Looks like the AOSP source code has been released. Granted, this doesn't mean we're going to see a Jellybean rom tomorrow or anything, but we're one step closer to getting it!

A tad bit late, xda reported this a yesterday it was I think: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-4-1-jelly-bean-source-code-released-to-aosp/
Thanks for sharing though.
Sportstar is already working on it, if the recent kernel source release is as good as we hope it is, we just might see a port or possibly a full source tree build.
JB don't support flash, I don't think its worth it..not atleast over ICS..I would love ICS with some good features from JB...

Flash is obsolete, even adobe admitted it as why they quit developing it, it works fine on JB, just that you won't find it in the market place, you have to manually install it but anything you can do on flash html5 does with the same ease.

But HTML5 does not read flash, and there are still a lot of flash sites out there (unfortunately). So I think it is a bit early to delete it from a system.

How so? A lot of the sites are still flash based. What happens when you try and get to one of those without flash capability?
HTML5 can take the place of flash, but has not done so yet.

Any relevant site that has been around since html5 was released should be updated by now, youtube supports it, fb supports it and just about every other major site. If they don't support html5 and prefer flash, you sir better have good anti-virus software, plus using html5 and not flash reduces the number of ads showing up in your browser, also increases security. Adobe didn't make flash support available for JB but if you install the actual app, it works fine.
Pretty sure all the ones complaining about no flash support will be all over JB the min this device gets a taste of it.

"This year’s CTIA Wireless conference in New Orleans is surprisingly short on major new smartphones. But at last night’s MobileFocus press event, I happened across a fascinating, one-of-a-kind handset which I hadn’t seen in person yet: Mozilla’s alpha version of a phone running Boot to Gecko, its project to turn the web technologies behind Firefox into a stand-alone mobile operating system."

Flasholics?
Honestly I don't have any details about that OS.
Thats a pre Alpha...
For sure another "player" to this market will be a good thing. More updates, more releases, more everything.
Funny thing on that picture is that it is an International sg2 but there is an AT&T logo there. Check the pic.
That's most likely the carrier its being used with, which is perfectly normal considering the tech site is probably located in the US.
I think its a neat different Idea... Do I think it will go anywhere like android and ios? Not really (would be cool if it did).
I would flash it, but only when its ready for our phone. I would love to at least try it. Who knows it could be the next best thing since the cheese wheel!

There is a flashable zip somewhere in the original thread in the i9100 forums. I'm using it, I just don't get to use it because I have to build something which I can't do...
i777 with B2G
Boot2Gecko uses a different kernel from Android, still Linux, but with many different things compiled into it. If you go to the page with the i9100 image, you'll see a .tar.md5 image, which is really just a TAR image with some extra. You can untar it and get out the boot.img, which is the kernel. You can then use ODIN to flash the image, and if it is inoperable you can use Heimdall to flash the boot.img directly as the kernel. I stopped quickly with this because my i777 only partially worked with no radio on the last try, and it became unusable quickly. It was also getting extremely hot near the top of the unit, so I went and flashed back the AOKP image I had been using previously.
My attempts to build from scratch have been unpleasant to say the least, and it seems the Nexus is on the list of hardware along with the i9100, but the i777 and i9100g and others are not on the roadmap yet.
For those who want to know what this is, it's a Linux kernel that boots into a special version of Firefox, and then uses web documents and web standards to do everything. All of the OS is coded in HTML5/JS/CSS and has new JS implemented for controlling and using the phone's hardware. The "apps" are websites that are accessed remotely and then cached so that they do not have to be updated until the remote version changes, so the OS can upgrade extremely rapidly.
I'm looking forward to seeing this remove some of the mess made by the manufacturers and providers, and to see some much needed user control brought back into the system.
Big question since i'm brazillian, WHY BRAZIL?

hi... i have been searching for a rom which is as close to stock roms provided by samsung.... read sumwhere samsung i9000's rom has been ported to vibrant but i couldnt find any... ic anybody knows anything abt this or any other gb rom with touch wiz, plz let me know...

Using Odin to go back to stock would probably be a best way to do it, but if you're dead set on a ROM you could look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193
And specifically here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24149078&postcount=224
Hopefully that link still works, but if it doesn't I think that Moped Ryder has a thread where he rehosted those files. You'll have to look around for it though.
Nice thing about that ROM is that it comes rooted, and busyboxed for you.
i want a gb rom, not 2.1 or 2.2. so i think i am stuck with either cm7 or those simply honey and simply stock roms wich are heavily themed. i dont like thems.... read a guide about porting gb roms of i9000 i think will have to giv it a shot....

yep gud rom.. but video playback is not upto the mark in this rom...
I know your asking for a GB ROM but you should really move on, Chimera 1.1 is the future. Go ahead and install Chimera 1.1 ROM, if you don't like this ROM then something is seriously wrong. I would recommend Platypus kernel if you do switch over. Chimera comes with a custom installer with multiple options for kernels, apps, keyboards etc. The custom installer is awesome, you can literally set it up to install whatever you want and whatever you DONT want. www.team-passion.com is where you will find it, try it seriously! Worst thing that happens is you don't like it but its really the best ROM i have ever used, period. If you do install, choose apex launcer or even samsung launcher if you want the samsung look, the cndlauncher has problems so do not install it! O yea, 911 has been proven to work on chimera also, try it dude.

