[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Rone1986:
I just mean to say people who are upset that they aren't getting FW upgrades, who want the latest and the greatest should try another route. Especially considering Sammy's upgrade history. 1 major FW upgrade per HW release.

Logically, people happy using their phone as a phone don't really need anything but ICS, so why complain?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GooG2e:
It's strange that we won't receive JB. As I remember Google says to manufactures to upgrade devices for MINIMUM 18 months or Google takes license back.

May be we receive update)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Livebyte:
That explains why there is no successor to Galaxy Tab 7.7

Nobody likes this tablet.

Everybody rushes for its younger cheaper brother.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
Because

we paid for a premium device. There is no reason at all it should not get JB. It has almost the same specs as the GS2

No it was never promoted. It was very popular here in Australia.

Tab 2 has not sold well. Crappy screen. I wish there was a Nexus tablet with AMOLED and 32gb.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] O26Keypunch:
And an external micro sd card slot.....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
Or at least 32gb space.

It's just frustrating. This tablet is what the Nexus 7 should be. Pure stock. With the lead GS3 developer giving up I doubt we will see much more development. At least ICS is smooth and works well.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] melorib:
Tried all AOSP CM10 based ROMs, interface sucks, back to LQ2 with GO EX launcher, it is faster, smoother and nicer looking :good:

I can live with it very well, no problems so far :cool:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] chefdave12118:
I'd be happy with ICS for now. I have the i815... I've gone the dumb phone/4G tab route. I'm embarrassed at times showing people my 7.7 with major lag because honeycomb blows goats. I love this tab but it really needs ICS (at least) to speed it up a bit. And I can't go the cm9/10 route because I NEED the 4g.

Has anyone with an i815 found an ICS or JB ROM that has 4g working?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] alunx:
Yes, I agree.

Because this tab 7.7 was get First ics official than tab 7+, 8.9 or 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jonasklam:
I live in europe and have the 6800 tab 7.7, can i updare to ics? Cus this honeycomb is getting old real fast atm.

I just sold my Galaxy Nexus and planning to buy tab 7.7, though no JB is what makes me reconsider.

or maybe Samsung is trying to sureprise us by giving Key Lime instead of JB?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] friedje:
Ask yourself, what would JB bring to the tab that you cannot do with ICS on a daily basis.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FlyerOne:
Exactly!

Although I wouldn't knock JB back. I'd think if the S2 gets JB, surely our 7.7's would get it? Isn't it just an oversized S2 anyway, hardware wise?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] friedje:
Actually it is an oversized Galaxy Note, without the wacom digitizer, hardware wise.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hyruk:
The way forward for my 7.7

Hi everybody, i am a proud noob and this is my first post on xdadevelopers. so, greetings! I want to share my decision with you all as to what I will be doing with my tab in the coming days. after reading this and many threads here and on other sites, I decided that the Paranoid Android JB rom is the one for me. I agree that if you are already on ICS, the gains from moving to JB are not all that much, so if it aint broke, why fix it. i would have been happy with less headaches and things to do as a non techie just settling for samsun ICS date and it will be a great great leap over stock HC. but in my case i am still on stock HC in UAE which is not included in ICS update countries, so if i have to do manual installations anyway, it makes more sense for me to go straight to JB which has the snappier UI thanks to project butter. this will change my world! i feel that at this moment from what is being said in the developers forum that Paranoid Android is ready and stable enough. sure it may have issues with 4g or hdmi that come from its cm10 base but i can do without these. all I am waiting for is its developer to upload a minor fixed version tonight e.g. 2.51, update the instructions (still 2.23)s, and im going ahead. i want to thank its developer and all the developers whose work got us here. we now have new life for our 7.7s.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] melorib:
I tried a few JB AOSP ROMs, but didnt like the interface, they dont suit well the landscape mode that I like to use my PAD :rolleyes:

ICS is almost as fast, but the landscape mode looks much better, doesnt waste a lot of screen with status bar on top and bottom :cool:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hadouken007:
damn no jelly bean i paid damn good money fa this tab ,i wants my jelly bean.

Galaxy tab 7.7 GT p6800 here bought mine a few months ago lovin it but I also Love updates, I'm on ICS stock , but I Love having the new hottness.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] someth1ng:
It's pretty disappointed but I guess we just have to live with it - you can't get everything. Even then, there's JB roms out and they're pretty good - much smoother than the ICS that we had before.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
If the Exynos sources are what the developer's want when released we should have no issues seeing a fully functional CM10.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sos_sifou:

Galaxy note just has jelly bean update, which means as i hope they could figure out how butter smooth working. as galaxy note has the same chipset as galaxy 7.7

Just use Jellybean custom ROM like Paranoid Android. I just flashes it yesterday from stock ICS.

