I've learned Android's Law which states that no device should be expected to get timely updates or a update at all. Even without ICS the Note is still a great device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Yep, that is exactly my point. It didnt look any different because Samsung and their touchwiz stuff REMOVED all of the appearance changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
To be honest, If my Note GB performs as smooth as my ATT S2, I'll give a sh*t to ICS. Too bad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fresh801:
I was hoping that the ICS would fix the color renddering issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
That's a huge issue for me as well, and ICS is really our only hope to ever see it addressed... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fresh801:
I guess we can just wait and hope on some improvements
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MSigler:
I completely agree as far as Samsung not delivering updates in a timely fashion.

My point is that CM9 will never be available for this device until they have a basis to build on. Your Captivate got CM9 because it shares almost every last component with the Nexus S, which DID get an official ICS build. And CM9 didn't come out for either until well after the official ICS source was released.

The reason CM is so good is that it's built from source. No rom for the device, no source. No source, no CM.

In short, until they give us an ICS rom of some kind, no dev is going to be able to make an ICS rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] qnet:
ICS is nice. I read somewhere (it may have been here) that when they release it, you will have a choice at startup between stock ISC or touchwiz. I'm not holding my breath but, that would be awesome.

Stock ICS on the Gnote would be the ultimate phone for me. Some of you who don't believe ICS is a big deal need to spend some time with the Gnex. At first it doen't seem like a big deal until you go back to a older version of Android.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Gnote. With my custom launcher I have duplicated some things I like about ICS. However, were you will notice the difference is the way ICS is seamless throughout and, the gestures that make it simpler navigating through the OS. I still find myself trying to swipe away notifications or swipe to the next screen in the dialer, forgetting I'm on Gingerbread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
lol why are people complaining about Samsung updates? Where are the other manufacturers at with releasing ICS upgrades? I didn't buy the Note because I thought that ICS would be on it soon, I bought it for the big awesome screen. People that think ICS will solve all their problems are gonna be in for a rude awakening. Its nice but not some miracle OS.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] llcooljayce:
Hey guys .... I'm new to the GNex and kernels. I tried to flash my phone to the franco.Kernel-r97.zip and I must have screwed something up because I am now stuck at the Google boot screen. My guess is that I installed an incompatible kernel and I'm freaking out.

Can someone help me to get out of this hell?

I was previously on ICS 4.0.1 if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noel_leon:
First of all, franco.kernel says clearly that it is only for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.

Second of all, look for a kernel that is for 4.0.1 in the dev area then reboot into CWM (power and volume up AND down at the same time). Clear dalvik cache, push new compatible kernel, flash it and then you reboot.

Here is a link to the kernel section of the info thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neoxyrel:
You can flash a custom 4.0.3 rom like AOKP Milestone and the franco kernel. But before flashing the new rom, do a wipe (factory/setting, dalvik). This is the only way out of the mess you made on your phone.

cheers....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noel_leon:
How is that the only way? Is his recovery ruined because of a kernel? I don't think so. If booting into recovery is possible, a compatible kernel is all that should be needed. No need to wipe and flash a new rom just yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bryannh:
im on axiom 4.0.3 ICS rom right now, love it. only thing i miss from my nexus is the black sms apk, can i use any old apk from the nexus or does someone need to make a new one for the razr?

love the black themed apps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Razrx:
Have you searched around for any black oriented themes for go sms pro? That may help you with what your looking for.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Narc0lept1cN1nja:
Use Hancent, best messaging app I've ever used. The theme is so customizable, that you'll probably be able to duplicate your Nexus' style.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff120192:
this can eaily be solved by handcent or go sms
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dcdttu:
I'd kill for the stock SMS app, black option, with Emoji and iPhone-style group MMS.

Dream, I know.

Problem with Handcent, for me, is it's kinda bloated and slow and ugly to be honest. They really need to streamline it and make it line up with the simple look of ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] r4zrm4xxx:
I would definitely give go sms a shot because once you set it up the way you want it as far as colors and themes it's simply an incredible third party text messaging application
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nozzleman_85:

[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
I've seen this come up very often in my thread and many others, so here is a separate reference thread for all the ICS kernels we have so far. Also I hope users will be able to support each other here, as I will only maintain this thread to add new kernels and will not provide full time support.

