Take this with a pinch of salt as it's far from official but:
Gaurav Hasabnis, an industry analyst and contributing editor of Fonearena.com posted on Twitter: “Something gonna come in Jan 2012. #sgs2 users gonna rejoice!”, followed by a second tweet: “Soon Mali400 gonna be in full use.”
The mentioned Mali 400 is the name of the GPU on the Samsung Galaxy S II. Rumors states Ice Cream Sandwich will utilize the the full potential of high-end smartphones better than previous Android OS, which leads us to believe that the ICS will be making its way to the Galaxy S2.

Thank you for the heads up. Hope GS2 will not take a long time to upgrade like the Samsung did for Galaxy S.
seems to match up with this
http://www.lifeofandroid.com/news_detail/ice-cream-sandwich-to-debut-on-android-handsets-in-weeks/
The worldwide release of Android 4.0 will begin in time for Christmas with Google’s Nexus S smartphone meaning the new OS should be broadly available for all compatible handsets by early 2012.

They hvn't even released the 2.3.4 update in India.Jan 2012 s too early a date for us i guess .

If they won't release it officially, I'm sure we'll get a custom rom with 4.0 running as soon as the Galaxy Nexus is launched But good news, anyway!
Just think. If it's January 'officially,' then it could be December (or earlier) for us!
That's a great news. Though I think we'll get ICS unofficially before that. Anyone?

Wow this is great news. Now android is a step closer to WP7 and iOS in handling resources. +1 HW acceleration
Even if we are not getting the official update, i am sure xda developers will cook one for us.

Didn't Samsung drop development of 2.3.4 as they started 2.3.5
I still haven't got any official updates from 2.3.3 on a SIM free handset here in the UK.
Samsung UK have also tweeted that there is no time frame for getting ICS on the SGSII (read in to that what you want)
Think custom roms will be the only way forwards on ICS for some time.
Well that announcement is about Official release, NOT unofficial one. 70% users use Official ROM and like them, existing use this and that. Without a Stock ROM there won't be any Custom ROMs? Would there be?
Count me in those 70%.
We'll sure have some custom rom runnig ICS before the official one but I wonder what they'll do about touchwizz...
Looking forward to it
[ROM_LEAK] AT&T Skyrocket ICS leaked (Same chipset as Note?) [DEVS ONLY] get it here
Not sure where to post this, but as it's ROM related with sources I'm hoping here is the best place.
ICS for Skyrocket ROM leaked, which has to be extremely close to the same code base for the Note's LTE QComm Snapdragon S3 chipset.
Is this something our ROM devs can use for a solid ICS foundation for our Note? If not please forgive my mistake, just trying to help out...
DL from my mirror here
Original source info http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21384-ics-leak-for-att-skyrocket-4g/
Yeah I was reading about this in the Skyrocket forum last night or this morning and was quite excited hopefully we can make something of it and i have no problem donating webspace/storage and money to help out devs.
Belongs in general but thanks for the link
Thanks let see of devs can make this work for the note

leak is cool . but we need kernel source if we intend to port their base to ours so it would be a kernel dev 's work ..
I m thining we ll have a leak soon .. if ics got leaked for skyrocket it certainly exists somewhere for the note .. just need to be patient
Just as well, AT&T released a list of phones that would receive the ICS update. The Note was on it as well as the Skyrocket. All of this bodes well, and further suggest what i was the first to say. We'll get ICS shortly after its released for the international note, the Angry Birds Space app would be a new app....not an update to an existing app like some suggested (this made absolutely no sense to me) and that the premium suite would be a host of s-pen apps and updates (i stated all of this before the video was even close to being released. Im on a roll!!

Maybe we'll get lucky and get a ics kernel source leak for the note soon, so DA_G can work his magic, not like I'm in a rush, I'm enjoying gingerbread but I do miss ICS.

Currently as a phone or gadget, the Note has been impeccable with Saurom. I can wait for ICS. In the end a great phone is a great phone.

I'm still running the stock rom (with DaG's Kernel and supercharger) and my experience has been pleasant. I havent the need to flash a rom yet, but that day is coming soon.. waiting for a better theme for the SolarisPrime to come out
These comments are the antithesis of Dev only^^
On topic: we won't be able to get it booting without a kernel as said previously. And without source out a hacked one would be a mangled **** show so for now we have to wait.
If your interested though gb skyrocket roms boot with one of our kernels. We still needs a new one but it would be something to work on till we get source or a leak
T-mobile galaxy s2 boots with the skyrocket kernel...anybody willing to softbrick to try it out?
I have on my my t989 and my galaxy note. I'm using the galaxy note as my daily driver, but the t989 has the leaked skyrocket rom on it, so there are some things missing. I don't want to rely on it if I bork my note and don't have time to fix it. My Gnex is at home too...otherwise I'd just do it and see how it goes!

Not running Saurom myself right now, but from a GB perspective, I could not agree more. What makes the device great is the device itself. To me, ICS is an A while GB is a B+ at absolute worst, so like you, I will gladly wait.

