Ohhh God!! If S2 I9100 is taking such a long time for Jelly OTA, then I don't know when will I get JB.....I got a I9100G which was updated to ICS after a month from I9100.....:crying:

Will it be the same for JB as well? Let me know and I will switch to S3 today itself...:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:

Hahaha!! Lolzzz....Nice one.

I was a noob with android when I got S2 and did not knew Samsung was shipping a different spec-ed S2 which was not par the one in all the news. As I live in India, I have only two options, GT-I9300 and GT-I9305(not sure if this is available). I don't need LTE, so I will go with GT-I9300..... :p

Every time I see how great CM is on the G, I wish I'd have one. :(
[Galaxy S II General] saad_momin:
Well, I understand custom roms are great on the 'G' model but its still custom, right? it will have bugs and issues. I would love to root my phone and install CM on it but i would like to install official rom on it once its released. Now, I have asked this several times but nobody has answered it.

If I root my phone and flash CM (JB) on it, how can I install the official JB when its released? Do I have to flash it, or flash stock ICS and update it OTA? How?
[Galaxy S II General] hazwheel:
Should be able to flash it via Odin using the PDA, modem and CSC files
[Galaxy S II General] saad_momin:
This is interesting. While waiting for a reply here, I checked my phone settings and found info below:

Android Version: 4.0.4

BaseBand Version: I9100GDDLP7

Build Number:IMM76D.XXLPZ

I searched for steps for rooting this firmware but can't find anything. Also which JB rom is the most stable with all the basic features like phone, Wifi, bluetooth, Camera, etc working fine? Please share some links. If there is a guide to do all this, it would be even better and helpful for me. Will be grateful..

:good:
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Unless you have a **** device (eg. I9100) custom Roms aren't full of bugs. Usually custom ROMs have way less bugs than official ROMs since the devices receive the updates much, much faster and are supported longer.

When a bug is fixed in CM, the fix is in tomorrows nightly.

When a bug fixed in MIUI, it's in the next weekly.

*IF* a bug is fixed by Samsung (in this case), you might wait a long time.

CM and MIUI also don't drop a former flagship ASAP.

You can downgrade ( ;) ) your device to official JB in various ways. The easiest way would be using Heimdall or Odin.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
All you I9100G and Pantech burst users please go to your respective forums and ask your question there. Flash any files whatever you want from there and stop yourself from flashing anything blindly from here.

I don't mind you staying here or discussing about topic. Speaking of I9100G model where they are the minority, there's no news about JB on it. The only S2 variant as far as I know to get a JB leak is Sprint S2 (Epic touch 4G).

[Galaxy S II General] saad_momin:
Hmmm....Thanks for that.

I think the S2 I9100 (carrier free) also got the official JB leak. The link is pasted hazwheel up there. Nevermind, all I want is to get JB on my phone. Everybody says that G version has a stable version of custom JB rom but no one tells me which one (I can see atleast 15 roms atleast). That is the only thing I want to know. I got confused when I saw the firmware on my phone which is not listed anywhere. Thats what got me confused and hence I asked so many questions. Sorry about this.

Waiting for them to say, "By December end."
[Galaxy S II General] Bleeding-Edge-Armour:
:P

And by the time they officially roll out the release in my country it would be March or even May
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
Not just you. UK unlocked users have to wait an ungodly time (unless we flash another country's firmware). Samsung has a deal with several UK carriers that states that the unlocked UK handset does NOT get an update until after all of those carriers have rolled it out. It's why we never got anything above 2.3.4 for GB and it's why we had to wait longer for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.
[Galaxy S II General] egps2:
Thanks for sharing that, has there been any other confirmation?
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
A few of the Samsung regional websites updated their "November" estimates to either "Q4" or "DEC." As for this, it's not confirmation. It's just SamMobile (no official connection to Samsung) guessing another month. If they do this monthly (as they've always done), they'll eventually be right and most people will forget that they've been wrong in the past.

