From qhat I've read: no

I see no reason not to get it... Nexus S got it and runs it ultra fast. That means Galaxy S is more than capable of running it! Also, Nexus S needed to be updated to 2.3.6 to be able to upgrade. I believe we will see leaks for our devices as well. I think that is one reasons Samsung never released TouchWiz 4 for our device, I believe it will come in this ICS update (if they make one).

That's day dreaming.
We will most likely not get TW4 but maybe if the planets align properly we will get ICS.

Day dreaming? Why would they port the old crappy TouchWiz 3 on ICS when they have an already ported and new version of TouchWiz 4?
Also... Samsung Wave got TouchWiz 4 in Bada 2.0 update, I don't see why Galaxy S won't get it in ICS (both are HUGE updates and both devices share the same hardware).

..

To make their clients happy and keep staying with Samsung products? One thing is sure... if they update SGS to ICS, I will keep buying Samsung phones and I'm sure I'm not the only one who will do the same!
Nexus One doesn't have i9000's power...

I hate android fragmentation. SGS is capable to run ICS withouth any problems but its questionable will samsung release update. That fragmentation will cost android, now or later but it will damage androids reputation.

it is a WHEN question not IF

I hear samsung is going to ufficial update sgs to ics... but first sgs II...

Then lets keep our fingers crossed

Me thinks Samsung will not release ICS officially for SGS. But we will get CM9 anyway so I don't care

Dont mattet if samsung updates it..... see sig

That's what I thought they'll achieve with ICS... and now we have some Galaxy Nexus models that won't get aosp update, what a mess.
But a lot of manufacturers are working fast on ICS, that's nice to see though (minus the bloat).

Wow, I saw right now a video on youtube with ICS 4.0.3 on Nexus S, it runs flawlessly and soooo smooth. I love the new Launcher from ICS, will it be possible to get it runing on our Galaxy S when we receive ICS officialy (at this moment I'm pretty shure that we will )?

Too soon to talk about Android 5.0 we just get 4.0 in our Atrix...Enjoy ICS please

The article says "However, since Android 4.0 did not perform as well as expected, several of Google's downstream partners are turning conservative about Android 5.0"
What's wrong with android 4.0. According to me this is an awesome improvement from previous versions.

Finally someone from Costa Rica! jajajaj I have the same phone! Well, Motorola is gonna update the Atrix by Q3 of this year.... Right now I'm on CM9 so far, I love it! Hopefully will be finished soon, however I have it as my daily ROM!
On topic: about Jelly Bean, i think is gonna be something like a change in the UI, nothing that big as jump from GB to ICS... who knows! let's see what google has for us!

My understanding is Jelly bean is not really going to be for phones much like how Honey comb was not for phones. instead it will be more of a tablet only OS.

I'm sorry, but I fail to understand why we need to begin a new thread to discuss tye hypothetical announcement of the next version of android.

I personally think it's too early, not so much for a new update but for a 5.0. Though for all we know it might not be 5.0, just rumors saying that. My bet's on 4.1. Not quite sure if it might change current 4.0 upgrade plans. Just my two cents.

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure Google is already working on Android 6.0.

I don't think this is correct as MY understanding is that ICS was to unite the OS of both tablets and phones much like IOS does with ipads/iphones. To create yet another new OS strictly for tablets would defeat the purpose of ICS as I understand it.

There is also the idea that it's primarily for netbooks/notebooks.

This thread shouldn't be filed under the Atrix lounge. Navigate to the Android fora if you want to talk JB.

Galaxy SII ICS (Android 4.0.3) released. Galaxy Note next???

I just saw this on SamMobile firmware page:
GT-I9100 - I9100XXLPJ - Android 4.0.3 - 2012 February - I9100OXALPJ - Open Europe
See: sammobile.com/firmware
It's starting??? Finally????

Not sure if it's helpful for us for the N7000, i suppose that a few drivers are in common, but it lacks the system UI and SPen. The stock frequencies are also differents.
Futur 'll us

so what about note??

Does it support switching to a normal Android 4.0 Holo launcher??

What it really means is that now they can start working full time for us, so the leaks should start dropping again... I hope

As above ^ This really means nothing for us..

Here is the link as Korean SGII user uploaded the screenshot of the new ICS...
It is identical to the ones we got from the chinese leaked version which does not looks like pure ICS.

Why would you ever think you were going to get a pure ICS?

Well will this be usefull for development. Becuase they have to release sources and Gnote is almost similar to SgS2.....
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Well, touchwiz it is still better than pure ics who can't even make folders in the drawer.
I have a nexus and I still using go launcher, the contact section it is a skin, the functions are the same.
But if you want stock ics wait some weeks for a rom

It seems that Samsung is currently deploying ICS in Asia and Europe, the ICS release for Note is going to follow.
Hope this will help devs to release custom ROMs without this crappy Touchwiz

I see where ICS for the SGS2 released by sammy has already been rooted.
The first few "official" releases should have numerous exploits that allow for
root without too much trouble.
I'll just be glad to get root back. I screwed up on the last update and did it
from Kies and lost root and don't want to jump through the hoops of downgrading,
wiping etc just to get root back, knowing the ICS update will probably wipe it all out again anyway.

Touchwiz is Samung's way of branding their Android devices. If every manufacturer included stock Android in their phones, what would be the incentive to get one particular device over another, especially if the hardware of all high end devices from all manufacturers is almost identical? Unfortunately, if you want the stock Android experience you'll have to get a Nexus, or flash a stock rom built from the ICS source code. Can't have your cake and eat it too I guess..

