I'm using Thebyani XXLPB/CM9 which is pretty stable. Some minor quirks like camera not fully baked (still can take shots and videos) but it's constantly under development.

No Chinese though, so...

Haha, there is no difference between "AP" and original sets except for warranty support. They are all manufactured by Samsung.

Speaking of TB Pro, have you all tested the batch restore function on ICS? Apparently, there are problems with it.

Thanks for all the replies re: TB Pro on ICS. Think I'll hold off on purchasing it first then because I'm on the ICS ROMs now.

The app compatibility thing is frustrating, though. The developers probably have no incentive now since most of the devices aren't on ICS but wish they'd sort it out quickly.

Not having the Kindle and Economist app on my phone is frustrating, haha.

Having an antivirus does not guarantee 100% detection of viruses and malwares. The best proteection is user intelligence; don't install apps that request for unnecessary permissions and look for user reviews for any red flags.

Also, try to avoid cracked apps if you can.

If you want a stable ICS ROM, try "thebyani" ICS ROM. I've been on it for about a week; generally stable with good battery life. Everything's working well. It's based on the leaked Samsung firmware spliced with CM9.

Can't see myself using Gingerbread now, haha. ICS is awesome.

If you can't wait for official ICS firmware, just flash custom ROM hehe. Look for the ones based on the leaked Samsung firmware; should be XXLPH now. Very stable for me.

Apparently, the LG one has a 4+1 core; the extra core will be used to run normal tasks so won't drain that much battery.

If true, then it's the best of both worlds. The only question now is how effective and intuitive the core switching will be.

" (...) the Tegra 3 features a 4+1 "Companion Core" design, with a fifth low power unit available to take care of more mundane tasks without draining the battery. "
