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
Ok makes me wonder how much love'n our GS2's are going to get as far as updates?
The Skyrocket came out with 2.3.5 and just got 2.3.6, and we are still on 2.3.4. Also the Euro version of the GS2 are always being updated and I think there are 2.3.6 builds out for it.
I'm confident that we wil get ICS next year, but it would be nice to get the latest Gingerbread while we are waiting.
I know a lot of people on here flash custom ROMs, but there are also many people like me who don't flash ROMs and find the stock ROM just fine.
Makes me wonder if it is AT&T again holding up updates or Samsung.

They're just numbers... what really changes between 2.3.4 - 2.3.6.

Besides, we have our 2.3.6 official ROM leak for a while now. What matters is who gonna get ICS first, leaks or official.

Well obviously something is different being as it's 2 newer version numbers.
Of course I'm not sure what that is. But it is nice to be up to date on things.
correct me if I'm wrong but just because one phone has two revisions "newer" than another phone doesnt mean its better. It just means it had more bugs to fix.

Sounds right. This is just a bugfix with the updated OS. Samsung knows the Skyrocket doesn't get as much love from the community either, so they have to fill in the gaps.
Not every Android OS updates are better than older version. 2.3.5 broke something (Voice search IIRC) and 2.3.6 is released to fix it.
Besides, the real reason AT&T/Samsung rush 2.3.6 updates for Skyrocket is because there is a wide spread internet connection issue with Skyrockets on non-LTE areas.

I am pretty sure you are exactly correct. I've read that the 2.3.6 was rushed into production on the Skyrocket to address some major bugs in the original release. Apparently there were a bunch of problems with Google Voice integration and the Android voice search feature, both of which work fine on our phones.
Most likely just because that new bug with powervr and privileges escalation they got the update to patch that.
We don't have the same hardware as skyrocket to we aren't affected therefore no patch for us.

Believe it or not, the 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 was updated by Samsung to tie into the whole APPLE vs/ Samsung legal lawsuit overseas... Apple won the suit and Samsung had to CHANGE touchwiz to avoid patent infringement on Apple's intellectual property. It was either SIDE or VERITCAL scrolling that had to get nerfed... Be thankful we didn't get hit with it yet...
Other than the SCROLL change, I don't think there is a MAJOR change from 2.3.4 on GS2 vs. 2.3.5/2.3.6 on Skyrocket...!

Wrong. The skyrockets was only release in north America, lawsuit doesn't affect us osgs2 or skyrocket. The data Issue was fix by at&t a week ago no software needed. There is an update from 2.3.5- 2.3.6 notice nothing new there but the phone feels smoother to me. At&t update priority is more on the skyrocket. Not that ya need it anyways. also as of today the vivid and the skyrocket are the only at&t phones officially getting ICS. You guys might never get an official ICS update.

You might, if you're lucky, get ICS by the end of 2012. (Look at how long it's taking the Captivate and Infuse to get Gingerbread.)
Same for us, HOWEVER unlike you we can pull ICS from the I9100. You're just AT&T's helpless ***** when it comes to waiting for updates.

While the phone hasn't been released in the US yet, Samsung has decided to go ahead and release the Kernel source for the AT&T version of the Note. Thought US-based Devs would like to have this so the ROMs can be worked on for the US Note (which I can't wait to pick up on 2/18, myself)
LINK
Thread cleaned
Let's keep this pertinent to development.
AT&T Galaxy Note Kernel Source Released I want ICe Cream
So with Sammy releasing the AT&T Galaxy Note Kernel Source does this mean they are going to release ICS for the Note and have a whole new Kernal?
ICS for US based Note will come after April ....
Oh, please, after the wait we had for GB on the Captivate, I don't think anyone can predict ICS's coming on any kind of a schedule.
Do you guys think we will have a root method waiting for us when release day hits ?

When I had the note in hand last Saturday I tried super one click and it "claimed" it worked...I had issues with superuser though.
I wasn't brave enough to try and flash a custom recovery and a superuser zip though as it wasn't my device haha.
Either the test unit was rooted already, or superoneclick worked

I hope we get some good development for this device! I just pre-ordered at Best Buy this morning and cant wait till the 19th!!!
As much as I appreciate the sentiment, remember, this is Development, not General. I'm locking this up now.
Read this on a couple of tech sites. Very disappointed. I was under the impression that the wait for ICS wasn't gonna be that long. That was a big factor in getting the note. Would have held out for a quad core with ICS already on it if I knew it was gonna be this long. I love my note and it's sad that att's flagship android device doesn't have the latest version of android. Plus I think ics will smooth out alot of the lagginess owners have been reporting.

ICS wasn't coming until at least Q2 for the AT&T Note anyways. In fact, your ICS might be right on schedule.
The funny part is that this is for the International version. Meaning that we'll get ICS months after that
Like I've said all along, we won't see it untilled October at earliest. To op, you said u wouldn't have gotten the phone, then on the other hand you love it?????? Can't we stop worrying about ics, and enjoy this amazing device already! Dang people!

The reason is, once you ICS, you never want to go back, that's why I returned my note and stick with my nexus.

What? Possibly in issolated cases or on crappy ROMs, but that is one hell of an arogant blanket statement to make on an OS that is just rolling out onto handsets the past couple months. I saw vast improvements with it in many aspects, to include battery.

^^This guys got a point. I will defend ICS tooth and nail, but you will rarely find me belly aching about it being on the note. I absolutely want it, but I didn't buy a phone with it already on it. I do expect ATT/Samsung to deliver it to us, but don't think we'll see it untill fall. Anything sooner will be a great surprise, anything later and I'll start complaining. If all I wanted was ICS then I would have kept my Vibrant.
Time to DIY
I saw that this morning and welp... time to flash a custom ROM -_-
I was holding off waiting for the official to get here 'later this month'. I am disappoint. Oh well... Its not hard to root anyway.
Waiting for the next o.s. update for your smartphone is a never ending game and hasn't changed.
It's not real smart to buy something HOPING it will get the next update sooner rather than later. WIth smartphones, you'll always be disappointed .
I'm running ICS on another device I have and it's not that big of a deal. I'd certainly like it on my Note but it's not something I'm waiting for with every breath.
totally untrusted source. there is no samsung norway official page+samsung norway does not speak english!! anyways the youtube video interview, that samsung executive guy who was answering questions, where it says comments, it was written that the att note will be getting the update in may
doesn't Q2 start in like 2 weeks?
So tired of the *****ing and crying over ics go and take your note back and get the nexus if you want ics so bad I'm am completely happy with my note
Me Too!
This phone works great on GB!

Good afternoon guys
I know probably this will be a pushy question but I will really like to know some information about what could we been expecting now with this new 4.1 update for I717.
I was looking on the N7000 forum and there is a lots of nice roms on JB out there, any of those Dev will think on porting their roms to our device?
thanks in advance for your opinion,
I've been following this device since release because one of my friends has it. Overall I am very disappointed in what's come of development from here and most of all from AT&T. As soon as the Note 2 dropped the Note 1 died. Even the new update doesn't have Multi Window features. Nobody somehow even ported it yet? I can't find it. People ported it to the S2 S3 etc etc.
Time to upgrade to a Note 3 from the looks of it.
I asked because I don't any of the Dev pronounce any information of building or porting a rom base on the new updated. probably its me and I don't want to sound like bad but the update it there and We would like to know if there will be nice roms like they are on the N7000
thanks for your all understanding
