Is most likely the dumb down Google search and the slider brightness in notification bar

Hello globatron,
Please re upload anything exclusively to megaupl*ad; site is officially shut down
http://www.bgr.com/2012/01/19/megaupload-com-shut-down-founder-charged-with-violating-piracy-laws/
Megaupload has nothing to do with me, I have never uploaded directly to megapload.

Dark day with bad long term ramifications. Hopefully they beat the case and set a strong precedent

This may be a good lead for Tacoroot since the mega upload link is down:

Really?
But in that Korean website where JB update details were posted 2 weeks ago, I have seen it saying that you should update to JB only from ICS and never from GB.
Anyway I have migrated to 4.04 after reading that in the hope that it is going to be a very short wait for JB release.
Edit:Got that document now

Could you make it work for 4.1.2? I don't want to update to 4.3 'til bugs are gone and Doomlord has released an exploit, which might take while

dude it just takes few minutes to unroot & go back to stock so whats the problem in testing a new version of firmware if its stable we can root the new firmware & use it as a daily driver....
Thank you buddy
By the way I am facing issue while changing lockscreen wallpaper if ripple effect is selected.
Any one is having same issue?

I am not facing any problem like this after the update I suggest to reinstall your firmware & do a factory reset....
24.80 mb update fixed the bugs but no lollipop for grand 2
Guys 24.80 mb update was a clever update by samsung as they were planning for big os upgrade for this device but due to huge number of devices releasing every year, hence they were unable to provide the upgrade and just sorted the bugs with this minor update. You may say its the last grand 2 update. Here is the source website:https://www.justaboutphones.com/samsung-galaxy-grand-2-grand-prime-mega-2-lollipop-update-cancelled/
