[Galaxy S III General] Sincci:
Yeah, I'm not buying this. Google Play, Video Player and Google Now are more like software updates and won't require a new version of the operating system (remember, this isn't Apple we are talking about). The customization thing might be true, but it won't get you the latest updates just like that since the hardware components are different with pretty much every phone, just like ivan1real said. And the triple amount of batterylife won't really happen just because of the different hardware components. There really aren't that many "magical" ways to increase the batterylife unless you know how the hardware works exactly to control the battery usage properly (and even then, it would be up to the manufacturer, not Google, to optimize their drivers).

Also, there have been hints that the next Android version would still be called Jelly Bean much like 2.0 and 2.1 were both called Eclair:

According to this article in Androidpolice.com, the Nexus phone build numbers first letter usually tell you the what the operating system's name is. For example, with Gingerbread, everything began with G, with ICS with I and now with JB with J. So, if the Android 4.2's build numbers also start with J, it couldn't be called Key Lime Pie.

Perhaps request a mod to sticky this. This is sure to stir up some posts and seems like a good thread to use. Great job on the OP though..it's a good intro and nicely done! :)

Oh and you should link the source. You mention the source but no link??
[Galaxy S III General] ChilliBo:
I'll do that, thank you, hope it's helpful for you :)

[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Well.. I'm just thinking it may be helpful to have 1 place for all the rumors and bs. I know it would take a miracle for there not to be anymore nonsense threads about Key Lime Pie coming soon but... and since the OP is done well, and not just a simple sentence... why not ;)
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
i like the customization center part than the rest of the stuffs...
[Galaxy S III General] mug2k:
+1, has the potential to be huge. I hope manufacturers can get the updates out a helluva lot quicker. Love the sound of road runner too. Seems too good to be true tbh
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Roadrunner, the only thing android really needs.
[Galaxy S III General] Nas Eiesefpi:
Project Roadrunner seems interesting.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Roadrunner is interesting.......but it's a shame Samsung will take all the improvements, as usual, and mess them up with TW.
[Galaxy S III General] blackyz:
Agreed. Trippled the battery life
[Galaxy S III General] Amritttt:

[Galaxy S III General] Oomahey:
You sure you are talking about Android? Seems like you are confused between iOS6 and KLP...;)
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
Sounds unlikely. With so few devices on jellybean, it's unlikely that android 4.2 will be released this year. Besides, there's usually only one major android update a year.
[Galaxy S III General] MiG123:
like project butter, i forsee roadrunner would only work well on nexus hardware and screw up on other hardware chipsets especially sammy's closed sourced exynos...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Haha. Project Roadrunner. Now that's one thing crapwiz wont take part of.
[Galaxy S III General] jayc1980:
Well, given Sammy screw ups, maybe Sammy will rename their version project Wile E. Coyote

[Galaxy S III General] IamIrene:
hmm not bad

project roadrunner @@

I wonder is there any huge difference between 4.0 and 4.1

yet, I also wonder those device like s2 and note getting it or not @@
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
What I want to no is will it fit on my phone with 1 gig of ram I bet the next nexus phone will have 2 gig I suppose I can look forward for a value pack on my galaxy s3
[Galaxy S III General] imfromwales:
doubt its gonna be coming out anytime soon, JB was only 3 months ago, they need to put more time into developing the OS, rather than pumping out new iterations, that very few handsets will run. there are only something like 2% of handsets running JB, so whats the logic behind releasing KLP so early, when the adoption rate of JB is minute!

