I was wondering if our beloved Galaxy S2 will receive Android 4.1 Jellybean officially? I'm pretty sure it will be available through Cyanogenmod or whoever, but will it also be a Kies update, and if so, is it gonna take all the carriers ages to implement it? Personally I'm always on one of the neweste CM Nightly builds and I've no complaints, it just works, which is kindof what I want the phone to do. I saw a youtube video of ICS vs Jellybean in terms of laggines, "Project Butter" aims to make the whole Android experience smoother and faster. What I'd like to know is if our now aging Exynos SOC supports all the things their putting into the OS, for example their doing Vsync and tripple buffering. All I know about those is that I enable them in games, no real idea what they actually do. Is it as simple as a software upgrade or must the hardware first support is?
Ask Samsung.
Yes it might come next year! But frankly I think 4.04 will be last.
No, no 4.0.4 neither

Can't we get Jellybean for our Galaxy S2 this year?

I don't see a point in Vsync. I've yet to see a game uncorrectly display an image.
Since triple-buffering is new, I guess our phone has double. I would like triple, and have it as smooth and as fast as the iPhone, but I don't want to lower my battery life on it. Plus I'd expect overheating since it takes two pieces of hardware to process am image.

FYI, there is a discussion thread about JB that has been open in the General section since yesterday here. (making this thread superfluous)
I'm pretty sure we will get 4.1 because if Galaxy Nexus S will get this.. Why shouldn't we get this? :victory:

I wouldn't say this thread is entirely superfluous; here the discussion is focused solely on whether or not the Galaxy S2 will get JB, while the other thread also includes comments on the features of it.
If you came looking to find out if/when we were getting it, where do you think you would find the answer more quickly?

Polar bears don't.
But why doesn't the Galaxy S have a stable CM ROM then?

if they find a way to keep all the goodies from Samsung then I'm all for it
Frankly, I don't care about the Samsung programmes. If it can be turned off, then ok, but I'd rather have the whole CM experience.
This hardly seems like the right forum for this thread...
So what's the right forum, if not the Galaxy S II Android Development Forum?
Android Development should only contain threads based on actual projects/ROMs/kernels/etc being developed. Discussions about what may or may not be coming to the device should go in general. Best rule of thumb in my book: if you're not actually developing something yourself, a thread shouldn't be started here.
Sorry if I came off like a prick - I just know that this ends up becoming more work for the mods who have to comb through and move threads around.
Also I apologize for theoretically hijacking your thread - Just trying to help keep people in the know
hopefully it will get CM

I agree. Good post, and yes, this should have been in General. Just keep that in mind for the next time We are all excited for this phone, and i personally think that Samsung stock ROM is also quite good. However, to each his own, and I am sure that CM will be out for this phone too

The SGS2 is similar to the SGS in many ways, therefore CM will be difficult to port over.
Especially that there is no Nexus S 2 (a lot of CM7 is from the Nexus S)
Don't expect CM7+ to be running on the SGS2 anytime soon, although it probably eventually will. That's unless anything else happen (a/a genius comes along b/samsung open source more stuff c/Nexus S 2 is released d/sgs2 shares even more with the sgs than I though and current work can be ported over more easily)
This phone is fast enough without CM7. A clean up of the stock ROM, a new launcher and its sweet enough!

Well, apparently they have a Galaxy S, otherwise there wouldn't be Release Candidates.
As title, anyone know when? I see some tablet from HTX or Galaxy already have it!
we'll have it the samsung way. i.e when ice cream comes out, we'll be given the 3.2 update to 'cheer up'.
I won't mind if the tab doesn't see 3.2
I just want ICS when it is released. But of course with Samsungs track record, that'll be next year ;P

I don't really have any issues with my Tab now. I love it, works perfect and does just about everything I need it to do. I haven't even rooted it yet and really haven't had a reason to either.
Instead of worrying about when the next update is coming just try and enjoy what you got.

I had read in another thread that google made an agreement with manufacturers that they have to give updates to the newest version of Android within 18 months of it's release. Now then they said "It's release" I hope they mean the device, and not the Android version.
But I don't see why we wouldn't get ICS, as it'll really help in terms of Android tablet sales, because it will bring on a TON more apps for the tablets, which is the weak point in terms of Android tablets selling.

