CM9 or Official ICS 4.0.3 FW??

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.

Android 3.0 even possible on LG G2x?

I'm pretty new to LG G2x, and just wondering if it's even possible to have a ROM based on Android 3 or even 4?

Android 3.0 is only for tablets. So in other words, no. However, several 4.0 ROMs are in the G2x development section such as AOKP and Hellfire Sandwich. Just warning you that they're not as stable as 2.3 ROMs (at least for now.)

3, no. 4, yes and there's already a couple in the dev section.

Next Android 5.0 Jellybean will be for tablets. Android 6.0 Key Lime Pie will be for phones.

Nope.
Jelly bean will be what ics was supposed to do, which was to defragment the os which we know as android and let two become 1. Meaning tablet and smartphone integration, ive read on google that jellybean will support both platforms.

ICS is so beautiful. I can't wait til all sources are released and we can have a stable version! I wonder what JB is going to look and feel like?

Well, I have a G2X with ICS, and an ASUS Transformer running ICS as well, so the "integration" you speak of is happening now. I'm sure there can be refinements, but the OS version is the same; this isn't a feature waiting for the next version, unless I'm just missing what you're trying to say.

I feel like it'll be more like a Froyo -> Gingerbread type change in the looks department.
Rather than a Gingerbread -> Honeycomb type deal.

About jelly bean on galaxy tab plus

Hi guys. I want to ask all who know or have information, we'll have on our tablet the cm10 or the official jelly bean ?
I have own the moto defy and it has cm10. But its hardware is not much powerful as galaxy tab. May be someone devs like aorth will work on the cm10 for our tab.

for me, i quite happy to current ics performance. Jelly bean look nice, but 1 important feature missing is big impact for android user - disable flash support.
so for me, even no jelly bean update for 7+ still fine for me, at least a stable and smooth ics for my 7+ :good:
i don't like custom rom, thats a lot bug and app competible issue, its fun to try and play, but not for daily use

There's already a "hack" for flash on Jelly Bean...

ICS is pretty awesome to me. I'd really like Google Now and the Project Butter stuff in Jellybean, but ultimately the decision to treat 7in tablets as large phones with a phone style interface is very off putting.

Well, me also loving the buttery sleek on 7+ now, but for sure.. smething like jelly bean will surely make our 7+ awesome.. and with flash hack for 4.1 already surfaced d wind.. im more than ready to supply ma dear 7+ with somthing much awesome..

So is there Jelly Bean for Tabplus ???Or is someone working on it???

I've been watching locerra's work on github and it looks like he's been pushing some stuff into a jelly bean branch. I'm assuming he's begun work on it, but until he or Alan further clarify things, take it with a grain of salt.
I also recall someone (Alan perhaps?) mention that our tabs will need some updated drivers and such to fully function and play well with JB, so in other words, we might have to struggle a bit for CM10 like we did with CM9 initially.

ahhh. you ruined the surprise! haha well, just wait and see, there's a comment somewhere on the ohanar/locerra's github saying that he managed to get it booting, but with somethings still broken(my guess, wireless?). anyway, don't push them too hard, let have a stable cm9 first!

If you're looking for core Android without Sense, look here...
4.1 - This one has been worked on fro a few months now. It's not updated often, but people seem to like it from the comments.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942239
4.2 - This one is in early stages of development, but it works pretty darn well. It's not clear if the developer is still working on it anymore or not though. So the state that it's in now may be the state it stays in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103459
Both have a few tweaks, but for the most part they are pure Android without the Sense overlay.
You can also use CyanogenMod CM10 and 10.1 ROMs and make them unction exactly like pure Android by not utilizing any of the special features and options.
If you want JellyBean with Sense...see the earlier comments in this thread. You're out of luck and will continue to be out of luck.

Thanks.

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
