So which file contains permanent CWM - where I can get it ?

Does the backup and restore functions work properly ?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
OR you can use the attached files:

Extract "ICS root.zip" you'll get a folder with 2 files CWM.zip and Root.zip.

Copy the folder and the "p6200_CWMR_20111214.zip" file to your sdcard.

boot to recovery (power + volume up, release power on boot logo)

goto the ics folder and flash CWM. you'll then reboot to the temporary touch recovery.

Flash root.zip in the ICS root folder.

Flash the "p6200_CWMR_20111214.zip"

reboot.

install superuser and busybox (BIN not XBIN!!!).

Done.

Did you guys find screen a lot less sharp? Wonder why? :-\
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] robyr:
No?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Haesslich:
If anything, I found the fonts smaller, but easier yo read due to tg Roboto proportions.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chen2008:
Have you checked out Google's Current? It definitely looks like blurred out..BTW, the font doesn't say Roboto in my machine, it just says 'Default' but does look like Roboto because I have TF101 as well..

I successfully updated my US version 6210 to the UK ICS firmware yesterday and love the smoothness of ICS. The ability to add icons to folders is also nice.

One problems I ran into that I was wondering if anyone else was having. Under Settings > Security > Find my Mobile when I check the box to enable Remote controls, it brings up a prompt saying in progress twice and then unchecks the box. If I go to SamsungDive I am unable to locate my device. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] nrage23:
It does
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vobguy:
I find I am not liking the way it took out my shortcuts on my home screen, and also I am not especially happy with the limited area I can put icons on compared to where I could put them in the past.

I thought my VPN was still not working, but as I suspected it might be, it was a misconfiguration that I have since fixed. So I am happy with it supporting this natively now!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
Yeah, native vpn is one of the most sought after features of ICS.

Is VPN working for both wifi and 3G for you. I had some issues on my other phone when it came to wifi. I'm still doing some tests on my tab so i haven't fuly configured it for work related stuff.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vobguy:
I have the P6210, no 3g :(

But it did work for me over WiFi, and it also worked when I used WiFi to tether to a 3G phone (not the same thing, I know, but closest I was able to try)

I was able to use a VNC session to get to several of my GNOME workspaces (which made me want a mouse and maybe a keyboard at some point) and connect to internal websites.

It seemed smoother than when I had established a VNC session from inside the firewall at work, actually, despite my much lower bandwidth at home.

I had to bump the stock 1275mV to 1300mV to make it fully stable.

The auto brightness doesn't work so well. It dims way too easily then never brightens back up. I think HC was the same way but I honestly don't recall now. Manually setting it at 25% seems to be good though. Otherwise ICS is quite awesome. Much more responsive and I can finally use Chrome. Yay.

i havent spent much time with chrome yet. still installing apps and getting things the way i like. i did just try some brief web surfing and it does seem to be a little laggy at times like you say and not as smooth as i expected. pages with lots of outside content loading are a bit slow to load as well. sammy's built in browser, whatever it is, seems to work a bit better actually, in terms of smoothness and such. maybe a future chrome update will fix things up.

For some reason, it seems like my battery is going faster.

Now, a good part of that is probably is probably because I am using the tablet a lot more; both to do things like root, install programs, do backups, etc; as well as because its a lot more fun to use now.

But, this AM, wifi not even on, it used 2 % power before I had even turned on the screen about 5 minutes after unplugging. Perhaps I had some background apps hogging more power now, I will have to check.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Graffiti Exploit:
I get 1% off from the battery on a 5+ hour standby. Also 1% from an hour's worth of music.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] HoggerJeff:
Same problem here, almost... wifi keeps losing connection. Once it's lost, the only way to get it back is to cycle the wifi off and on. It's driving me nuts and might be a deal breaker. If I can't get it going, I'll have to flash back to stock NA HC and wait for the official update for the North American P6210.

1% on 5+ hour standby? Perhaps without data connection enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
Try CM9. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
Happened to me too with airplane mode enabled. Also, i have experienced a 3% drop overnight, around 7 hours, with wifi(always on setting) and Bluetooth on, screen off.

