Hey guys, I know this has probably been asked before but what do you think the future holds for the galaxy tab 7" ?
With Honeycomb looking like its not coming (officially anyways) and gingerbread still being a smartphone OS, do you think perhaps Ice Cream Sandwich will bridge the gap?
I love the Galaxy Tab as it is but keep in mind thats its not offering a true tablet experience, and i dont want to come across as domeone who doesnt enjoy it, I do, however I am interested in future devrlopment.
Cheers.

Honeycomb with eventually be ported and working well, other wise just use cm7 with tablet tweaks, maybe one day Samsung will update to ice cream, but who knows when that will happen, tho they did roll out gingerbread "fairly" quick
I can see a update to HC, I mean I love the GTab, I use it more then my xoom b.c of its perfect size.

Has Gingerbread been release for T-mobile or am I waiting for T-mobile to release GB?
I hope Samsung atleast release HC if not ice cream.

Any device released with froyo will never have an official HC update, Google said that.

False.
Honeycomb is only for tablets.
Ice cream sandwich will be the next update, but I don't think the tab will get it.
The Nexus One will get ICS though, and it launched with Eclair.

No way Samsung updates the tab 7 to ice cream sandwich. It will have to come from an amazing developer around here

I'm fine with Froyo honestly, though wouldn't mind GB or HC
Using a custom 1.4 Ghz rom and is as fast if not faster than my ipad
Not that fussed about HC now after playing with it on the Nook. Icecream wouldn't be bad to get the new 'toys' appwise, but the UI? I prefer the 2.x style tbh. I think it works better for 7".
Now, I CAN see Samsung releasing a NEW 7" Tablet with updated gfx core running Icecream, with a thinner form factor too.
Dunno, see how it goes, but what we've got works and works rather well I think.
With ice cream sandwich coming out at the end of the year, does galaxy tab not qualify for it? As far as i know its within the 18 period for upgrades as specified by google. Or am i completely wrong on the release date?

i don't think so. even honeycomb will not come in our tab officially but thanks to Spacemoose1 we will have HC soon.
I dont think so either.. I got my tab 6 months ago and feel like its already outdated by the dual cores out now like the xoom and new galaxy tab 10 and with the new icecream comming up I dont think that itll be getting the update.. Also by hearing talk of quad cores coming out.. Im not 100% but I have read they want to push the new android cause the new apple os they want android phones n tabs based on the same instead of froyo n gingerbread on phones and honeycomb on tabs. Who knows we might end up seeing it... Until they announce it we wont know for sure.
Galaxy Tab is a high end device, samsung should take care of their high end customers.
If not, there is CyanogenMod. I get android 2.3.5 faster than Samsung's release
I might get Ice Cream Sandwich faster than Samsung release as well
Guys, we will always get faster releases from Spacemoose, the CM team, ect, as it pertains to the Galaxy Tab. Unfortunately, the device was "dead on arrival", and has seen almost zero support from the carriers or Samsung. I firmly believe that (while the Tab is spectacular) it was nothing more than a "feeler"… a test product, thrown into the market, in order to guage the public's desire for tablet devices. I'm pretty sure that the 10.1, Xoom, and other tablets were already being tested when the 7" Tab came out, and that it was always the plan to make the 10" tablets the real "powerhouse" devices. Fortunately, we have great devs on XDA, who thumb their noses at Samsung's lack of support, and work hard to get us at least one or two really excellent ROMs. No doubt, we will never see a Honeycomb or ICS OTA, but Space is working to complete the Honeycomb 3.2 port, and I'm sure we'll see an ICS firmware almost as soon as it drops! Happy flashing guys!!

What are your thoughts? Is it possible? I think the hardware is capable of handling ICS, and I would love to have GPU-acceleration. I knows in some unofficial way there will be ICS(CM7 for example) but if Samsung decides to release it official then it show that they still care.
I think yes,we will be getting ICS.But we will have to wait few months after google offcially releases ICS

Considering the sgs2 is already out and quite successful, I personally doubt the sgs1 will get ICS from Samsung.
Of course getting ICS ROMs from XDA devs is another thing completely, and is pretty well certain.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Maybe thats what they are working on and why we have nothing new since JVR?
from what ive know samsung was undecided if sgs1 hardware is enought for ics just few months ago,
but at the same time if it would be ok they wanted ics on sgs1
we saw screenies from first alfa compiles for nexuss that is basicly sgs1 with nfc and flashlight so i hope that it is only a matter of time that they will start working (or already started) on a sgs1 version
will be the same as with ginger, first hopefully very early leak (as with jv1)
then months of developing with leaks here and there to forums to iron bugs in mass testing
and after a half of year first pushes (so probaby first leak ~january and around may july first official ones)
sure the process will go faster fo new nexusprime and sgs2 as those are the main devices now
but where to iron most bugs like on a well known device (i hope) hhe
I think no u.u maybe the galaxy s2
From my Galaxy S
Google stated on the IO, that devices capable running Gingerbread is also capable running ICS.
OK, I'll ask ..... what is ICS?

