Just received my 7 Plus wifi. So far I like it, although there doesnt seem to be a lot of interest from xda or other forums. Since it was just released today, I suppose I need to be a bit patient. This is the closest forum so I am adding this post here.
I really need a root and adhoc fix so I can use it with my ET4G and sell my ipad!. Also I want to hide the status bar. I may dig into it attempting the 10.1 or 8.9 root, but I have a bit of reading to do on it first.

What processor is in it? Exynos? Tegra? Qualcomm?

Hi there! Can you provide us with a system dump from your tablet? We can help with rooting.

+1 on this , this question is asked allot without any answer and also the benifit of the infrared port , but @the OP are you sure it is the 7plus it is not released yet
Edit : i found the link http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...333M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1320309207&sr=8-2
I ordered it expecting it in about 10 more days or so. Lo and behold I got a shipping notice yesterday.
I have read that it uses the tegra2 processor, but I see no evidence of that. And now I attempt to find it on the web and it is nowhere to be seen.
I will definitely work on getting a system dump tonight after work. I might ask for some help onthis.

The main thing is that you are helping us to get ICS on SGS2, and I Thank you for that. I really hope that you will get us the system dump.
From what i have read, all i need to do is get the sdk installed along with kies, and adb copy system(yea i know, not exact command) One question:do i need to factory reset to protect my personal data?
I may even get this done before tonight at work

I tried a 1280x720 mkv encode with h264 part10 (avc1) with a AC3 audio track and the default video player sliced through it like bu-bu-butter even after fast forwards etc. Oh and it looked beautiful.
If thats not what you wanted let me know.
So now that the 7 plus has had its system dumped, who is gonna help me root this thing this weekend?
Very nice man.
Congrats on your purchase.
I want to sell my 10.1 but would like a bigger screen than the 7 plus but with Exynos.

Thanks, I like it, but I hope development catches on like the acer iconia a100. I would have liked to opt for the 7.7, but I read its not coming to the states and the pricetag will likely be heftier.
I bought it thinking it had a tegra2 but was elated to find it has the exynos.
I think, if I weren't already awaiting the HD SAMOLED+ awesomeness of the 7.7" tab, I'd probably sell my 8.9 now and get a 7 Plus. I've been saying all along that the Exynos is a beast. Tegra2 is a huge disappointment for me...
P.S. I've seen preorders from Expansys and Mobile City of ~$600 - 700 for the 7.7 import. Have my 3G 7.7 preordered now from Expansys. Oh baby! Can't wait!
I just got the Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-mobile
as a free upgrade - I didn't even know what an APP was much less
an Android os. In any event it came with froyo and I ugraded to
Gingerbread 2.3.6 -
I was wondering why I was not getting anywhere with T-Mobil and Samsung
support = now I know I had to find out from my Bank y there mobile app would
not work = phone needs current android OS. Will Android 4.1 work on /B]my phone and where do I get it?
Apparently Samsung is not coming forth as they have Galaxy S 3 coming out
PLEASE DO NOT DELETE -
No... It wont. If the app doesn't work with your phone most likely it's just not supported on your device.

That's very strange that an app wouldn't work for 2.3.6 and only ICS, but no, you can not get Ice Cream Sandwich on your device, as it is not out for the device. If it were to be supported on your device though, it would upgrade in the same manner that you went from Froyo to Gingerbread. I hope this helps.
Thanks guys for the feedback
What bank app is it? All ones I know of work with 2.2 and above so maybe you've been misinformed?

It is PNC Virtual Wallet bank app that allows you to make a mobile check deposit

Welcome, I'm a newbie too, as well as a bit of a stranger to Android (I've always had a Blackberry until a few months ago).
*brofist*
Unfortunately, Samsung (and many other manuf) is pretty bad about releasing Android updates for its devices. If you want a newer version, you will have to root it. If you are ready to learn and get frustrated at times then visit this link about your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G
I recommend becoming very intimate with the steps and reading up on if your device can be un-bricked before starting.
just looked at link and read part of it will finish tomorrow thanks
for the link
Everyone has been a noob some day so for you to star i would recomend you to visit freeyourandroid.com and start watching their wiki and some simple things...after that go to your phone dev section and learn a little bit of it....then root it with the easiest way out there(there are always like 3 ways)...after a week with root try to install a ROM or a kernel or a modem...something easy!! and for your samsung device always see if the part your going to flash is for your device so you dont get a $400 bucks toy
here are my ¢2 cents of help remember to always thank every guy who gives you an answer and welcome
Sent from my €PΩ 4G TØU©H
Since this app has become reason enough to research, have you considered trading out the device for a newer model with T-mobile? May have to shell out some cash, but there are benefits to trading up if you're so inclined.
I had a quick look on Virtual Wallet by PNC from the Market and based from the reviews, it looks like you're not the only one having issue with that app. There's a developer webpage so maybe have a quick look if they are planning to update the app or email them.
Also as linearstream have mentioned, have a good read on that wiki to understand more about your phone. I did the same thing when I started rooting/modding my phone about a month ago. Believe me it's all worth it
I will do thank you
Can't afford right now but will keep as a option - tx for the feedback

