I bought my sgs2 from a guy who was moving to a sgs3, about 2 months ago. It was on GB!

I repeat... I bought my SAMSUNG GALAXY S II from a guy who was still using GINGERBREAD and the guy was selling it to buy a SAMSUNG GALAXY S III... That's like 75% of smartphone users out there and you think that Samsung will break a sweat over like 5% of their buyers who will stop buying their products because THEY think that Samsung is moving very slow/delaying the release of an update that other consumers won't see coming to their device. And based on what? Because they read speculations and rumors which got their hopes up, but not any official statement...

I check this thread daily and I'm very excited about the upcoming update, but other than better battery I don't expect to give my phone something that the leaked version hasn't given since November!
[Galaxy S II General] ohwarumbloss:
Oh well that may be a problem. In case of using the "original" leak I guess it will only work as first Rom but I am not sure about this.

Yes, you got a good point there, we're on official thread, nvm.

Edit : you're absolutely right about it. The /system of the 2nd Rom seems to lay in the /preload partition. I didn't realize this, my apologies!
[Galaxy S II General] copytec:
It's probably more like 90% than 75% . And to the guy that was having a sook like a spoiled child, I will ask a question, if Samsung were to charge let say $30 for the updates would you pay, would anyone pay. If by paying for the update meant that you got it quicker. Forget about open source, this is just a question. I think I would pay. But when someone is doing something for free, out of there good will, then I can wait and thank them for it. Your phone still works, it's not broken and when it does get the official update it will perform better than it was ever advertised to do, what more do people want.
[Galaxy S II General] bombaybadboy:
I didnt mean anything bad in my post I was just worried that members might try and dual boot leak and have problems. I have read post that dorimanx is working on dual boot for leak. So maybe not long to wait :)

Samsung start Android 4.1.2 updates Galaxy Note 10.1

Samsung just updated their own Galaxy Note 10.1 to Android 4.1.2. The update is only available in Germany at the moment. Android 4.1.2 makes the tablet again a bit faster. You can update your Galaxy Note ny Samsung KIES, OTA services of Samsung or just the ODIN way Samsung announced begin last year at MWC 2012

hey guys, not too sure if this is the right place but can someone link me to the Stock LSJ kernel? I have been playing around with loads of custom roms but flashed the stock jellybean leak because I wanted to use skygo (which works perfectly) but now I am toying with the idea of using philz kernel to get root but still want to be able to go stock if I want to use skygo!

There is still 14 days for FEB to start

I knew about update fiasco well in advance as my previous samsung phone(GT i5510)never got updated to ICS and still I liked the S2 so much as it's my first true smart phone
[Galaxy S II General] kicksilver:
Well, I used CM9 for 5 months, CM10 for 3 and been using this for quite a while now.

I also used stock roms for quite some time too, 2.3.6, 4.0.3, 4.0.4 and even the 4.1.2 leak.

RIL crashes are gone, I can assure you. My network hasn't dropped in over 10 days, since I changed my modem to the modem that is shipped with the default brazilian devices.

I can't tell if project butter is actually working the way it should, like on the Nexi, but this feels really smooth. I've yet to see any stutter, everything is smooth and pleasant.

As for TV Out, never used that, mostly Allshare (Or Skifta/Twonky, in AOSP-based roms).. But it'll work, you should know that.

But don't worry, I forgive you.

[Galaxy S II General] NunoPitbull:
You guys are seeing from the wrong perspective here... Its true that maybe we aren't the big part of pie in Samsung dollar making business, but WE ARE THE ONES THAT TEST THEIR FIRMWARE FOR THEIR NEXT PHONES .... Without CM "getting the leakeds" and testing problems etc they wouldn't have so much easy time rolling out updates..they would spend alot more $$$ testing their firmware to be fully comercial and more time...time is money...
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
They've lost not because of attitude but because of poor management. They didn't know what path to choose after delaying Symbian's death to maximum.

Regarding XDA, how many people are here? Let's say 20 000 of SGS II users, then of this amount 5000 will decide not to buy next Samsung phone.

Wow, really do you thing such 5000 people will be even 0.001% percent of whole pie of 40 000 000 of all users?

I know we are here like family - but we can't forget users here barely (if any) mean for Samsung anything in terms of numbers.

