The ICS version of Android has been a pretty strange one from the point of view of upgrades from manufacturers and also of the hacking community that are making custom ROM’s for Android phones, like the CyanogenMod team. That’s because ICS was a huge overhaul of Gingerbread. This is the reason it has taken (some) tablet manufacturers a couple of months to upgrade Honeycomb to ICS, but it has taken at least half a year to even start seeing upgrades from most manufacturers for smartphones. It even took Google itself 4 months to upgrade the Nexus S.
The ROM community didn’t have it any better, and it has taken them until recently to even get in the RC stage for their ROM’s. The camera app has been the hardest to fix for CM9/ICS because Google completely replaced the camera framework, to make it faster and more advanced, and this means that all phones needed new drivers for the camera so the app can work. This means that all the developers making ICS ROM’s had to rewrite the drivers for the new camera app. It’s one of the main reasons why it has taken so long for an ICS ROM to become stable (the same goes for manufacturers).While CM9 will only support a few dozen devices, there are many more developers who are making ROM’s for their own specific phone model, and they are basing those ROM’s on CM9. Why? Simply because of it’s cross-compatibility for many other devices, and its extra features and performance tweaks compared to stock Android.
Google I/O is tomorrow, and we’ll most likely see Android 4.1 not only announced, but also released, which means that the CM team will have no time to rest and will have to get started with adding the Android 4.1 improvements to CM9, or whatever they will be calling it (CM9.1, CM10 ?). They’ve already reached the RC1 stage for several devices today, and this version is coming for more next week.The RC1 stage is the one after beta, so unless some last-minute bugs show up before the stable release, it should be released a few weeks later.
The list of devices currently supported include devices such as the
Samsung Galaxy S,
Galaxy Tab,
Captivate,
Galaxy S II,
Galaxy Note,
Nexus S,
Galaxy Nexus,
LG Nitro HD,
Optimus Sol,
ASUS EeePad Transformer,
Transformer Prime,
Sony Xperia ray,
Xperia mini,
Xperia active,
HTC Sensation and many more..
Hold your horses buddy, we need to have stable & working ICS in the first place to even think about getting Jelly Bean.
Let's also see what Jelly Bean is all about. Some of the speculations are Google's own Voice Assistant, Chrome out of beta, UI changes.
according to gsmarena Android 4.1 is not a big upgrade from ICS they are just replacing the Stock Android browser with Google Chrome as default browser....
Lets wait see what's new in 4.1......

Yes s2 and s3 do deserve...coz
1. They were/are flagship product
2. Millions of user, larger user base.

4. People have paid more that 30k
5. Plus not from a company point of view, but they have greater dev support (its all interlinked... flagship == larger support)
Wat else do you want ??
Does R stand anywhere there ??
:silly::silly::silly::silly:
More Over remember one thing....once s2 is updated to JB, then samsung wont even consider s2..
I mean SGS2 would be treated d same way as SGS was treated by not updating to ICS.
Samsung is money minded and doesn't care about its customer. s2 will get updates till s3 doesnt takes off pretty well in all countries and carrier and den tata bye bye s2..!!

No, there's not such ROM... developpers still work on Froyo... the others wander whether G3 supports or not Gingerbread and whether Samsung will support or not Gingerbread on G3...
Samsung won't release gingerbread for our phones, I can guarantee you that. We're lucky if we get froyo.
First, is the hardware limitation
Second, there's no point for samsung to officially release it to our phone. We're not paying them anything anymore, It's much more profitable to release a new phone with gingerbread in it. That's how biz-nes works.
@thom47 there is NO hardware limits... if phone runs froyo it can also run gingerbread

I agree,
a stable Froyo + some usable custom ROM is much more important then still a newest version.
There are not significant advantages - and our hardware (no 3d acceleration, no JIT) has its limits

The answer should be No......
ICS is supported by the smartphones which can handle Gingerbread...
because it is said that both have same requirements...
According to samsung ...our G3 is not designed for GB update....
So how can they update it to ICS ????
Even i would be too happy if i get wrong in the future.....but sadly we think that there will be no GB as well as No ICS update for G3