They also get a TON of credit for firmware leaks when all they do is upload and host the **** after someone else leaked it (like the JB leak here on XDA). But hey, SM gets all the credit!
[Galaxy S II General] egps2:
That's so true! I've been a bit busy lately and haven't followed close enough so thanks for clarifying that for me! Lucky the last few ICS roms have been great or these constant date revisions would drive me crazy! Thanks again and hopefully we'll hear bout that Galaxy Ace 2 as well but I don't think it has it's own forum here yet!
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
Try to tune it out and be patient. I'm planning on February for the UK rollout now, so I hopefully won't be disappointed. I look at it like this. I expected minor updates roughly every 6 months. So, my updates look like this:

OCT 2011 - 2.3.4 (when I purchased my SGS2)

MAY 2012 - 4.0.3 (when the ICS rollout hit my phone)

AUG 2012 - 4.0.4 (not quite 6 months, but...)

FEB 2013 - 4.1.2

AUG 2013 - 4.3? 5.0? Whatever, it will be on my NEW phone :)

So there you have it, roughly 6 months with every update. So I figure 6-9 months after I get 4.1.2, I'll be getting a new phone anyway.

I've been using odexed leak flashed with Mobile Odin all the time and notification from software update has apparently changed.

I was wondering if we could get our leak the same way when I saw that change of notification, but nothing has happened since then.

I'm not so sure about it. The leak is not the official ROM. I think that as for Galaxy Note it was some kind of test update to test ROM. It won't necessarily happen in Galaxy S II case.

does the project butter working in xxlsj? its not so smooth like gnex or friend's S III.
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
Well the leak is so much smoother than the official ICS ever was (from what i have seen), so I'm sure it is working. Also, keep in mind the s2 hardware is quite old now. The S3 has twice the horse power, and the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have to load any bloatware, it runs pure vanilla JB.
[Galaxy S II General] Jgjd691995:
Project Butter is activated, i use perfmon regularly and when i touch the screen the cpu jumps to max, hence if not all of butters is working there is at least 50% working:)
[Galaxy S II General] minidou-77:
It was already there with GB (on our devices only)

But I'm not sure it jumps to max freq (it used to be 500Mhz before JB)
[Galaxy S II General] Jgjd691995:
Yes exactly 500 is the samsung default added code however this jumps to max so i think it is more original android code
[Galaxy S II General] cpl.Bower:
Right

:laugh: What?. Are you saying that a dual core cpu at 1.2GHz (!!) with one of the most state of the art gpu that a phone could have is old?. Are you saying that because you are a consumer or why?. I know ppl with 10 years phones and they say nothing about the hardware, and for sure a lot of ppl wont buy a phone every year, its pointless. Remember is just a phone, to call ppl. smart? I really doubt it :laugh::good:
[Galaxy S II General] MPooZD:

[Galaxy S II General] nims11:
1.2Ghz dual core with 1GB RAM is more than enough to run

and many new phones not have equal hardware still run JB smoothly

so atleast hardware is not that old except you are talking in term of usage of your phone

Spamming a group that has no official affiliation with Samsung is not going to cause the rollout to happen any faster. Samsung will rollout JB when it is done and not a moment before. Harassing someone else won't change this.

The cure is buy an iPhone.

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
The cure is to find a phone that does at least 90% of what you want out of the box. Case in point, my last phone was a Droid Incredible. I flashed ROMs like crazy but still couldn't find what I want. I ended up making my own custom ROM (which I released on these boards). Finally, I kanged CM7 for my own use (never released it).

With the SGS2, I have never even had to root. With the Incredible, I had to monitor battery life just to get a day out of it. With the SGS2, I could leave wifi/gps/bt on 24/7 and still get a full day and change. On light usage scenarios, I'd actually get 2 days on a charge. Being an international handset, there was no carrier bloat. My two main concerns were handled without the need for root. The only other concern is long update lifespan, and the SGS2 has met that. If I get 6 months out of 4.1.2 before I switch phones, I'll be happy.

So the cure for flashing is to identify why you need to flash, and then find a device that offers what you crave out of the box.
[Galaxy S II General] egps2:

Wifi on SG2 with JB 4.1.2 goes into sleep mode?

The wifi itself doesn't drop off but I need to disable wifi then enable it to get internet connection. It was all fine on 4.0.3.
