Right on schedule...

Will it be to big a resource hog to put cm10 on this phone, or will it be more streamlined. Windows 8 is smaller then windows 7 so far

HMMM i wonder who will get it first Nexus FTW of course i will have to wait until sprint releases it or at least until somebody ports it from the GSM Galaxy Nexus. google phone powers activate.

Rumor? Not official? I've also heard that Jelly Bean will be 4.1 and won't be a huge change or require any additional resources?
Should probably change the thread title to show it's just a rumor.

That makes a lot more sense then 5.0 because if it was 5.0 updates of ics would be 4.1 not 4.0.4 like honey comb was

android 4.1
I googled for the new 4.1 coming out. I can't post a link but its on the blog.xamarin on google.

I'd agree that it will probably be 4.1, but Google can't just sit back and not make big changes. I expect huge news. Its the 5th anniversary of Android. There are rumors of 5 nexus devices. Windows 8 launches around the same time, as will ios6 which will probably have significant changes. Google can't sit still and pull a gingerbread type update.

There's nothing to say the new os will require any higher resources or more space though. Especially since everything about it is rumor.

I heard 5.0 is just a minor update. No major UI changes and just a speed and stability fix for ics.

That's what I heard also. Since 4.0 was a major UI change from previous versions of Android im sure whatever is next, whether it be 4.1 or 5.0, will just be small changes with few new features at the most..

Google can't keep making gaping changes without further exacerbating the fragmentation problem. I'd more expect Jellybean to be 4.1 than 5.0.
It'd be stupid of them to spend all the time overhauling the interface for ICS only to overhaul it again. The mass market doesn't like change in the interactivity of the device.
I expect far larger enhancements in usability. Further enhancements to ICS social network integration. Better syncing and integration with google drive (camera syncing). Maybe Google Chrome integration.
Sounds like the bulk of the focus will be buying from Google directly (maybe all carriers?)

What really grabbed me about this thread is that the word autumn is in the title. I call it fall. Is that just a midwest thing? I don't think I've heard it called that since grade school.

I've had the font for a little bit now it's pretty nice, but all the apps are odexed and there isn't a means to deodex them yet, so we have to wait and see I believe.
Yeah, I saw that you posted, I installed soon after, very easy on the eyes. I'm excited for ICS even though we just got GB source. I'm thinking maybe Google's ICS framework is what's needed for that sexy contacts or as they say, "people app", but I want that on my epic.
Yeah, I'm trying to take images from the ICS keyboard and move them to the Gingerbread keyboard. I replaced all the files....and yet, it still shows Gingerbread images. D:
But the font makes it more enjoyable.
Thanks Shiny, now that GB source just hit, you would think all the Debbie Downers would shut the hell up but now I am already seeing threads as to when will we get ICS. And this adds fuel to their fire....LOL.

Don't know if that is what they meant by it should be capable on 2.3 devices. More that the hardware will be able to handle ICS if it could handle Gingerbread. This would not be the first time though that a phone runs a newer version of android with a modified older kernal.

You'll be happy to know that the head designer of WebOS switched teams to Google during the development of Honeycomb. The "theft" from Palm is entirely public, not that I mind. It will do a lot to make Android easier to adopt and really separate it in function from iOS.

Nexus Revamped

[INFO] Google´s next Android OS "Jelly Bean"

Close on the heels of Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt announcing the arrival of the upcoming version of Android OS termed Ice Cream Sandwich in October or November, speculations have started on the next version of Android.
According to a report citing trusted sources in 'This is My Next', Jelly Bean is the working name for next incarnation of Android.
The name follows Google's tradition of calling its Android operating systems after sweets in alphabetical order. Earlier versions of Android follow a typical order -- Cupcake 1.5, Donut 1.6, Eclair 2.1, Froyo 2.2, Gingerbread 2.3, Honeycomb 3.0 and the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich.
The report quotes industry source saying, that the "game-changing stuff" that had originally been scheduled for Ice Cream Sandwich will be being pushed to Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean could be dubbed Android 4.5 or Android 5.0, depending on the amount of features packed, says the report.
Ice Cream Sandwich is expected to be a universal operating system that will work on phones, tablets, TVs, and even phones that transform into laptops. Among other things, the OS is likely to bring an updated app launcher, holographic user interface, interactive and new homescreen widgets and a multi-tasking panel.
Press thanks if you like the post

Not much information there, besides the name "Jelly Bean". Has that been known already?
Anyone get the OTA yet?
I thought ics was the game changer os? The one that was push back from gingerbread ?
The holographic user interface is still being shopped around huh? That junk was being hyped up pre-honeycomb release too.

