Take this with a pinch of salt as it's far from official but:
Gaurav Hasabnis, an industry analyst and contributing editor of Fonearena.com posted on Twitter: “Something gonna come in Jan 2012. #sgs2 users gonna rejoice!”, followed by a second tweet: “Soon Mali400 gonna be in full use.”
The mentioned Mali 400 is the name of the GPU on the Samsung Galaxy S II. Rumors states Ice Cream Sandwich will utilize the the full potential of high-end smartphones better than previous Android OS, which leads us to believe that the ICS will be making its way to the Galaxy S2.

Thank you for the heads up. Hope GS2 will not take a long time to upgrade like the Samsung did for Galaxy S.
seems to match up with this
http://www.lifeofandroid.com/news_detail/ice-cream-sandwich-to-debut-on-android-handsets-in-weeks/
The worldwide release of Android 4.0 will begin in time for Christmas with Google’s Nexus S smartphone meaning the new OS should be broadly available for all compatible handsets by early 2012.

They hvn't even released the 2.3.4 update in India.Jan 2012 s too early a date for us i guess .

If they won't release it officially, I'm sure we'll get a custom rom with 4.0 running as soon as the Galaxy Nexus is launched But good news, anyway!
Just think. If it's January 'officially,' then it could be December (or earlier) for us!
That's a great news. Though I think we'll get ICS unofficially before that. Anyone?

Wow this is great news. Now android is a step closer to WP7 and iOS in handling resources. +1 HW acceleration
Even if we are not getting the official update, i am sure xda developers will cook one for us.

Didn't Samsung drop development of 2.3.4 as they started 2.3.5
I still haven't got any official updates from 2.3.3 on a SIM free handset here in the UK.
Samsung UK have also tweeted that there is no time frame for getting ICS on the SGSII (read in to that what you want)
Think custom roms will be the only way forwards on ICS for some time.
Well that announcement is about Official release, NOT unofficial one. 70% users use Official ROM and like them, existing use this and that. Without a Stock ROM there won't be any Custom ROMs? Would there be?
Count me in those 70%.
We'll sure have some custom rom runnig ICS before the official one but I wonder what they'll do about touchwizz...
Looking forward to it
[ROM_LEAK] AT&T Skyrocket ICS leaked (Same chipset as Note?) [DEVS ONLY] get it here
Not sure where to post this, but as it's ROM related with sources I'm hoping here is the best place.
ICS for Skyrocket ROM leaked, which has to be extremely close to the same code base for the Note's LTE QComm Snapdragon S3 chipset.
Is this something our ROM devs can use for a solid ICS foundation for our Note? If not please forgive my mistake, just trying to help out...
DL from my mirror here
Original source info http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21384-ics-leak-for-att-skyrocket-4g/
Yeah I was reading about this in the Skyrocket forum last night or this morning and was quite excited hopefully we can make something of it and i have no problem donating webspace/storage and money to help out devs.
Belongs in general but thanks for the link
Thanks let see of devs can make this work for the note

leak is cool . but we need kernel source if we intend to port their base to ours so it would be a kernel dev 's work ..
I m thining we ll have a leak soon .. if ics got leaked for skyrocket it certainly exists somewhere for the note .. just need to be patient
Just as well, AT&T released a list of phones that would receive the ICS update. The Note was on it as well as the Skyrocket. All of this bodes well, and further suggest what i was the first to say. We'll get ICS shortly after its released for the international note, the Angry Birds Space app would be a new app....not an update to an existing app like some suggested (this made absolutely no sense to me) and that the premium suite would be a host of s-pen apps and updates (i stated all of this before the video was even close to being released. Im on a roll!!

Maybe we'll get lucky and get a ics kernel source leak for the note soon, so DA_G can work his magic, not like I'm in a rush, I'm enjoying gingerbread but I do miss ICS.

Currently as a phone or gadget, the Note has been impeccable with Saurom. I can wait for ICS. In the end a great phone is a great phone.

I'm still running the stock rom (with DaG's Kernel and supercharger) and my experience has been pleasant. I havent the need to flash a rom yet, but that day is coming soon.. waiting for a better theme for the SolarisPrime to come out
These comments are the antithesis of Dev only^^
On topic: we won't be able to get it booting without a kernel as said previously. And without source out a hacked one would be a mangled **** show so for now we have to wait.
If your interested though gb skyrocket roms boot with one of our kernels. We still needs a new one but it would be something to work on till we get source or a leak
T-mobile galaxy s2 boots with the skyrocket kernel...anybody willing to softbrick to try it out?
I have on my my t989 and my galaxy note. I'm using the galaxy note as my daily driver, but the t989 has the leaked skyrocket rom on it, so there are some things missing. I don't want to rely on it if I bork my note and don't have time to fix it. My Gnex is at home too...otherwise I'd just do it and see how it goes!