No to go too far off topic, but if you are running ANY ICS rom, you need to be aware of the risks of this bug. It doesn't descriminate. Just yesterday, someone Odin'd to JFD and flashed all the way to ICZen (which has been the least effected ROM) and got it. Fortunately he was able to somehow get it back to full working status, but if you are unaware to what this bug is, I suggest at the very least to make a backup of your internal_sd. The internal is what gets Encrypted and right now there is NO key and only a handful of people have come back from it. There is no solution or concrete cause for this bug.
Good Luck.

JBQ from Google confirmed in a post on a Google group that Android will assume any partition that doesn't contain valid data or zero is encrypted:
JBQ said:
Yup, with encryption support in ICS, Android has become a lot more
picky about having all the filesystems initialized with valid data,
and mistakenly assumes that anything that's not zero or valid is
encrypted, refusing to go any further.
In Gingerbread and before, anything that wasn't valid was expected to
be invalid, and Android would just re-initialize it, regardless of
whether it was zero or not.
You're lucky you didn't have to work with Honeycomb, where zeros were
considered encrypted.

If you read the EU threads, it's obvious life goes on post-EU. I got hit a while back, partitioned an external sdcard, and then used the emmc / sdcard swap to deal with the loss of access to my internal sd. If I get hit again, it's much easier to manage the situation with a portable ext sdcard. For one person, it was as simple as a chkdsk from a pc fixing the issue without losing any data.
Everyone's risk tolerance level will vary, but the benefits / performance and dev progression of ICS far out weigh any reason for me to consider downgrading. Imo, it's nasty, yes ... yet a manageable situation as long as you know the risks (and be proactive about backing up your data to another device or cloud acct).
Since EU, I religiously keep my TiBu data sync'd in Dropbox and consciously steer towards apps with online sync / backup capabilities, etc.
Moral of the story is ... once you go thru it, it's only as painful as how well you've heeded this man's sage advice:

I've read that Adobe Flash Player will not support Jelly Bean. What does this mean for us? Android going to have their own form of Flash? Honestly, one of the best parts of having Android over iPhones is Flash support.

Indeed, especially on sites that are good at actively developing mobile versions. Plus, Flash and Android never really seemed to mix in my opinion, especially on Android phones (tablets make more sense for some Flash apps, but still not all). However, it's still around out there, and many users still seem to use it and complain about it when they don't have it.
Of course flash is needed to our phone, so how could we watch porn on our device?

We may or may not get Jelly Bean pushed to our phones, but I will most likely be using a Jelly Bean ROM when they are stable.
Ended up ordering a nexus 7. As far as it goes for our phones, i really don't see us getting an official JB update anytime soon. It is taking them forever to get ICS out so I don't see them hurrying to compile a JB update for us.
ill just back it up and use it until it finally dies

Citation needed
It's hard to determine any actual percentage, but Flash remains dominant in most YouTube-esque sites. It's also about exclusively used on sites that have an image gallery, like an Associated Press news article. You know the type, a slide show with an arrow on each side of the picture... that's all Flash. If you're on some site with a stupid little arcade game... Flash. I know ESPN has a LOT of Flash content, from gamecasts, to all kinds of other interactive content.
Adobe made the decision to stop supporting Android. At least starting from 4.1. I think that's great from a security stand point. Maybe people will finally stop using flash for Web menus and the other half can start navigating sites. It's easy to ignore the iPhone users being android fans but from a business perspective, using flash on your sites, especially mobile sites is just stupid. Or you're ignorant of your Web traffic.

Well, I have successfully booted up 4.2 on my Droid X2. I have been running it since Monday, and it's pretty stable. the only things that aren't working are:
Video Camera
Bluetooth
A few bugs from CM10.
I want to know if you guys want me to finish it up, and try to ready it up for a release this weekend, or if you want me to try to fix bluetooth, and the video camera.
EDIT: I'm going to attempt to fix bluetooth. If it causes too many problems, i'll release it without bluetooth and work on it in my free time. There is a couple stability issues I have patched up, and it seems to be working just fine so far.
EDIT2: I'm taking finals tomorrow then i'll have a good month of tinkering with this ROM. My goal is to get it pretty stable by then end of August (like 8/10 stable).

