If I'm not mistaken, we have an Adreno 220 GPU in our phones so this could be a big boost to any ICS development.
sounds like good news to me! just another step on the staircase to an upgrade

You will probably get more response if you post this in the Nexus section.
Some Mod can close this plz.?

I have a SGSII. I can test the Nexus and personally I won't change for it. Ok, the update can be faster, but if you can put CM10 if you want the last version (yes, with some bugs, but they make a excellent job).
Only my opinion...
Nexus' biggest disadvantage: no microSD slot!!

in galaxy nexus 5mp camera. in sgs2 8mp camera
there is no sdcard slot in galaxy nexus.
I choose sgs2 and I don't want change it for galaxy nexus
Have a look at them both here

Personally would not have a Nexus over SGS2 regardless of updates

Yeah but the s2 is a better device, and it's already on jb. So idk what you mean by fast updates?

Reconsider...
may sound like a good "upgrade" but really I promise it isn't... Galaxy Nexus is same guts with a lesser camera... a more clunky feel in your pocket and lacks gorilla glass.... the development that is going on in the xda community here is far superior to anything you will find stock from the nexus... before you jump ship... give the team's work a try.

updates from google, we have cyanogen with fantastic roms but lacks close sources like video calls and nice camera app like on stock samsung roms
i think the updates to use all the features from the phone are better in nexus devices

u are right, the camera on S2 is amazing, but i have to ask u this, do u have an GNEX? and why the question? im aiming google experience and not the score on quadrant, i know the cpu is the same speed, i know tha S2 as a better gpu but i dont play games
i just dont want to regret after i make the trade
As the other people said, galaxy s2 is better, if you want a fast phone then flash resurrection remix rom

I'm guessing yes ....
But these things take time ...
The note 2 CPU architecture is very different ...and the kernel will need big changes...
It's gonna be worth it I think ....g

Guess we will just have to wait and see if a dev would like to port this over and bless us with some GN2 goodies. But its not a simple process. Its extremely time consuming and he dev would REALLY wanna take time out of their lives to do us this favor. Although, i gotta admit, im hoping to see this too.

I have a lot of patience when it comes to my GN1, and the great dev teams out there, excellent job by the way! I hope it happens before the GN2 arrives so I can save some money lol.

I dont believe so because if you read the description its states its for a different model of phone...which would be the Galaxy Note 2. Its just the Oiginal rom. Hasnt been ported over to our phones ....yet. Unless im reading it wrong.

i don't want the note two
I really really don't want to upgrade to the note2, I hate physical home buttons( I've had very bad experiences with it) all i want is the rom and its new goodies and hope that it plays nice with the blaze radios to keep using my baby on simple mobile.
XDA is no longer worth my time.
I'm with you, i would really love to get that dual window mode on my original note. Especially since just getting the gn2 isn't really an option for me.

Been away from here for a while. Life just got in the way. Picked up a GN1 here a few months ago. Ill be watching this thread closely. Would like to see some of the features of the GN2 ported over to the GN1.
I would love to get multi window on my note... Anybody have ideas?

Not looking good for the note 1 to get note 2 goodies! Note 2?
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda premium
Port fron GN2 to GN1 is NOT going to happen anytime soon.
Where to begin. Even if they were porting the GN2 rom to the GN1, it would be the international GN1, NOT the US version, and the US version has completely different hardware, than the international one. ALL new Samsung phones are using all new hardware compared to the US GN1. There is no way those ROM's will make it over to our i717. the hardware is just too different. Because the US GN1 has LTE, they used the Qualcomm S3 SOC, and this was US only. The rest of the world used either the newer Qualcomm S4, or the Samsung SOC. The Note 2 uses Exynos (sp?) quadcore SOC radically different than our Note 1's.
You can forget about any Note 2 ports to the Note 1. Ports have been from like hardware, to like hardware, for example the AT&T Galaxy Skyrocket has basically the same internals, as our Note 1, and there have been ports that way. The Note used pretty much the last of those SOC's.
There is always the chance that Samsung will come out with an Official JB port for our phone.
I think you are correct, updates with gnote 2 goodies are very unlikely. Time to save up for a gnote 2!

I have seen a review fire a ROM on the international note that did have multi-window working. I don't remember the specific build but iT sure looked like a nice feature.
I don't know anything about developing software for phones but why would it be hard for a Dev to add in that functionality?

Shall I buy a galaxy grand??
It has 1gb ram.
Will there be development enough?
I have an Xperia U so I might buy it.
The thing is updates.
It has JellyBean 4.1 will it get 4.2 via CM10.1?
I only care bout that and please can anyone tell me which GPU and chipset does it have.
Or some better phones in the price range.
Btw it has 1gb ram so will it get KeyLimePie when it releases?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, don't close.
Wrong post.
Sory for being late but i'll prefer you to buy a Samsung Galaxy Nexus or the Nexus 4, because you only love updates.
These two are the only smartphones that'll get the update straightaway from google ASA the version is released.
I don't think it will be having more of development work going on, it's only launched in few countries and it's got a poor display which is kinda major draw back of it.

LIFE!
IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OUT OF IT!
Poor display??!!!! And no development.....! Fuk I won't buy it then.