Not running Saurom myself right now, but from a GB perspective, I could not agree more. What makes the device great is the device itself. To me, ICS is an A while GB is a B+ at absolute worst, so like you, I will gladly wait.

This. GingerBread is hella stable now. Having a few HoneyComb devices laying around makes ICS seem sorta lack luster.

I used holo and da_g when I tried and it boots I didn't try with skyrocket kernel mainly due to the likelygood of no spen support. Although you never know. I have work all day otherwise I'd try again

Newest is always assumed to be the best; however, the reliability and functionality of the modems vary by your location. What may work exceptionally well for me could produce lackluster results for you. Your best bet is to try them out for yourself. Flashing them is easy enough.
Good luck.
Thank you for your help!
I was also attracted to the leaked packages, until I realized:
Leaks have even less quality and effort put in, compared to the horrible firmware actually released. They're just early.
The leaks may be some android version, but they've been mangled by Samsung AND AT&T. Vanilla is now my only flavor...
(maybe the leaked nature of the leaks is appealing in itself? Makes you feel like you're getting one up on "the system"? BYPASS the system with CM9!)
All 3 of the leaks work well for me. UCLD3 is GREAT and I will run it until another leak (or an official release) comes along.
With that said...no ROM is perfect.
You will have the most choices and dev support using ported firmwares that are originally developed and others ported work.

Hi,
Yesterday manually updated my Galaxy S3 which was on stock ICS (Never been rooted) to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 using odin (Got the firmware from Sammobile), but the camera and the gallery app seem to be the same as in ICS.
But when i go onto the official jelly bean website it says they have updated the camera app and the gallery app. Anybody know about this and how to fix it?
Thanks in Advance.
I think they meant in terms of performance rather than appearance, the Note 2 is the only device I know of that's got a decent gallery app lol

I checked there website again, and its says:
"Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, made snapping photos super fast; Jelly Bean brings that same speed to the next step: viewing. Just swipe over from camera to filmstrip view to instantly view the photos you just took, and quickly swipe away the ones you don’t like. Now sharing — and bragging — are a breeze."
But on mine you can swipe or nothing its the same old app from ICS.
What's the website?? because I'm sure that's not a feature of our device

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
My man, you are looking at the features of AOSP based ROM and comparing against Stock apps..that feature is present in any AOSP based ROM CM10 for eg. Samsung has made its own Camera app which is present in the Stock ROM...the implementation is different..so if you want the vanilla Android features try AOSP based ROMs and not compare it with Stock ROM..

Oh i see, thank you for clearing that up for me. But as i would like to stick with non-custom roms i guess i will not be able to get the gesture features in my camera & gallery app.

I'm sorry if I have spoiled your uptight high looking tupe thread with a simple question about an update that samsung mentioned was to roll out late september and others have already had, so I deemed logical to ask such a question in a forum that people much more up to date could potentially be inclined to answer.
I can put it in plain english for you in case you didn't get that.

Hi
I am running xxlsj for a few days and its good with Nelp4 modem.
I was wondering for an optimal performance os for galaxy s2. Will it be ginger bread or ics or jb?
I know there are custom roms kernels etc available but I am only interested in stock roms so please keep it to the subject.
Any thoughts?

for battery life: Gingerbread
for performance: Jelly Bean (although there's only AOSP builds afaik)
I'd go with a ICS stock-based ROM like WanamLite
If you want only stock roms, go with ICS. It's more recent and have many options that GB don't have.
Notice that really official Samsung stock, there isn't any JB versions yet, but Samsung claims that will release it until the end of this year.
There is a Samsung JellyBean leaked that you can use, but it's not an original stock release, keep that in mind.
Search for xxlsj on google and you will find your below statement incorrect in regards to jellybeans for gs2. I am already using jelly beans leaked "official" version.
Thanks for your input though.

I take that to mean him saying: "but it's not an original stock release"; and you saying: "Search for xxlsj on google and you will find your below statement incorrect in regards to jellybeans for gs2. I am already using jelly beans leaked "official" version."
He specifically has the word "release" in his post. So he mentioned it. You seem to dispute the existence of a "release" by saying his statement is incorrect, and you are using the leak as evidence of this.
There is no cynicism here. I interpreted what you said in the context of the response to his post. If that's not what you meant, then clarify.
