Hi there.
Bought my ltd edition tab off eBay as live in uk and couldn't wait until now for the official release...
However, not being a developer, I'm wondering if I'm being left behind as the touchwiz ux update seems like it's not going to be pushed out to these tabs... Don't get me wrong, although I own a SGS2, I had a Nexus One and loved it and do miss being the first in line for updates and loved stock Android. Will there be anymore updates for my tab? Is the 10.1 io the new honeycomb Nexus for now?
Whilst I'm doubting this, I can't see me rooting my beloved tablet, just don't know enough and live in fear of bricking it...
Any advice would be greatly received. Thanks.
Jamie

Hi Guys,
Probably someone has asked same question, but would it be available for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 soon?
Cheers,

The trick to getting ice cream sandwich on the tab is to put ice cream on the screen, then put cookies on both sides, then search the forum before you post.

+1 this is a great idea
Why is it people buy a media consumption device yet consume no media on it? One Google search, or one simple scroll would have netted you the answer you were looking for.
But, since my toilet is really comfortable I have a few minutes for ya. ICS- will not be released for another month or two. Then you have to wait for Samsung to adapt it to their UI, so basically you have about 2 to 19 months until you will see it on your tab.

Well i hope it is released in October. But yes it will be months later until Samsung codes it in for the gtab.
There has to be a word for the particular kind of nerdhood that Android tablets seem to engender. People who buy a $500 gadget only to obsess over installing the next version of its operating system.
Dissatisfied?
Me .... I'm fine with my Tab, although I'd be happy if I were to receive an update that improves the Tab further.
CM8. That's all.

ICS Upgrade
Why all the hostility...This is what forums are meant to be, sharing information. You have I would like to have and Vice versa. Also are we not all always looking for the next evolution in the OS and it's new features. Yes I what my 500.00 dollar toy to have the best it could handle.

I would hardly call Samsung's 3.1 incarnation a smooth experience. Yes it works, but regular force closes are becoming annoying. So, personally, I would love to see ICS available for the Tab 10.1, and perhaps more importantly, the ICS source being made available for the devs to get to work
I got the Galaxy player 4.0 yesterday and it got rooted using this toolkit (DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0]) no problem .
This morning I found out about the 4.2 model so I returned the 4.0 (unrooted smoothly!) and got myself a 4.2.
I just got done trying to root it using the toolkit and it did not work. According to SamSung, the 4.2 runs the same version of Android (2.3.5) as the 4.0 but apparently whatever tweak they got on the 4.2 is preventing it from being rooted using the same method.
Anyone has any idea what I might try next to get it rooted?
Thanks!
this is Q&A not development
moved to general - this isn't development
same problem
hey i am going to get the 4.2 because it looks really nice but when i get it i want to root it right away and get 4.0 fresh on it. I know it just came out 5 days ago but is there no way to get it rooted?

By 4.0 you mean?
android 4.0 ics. i was assuming that there could/would be a rom made with 4.0 on it. either way, can it at least be rooted on 2.3.5?

Actually it is running 2.3.6 and so far from what I have read, it is much harder to root due to the exploit that was used on the 2.3.5 or earlier has been patched.
I guess we'll just have to wait one of the developers come up with something for this player.
I might just end up returning this player and get an used Galaxy Skyrocket and use that for a media player. It has more storage (16GB), slightly bigger screen (4.5"), better camera and of course LTE when I need to use it as a backup phone.
K I got it now and there is no other page with any information on rooting the4.2 so if a developer sees this could you please start looking into rotting the 4.2
I just talked to a rep from Samsung and she said they have started development on android 4.0 for the 4.2!

Samsung said as soon as possible, meaning 1-2 years after release.

On a more serious note, to answer your question: Sammy' has already started rolling out ICS on its gtabs. So far, the 7 and 7Plus variants have gotten the glory, so 10.1ICS should be home in a week or two. I suspect next week should be 8.9 ICS.
Other than that...sit back, relax, and play monopoly. Sammy' is probably the worst manufacturer to have when it comes to updates.

lg its even worse.. In fact all of them suck lol.. but that's why teams as cyanogen and aokp exist.. so you don't have to wait for oems.. either that or get a Google branded device and flash Google factory images.. so that you will get updates as soon as Google releases it.. I mean even the old grandpa nexus S think that more than 2 years old device already got jb that's because they are Google phones

Hello. I will soon be leaving sprint for verizon and was wondering if I should get the galaxy nexus or the galaxy s 3. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!
Of course go for the s3 the galaxy nexus is nowhere near the s3 in hardware specs and camera and the galaxy nexus only excels in software and in support it uses vanilla android and it already has jellybean but u are a member at xda and u can always search for guides to flash stock vanilla android on s3 i say go for s3

Which would be better for frequently flashing roms and which would head further in development of roms? I understand the galaxy s 3 has a locked bootloader, but will that stop people from developing? Also, when the galaxy s 4 comes out, will EVERYONE stop on the s 3 and go straight for the s 4? I feel like the nexus would keep going. One more thing, what's vanilla android?

How long before you leave? I would try to wait until the next nexus comes out (this is when I plan on getting a new phone).
Google realeases android and every company like htc samsung motorola and sony put their own skins on then like htc has htc sense , samsung has touchwiz , sony has timescape ! The stock vanilla android doesnt have any skin its the original android and the original android is always faster . As for developing and roms i would say go for the galaxy nexus cz its google's flagship device and will always be supported , the galaxy s3 will be supported too and it has more processing power the quad core exynos is the fastest cpu on android phones and the overclocked edition of mali 400 is so fast , but if u are interested in support and roms go for nexus ! What the heck they even ported CM10 jellybean to the outdated nexus one Hit the thanks button if i helped and let me know ur choice

I'm probably eaving within a few months. If the next nexus is out when I switch, I will get that. If it isn't, then I will most likely get the galaxy nexus. Thanks!:good:
