You have to understand that this update means more than just official JB for our device. This update can show how "behind" from devices like s3 are we. If they implement multiwindow and some other new features it's gonna feel like we have a brand new phone. But if they don't, they are just giving us a last gift and saying you have to buy a new phone because you have a small resolution, etc, etc.

In the other hand we still have dorimanX, we still getting CM, and a lot of great developers work on our phone :D Thanks to them I'm gonna keep my s2 for a while :P

Come on guys, it wasn't even Samsung promising anything... It was just a tweet from a fan blog. They may have some sources but the information was never near official.

Relax, it will come and it seems we will see 2013 with our phones already updated.

Brick bug

Hello,

I have a question regarding the source codes, if maybe anyone knows some info from the devs. As we all know, eMMC cap is enabled on this leak, yet there hasn't been any bricked SGS2 because of this ROM, even without Philz Kernel. Some people suspected Samsung has found a different workaround to prevent the phone from getting bricked, but, without the sources, it was a more empirical assumption.

So my question is, with the sources released by Samsung, has anyone managed to discover if they truly made a workaround so we can have evidence whether our phones will be safe on Jelly Bean official ROMs, as I would like to stay as stock as possible, provided that the ROM will work great.
[Galaxy S II General] lasic.2000:
That's weird beacuse official JB for Note 2 wasn't open rom it was Branded by Plus GSM. So what we will have?... Oh Samsung You pissed us of...

optus (australia) is saying 4.1 update will be done by early January
[Galaxy S II General] drraptor:
Any link ?
[Galaxy S II General] Cenobite_:
Maybe that's because optus wants to add provider specific stuff in the rom. And this date does not apply to the international version.

Or is this just wishful thinking :)

[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
You must be kidding. HTC's One S which is their 2nd flagship still hasn't got JB yet.

Sensation which is the same league as ours is not getting JB. Atrix isn't. Optimus 2X just got its ICS last week...
[Galaxy S II General] kostas1988:
how do you even compare those things?apple has its own updates..samsung take the updates from google and adjust them in every phone it will take the update diferently..if you want fast updates buy a nexus or an iphone and dont complain!!the matter is how good the phone is with or without fast updates..

Nexus of course. I'm just pissed about it because I'm going abroad next week, and I want a perfect working phone, but Samsung delays it time and time again. One more thing which pisses me is that there is no official date of the release.
[Galaxy S II General] vitoski:
Guys, I believe it's not a matter of time frame when Samsung or any other vendor releases the JB for their flagship or second (like SGS2) phone. People are upset because of so many rumors flowing around the internet. I am pretty sure that no one will complain if we get fixed date that vendor (Samsung... Sony... HTC or any other) will comply with.

It's always easier to be patient if you know when exactly the update will be released, no earlier nor later.

However that's now how it works like now. People are given false promises that tomorrow... no sorry yesterday... again sorry week after the update will be released. Publishing new rumors from fun pages or even Sammobile (In my opinion it's the fan page as well) makes it even worst.

I'll not bash Samsung for delayed updates but hate it where they don't have a page on their website with a list of all Samsung devices and update schedule for it.

I'm sure every other OEM - Sony, Motorola, HTC have one. Not sure about LG as they suck in providing updates

[Galaxy S II General] burtallicus:
as i said, i belive that it will be after the Christmas....why? because if all the features from S3 are brought to S2 who will by S3 during this high sale period? the lack of a deadline is exactly for this, pissing you off into buying S3 :))......as we all could see S2 runs 4.1.2 as smooth as on a S3 so what i would like for Cristmas is that phone producers will stop this crazy race for more cores and bigger screens and focus on squeezing all the performance can you get out of phone before releseaing new ones
[Galaxy S II General] Betsku:
Well that makes sense, im still hoping that that is not the case. I dont think that they will bring all the goodies from s3 to s2
[Galaxy S II General] JakeLee28:
Just my opinion, any software developer/programmer knows how hard it is to stick to deadlines when working on a project, its possible but hard. one little change can cause many bugs which in turn needs to be fixed and so on, then tested again etc. its not a easy process so that why it's hard to stick to the announced deadlines. but I think Samsung's been very reasonable compared to other manufactures not only just updating the software..we get the new touchwiz and all the goodies while some other phones of the same catogary from other manufactures may never even see the light of JB :)
[Galaxy S II General] aveenhuysen:

[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
And just think of how many products Samsung has to manage! They want to give priority to the S3 and Note 2, of course what did you expect? And to all those that are like "f*ck Samsung, never again" which phone will you buy? HTC? Just remember that so far only the One X has got Jelly Bean, while Samsung is working on it for 3 devices (i9100/i9300/N7100). LG? No phone with JB up to now and LG 2X received ICS this month. If you want fast updates just buy a Nexus but then you won't have all the funcionalities of other smartphones and stop complaining! We are here to talk about WHEN the Jelly Bean rom will be released

[Galaxy S II General] bombaybadboy:
I personally think it will be hard for me to choose my next phone. The s2 has such a good look to it and other phones look so plain. I have had my device a year now and it still looks as good as the day I unboxed it. Can't see people saying the same about nexus 4. cheap clear plastic backs with the rubber trim that probably start coming away. Then there is Sony, well if you seen one Sony you have seen them all just different sizes. S2 may be a development nightmare but still seems to have more custom ROMs than most devices. Only bad thing I can really say about my device is it has samsungs name across the top. Drunken rant over :D
[Galaxy S II General] etherspin:
I agree that Samsung are expending considerable effort to make JB for a multitude of phones but really, they allow the problem to happen to some degree by making meaningless spinoffs of their flagship handsets - it certainly true that they could have opted to be arseholes and make this JB update simply their ICS plus google now but they have actually included a whole bunch of newer features, Im very surprised, I dont think we will get further updates, at this point what would be nice to see would be enough of the source / drivers for the S2 components that CM,AOKP and friends can make their builds run natively on our devices
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Very true.

