True, ICS is brilliant on custom ROMs, but how is it on stock? She's kinda phone illiterate, so is it worth it?

Interesting choice of words (and yet another pointless thread from you).

GB touchwizz and ICS touchwizz is practically the same..
The only big differences you'll see is the system menu and the multitasking menu (long pressing the home button).
Soo yea.. why not

ICS feels smoother overall, for example moving from one screen to another doesn't "jerk" as much even when a conservative governor is used.
There are a few things I don't like, but I don't regret the upgrade (on rooted stock, doesn't feel the need for custom).

You're welcome. In future just press the thanks button, that's what it's there for.

If you're in the mood for some reading you can go check out this. But I think the answer for your question is more than obvious.

Read and search and stop posting a thread for every little question that pops in your mind.

Where CM9 is almost ready for SGS & SG Nexus S 2 but we haven't any ICS Port yet! Our phone is one of the most powerful among the market..So why not anyone come forward?
Being a Tegra2 device we need some support from the manufacturer. Good luck with that one, it'll be a long wait.

I'm just wondering. Does ICS for the XOOM count as support from the manufacturer.
Nvidia says theyre finally going to help us, only a matter of time before official CyanogenMod support, says Ricardo.

The last time someone said this, someone actually said yes! The response to that was... don't bother. You need experience and knowledge.

XOOM is an official Google device.
SO you can understand it as support from Google.

I use the AOKP Rom right now, but I would like to switch to a different one.
Sorry if this has been asked. Its 4am and I wanted to get this up so I can *hopefully* have an answer by morning.
I'm off to bed... thanks.

Any ROM with tablet mode will have them, it's part of tablet mode itself.

@ranger captain thanks broe just found it on the sms settings i appreciate the help.... thanks again broe
do but only works for emails and other notifications... bug not for text...
Bro, set up things how you like them then reboot to see if the old preference is cleared out and the new ones stick. Its worth a shot.
Open messaging app, hit the menu captive button on lower left and click settings.

I guess it's late because they wanted to fix the ExynosAbuse exploit, possibly along with some other small bugs. Keep in mind that the later it comes, the better it will be. This is especially important since 4.1 is probably the last update we'll get.

More to the point, who honestly cares ? What enormous technological advances are you expecting with a mid-level upgrade to a phone OS; turning a dual core phone into a 24 core phone ?
And they say Apple fanboy are bad.