Battery-wise, ICS is a bit more efficient than HC, IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
Currently testing CM9 and of course doing comparisons with ICS.

One of the things I really didn't like with the samsung tab stock firmware is the inability to charge on USB with the tab on. I thought that with ICS this would at least be possible but no joy on that,

CM9 has this feature. :D

I'll continue doing the tests and comparisons between the two since CM9 for the Tab+ really took off yesterday when the issue of Bluetooth and wifi functions got fixed.:cool: (kudos to aorth's efforts)

So, we can be more objective, now that we have a point of comparison. Samsung ICS, like it or hate it...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Justinhopaolo:
please give us your findings asap. as i am downloading the official ICS now, im currently on cm9 and have no problems with it.

Factory reset. Clear caches. Solves all my issues across all my devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
Hello everyone. I've done additional testing of ICS and CM9 by spending a few days using the tablet like I normally would.

What can I say...

Stability. I've got force closes and kernel panics on ICS while playing games and watching videos. On CM9... 0.:D

Size. It's to be expected that the official ICS would be bloated. Every CWM backup I made was 1GB+.

Touchwiz versus Vanilla Trebuchet... it's a matter of preference but, guess which I like more;)

The keyboard. It's probably because I've been using the stock Android keyboard for a long time that I could place my finger on a letter without looking. So, I like the CM9 KB better. :rolleyes:

Truth is the only thing I'm waiting for is the Bluetooth audio fix for CM9 and I'll most likely delete my ICS backups.

It's not that I hate Samsung ICS efforts but I find that its just to rich for my tastes and the nuts just keep getting stuck in my teeth. Sometimes, a plain vanilla ice cream sandwich is just better.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] syamxp:
Hi...after update to official ics or aorth cm9 , my device suffer some annoying audio problem.. Right audio seem to be louder than left and hissing when volume is turn up... Same with speaker and headphone... But when flash with honeycomb the audio problem gone..

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] maelfilk:
Anyone facing battery draining on 4.0.4 P6200? I fully charged tablet and after 10 hours (it was just turned on, 2 hours with wi-fi, 8 hours with 3g) it drained more than 50%. I disabled synchronization, but it didn't change anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Justinhopaolo:
been experiencing the drain as well, before i can go the whole day with medium use and ill still get 70+ percent.

and the screen on time is 4 hours or more, with wifi on.

now, it can only go 3 hours screen on. and less stand by time..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] melcali:
i flashed to the cm9 build a day after using the official tw ics update. although performance is a lot better than honeycomb, all the little things here and there like those weird lines in the notification trays clock when expanded is just ugly and vomit provoking. besides the ugly factor, the performance was not quite there yet. still a lil bit of hiccups with the tw ics for me. cm9 is just a better version of ics to have imo
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Justinhopaolo:
Only thing keeping me from using cm9 is the browser responsiveness of the official ics and the shortcut,overlay quick apps :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] maelfilk:
This night my tab went from 50% to 0% in 2 hours while i was sleeping, it showed that process Android OS took about 50% of battery. So now i did complete reset and will see what will happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Justinhopaolo:
Try calibrating with battery calibration from market :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] melcali:
i never used the stock browser in both honeycomb and ics they kept shutting down all of the sudden. i tried using chrome on TW ICS but it was really laggy for me. its pretty smooth on cm9. the stock browser that comes with cm9 is pretty smooth too.

i sorta miss the mini app tray but out of all of the mini apps i only used the calculator and calendar ones. i downloaded the floating calculator from the play store instead
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] valkyrie-randgris:
ICS Battery life is beast! 2d 17h @ 17% batt life (no 3g, wifi on during the night, often music & gaming, always txting). Never had this experience before in HC. Though I noticed back in HC battery was mostly consumed by android system, so I think that's off. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] choridroid:
Successfully installed ICS on my 6210 last night (with the help of an xda good samaritan). Initial impressions?

I'm sadly underwhelmed. The best new feature is Chrome. But Chrome is sluggish on my device and crashes every time I open settings. Overall I find ICS slower and buggier in a not-ready-for-prime-time way. Many apps just feel off. The aesthetics of ICS, or at least Sammy's version of it, also seem less sleek than ginger bread.

