Wow, ICS has barely been out.
I know that there has been threads about Jelly Bean, but I am not sure if I had read that ASUS confirmed that it would be Jelly Bean.
Does this mean Google and Asus maybe working on a Nexus tablet, since asus has made this announcement?
Hopefully with the new wave of tablets from Asus we can still use the TF201 dock with them. If so I wouldnt mind sticking with Asus tabs...especially if they ever make one that works as advertised....lol

Android 5 will be released about a year after Android 4, which was released about a year after Android 2.3. Honeycomb was an interim release. I'm not sure why everyone is so bent out of shape about this--things are moving along pretty much according to schedule.
Just because someone confirmed Jelly Bean as the name for Android 5 doesn't mean it's coming out anytime soon... I'd say, it'll be October at the earliest, although like ICS it might be previewed over the summer.

Read this on a couple of tech sites. Very disappointed. I was under the impression that the wait for ICS wasn't gonna be that long. That was a big factor in getting the note. Would have held out for a quad core with ICS already on it if I knew it was gonna be this long. I love my note and it's sad that att's flagship android device doesn't have the latest version of android. Plus I think ics will smooth out alot of the lagginess owners have been reporting.

^^This guys got a point. I will defend ICS tooth and nail, but you will rarely find me belly aching about it being on the note. I absolutely want it, but I didn't buy a phone with it already on it. I do expect ATT/Samsung to deliver it to us, but don't think we'll see it untill fall. Anything sooner will be a great surprise, anything later and I'll start complaining. If all I wanted was ICS then I would have kept my Vibrant.
Time to DIY
I saw that this morning and welp... time to flash a custom ROM -_-
I was holding off waiting for the official to get here 'later this month'. I am disappoint. Oh well... Its not hard to root anyway.
Waiting for the next o.s. update for your smartphone is a never ending game and hasn't changed.
It's not real smart to buy something HOPING it will get the next update sooner rather than later. WIth smartphones, you'll always be disappointed .
I'm running ICS on another device I have and it's not that big of a deal. I'd certainly like it on my Note but it's not something I'm waiting for with every breath.
totally untrusted source. there is no samsung norway official page+samsung norway does not speak english!! anyways the youtube video interview, that samsung executive guy who was answering questions, where it says comments, it was written that the att note will be getting the update in may
doesn't Q2 start in like 2 weeks?
So tired of the *****ing and crying over ics go and take your note back and get the nexus if you want ics so bad I'm am completely happy with my note

Could possibly be ported to prime or at least new features pulled from it and implemented into prime roms.
Mods can delete thread if it can't be ported.
Jelly Bean looks pretty dang cool, but I think I'm personally going to wait until there is a stock-based JB ROM. I've tried AOSP-based ROMs on my Prime, and the loss of functionality on the keyboard, as well as the headaches with battery monitoring on the second battery just aren't worth it.
Once Wookie can get his hands on an Asus build of JB, I bet this thing will really come alive.

SDK ports tend to be as slow as molasses and functionally incomplete as they usually lack the driver support of the proper release.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. I am currently using CM9 and the keyboard functions equally as well as stock. Monitoring of the second battery works perfectly too.

I haven't tried CM9, but on AOKP and EOS, the extra tweaks for things like the keyboard unlock that Asus baked in are missing. I use mine for taking notes pretty frequently, and I like to be able to turn the screen on and off with the keyboard. That was never an option with AOKP or EOS. I recognize that it's a small issue for most people, but it was a deal-breaker for me. The ROMs that I was running didn't have a dual-battery guage, either, unless you wanted a big ugly widget on one of your home screens to tell you how your dock battery is doing. I also missed the quick OC settings that are in the stock-based FW.

Can we already begin porting or do we have to wait for the source code?

I find it funny that before ICS came out everyone was "Ohh, I can't wait, it's going to be so great, Yea Yea Yea"
I had no problem with Honeycomb and rather enjoyed it to be honest.
Now it's the same thing with JB
I've dug every Android version from 2.1 to now. Each has their problems and strengths. I do enjoy getting the latest versions and ICS is starting getting old to me so any update will do. I don't think JB is going to be much of a difference in appearance but hope the performance is better that ICS. I can live with ICS if Asus never gives the Prime JB though.
I really would like to see a complete jump to Android 5.0 not these incremental baby steps.
Just my observations and opinion.

Well since they announced JB like 3 weeks ago, its a well known fact about the appearance and performance changes. I'm not sure what you're trying to predict since everyone has seen it and a lot are running it already. I have JB on my galaxy nexus and it feels like a new phone to be honest.

