[Galaxy S II General] :
no there is no need to talk about something else. we already discussed about the release, the date, features, and more. and its announced to come this month, about the leaked roms the sprint version is the closest preview we have yet it still has no GSM/DATA/Network and may not get it, but face it is a leaked preview and its not ment to be a daily usage Rom, but for those who wants to try the jelly bean Rom by Samsung its a fun place to start. Its not for our device but worked obviously better then i expected. And Samsung did do a good job.

this is a Official jelly bean topic which means jelly bean "4.1" only. nothing more or less nor anything aside that.

we don't want the thread to be closed do we? also the thread is a sticked "sticky/pinned" which means it won't go anywhere, nor up or down, but it still can be closed.

when theres a leak it will be announced because There will be always be an announcement somewhere.

now please stay on topic :cowboy:

Good Night to you all!

Well mate being proud user of a S2 does not mean talk trash, want to talk about nokia go and talk about nokia in a nokia forum, want to talk about nexus talk about it on a nexus forum just don't SPAM the topic.

And sorry about the off topic but i had to say it after reading 2 and some pages of nonsense.
[Galaxy S II General] Floydfire:
I don't know if you have tried some of the features of 4.2, I'm writing with aosp 4.2 keyboard and it's awesome, I have also installed clock and gallery app on cm10 and it's awesome how Google have simplified and improved his os.. I think after the release of jb 4.1.1 from Samsung and the source release of 4.2 maybe we can have also cm with 4.2, BTW installing the simply app on a rooted 4.1.1 of 4.2 android make me also happy and I cannot understand why you guys have an s2 if Samsung it's this devil for you... I mean, Samsung isn't good neither bad more than other. Google: new nexus = no battery removable like an iPhone? For me is more bad than no software update. The software not updated make the phone also usable with no more costs through the years, change battery after some time and bam! S2 (for example) is back! But with an unremovable battery? After some time your beloved nexus 4 become old and your battery isn't changeable so if you need a phone for emergency (in my family most of my old phone it's conserved for "if i brick my actual phone i have the courtesy phone xD) hope I have make clear what I think it's important, hardware and os it's together. Crappy hardware = last os useless / crappy os + good hardware = useless hardware / not bad os + good hardware = good phone ( this is our case) and good os + good hardware = ideal, utopia phone. Yes. I think the good is + good hardware it's only an utopia because everyone of us think the perfect phone different than each other. So maybe for you the best is an updated phone for me it's also a matter of how this phone work with not updated os. And I think s2 with ICS, or better jb that will come officially (I'm now since 2 month in cm10) works really good. I mean do you have see an iPhone 3gs with ios6? I did and I know it's completely different than android but it's the same phone of ios5 except for the ****ty choice of ios6 xD so we have an update maybe the last that introduced more feature and this is good but if hardware doesn't support anymore update it's useless an updated. You can't install windows 7 on an outdated pc. If 4.2 it's buildable for s2 I think xda will give us. Android it's powerful for this community. Stop complaining about Samsung update. Complain about the source that Samsung didn't release. But not here. To Samsung. So I didn't say much until now but now I said all of I have thought reading this topic...

[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
The reps from tech support follow standard script/template for replying to emails of customers.

They have no clue if firmware update for a device is planned at such an early stage.

I'll wait for a official statement or a press release from Samsung in August/September

[Galaxy S II General] peachpuff:
The christian post said that? What did the athiest post say?
[Galaxy S II General] julle131:
There is no source. They might have used other sourceless news as their source.
[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
According to German media there are rumors that the S3 will get 4.1 end 2012 (I think when Google will release Key Lime Pie^^), so if they will release it for the S2, then July 2013 seems to be a very reasonable time :cyclops:

I'll stick with AOSP, I strongly believe that the first nightlys will be available in August, who gives a sh*t about Touchwiz anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] rob_c6:
If the source isn't released and we aren't even able to get a AOKP or AOSP release before Jul 2013 then I will not be buying another Samsung/Touchwize device ever again.
[Galaxy S II General] Draak22:
And why do you think Google wouldn't release the source...?
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
I don't view it as a guess, more an informed prediction.
[Galaxy S II General] rob_c6:
If that is the case, I have probably misunderstood the development process. I thought everything was in the SDK.

