Hi,
As the title suggests, do we have any official word on when ICS will be released by Samsung. Earlier the announcements suggested that it should drop sometime in March, and since it's the beginning of the month I was just getting slightly (and unashamedly) excited about it.
I did try the RocketRom and to be honest it still feels like the stuff designed for early adopters with issues reported, and loads of CWM flashes. I don't really mind the TWLauncher and this is my first Android device, so I'll stick with Sammy's offerings.
P.S. I did search but couldn't find a relevant article. Please delete this question if it has already been asked. (And please point where to look)
Thanks,
T I M
no set date, sometime in the next few months i woudl have thought
Between April - May, depending of your carrier.. and all ICS related posts here :

Some updates from Pocket Lint -
UPDATE 3: Samsung Israel has revealed that Ice Cream Sandwich updates will begin next week on 15 March. Speaking via its Facebook page, it said: "We promised that we are working about that. You have waited patiently. And it's coming in March 15: Android version 4, ICS, for tens of thousands of the Galaxy S2 owners that purchased it from the cellular company in Israel or directly from us. We are very excited in here towards the launch, hope that you too "
UPDATE 4: Samsung has issued the following statement on its official blog:
"The upgrade will begin in European countries including Poland, Hungary, Sweden, as well as Korea today and gradually roll out to other markets. Android 4.0 ICS software upgrade for GALAXY Note, GALAXY SII LTE, GALAXY Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will follow soon."
UPDATE 5: In a specific statement to Pocket-lint Samsung has said:
“Samsung UK can confirm that the roll out of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) on Galaxy S II will be available from week commencing 19t March," it said. "However the availability of software upgrades in the UK will be dependent upon each network’s own software approvals process.”

(Sorry for my english...)
I don't think the Vivo leak will be the final build...it had a lot of odd things like old launcher, duplicate apps, odd power management things, etc.
Usually the build that Moto tests in public themselves is almost near final, I think that whatever build they will be testing will be better than what we have already.
so long, wow

First O2 Germany beta test results
At android-hilfe.de there's a thread for the O2 Germany Froyo beta test. The results are not very promising: Moto ist still using the APAC kernel which is known to have a bug with the display driver (DSI errors in dmesg logs). On some phones this bug is causing crashes.
Some users report that their Milestone is sometimes lagging. Overall many people are quite angry now. After waiting for nearly a year, Moto finally delivers a buggy ROM...
I will stay with CM.
Same here, I'm fed up with waiting and now on iceandfire/CM7 since a week or so. Why bother waiting for a buggy Froyo, when I can also have a (more or less buggy) Gingerbread?!
Still, it's a shame that Moto can't get its act together
Looks like they will be rolling out Froyo at the same time this forum has finished rolling out the bugs from gingerbread

buggy beta = final Froyo release
Hi,
some guys from the German O2 beta test reported that the Froyo beta will become the finale version despite of reported problems.
Moto stated on the beta test forum:
This software has been approved for distribution by o2 and Google. This
pre-release is a test to ensure there are no catestrophic failures. As of
right now there are no plans to provide newer software. We are however
investigating the issues that have been reported.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note the limitation only on "catastrophic failures"
That is: about 3 month after the Gingerbread release we finally will get the update to Froyo which is still buggy...
And Moto tells us their quality management is satisfied if there's no "catastrophic failure". It took nearly a year of development to reach this point.
Hey guys ive done quiet a bit of searching trying to find any news or how to's on updateing/upgradeing the OB to gingerbread 2.3 but sadly havnt been able to find much at all & so im just woundering if anyone here knows of any methods or ways of possibly getting gingerbread on your phone.
The phone it self seems great & have had it for around a week now , Just would really like to have gingerbread 2.3 on this sexy beast.