I dont see what needs improving on JB, apart from the battery life, which should be increased with this Roadrunner. The new Play Store, new Google Now can just be pushed to devices, or simply updated via the play store, so i dont see why this would be a headline for KLP...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Android 4.2 will probably come out "soon", like in a few months on the Optimus G Nexus or whatever the rumors say the next Nexus will be (and what make) but OEM phones won't get it before 2013, that's for sure.
[Galaxy S III General] terranoid:
Project roadrunner is the most important thing. And i am looking forward for seeing it on our S3`s.
[Galaxy S III General] Manipulation:
Project Roadrunner sounds pretty good. I get decent battery usage out of my S3 as it is and if it can even double I'll be shocked. Everyone keeps saying that it'll only work on Nexus devices which will be wrong as Android is what uses the battery, nothing else. If you leave your phone on standby with nothing turned on it'll last quite a bit. All they need to do is set how and when things use the CPU and not use it unnesscary. Only the top phones will get 4.2 so they can base it on 1Ghz+ processors which will cover most phones. The customisation center sounds rather good. If you can run stock android on any phone and like touchwiz is then optional then this would be the best way to do it. Touchwiz is too slow for my liking so I don't use it anyway and if I didnt even have to have it on the phone even better.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
You might not see it with android ics and tochwiz we have no space left..new android Os getting bigger every update how the phone going to cope with 1 gig of ram
[Galaxy S III General] Skander1998:
Please keep the bull**** out, the mini duos has touchwiz, ics and with only 700~ RAM.

1Gb is definitely enough for many versions to come.

And, stop acting like a drama queen.
[Galaxy S III General] Morphling27:
I don't see why other companies not updating quickly to the latest version is anyone's fault but their own.

These are multinational, million and billion dollar businesses folks. Samsung, LG, HTC, etc. can all update quickly if they cared to. I know it's been beaten to death, but they honestly think adding different icons or a revamped launcher will set them apart - it doesn't. Having a great experience with excellent customer service and communication and great hardware will go extremely far too. Look at Apple and Google (with its nexus devices) and how they communicate and get stuff done. (I know this isn't always the case even with these two, but they're surely leaps ahead of the others)

So, I welcome a new version with all of these excellent sounding changes. I hope it gets pushed out soon and when it's ready. Mobile computing is moving forward and quickly. There are always enhancements, improvements, new features, and bug fixes to be sent out.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Honestly I am back on ics because the speed and buttery feeling is much better on my 1704mhz foxhound Rom. And yes I have even tweaked it as much as jb possible it does not compare to this ics setup I am running now. 14500 antutu. 7500 quadrant.

I can't seem to see what's so special about jb. I am talkin bout the official polish release. And forgot to mention random freezes games incompatible etc...

[Galaxy S III General] pähkinä:
That sounds really great, but I doubt that we will get all the benefits of this nexus program on our s3, maybe on the future models though. I think that we won't be getting the updates any faster then before, because manufacturers will still include their own skins in their roms.
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Oh your absolutely right.. in due time :)
[Galaxy S III General] Flypwnz:
What about Samsung touchwiz functions like smart stay or multiwindow etc. That's not theme and not real for Samsung or HTC.

[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
I am all for improvements but Google needs to look after their bread and butter better. If Samsung is going all out by trying to get Jelly Bean out at a reasonable time, Google should make them sign an NDA and just give them what they have of the 4.2 code before they almost finish touchwizzing 4.1 so then Samsung can do a simple update.

Now 4.2 is going to take a gazillion years and people will blame Samsung.

I guess if Google did that though then they would sell less Nexus devices. They need a better system. Either keep the updates once a year or fill everyone in on it.
[Galaxy S III General] billybobjones:
l isnt the point of 4.2 that oems can push it out for the hw and then push out the skin?
[Galaxy S III General] jody2k:
If it comes out it will come for the nexus first offcourse, when thats the case cm11 will be a fact ;) still im very happy with jellybean, battery with foxhound rom and siyah kernel is now as good as it was on ICS for me.
[Galaxy S III General] Morphling27:
I think Samsung has utterly and completely failed at getting out Jelly Bean in a reasonable time. All of these companies have. JB came out at the start of Summer. We're now into fall with little action.

It's clearly pathetic at this point. There are devices with like a handful of developers working in their spare time that have gotten a mostly working 4.1 build on devices. These guys aren't getting paid, it isn't their job, and they are working with what they have. Manufacturers like Samsung especially have no excuse since they can make the majority of the components in their phones so access to drivers and such shouldn't even be an issue.