Google hasn't even commented on Jelly Bean so how are they hyping it? In fact, I think they toned down the ICS announcement because apparently a lot of stuff was pushed back to the next major release. And Gingerbread was definitely the first release of Android that Google could really be proud of.

No, I am serious......without NVidia playing ball we have no true ICS. You said it yourself.....not fully functional! We have pseudo ICS with features that don't work properly, and sub optimal OS. This isn't a slam against any dev. Just stating what I believe is fact. We had the kernels, etc., before any ICS porting started. We lack what the devs require for a true ICS OS.
So you can say its ICS but its crippled. That's why I say like a themed GB.

-> Implying that a BMW engine is better than Ford.
Anyway I get what you meant, but it's not fair to say that it's a themed GB, especially not fair to the devs that have worked so hard to get a working version. The only things that aren't working (at least for me) are HW Libs, Camera is a little jerky, and Browser rotation on most browsers. I think that's pretty good and can only get better once we get a finished kernel.

From GS3 to Galaxy Nexus back to Gs3

So I sold my GS3 for a Galaxy Nexus because I wanted to experience Jelly Bean. Well after a week I'm back and heres why.
1. Screen bigger and better
2. Camera much better
3.phone felt much snappier(although I wasn't on Jellybean)
4.volume much louder and crisp
5.GSM Nexus had no LTE and below standard HSpa+ never over 6 mbps
So if your in to specs I say the Gs3 is the place for you.
Also if buying the Nexus off craigslist make sure it's able to receive the update the one I bought was on the wrong radio and was told it would not which Is why I sold it too.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Well, not to be bashful or anything, but I figured going with the GSIII was a given. Jelly Bean may be great, but it's not going to do anything to get the GNex up to GSIII standards. And no worries, GSIII will get it's fill of Jelly Bean goodness soon enough.
I had the galaxy nexus, I want on JB, I have no regrets switching.

No it won't. Official ics only just now rolled out for some sgs2 phones.The SDK was released in October of last year.
You might get some carrier leaks (buggy asz shiz) or cm10 (less buggy) but that will probably be many months.

Look up the change log and structure between those earlier android versions then go look at jelly bean compared to ics. Believe it or not the change isn't a complete overhaul, they meant for it to be that way.
Ps. there is already a beta jellybean on the international version, and we got cm9 and aokp within the first few weeks of the phone being out, the s3 is a whole nother beast compared to the s2

Enlighten me. Where can I find a "change log and structure" for Gingerbread/ICS and ICS/JB?
And how do those relate to programming an aosp rom?
Please.

Here's a little info on what's being worked for CM10 if you haven't seen I already.

I really wasn't interested, if you haven't guessed yet.
I was making a point about JB not being easily ported compared to ics or gb.
Im no dev but the majority of ICS porting applies to JB. Under the hood they are very similar. Google Now, the new voice software, and the triple buffering (kernel level stuff) are the major differences. Google now is an APK and the voice isn't requiring a lot of work either I'm sure.
If we don't have a fairly strong jb aosp in a month I would be surprised.

I kept my GNex as my backup to my GSIII. Praying for some AOKP love over here in Verizon GSIII land, lol.

I think it's pretty obvious that the jump from GB to ICS is what took so long. imagine trying to get all your current apps and data and customization to work with a new OS with zero hiccups and nothing lost. ICS is so completely different from GB, I'm not surprised it took so long. The jump to JB from ICS isn't nearly as large, as some people have pointed out. I'm banking on us getting it early Q4.

Ha ha right? The only thing that bothers me about the gnex is the screen and camera, the screen for some reason on my GS3 looks much better

Yup and it's spec wise not much bigger but the Gs3s screen just looks much nicer and bigger.

CM 10 doesn't require a bunch of new drivers or official blobs from Samsung so it should be rewrite of code and implementing the apps and such. If the SGS III got AOSP ICS in weeks I'd say cm 10 might be weeks away from the point source was released. I'm not positive cause I'm not on a computer, but I think Steve Kondik (Cyanogen) has the SGS III for T-Mobile. I'm no where near a PC (just my phone til Monday)... if he is on the device as the main team member, we are looking at great nightlys and then some.

I agree he actually has post in the nightly build topic, so he most likely is working on it