Nova ROM is a modified ROM based on original V10C from LG. It is faster than stock one and also doesn't include all that unuseful stuff that stock ROMs have.
To flash a modified ROM breaks the warranty, but there are methods to flash the origin ROM and return to the begining.
In order to flash Nova ROM, you have to:
- root your phone
- install rom manager and then install ClockWorkMod Recovery.
- Download nova rom and flash it through CWM
Search how to root your specific software version and once root it's easy. RomManager can be installed from Market and once installed it downloads the last CWM for your device, installs it and let you reboot into recovery. Then, with your rom in .zip format inside your sdcard is very easy to flash it.
Search!!!
well i've heard september since june and have thought ok that means october-november but i think they'll actually get it out in september.
I know there are many threads asking the same question, and I've looked through many, but still haven't find an answer to my problems.
Just to clarify, my phone is not rooted, nor flashed, and I'm planning to leave it that way as long as possible, unless I really can't find any other solution for upgrading my phone
I've bought my phone in December, sim free, at mobile phone store in Serbia, and judging by the manuals language that I got in the box, its most likely imported from Hungary.
As soon as I've powered it on and connected to internet, I've got an update (OTA), which I installed as soon as I got home and plugged the phone to charger. Since then, I haven't got a single update, whenever I manually check I get "No updates!", and Kies says I have latest firmware, but im stuck on KK5 :S
It not big deal for now (even though I see that many people report improvements in newer firmwares, and I would also like that), but what about the ICS upgrade that will come in next month or two ?
Is there any way to force update, without flashing it manually or rooting the phone, or I'm stuck with this for good?
Is there anyone I can contact regarding this question who can give me any estimations ? Who is responsible for updates for sim free phones ?

If samsung have not still released new Firmware for your area, you won't get it.
Samsung never announce regarding release date for any ROM, Any region. You have to just wait till you get it.
Nobody can give you exact date of ICS release. wat we hearing is you can consider as Rumor.
You have always option to update your device manually. You can find all details in links of my signature.
May be CEO samsung Mr. H. B. Lee can answer, but i dont know how to contact
Thanks for your reply!
Well, I've read all your tutorials for now, and I will use them when I decide to start with rooting + flashing
What about that region changing ? There is no possibility to change region and get updates ?

Ya, you can change the region, but you'll wipe your phone.
Sorry to hijack the thread.
my 'about phone' is exactly the same as OPs, to the last detail. My handset was bought in the UK, and is unrooted as yet.
I'm on XEU csc and as far as I'm aware, I SHOULD have had an update by now? yet it still has not arrived. is this normal for a UK note XEU with KKA kernel/ KK5 baseband?
many thanks.

@turshija
i am also still on KK5. I am not sure what you expect from new update. Until official ICS update, you only can expect some small things, like safety patches. What i red on forums, latest update have only changes on keyboard (added numbers), and for me its not something special.
You will lose your warranty if you root your SGN, and i agree with you to not flash the phone during warranty period. Its not so cheap toy
On other hand, when i bought my alternative phone 2 years ago (HTC HD2), i installed Android after few days, because Windows made me felling like a grandfather. I am still playing with my HD2 after few hundreds times flashed ROMs, and now i am on ICS...and still enjoying my HD2 flashing and playing )), but comparing with SG Note, HD2 must be alternative phone
P.S. - We have absolutely the same version of SGN
@turshija and @tanzemyu, I too have identical version to you. Mine was bought from carphone warehouse in UK. At the last OTA upgrade (to 2.3.6 KKA) my phone wasn't rooted at the time, and I got it OTA - but a couple of weeks after the update was announced for carrier-free phones. I think it's therefore likely that CPW are for some reason holding up the OTA upgrade.
When 2.3.6 was out but I hadn't got it OTA, I looked into trying to change my CSC in order to get the OTA update but I found that CPW have put a non-changeable sales code on my phone "CPW" and I don't have the option to change the CSC.
As I'm now rooted I'm going to flash the update myself when I get around to it (as I think you lose root if you do an OTA??) - but IF you also bought from Carphone Warehouse, it's maybe worth you waiting anther week or too just in case an OTA upgrade does eventually arrive (I can't see why it wouldn't?)
Mine is identical. And it's from phones4u.

Read back in the thread a few pages - 1) GeoHot works for Google now. Hired to find and close exploits like the one towelroot used to root devices; 2) towelroot used a specific vulnerability in kernels dated before June 3. If your kernel is dated after June 3, the vulnerability has been patched and there is nothing GeoHot can "fix" to make towelroot work on your device; and related to that 3) either your phone has the vulnerability or it doesn't and towelroot either works to root your device or it doesn't and there is nothing GeoHot can do to fix towelroot to make it work for your device. Plus, like I said before GeoHot works for Google now so he can't create programs or apps that root phones by exploiting vulnerabilities he is supposed to now be fixing. Now that this same question has been answered for the 1,000,000th time in this thread, can we please get it closed?

