I have Galaxy Note N7000, i am little confused whether to update CM9 or Official Android 4.0.3 ICS firmware which is going to release soon. if have any suggestions please let me know.. Thanks
The official firmware will incorporate most of the features of the stock 4.0.3 but CM9 will also have unique features. If you are a mainstream user the choice comes down to the eye candy really. Flash one and then the other when the stable versions are released, play around with each of them for a day or two and then you can make up your mind. =)
I gave up waiting and touch wiz is awful so i went for the cm9 thats out ust now wich needs some bugs and stuff fixed for my s2
Imho Cm9
If you are already rooted, use CM9. If you update officially while rooted, you will lose root. Then you will have to wait for a root solution to be found for ICS. Some phones went months without root after their gingerbread update.
CM9 will be more powerfull i think, if i were u i could choose CM9.
today i saw video of Galaxy Sll Running ICS 4.0.3 XXKP8 which is official Update. But it looks really Boring. Looks like Gingerbread 2.3.6. i hope samsung wont disappoint Note owners releasing such update.

That is the case when manufacturers add their UI. You are still just going to see touchwiz. The difference will be in the menus. Touchwiz will always be touchwiz, just like HTC Sense will always be Sense. Unless you are using a nexus or an AOSP based ROM such as CM9 you won't see many UI changes between gingerbread and ICS. It will look the same on the Note.
CM9, no doubt about that, Trebuchet is a beautiful launcher
Get CM9 and upgrade to official later.
I am sure official probably has better integration of the pen but idk.
I would go with CM9.

What I suggest is you is to try CM9 first. If you find any features you missed in our Galaxy Note that was in the official firmware that cannot be replicated by any means of any application then wait for Official Firmware.
Eg. I can't live without the brilliant video player so I'm sticking with TouchWiz.

I would go with CM9 and stay with it. Still waiting for CM9 to be available for my EVO. I will be so there.

I did a search on Google on what is next after ICS and some sources are saying "Jelly Bean", now I have to say I am not totally sold yet on ICS because I ran TeamHacksung's builds on a cappy (BTW Great work) and while the developers did a great job I am just not a fan of the overall UI and maybe that's because I was so used to GB. Anyone else hear about JB?

I think you are confused about ICS is. ICS is an upgraded version of the Android Operating System. While ICS does include UI changes (seen mostly in AOSP versions) that is no guarantee Jellybean will..in fact, i'm willing to bet that changes to the UI will be minimal. If you purchase a phone that isn't a nexus running AOSP, you aren't going to see many changes in the UI. You are still going to see your touchwiz, sense, blur, etc. Anyway, the great thing about android is that you can make it look however you want with the unlimited amount of customization options.
Seems too soon for 4.1 already, who knows, it could be a minor build like lowandbehold was saying with minor UI changes.
A new nexus for Jelly Bean too ???

Pretty much guaranteed
any 4.x release will be ICS 5.0+ I would place a wager on the name Jelly Bean. I would hope to see some UI customization, perhaps a few tweaks from Cyanogenmod. (like google kanged everything else in ICS.) for example in 5.0+, custom icons and colors everywhere... one can only hope..
android 5.0 jelly bean
Jelly Bean was unveiled
According to droiddog they are saying Google unveiled Jelly Bean at the MWC, I heard that it was suppose to come out this year as well. That is crazy seeing ICS is not even on 10 devices yet officially.

Well technically they didnt reveal the name of the next OS they just showed jelly beans.
But I for one am expecting it to be 4.1 and not 5.0 like with the 2.x series of updates. It probably will just be some minor tweaks rather than another UI overhaul like ICS was.
I guess key line is in the works to lol

10 devices? I thought it was still only 1 device. Or you mean tablets too?
looks like android jelly bean 4.1 will be introduced tomorrow.
i have a question. if an update becomes available to download through Kies (samsung galaxy S3), would it erase the phone's data completely?
And if so, following a backup, will the data be able to be reinstalled now that a new version of the software may be available?
im just wondering if we will have to go through getting all contacts, facts, apps manually sorted yet again...
thanks
I'm not to "excited" about Jelly Bean.
It'll probably be am update like FroYo. Gingerbread brought UI changes in that chain of AOS Versions.

No, an OTA will not delete your data. Flashing a new rom on a rooted device you almost have to clear data. OTA's are data friendly

That's kind of a stupid statement,***mod edited***... The ICS releases that are out now are just like stock AT&T ota ics... Do you think they're going to change the rom completely or give us aosp ota??? The releases that we have are as close to stock as they are gonna get, only thing they're doing now is getting bugs out or adding apps from the carriers that they want... Have you tried all of the ICS roms out there? I've been running seanz ucle2 ics release rom and I've had absolutely no problems... As long as you read/follow the instructions completely everything should be fine... And thinking about this, the skyrocket is from AT&T not from google so we're never going to get stock ICS ota... OTA releases are not gonna be like aosp, aokp or cm9...
No no no I'm not a dev guys OK I ported the rom and the last release I only helped a bit I been busy on a few projects for the skyrocket community lol but to say the hard work and dedication that actual devs have put in is beneath you is a statement that I can not condone and actually is an insult to this site the roms in the dev section are far beyond what anything Samsung will ever do (/rant)

Hi!
Iam new to android world using a samsung S i897.
I want to install JB and found the slim rom in this (awesom) forum.
The slim version of android is a part of it? What Im missing? There are features that where left out?
Iam confuse on which are oficial versions and how obtain them and which are mods or custom versions. Exist a ICS official rom for my phone? Is better upgrade to that version or the JB slim rom?
Thanks!!!
None of the Galaxy S series of phones are getting official ICS, let alone JB.
So anything for your phone that's ICS or Jellybean is unofficial.
And you should use Slim JB because its waaay better than stock GB and has no bloat, along with performance boosts. Heck, any custom ROM is better than official versions (aside from the usual bugs when they are in early development).

You may want to look at CyanogenMod 9.. or wait around for a CyanogenMod 10
Google it, I can't post links yet..
You can wait (stable) custom jelly bean version if that appear as it is the most recent android version.

The captivate has good jb ROMs such as hellybean or slim bean as you said. But these guys are right, there will never be any ICS or JB official updates for it because its an outdated phone much like the vibrant or original i9000. The closest you get to stock would be slim bean or slim ICS.

Serch normal JB Rom and flash that. Or ICS if you will not find normal stable JB.

I will try that.
Hello everyone, I've got Galaxy S Plus 5 months ago, and I found out that there will be no official ICS or JB update for it, so I am asking is there AOSP version of ICS for this device, not CM or AOKP. If there is I would be thankful if someone could post it here, thanks
You're on the wrong section. But nvm I'll answer. Broodplank was trying to build aosp ics but no success. For now we have no aosp ics or jb. Broodplank announced the aosp ics on one of the comments in the cm7 2.1 thread

We have CM9 and Partially working CM10.
i think thats enough for now. Or can you develop?
A working aosp gb is possible. But afaik a working aosp ics is only possible by porting. But unfortunately i havnt succeeded in that. Same thing for compiling from source.
I need stock, not CM. And AOSP kinda is a stock samsung system

It's not a stock Samsung, it's stock Google/Android. FWIW, it'd be nice to see AOSP, but CM is in general more customizable and advanced.

Well if I intend to sell the phone I wanna sell it with ICS stock look and I want to have ICS because it is a lot faster, GB on my Xperia Mini was slow, after update to ICS it worked much faster, I hope same would be with SGSP, but I can't even update Galaxy to official 2.3.6. I don't know why...I didn't even found official Samsung forum
I just remembered that the first alpha build of jelly bean from vpumpkin was an aosp jb but its not stable and can't make calls. Doomsday released his latest build but was not an aosp. Well if you are pro at making roms then try to take vpumpkin's aosp jb and add in doomsday's fixes to cm10. I don't know but I think its hard to just take cm9 and remove the theme manager
Did some one know that Is the official Jelly Bean update is coming to Asian atrix 2?
As from the China leak version Motorola is developing the jb romantic for atrix 2. Will it loch ota update soon.
Samsung is updating galaxy s 2, and even galaxy ace 2 to jb. Our phone is definitely way better than ace 2.
Is someone have any idea about ota jb update.
Don't think so.

It says:

I still think that means no. I haven't seen anything that would indicate otherwise. However, over in the development section there is Paranoid Android, Magic Mod, CM10, and CM10.1. That's not to mention two JB leaks. You should try any/all of those if you haven't already. In my opinion, the devs here will take far better care of you than Motorola will.

I don't believe in motorola anymore. So, we are not getting that promotion in other countries.
Trading the product is costing more for Motorola hence instead of trading it might think to develop jb for other countries cost less.

Even after conforming that atrix 4G is not even updating to ICS. Still ICS rom is under soak testing. Definitely Motorola is rethinking about update their device.
Well, in whatever way I look at it, Motorola has been true to its word (if only after becoming Googlerola)
As per Google Diktat, they have to provide SW updates for 18 months. They leaked and released ICS and JB now. If you talk about Sammy, then, please note that the 'flagship' Galaxy S2 was only just updated to Jellybean (officially), the S Advance shipped with GB on launch when Jellybean, or atleast ICS was the norm.
Also, see the quality of the update provided. I was appalled to see Jelly bean namesake updates on many a handset, with no optimization as such. This 'Leak' Motorola Jellybean is as good as an official version in my books.Install it, and experience the fluid interface is all I suggest.
Even from when motorola is bought by google we are getting updates with stock ui as in nexus and so I think google is providing updates and hope we get official jb ota
