My opinion here...but it will be months....next year even before we ever see a stable key lime pie.

Our devs are awesome....and did do great getting us jb far before an official version.....but jelly bean was a long haul before it was "stable" and daily driver worthy....and key lime will more than likely be just as challenging....especially with our phone and probably all S2's not getting it officially ...I'm guessing. Or is that confirmed?

So anyway....enjoy jelly bean....chances are we'll all have new phones before we see key lime! ;)

I understand Touchwiz is an overlay over android. So my question is, what defines that a certain android version (be it 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0) will not work on s2x?

Is it Ram or lack of it?

only having dual cores?

limited to 1.5 or if oc (then limited to 1.8)

or a kernel blobs is a must from samsung for any future updates?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
Our phone may very well lack the ram for it....and our phone is getting old...companies draw the line at some point when updating older products. For performance reasons...as well as that they simply wanna move support away from dated products. I think our line ends with jelly bean unfortunately.

Nothing really. As far as "Officially" at most our phone will receive JB 4.2 (But highly unlikely). As far as unofficial custom roms CM, AOKP, etc. dev support will last as long as the device is popular and still operational. I believe when CM9 (4.0) came out they had to drop support for the Nexus One, but even still today the phone even has 4.2 roms for it. Our phone is one of the top 10 android phones in the U.S. and I believe we will see support around for a while. Besides the general trend seems to be the longer a device has been around the easier it is to port new versions of AOSP to it's device tree.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
We have official jb 4.2..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nashy10:
no, we do not. By official it is meant that would be the version of android this phone comes with and is updateble to through a legitimate service such as Samsung lies or Odin. We do have 4.2,but that's all thanks to aosp, and it isn't samsungs overlay, which is also what he is speaking of.

No ding dong. We have official jelly bean. Go look. It was just released last week or the week before.. Its updatable via kies.. :)

P.s. Odin isn't "legitimate".. Only kies is Samsung supported...

4.2 from 4.1.2 was only an incremental update.. Most devices won't see that JB version. like ICS 4.0.2 was a Nexus only update.

I beg to differ on the windows comment. I've win 7 running on a 9 year old P4. It won't render HD graphics or anything but it is very well capable of running it smoothly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrChozo:
That update unfortunately only brings the SGH-t989 up to 4.1.2. Still Jellybean, just not 4.2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] corwest:
Actually "incremental" updates are like 4.1 to 4.1.2. Updates like 4.1.2 to 4.2 are much larger and only happen about once a year. You can't tille that Android 2.0 to 2.3.6 was only a bunch of "incremental" updates just because they are all Android 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
Seen from different views I assume.. Either way 4.2 will never officially touch anything other than nexus devices.

I guess I should have phrased myself better. By "official" I mean from a manufacturer. The latest we have from sammy is the newly released 4.1.2

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

Not at all actually. People seem to pay too much attention to version numbers. S4 is launching with 4.2 and I have already seen leaks for the S3 4.2 also I believe one or more of the ASUS transformers have been updated so that argument is invalid.

Not to mention 4.1 to 4.2 is a real update for ONE reason if nothing else. There was a new api level for developers. Just like when 2.0(eclair) was replaced by 2.1(also eclair) it was still a fairly significant update. Even gingerbread had api updates along the way from 2.3.1 to 2.3.7.

Can I sell my Note 2 even though I am on a 2 year contract?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spetzuu:
Yes sure but you will have to still pay the monthly bill to your carrier for 2 years so you'd have to get a phone or pay money for nothing.

Although I have heard of ways to disconnect the contract if you specify special reasons. But that would be fraud if they were not the actual reasons.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BBowermaster:
If you upgraded through a third party, be sure to read their contract. Some such as Wirefly will penalize you if the phone is transferred to another line within the first 181 days, as it counts as a 'deactivation.'. I'm assuming this would also apply if you sold the phone and activated another on the line you used to get the phone.

My phone is Star N800 MTK6575,

I flashed it with the wrong ROM and now it's dead.