Ics stands for Ice Cream sandwitch...
its the next update from Google...After gingerbread(GB)...
Froyo>>>GB>>>ICS
100% sure we are not going to get it officialy. we didn't get GB, how do we expect to get ICS? I doubt that samsung galaxy S will get updated to 4.0 by greedy samsuck. they will make the new nexus, it will have 4.0 exclusively for like 6 months, and then they will update SGSII after 6 months of their customers crying for an update... Samsung has no love for their customers, especially for those with less money. We can only hope that our devs can make a port of ICS. GO DEVS!
bro..,,who said we dont get ICS...
samsung galaxy mini which is lower config than galaxy 3... got gingerbread update...
what the hell....why we dont get any gingerbread or ICS...update...
very disappointed with...SAMSUNG...very poor support...
answer is no , we will not get ICS
ICS is supported by the smartphones which can handle Gingerbread...
too bad that we will not have a sandwich, but also too good that we have wonderful Devs to port it
Maybe we can port a cyanogenmod ics if ready...?
well, i read that gingerbread has the same system requirements as froyo, so it could handle ics as well. but i bet we'll never see an official update from our dearest company, samsung, so... maybe somebody will port it.
hope dies last...
Our phone can handle gingerbread (we have cm7 that is 2.3.5, remember?), if it can handle gingerbread it can handle ICS. Problem is samsung want's you to buy a new phone witch has ICS preloaded. Most of the current smartphones that have gingerbread won't get ICS just because the manufacturers want you to buy a new phone every half year.
i really like samsung phones, but the back-up and service from samsung after you have parted with your money is pretty dire, almost as bad as their wonderful kies program!
i think that the company like most companies aim to profit, so they make cheap phones so we buy it, and provide little support so we buy another cheap phone with the latest updates and so on, but thank god we are talking about android here, so we have devs that we support to port the newest updates
go devs yeaaah
v definetly wont be getting ICS at all

do you know that many phones having much lower specs than galaxy 3 are running gingerbread as smooth as Froyo eg. Wildfire
& in the official launch of gingerbread it was started that if your phone can run Froyo it can run gingerbread smoother than it.
"Galaxy 3 us not upgradeable"that's what the Samsung is selling us,N'djamena those *****es care only for the the pre profit they can generate, which acc. To them would be affected as consumers wouldn't buy new launches.
I tell you G3 can run gingerbread & may be ICS also.. You want proof? Its already running 2.3.5 CM7..
BUT, if you expect it will official it is no neuter than a day-dream..
So, better request our AWESOME DEVELOPERS TO PORT IT & SUPPORT THEM IN ANY WAYS WHEN YOU CAN IN THIS ENDEAVOUR!

apparently there are no major perfromance increases in ICS but mostly just UI changes so this increases hope for us....besides, phones like the lg optimus one can run honeycomb itself so, evn tho the G3 is a less performing than the lg O1, it shud b able to support ICS
G3 may get ICS in form of CM9 (depends on marcelusbe ).
I have read on CM forum that CM9 (will be based on ICS) can run on all the fone which has -
RAM : 256 MB
Phone must have GPU
lets hope for the best.
ics does run better.. gingerbread and ics are designed to run faster.. even on low end phones but we will have to port it.. samsung wont:S

Actually, they just pushed back the release date for ICS recently. We were supposed to get it in mid-march, but the WT19i will get it around end of may/early june. I bought my SE WT19i because they promised the upgrade for ICS, but two weeks ago they mentioned that if they couldn't make their rom perfect, they would even skip the 2011 line, and give ICS only for the 2012 line.

One one hand that sucks, but given what I saw on Sammy's Touchwiz version of ICS it could be for the best. Sorry have not played with the Xperia line, don't know how Sony UI is. They seemed a little more concerned with refinement. But all OEMs are dragging their feet on this.

U r not getting the point ...when Samsung releases a rom or the libs , XDA devs can work full-on on custom roms like cm9,aokp etc ...no one cares for Samsung's roms we want the libs and some base ics rom to start off with...
Our cm9 port is yet to get a working camera and everyone is going crazy asking for ETAs
you know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB

I have the Galaxy tab (first generation).
What Samsung said about Honeycomb: The size of the screen, 7''. (!?!?!?!?!?!?!?)
What Samsung said about ICS: Hardware. (!?!?!??!)
What I say for samsung: No more. Asus and Sony, wait for me.
PS: Samsung will do nothing, the only thing that wants is MONEY, MONEY AND A LOT OF MONEY.

