Is it going to take a year or will we be blessed with ICS shortly after its release?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
If it's anything like the Captivate, we'll get the update via Carrier after a long delay, but custom ROMs will have it not long after it appears for the international SGS2.
Go figure....lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
why ask when you know the answer - lol
Being that ICS hasn't even been released yet, means the manufacturers dont have the code to make it work on the phone. Which means we are probably 8-12 months away from seeing a "leaked" ICS.
Who knows. If the phone hardware is similar, we might get an early release of ICS based on the Nexus Prime version.
LOL your right but who knows ICS is designed for dual core hardware so we might get lucky lets just see.........

I was actually pretty happy running cognition, Unnamed, etc, but now I'm running CM7 because I know CM will serve up ice cream sandwich months before we see it from Samsung or elsewhere.

Haha, sounds like what we all said about GB since the Nexus S is so close to the Captivate (and Galaxy S).
when google releases jellybeans, ATT will release ice cream....
i hope its not jellybeans. I dont like jellybeans. lets call it 'jalapeno'
I really hope we'll get it relatively soon... but if not I'll just leave it too the custom ROM devs to get it to us xD

Looks like ICS is a 3 button lay out from what the video shows on the Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
(dates are approximate, based solely on my fuzzy memory)
If the history of the Captivate can be a guide:
AOSP Froyo was released in about July(?) of last year, I9000 Froyo and leaked versions of Froyo for Captivate started appearing around October, official AT&T UCKB1 Froyo dropped in late February. So, about 8 months for official Froyo.
AOSP GB was released in about Feb., Samsung I9000 custom ROMs appeared around May, and official AT&T Captivate GB still has not been released nor has any definite timeline even been announced. 2011 was all that was given in a press release a few months back, but 8 months would put it around Dec/Jan.
But the I777 AT&T SGS II deviates less from the international SGSII though, which *might* make it easier/simpler for Samsung and AT&T to shorten the development cycle. Captivate had stuff like the Audience chip that the international I9000 didn't, and omittted stuff like the front-facing camera, flash, and FM radio. SGSII also has less bloat that needs to be updated.
We'll just have to see how much faster the development cycle is, if it's improved at all.

My thoughts exactly, but touchwiz admittedly adds a lot to android and improves on stock in some ways. They could improve on aesthetics though...

you have to be patient & bare with it. It's always slow in the beginning & it picks up later on. Tomorrow I'll be switching from a N7000 to i717 but it will be well worth it in the long run.
I heard Team Kang (AOKP) and Codename want to release a rom for us. Maybe in the next few weeks or in few months, that's what we don't know.

I simply haven't heard anything about aokp for this device when not a single dev has mentioned anything about an ics build. although I'm sure we'll see something after the official ics release.
How am I knocking the device? I like my note. It's safe to say this won't have as wide of a dev adoption as the s2, Atrix, skyrocket, and one x. Mostly due to the release schedule.

Just an FYI, I had an Atrix on day one and the same things were said about it a month after release (not much dev adoption, low interest in device, etc). So if the Atrix has such great adoption and dev support, then I think it's safe to say it's only a matter of time for this device, too.

Yup, had Atrix on launch day, everyone said the same thing. Man.. that was a long road... I don't think we had a proper CWM until maybe..4-6 months in? Lol, it was such a volatile forum. Everyone hating everyone.
There's definitely a lot of development going on there now so we good. Not as crazy as other phones though, but pretty good.

I come from the HD2. When I got the phone, it was so hard to get that there were entire threads dedicated to when/where you got yours. Every store sold out the day the trucks ran, sometimes within minutes.
It took forever to get a decent version of Android to boot up, and for an entire year we were stuck with SD versions until they finally got a hacked-up bootloader that could get NAND installed.
Even today, that is one of the heaviest dev'd phones this forum has ever seen, running every version of Windows Mobile, Android and even several flavors of Linux. I don't think that this phone will come close to the activity seen there, but if it does I wouldn't expect to have this phone completely unlocked and running as many ROMs as the HD2 any time this year.
Many people keep saying, "It's only been a month!" and I can only agree with that. I would be disappointed but not surprised to see no significant developments on this phone in the next 4 months. As a matter of fact, I really expect to see an official ICS release before CM9 hits us.
But I've been wrong before...

[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...

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 ..

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!!

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.

ICS = HANDS DOWN UCLE2 BASE + FJ MOD by Flappjaxxx
But many others that have minor bugs... youll have to read up on each.
I rocked troposphere for quite a while... Kinda Like AOSP
I played with tablet mods on several other bases(which was cool and different) but I already have a tablet so didnt need another one lol
Im sure that you'll want to stay away from GB roms, because if you do go with GB you'll only find out at a later date that, when you flash ICS, you should have done it in the first place... Kind like having a choice to buy either a 1990 mustang or a 2012 mustang and choosing the 90's car. Then when it starts to smell old and feel slow, switching to the 2012... Money aside of course...
Welcome!
I am using the flappjaxxx rom mentioned above and I am over all pleased.

I'm so glad you love your NOTE
I even love this device also it replaces my laptop because I own ASUS G53SX damn this thing is so heavy to bring around
What I love about the note is 5.3 inch screen very high def qualify watching movies or TV on it at 1080P 60fps and very fun playing games on it as well when I'm out about too . Very light weight and it fit's in my jeans pocket just fine.
For 5.3 inch Phone + Tablet all in one device compared to Asus Prime which is 10 inch screen I prefer to have a device that's a phone and tablet so I don't have to bring 2 different devices around with me
The latest UCLE2 IMM76D 4.0.4 build is the most stable i've had so far. If you like the stock experience I'd say go with that ROM. Then ofcourse root it!
I'm on the stock official release that just came out. Nothing fancy for now.

I don't, I'm almost positive that there won't be 5.0 at all for this phone unless we get a new cyanogenmod maintainer for our device.

I just read over at our Sprint E4GT forum that the GS2 variants will get 5.0

Funny all the news I been seeing on the Sprint variant is saying 4.1.2.
I had to see it for myself http://m.cnet.com/news/sprints-samsung-galaxy-s2-scores-jelly-bean-update/57577057 if only att would get on board for jelly bean. But no way will the s2 of any variety will see 5.0 officially

Yeah I very much doubt. Upgrade time coming up anyway! But happy with task650 4.2.2 as always
I know there are some that are hopeful for possible some unofficial ports of 5.0 coming to the GSII, but it's time to let go. I know that not everyone has a budget to replace their phone every 2 years, but you have to keep in mind that things change. Our phone (the I9100 + variants) has been a solid rock from the start, but android is increasing at a very fast rate. And it is also becoming very mature, with that. GB was very slim compared to what JB has added to the system. Ram usage has gone up ~50% from what I've noticed. Our phone only has 1gig of ram, I highly doubt Keylime pie would run as effectively as GB or ICS has. I've noticed some instances in JB already where lack of ram has caused hindrances. Nothing big, but it's there.

What about it?
Go speculate in the GS3 forum if you want, this is the GS2 forum
But we should note that, although galaxy s3 and note 2 will get the key lime pie, when will the klp release?According to the present condition, I think we cannot see the real android 5.0 in a short time.