Anyone know how to fix it? :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] plmiller0905:
I know on some devices if it was rooted Google Play Movies did not work...you would get an error message. The same happens with HTC Watch. So can someone, that's rooted confirm that this is still the case?

I know it's an app in the Play Store I used awhile back called OTA Rootkeeper, that can temporary un-root a device with a click of a button. Then re-root it again. But I'm not sure if that works on the HTC One...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Darthbull:
HTC Watch doesn't work for me. It always pops up a message, "Unable to download license." Funny, it lets you spend all your money buying stuff, but then doesn't let you play it. LOL.

Yeah..that's because you're rooted...I may go ahead and unlock mine and see if the OTA Rootkeeper app works.

Use any alternatives for osb on Gb Rom mate

The framework edits n the guide in Neo general applies only for 4.x + Os versions

;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Tommy-Geenexus:
every gb patch is working. you only need to edit your build.prop after flashing the patches. And Seeder,.. is no bloatware, remove it yourself ;). But rest would be nice to see in rom, thanks picool!

Feedback

ok...........

I installed v1.0 yesterday, and it was working great, without any issues, and it was very snappy.

today, I have installed v1.1, and now I am not able to access 'display settings'. Just keep getting FC errors.

Gallery app has been replaced with quick pic in v1.1.

The battery icon does show percentage now, but it does'nt have backgroud color. only shows a black icon with numbers.

I am still testing things, checking how it squares off. however, straight away after updating to v1.1 i can feel that the ROM is less snappier, v1.0 was buttery smooth, but now I think it is not as buttery.

hoping for more improvements, sticking with the ROM to test it out properly for now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] piCool13:
U r right, let me c what I can do for the improvements, but what I personally feel any functional improvement hampers performance. :(

Will soon release an update pack to revert back to get the epic performance. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bitoyz13:
For display settings fc, copy the settings app from 1.0 version and push to system with rw-r-r permission ( if you already allied the update v1.1), just replace it. I did it and works.

Brightness is low on this rom so i used the old als_curve.conf file and pushed to system etc. And it works great.

Thanks for the rom..so awesome..:thumbup:

I also install no frills cpu to change governor and io scheduler and now my neo v flies. So fast.

Btw. I love quickpic. Thanks

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neo668:
Installed this ROM yesterday with Update 1.1. This is a great GB ROM. It does everything I need including EXT4 support and Link2SD works perfectly on this. I'm using Night Elf "ne_v10-exp" kernel which I had been using on my previous GB ROM, ie. didn't have to reflash kernel. And it works very nicely. My only complaint is that it does not have an option to Reboot Into Recovery.

Surprised that there are so few posts in this thread. Maybe most ppl are moving over to ICS and JB ROMs though GB appears to be the best for our Xperia 2011 devices. Hope this ROM continues to be developed. Not many good GB ROMs around.

Thank you piCool13.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neo668:
Wonder why there are so few posts in this thread? Maybe the ROM is too perfect that nobody has any complaints. I don't. But I do have a request for the Developer.

Could you add a function in your next version: Long Press Back Button To Kill App? I like this function and can't find a Mod to do this. At least, not a Mod that I can confidently execute. Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] piCool13:
I guess there is not significant use of this function, as large apps when u exit flushed out of memory and u can kill small apps by going in to Home Drawer nd tap "Running" here u can kill running apps.

But for ur information I have tried back button kill app function in my test version but it somehow hampered performance, so I decided not to implement it in final version.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neo668:
Thanks picool. I'm now using AuoKiller Memory Optimizer in place of the Back Button Kills App. Ram is a problem for my Neo V. If I don't do something about it I find that very soon I won't have any available ram. But please don't add anything to your ROM if it is going to affect performance. I love it as it is. Thanks again picool.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ysharief:
The best option to have good ram to quarantine. (freez)background running large apps when you don't use it like Facebook what'sapp etc...

See the widgets on my homescreen which I can easily free it when I want it or just a touch to freeze it.. When u unfreeze a app it will launch that app automatically...

You can find it in playstore as app quarantine..

By this app I can manage my ram and battery..:) hope it may help you...
