THE GUY WHO CAME AS AN ANGEL FOR ALL DEFY OWNERS....

ORIGNALLY BY KABALDAN

Yes, it simply means that we (and other locked devices as well ￼ ) finally have a proper graphics driver needed by ics.

So we have fully working hwui for any app, Chrome works (though it's too RAM hungry for Milestone to be anyones favorite browser, I guess).

For Milestone it also means one important thing: one nasty bug of the old driver is gone. It plagued Gingerbread as well as ICS - it happened on orientation change.

Under ICS it caused parts of the screen to become black when rotating the phone while running recent Opera Mini (due to hw reset of sgx unit during the change).

Under Gingerbread, it caused crashes in sgx libs on rotation, for which I used workarounds directly in app source (Gallery3D) or in the framework (GoogleMaps).

So I'll try to use the new drivers also in CM7 in the future.

It also means that I upload a new build soon, because I postponed any releases until I'll be able to get the new drivers to work despite the locked kernel.

I'm really happy that I succeeded ￼ .

Old News

Before ranting about how Samsung sucks blah blah and messing up this thread, please read this --->post<--- first. :)

I will start a discussion about JellyBean (Android 4.1) so that our forum will not be cluttered with JB stuff.

Although i was late in viewing the live stream of google i/o i found this info over at phonearena. Jellybean will remove lag on devices that will run it? If so it would be cool to have it on our device (even though i only experience micro stutter lag). Hope it removes those little lag i experience sometimes.

Source: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-4.1-Jelly-Bean-is-announced-waves-goodbye-to-lag_id31659

Do you think our device will get updated to JellyBean? My personal opinion is yes because it is just a point release not a major overhaul of the OS. Maybe it will be less hassle to developers on porting it from ICS to JB than from GB to ICS (since this one is a major update). What do you guys think? Will it finally remove the micro lags we are experiencing or will it just be another android update without much improvement?

[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
I'm a bit confused. Is JellyBean going to be version 4.1 or 5.0? :silly:
[Galaxy S II General] eSche:
4.1
[Galaxy S II General] skibbi_pl:
"The first side of the Jelly Bean update is the way it interacts with hardware. One of the main complaints with Androids is that it often gets laggy even on the most sophisticated devices. Google has finally radically addressed this so manufacturers and developers can make their devices lag-free. The solution is called Project Butter and it comes with triple buffering so that the CPU and GPU work without waiting for each other. This means scrolling, zooming and virtually all actions become much faster."

It took them 4 MAJOR versons to fix this! Shame on you Google! :p

Flash is becoming obsolete. Adobe has accepted html5 is going to replace it and is ceasing support for it soon (though its pushing devs to Adobe AIR platform).

And the video play back is very good. Try you tube opt in and look for a no-ads video to test it, better than flash imo.

God, I hope we get 4.1 because Ive missed offline voice recog for years. And the other goodies look cool :D

Why do you all think we won't get this for our phones? I'll be really disappointed if we don't get it. Samsung has had access to Jelly Bean for some time now (according to Google), and since it's a rather small update and well within 18 Months of our Galaxy S2's update span, we should really get it.

I think that Nexus' hardware is good enough. Battery life though is not. Also, Nexus is too fragile.

I'm ok with SGS2 and receiving updates as custom ROMs. I'm also ok with plastic, it's cheap and light. Also, SGS2 is built pretty nicely.
[Galaxy S II General] Tuqano:
"Also, SGS2 is built pretty nicely"....yeah, i like it :laugh:, especially regarding the form factory that to me is better than the GS3 one....but this is purely my personal taste ;)....But I admit that I like more the polycarbonate used by HTC :good:

[Galaxy S II General] POLO_i780:
It wouldn't make ANY sense if Samsung didn't update the GS2 to JB.