But for the samsung devices for ICS I remember the development of CM9 was slowed because samsung did not release the drivers or something. Didnt want that to happen again.
[Galaxy S II General] Draak22:
Google has announced to release the sources mid July. Samsung will release their sources eventually because they have to. Only it can take some time for Samsung to release them. But since the ICS to JB changes probably aren't that big, the sources from Google will do just fine.
[Galaxy S II General] usandthem1973:
Why wait for the official samsung rom. When they release it it will be almost outdated.

Our eyes should be on the official Google source code l.

Nobody wants touchwiz on top of that butter :)
[Galaxy S II General] rjsmer:
OMG... Certain hardware limitations could hold Samsung Galaxy S2 owners back from receiving the Android 4.1, JellyBean update....

Can you belive this Lol...

Hardware limitations 1.2ghz cpu and 1GB ram is not enough to run jelly bean...?

http://www.christianpost.com/news/s...android-4-1-jellybean-due-to-hardware--77519/

If it comes true then I'm not going to invest in samsung again only a pure Google phone... HUHU!!!

Still I'm waiting for official announcement... :D:D:D

Dil h ki manta nai... :p:p:p
[Galaxy S II General] Mysterious99:
That probably isn't true because even the Galaxy Nexus has a dual core chip :)
[Galaxy S II General] adi5294:
[Q] would it be possible to flash d jb rom ( whn we do get one) on siyah's kernel or would again have to be a specific jb kernel which will make dual booting a problem again??? Sry bt m a noob so dnt knw much abt dis...

[Galaxy S II General] j510:
Are there even any members here on this forum who have ties in Samsung? Thats how we get leaks.
[Galaxy S II General] Vihru:
surely someone can leak it but any dont want :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] icebryanchan:
Can't wait for the stock ROM. :laugh::laugh:
[Galaxy S II General] aanvangs:
...still waitin' for the stock rom, I simply do like samsung's TW and stock staff (allshare, direct wifi full support, kies.....) soi'm gonna wait for the official release or any available leaks :)
[Galaxy S II General] :
i only wait for a leak, more than enough for me, as i know the sprint 4G version doesn't have the EMMC brick bug if you use stock recovery (neither did samsung official on 4.0.4)
[Galaxy S II General] Vazduh:
I think that a leak will be released when samsung will have its tacit approval. I also think that this is a reason for having insiders and leaks, being a cheep way to test the product by both developers and end users before they officially release it. So, bring it on to papa! :silly:
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Where's ma JELLAY BEENZ?!
[Galaxy S II General] shaunnicho:
I'm hoping they'll be a Leak soon :)
[Galaxy S II General] MPooZD:
Samsung said galaxy s3 will first get JB , after that galaxy s2 , then galaxy note ..

why galaxy note has got JB leaked before galaxy s2 ! it's unjust :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] californicated:
Because it's a leak and not the official release :p
[Galaxy S II General] :
almost all countries got JB on their phones if not than it can be a country/carrier problem, i saw in stores they don't upgrade to jelly bean, they still run 4.0.4 why i don't know, but still horrible
[Galaxy S II General] 23732:
I just got a software update on my phone, is that Jelly Bean? If so, is it safe to install it? I am running Siyah kernel 4.1.5.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
Its not on sammobile. So definitely its not JB :p :p
[Galaxy S II General] :
could be a minor update on 4.0.4 honestly i don't know, maybe its an upgrade that is pushed to a few people honestly i can't say. about update it depends if your kernel being changed to stock during flash, then you should be safe
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
How many MBs of update?? Cause Jelly Bean should be at lest 200/300mb of update

[Galaxy S II General] sosodemi:
Samsung GT-I8190 has received jellybean 4.1.1 in a lot of countries, hope next day i9100 will be next for 4.1.1 ...

Scroll down on the page to see for your self
[Galaxy S II General] :
usually comes when you hit upgrade :)