I don't know how to get in contact with him. He's on XDA for like 5 minutes every week.
He has a twitter account he uses more often. @dragonzkiller.

not so much.
I would use his help, but I don't think he would be active enough when I needed him. I may get some help from Hashcode if I run into a problem updating this. I like to go solo with most of my things because people program differently. People use different organization, etc..

If you can get help from hashcode, you sir, will be able to get many a thing done.

The thing is, he doesn't have an X2, so I'm not sure if it's really different from other devices he's worked with.

He may not have an x2 but he definitely has some insightthat is somewhat lacking here right now

I would really enjoy his help, but I'm not sure if he will help. I just tried fixing bluetooth and now i'm getting some issues.

True. Bluetooth is really difficult to fix so is the camera. Keep it up though, its good to see someone working on it.

Nice to hear someone is still working on this thing. If you have a decent build of 4.2.2, I dont see a reason to not release it. Just put all the usual warnings in the post and make it an Alpha. If you do, I'll flash it and test it out. Good work

A lot of people use bluetooth so i'll try to get that working. I'm not sure if i'll take the time for the camera, considering it's been an issue for a while. You can take pictures, you just can't record.

I have been working on this since about the time CM10 A2.99999 was released. The first time it didn't even boot, the next time, touch screen didn't work, and i've just been wiping out issues since then. It's pretty stable, has about the same battery life as CM10 A3 but I know of some apps that help it greatly. Right now I can get about a 12 hour battery life. This includes a phone call or 2, texting, some web browsing, and a little bit of gaming during my web design class.
I have it to a point where it can be a daily driver for some. I want it to be a little bit more stable. I'm free today so i'll spend most of my evening working on it. Tomorrow i'll have a little free time.

Sounds like you got most of the kinks worked out. And you're right about the camera. It may never be fixed since you cant use certain things that Jelly Bean needs. Again, good work. Sounds like you put a lot of effort into this. :good:

I have put a lot of effort in. Theres a few more things i'm going to fix before i push out the ROM. I never thought this phone would see 4.2.
I wanted 4.2, and no one did it, so I learned how to do this myself.

Thats what people SHOULD do. I bet you learned a lot by building your own ROM too. Next thing you know, you'll start making apps.

I have already made apps. Learning how to make apps helped me pick this up easier. Once I get my new phone i'll try to make a custom ROM.

Nice.
I can't wait to flash this!
I'm wondering what's the word on Flash for the s4? I've read quite a few threads filled with insight about any given 3rd party app will work, but none of them are working; for me anyway. I've tried, BOAT Browswer, Dolphin, Skyfire, Stock, and Firefox for Android, and although BOAT Browser showed hope, none of them worked flawlessly.
From what I understand, the s4 wasn't made to handle flash in any aspect which is why installing the apk doesn't fix the situation for stock browsers like it has in the past, especially for my s3.
I'm wondering has anyone come up wtih a fix for this? Or will there even be a fix for this? I may consider returning this and getting the HTC One if there isn't at least a plausible fix on the horizon.

It'll probably work on the stock browser in CM as it always does when CM becomes more readily available.

Html5 is getting to be more prevalent but to say every flash site will load is incorrect.

Here is The flashplayer apk. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/4rvqr7dlm8b71z0/install_flash_player_ics.apk)
The .apk is readily available through Adobe's website, that's not the issue. My guess is that the s4 doesn't really know how to handle the Flash since it was built in expectation to not have to deal with flash in the first place. Which means someone would have to come along with a Rom with Flash abilities cooked in already. I'm not sure, but I imagine that won't be too difficult to do.
Oh, and apparently none of my more favorite...let's say 'extracurricular' websites are using HTML5 which renders them useless on my s4 so far.

How about we pull the browser apk from galaxy s3 and try to run it on s4. Flash worked on the s3 browser can't hurt to try

Flash doesn't work fine. Html5 is not the same as flash. The OP already explained that the apk won't work....
Go to newgrounds.com and try to run flash movies...you will see yourselves it doesn't work.

First of all, sincere apologies for posting this in the wrong section.
I've read that people have successfully been able to pull the s3 browser apk and port it over to the s4 mildly successfully. I actually have an s3 but I'm not confident enough in my android/linux skills to be a pioneer in this. Maybe I will put some time into it and see since I have a day off today.
So I used Root Explorer to get the Browser apk from my s3 and tried to install it to my s4...needless to say it didn't work. I even tried to put the s3 browser in the system files by replacing the s4's default browser. Nothing...maybe I did it wrong?
---Sorry for the double post...I could've swore I saw somebody else as the last poster. Sorry!
