Updating to ICS. What are the updates? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have doing some research on the the ics firmware upgrade on N7000 however when I update it via kies from my Mac, I noticed that my diary which supposed to be part of the premium suit wasn't installed, icons still remains the same as gingerbread, the gallery still the same. Do we need to install separately apps like camera ics, my diary and gallery ics and overwrite the stock ones to enjoy the features?
All these apps or icons, ics wallpapers must be installed separately? As for other updates like new lock screen security, pop up gallery player, etc all updated. What firmware am I right now? Stock ics? Are there any other Offical ics firmware for galaxy note that has the above updates without downloading the apps?
Need some advice please.

I'm currently on version 4.0.4 build number IMM76D.DXLR5.

Opps, Found the diary is actually mini diary. However after the updates the icon and camera remains the same right?

almost the same. but there are some new icons in the JB leak for galaxy note

[Q] Is it possible to force Samsung Apps to show more apps?

I'v had for a few hours DOC v4 JPU ROM and samsung app gave more results for apps to install.
I went back to Orange official rom JP8 and I have much less apps to choose from.
Is there some kind of fix for it?
Samsung Apps looks at your firmware version to know what apps to show.
E.G. The Facebook S app is not available on many 2.2 firmwares.
So the short answer to your question is no. I am not sure if there is a workaround, and even if there was, if the apps would work.

[Q] Clean honeycom 3.1/3.2 rom for P7310

Hi everyone
Is it possible to upload a clean rom for samsung galaxy tab P7310 ... this without "branding" samsung (pure honeycomb as the Motorola Xoom)
I want to have a pure HC without these additives like a TouchWiz social hub, etc.
Is it possible? Where can I download this rom?
I installed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321142 but does not work the camera and getting wifi disconnects
I'm not good at uploading something I'm looking for the simplest software, which can be loaded by ODIN

[Q] Samsung account on ICS Slim Rom

Hey guys,
I have installed the ICS Slim rom on my I9000, but now I'm unable to add my samsung account to the phone.
Is there a way to install the missing apks and framework, or will this not work?
Samsung apps aplication also doesn't work
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
samsung apps uses TW files/frameworks which are available in GB....... i m in ICS for couple of months but i havent found working CWM flashable zip to install samsung apps........
by the way..... what will you do with samsung apps.... u can download any apps from market or googling it !!!
Thanks, and that’s what I thought. Looks like I will just have to wait for the CWM.
And TBH, not really concerned with Samsung apps, just thinking that it might be related to the framework not working.

I highly recommend installing ICS ROM until official ICS update

I just installed the AOKP build 35 ICS ROM and wow, everything runs so smoothly compared to the Honeycomb stock ROM. EVERYTHING. Totally worth losing all my apps and settings for 1-2 months until the official update arrives. If you use the browser a lot (and type a lot) you should really think about doing this. It's like a CPU and RAM upgrade. Like a totally new (faster) tablet.
Yes, AOKP is great, but you didn't have to lose apps and settings - you could have just used Titanium Backup, and backed up literally everything . Good thing to know if you wanna do more experimenting before official ICS.

It's tempting, but I use my tablet to have my son Skype with my in-laws, so I'm stuck waiting forever for the official ICS.

i wouldn't do that.
ics and hc are two dirrent OS versions. porting apps from one OS to another would result in quite a few FCs.
so if you ask me "losing" your apps is the correct way to go...
I don't think that's entirely true mate. If you are talking about user apps and their data, it wouldn't make any problems, as long as the apps that were on Honeycomb are compatible with ICS, and 99% of them are. Not only apps, but he could have restored their data too, such as game progress, etc, without any issues...
Think of it this way, official upgrade from Honeycomb to ICS does a similar thing, and lets you keep user apps that you had on Honeycomb. I know this is true because i did it and kept all my user apps, when i was upgrading Asus Transformer Prime, that i had for testing purposes. There were zero issues with them.
Restoring system data and settings is another thing, i wasn't suggesting it, as that would most definitely cause problems.
It's the apps and their settings (and data) that matter most for me. And for anyone I guess... So it's good to know. Thanks.

AOKP and P5 ICS roms for p7310...can I switch back and forth between these roms using cwm without wiping?
step by step
Is there a step by step guide if how I can get this ICS up and running? From where
did you download the image for the Galaxy Tab 8.9?
I don't think so.
Here's the short version:
1) install CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312218
2) wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache (advanced menu)
3) install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648561
4) enjoy your new tablet

Brilliant, thank you so much, I will try it the next couple of days. Just wondering if there is a way to store the current original Honeycomb image, so that I can restore it in case there is some warranty issue?
Many thanks!
Yes, make a backup after you install CWM. You will have to restore this and also the stock recovery software if you're going for the warranty.
I've been trying to install ICS on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE and have been unsuccessful even when changing the update-script to avoid assert errors. I'm at the point where I get a Status 0 error when trying to install aokp_p5_build-35.zip.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm a noob with Android but experienced in iPhone area. I'm using CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery.
Sorry, no. I also had a similar error (6 I think) but that was because of me editting the script in Wordpad and saving it with carriage returns. I have no idea what the errors mean or where you can find any info related to this..

The LTE 8.9er Tablet has different hardware to the 8.9er regular tablet (p7310/p7300), the custom roms from the 8.9er tablet didn't work on the LTE tablet.
The lte tablet has a quallcomm soc the regular 8.9er has a nvidia tegra 2. Look here for a ICS for your lte tablet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1575
I installed CM9 yesterday on my tab. Ihave CM9 ob my SGS+, too. Thats the reason, why i installed CM9 and not AOKP or another ROM.
What i like:
- The performance is faaar better and smoother than on Honeycomb Stockrom
- In the Image Gallery a can disable the bottom bar so the full screen is used
- Better Taskswitcher
- IMHO better Contacts-App
What i dislike
- I have to say, Samsung optimized the Apps very well for the tablets that means:
- Better music player than Apollo
- Better calendar than in Android 4
- No Polaris Office
- No Keyboardsupport for the Samsung keyboard
Ok now lets see what Samsung deiver with there own Android 4. So i can copy some apps to CM9 .
Im waiting every day to have the confirmation that ICS would be ready
and I know I would start to wait until one of our chef's cook a proper ROM
I tried the different ICS and they look the part, is fast, and there is some nice improvments everywhere, however more than the camera not working,
what is holding me in Honeycomb is touch wizz
lol
don't get me wrong, I truly hate skins, and I like very slim and lightweight roms
but the app eBook is the killer app in my tab.
Until there is a good way to port it to ICS I will hold still living in the past..
(honeycomb was launched in feb 2011 why feels that long?)
Honeycomb isn't a problem by itself. The slow hardware on the 8.9 and Touchwiz make it a problem
Short Question: I have rooted my tabled and installed CWM Recovery and a port of an Cyanogenmod 9 ROM.
What happens when the ICS ROM will be released official by Samsung. What steps will I need to get these official ROM. Can I unroot and reset my device to the normal ROM or install the new official rom by manual download and installing over CWM Recovery?
When you made a backup of the stock rom after you installed cwm and bevor you installed the CM9 rom, you only have to restore the backup an update your tablet. otherwise you have to install the stock rom via odin.
About the "Smoothness" of Honeycomb and ICS. ICS is very smooth, but not every app. Quickpic stutter, the AOSP gallery is very smooth. Google Chrome is stuttering and shows me white screen when im scrolling to fast, the ICS Browser is smooth and faster.
So i thin there is something more than tegra or honeycom the problem.
maybe it is something like the right h264 codec for video.
