Hi guys. Sorry if this has been answered before. I searched with no results.
Im curious to know if the new Jelly Bean update for our Samsung Galaxy S2 will have the latest TouchWiz 5 Interface in it. For those who are not familiar with this Touchwiz 5 word, well, to make it more simple to you, will the new Jelly Bean update for the S2 have the interface like the one is Samsung Galaxy S3.
Ive seen a lot of the new low/mid-end phones made by Samsung are being made with TouchWiz 5, so I thought this has not to do with hardware as it has to do with software, so Im sure our S2 is good enough to handle TouchWiz 5.
If someone of you have any information, i'd be happy to know.
Thanks.
This is the dedicated discussion thread for Galaxy SII Jellybean update:forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736726. So ask your questions there.

Hi guys:
I want to get a Galaxy S2 from Rogers, and I was wondering if I can flash the stock stock stock ICS rom onto the GS2 (I'm not a fan of the touchwiz)
Thanks
Bill
No you can't because the Rogers Galaxy SII is a different phone that uses a different chipset, making it incompatible with the ICS rom.
Even if you got the Bell one, which is the international variant, there are no fully functional stock ICS roms yet. If it's what you want, get yourself a Galaxy Nexus.
Sorry I should I have made it a bit clear, what I meant is, can I flash the phone with a stock version of the android operating system? since I'm not a fan of the touchwiz, nor am I a fan of the Rogers apps that they install on the phone.
(Or can I turn off TouchWiz?)
Thanks!
Instead of TouchWiz launcher, you can find other launchers in Google Play (Market). I've used ADW laucher ex (small cost) and Go Launcher (free) with great success.
I really don't care for TouchWiz either. Limited number of icons in the launch bar across the bottom and it doesn't handle my custom lcd density.
I'm running the Roger's branded Samsung Galaxy SII LTE (sgh-i727r).
I realize this question was posted a while ago but hopefully my response is of some assistance.
Good luck.

FYI, you should probably be looking for help/information/firmware/etc in the SGH-I727 forum, not the GT-I9100 forum... I know the forum title actually says "AT&T Skyrocket", but it's the same phone, (SGH-I727) really...
I'm not the OP, just replying since I have the device the OP was considering.
You are right however, that most of the content related to Galaxy SII Skyrocket (sgh-i727) applies to the Rogers branded Galaxy SII device.

I thought it worth mentioning, since you are a new member, (only 2 posts at the time of this writing) and I've seen many many MANY users of other Galaxy SII variants screw themselves over by flashing I9100 firmwares or kernels.
Hi, I have searched on this subject but can't seem to find an answer. So here goes; Google gave paid attendees of the 2011 IO, SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets. Is this device kept up to date by Google? If it hasn't already, is it expected to receive the update to Jelly Bean?
SAMSUNG haven't even updated their stock version to Ice Cream Sandwich yet, and ICS will have been released a year in October.
My apologies in advance if this is a noob question. Many thanks. Anil

No,if i remember correctly the latest stock Android version for the IO Tab was the 3.1 honeycomb.
The thing that i'm not aware of ,is if there is a Custom rom (CM9) for this tab.

Hi nighthawk696969, thanks for your reply. I bought my girlfriend a Galaxy Tab around 6 months ago. She already had an ASUS Transformer, but the Galaxy Tab is batter suited to her needs. I flashed a custom ROM based on CM9 which runs fine, but isn't perfect. But better for her because the ICS version of Gapps are better.
My question arose from the fact that I'm thinking of getting a Galaxy Nexus to replace my LG O2X because I want OS updates to be timely, and not take years. Which reminded me that the Galaxy Tab, whilst never an official NEXUS device, it was given by Google to attendees at an IO slightly over a year ago.
But you say, the current stock Google release for this device is Honeycomb? WOW! That is lame of Google. My girlfriends old ASUS which is sitting in a box, already has had ICS since January, and two updates since then.
This situation is what I think of when I hear the term "fragmentation". Thanks. Anil
Hey guys,
First post on the forms hear. Do you guys think the Samsung Galaxy S I500 will be able to run JB 4.2? I have my phone running 4.1.2 now and it runs fine. The phone has some decent specs for the time but it lacks RAM. Is there going to be any major changes to 4.2?
Thanks in advance
Matt
Hi all
Was just curious, is the Tab 10.1 capable of running an Android 4.2 rom with TouchWiz and features such as multi-window from the Note 10.1? Is someone busy developing a similar one? I'm running ICS The Beginning rom by Task650.... And it's great.... I'm sure if he developed 4.2 with TW it would be even more awesome....

I wouldn't hold my breath for this. Samsung has to get around to rolling out TouchWiz on JB. This isn't likely, given their track record of rolling out ICS for the 10.1 months after its initial release. The features you are looking for from the Note 10.1 are also unlikely to make their way into the Tab 2 10.1, let alone the Tab version 1 10.1.
This is an excellent little tablet, particularly with the tweaks and custom rome available on this forum, it's just not Samsung's premiere product offering anymore.
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is already out on the Galaxy Nexus, but other phone are still waiting for manufacturers to do the work and update their handsets to the newest version of Android. What’s worse is that some handset will never officially get updated to Jelly Bean.
If you want to change that, you should be on XDA Developers where all the development happens and now the Samsung Galaxy Ace and Gio, some of the most affordable low-end Androids, got the CyanogenMod 10 ports.
CyanogenMod 10 is the Jelly Bean based version of the custom ROM. If you want to flash it, just check out the links below where you’ll find all the detailed information you need.
Interestingly, the Ace and Gio were never included in Samsung’s plans for the update to even ICS as they run on a pretty dated ARMv6 processors. Now, a very important disclaimer is that those ports are not yet final - they are alpha versions that are still not ready for prime time. You can get on and help the developer and also get a taste of what’s to come with them though.
What's the point of this? Posting an ad for XDA forums on XDA forums kinda defeats the purpose, no?