***[OFFICIAL] JellyBean 4.1 Discussion thread [XWLSW]***

Mod Edit - this is now where all JB discussions will be directed.
XWLSW link: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100
Old News
Before ranting about how Samsung sucks blah blah and messing up this thread, please read this --->post<--- first.
I will start a discussion about JellyBean (Android 4.1) so that our forum will not be cluttered with JB stuff.
Although i was late in viewing the live stream of google i/o i found this info over at phonearena. Jellybean will remove lag on devices that will run it? If so it would be cool to have it on our device (even though i only experience micro stutter lag). Hope it removes those little lag i experience sometimes.
Source: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-4.1-Jelly-Bean-is-announced-waves-goodbye-to-lag_id31659
Do you think our device will get updated to JellyBean? My personal opinion is yes because it is just a point release not a major overhaul of the OS. Maybe it will be less hassle to developers on porting it from ICS to JB than from GB to ICS (since this one is a major update). What do you guys think? Will it finally remove the micro lags we are experiencing or will it just be another android update without much improvement?

I dun think sammy is going to release a JB rom but we will see AOSP/AOKP/CM9 for sure there's still a lot of people who haven't switched to the SGSIII

I really hope they update sgs2 to JB. Like the sgs1 which got 3 updates (from eclair, froyo then gb). I hope if sammy will update the s2 to jb they will not mess it up, although i think it will still have the same UI.

I'm a bit confused. Is JellyBean going to be version 4.1 or 5.0? :silly:

4.1

"The first side of the Jelly Bean update is the way it interacts with hardware. One of the main complaints with Androids is that it often gets laggy even on the most sophisticated devices. Google has finally radically addressed this so manufacturers and developers can make their devices lag-free. The solution is called Project Butter and it comes with triple buffering so that the CPU and GPU work without waiting for each other. This means scrolling, zooming and virtually all actions become much faster."
It took them 4 MAJOR versons to fix this! Shame on you Google!

Are you guys really gona move to an OS without Flash support?
I know i am not!

4.1 Jelly Bean
4.1 is Jelly Bean.
Super excited for the release of the new ASUS Nexus 7 tablet, which will run with 4.1 Jelly Bean.
I expect great performance from this latest update. I expect that if they are marketing it to be lag free, than it should be.
Cannot wait to see for myself!

I purposely don't have flash installed on my home PC. If a video is in Flash then they wont get my views then simple. HTML5 or GTFO!

I don't expect Samsung will release it for SGS II.
I doubt JB will be worth at all... ICS except few changes like icons ect. is worse than GB...

HTML 5 video is big FAIL.
There is no real fullscreen - Flash is the way.
YouTube tried HTML 5 and was shouted about this stupid idea

I can't wait for custom ROM based on Jelly Bean. I love the new notification bar and its parallel processing.

Sammy definately won't release this for our s2! Lets be serious now lol! Sold a **** load of s2's but don't really care when it comes down to updates! I'm looking to get a galaxy nexus for my upgrade! I don't want an s3 lol. Can't wait to try out jelly bean though

Flash is becoming obsolete. Adobe has accepted html5 is going to replace it and is ceasing support for it soon (though its pushing devs to Adobe AIR platform).
And the video play back is very good. Try you tube opt in and look for a no-ads video to test it, better than flash imo.
God, I hope we get 4.1 because Ive missed offline voice recog for years. And the other goodies look cool

GNex HSPA for $349 on Playstore, add shipping and taxes. I'm thinking about getting one myself.

Where can I find the video presentation ?

Why do you all think we won't get this for our phones? I'll be really disappointed if we don't get it. Samsung has had access to Jelly Bean for some time now (according to Google), and since it's a rather small update and well within 18 Months of our Galaxy S2's update span, we should really get it.

I just have one question: will Samsung upgrade our devices? 4.1 sounds cool, seems smoother, otherwise Google woudn't release this.

jelly bean 4.2.2 is definitely the latest that i expected.
the s2 is too old but still good.
morover the most of us will get a new phone very soon because of the contracts.
and this phone will get android 5 or higher in the future.

Gonna upgrade to another manufacturer i think...since the uk galaxy s4 will be a snapdragon based model and not the octocore we were hoping for...key lime pie will be nice.

Still not sufficient. A 650€ flagship should be supported more than 2 years and 2 poor versions. Ics & JB...
Or at least let the community do their job...

I totally agree, and don't understand the attitude of some people here... I didn't buy the phone just to replace it at the end of contract. It's still working perfect and I don't see the need for a replacement. Samsung should just let the community handle the updates if they are to lazy to do it themselves.

S2 till it dies, and when it does, another s2.
Fu*k it, I'll buy a couple s2 when they get 300 bucks cheap here (It's still at 600 bucks unbranded, 400 branded, crazy).

Ok, chill out now, no need to get sentimental.
I really wanna see 5.0 and what it's all about, I'm somewhat skeptical on the gigant upgrade that would represent against JB.
If a couple of devs make it work with no issues on their ROMs I don't see why we can't lobby up and ask for that update.
I mean, samsung devs vs xda devs...I'm sticking with our troops.
One thing's for sure, if the galaxy nexus gets it, I'll burn tires right in front of Samsung.

that's too bad..

Yes, if Samsung would now release all the sources (required by the license) we could keep upgrading our devices on our own. The S2 community has done a fabulous job, and we would get some disaffected devs back if we had all the sources. This is still a great phone. I'd hazard to say that there aren't many (any?) other 2 year old phones that still run this well on the "latest" software. I agree it might be still going strong in 4 years. Due to Samsung's intransigence however I think my next has to be Nexus. But it's hard to justify giving this up. Despite a faded screen, and reduced capacity of the battery, it still screams smoothly!
