Official Android 4.0 ICS for AT&T Samsung GALAXY Note Leaks




Both Samsung and AT&T promised the Galaxy Note would receive the Ice Cream Sandwich update at some point, but neither gave a specific release date.

The latest official statement comes from the South Korean handset vendor who stated that Samsung Galaxy Note would be upgraded to Android 4.0 sometime in Q2 2012.

Initially slated for a Q1 release, the Ice Cream Sandwich update for Galaxy Note has been delayed given the “incredible versatility and unique users experience” offered by the smartphone.

Basically, the Galaxy Note will not only receive the Android 4.0 ICS upgrade, it will get a special “Premium Suite” that includes extra multimedia features, as well as some S Pen optimized apps.

There’s no telling when Samsung will start the global rollout of the update, but until they do there’s a new official Android 4.0 ICS ROM that has just leaked on the Internet, courtesy of the folks over at RootzWiki.

Keep in mind that this build does not come with the promised “Premium Suite” upgrade, but it has been tested in order to make sure it can be used on a regular basis. This ROM can only be flashed on AT&T's Galaxy Note, it won't work on the international model.

According to RootzWiki, the following features are fully working and don’t require any fixes:

Face Unlock; LTE connections; Phone calls; Audio quality; Stereo Bluetooth; MMS; GPS; Google Talk and Video Chat; Google Voice; Task Manager is smooth and transitions are quick; Downloaded Flash video and in-browser video; Chrome autosync; AT&T Hotspot functionality, external devices connect within the parameters.

Several changes have been highlighted as well, such as the Samsung Planner, which is now Calendar. It looks like the new Calendar widgets now include Month, Mini Task, Mini Today, Agenda, and other options.

It is also worth mentioning that there are a few issues that have yet to be corrected in the final build of the update. Besides the fact that the “Premium Suite” is not included in this package, those who tested this build reported TouchWiz launcher crashes on first boot, and upon adding a Google Play account.