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

small reminder thats the SGS III mini and its compared to our phone brand new
[Galaxy S II General] 23732:
But is the update safe to install? As I said earlier, I am running Siyah 4.1.5 and stock ICS 4.0.4.
[Galaxy S II General] :
you don't need to apply the update you can just hit upgrade/install but it will have to download the package, but it should be safe however it should be safe, on TF101 an upgrade always comes with a kernel, so you should be secure
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
If you update through OTA is 200/300 mb because it downloads only the needed files, not the whole ROM! The Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean OTA for example il 297mb here in Italy! Of course if you download the full Firmware from the web it will be much more large!
[Galaxy S II General] RichardLSX:
Sorry to ask this very noobish question, but does this apply to the Samsung Epic Toucn also?
[Galaxy S II General] 23732:
When I clicked "Install", the phone had to be rebooted. So it went into CWM and a progress bar appeared. After that it rebooted back into ICS and it said failed to upgrade, try using Kies to upgrade.
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
Probably that's because you have a root! Anyways, before downloading the Update, you should have seen a notification like this, in which you can see how many MBs
[Galaxy S II General] :
its caused by custom recovery/root :)

can you tell me what rom you are using, etc XWLPG stock rom or anything? (4.0.4) what version so i may try it and see what it will say for me

if you read the comment closely it said an OTA update available however no size info, this is mostly seen as a minor update/improvement,

oh and can you take a screen shot of it please?
[Galaxy S II General] 23732:
I didn't see that screen, I only had a screen that said "Install" or "Later".

.

I have the Siyah 4.1.5 kernel, stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM and XWLPX-NEE build.
[Galaxy S II General] :
thanks for taking your time to answer my question

it may can be a new kernel that is included the brick bug fix.
[Galaxy S II General] 23732:
Yes, it might be. But shouldn't the Note 1 have the same upgrade then, since it also has the brickbug?
[Galaxy S II General] :
dunno if they have gotten a small update to 4.0.4 i only know it seems to be fixed in 4.1.1 by samsung
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
Mmmh, that's strange! Try to go to Settings-About Phone-Software Update (or something like that) and see if there are more news.

By the Way, Samsung Italia just confirmed we're getting JB soon, but in this case they say that they don't have any precise release date, while other countries' departments of Samsung (like Sweden) claim that JB will be released in November. I don't understand why they have different informations!
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I get the OTA update in alliance ROM but it was just 13mb.

Says "Stability update"
[Galaxy S II General] MPooZD:
show us screenshot !
[Galaxy S II General] widita:
I am waiting patiently....

Hopefully Samsung will bring TouchWiz UX Nature from SGS3 to our devices, with some useful features as well!
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
I was thinking what's this model - GT-I8190 as no. is lesser than ours and could be something introduced before i9100. After doing a search its Galaxy S3 mini :facepalm: and it cannot be compared here.

No idea what "soon" is according to Samsung?
[Galaxy S II General] ohwarumbloss:
I had this problem from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 when I was on Siyah. I think it's because of the Recovery. So if you want that update you will need stock Kernel or Kies.
[Galaxy S II General] khrone:
Its an update to lpy version nee :)
[Galaxy S II General] j510:
Wow sammobile isn't the only source for a leak

Touchwiz... i had tried the new touchwiz isnt that awesomeness... it's just the touchwiz a little better than 4...

[Galaxy S II General] :
nothing huge, its as the touchwiz you saw when you used 4.0.4 with twiz (at least most of it)

than there have possibly been improvements etc i can't say but this is the nature version lol
[Galaxy S II General] j510:
Who said I was talking about UX? By touchwiz I meant touchwiz in general including gestures. I like touchwiz 4.

By the way, if your not even waiting for stock jelly bean, why are you even on this thread? Just to say you have a customrom? No one cares. People.on this thread are anticipating for the Stock jellybean from Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] Floydfire:
I know i hate the sound of touch XD the aqua sound it's extremely irritating CD but the touchwiz 5 isn't bad than toichwiz 4... so maybe Samsung can make me stay on his ROM for some time (maybe not, cm10 ftw xD)

judging by this

http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-readying-refreshed-galaxy-s2-titanium-9999

i think its sure to say this "refreshed" s2 will have JB and its out on holidays

po probably not long until we get JB also, it seems they are same devices internals-wise
[Galaxy S II General] mesaj:
if note was done, i think we will also get update because samsung got programmed jb for smdk4210 board. just small system partition could be problem and maybe resolution but s3mini also have jb :)
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
S3 mini doesn't use Exynos 4410. It uses a Sony NOVA SOC, which is very similar anyway (dual-core A9 + Mali-400).
[Galaxy S II General] j510:
S3 mini is brand new of course it will be getting jelly bean.

You think its not going to receive new updates? It just got released. What you think its EOL from the day of launch?
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
It's a bad comparison or analogy comparing it to our device.