This. GingerBread is hella stable now. Having a few HoneyComb devices laying around makes ICS seem sorta lack luster.

I used holo and da_g when I tried and it boots I didn't try with skyrocket kernel mainly due to the likelygood of no spen support. Although you never know. I have work all day otherwise I'd try again

The rumour is that we get ICS in August 2012 or 15 months after official Google announcement. So if there is a chance to get JB, add another 15 months to the official Google announcement (is gonna happen in few days) and you have the Samsung release date of September 2013.

Afaik the driver model has not changed from Android 1.0 to 4.0, it's still all linux. 5 years old linux drivers work on new systems.

This is because Samsung refuses to release the source code for the camera driver, so you cannot compile it with an alternate kernel. The driver would work for ICS if we had the source code.
Jb has been ripped already according to reports, so we shall see
Are you f'ing kidding me? I knew as soon as I saw the Google io release about jelly bean everyone would start asking this question.
A) how bout waiting for ICS first, then worry about an official update from 4 to 4.1.
B) According to Google it won't be much different, you can do all that 4.1 does with a launcher or a ROM
C). 4.1 will be an easier transition to accomplish whereas 3.5 to 4.0 is a harder undertaking thus the long wait.
D). With the injunction placed on the 10.1 in CA there will be no more galaxy tabs 10.1 for sale in the US anyway assuming Samsung doesn't win an appeal.
E). Its time to upgrade to a new tablet soon, ASUS has some amazing stuff and they are QUAD CORE! Compared to our two.
F). Once we get our cameras working on official ICS who cares anymore??? We will never get 5.0 officially so for me my tab ends at official ICS . CM9 is good now..cm10, cm 11 will suit your needs just the same.....
I am very sure we are gonna get jelly bean on our tab since the drivers for jelly bean and ice cream sandwich are the same, so Samsung only has to do very small things to get jelly bean to our tab. The reason why its taking so long for ice cream sandwich to come to our galaxy tab is that ics is a major revision and lots of drivers need to be updated.

The drivers are the same for Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS. There is no new driver model. These are all Linux drivers and the driver model does not change. Since Samsung has not released the Source Code for the Camera driver, and this Camera is not used for any other Tablet there is no Cyanogen camera support for the 10.1 tab.
The only reason there is no official ICS for Galaxy Tab 1 is the presence of Galaxy Tab 2 (with almost identical hardware, but a different camera), which has ICS. Samsung hopes to make some more money on users who don't want to wait and ditch the Tab 1 for the Tab 2.
Sammy will indeed update the tab to jelly bean in the year 2016, stand-by for further announcements. :highfive:
Guys this is Samsung's first flagship tablet....so Sammy 'll lose its already bad update release status completely if it lets down our tab.
With nexus tab given to azus Sammy 's got one less tablet to code for.
" THEN WHY THE F'kin HELL DOES SAMSUNG HOLD BACK UPDATES?????"
Damn frustated man.....

I believe once the JB is officially released the migration from AOKP/CM9 to it would be very smooth except for camera driver which has it's well known issue..
ICS
:good: What I heard lately Samsung announced Galaxy Tab 10.1 ICS upgrade and it's scheduled for July and August '12... :laugh:
So Jelly Bean is anounced but when will the S3 get it?
What is your oppinion?
Leave your thoughts. Or if you have news of update it would be great.
Samsung insiders have apparently said Q3 2012 which is any-time between now and end of September, most likely true.

That would be saweeet. I'm not saying that I don't believe you because I want this to happen, but given Samsungs track record with this, I'm a little wary. Maybe since Google and Samsung have been courting each other for a while, Sammy has had access to information that will help them get out releases earlier than usual?

There is a very big difference. My only concerns are how well will the smoothness seen in the Nexus with the stock launcher carry over into Touchwiz and how or if Samsung will integrate Google Now since it does some things that Samsung has tried to do with their own software.
I think I am possibly one of the only people who doesn't give a sh!t. Not sure why. It comes when it comes and I'm happy with that.
When ics is stable then I'll worry about jelly bean.
are you guys ok without flash support on JB?... that's the very reason why i won't upgrade even if it comes early...

Why would you "worry" about jelly bean when ics gets stable? Think of jelly bean as an ics+ that makes ics better.. Wouldn't it be good to have? I don't think ics is getting more stable when 4.1 is here..

Hi,
Does anyone know if samsung will ever update these players? This will prob be the last samsung player i buy, at lease apple releases updates for the players.
Doubt it. Plus the new huge-like-xbox players are coming out soon. So they'll probably focus on those.
Today Samsung posted a press release where it listed many devices that will get Jelly Bean, and one of them was the "Galaxy Music", and Android Police was speculating that it could be referring to the Galaxy Player.
Sent from a GNote all tricked out with BlackCNA, yes.
Hopefully so.
galaxy music is a mobile phone i think it isn't galaxy player :crying:

At the very least, we can hope that all the JB updates can be used to make the Player's ICS ROMs better.
A wise person once posted "With Android, you get 100% of the update 50% of the time. With Apple, you get 50% of the update 100% of the time". The Android Advantage is that you can grab an update from another place