Make a donation to PhantomHacker, he is working on a vanilla 3.2 ROM. As for the other questions, we will see ICS running on Tab eventually, the devs will make sure.
The dev's can only develop if they have the source. But that's not the only hurdle! The dev's will also need Samsung drivers for the tab 10.1 too. To get both we need Samsung to release an ICS kernel source (I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong). You can see what happens without the source now as the 10.1 development is pretty much stagnant.

Yeah, I get the sense that a good portion of users here don't really even do much with their devices other than futz around with rooting, fllash alternate ROMs, and obsess over benchmark scores. It's good to optimize your tablet/phone/magic wand but the point of these things is to use the apps, mainly.

I don't know my Tab got issue or the OS or ..? Cause: view HD video, sometime the video are freeze but the sound are okay, quit the video player then the sound of video still playing =) Need to restart Tab to view again, anyone got it as me ?
I had an Asus Transformer which was quickly updated to Honeycomb 3.2 to be really truthful aside from transitions being a bit smoother I didn't notice much difference in day to day performance over 3.1. I'm much more intersted in seeing Samsung get ICS pushed out asap as soon as it is ready.
There are a fair few good deals on the S2 now that the Nexus is out with Android ICS, but how good is the ICS port over to the S2? Any bugs or flaws?
I am contemplating getting this phone for my girlfriend who isn't very tech savvy hence ICS would need to work flawlessly on the device .
Ics is not ready yet for this device there only at the alpha stage try again in 4months for a stable one or use the ics theme from the market

Samsung has said "official" ICS firmware for SGS2 will be released "some time in Q1 2012". So far as other roms go, you should start seeing ICS ports over the next few weeks.
So far as functionality goes, I'd be surprised if these don't go thru the normal "teething problems" roms & kernels tend to go thru, and given your girlfriend isn't "tech savvy" and the device would need to work "flawlessly", I'd recommend you wait until Samsung releases official firmware rather than use a custom ICS port.
Unless you want to spend a lot of time playing tech support ?

If it's a phone for your non-tech girl I would not worry about Gingerbread or ICS, I would worry about Touchwiz, Sense or whatever skin is out there and select your phone accordingly.
Getting into buggy beta ICS or non compatible apps or widgets that act weird is the killer, it just has to work and look nice. Gingerbread is good for that.

No one will be able to answer this with any certainty, as it depends on what lot the phone was manufactured in and gotten ready for sale. If it came to the retailer with GB preinstalled, it will get sold with GB installed. If it came with ICS preinstalled, it will get sold with ICS installed.
It's not like retailers open up boxes they already have and upgrade the handset to ICS.
Are there any phones being sold at the moment with anything less than ics?

PDK as explained is the development kit for Physical Hardware, in other words for the Manufacturers. If developers that makes ROMs can get their hands on this one, then it would make it ALOT easier for them to create the ROMs. And the other nice thing they said is that the PDK was to be available for the Hardware Manufacturers 3-4 months before release, which should decrease the amount of time it takes for the manufacturers to release the next OS version. The problem is to try to get this from Google if you are not a hardware manufacturer.
And then there is still the issue with the drivers which is what the manufacturers sits on.
I know it doesn't help us get updates on the GS3 just bec the GN gets one, but having the GN getting the OTA can help us with ROM development esp if we have the kernels to work with.

It would seem then that Samsung should have been working on Jelly Bean for quite some time. What are the chances they release JB on the GS3 in the next 2 months if they have had 3-4 months to work on it?
They had ICS since at the latest last October and here it is June before they are releasing ICS for GS2. Seems the lead time is ~8 months. So if they had PDK 4 months ago and it takes them 8 months, then we should see JB in October/November. Unless the PDK somehow makes it easier to develop the ROM...

There are certainly some great features in there, but I think the "haven't been this excited about an OS yet" statement might be a little much. I'd say the milestone releases, 4.0 and 2.0 were certainly much more exciting than this. If it was intended to be the most exciting update yet, it would've had a version number to reflect that. Just saying.
Having said that... I'm pretty excited too, but it'll likely take Sammy a little while to push an official update if you're like me and don't root right away.

Depends. The VSync governor and CPU prespread is rather a quantum leap. Yes, it's not massively exceeding the introduction of the 2.2 Dalvik JIT but it's going to push Android along and, likely, past the Cupertino Competition.
Not to mention "Butter" was the coolest code name, yet. Chet (who's also doing the "For Butter or for Worse" session tomorrow, gave a good impromptu hallway intro to some of us, and it's exciting. VERY exciting.
I flashed the toro version of the Jelly Bean SDK port to my Nexus and holy hell its so smooth. Much smoother than my GSIII. I can't begin to think how smooth this device will be especially since the screen is much more sensitive and responsive than my Nexus. 4.1 is what 4.0 should have been. The Google Now feature provided INSTANT response with no lag. Its almost like talking to a person. Im really impressed with jelly bean and hope Samsung provides timely updates.