Samsung publish too many phones (same mistake that nokia did and was blamed at a time) and when samsung promised to open exynos sources I remember reading that there was in android bbq event samsung staff who didn't even know each other and they were doing same kind of jobs at samsung. Doesn't sound to me very organized.

Samsung published less than two weeks ago details on Jelly Bean for Galaxy S II and confirmed that it would arrive in South Korea at three carriers.

Today, CNET was able to confirm with a Samsung spokesperson that the company would begin the rollout of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean upgrade for Galaxy S II in February. According to the cited source, the update will be initially pushed in Singapore and South Korea.

It will be available for download only via Samsung Kies desktop software and it will take up 1GB of the 12GB of storage available. Stay tuned for more info on the matter.

Samsung is probably working on 4.2.1, they have never kept such a long gap before EVER!! even for the galaxy s when the s2 was out, the last fw was released in November and not a single one since, samsung actually works hard when it comes to the s and note series.
[Galaxy S II General] minidou-77:
Honestly I think this this is impossible for the S2 to get 4.2.1 when just a few of the newest/best solding are getting 4.1.2

Probably when the S IV will be out the S 3 will start getting the first leaks of 4.2.*

I am running the 4.1.2 leak and flash player 11.1 seems to be working fine.
[Galaxy S II General] kikoto:
Since you bashed brand X, I thought you had brand Y lined up for recommendation :D

And because you'd recommend a phone to 20 people (as you mentioned) I'm sure they would cover pretty much all price ranges :D
[Galaxy S II General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
If 20 people asked you about that then I'd sympathize with them because I don't know any normal person who would reject brand (which makes one of the best or the best phones over the world) just because upgrade is being delayed for a few months.

It was the same with ICS upgrade, many childish posts in style "this is my last Samsung phone" and what we have? SGS III has been sold in more amount than SGS II.

So people shut the mouth up and stop posting crap you won't buy next phone from Samsung.

Nobody cares if you do or not, especially Samsung.

We have right to be angry, to say Samsung Crapsung but saying "I won't buy next phone from them" is just silly.

In terms of numbers forums are meaningless, speaking our all voice is really heard over there seems to be megalomania of XDA users.

Re: ***[OFFICIAL] JellyBean 4.1 Discussion thread [XXLSJ]***

People like Samsung rom but think it's cool to hate touchwiz. Sort of like IE hate by Firefox, Chrome fanboys

Seriously pass me whatever you're smoking. How is CM 10.1 smoother than leaked LSJ rom.? I can surely see the lag and people are so used to lag on Android so much that when they see it doesn't stutter anywhere, they assume it's smooth.

Android is innovating in terms of h/w improvement and OEM'S are available to sell their latest h/w (quad core, 2GB RAM etc) but OS aint optimized well. I'm not talking about CM10 /CM10.1 on the SGS2 here (which is due to Exynos BS) but Android in general.

This thread started with general discussion

about JB on the SGS2 and later after the LSJ leak, people started talking about the leaked rom as well.

You can talk about any thing related to JB for S2

As you said mods, custom kernels have pretty much given a final JB rom based on the leak. I don't think we'll get anything better when final release comes. In short no major difference compared to leaked release.

Yeah.. A new leak will keep few silent for 1-2 months :D

When I bought the phone the first thing I did was install a launcher. It was Gingerbread. Then I updated to ice cream sandwich but didn't like the stock fw so I switched to CM 9. With this leak is the first time I actually enjoy using Touchwiz and I see no need to install a replacement. Samsung enhanced it a lot over the last years.

It still surprises me as to why every other device is getting JB but why not S2

Is it not ready yet?

Is it delayed for marketing reasons?

Is it not coming?

Is it delayed on purpose as it's last update?

Bla... Bla.. Bla

If Samsung had never ever mentioned November-December as time earlier I wouldn't have bothered about it.
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
Priorities. Newest devices get priority over older devices. People who bought the SGS3 want to see their updates come faster than those who bought HTC's One X. Immediate support is the priority. After that comes the legacy updates. Update releases get slower and slower until a device is no longer supported.

As I've said before, the Galaxy S II is the ONLY phone in its class getting this level of support. Of all of the daul-core "super-phones" launched in the first half of 2011, how many got Jelly Bean? None except the SGS2. In terms of update support, the Galaxy line is comparable to the Nexus line.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
By the time all new devices and regions get their update, I'll be seeing announcement of new flagship.
