[HOT][NEW] Google reportedly to release Android 5.0 'Jelly Bean' by June.

efore Ice Cream Sandwich has managed to reach more than 1% of Android devices, reports are suggesting that its successor, Android 5.0 ‘Jelly Bean’, could launch as soon as June.
The news comes in the form of a Digitimes report, which is known for being hit-and-miss with its accuracy, but cites supply chain sources that state the search giant will seek to release its new Android platform to provide competition to Microsoft’s new Windows 8 operating system, which will debut in the third quarter.
With Android 5.0 thought to deliver yet more features for tablet devices, Taiwanese suppliers are already to deliver dual-OS tablets and notebooks, which will be able to instantly switch between Google’s and Microsoft’s mobile-friendly platforms.
Despite officially launching with the release of the Galaxy Nexus at the end of last year, Ice Cream Sandwich has yet to reach the majority of new Android smartphones and is only expected to receive a boost in take-up when the world’s biggest mobile vendors release new devices at Mobile World Congress, commencing at the end of the month.
By February, Gingerbread (in particular versions Android versions 2.3.3 - 2.3.7) accounted for 58.6% of Android gadgets, while the latest flavour accounted for just one percent of devices.
It is believed that Google will use its new Android release to galvanise its re-entry into the notebook and netbook markets, after Chromebook sales failed to take off. As a result, Google’s partners are reported to be “conservative” about utilising the new platform.

Well, this isn't very much Wildfire related as official support from CyanogenMod ended at Gingerbread, and this will be, by the looks of it, just for tablets and notebooks.

Official support will return with ics the unofficial port of cm 9 is very stable already

That's a strong statement to say about the unofficial port of cm9 as not all features work yet. eg camera etc.. I wouldn't class it stable yet! but with people working at it, it may in time.

Oh I don't think it will become official, sorry to say, time to move on folks
... But if it does, congrats.
I do miss my wildfire though. But i got my SGS on a cheap contract $30 a month so couldn't pass it up.

But then the camera doesn't work on many ICS roms.
Even if we don't get official support we got ErwinP
Hes doing a pretty good job with it.
It was smooth enough when i OC'ed to 652Mhz.

good news for cm 7 lovers......development wont stop offically

The Future of CyanogenMod 7
It’s been nearly two months since we released the initial 7.2 RC1. Since then, the team has been working hard to identify and fix the issues reported to the bug tracker. We are nearing our release of CyanogenMod 7.2, based on Android 2.3.7 and will be releasing…….soon! You didn’t think you were getting an ETA did you?
Users may notice that some devices that received RC1 will not be graduated to a stable release. This is due to bugs we consider as showstoppers, but we feel there is no reason to hold up working devices for a few stragglers. The stragglers are not dropped, but will play catch-up to receive a 7.2-stable release.
What’s Next?
Many people have wondered what will become of CyanogenMod 7 now that Ice Cream Sandwich work has begun, and likewise, what happens to all the devices that won’t make it to CyanogenMod 9. We aren’t just leaving you behind.
The 7.x branch of CyanogenMod will stay open, available, and active beyond 7.2. We may switch to a more weekly drop of the infamous nightlies at some point, but they will continue as well.
In addition to that good news, we have a slew of new devices being merged into mainline thanks in part to our developer relations initiative and the greater Android community.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean source code now available

well here is the announcement
http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/09/android-4-1-jelly-bean-source-code-now-available/
and confirmation here
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/android-building/XBYeD-bhk1o
let the fun begin

Well, only as soon as Cyanogenmod 10 is released... It's a much easier update than before, and it better be, since CM9 will be phased out as soon as CM10 works well.
We're all counting on upstream developers in the end.

Good news, really looking forward to Project Butter & Google Now (w/ Voice) I woke up and checked my phone and noticed my trip to work had traffic and I was like sweet.

I run the paranoidandroid rom as my spare, since I've moved on from the HD2. But I still anxiously await JB on this beauty!

JB will be the best Version of Android so far

7 different AOKP ROMs?

I really like AOKP and have been running it for years across several different devices. My question is can there really be 7 different AOKP ROMs? 2 of the 7 claim to be "official".
Now before you jump down my throat, I appreciate anyone who busts there a$$ to provide all the cool development.

I understand your confusion. Technically, there is only one official AOKP release (if I'm wrong, someone can chime in). That can be found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170016
The others are builds based off of AOKP and might also be AOKP PUB builds (PUB being Project Unicorn Butter, started by official AOKP developer Steve Spear). His original PUB also says "official," hence the confusion. However, the Rootzwiki thread for these builds was moved to the unofficial section to avoid confusion with the actual official release. Since his stepping away to give himself a break, a few other developers have started building PUB. Technically, these builds are identical to the latest official AOKP build, just with added PUB features and ocassionally some extra cherry picks (which usually end up being in the next official release anyway).
This is the beauty of open source development.

Thanks. Makes sense with the addition of PUB to create a separate ROM.

PACROM for the Google Nexus 5 (Hammerhead)?

Hola
Of all the custom roms available I always seek out PACROM. The sheer number of customizations you folks offer are second to none! Any website or forum thread where one can find out when an official release is going to be available or at least a discussion on it?
Thanks for the hard work and time on continuing this.
"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"

We already have maintainers for the N5. And for PAC 4.4, check our gerrit or github for progress

What exactly does that mean as far as Pac Rom availability for the Nexus 5?

That there is already someone assigned to set up PAC 4.4 for Nexus 5, and as soon as Nightlies starts to be released you will have it. PAC team is already merging somethings before release builds

A maintainer is someone who is working on and will eventually post the release correct? I did notice PA nightlies get released so hopefully Pac will come out soon.

You can build the rom yourself from source. I've been using it for a bit and its working well.

Awww I almost thought this was the official ROM for the Nexus 5 because Google wasn't showing the entire title in the search. Can't wait for this!

sign me up too

Any updates on the progress of this?

Definitely can't wait till it hits my best friend has it on his Atrix HD and loves it guess I will stick with beanstalk till it drops

looking forward to pacrom! as im new to the custom rom world im extremely excited having never experienced it

As much as I want PACROM, I know that it's probably going to be a while till we get it. PA and AOKP both don't even have all their features for hammerhead yet weird since the nexus line is as open as it gets lol

Actually, we are pretty close to a release and just have some settings related stuff to sort out before we release. The release of features from roms like PA do not have any impact on our release timeline as those features will be merged into PAC after they have finished/released it. As for your device being a Nexus, this again does not affect the release timeline for your device. Features are added onto Android itself, not ported to each device individually.

Oh this is great to hear... Been waiting since I got my n5 to hear some news for Pacman on it...

First used Pac on my blaze, than my s3.... Cannot wait for my N5 to get it!!

pacman is one of my favorite roms by far. because its a mashup of everything and you get so much more. I cant wait till it drops so i can flash on my N5

I'm wondering how the merge will go for CM into PAC considering they made all these changes to the core and kernel and many major kernel devs have given up support for it... Hope it's extra features can be merged successfully...
Sent from my Nexus 5

I built from what they have on github and they already have the CM features implemented. There's not much else but that's understandable seeing the shape of PA and AOKP with their features but I don't think adding CM features is going to be to difficult

Any new news on this...?? CM just had their 3rd milestone...
Sent from my Nexus 5

Its all good. The longer it takes to release, the better it will be (hopefully, right)... PA and AOKP both are still working on their own features as well.
