Here is short comparison from AndroidPolice: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...sion-4-2-16-with-brand-new-ui-for-10-tablets/
I'm gonna try it as soon as I get home to my tablet.

Loaded it up last night. The good news is, the Transformer dock keyboard now works in the search field even when you're not on the home screen! Also, the video window is larger. Overall, it's a good change.
i think im going to pass on this update as long as i can. i love the dark theme of the old version, the white is too hard on the eyes.
The new version has its good points, we can now actually delete videos from play lists and it seems to be a little bit faster however everything looks huge and oversized like its been designed for kids. There is also no full screen button so you have to watch a boxed video, although it is a slightly larger video box than the previous version.
I tried it and hated it and have gone back to the old version. It just looks nicer overall and has a full screen mode.

Same here, together with the new UI layout on the Nexus 10 I am starting to worry. Who knows what the next version will bring. Only time will tell.

For me it's just like the desktop update, ugly and counterintuitive. Everything takes much more time to do and find now, I'm reverting to theold look
The fullscreen button is there, but it's bugged. If you rotate tablet you will see it (into portrait mode), and sometimes it becomes visible in landscape mode. Sometimes...
I also think that old one was better. First it was blackish which was much better, comments were on better position - now you have to have collapsed description and related videos and all buttons are ridiculously big => bigger controls, less content.
Thankfully I was able to revert to old version

Beam requires an NFC chip, I'm pretty sure the Prime doesn't have one.
I no longer have the option to close out running applications.
Now they just pile up and don't provide an "X" to close them.
This will just hog up system resources.
Still no functionality for the lower portion of the mouse pad. A simple left-click would at least allow for easier attempt at selecting text in a text box.

Face unlock seems to be a galaxy nexus feature now more than ICS. even my nexus s that runs on Ics, never got the face unlock
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
I was looking thru the apps disabling what I could in the settings and I see that Face Unlock is in there it lets you force close it and disable it. Its version 4.0.3-239410 and says its 64KB not sure if thats the full app or maybe something that will get added in later. Maybe we just need to find a way to enable it?
Perhaps the front facing camera is not up to spec hence the upgrade this summer?
And, hit the X below the notifications to close all of them at once. That's a welcome addition.

After a bunch of poking around, I manage to find the live wallpapers and clock from the original ICS unveiling in Hong Kong!
They install on our ICS build just fine. The bubbles live wallpaper is awesome and the Phase Beam is not the recreation found in the market (though so far it is only the background without the floating circles and lines).
Anyway, if anybody else comes across any ICS stuff not included in our build, share it here.
what is the Phase beam supposed to do? it doesn't do anything
and that clock one you added is just a widget, not a live wallpaper. the bubbles one works real good though.

I'm working on a ICS stock browser enhancement for ICS phones, but now ICS is also available on the tablet I like to make some adjustments for it too.
The browser can be downloaded here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.browserplus
Features implemented yet that are relevant for the tablet also:
+ setting of the User Agent string is implemented in tablet mode. (When setting the ua string to "desktop" notice that one always can request a mobile version of a page by unchecking the option request desktop site)
+ home button on the action bar
+ gestures: swipe left and right to do certain user definable actions
I will work heavily on the browser in the near future. Any suggestions, requests (concerning the tablet mode) etc are highly appreciated.
Nice app, liking it so far
Requests for the future:
a dedicated home button would be awesome
a speed dial type home page option (like opera)

Like the speed dial home page idea. Btw do you mean a dedicated home button in the quick controls?
I second the home button, I think he meant a button near the back and reload buttons up top

Its already possible at the moment:
"possibility to set the User Agent string . "
Taken from the market text. I use this on my DHD on ICS beta and its pretty handy.
*feature request*
maybe having a dedicated settings page could be handy.
Something like what dolphin does, could be pretty useful.
ok heres another request:
An option to specify what folder downloads go to.

Good one! The home button is implemented in the latest version. I also added gesture support. Very comfortable on a tablet.

how do you pay for the "pro" version?
also, are we still going to get text reflow on zoom, double tap and pinch? because if i have Auto-fit Pages (in advanced options) selected, it is autofit for zoom already even if i haven't zoomed in. it doesn't ever change. if it is not selected, then it is fill for the full screen view but never reflows whether i pinch or double tap. I can't find or change anything in the settings to change this. it either is formated for the zoomed in version, or formated for the zoomed out version, but not depending on zoom.
Thanks you for this app, not having an option to set all webpages to the Desktop version was really irritating. I also like the addition of the home screen button and basic gestures!
Any way to get settings that you change in the debuging menu to stick. When the browser is closed, they rest until you open the debugging menu again. I prefer to disable the "use wide viewing" setting but hate having to continue to enter "about:debug" just to get it to work everytime I open the browser.

Love this browser, i've been using it since the update. One suggestion though.
When you go to menu via quick controls, you get the very low res yellow circle indicator. It kinda bothers me and i hope you can just make the selection highlighted with the ics colors.

+1 for Thumb Keyboard. Let me give you a tip for something that works even better than my normal desktop.
Thumb Keyboard has a button that looks like a thumbtack that opens up a list of editable "Quick Text" buttons you can edit. At the top I have my name, various logins, and email addresses. If you *scroll* to the very bottom you see something I've labeled "pw". Whenever I need to login in to anything it goes: Thumbtack button --> login --> tab (directly below the thumbtack button) --> thumbtack --> scroll to bottom --> password --> Enter. It seriously takes me 2 seconds to log into anything. It's awesome. Granted, I've encrypted my Prime and have a Lock Password set, so I'm not too worried about the security.
That's just one use of Thumb Keyboard though. It's super customisable, much moreso than SwiftKey (which I use on my phone), and has word-but-not-sentence prediction. I type much faster using it than I do with my phone.

Discovered i don't need swype. The stock Asus keyboard has its own implementation that's just as good, if not better!
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
When not using the dock, I prefer to use Thumb Keyboard from the market for the on-screen keyboard. The problem is when I dock the tablet, the keyboard stays on Thumb Keyboard, which uses the US keyboard layout which is a bit of a problem since my Prime is the UK model. The keyboard layout differs slightly which is not a huge problem but it does get a bit annoying.
I can manually change the keyboard back to the Asus keyboard but that seems to be an extra step in something that should be automated. Does anyone know if there is an app or a setting that tells the tablet to change keyboard automatically when you dock or undock the keyboard? Thanks!
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
I believe there is an application for that, but I don't remember it's name unfortunately. It might require root too.
I'm also using thumb keyboard, but I haven't found any inconsistencies yet, could you point them out to me?
As for fixing your issue, you could try the ' alternative/international keyboards' setting
The only one I have found so far are @ and " being switched around. (shift+2 is @ on US keyboard, " in UK) There might be more but I haven't really tested them out. Anyway I tried looking at the international keyboard settings but there seems to be no way to change to the UK layout; there's just one QWERTY keyboard.

i just did the other day using viperboys method, it was done in less than 10 minutes with NO hassle. HIHGLY recommend it. i pretty much did it for this app, which USED to be paid. for w/e reason, dev made free... and im glad!
my only possibly objection to KBM, it places a notification in the bottom right. i just hate notifications. i try to clear em asap. but, same goes for external sds... so i guess we just deal with it lol...
Lol. I know lots of people get annoyed by notification icons but I'm pretty cool with them so it should be alright. Thanks for the tip on the rooting method.
