That's a serious problem. 6 months gone and Google still unable to deploy Android 4. Next time they shouldn't release Android 5 until all drivers are ready for deployment. First they should send beta system to hardware manufacturers and force them to hurry on drivers and ROM customizations. Then, deploy it.
As of me - I decided not to go with TI next time. All they have is just OMAP 3 and OMAP 4. Half a year and still no drivers for OMAP 3 with tiny merges in code time to time. Next i'm going to buy is going to be tablet, then it will be nVidia or Qualcomm. Second isn't hurry as well, but at least they already have Android 4 drivers for outdated MSM7227.

Gaurav, 02 May 2012Why GGB still a king???
because there is no official IC... moreThere are at least a dozen official ICS update for I9100. Please be informed well before commenting.
And that comment i posted after using XXLPQ 4.0.3 ROM for 6 straight weeks. It was crap, that's all.

LoL I was already making a lots of advices of ICS but not body listen (here at my place) now people still crying by the useless ICS is (for now).
But realize this people Android is not the fail here, the real fail came from the manufacturers and their thousands variants of Android (own makeup)
Realize Android is fragmented and if they don't solve this the updates will be as useless as ever...ICS is good but when TouchWiz, Blur, Sense, etc, etc came around everything goes to the trash bin...

Raffa, 02 May 2012I'd love to be able to DOWNGRADE back to Gingerbread, ICS (... moreI agree that the RAM usage is higher but it runs better. That and it solved my Wifi bug which appeared after the last 2.3.6 update.
Wouldn't wanna go back. It works fine now. About battery... I was already charging it like every smartphone I've owned so far, every day.

I'd love to be able to DOWNGRADE back to Gingerbread, ICS (4.0.3) is not good for my SGS2... on Gingerbread my RAM was usually at 250 - 280 MB during the daily use - now on ICS it's at 380 - 420 MB with the same level of using and the same apps being used... is that what they consider a step ahead? looks like a step back to me, at least in terms of power consumption... besides that, ICS is clearly faster, no doubt about that, but it comes with the coast of less battery life which is just the wrong direction...