What is a kernel?

It is like the brain of your device. It's the most important thing that makes it run, and is like the bridge between android and the hardware on your phone.

​

For ICS, file-wise you need two important things:

boot.img - contains the kernel and the ramdisk. This needs to be flashed by either recovery, fastboot, or through other methods.

bcm4329.ko - wireless module, often used for WiFi and Bluetooth. This needs to be copied to your android phone as /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

Each kernel is built differently, although there may be similarities between them.

As of March 2012, here are the following kernels for ICS / ICS AOSP:

Virtuous Quattro ICS AOSP Kernel

Where to get Virtuous Quattro ICS kernel?

- You can get it from Virtuous Quattro ICS for Incredible S - Link here

- Search and check in the Virtuous Quattro ICS thread - Link here

Virtuous Affinity ICS AOSP/Sense Kernel

Where to get Virtuous Affinity ICS kernel?

- You can get it from Virtuous Affinity ICS for Incredible S - Link here

- Search and check in the Virtuous Affinity (ICS, not GB) thread - Link here

CyanogenMod9 ICS AOSP Kernel (CM9)

Where to get CM9 kernel?

- You can obtain it from CM9 kangs for Incredible S

- You can get it in Ice Cold Sandwich 2.0+ for Incredible S, it is default included in the rom.

- Prebuilt on github (partial boot.img: kernel image only, does not contain ramdisk) - Link here

Tiamat Unified ICS AOSP Kernel

Where to get Tiamat ICS kernel?

- You can download a recovery zip of it from http://tiamat-dev.com/vivo (for S-OFF users)

- S-ON: Search and check in the Ice Cold Sandwich thread - Link here

x-ICS AOSP Kernel (CM + patches)

Where to get x-ICS kernel?

- Read in this thread:

revision 1: post #5

revision 3: post #10
[HTC Incredible S] Juventus1897:

[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
You are very active in Incredible S Development thread to be honest,

glad to have you here =), thanks a lot ..
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Added my AOSP ICS kernel, can be used with any AOSP ICS roms for IncS

S-OFF: Flash in recovery

S-ON: fastboot flash or other method. You also need to push bcm4329.ko to /system/lib/modules/ in your rom.
[HTC Incredible S] st.matt:
Would you be able to put your kernel source on Github please (or a link if you have already), it's a requirement under the GPL for it to be available.
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Hey st.matt! Sorry about that one. I am new to kernel development, I completely forgot about the GPL requirements. Everything is done by local changes of what is already on the git campgrounds, I will try to get a repository up with all my changes as soon as I can.

Edit: Got the repo up!
[HTC Incredible S] interaser:

Actually I'm using your 2.6.35.14-x-ICS-g753789f kaijura@ x #2 -> Excellent performance & battery life!
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Whoops, forgot about this thread and to update it with revision 3 kernel for mine. Thanks for reminder, thuanngotau. I checked and I think the other kernels have still been the same versions.

Last built on: March 27, 2012 (2.6.35.14 base)

Useable with Unofficial AOSP ICS and Gingerbread AOSP ROMs - Confirmed working with CyanogenMod 7.x

Changes from revision 2:

- Added SVS support, can now use apps like IncrediControl to adjust voltage

- Added InteractiveX governer

- Redid CPUFREQ values

It's been pretty stable for now, don't see things needed to be added so not updating it until necessary.

itandy made a Force AC version of my v3 kernel, you can get it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1686995

What changes means when connected by USB to computer you can get maximum charge.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvin.durant:
I've been waiting for ICS for a while now and sinced it is released last march 13 I've heard so many bad feedbacks and bugs from stock LPQ and not even worth of flashing.

After several days many COOKED LPQ roms are out. Can anyone tell me whats the most Stable, bugfree or LESS bug LPQ COOKED ROM out there?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerTeufel:
I don't know if it is THE most stable ROM, since i only tested two so far, but i really like the DarkyROM based on LPQ.

Very stable ROM, only issue i noticed so far is that Chrome is not working (have to deinstall the system app and then install over Market, works until reboot).