I hope Google moves forward with or without companies. They're will always be another phone maker willing to step up and release stuff. I like that Google has partnered with many manufacturers to do Nexus devices and LG on board next is good. It shows that these companies CAN make a well spec'd phone and that it's possible to have it get updates timely.

Also - I don't know if this question has been asked or such - but why is it called project roadrunner? That seems like an odd name for a battery life project and not in line at all with Google's food naming scheme.
[Galaxy S III General] ajwconsult:
Let hope the rumors are true and UK can finally have the official JB release.

After finding this sight, I have opened my SG3 to any network, flashed JB onto ICS using Odin and rooted using CF-Root....

The guides are easy to follow... So, 4.2 due this year.... and hopefully same guides will do us proud.

I think there having problems with the 1 gig of ram android ics and touchwiz takes up most of the phone so what's jellybean and touchwiz going to be like

A Googler's response to Android 4.2 rumors

"LOL" :D

[Galaxy S III General] stierney:
Triple battery eh? seeing less than 15 % of my battery is due to o/s I seriously doubt that ;)

95 percent of users will have the screen as their main source of battery drain and nothing in the operating system can chang that ;).

they could however be talking about the o/s alone being a lot more streamlined but in real phone usage terms that would add no more than 5 to 10% which is a lot less than the 300 in the op ;)
[Galaxy S III General] MosquitoByte:
Someone know the ETA for Android 4.2?

When it will be available?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Sometime between 2012 and 2547.
[Galaxy S III General] Morphling27:
All the more reason to ditch these crappy overlays. I remember back in the 90s when PCs would have those extra things built in next to or on top of Windows. They were terrible. Netbooks more recently had them too sometimes with a crappy 'instant on' thing that never worked and bugged the machine out.

The only problem with phones is, we can't freakin' build one on our own to meet our needs so we're stuck with the crap they send us.
[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
You kidding me? Google giving them no heads up whatsoever on Jelly bean 4.1 and they already released it in Poland. That is fast.

Yes, the developers get out roms really quick but they really aren't that great or are direct ports from AOSP code or are full of bugs. not to mention that Samsung has a budget and doesn't have people working for them for free. If you actually think that the average XDA developer is really that superior to Samsung software engineers then you are more delusional than I thought. Of course you also totally ignore logistics and OTA roll out times world wide. It is not like they can post it in the development forum and tell you to just flash it, well I guess they could but no one runs a business that way.

Google needs to give their OEMs more of a heads up or we will see more totally unreasonable posts like yours.

Besides, going by your extremely weak and unreasonable logic, they already leaked like 8 test builds which are the equivalent of your roms.
[Galaxy S III General] theGreatSkua:
It's going to be 4.1.2 clearly. You either lack logic or are misinformed...

Also have multi accounts in play, OP. That is definite, not hearsay. As framework is already in 4.1.1
[Galaxy S III General] Morphling27:
What's wrong with it being a direct port of AOSP? Last time I checked, that was a completely acceptable thing. The phone makers release updates officially full of bugs - each one has had it happen at some point. I get Samsung has a budget and they are a business. Yes I get they pay people to do it - but that's the point I was making... it's their JOB. They obviously put in a lot of time to develop unlike our folks here who are usually doing this just to do it or whatever other reason they've come up with. It's not usually paying their bills though.

The logistics of an OTA update? Google and Apple seem to manage this. Samsung at the least is in the same league and we'll put Motorola in there too since they're now owned by Google. So - what's the logistics they need to do this? Also, they're have been cases where you had to hook your phone up to your computer and download the official update and go that route.

It's been what, approximately 3 months since JB hit the wild? This day and age stuff moves fast in the mobile world. It's not just 'I want the newest and think I deserve it" it's also about compatibility and security fixes. The updated OS's usually include many security fixes and these companies not release it quickly clearly shows a lack of concern for the end user.
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:
And its fake!!!

http://androidandme.com/2012/10/news/retraction-recent-android-4-2-rumors-were-fake/
[Galaxy S III General] theGreatSkua:
Lol. Told you.
[Galaxy S III General] GeckoD:
I could not agree less with just about everything Morphling27 is saying. You're living in some ideal fantasy world where everything works the first time on every device and companies can "just do it" and make it happen. I think this is the opposite of a lack of concern for the user: they should be sure it will integrate properly before they just throw it out there... Do we expect perfect and instant releases?