Considering Samsung subscribes to the "want to upgrade your OS, upgrade the phone" philosophy, I am not sure we'll see JB on the S3 any time soon. I'd presume we'll see an AOSP Rom soon-ish, though, given the number of S3 owners at Google I/O that just stared and lusted...
Hi Kazuni et al, are you developing a non-Samsung themed JB ROM for the I9305? Something like the many CM10/ParanoidAndroid ROMs that are available for the I9300? Would be great to have a "purer" ROM for this new flagship....less of the Samsung customization
This has been discussed several times before but the I9305/I9300 share most of the same components, less the radio correct? If so, would the I9300 ROMs work if they're used w/ a 9305 radio instead? So it would be an easier way to port 9300-developed ROMs over?
Would love to see this, esp if it's built on the new 4.1.2!
There are other differences as well like a different partition layout, but I guess that they might partially work if configured with a compatible layout, would likely have no sound or modem functionality without proper work, a Rom compiled for this model would be better.

Don't get me wrong, but didn't you notice the big ****storm about samsung being developer unfriendly and the exynos platform being the hell on earth?
Some of our guys are very sick of samsung and are not going to touch any of the new samsung devices.
Not saying that nobody will port it, but i recommend you to sell this device as fast as possible and get a new upcoming nexus device if you really wanna run AOSP based roms.
If you like laggy and buggy AOSP roms and especially waiting for round about 6 months to get a new android version, stay on what you're currently owning.

Not saying that nobody will port it, but i recommend you to sell this device as fast as possible and get a new upcoming nexus device if you really wanna run AOSP based roms.
If you like laggy and buggy AOSP roms and especially waiting for round about 6 months to get a new android version, stay on what you're currently owning.

I didn't really expect you to add something positive to this topic.!. I really hope that all of us that just got the I9503 didn't buy it for only running AOSP based roms. If that was the case I would buy the upcoming LG nexus that's NOT the case for me. And SamsungExynos posted a tweet today "full availability of integrated source code for #Exynos 4 family of processors on OrigenBoard by the end of 2012"
I wonder what will happen to all these devs that left the GS3 because of samsung not releasing the Source. And then now it looks like they will b releasing something soon, Are you all going to come back? Or just let new and upcoming devs take over. I Feel that with all sources released on this device with the Quad Core and 2gb Ram DAMMMM how smoooth will a proper built CM10 run. And to be honest My device is very smooth as it is. I am not dying for CM10 i actually like the new touchwiz, I like features and animations. And with all of that , this is still hell smooth in my opinion. Either way To me its a win win, if they release the source GREAT if not oh well still very good!!... But i do believe they will release it.

-----> "for OrigenBoard" <-----
It's a exynos development board and has not much to do with samsung smartphones.
The ICS code was broken, outdated and mostly unusable on phones.
The same code is now available again.
I really don't expect a wonder.
From what andreilux has seen and stated below it does not seem like the old stuff and samsung continue to update. Last update was done earlier today here is what andreilux said in the exynos petition page in the i9300:
(They released the 5250 development board and site together with a 800 page user's manual, something which we didn't have before for any SoC. I'll have to see what they uploaded on the Git as it's quite a lot.
Edit: from what I can see at first glance they have 4.1.1 Jellybean sources up there and apparently the newest stuff.

Omfg sorry for spam but the dev will build really ROMs?
Sorry Spaming here but a CM10 Rom for my I9305 would be realy Great.
+1 to non-Samsung-based JB rom like CM10, PA or PACman's mix of all three I'm picking up my i9305 this weekend (South Africa) and really hope that some of the big dev's take to this handset.. number of roms at current is dis-heartening :crying: :crying:

Hi codeworkx.. this is a copy of a post I made on another i9305 thread, it seems more relevant here tho..
Samsung have released the source code for the i9305.. here and I noticed it's also on Github here does this mean there's a chance of more dev's buying into this device for custom rom and kernel devving
defibitely deserves a plus one on this. cm10 porterssss please i would love to experience a proper stock jb theme
