Ice Cream Man!

WTF???

Samsung said the ICS updates would be out starting in July with most in August. Well, August is nearly over!! I want my Ice Cream Sandwich!

Honeycomb is just damned buggy.

Come on!!

If your rooted you can grab the ics ported rom like I am now. I left the jelly bean roms because they were too laggy. I appreciate every developers work, but I'm looking for a daily driver in the absence of an official release.

I want ICS soon. My newish 8.9 is futzing along with the wifi connections issues. I'm ready for a firmware update.
 
And ICS just finished installing on my Tab! What a great surprise. :-)

I got mine this morning too, over wifi. Installed without problems, and so far running pretty smooth. I haven't done a factory reset yet.
 
Oh wow! Apparently all I needed to do was voice my desire for it. I wish I'd known, I would have said so before.

Now...fingers crossed Isaac doesn't knock out our power.
 
Updated mine without a hitch. It seems to run much smoother! Now I can't wait for the devs to fix the Jellybean port! :D
 
I updated my wife's 8.9 this morning. She likes it, but in trying to restore some of her icons, shortcuts, etc. I discovered that Samsung's ISC launcher won't let me install a web page shortcut to the home screen. There is no message why, either from the stock browser or from Chrome. Incidentally, ICS is supposed to automatically install icons from downloaded apps (does this on my Xoom), but when I downloaded Chrome, I had to go look for it in the app folder.

I also tried to install a web page shortcut on the home screen using the CMarks app (I used this for a couple of years before Chrome decided to write their app for Android). CMarks is the only app that gave me a clue about why it could not install an icon on the home screen:

"You do not have the default Android Launcher installed. Shortcuts cannot be created without this application (though it does not need to be your active home application)."

Hrmmm.

I am now running JB on my Xoom and had been running ICS for several months now. Never a problem with sending shortcuts to the homescreen. And the way Play works (or should work) under ICS is that when you download an app from the store, it automatically sends the icon to your home page, or the first free spot it can find. I can't find anywhere on the 8.9 where I can invoke the use of the Android default launcher (if it even has it, that is).

Anyone seeing this?

Not sure about the Bookmark shortcuts, but Google Play has an option in the settings to automatically put a shortcut on your home screen. Maybe that got unchecked accidentally?
 
Finally got it to update by using kies. That program is complete trash, but it was worth using to get the JB ICS upgrade. It's like a new device.

I've never gotten Kies to work on my tab, likewise can rarely get a good USB connection. I'm hoping ICS will fix that when it turns up. Does the screen-cap soft-button still work under ICS? I use that every day, and don't want to have to use the hardware commands for screen-cap.

It's ICS not JB.

The button is still present but I haven't tried it.
