[Q] SGS3 with jelly bean 4.2.1 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when we will see 4.2.1 on SGS3 with touchwiz ?

Should be Q1 of this year... Hope before S4 comes out.

No-one knows for sure.
Don't ask questions in General

I'm not sure when but we can be certain we will get it. The one thing that really excites me is to see if the sgs3 can run android 4.3/5.0 officially or trough the dev way.. unfortunately we must all just wait and find out unless we have some paranormal devs around here

Latest news is November. And even then I guess it will be in the last week. Certainly not in the first. But I like your positive thinking

I was very reluctant at first, but, my answer to you now would be YES!
yeah go for it, there is no gurantee it will be Nov anyway !!
Root it, have a play and then you can try some of the Unofficial JB roms now :good:
Official JB for i9100 will be released in November, not earlier.
So, try CM10. It's stable and smooth.

Maybe we should dream your dream, mate. It's a good one.
Root root root
Just root your phone! Even the Galaxy S3 hasn't received the update in most regions... The S2 is lower priority for Samsung. When all S3s get the update we should expect the update a week from then. JUST ROOT IT FOR NOW.
Next month, the new Samsung Galaxy S3, its predecessor the Galaxy S2, and the original Galaxy Note, are set to get their much awaited Android Jelly Bean OS update (October). Good news is that the Jelly Bean OS is the answer to security flaw of the TouchWiz UI.
This month of September, Samsung have started to rollout the latest Android update from the Ice Cream Sandwich to the Jelly Bean OS. Please note that the Kies-supported Android rollout is limited to the country Poland only. Samsung recently said in an e-mail that the company claims that more countries will start getting the Android Jelly Bean update soon and schedules may vary by market and wireless carriers.
So other than being able to use the latest Android flavor on the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy Note, this Jelly Bean rollout to fix issued related to the phone’s TouchWiz. According to some reports, a hacker has confirmed that Samsung’s custom skin under the Ice Cream Sandwich update has added risk in allowing hackers to remotely wipe clean or disable any data on the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S2.
Maybe it is because of this that Samsung already started the rollout to their new Galaxy S3’s to simply fix the said security flaw? The sad part is that not all devices are included in the list of phones to receive the Jelly Bean update. Samsung also urges their Galaxy S3 customers to download and install the said software.
Again, a post made by the Android Police stated that the Jelly Bean alone can fix the current security flaw. The said site also explained that “We have confirmation that this exploit is also fixed in Jelly Bean, as well, so any device running Android 4.1 should be safe.”

[Q] Galaxy Stellar (SCH-1200) and Jelly Bean

First, let me say I have searched the forums and the Wiki. Please do not strike me down, oh ye Gods of XDA :crying:
I have a Galaxy Stellar (SCH-1200) and I want to be able test Jelly Bean. I have looked on the Internet and it seems that each device has a version tailored to it.
My question(s): Is there a version I can install, or do I need to wait for an "official" release?
Thanks for your time, and help.
No one here has taken much interest in this device yet (which is unfortunate as I have one too), so there has yet to be a port of Jelly Bean for it.
For stellar dev you have to head over to rootzwiki as xda does only high-end devices

Official 4.1.1 update?

Hello guyz,
I convinced my brother to move from his iPhone to the galaxy S3.. So he bought a S3.. And now he loves it...he hates iPhone now... After using android he said that " I was living under a rock all these time " .....and he is so so in love with his S3.. He even told he he is going to buy the S4 next...
Now going on topic.. He wants to update his phone to latest version. Which I think is 4.1.1 officially..
My question is how is the performance or usability in jelly bean?
What are the pros and cons? (If any )
If u want to mention any firmware build numbers u are more than welcome..
I am not talking about custom, I want stock opinions...
Thankssss all...
Best regards,
N

My honest opinion..... Stick with ICS.
JB lags like crazy and I would wait till 4.2 is released
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Well I trıed 5-6 official jb leaks. Scrolling between home screens is faster. New notification system is much better but yes unfortunately there are glitches and lags.
Then I decided to give custom rom a shot and installed Ultima. I am very happy with that. Lags and glitches happen time to time but much less than stock roms.
This question has been asked and answered multiple times .
Stick with ICS until you are capable of using the search function .

Developing ROMs?

Hi, I was interested in building an ICS ROM for the galaxy player 4.2. After compiling ICS from the source, what steps do you need to take to make it into a ROM?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
I'm afraid it's not THAT simple. AFAIK, there is a lot of work to be done before a booting ICS can be achieved. If you have no prior experience in android ROM development, I don't think this is a task you should take up right now. ICS compiled from the AOSP will not work on the 4.2 without modification and an ICS kernel, both of which are far beyond my current technological skill. Also this should be in general. Yes, I know it IS development related, but this IS a development site. Questions belong in the general thread. Thanks.
Odp: Developing ROMs?
Well starting by practice is good way imo. I did so But wothout knowledge, you have to be extremely patient

I understand, maybe I can look at how it was achieved on the other players and it might be similar?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't look at the other players, as the 4.2 is pretty different from the 4 and 5. Try finding another Samsung product with similar hardware. Example: the galaxy player 5.0 is very similar to the SGS i9000 , Nexus S (crespo), and GTab p1000.

Okay, but I'm pretty sure the 4.2 is similar to nexus s?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
Compare specs. Find out.

Odp: Developing ROMs?
by specs our devices are quite similar, by kernel etc. less but still similar.
I think that good and interesting way of learning is to add same/similar modifications as on crespo/aries and try to understand how does it accually work.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm quite busy at the moment catching up with school work, I'll see what I can do this weekend.

Hell, the 4.2 might even get an official update. Unlikely, but possible. IDK if Samsung has made a statement about this, but it only came out last year. (I think)
I called Samsung and asked about official updates and they said the 4.2 won't be getting any because the specs aren't good enough....

Thats a lie. there was a device called the Galaxy Music that had an 800 mHz processor that got JB.
Samsung wont update the galaxy players because they are much cheaper compared to phones (take the s3 for example, it costs 700-800 bucks if you get it without a contract)
I'd suggest reading through the following threads if you haven't already. Then ask about the specific parts there you're not understanding.
[GUIDE] How to port ROMs to the Galaxy Players
[Guide]Rom Development for Dummies (and a few other things)
And I found this one that describes the complete process for the aospa rom. You should be able to adapt the details for whatever rom you're working on.
[GUIDE][AOSPA:v3.+] How to Compile AOSPA from Source : + Support and Maintenance
That won't work until there is a working ICS kernel though. And even after that is completed, work will need to be done on the ROM.

[Q] Release of official 4.2

Hi.
Does anybody knows when samsung release android 4.2 for our phone?
Thanks in advance
Nobody knows
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
They should already release it but there are some problems with TouchWiz... I'm thinking we just have to wait about one month more.
Some say sat. Sammobile has said a flagship is getting it in 48hrs S3 leak is already out so mite be s2:thumbup:
So we must wait. I believe that it will be soon.