You obviously have much better understanding then some of those who are new XDA, most likely because you own a device directly affected. Of course I and evolsam don't know all the nuances like you do. I myself only just noticed the SGS2 ICS ROMs are not as refined yet as the GSS ICS ROMs. The Galaxy S has had to port over most of the ROMs. Which has gone over quite well so why would it not seem like an answer for other Galaxy devices like the Ace and W. Barring an explainantion, the need for code source release in these cases is not something that is readily apparent.
Anyways I now know, and of course I'll sign, anything to aid the devs. That's all you needed to say or anyone needed to say. Maybe more like evolsam will then too.

Hi All,
hope you all just fine, and rocking with your tabs.
I just want to share the news that samsung starts rolling Android 4.2.2 update for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100), with features from GS4 and so on.
I think we have the chance to get updated too, we much premuim software.
as for P6810, samsung might passed 4.1.2 to update you with 4.2.2 .. I know that all of you are pissed, but i think it's possible for you too.
Have a great time with your Tabs all :good:

I love how they are pushing all these updates for the 2nd biggest turd of a tablet they make...... Yet they took a shovel and covered up the 6810 with a pile of dirt. Ya know, while they are at it..........Why dont they revive the Samsung Moment slider phone and shove JellyBean on it too. Hooray for that!!!!

We have not even got Jelly Bean for the 6810 yet. Samsung are hopeless.
I dont think that we will see further updates for the Galaxy Tab 7.7.
I assume that neither JB for 6810 nor some other JB Versions for 6800 wil be released by Samsung.
Really poor...

The 4.1.2 they released for the 6800 caused a number of issues, and seemed rushed out the door.
With the recent upgrades to 4.2.2 (Tab 2 7) , and the fact that Samsung already mentioned that dual-core based system will end with 4.2.2, I'm hoping that they have decided to skip 4.1.2, and provide one last update to 4.2.2
Having said that, I don't see myself buying other Samsung products. For what seems forever, service provider & manufacturer's blame each other, for the slow pace of updates.
This and other issues (Apple injunctions, etc.) are not valid arguments, where Wi-Fi only devices are concerned. If you sell a premium product for a premium price, then you should support it.
FWIW I've been running the 4.1.2 ROM for some time now and it's been fine. Yes, the 7.7 is EOL. But then even as is I still use it daily. Fine tab. Does everything I require for entertainment. Actually, while I'm sure I'll go through many tabs in the future I somehow doubt I'll part with the "little tab that scared Apple". lol
Sure, 4.2.2 or even 4.3 would be cool but really. Some slick extras, yes, but anything "killer"? IMHO, not really. If a device does what I need it to in a manner that I find satisfying,it's a "win". Do I agree with Samsung "flooding" the market with ten and one half dozen versions of the Note, Tab or whatever? Not really but then I ain't in charge there. Let form follow function. Get a device that does what you want and when/if upgrades come down the pike...all the better!

FWIW I've been running the 4.1.2 ROM for some time now and it's been fine. Yes, the 7.7 is EOL. But then even as is I still use it daily. Fine tab. Does everything I require for entertainment. Actually, while I'm sure I'll go through many tabs in the future I somehow doubt I'll part with the "little tab that scared Apple". lol
Sure, 4.2.2 or even 4.3 would be cool but really. Some slick extras, yes, but anything "killer"? IMHO, not really. If a device does what I need it to in a manner that I find satisfying,it's a "win". Do I agree with Samsung "flooding" the market with ten and one half dozen versions of the Note, Tab or whatever? Not really but then I ain't in charge there. Let form follow function. Get a device that does what you want and when/if upgrades come down the pike...all the better!
Just my two cents.

