i assume it is not bricked as it just stopped getting calls/messages while i was using the phone, this didn't happen after i flashed any rom this did happen when i used a Stock ROM, and i had no problems with this before and its rare that its just stops working when i was using the phone :(
[Galaxy S II General] ohwarumbloss:

I really appreciate the post but we all know that samsung officialy confirmed that we will be getting Jellybean and most probably in november.

My point is word "soon" is very definet time period. :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] deniso177:
I wonder if samsung will ever release their source code to cyanogenmod developers so we can have a stable cm10 for the sg2.

They did have a period where they clearly knew what the development public wanted.

http://www.androidcentral.com/cyanogenmod-coming-galaxy-sii-thanks-samsung
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
CM10 will reach same state of stability to what CM9 is right now. Samsung will never publish any device specific code and with JB release, only kernel sources is least you can expect from them.

Samsung never advertised or announced that any code would be provided to devs when galaxy series phones were launched. Everyone knew this as well when they purchased it so sooner or later every galaxy phone gets screwd with updates.
[Galaxy S II General] timleewm:
Relatively noob question: Why is everyone holding off and waiting in anticipation for the JB release when there are quite a few JB roms in the forum? From reading those threads, they seem to be rather stable.

I'm relatively adept at flashing roms/kernels but am holding off doing that on my new SII until I get the official JB (for reasons I don't even know!). Does it make a difference if I flash some custom JB rom now? Am I able to get the OTA release or will I end up flashing that?

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II General] milan188:
For the first time in quite a while a Sammy Jelly Bean rom looks to be a better rom than any of the CM10 based roms. The new features if implemented properly will make it an amazing rom even for the Google purists.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Reasons sorted on priority why I "personally" don't use JB custom roms from here

- RIL crash

- Less Battery life

- Main feature of JB over ics (i.e : project butter) doesn't work

- Few features such as WIFI direct, Radio etc don't work but there are work arounds for it however stock rom is better

- Only usable as a secondary rom and cannot be considered as stable due to bugs.

Edit:

Now I'm waiting for some CM10 user or fan to flame me to death :p
[Galaxy S II General] deniso177:
Ye when I had my lg-p500 I was a big fanboy of CM7, but i flashed quiet a lot and if any problems arose just flashed again, but ever since i got the sgs2 I find the stock roms are more than enough (with a few mods such as themes and notfication bar widgets), and of course very stable compared to cm.

Also it is worth to mention that since I gave my lg to my mum, she actually had a few problems such as settings being reset and various problems (as of course i stopped flashing on a weekly basis), so i flashed a stock lg rom and she hasn't had a complaint yet, so even tho cm is a lot more customised in some cases, unless the manufactures release every code necessary for the various devices, aokp and cm will never be as stable as stock roms.

anyway heres the end of my online rant, I havent posted anything on xda for a while so i thought id make my mark =)
[Galaxy S II General] ohwarumbloss:
So... flaming... you... to.... HELLLLL ;)

For your Information: any cm10 Rom made me restore my stock in less than 30 minutes due to several problems but: the latest mcm build is awesome! Lost 7% Battery in 9 hours of standby, NO ril crashes ( my ril/modem fits) and everything is very smooth.

Will test a little more today but to me, this is a pretty stable and useable Version. So far...
[Galaxy S II General] timleewm:
Cheers - thanks guys... at least now I know there's a valid reason for me to hold off until the official release!

My main anticipation for JB is the Project Butter and Voice Search so if the former doesn't work in custom ROMs, then there's no point for me. I'm not a massive fan of tweaking 101 settings so it doesn't bother me.

So now, we continue the waiting game eh?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
I have to admit cm10 on S2 is a mess. Ril bugs, stuttery and laggy, battery life horrendous and so forth.

I'll wait for N4

Debloated jb firmware + launcher will be my answer I hope :)
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
You want to flash a custom rom, get a Nexus. It's plain and simple. I don't think there is any non nexus device which runs custom rom based on AOSP and has 100% stability.

Everyone's mileage varies. If you notice CM10 official user thread, not everyone has RIL crash and frequency of crashes varies. Same with battery life and stability is not same

Yes, Stand behind me in Queue.

If you buy iPhone you need to wait in front of the stores for hours to buy it but if you buy Galaxy series phone you need to wait for months together for updates. :p
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
I'll never use a stock rom. I would miss all the beautiful aosp apps (contacts, sms,...). Especially the inverted ones.