Apparently the new kernel has some effect on the TF300's I/O, which seems to be the main weakness on the Prime. Improve that bottleneck and it'll help a lot of different areas.
To be honest with the root tweaks my prime's performance is adequate, even if the jelly bean improvements are marginal I'll be pretty satisfied.
I just want Google Now and that higher frame rate.

forget that with all of the dev going on for this device,
they have made an already great Droid
(yes, i AM aware of its MANY shortcomings)
an AWESOME Droid!
i almost sent mine back(twice)...
the dev community convinced me to stick it out & keep it.
glad i did.
(btw, i have 5 other Droids in house; the Prime gets the most use of all)
Half of us can't even unlock and try any dev, so it doesnt apply to us until we can. We've tried to get an answer from Asus and they've done nothing.
Love my Prime
Had it since the first shipment, 12/23/11 and have no issues at all except GPS as we all know. All games run great no complaints except Madden, can't get that to run for anything. I am unlocked and rooted and flashed most of these roms. Thank you to the devs that keep our device alive and fast.
I must say I have no problems running games (those tegra games are beautiful and run great), i only have the occasional ANR while downloading torrents but pressing 'wait' just makes it disappear and everything functions. So, not much crashes or apps getting stuck

So I emailed Sony today asking if there was any new information available concerning an Android Jelly Bean 4.1/4.2 update for the original Sony Tablet S, model number SPGPT111US/S, and they replied with this: "I'm glad to inform you that the Android 4.1, Jelly Bean Update is scheduled for release in the second week of Feb 2013. The update will be available very soon and you will be notified with the notifier in the Tablet." If you don't believe me, email them yourself, and I can upload a screenshot if you would like. But I do swear that this is the response I received, and while I wish the update would come sooner, I'm very glad we Tablet S owners finally have A) An actual confirmation that we will be receiving JB for sure and B) A somewhat concrete release date. February seems so far away...

So I emailed Sony today asking if there was any new information available concerning an Android Jelly Bean 4.1/4.2 update for the original Sony Tablet S, model number SPGPT111US/S, and they replied with this: "I'm glad to inform you that the Android 4.1, Jelly Bean Update is scheduled for release in the second week of Feb 2013. The update will be available very soon and you will be notified with the notifier in the Tablet." If you don't believe me, email them yourself, and I can upload a screenshot if you would like. But I do swear that this is the response I received, and while I wish the update would come sooner, I'm very glad we Tablet S owners finally have A) An actual confirmation that we will be receiving JB for sure and B) A somewhat concrete release date. February seems so far away...
Cheers!

For starters it is not the 4th **** up of ICS
Also it is something NEW
February is a considerably long distance away when you consider when JB first came out.
In my view, it was a revolution in android software. Google Now, Project Butter, its enough to make any device sell.
Wonder if this is the same as the XXperia Tab that was promised in 2012.

Please try not to spoil the joyus mood here. If you dont like people squeaking information regarding jb updates then dont enter threads such as this one. Whats good aboyt something new? It might have a new kernel or something we can work around to unlock the boot loader or have a work recovery with adb function orsome eye candies or better stuufs. Btw i tried an unofficial 4.1 on galaxy ace and it was hell a lot more better and fluid than 4.0
Well, in russian 4pda news about JB for SPGT11* was posted in september or early, but thanks, now we know the date.
The only thing that spoils my mood about this thing - obviously sony will include new recovery in JB update, and it's no good for users who wants to have an ability to flash their tablets with some tools like AiO... And I pretty sure that release of JB for my SPGT114RU/S (16+3G) will come with some kind of delays... Eh, never mind.
I hope this comes to the UK.

Easy as to swap the recoveries (hidden Image) so the old recovery can be used. Condi's system is still working after 4 updates

Lol what's your deal man? In my opinion Jelly Bean has been the most important update to Android yet, as it brings Android up to the smoothness level of iOS and also matches Siri with Google now. "I doubt its gonna bring anything amazing to yhe table why are ppl so obsessed with updates": First of all, do you know anything about Jelly Bean? Yeah. It brings A LOT to the table. And secondly, I am not obsessed with updates. However, I do like having the latest version of Android. If you're one of those people that can feel fine about being stuck in Android 2.3, then all the more power to you. But I'm just not that way, and there's nothing wrong with that. Besides, why are you replying to this thread if you don't care? Seems like you've got too much time on your hands.
Having used the nexus s and now on a galaxy nexus, I can testify to how great an improvement jb is over ics. Much smoother and a good sized improvement in battery life, even when using generic AOSP builds. I do hope Sony gives 4.2a thought though... there's lots of tablet only features that would be a good fit for this device, particularly while the nexus 10 remains hard to get.

I just hope someone can work out how to root a tablet S thats already done the r5a update, before JB comes out.
I hate having a bunch of stock rubbish put on after an update. but on the other hand, my bluetooth works properly again. i was having problems listening to music in the car (I had to exit and reopen the music player every time i reconnected to the headunit)
Awesome, can't wait!

Why are you still here, man? You've already said that this topic is pointless because you don't care about JB. I fail to see how replying to your post was me taking it "waaaaaaaaayyyyyy to personally".
Now ure putting words in my mouth I said neither of those things. And if you read the my later posts I said it might be pre cool. I took a look at a few reviews on youtube and I can see why people are excited about this one.

I apologize; I replied without reading your later posts. That was my fault I do wish you'd researched a little about JB before initially denouncing it in my thread, but that's alright because you know what's up now. We cool, dude.