Yeah, as someone who just took the plunge to do a self-update to 4.1.2 I can say that the Tablet is still absolutely great to use, even if not the latest Android version.
However, as it was sold as such a premium product, Samsung SHOULD have kept it up to date with Android releases. The JB 4.1.2 is pretty much unofficial and is an 'at your own risk' option for most users (and some have experienced real problems).
Whilst I love the hardware dearly, seeing Samsung abandon it like they did has given me pause about buying more Samsung Android devices. I recently upgraded my phone and chose a Sony product instead of the various Samsung offerings (e.g. S4 mini in my case) specifically because I just do not trust Samsung to issue timely updates or even keep supporting their devices properly. Also it doesn't help that Touchwiz is not a great UI customisation - the Sony effort is much better - and frankly I'd have went for something pure Android like a Moto G if it had supported MicroSD. I'm about to buy a large 10" tablet and I won't even consider Samsung, it'll be between the Sony Tablet Z and probably the new Nexus 10 if Google ever release it....
Samsung really owe it to the 7.7 userbase to do one last update to at least 4.3, preferably 4.4 KitKat. Remember that the Tab should really have shipped with ICS but it wasn't ready so Honeycomb 3.2 was just a placeholder, ergo I wouldn't even count the long-delayed 4.0.4 release as an update. Given that 4.1.2 was only for a few Aisan markets, for most global users the 7.7 has never received a true update. Shame on you Samsung!!!!

Absolutely agree! Have you tried Danielhk's 4.4 ROM? Installed in a few days ago and it's pretty awesome!
As far as updates if I recall correctly the 7.7 was THE tab that scared hell outta Apple moving them to ramp up suing Samsung. I can imagine Samsung pulling back on updates for that reason possibly? Still screws over the people who shelled out $500-$600+ for the tablet though.
But then now with the 4.4 port from Daneilhk.....the GTab 7.7 just shines!!!
Its interesting comments which I think many agree with. To get ourselves to 4.1.2 most people around the world
with a few exceptions of the Asian counties, had to do a manual flash. Our device is still very capable as compared
to older and current devices. Yet we need some movement with the software.
My recent email to Samsung didn't offer much help. They said that no planned software update is known for this tab
and that my tab should still be using Android 3.2.
I didn't bother to make further contact, in fact my tab is supposed to be on Official ICS. As far as I've been
able to gather, 4.2.2 seems the most stable as reported below. I'm hoping to replacement my current 4.1.2
with this soon. Most of all I want stability, without much missing functions or problems and of course
having a p6800 device, we need sim access, calls and mobile data.
4.3 / 4.4 just seems to far away for the near future. Maybe we'll have a final kit kat for christmas
next year before everyone retires from the 7.7 development. We can hope (but our prayers won't change samsung's minds)

Hi All,
hope you all just fine, and rocking with your tabs.
I just want to share the news that samsung starts rolling Android 4.2.2 update for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100), with features from GS4 and so on.
I think we have the chance to get updated too, we much premuim software.
as for P6810, samsung might passed 4.1.2 to update you with 4.2.2 .. I know that all of you are pissed, but i think it's possible for you too.
Have a great time with your Tabs all :good:

no problem, with the litigation with Apple, Samsung has discontinued development.
Then when it was decided that Samsung could continue to sell the device, it was too late.
My opinion is that it promises to take legal action. In January I will start. I'm not used to being fooled in this way.

There are lots of regions which Samsung have ignored. We can wait but if not new Official Jellybean for 7.7 Users by August 2014 then I think its safe to assume samsung will leave its customers out in the cold. Do we really want wait 8 months for Jellybean though?
I suspect that if Daniel's 4.4 becomes fully functional and stable we might just say you know what, Samsung... don't bother. Still if you can live with custom roms 4.2.2 is stable but you certainly need an additional memory mod like Pure performances to help speed it up and avoid lag, its where I'm @, Might be keeping still for now.

Not just regions, but whole device models !.......... P6810 & Verizon models left out in the cold
I'm over it. Samsung's track record indicates there won't be any 4.2.2 update for any model.
For those still procrastinating (don't mean you @xaadilhx, just move on and appreciate what users in our forum make with what we've got to work with.

Don't you find it funny that after 2 years from the 7.7 release. Apple came out with the mini which is a blatant ripoff of the 7.7.
And now they have the iPad Air which is just a bigger version of the 7.7. COPYCAT!
Exactly my feeling. Samsung should be brave and release a 7.7 2. But in the android update market Samsung sucks big time.

