Not yet. Waiting for some positive feedback from you before I take the plunge. How does it compare to the original software?

Yep installed it and rooted it. Working nicely, camera does indeed work.

Haven't had any stability issues but i did need to do a FULL factory wipe including internal SD. I also flashed it via pc ODIN not via mobile odin like some of the guides.

For me it's just really good to have the Allshare DLNA client back since i've been running AOSP's for so long.

Did it yesterday and one major difference is that you can add an addtional screen or take some away. It just looks like Honeycomb on steriods.

It's a big improvement over the Honeycomb version, which I didn't have any problems with. Mostly the new interface and much more options is a plus for me on ICS. Very stable so far, only issues so far is my regular terminal program doesn't recognize when I type alphabet characters making it useless.

I also formatted before the upgrade and used the odin on the PC as well. My streaming needs isn't so advanced, limited to some security camera and a movie or two over VLC. I also had to upgrade my Clockworkmod recovery as the rooting wasn't successful, no problems now after the upgrade.

Very happy with it. There's an occasional lag when returning to the homescreen, but otherwise it's fast & smooth. My only realy irritation is the lack of a battery %. Full format, but used mobile Odin.

How do I update my TAB 10.1 3g to this firmware. Mine is on Android 3.2 and Kies says I've got the latest firmware. When I click on "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization", it says 'GT-P7500' does not support initialization. :wtf:

Please help!

It's the same version as the UK and a big part of Europe. You can select which language you want. It is a stock version so no cell network added settings and programs.

Do you mean on the lock screen? Mine shows the percentage when I click on the notification panel. Maybe try power controls app, I see it shows the battery level in a circle as a notification icon, so it shows even in the lock screen.

Nope, in the notification bar (ie. always visible).

I don't remember that from the previous version? Why not try a widget that gives that information on the home screen?

Wasn't there in the previous version (has never been in any stock ROM, strangely). Yes, I could use a widget. Was simply expressing a small annoyance - really not a big deal.

I did not add any settings, it picked up the network automatically.

I used this -> http://p7500.zeroflow.at/P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_ITV.zip

I have downloaded the file and Odin picks up the device. But after selecting the PDA file and hitting START, I get the following message:

<ID:0/012> Added!!
<ID:0/012> Removed!!
<ID:0/012> Added!!
<ID:0/012> Odin v.3 engine (ID:12)..
<ID:0/012> File analysis..
<ID:0/012> Enter CS for MD5..
<ID:0/012> Leave CS..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)


Please help! I am new to the whole flashing thing... Do I need to Root the device first?