My feedback

Paranoid should be removed and added to updateme

Most links from updateme arent working.

Aokp and jellybam settings are enough

Long press button on lockscreen enables torch (to be added)

Remove bloatware (still have a lot of google crap)

Rom is great and fast.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
You realize you can flash or use AOSP apps on Sammy roms as well right.

There are custom cooked roms based on stock such as Chameleon rom which gives you stability of Samsung rom and AOSP looks along with AOSP apps such as dialer,sms etc
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
The last time I tried that (at ics times) aosp apps like sms and contacts had bugs as hell and dialer was the sammy dialer just themed. But doesn't matter anymore cause I'll get the N4

OT:

I'm not a fan of early adopting technology or gadgets unless it's worth is proved in real world. The early hardware reviews of N4 have been disappointing and has been overshadowed with strong feature of early Android updates. I'm gonna skip N4 and wait for next one.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Guys, i'll say it once more. If you decide to move to another device and rant about how touchwiz sucks and sgs2 is crap blah blah. Please create a thread about it and stay there. As the thread title say, this thread is for the discussion of official JB (even though it's not released etc) for sgs2. We don't care how much money you have and get a device every week or how you despise samsung because TW sucks(?) Blah blah. If this thread dies because of inactivity then so be it rather than rants about off topic stuff. Cheers! :)

[Galaxy S II General] ioddrine:
there are lots of launchers/ sms apps, dialer/contact apps in google play store so you can customize the stock that it retains nothing of the looks of touchwiz if you hate it so much

guys like you should be tortured while being put to read all the 395 pages of this thread...
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
No official ETA other than "soon." You should be planning for the last day of November, then be pleasantly surprised if it comes early.

Also, keep in mind that this will be for the first rollout, likely Poland. If you're like me, using a UK model and waiting for Kies instead of flashing, I'd expect mid-January. Samsung has a deal with several UK carriers that guarantees that they will not update their unlocked handsets in that region until AFTER the carriers push their updates. It's the reason we were stuck on 2.3.4 when other countries had 2.3.6/2.3.7, it's the reason we had to wait about 6 weeks after the ICS rollout, and it's the reason the UK SGS3 had to wait about 6 weeks from their rollout.

Correct. Android 4.0 was released to source on October 11, 2011. The initial 4.0.3 rollout for the SGS2 was in early April, 2012. I think UK handsets got it in mid-May.

yeah was going to point that out to

i don't want to say what manufacture (HTC) is really bad on this, also many others too

i do was surprised that a phone worse than LG-P500 was getting ICS 4.0.x

and they that was HTC Desire P (i think)

still it may be a new phone but they said it will never work,

about jelly bean samsung confirmed its coming in Nov and many ICS Leaks was told being released before official ICS release (i bet this was almost some month before it was pushed out) so don't worry about release it should come in Nov
[Galaxy S II General] Leviathan13:
Thanks for clearing that up guys, much appreciated
[Galaxy S II General] gszabi:
Waiting and waiting... Ive flashed cm10 for second rom, used some hours ans boot back to official ics with deluxe settings. Cm10 for have produced many frustrating lag eg: An incoming call display still black, after some seconds the lockscreen appeared, then need to unlock wait another seconds to show up the dialer screen. A real phone should not work like this, atleast the phone functions should not lag like this. So im really waiting for JB, wondering if it will be as fast if not faster then the Blackberry 9900 GUI :)

[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
Not according to Google. They claim that they are dropping anyone who demonstrated that they themselves can do it, as Sony demonstrated with this product. They (Sony) now have AOSP 4.1.2 running on it with a few elements missing, and have stated that they will skip to 4.2 before fixing those elements.

Would love to see Samsung do something similar, but in the meantime, I'm more than happy to take whatever they give me for JB. I'm keeping my SGS2 for at LEAST 6 more months. Their treatment of us on this phone will determine where I look in 6-12 months.

[Galaxy S II General] brittonberkan:
Well, that's the question in the room, and we're all waiting for the answer.

One thing that *might* be an indication that we get 4.1:

1. Samsung still hasn't released 4.0.4 for our devices, even though the differences between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 are not that huge...they could've done this very quickly IMO.

2. Samsung probably had early access to Jelly Bean, presumably for about 2-3 months. That means they knew right after upgrading our phones to ICS that a bigger update was coming.

Upgrading to 4.0.4. would be pretty pointless knowing that a bigger update is about to be released, so just MAYBE they'll forget about 4.0.4. and focus on 4.1. instead

ICS was blue.