The real world doesn't work that way. Especially with an o/s used on such a large and diverse number of devices. I'm glad multiple companies try to put their own flavor into their products - it does help to set them apart, but much more than that it plays into the absolute best thing about android: versatility to support more options!

3 months can seem like a long time in this day and age, but it's really not. So I hope they work hard and dedicated, test and test again, and don't rush out a buggy version to satisfy unrealistic customers.

My point may be lost with the rumors being reported false, but I'm also glad they're out there, false or not... Get devs thinking about possibilities...

IMHO

Alright, so I've seen alot of posts asking about a root for the kindle fire 2

We've had multiple members use this method and it seems to work absolutley fine.

Follow the steps in this thread to gain root,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1893838

I was able to gain root while running ver 10.1.3 and I've seen many other members also able to do the same.

To use a launcher download the apk of the launcher you want to use, after installing move the apk file to your "app" folder found in the "system" file and change permissions for that apk to user - rw ; group - r ; other - r. Once those steps are done simply reboot your kindle and a prompt will appear asking which launcher to use.

Credits to the respective thread starters and to bodi524 for sharing the info with me.

[ list of recommended launchers ]

-Go launcher ( EX or HD )

-chameleon launcher

Huh. I can't get the .bat to recognize the device, despite installing the drivers and enabling ADB on the Kindle. However, when I do install the drivers, the installer looks like they install properly, yet I get a dialog that says "Drivers not installed successfully. Install manually." Or something to that effect. Thoughts?

Got the same error , I just tried re installing the drivers a couple of times and it worked, I actually got an error message while installing the drivers once that read drivers installed unsuccessfully then tried to run the bat for the luls and that's when the root worked. xD

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmccombs:
Rooted Kindle Fire 2 fine....but

The root process went perfectly clean and it rebooted fine. Then I couldn't find instructions to install the Play Store. I finally found some that said to copy GoogleServicesFramework.apk to the Kindle and install, I did that cleanly. Then to copy vending.apk to /system/app/ and I did that and was able to change permissions to 664. I then rebooted the Kindle. It goes straight to the triangle. If you push the power button 5 times it reboots to the same thing. I did not try to flash TWRP to it because I saw some having problems with it. I have 10.2.1 on it. I have the proper drivers installed and each time the Kindle rebooted during boot the computer beeped that it recognized it. Since the triangle the PC no longer recognizes it, it does not show up in Device manager and it does not show up in explorer as connected. I think it is hard bricked but wanted to run it by everyone.

Sparkym3's root process went flawlessly on my Fire2, It only took a couple minutes to root and be booted to a working Kindle. I just screwed up the market process somehow.

Let me know your thoughts. Being that everything went so clean with rooting I have a hard time thinking it can be the drivers, cable, usb port.

I've rooted a phone and 2 tablets multiple times but never had this happen. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is an exact description of the problem:

I get the Kindle Fire logo, sits there several seconds, reboots and the power light goes out and back on, then the logo comes up again, it flashes a couple of times then I get an orange triangle with an exclamation point inside Below that is a message stating "Your Kindle device cannot boot".

Below that is You can reset device to Factory defaults to fix this issue (all data will be deleted from the device"

<Menu options>

To reboot your device, press and hold the power button for 4 seconds and release.

To reset to Factory Defaults, press the power button 5 times in succession.

Well the 4 second thing does not work at all, more like 20 seconds. The pressing 5 times just reboots to the same problem and warning triangle. I tried fastboot commands but nothing.and my laptop no longer recognizes the Kindle and nothing is in Device Manager about the Kindle now. The fastboot command just says waiting for device. As I said above the root process went flawlessly and the Fire reboot 3-4 times and the laptop beeped each time that it saw it.

Any help is greatly appreciated

So, I'm totally lost. Maybe a frisbee at this point.