I predict that the GS3, GNote and GS2 are guaranteed to get JB, these 3 are Samsungs flagships and have sold in great numbers, not to mention Samsung will want to avoid the backlash it got with the OG GS, ALSO, the OG GS received both 2.2Froyo from 2.1 and also went up to 2.3.3 Gingerbread and finally 2.3.6 GB, i expect GS2 will do the same and remain on 4.1 ,and if we are VERY lucky may go to 5.0, but 4.1 is guaranteed IMO.
[Galaxy S II General] Draak22:
People need to stop jumping to conclusions. Google announced it two days ago and sources will be out mid-july. Have patience, time will tell weither the SGS2 gets 4.1. Until then you'll just have to wait. Drink a beer, "cuddle" your wife/girlfriend/right hand, whatever. ;)

[Galaxy S II General] etherspin:
its just about the money for a while (especially while the general public figures out that samsung ,htc and friends dont make iphones but actually distinct handsets) but eventually consumers en masse will figure out that sticking with certain brands will ensure your phone is kept up to date for over a year. so far its just apple and the nexus line that are a sure bet but samsung,sony and htc will run out of excuses when 4 inch phone specs halt (screen wise) at around the 1080p range and there remains little difference beyond cpu/ram from one phone to the next. :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] :
Jellybean confirmed? Looking forward to next year ;)
[Galaxy S II General] mcpdigital:
I agree that at the end its all about money. My experience after being working for a long time in large "comoditized" companies the point is that everybody is focused in the upcoming events, to achieve their sales targets and so they will only focus in what the company expects, not what users expect.

They probably don't even have a responsible for keeping old phone customers happy. If Samsung has it, I would say it is above average. Just my opinion.

Thanks to the valuable developers we can have the best possible / viable ROMs in our "old" phones. My Moto Milestone is still in use running some alternative FW and Kernel. The same with my kids LG P500 and my S2 (JB).

As per now CM10 has got quite a few bugs and especially while playing videos (sound problems or codec problems)

So when CM10 gets stable then only I think Samsung will think of working on it
[Galaxy S II General] terrormattie:
Luckely that point will never come my friend. The last 40 years the Microchip Proccesor doubled it speed every 18 months (so after 54 months the speed is multipled by 8 and after 90 months by 32 and so on), like predicted by some. And I see no reason why this should stop at the moment when Micro Proccesors, sometimes litterly, rule the world.

[Galaxy S II General] jackierobinson:
Moore's law is likely to be maintained, but how relevant that will be to the consumer in the near future is questionable. As Project Butter has highlighted, increases in the power of hardware are leaving software struggling to catch up. Powerful hardware is only noticable when the software running on it is both intensive enough to require that hardware and efficient enough to use the hardware to it's full poteintial.

Once the weakest phone on the market is comparable to todays galaxy s3, running whatever OS Google has out by then, differences between phones will be slight. This is where the hardware or software will evovle into something completely new. Then we will all be here rooting our brand new Whatchamacallits.

From Sammobile: ''CONFIRMED: Galaxy S II to get Jelly Bean!''..........''Yes you see it right! The Samsung Galaxy S II will get Jelly Bean.

The insiders of SamMobile reported that Samsung is busy to test Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) on the Galaxy S II.

The tests by Samsung are fine and Samsung is make the public KIES release version.

If everything goes according to plan you will get this update to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean in September – October.

We of SamMobile will try to get some leaked roms for the die-hard Samsung owner!

Please do not ask for this, when we have things like this we always post after we tested first!

More good news.

Now we know the Galaxy S II is to get Jelly Bean we are also 100% sure for the Galaxy Note now too!

So Samsung will update more devices than HTC, LG, Sony or even Google to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean

So blaming Samsung about slow updates is a bit of FAIL!!''

Your assume that "when the weakest phone is as powerfull as the S3 the differences between phones will be slight" is grounded on nothing and believe me o so wrong.

Let me explain one more rule; If you manage to double the speed you as well managed to maintain the same speed with half its size half its warmed half its consumption.

Of course people want to play crysis 3 on his mobile.

HAHA I really hope you will read your post back over 10 years and laugh your ass of the s3.

I'm not sure why you're confused as to who is talking about phones, when both myself and the original user you replied to clearly are talking on that very subject.

But we are talking about smart phones, because right now that's what we have.

And I'm sorry but I can't see there being a big market for Crysis on 4 inch smart phones. Although the lower resolution means the possibility is not far off.