So JB is also ICS but faster?
[Galaxy S II General] :

[Galaxy S II General] mateash2002:
GB - 2.3

ICS - 4.0

JB - 4.1

The first three were all major releases. This is just an update. Enjoy the speed and Google Now and if ur still unhappy about the colour, there're always custom roms ;)

You just contradicted yourself. As you pointed out, this is an update not a major release so wouldn't it follow the same naming convention weve seen so far in that it should be ICS 4.1? Why give it a new name? (GB, 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and so on)

Anyway, should be interesting if we get it.

[Galaxy S II General] Kronkels:
Info

While its successor, the S3 is a shoe-in to upgrade, the S2 lacks some of the components it would need to allow the OS to run smooth and efficiently on the smartphone.

Some of these hardware limitations include low screen resolution, with most S2s having a 800 x 480 resolution, and the fact that it features a dual-core processor, while quad-core chips are preferred for JellyBean.

Another thing that could hold the S2 back from receiving the new Android build is that the handset will not run as smoothly with JellyBean and TouchWiz working simultaneously.

A similar situation occurred when Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich launched at the end of last year with the Galaxy S I9000. Samsung announced that the smartphone was not going to be upgradable to ICS due to hardware limitations and incompatibility with other software already running on the handset.

Samsung is expected to announce the rest of the list for devices that will be JellyBean 4.1 updatable. The only two guaranteed devices as of today are the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Nexus.

So keep on stock ics ROM or custom ROM, and wait for a succesfull port!
[Galaxy S II General] emceeb:
How do I like this comment

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

I don't buy the hardware argument simply bcoz the US variant of S3 is a dual core not a quad core just like our s2

AFAIK they are adding tripple buffering so that the processor and the GUI doesn't have to wait for each another to work, I am sure S2 can do that given the right coding.

Also it doesn't hurt to be a bit optimistic and if nothing works we always got XDA I am sure someone will create a JB for us S2 people.

What say guys ?
[Galaxy S II General] Powereh:
DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP

[Galaxy S II General] lowrider82:
What you say makes no sense. Galaxy Nexus has a at best equally powerful specs to GS2 and got Jelly Bean. The only plus Gnex has, is resolution, but I don't see any reason why resolution should be an issue to porting.
[Galaxy S II General] Draak22:
Enough with those unreliable sources. No one will know weither the SGS2 get JB until Samsung announces their list. Until then just wait. It won't take long. And if we do receive 4.1, the actual update itself will take ages. Besides, who wants Touchwiz anyway when there's a new Cyanogenmod based on JB around the corner. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Well, if we do get on the list, it is better to wait for something than nothing :) i actually use touchwiz when i sometimes get bored with AOSP look :D

Hello Samsung. The SGS2 came out just over a year ago, and Samsung agreed to the 18 months of updates... so I hope you guys are going to keep your word and update the SGS2 to Jelly Bean? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
Nexus S, which has the same 480x800 resoulution powered by SINGLE CORE processor, will get the JB update, so I don't see any hardware limitations of the S2 to receive JB update.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Guys, since samsung said that they will be announcing the list for eligible devices (excluding SGS3 and GNex since they are already on the list), i just thought we might be one of those "eligible" since samsung hasn't have that many high-end devices that can compete with sgs2. Two of those "eligible" devices might be GNote and SGS2. What do you think guys? :)
[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
There are simply no Hardware limitations on the S2 for jellybean, the only limitation is MONEY, if Samsung can invest some $$$ for good Marketing then the update will come... in a year or so^^

That JB is optimized for Quadcores only and HD resolution only is just plain BS,

you either can optimize for single thread usage (single core) OR

you can optimize for multi thread usage (multi core)... AND YES A DUALCORE IS MULTICORE

Besides that Android is not iOS, it has no problems whatsoever to deal with different screen resolutions.

Wake up people, don't believe the "hardware limitations" BS.
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
Yeah! We never pay attention to this aspect, they said "a

Iist of eligible devices" so excluding the Galaxy Nexus, which has already been confirmed, we have the S3, which will obviously get JB, and some other devices, otherwise the "list" will be very short, won't it? :D among all Samsung's devices, there are only a few high end devices that cam handle JB! I am optimistic, I think Samsung will update the S2 and Note to JB, but I think this will happen at least at the end of 2012 or beginning of 2013 as they give priority to the S3
[Galaxy S II General] Deadboy2201:
