Lets get jellybean on our phones! - HTC Amaze 4G

Just kidding lmao, but theres an OTA out for the Galaxy Nexus .

We could also do a port from the android sdk... I'm sure this wouldn't be as far fetched as everyone thinks. Someone did this for my previous phone. (To get ics) and I don't think the kernel has changed much from android 4.0 to 4.1 so kernel changes shouldbt be a problem....
This is very tempting... Mods please do not close the thread

***k yeah, that'd be so awesome :laugh:

The ota is only for the ones they handed out. But shouldn't take long for someone to get it working on others

I say let's focus on getting some stable ICS ROMs that aren't Sense 3.6 running on this device before we tackle Jellybean. Considering we don't have the sources for ICS, it'd probably be a bit hard to try getting Jellybean on this device without it.

Once we get a complete CM build then it will be easy to merge the changes once the source is released.
Porting SDK's while good for passing time almost never work well (As they should, no driver support just basic OS)
But if anyone is up for some early Jelly Belly the Galaxy Nexus is only $300 unlocked at the Google Store
*EDIT* Sorry $350 not $300

I was actually thinking of selling my amaze for the galaxy nexus, darn you pure Google phone!!! So tempting. But I need micro SD card slot

and thats only for americans.. the rest the worlds cut off from the phone purchase via play store, tablet yes.. phone no..

It would be awesome to see Jelly Bean on the Amaze, but I kinda doubt HTC would ever do it. I'm pretty happy with ICS and so if I don't get Jelly Bean on the Amaze, I'm not too fussed...

It won't come from HTC but I'm sure one of our amazing devs will make a rom from it

...and the Jelly Bean hype has begun.

Are we getting JellyBean?

So yeah...are we getting an AOSP build of Jelly Bean it is going to be like ICS TW. Which I hate...if that's the case, I might as well switch back to a GNex...

Yes we are If you see cm9 is supporting the galaxy s3 but as soon as cm10 Will have it too, supply is easier to integrate jelly bean with ics
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
We might get CM10.
Is that in the near future or the far future? Becuae the source code just got released and I think TouchWiz is a ***** to be incorporated with AOSP or something like that.
And even then, I don't think all the features will work right? I think...
I just don't wanna get rid of this phone. Mainly for the Camera. I don't care about the processor at all.

Samsung announced that the S3 will be getting the update in Q4. So sometime before the end of 2012. I'm thinking end of October or early Novermber.
Of course we are getting both. We will be getting an official update from Sammy with TW and an AOSP rom from the CM team. Hell even old GS1 phones will be getting JB because where there's a will there's a way. One thing for sure though is you need a little patience; Source just dropped a couple days ago. Let these cooks spend some time in the kitchen and you'll be rewarded greatly.
Samsung is probably waiting until right around the new iPhone release to release gs3 with jelly bean lol

It really shouldnt take them very long. google did a great job with jellybean. making it extremely compatible with all kinds of hardware. for ics we had to pull ~50 commits to frameworks from qcom to get display working. on jellybean...zero. it just works. no hacks required. google really outdid themselves this time. (also cudos to caf for releasing the display drivers same day!!) just took me 3 days to realize that yea they do work lol.
So in theory it shouldnt be too hard to get jellybean up and running on devices that have aosp 4.0. Correct?

Could be because I think that sense 3.6 is garbage and 40 is way better lighter and more responsive or at lest by me using it it seemed like that. But if they do decide to do that I thing they should bring sense 4.0 to all capable devices

The only source getting released is the kernel, we still need to crack their proprietary RIL which won't be getting released. The additional of a 4G radio has made it more complicated then the Incredible.

Custom Jelly Bean Roms For Rezound?

So I've been looking around and from what I can tell, the jelly bean situation for the rezound is looking pretty bleak considering the fact that it hasn't even received ics yet. That doesn't phase me though because I figured I could just install a custom rom and get it now; however, it seems thats not the case because for some reason no one seems confident that a custom jelly bean rom for the rezound is possible. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there already custom jb roms for other phones? So I was just wondering if anyone could explain to me why a custom jb rom for the rezound is not possible? And if it is why hasn't anyone made one?
If you were to search a little more I believe the answer would become more clear to you

There are currently no AOSP ROMs available for the rezound - only sense based ROMs. As there are no sense based jelly bean ROMs, there are no jelly bean ROMs period for the rezound.
Now my real advice - read more, wait patiently, and don't ask for etas.

Soooo uhhh hmmm... When's the ETA on when we can start asking bout ETAs? Lol jk.. just yanking or chain. K.. my answer for OP: I can almost certainly promise u that by mid next 2013 we should see jelly bean for Rezound. Reason I say that is because as of recently the RIL (which is what allows the phone to receive 4G LTE) has finally been cracked/resolved. And the official OTA ICS is soon for us. Also ICS-Jelly Bean is not that huge of an update, it is most likely we will be receiving that as well.

cant be that broken.........its cm9 which has basically all the base code for msm8660 devices.....the kernel is the only thing that might not be ready due to being a 2.6.35 kernel and not 3.0 but 2.6.35 works fine for the most part

Are you serious? Stuck?
Considering that only 0.8% (not event one percent) of Android handsets globally have JB, Rezound owners will now be in the category second only to those with GB on their handsets. Enjoy ICS for now and you know very well that the amazing devs here will generate a JB ROM for the Rezound as soon as they have the "raw materials" to do so.

Yes i am very much serious that I'm stuck. Don't get me wrong, i like ics a lot, but I find it annoying that Google releases New versions of android and i don't get to use them until months later. I know it's not Googles fault, but it is frustrating nonetheless. That is why I'm waiting for the next nexus phone. Until then I'll rely on the awesome devs here at xda.

What if we DON'T get jelly bean?

Seriously, what if we never officially get JB? Will we just have to rely on the N4 conversion? Will it affect development?
And how angry will you be?

Nope a dev on here can add bloatware in a few minutes code it properly in a few day day so I'm sure an entire team of programmers at at&t can do this fast enough. It's marketing on Googles behalf.

? Hmmm I don't know, maybe because it's not carrier branded, a clean-slate version of Android, and significantly cheaper to buy off-contract... Seems to me like there's still plenty of incentive to buy the N4 regardless if the OG has JB or not.
Whatever the reason, I really like this phone and am glad I bought it. However, unless things change before my contract is up, I'll avoid LG like the plague when choosing my next device. There is no reason anyone can give to me...to me... not anyone else, that in my mind justifies this piece of hardware not having official JB released for it by now. The work the developers are doing with one hand tied behind their back is awesome, but it shouldn't have to come to this. I'll vote with my dollars next time and go back to Samsung. It's a shame, too.
Like what has been mentioned and discussed ad nauseum since December, this device very well could have shipped with JB if they wanted it to. It most certainly could have been upgraded by now, especially with international versions of JB out. That tells me it is 100% AT&T who is holding this up.
Have a great weekend! Can't wait to see what the devs have cooked up!

Seriously, what if we never officially get JB? Will we just have to rely on the N4 conversion? Will it affect development?
And how angry will you be?

So you really feel the need to complain about jellybean in 2 diff threads. This thread is a waste of space. You just created a topic in general and now q&a. Come on bro

ATT is probably too busy updating the note, note2, s3, one x, and all the other big selling devices. That said, looking at LG open source site there is only one device showing more than one os update, and that was froyo to gingerbread to ice cream sandwich. So jellybean will probably be the end of official updates for this phone.
Hint's the reason to why I swtched from this to the note 2 plus the fact that it's just a sweet ass phone lol so smooth n fast has a better pic to than the LG sound is better everything is lol Lg just sucks on upgrading there stuff that's all it really is Stuiped SOB's lmao

In this case it's AT&T. If our developers can reverse engineer a hack to convert this to an N4, the mfg could have put JB on this device with the schematics and kernel files in their possession from day one. There are no two ways about it, simple as that. I mean they built both phones at the same time with almost identical specs for crying out loud..

But as far as I know, Google is mostly responsible for the N4 software and LG is mostly responsible for the OG.
Google shouldn't have anything to do with us not seeing an update, just like how the N4 users aren't thanking LG for their updates.

I didn't make this thread to complain. I was just curious. I had to call AT&T on another matter, asked about JellyBean, and then posted the other, not to complain, just to report.

I wouldnt hold my breath. Converted when the method first came out and have never look back. I don't know why people are so scare of bricking Im yet to see some one bricking their phone converting and in case you didnt know there is always a chance of bricking even if you are just flashing a simple script all it takes is a simple mistake... why do you think devs always have disclaimers on their roms???? I'm just waiting for 5.0 to drop and you will see a ton of people converting. No one likes old news man same goes for phones why would you want to stay on an outdated OS? makes no sence.