I don't regret the upgrade - it's not that bad and it wasn't much effort. But I'm not sure it qualifies as an improvement over 3.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] playah_balla:
dude.. almost all of us are happy and felt that our tabs became faster and smoother (buttery)

the only problem i always see is the browser chrome crashing but most of us don't use it anyways.

me i use the stock browser and the beta version of dolphin browser (dolphin engine).

i guess there's always an isolated case.

maybe.. just maybe.. you should try the "OTA" upgrade
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] choridroid:
stutter not butter

I'm curious whether my case is in fact isolated. I've checked just about everything on and off the internet to see if I somehow botched the installation. So far it all looks fine - on paper at least. If anyone has had a similar result and determined its cause and solution I'd like to hear about it. I really want to become an ICS lover.

"Buttery" is the word everyone keeps using to describe ICS. Yet "stuttery" is more true to my experience. For example, I'm writing this post right now with swiftkey through opera (because Chrome is worse than stuttery). Swiftkey just seems slow and slightly off, like there's a split second delay. I notice it because it's obviuosly different from gingerbread. Same thing with Opera itself: it no longer scrolls smoothly, but rather jumps in subtle fits and starts. It stutters.

Probably the worst new "feature," besides the dysfunction of Chrome, is that Google maps now renders at a snail's pace. It's consistent with the general system slowdown under ICS, but feels especially frustrating given how perfect maps worked with Gingerbread.

I suspect you need to start over from scratch. This experience does not mimic mine or 90% of other users.

Agreed. Updated SWMBOs Tab+ and (ignoring the Chrome issue) it is much quicker. Clear improvement in her games (Where's my water et al)

chrome on the official ICS sucks. dont know why. but on cm9 its very smooth. total opposite.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
Why use Chrome? For an app made by google for android, It's rather buggy. I use the stock browser, which works way better, IMO, compared to Chrome and most third party browsers. it has the "favorites" sync to pc Chrome and it plays embedded videos (I.e. YouTube) smoothly.

Edit: BTW, be sure to install Adobe Flashplayer from Google Play. Solves a lot of FC issues. JM2C. ;)

i always thought that the stock browser that came with our ICS was chrome because there's an Incognito Mode. Is it?

btw, i also use the stock browser in ICS. the stock browser used to suck in HC..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
Got confused by that one too, but then there's a Chrome by "Top Developer" Google in the Play Store which only works with "android 4.0 and up" (go figure:eek:).

Check this out >>> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome&feature=search_result

All in all, the stock browser in ICS does work like Chrome but is not Chrome. Anyway, as long as it works, i might even call it Silver. :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aperture:
Yup, immediately downloaded chrome after upgrading to ICS. I was hoping its a better browser than stock. After few hours using it, I ended up uninstalling it. I sticked with the stock browser since it better imho.:)

I love the blue'ish style of the notifications bar.

Speaking of the notifications bar, I was going to complain about the notification bar missing the 'X' to remove individual notifications, but I found out that the 'X' was so Honeycomb. I read that in ICS I could just swipe individual notifications away.

I need more tips like this since I would have never noticed it on my own.

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

I just noticed something else in ICS that seems confusing to me. It looks like the Calendar app is Samsung baked, but in it there is a section for 'Task', and in this 'Task' Menu it has a 'Sync' option. Well, my Google Tasks do not 'sync' with this Task stuff, and I have no idea where it would be syncing to if it even syncs.

Anyone have the 4-1-1 on this Calendar new 'Task' feature in the Calendar app?

Is it just me or did anyone else lose the ability to search the local device (google search)? I never get apps, contacts, music, or anything below the suggestions like I used to before the upgrade. Searchable Items isn't even listed in the settings anymore. If it's only me I'll do a factory reset to see if it fixes it but if it's just part of the build then I won't bother and I'll keep searching for another solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rgreger:
That's how I did it too, worked fine. The only issue is with my apps, some now won't download, "not compatiable with ICS". Even tho they worked after the update but not after being reset. Can't figure that one out. Oh, well at least the battery is so much batter.