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to smartphones. Just got myself an Xperia Play 800i.
You won't be able to run ICS stock, but you may want to check Cyanogenmod and see if your device is under the supported list and see if they are developing and ICS rom for your phone. You may want to get someone a little more technologically advanced to see if they can flash your phone to ICS. I would not recommend doing it yourself as it may result in bricking your phone, or just a lot of frustration and getting no where.

I jumped for joy earlier today when i hopped right onto XDA to do my usual look around the forums for the skyrocket. And right infront of me were the words "ICS for SKYROCKET"
I quickly Downloaded the file and went on my way to wait for my phone to be brought back to me...only to figure out that Rogers users were left out in all this fun and joy
To my understanding, hardware is all the same...
What could possibly be done?
Is it best we wait for a work around or have someone create a custom ROM.
(Sorry guys, im new to this whole kernel/rom/rooting thing )
I think we just gotta stick together and wait it out for silver to get his ICS CWM flashable zip working.
Once that happens... do I need to say it?
hahaha i just read the thread that you referred to...reading that just got my heart pumping. Im so anxious!!
If it works, its another reason to sell my customers on the S2

LOL IKR, I was looking forward to using odin3 last night and my dreams got shattered
Can't wait for Silver to get this live for us. I will proally donate too.
weeeeeee
it looks like he has to do a little more work on it but I'm sure it will be ready tomorrow. I was waiting for him to finish it but I got impatient so I just used the Odin one. Hopefully everyone on Rogers gets ics soon I know how I would be if I was in that position

How are you liking it so far?
I love it so far. I had to do a factory data reset but after that it works flawlessly. The only thing that doesn't want to work is google wallet
still nothing for rogers users
Guys, be patient.
Silver's working as much as he can. It's only been a day.
and why can't we use odin to install this rom?

Because yours has an R at the end of i727
Firmware check wont pass
Check the development forum. There's one rooted ROM for ICS posted that may be worth trying and another one upcoming.

None work. They all have the most ridiculous lag and everything FCs. Takes like 5 mins to click something. I've flashed em all. The only one that boots up nice is the one in the t989 forum but nothing works (no data etc) so we dont have it

It's more than bearable. Very smooth, the bugs that it has seem to be in line with the bugs in the AT&T Odin install. Can't confirm LTE as I don't have it in my area yet.

Is it true that flash doesn't work on ICS. I plan on using the NFL Sunday Ticket on my tablet this year, and I believe it uses flash. If ICS doesn't work with flash then I'm thinking I don't want to upgrade till they get that worked out. Can someone inform me that what I heard is right or wrong?

You heard wrong. Both ICS AND Jellybean are able to use Flash.
The controversy stems from Adobe no longer publishing Flash in the Play Store for 4.1+ devices, and no longer providing support or updates to any devices.
Regardless, it works, will continue to work, and by this time next year Flash, both mobile and desktop, will be a thing of the past anyway. Adobe is run by morons.
I know adobe is only doing bug updates now. My friend just got a nexus with ICS and is having trouble playing any flash video on it. Do you have hands on experience with it in ics on the galaxy tab plus? Here an article from last November about it. It still won't let me post links. So you will need to add the http and www and the beginning.

I bought mine today, it arrives in 2 days.
It would be veeeeeery nice if someone already gives the experience!!!
I mean, things like: use ICS instead 3.2, root, native apps i can remove(if i want), get that app, customs roms doing good, on the right order!
like: first update to ICS, now root, than remove it, get this app, etcc...
and then Ill search how to do it!
thanks!

Use ICS or hate the device...
Do not remove native apps, disable then in the Application sections of the configuration, otherwise you won't be able to apply any further OTA update in your device (altough, after ICS 4.0.4, it is very unlikely that Xoom 2 and Xoom 2 ME will be updated, I would love to be proved wrong on this subject altough)...
