ICS for Galaxy Tab 10.1 owners (version 1) in USA

Aug 22, 2012 12:35AM PDT

Last night when i did a check for software updates I came back with a message about updating firmware. Well what is was doing was upgrading from Honeycomb to Ice Cream Sandwich. The first step took like 40 minutes to download then it was about 15 to install. Then it automatically installed my apps. The orangish screen that first comes up before you swipe is now blue. then the main screen comes up with a widget for a video and music along with the same weather widget that was on the first screen of Honeycomb. When you swipe from the opening screen the pages are blank with out the widgets that were on Honeycomb when you purchased your Galaxy tab. I added some apps to those page. I did notice under apps the apps were in alphabetical order under Honeycomb but were in I believe install order. I haven't found where I can arrange the apps in alphabetical order (I did seach). Also I went to the Google Play Store to search for Chrome browser with Honeycomb and it didn't even show it was there. I went to the play store with ICS and was able to download Chrome. I quickly replaced the browser on my main screen with Chrome. I also tried to download some themes but I haven't found any that will work in Android yet.