sony ericsson said that every xperia from 2011 will get ics. the arc is weaker than galaxy s,so it should run perfectly on our sgs.
sony ics? nono
[Updated] Sony Ericsson Promises 2011 XPERIA Line Will Get Ice Cream Sandwich, We Try To Act Skeptical
Sony Ericsson: No Decision Has Been Made To Bring Ice Cream Sandwich To Xperia Devices
I personally dont think Sony Ericsson will abandon Xperia Arc, Neo etc, I think they'll get ICS and I really hope Samsung also release it for SGS, I think the hardware can manage it perfectly
Hmm 2.3.4 is released for SGS2, i still have not recived official 2.3.4 here in sweden..very odd
The thing is, even if our galaxy s does get ics, it might not work flawlessly. On eclair, the galaxy s had around 200Mb of RAM on boot, while on froyo it had around 160Mb or RAM. However, on gringerbread, it only has about 120-140Mb of RAM upon boot, and after just a day of usage, it can drop up to 80-90Mb, causing the phone to operate rather slowly, something which did not happen when I was on froyo. So, my fear is that the RAM requirements of the ics might be a tad too high for the galaxy s to handle for long term usage.
I agree with rschenk. I think hardware is not a problem about Galaxy S but when I saw how long we have been waiting for gingerbread... Maybe official release ICS for Galaxy S will be a year after google release the ICS SDK.

Not true, we have JVS based on 2.3.5

There is always a solution. Look what they did with HTC Desire to get gingerbread, they removed some integrated programs to free up ram, same thing could be done with SGS
As already said they could just clean some useless stock apps (there are enough ) and then we'll have no problem with RAM.
Looks like we will get it.
http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile...xus-one-and-most-gingerbread-phones-20111019/
of course we will
that was obvious as soon as the leaked ICS video emerged running very well on Nexus S preceded with screenshots of system settings/system info also from Nexus S - everything that runs there runs easily on SGS1 - it was rumored that it will run on almost every device capable running GB - it just got confirmed
after Galaxy Nexus it will be first (at least officialy) SGS2 / Nexus S / Galaxy Note probably and then Nexus One and SGS1
there will be no official ICS prior to Galaxy Nexus Premiere
but i belive in leaks so we might get some early build leaks
but that will be best guarded scret of Samsung/Google till then =)
As first:
We will use icecream and jellybean and later on our device. %100.
Cyanogenmod?
Samsung will release Ice Cream for our devices too.. It's %100 and I think we will get ice cream earlier than SGS2! Look how we get 2.3.5 earlier. That's not %100. But that's; We will use a few more updates on our devices.
So ICS just got previewed in Hong Kong as part of the Samsung x Google event.. looks really good... how long does it usually take to get a stable rom of a major firmware release up and running?

Stable? Sdk ports won't be stable mate, they might work... But they certainly won't be stable
CM7 FTW @ SGS - Tapatalk
ICS requirements are still up in the air, and that will dictate what and how much can be ported over.
In the mean time check out the ICS launcher in the market. Google won't let you download it from the market, but you can still get it from the dev website...

Can't wait to get ICS running on Galaxy S I9000...
Google confirms Nexus S will get Ice Cream Sandwich -- for real this time (Gingerbread devices, too)
Okay, so we've already seen Ice Cream Sandwich running on the Nexus S, but that was decidedly... unofficial. We've just heard straight from Google's Gabe Cohen that the Nexus S will definitely be getting ICS. In fact, both he and Matias Duarte think most Gingerbread devices will see an upgrade, saying: "Currently in the process for releasing Ice Cream Sandwich for Nexus S. Theoretically should work for any 2.3 device." It's hardly a surprise and there's no specific word on timing just yet, but hopefully it won't take long to move that vanilla Android device up to something with a breaded exterior.
see in Engadget...
I just read @ android central that Google is in the process of getting ICS ready for the Nexus s. Our I9000 would be certainly capable of handling it but without the bootloader,kernel or drivers all we would have is a test rom.
Let's hope Sammy gives us a sweet farewell with one last os upgrade.

I will expect one (at least beta stage) before Christmas, otherwise I will have a galaxy nexus for my Christmas present.
Won't the next version of cyanogen be built on ICS?
Well in theory we now have confirmation that our hardware can handle ICS no problem. Beyond that, be it through Samsung, a clever dev or Cyanogen, ICS will be hitting the GS. Sooner than most might think.

ICS 4.0 confirmed for all phones that are Gingerbread compatible
so it'll be just a matter of time
Is There a Rom for us sprint gt people running 3.0. Seems like 2.3 is becoming obsolete for all the good things. Please reply if you know anything about this.thank you much

From what I have seem we won't be getting that anytime soon. It took such a long time just to get the stable roms we have now.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
there is an unofficial port of 4.0 (ice cream sandwich) being worked on HARD by volunteers in the SGT dev forum. it's booting but it's very early alpha and most things (wifi, gsm, etc.) don't work... if you give them a little time to polish it, from the progress made, i'd expect a stable version ready for beta testing inside of a month.
as for official upgrade, samsung hasn't said that it's NOT comming, however, I wouldn't hold my breath as these devices are now over a year old and the tablet / phone market goes so fast that I don't think that they are going to be releasing any updates to devices as old as the sgt. luckily, it's more or less a well documented platform with lots of great community support, and the dev guys on xda are pretty amazing hackers so there are currently quite a few aftermarket unofficial gingerbread-based roms which add many additional features, additional stability, and i find a few of them (overcome, cyanogen) actually operate far better than the samsung official roms. I would expect that the normal community development teams will be working to bring us fully working ice cream sandwich roms in the near future, so sit tight, it's coming
The fact that you're running 3.0 at all is probably about as far as ROM development is going to go on that front. As for an official upgrade, Samsung have said there will *not* be an ICS upgrade for the original Galaxy Tab. Every other member of the Tab line will get the upgrade but the original was deemed too old and too underpowered for official upgrades.