Look on the bright side. We needed CM and other AOSP variants in the past because most devices performed like crap. Now while not as smooth as stock Android, still rather speedy. Customization can be done with xposed mods.
Even if stuck on stock, it's not really that bad, to be honest.
You guys need to start learning something... for the sake of development...

No, I'm with you. I don't flash AOSP ROMs. I'm just afraid of not being able to upgrade to a stock, rooted TouchWiz Android L ROM.
But you're right, Samsung has put in the work and optimized TouchWiz over the years. I have no complaints with the performance.

I don't see why not. We're rooted with custom recoveries. As long as someone released a proper rom it can be flashed.
Otherwise just use Odin to flash the stock rom and root it again.

At least you had the 3G model and official JB (Asia only) . My Wi Fi model was thrown into the dung heap by Samsung after less than 12 months and no official JB or support theater.... Thanks to bodivas for the initial port to the P6810, I could then work from there with newer contributions.
They just ignore the GPL license to support devices for at min of 18 months. There are other OEM that refuse to provide full source too. What does Google do, nothing....
The only way is as you implied, to be proactive and help ourselves (and others) where skill/knowledge and time permit
Good modding !!
More than one way to skin a cat also....
I think they will have support for android L since the specs of the tab S match the requirements of the OS
it's easier for samsung to develop android L for exynos device . i hope my tab will have android L teeheehee
On which webpage provide SAMSUNG there (patched) opensource?
At least recovery image include binary which can't compiled from android source...
Finally!
Just installed android 11 on my note 10 lite via odin. Not gonna wait around for Samsung to seed it to my country.
Must admit, with android 11 I hardly see the need for root, or even a custom rom for that matter.
I read the other day that the Note 10 lite is part of the range of phones that will be getting 3 years of updates.
The big question... What are your thoughts on the android 11 update if you've got it? And are you going to update to it?

Is it safe to install another country update, which country Android 11 did you install?
Just started the download in India via OTA.
Still can not resize icon size
How about battery life? Is it better or worse for you after updating to android 11?
Worse !!! I have battery drain since android 11 update ! (on 2 different note 10 lite !)
See something told me not to take the Android 11 update just yet. I was gonna wait till the March update, but now I don't know. If it'll only make this phone worse I'll just keep the Note 10 Lite on 10 forever and just worry about getting a Note 20 Ultra (or Note 21 if Samsung isn't done with the series).
And now we're on the 4th iteration of Android 11 with the April update. Has anyone gotten it?
Yeah, would be nice if some people with the last android 11 update could give some feedback. I'm also allways on 10. How works access to the external memory-card? Like with 10 or are there problems getting access with solid-explorer, galerie, firefox (downloads), Titanium BA (backups) and so on?
Seems most people using a N10lite are not interested in modding/rooting it. Also in german forum android-hilfe there is nearly zero traffic in the 10lite group.
When i think back to the times of my Note 1, 3, 4 - there were posts over posts.
Looks like now instead of updates coming out at the end of the month they're now coming out in the middle. The "Beta 4" of Android 12 is coming out in August, not sure what that means for regular users, but I suspect it won't be ready for the Note 10 Lite till maybe January, February.
Meh, I would stay on Pie.
If already on 10... enter holding pattern.
My 10+ is still running on Pie. Apps like Karma Firewall are fully functional on it. Supports trusted overlay apps... which I use. No CPU cycles robbing scoped storage (for what?!).
The current load is over a year old now, still fast and very stable. Security has not been an issue.
Very little in the way of maintenance. Good battery life; 7-11%@hr SOT
Hello guys... would be posible to downgrade from 12 to 10? Thanks...

Likely not because of the bootloader version.

You are welcome.
The 5th digit from the rear is bootloader version.
In the build number you want to go to the bootloader version can be lower, the same but not higher.
In this case it's a 2 for this N10+ running on Pie.

Turns out I was right, Android 12 debuted in January for our device. It's on it's third update as of the time of this writing (March 4th).
So now I have to decide if I'll get the final Android 11 update, or the current Android 12 update. We have TWRP now, but I'm not sure if that'll help with firmware updates or not (I use to dirty flash firmware updates through TWRP when I had an S4 ages ago, not sure if that's possible here even with TWRP).