Next good move from Samsung would be to make Exynos AOSP friendly so that users don't have to rely on Samsung anymore for updates once they officially stop updating anymore.

[Galaxy S II General] --Yo--:
There's no point of comparing Samsung to Apple, the iphone 5 barely matches the S2 (it's still lower than the S2 in several features), so nothing to compare with the S3 or Note II, and those are the ones it should be compared to.

Also, I don't think this is the right topic to do this -I repeat- nonsense comparison.
[Galaxy S II General] OmfgHax:

[Galaxy S II General] Andy:
How about we leave the iPhone v.s Android comparisons away from this.

Both OS's and handsets have distinct advantages & disadvantages (if you cannot see these, class yourself as a fanboi). XDA is about development irrespective of what platform its on.

Either we discuss the topic (Android 4.1) and everything pertinent to it or we close the thread.

Stay on topic guys.
[Galaxy S II General] CRCinAU:
*sigh* I miss when these forums were full of on-topic and non-stupid posts... the signal to noise margin has decreased greatly over the years - but to the detriment of the XDA community.

[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
So, back on topic (Android 4.1.2 for the SGS2 GT-i9100). What's your plans on the rollout? Flash the first official ROM, or wait for Kies push to your device?

I'm in the latter. I'll wait for the UK version, which should be 6-8 weeks after the Poland rollout going by history. So at this rate, February to early March. I plan to flash it, factory reset to a clean install, then go through all of Samsung's apps for a week or so and find out what I want disabled and what I want to keep. I want to give TW more of a chance rather than using custom launchers and such. I want to make the phone as light and fast as I can without going to root. Around the same time I'll replace the screen protector (going back to Martin Fields), and the battery at nearly 18 months doesn't last long anymore, so that gets replaced. Debating between a replacement 1650, or going with the 2000. I've heard conflicting things on how the 2000 fits into an SGP Ultra Capsule.

So basically, it's going to be like a whole new phone for me. I'll use it for awhile, take a long hard look at the SGS4, and then wait on the "Nexus 5."

I picked up an official 2000mah battery. No regrets. Haven't had to charged all day since using it. I listen to at least 4 hours of music every day. The ROM I use is also great for battery life. Is in my SIG (the one someone keeps crying about)
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
There's something that you need to understand about why we're behind on firmware updates, and why this will always be the case. I'll try to keep this on topic, but there will be some Apple and Nexus mentions for the sake of illustrating my point, nothing more.

When Apple releases iOS for their devices, it seems pretty uniform. However, what most don't realize is that <1% of Apple users (usually developers and select testers) have access to the beta of that iOS version about 6 months before release. This is so that app developers can have their **** ready before the official release.

Google does something similar, and it's called the Nexus program. The Nexus makes up <1% of Android sales, or about the same as Apple's beta program. People who buy a Nexus get a vanilla version of Android devoid of many common features that we Sense or TouchWiz users take for granted, such as T9 dialing, notification shade toggles, etc. Also, Nexus users usually have widespread issues (<5%, but that's several out of the 50-100 apps many have installed) with apps not working on their version of Android. This gives developers about 6 months or so to get their bugs worked out before OEMs like Samsung and HTC start pushing out the latest and greatest to their devices.

Lastly, take a long hard look at the enhancements listed for Android 4.2 over Android 4.1. See anything? Let me list the new features;

.wireless display - we already have this

.screen-saver type photo functionality when docked - I had this on my HTC Incredible on 2.1 ,never cared to use it or see if I have it now.

.expandable notifications - this is actually new!

.new camera functions - partly hardware specific, still behind Sense and TouchWiz camera software, but catching up

Basically, Android 4.2 (vanilla) is still catching up to Sense and TouchWiz. The biggest things we're getting with our 4.1.2 update aren't Android base features. Outside of Project Butter, all we care about are the new Touchwiz features (ripple lock screen, nature UX, smart stay, etc.). So what I'm saying is that, while the Nexus is an awesome device and you will get updates straight from Google for 18-ish months, you're always going to be using what is essentially an incomplete beta product. Some love this. Some hate it. Just make sure that you're ok with it going into it.

Lastly, I want to explain something on OEM support. The Nexus S was released December of 2010 with Android 2.3. Its last update was 4.1.2 on October 2012, 22 months after release. By comparison, the Galaxy S II was released in April of 2011 with Android 2.3 AND TouchWiz. It's final update may very well be Android 4.1.2 in January 2013, 21 months after release. So by comparison, we received the same level of support as a Nexus device. Our updates were about 6 months later, but more refined as opposed to being in beta status.
