SGS II will recieve official ICS.
Samsung will give official updates do SGSII up to 18 months from the phone release date.
So yes, we get the official samsung ICS
Samsung are signed up to the Google update path .
All compatible products receive updates for at least 18 months from first build date .
jje
really?
dunno that...
but i think it's gonna be a big time to wait...until Sammy releases to SGS2
Maybe it will take a while for the US versions of the SGS2 to get updates (blame the networks for that), but the Euro version should get it reasonably soon.
CM9 for those who don't want to wait for an official Samsung TW rom, just be patient though teamhacksung will do their magic.

I for one am more excited for the Samsung ics than cyanogenmod. I've used cm6 and 7 across around 5 devices but I think Samsung got it 99% right with the gs2!

that's nice...
it's almost unbelievable, when a new OS is released...
then ppl port it fastest to Nexus, and Nexus S devices...
i hope Cyanogen could really make a SGS2 version fastest too!!
and that ICS could fix AOS bug forever!!
I'm currently using CM7 on my GS2. This is the fastest rom ever. Definitely will go to CM9 by the time it's released already.

They'll do it.
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.

Hope this is true and not a rumors........waiting
They hvn't even released the 2.3.4 update in India.Jan 2012 s too early a date for us i guess .
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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.

Wow - official in 3 months? Testing should be out soon - shouldn't it? =p

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

I actually wouldnt mind skipping ics and getting jellybean instead
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
A long time ago, Samsung promised to release an additional update wih more S-Pen software and better functionality. I dont remember when, but it was at least a few weeks ago. Search aound and youll find it. Angry Birds space isnt an update. Its a completely new game. Just like Rovio does whenever it has a new theme...Rio...Seasons...you get the idea. So unless the Korean translations were crap (Sammy is known for their terrifying translations...remember the galaxy tab site?) this means that there will be a software update (either a ROM or a update for the S-Memo type apps) and a new "suite" of apps that we'll get from the Samsung app store that'll include a note specific version of Angry Birds space with a free bonus episode and(that others will have to purchase via in app purchasing), and a note-only bonus level.
In short...Samsung never once mentioned anything along the lines of a "value pack"...in fact, on the contrary. This is speak of a galactic update.
Not to mention the fact that there are already official ICS ROM leaks...and Samsung has announced the update already for couple countries.
If you had read the article and checked the source,you'd know that there is actually 0 evidence of this.
Weird logical leap. Note will get ICS.
They're skipping ICS and going to blow everyone away with JellyBean. Right?
It would be stupid for them to not release ICS for the note or the galaxy S II phones all these phones have great specs for running ICS. Besides if they don't release it there will be many roms available
Canadian carriers clearly show ICS available 2012 would really suck if they lie.

Remember the post refers to the international Note, and the International Note already has leaked ICS. So likely it will get official ICS.

Sigh. =/ can you update us?
I don't have good news but I can share what the experience was for us Samsung Infuse 4g users.
We all started with Froyo and the promise of a Ginger Bread update. Here we are many months later still on Froyo. There was an official Update to Ginger Bread in the beginning of February that was promptly pulled because of all the issues it had.
When I saw that the note was supposed to be released with Ginger Bread with the promise of an ICS update ... I was stunned at the similarity of what Samsung was doing. I am almost certain we even got an Angry Birds update somewhere in August... yet we still to this date have Froyo.
With this in mind and the Fact that Samsung isnt being a speedy updater.. I would suggest moving forward and making the most of what you have right now.
I hope they release your ICS soon but the fact that there are leaks means nothing...we have had Ginger Bread leaks since october last year. Thus it is no indication of an official release. It is more like small teases to keep us on the string.
On the bright side we have had several great devs over at the Infuse 4g forums that made our lives a little easier. Taking the GB leaks and developing ROMs. Most of the ROMs were great and were indeed GB based ROMs. There were a couple of issues however. No Bluetooth and HDMI support as the kernels the devs had to work with didn't support them for some reason. I am sure they explained it a million times.. LOL.
Dman ... who developed several great ROMs and a few ports.. was amazing. I heard he now had a gnote. So cross your fingers that he will be doing some great work here as well.
To sum up...
Don't get in a hurry for an Update to ICS. Don't believe what Samsung or ATT says about Samsung updates PERIOD.
Myself....I will be holding out for the note until I see an official ICS.

This is why I have ALWAYS been so shy about going to a Samsung phone.
Good thing is, if something with similar hardware releases with ICS, we'll have the drivers we need and we can just Root and jump on the ROM train.
That's why I decided on Samsung this time around.

everything changed with LTE coming to ATT...if there was no LTE in ATT note or International Gnote also had LTE, then i am sure we could port Int Gnote's rom....
Thats what happened with Captivate...

I don't doubt there will be ports or anything. That's the main factor that got me to go ahead with this phone, the great community here at XDA!!

Cool we have confirmation of ics!
For US phones, basically unless you get one of the Nexus phones, you should never expect to get any timely OTA updates. It's still mostly the US phone carriers to blame more so than the phone vendors themselves. Like I'm sure Samsung isn't actually intentionally delaying ICS forever on purpose.
it is coming in may
Hi im a GS1 owner, soon maybe getting the GS2 and i wonder if i should upgrade it with the stock 4.0.4 or stay on 2.3.6.
(im staying stock for a while then rooting changing roms etc)
From some i heard the batterytime was not as good as in GB. From some it was smoother in ICS.
If you have upgraded to ICS (Stock) not custom, did you regret it or is it better?
Stock ICS is uglier than stock GB. ICS has better battery life and of course, the new features of ICS.

Yeah, it's definitely worth it.
If you face any problems after upgrading, then search the thread first for similar issues before opening a new thread.
Good luck

You can try ofc and downgrade to Gb if Ics doesn`t suites your needs. My S2 is quite new, has only a month and it came up with Ics 4.0.3 installed.
The best way is to try for yourself and judge then what to do. The process of flashing is so simple as you surely know.
Cheers and welcome to S2 comunity.

Samsung is presently conducting their show in IFA 2012,
Galaxy Note II with jelly bean out of box, has just been announced and rumors say they will announce the ETA for jelly bean update for other devices today

S3 has fifth leaked jelly bean already. What I have heard Sammys engineers are working on s3 and note2 versions already and S2 will be released later.

They should already release it but there are some problems with TouchWiz... I'm thinking we just have to wait about one month more.
Some say sat. Sammobile has said a flagship is getting it in 48hrs S3 leak is already out so mite be s2:thumbup:
So we must wait. I believe that it will be soon.
