Samsung Galaxy Note, Meet Ice Cream Sandwich!


Since its release, the buzz around Samsung's Galaxy Note has been when it would receive its update to Ice Cream Sandwich. Samsung's dessert kitchen sent another delightful treat our way and we're passing it on to you. Another yummy leak, courtesy of Samsung and Rootzwiki!

Before releasing this link, we've spent quite a bit of time doing some testing and quality control to make sure you're going to end up with a satisfactory experience rather than a very attractive paperweight. RootzWiki's internal build tester has provided us with the following rundown of working features:
Face Unlock is fully functional
LTE connections are solid and up to speed
Phone calls work great both ways
Audio quality is up to par
Stereo Bluetooth is fully functional
MMS is fully functional
GPS is fully functional
Google Talk and Video Chat work
Google Voice is fully functional
Task Manager is smooth and transitions are quick
Downloaded Flash video and in-browser video works flawlessly
Chrome autosync is fully functional
AT&T Hotspot functionality works, external devices connect fine
For those of you who are used to using the Samsung tools in the Gingerbread Galaxy Note, here are a few changes that out tester has noticed:
Samsung Planner is now Calendar
New Calendar widgets include Month, Mini Task, Three Day Task, Mini Today, Agenda, Task, and Mini Agenda
There is a new Samsung Memo widget
There are a few small issues and design decisions that you'll have to contend with, but they're by no means showstoppers:
Premium Suite is not included in this build.
The TouchWiz launcher crashes on first boot, but not on subsequent boots
The TouchWiz launcher crashes upon adding a Google Play account
This build will increase your flash counter
This build will not wipe your external SDCard on install, but the internal SDCard will be formatted while installing this build.

This file is an Odin One-click installation file, so until we've got the goods separated out you'll need to use Windows to flash this leak to your phone
Reboot Phone in DOWNLOAD Mode
Connect your phone to a Windows PC via USB
Run the Odin OneClick file
Enjoy your new Ice Cream Sandwich!