Your 7.7.2 already exists and is called Galaxy Tab pro 8.4 and the cost is about $400 or 386 € for the Wifi only model.
Actual size is slightly bigger than 7.7, so too big for me, so I'll wait after the Huawei Mediapad X1 which offers LTE for the same price as a 7" device.

No AMOLED on the Tab Pro makes it an imperfect replacement. If you want a LCD screen, you can think about the Tab Pro or the Xperia Z Ultra (called a phablet, but at 6.4 inches it's a very good small tablet)
Samsung Android V4.2.2 for GT-P6810?
Yep, and we are still waiting.
Any news on the V4.2.2 front ?

Cyanongen mod kitkat-isn't made, 5 day and any nightly build, the AOKP same, Paranoid 4 for Nexus is, and for us too most isn't present), Slim for nexus too is, for us isn't present, Pac rom too for us isn't present. It is asked, and whether generally there will be Kitkat? Really never android 4.4 Kitkat on our device will be or it is possible to go on Ebay and to sell it for 20-50 dollars, all the same it it is necessary to nobody, and then to take the credit?
If I understand you correctly, you're asking if kitkat will come to the galaxy tab or if you should sell it. Pac - rom developers on this forum have stated that they are working on porting 4.4,but they said it will take some time.

Whether it is worth waiting 1-2 weeks of the first build or directly to sell and buy that doesn't take a steam bath and not to wait for years of new Android versions from "unoffical teams"?

To speak and I can. Where it is possible to look at any build Pac-rom andoid 4.4 kitkat at least? From where to download? Or nevertheless directly to sell and buy a pad from Google (Galaxy Nexus threw, Nexus s threw) / Apple/Microsoft then not to complain on forum:threw a device.

You are just a two post old and you are behaving like you have installed all the updates.
Though that is not of concern here. Its patience. Keep faith in these unofficial team as they do lot more better job than any official at Samsung or for that matter any other company. I am sure very soon there will be some great dev who will port the 4.4 for our beloved tab 2. Though if you are in hurry sell your tab 2 and buy the nexus 7.

And that, already bothered to wait sitting on ICS the new Android version - kitkat (Key Lime Pie in due time), as ICS is already obsolete, and on glyuchny, slowly semi-operating as JB to sit of desire isn't present. And here, again to wait 5.0? ICS already threw, and to put glyukavy, slowly, полуработающй, even with curve animation of JB of desire isn't present. Already ICS everywhere press, and KitKat on which I возглал all hopes on the fact that at least time I will see Rom working normally suddenly are postponed? What horror, how many still to wait for normal Kitkat on which at least it will be possible to sit normally the long time?

It is simpler to sell Tab 2 and to buy Nexus 7, after all Unoffical team (Like PecanCM, etc.) won't be able to make AndroidArmv6 Team to us the worker 4.4 as at informal commands as a rule hands from ass grow.

P.S: I respect u and wish that u also respect all devs who are doing this hard work in their free time.

Yes, I use PROMT Translator, as not the Englishman, and Russian. The Russian alcoholics (of which in the country of 95%) don't want to do Kitkat for Tab. And especially disappointed foreign, I thought though - any hope of them though I will deliver Kitkat and I will breathe sigh of relief. No. And they throw.
I have NO IDEA what you are saying.
But, if you want Kitkat, WAIT. It will come eventually.
If you don't want to wait, sell your Tab. Get Nexus 7.
I have no idea, but I found this news.

Feller121 - It seems like you are here only for bashing the devs. This kind of attitude does not help the community as everyone here is creating custom roms as pastime and not expecting anything in return. Wait dude, you will not be disappointed.
But the odd thing is:We appearently have excellent devs,but as many news about 4.4 kitkat releases for xperia z,moto x,galaxy nexus,i am beginning to question that.People have lives,yes.And if someone could make a simple way to make our pcs build latest releases for us over sources,instead of the "simple" build guides that have over 50 steps and things needed to make the building work.It would take me 3 months to learn all of that...
I guess if nexus 10 didnt get 4.4,our tablets will have to wait for a long time