B/w, I have been searching on twitter and news sites daily to see if there's news of any leak of rom for S2 but no information to be found :(
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
18 months is the standard for ASOP (I'm not talking of CM). It's a Google requirement I believe.
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
The S3 Mini is being released with 4.1 JB and likely will see 4.2. I never said that it wouldn't. I was responding to another person who claimed that the S3 Mini having JB was good for us due to Exynos 4 hardware. I was stating that the S3 Mini does not use Exynos, it uses Nova.

It's not. There was a pledge by OHA members to do a minimum of 18 months of updates, but that fell through pretty quickly. Motorola is abandoning a lot of handsets released in the last 18 months. It was never a requirement.

sadly i noticed that after i posted my post and i already got a thanks, i still haven't heard anything about any upcoming leak for SGS II GT-I9100 though,
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
That's okay. Mistakes happen to anyone when they are over excited for nothing :D

It seems like even this month might pass by with nothing to see. :(
[Galaxy S II General] :
i think ill throw my SGS II soon. i hate the low "RAM" and its not good enough for me anymore.

also about system i hate to have the non working experience with ICS, its just to bad, and CM10 isn't enough for me. due to RAM Leakage etc.

i need an updated phone,
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Low RAM? It could be your usage but can you give me specific instances where you feel low RAM is a problem/concern for you?

Agree that Galaxy S2 is not dev friendly and has issues with delayed software updates but it's not something to throw away. May be if you're someone who wants the latest and greatest phone and has a lot of money to throw away every 6 months (usual release schedule of new Android phone).
[Galaxy S II General] :
i think 1GB ram when only 8xx is available for usage, that is not good, as i run apps that takes some ram consumption,

and the battery is getting worse (well this can be changed) but anyway it feels like it not meeting my standards in performance these days, but its still faster then my Macbook Pro with I5 :silly:

but i may wait to see how JB performance is going to be, (sadly i think the Jelly bean Sprint 4G version) wasn't a good start yet its still Test and leaked version, but it wasn't running that smooth as i thought it should be.

darn i hope samsung won't fail with this update, as of now i haven't seen anything Speed wise that impressed me.

it was really slower in commands etc menu or back,
[Galaxy S II General] clay21:
No leak yet :confused:...i think Sammy locked up the devs working on the jb firmware in a the basement and will only let them out when the firmware is ready for release :):rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] lurker316:
Samsung just made a killing this year. Something to the tune of billions of $. If they cannot support their high end products then they arent trying hard enough. They are entitled to their mismanagement delays. We are entitled to our uninformed criticism of them. I would expect them to atleast give up and make the galaxy s2 a pure android phone by handing the reigns of development to the community. Only respectable thing to do if you cannot keep up.
[Galaxy S II General] Krishnadusad:
Even i thought it was :/
[Galaxy S II General] j510:
They already announced that we are getting jelly bean. What more can you ask for, its you thats being impatient.
[Galaxy S II General] jgcaap:
I kind of agree with lurker. Samsung doesn't meet up well with users demand. It makes the devices with good chips look like a mid end device since is badly coded. They can be with a stressful department but as a user I don't care. I care that I paid 500euros for a disappointment, where I need xda community to make my device good and eficient, getting things working much better than stock. That anoys me.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
One can dream but that's never going to happen:p
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
What are your issues with stock? With my Droid Incredible, I actually had to develop my own ROM to get exactly what I wanted out of it for awhile, before moving on to CM. Since getting the SGS2, I have not rooted or put a custom firmware on it. It came with 2.3.4 (KI4), and has since been upgraded via Kies to 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. The 4.0.3 update had some minor annoyances that got fixed in the more recent update.

So again, what are your issues with the stock software?
[Galaxy S II General] jgcaap:
Sound, could be much better.

Lagness compared to cm9 (wich is much faster)

Kernel not as tuned as should be for a regular user.

Quality image color of câmara, better on cm.

Bloatware (alot of unnecessary apps activated).

Speed.

I don't remember much more for now. Don't use ics for a while
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Name of apps please? I'm really curious about it

Having more RAM is making your device future proof but I doubt there are any apps which actually utilize it. Also comparison of phone to mac book is like comparing apples to oranges :rolleyes:

Regarding spring 4G test f/w, it's not meant for daily use and not intended for our model so using that as an example to test speed of phone is plain silly and wrong. ;)