Petition?

Can we do something more like sign a petition or something?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mocket:
This tablet was my worst purchase ever. All the Samsung ROM's are laggy, I'm currently using CM10. The only good thing about this tablet is the build quality and the screen. Thinking of selling it to get a nexus 7 or 10 (when it comes out)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
Not my ICS P6810 ROM ! I could build a laggy one if you like ;) Just got to give the ROM to "bed in". ;)

Fortunately I don't have the time to invest in a laggy ROM for P6800 users :)

UNfortunately I have very little time at home.....

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] golfinggino:
i am not sure if i have posted in this thread or not, but i really dont care if is a jb release or not, i am currently running paranoidandroid 4.1.2. which i am sure will be better then any samsung release, we just need a few kernel guys to come on board with this tablet and it will be even faster, even if they dont it is still the best tablet i own, and that is a big statement as i own 3 nexus 7, a galaxy note, an asus infinity, and an asus prime and a few others, no other tablet has these specs and can also do all calling functions !!!! i have not had my sim card in my note for at least 5 months and i dont see any reason to put it in, the 7.7 has a better screen, better battery and will be as fast when we get some custom kernels
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wintermute000:
a.) Just need wifi sleep dropouts fixed for p6800 then AOSP JB and beyond roms will be fine. Sorry poor i815 owners!

b.) Nexus 7 = no 3G/4G, no expandable storage, much chunkier, and I hate to say it but Apple is right with the mini - 7.9 (or 7.7 in our case) is noticeably different to 7. IMO this tablet is the perfect sweet spot in terms of form factor. The weight, build and awesome screen also blow N7 away.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] golfinggino:
i really dont care about 3g/4g as a have a mobile hot spot with me at all times, expandable storage is also non issue - i dont know about the resolution of the ipad mini until i see it with my own eyes but i highly doubt it will blow away the n7, the n7 is one if not the fastest tablets you can buy today - i dont care what operating system you are comparing it to but the n7 will beat an ipad 3 in every task and i am sure it i think it also will do the same to the ipad 4, i dont want to make this into and android vs ipad thread - but you cannot compare the ipad mini to the nexus 7 it is not a comparison, and just for the record i will be buying an ipad mini as well as soon as it is available retail as i like to own / compare all the current devices !!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sna1970:
check Toshiba

Toshiba made a 7.7 AMOLED tablet

check the Excite 7.7

and it has Android 4.0 out of the box (upgradable to 4.1)

and it is ALOT faster than the Smasung 7.7 uses Tegra 3 Quad Core , and has better 5mp camera as well and 2mp front camera
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] songmeesay:
The Toshiba has a locked bootloader w/ a non existent dev support though; so if you care about rooting and whatnot you're pretty much sol.

And can it make and receive phone calls, send and receive txt, mms here in the USA?? Can I pop my AT&T or T-Mobile sim card in it a make a call and send a txt and browse the web while away from wi-fi all at the same time??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hammer of thor:
toshiba excite has a bad camera(worst than our 3.2 megapixel camera) and lesser battery and the screen is not as good as ours even though it has amoled... and no 3g too... i love my tab 7.7 simply because it is the best in this form factor(nothing has a better screen yet and that is what i want the most)... if samsung can upgrade properly with a 4.2 jellybean/ 1200p screen amoled+/s-pen/same battery size and other features and build quality... would be perfect...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
Toshiba Excite 7.7 has no dev support. I want a working tablet with FULL CM support. I'll see what the Nexus 10 is like. It could be a decent replacement. Depending on weight. Also debating getting a Nexus 7. I just like pure Google. The Samsung source code issues have not helped out Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] friedje:
There are rumours about the N5100, a 7+ inch Note.

But for now there are not many details available
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hammer of thor:
yes there is a rumor and it looks good other than the screen resolution.... and i think it will also not feature the new a15 monster cores...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] friedje:
The screen resolution is the same we have now, so it would still be the best 7+ inch in the market. Rumours do state a dual core A15 and 2Gb of Ram for now.

Count in the Wacom digitizer with Spen and hopefully a beautiful screen....

Really, nobody needs a 99999999x77777 resolution on a 7 inch screen:p
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hammer of thor:
196 ppi is no good anymore... they tried to put a 1080p screen on the note2 but it was too hard on the battery so they went with the 720p version... but with the bigger battery of a tablet we should be able to get that... the world is going retina... samsung should too... their note 10.1 has an absurd display for such a powerful device...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] friedje:
As you like. I'm 45 years old and my eyes don't see a difference between 196 PPI or 99999 PPI. (on a 7 inch screen)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
Seem to be getting a little off topic guys / gals.....

Thread is about JB release for our tab.....

ICS is way smooth for me on my ROM, but always nice to tinker with something new.

ICS was a huge step above HC, so I can't wait for any future JB or whatever is released by then :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] famaTV:
Hello guys,

how about the international version of 7.7, when is the rom expected to be released?

thank you
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] eranm1:
Well, the 7.7 wasn't explicitly mentioned as *not* getting JB, but I don't know of any source that mentioned it will...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] famaTV:
Thank you.

I guess we have to wait then.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ceejiem:
Still no ics ota update for gt-p6800 in the netherlands :( Anyone has

'n idea, when this event wiil occur? Still working with honeycomb :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
That's why this site is XDA Developers, we adapt and overcome :)

Official stock ROMS don't really belong here, that's why we mod the hell out of them to what WE want. :D

Free your device and forget OTA, and Kies. It'll be the best thing you ever did ;)

ICS is just fine, and thankfully a huge improvement over HC. So will JB.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] arthurson:
i don't like aosp and cm10 11 12, it is very ugly.

It took ages for ZTOLP3 to download, so I'll flash it and stick with that one for the time being. I just need it to solve some graphics bugs...I'll try DXLP8 next.

Obrigado!

Cm 11, 12?

If you like stock rom then why aren't you happy with having Ics? There is hardly any difference in Samsung Roms, it always looks the same no matter which version of android its based on.

The note is a completely different device, different screensize, different input methods...

So why are so many here keen to have JB?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] songmeesay:
It does have flash support. You just have to install the flash player apk. Did it on my nexus 7, note 2, and my tab 7.7 running paranoid android.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] iOStoAndroid:
OK guys, back to the topic.

I seems to have irked some Samsung Folks on Twitter about our Tab 7.7 not getting JB.

I believe JB brings so much performance improvements that it would be criminal for Samsung not to update the Tab 7.7 to JB. It is decent enough specs to handle it. After all it's not even a year old.

So what I suggest we get together as a group and push Samsung to bring a JB version (at least for the unlocked international version)

I would like to know who would be willing to get on twitter and support this campaign.

The two accounts that are connected to Samsung that are relevant are

@SamsungMobile (Global Samsung mobile twitter account)

@TechnoWebcare (EU based Samsung support, based in Netherlands)

I suggest we repeatedly tweet to these accounts with specific hashtags.

The hashtags that got TechnoWebcare to notice were

#Samsung Never Again

#Samsung Fail

So who is with me?

Before we start, we must agree on a few hashtags and then start our campaign
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] teddyteddy92:
I also contacted Samsung but they Told me that they can't give support for a device that was never sold in my country (Italy).

I will join the twitter action, but now that there are jelly bean for galaxy s2 and note (leaked) it shouldn't be so difficult to port the ROM to our tab.. The note seems to have the same hardware as our tab except the sound chip, which is the one from s2..I'm not a developer but if testers are needed I can do it!

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jerverg:
Probably has something to do with their Europe standing. This product lost to Apple with every law suit filed. Meaning, fewer market reach. But, they released this tablet through Verizon wireless in the US, along with quite a huge price tag. ICS was released in the US just this October, so let's not go ahead of ourselves and hope Samsung won't want to piss-off customers who paid for this device with quite a lot of $$$. Isn't Note 1 still running ICS? That was released around the same date. Even SII, released Feb 2011 is still in ICS too. Maybe we'll get ours in February as the NoteI and SII are getting theirs in January. Fingers crossed. ICS is quite fine for now anyways, but I would love that multi-window feature I have in the S3. Well, that would work better in a bigger screen.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] el_campi:
It's not probably, because Samsung show a list of Jelly Bean devices updates, the s2 is in that list but the P6800/6810 no.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] iOStoAndroid:
The original Tab 10.1 is nt on that as well.

I have sold my 7.7

The improvement in performance from ICS to JB is so marked, I cannot forgive Samsung for not updating this very expensive Tablet.

In fact, I make it a point when recommending devices to family/friends to avod Samsung. I sm that pissed
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Kralik:
I just switched from a Nexus 7 with a custom JB ROM to the Tab 7.7 with stock ICS. For general use (no gaming, just reading/movies/music) I can't say that I notice much of a difference at all between them. I did manually disable/remove a bunch of junk apps though.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] skeeterpro:
Yeah, JB would be nice but, for me, ICS does everything I need/want. Our 7.7 may well be a "tech orphan" but IMO far from EOL regardless of Samsung's position.

The way Samsung cannibalizes their own lineup with so many devices it's a wonder ANYthing gets official OTA!

If it weren't for XDA we'd be lost! Just sayin. :)
