I wish to know that why people get excited over a new android version. I mean we have all functionality including flash on ics so why be excited over jelly bean or any new version. I mean isnt android ics perfect already on sgs3 . Why want to update to new versions. iOS or windows users get happy over an update because they r restricted like recent introduction of panorama just recently in ios and micro sd card option for windows user, as far as I say how has android improved since gingerbread.ics seems perfect to me coz it's already buttery smooth. Just wondering ?
exactly, Android is boss right now, so what's wrong with getting excited over some extra bits and bobs?
You wouldn't be asking this if you had experienced Jelly Bean on the GSIII after using ICS.
Jelly Bean is wayyyy smoother, also there are obviously many many more improvements over ICS that you or I will probably never notice, but they do make our experience better.
you can use flash in jb. I can do in jb same things I done in ics. System now is faster and smoother
Because we love flashing new rom.

because people like to get new and better things, especially advanced user. I believe you are some of the only people who complain about getting a new update. and flash is also working in jelly bean

exactly. like pulling down the notification bar dims the background screen.not exactly 'useful', but pretty tasty.
Yeah i know u can use flash on Jelly bean too. I have actually flashed alot of roms, in fact using the latest JB right now .... yup agreed google now is one of the things in jelly bean, but still. Anyhow I am always happy to c new updates but i think we only see marginal improvements coz its already perfect as ics. and to be honest speed and stability is something which is exactly the same after some period of use either on ics or jelly bean.
I am looking forward for 200 hundred new features. =D

Because this Android wonderful phone i mean wonderful toy has lot to give for time pass to all these people which you can't understand. Their life almost move around the phone only. Sleeping, waking up everything its addiction they live their life. Their life is dedicated to phone. Phone, phone and just phone
Or you suggest what else is the best time pass? Watching TV? NO! reading newspaper, uh so boring! The same news if read on S3, wow what a charm :laugh:
If they are missing lot of important things in life, so what! they have S3 weapon in their hand, no body can beat them.
So proud of you the XDA army, keep it up :good:
I will say this from what I have noticed and I noticed it back when Honeycomb was coming out. Everyone said "Oh Honeycomb is where it is, it's so nice and smooth and the UI is beautiful screw GB" then when ICS came out it was "HC is laggy and sucks, ICS is the sh*T and is so fast and smooth, it's what HC should have been" etc.... Now that JB is out you hear a lot of the same about ICS as you did about HC when ICS came out. It's just an observation and find it kinda funny

Well thats a good thing if you think about it, that means each new release is better than the previous one.
Also HC never really received great praises, it is the least version of android talked about ( also cause it was tablets but apparently wasn't that great).

There are hundreds of new tweaks and many new features are being introduced in every new android updates. Just Google don't advertise them like other phone manufacturers . If android gets stuck with Jb and no other future updates, then the whole android modding community will be clueless about what to do next.

This is inevitable. In a week's time, Google is going to release a new version of Android to compete with iOS 6. The million dollar question is: will the old and already underpowered back when it was launched Nexus S get an OFFICIAL update to Jelly Bean? I seriously doubt it. But there is hope. If it is a speed booster rather than a entirely new design and power hungry features, I think the Nexus S might get lucky. What do you guys think? Fingers crossed.

new os means a new nexus phone, so i doubt a new os is coming .. just a minor update if anything
Performance issues? I doubt it. Features don't necessarily mean slower though, better with ICSs built in data limiter/tracker than a 3rd party app for example. Depends on what they add though, of course.
Small chance we'll get it though. I'm leaning towards a fat no if it's released beyond August or so, before that and we may have a chance. Either way, we'll have rock solid ports within weeks, just like ICS. It amazed me how stable initial ports of ICS were before it was released officially, it was my daily driver (i believe i used eugenes). I have (blind?) faith in the same thing when JB is released.

I am 100% confident that there will be minimum visual changes. The dev team spend so much effort into making a guideline for Android app designs, they are most certainly not gonna ditch that. So that leaves us with one other major change Google can bring to the platform: speed improvements. Both app speeds and overall smoothness. If you check Google io app and the schedules in there, one of them is all about app smoothness and maintaining a constant frame rate. I am hoping that third party apps will be as smooth as the iOS counter parts within a few releases. But back to what this thread is about: I think NS is highly likely to get this update, since it runs ICS okay, but not as fast as some desired, (multi-tasking). So this update should be like froyo, not much visual, lots of under the hood changes, if NS can run ics, it can run jb.
oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S!
I think it depends on how big the step in version-numbers will be. 4.1 - we'll get it. 5.0 - nope.
Jelly Bean has always been rumored to be 5.0, but latest news have it to be 4.1. (Benchmark logs of an upcoming android tablet)
Remember the nexus one - it started with 2.1 and went all the way to an official 2.3.6.

Think about it: it might be a new interface/design for a tablet, Android really need something solid if they want any chance of fighting iOS and windows RT.

Considering that it seems like RAM usage is going relatively well within ICS, i can't see any worry about that there. 1GB would've helped in any situation, not just moving toward JB which likely wouldn't make a difference. That's the main thing that could have held the NS back. I'm with you unless IO implies anything otherwise. I'm thinking alot more will have to do with dual and quad core setups than our NSs single, particularly with the idea of constant framerates in mind. I see how there isn't that much left to do in the same environment and considering how much effort was put into ICS little will change that's not well below what we see happening, and most of that relates directly to performance and basically making the UI smoother, prettier and maybe a touch more colourful.

I think that if it's more bloated and non-optimized, even less handsets could possibly get it then ICS. So I'm more positive NS will get it
Seeing as ICS was meant to be a unification of tablet/smartphone OS, I don't think they would release another tablet exclusive OS to tear that unity apart again. Also, if we're learning from the past here, the Nexus One got two updates before losing support so Jelly Bean should be the final update for the Nexus S.
Also, since ICS was a major interface revamp, I think Jelly Bean's gonna be focusing on other parts so really, Nexus S does not have any reason not to be able to support it. We'll see though
Have you seen this?
http://phandroid.com/2012/06/20/did-we-just-get-a-sneak-peak-at-jelly-bean-in-google-io-screenshot/#
Seems that the new version will be like froyo / GB transition, more improvement, better visuals. Maybe our devices will get the update.
Yea I'd be happy with a few extra features like magel but the main thing for me is probably just speed and making things look a little nicer ..
I hope they call it 4.1 if it's a smallish update though otherwise will have the same issues iOS six had in that really is like 5.5

"all the way" is stretching it though. We got from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4. Much better than the Nexus One in that respect.
Nothing has been set in stone. We won't know until Google says something. I posted those 2 links to show that JB looks to be a minor upgrade from 4.0.4>4.1. I think if this is the case, there's a chance we'd get it. Remember the N1 went from 2.1>2.2>2.3. 4.0 was a major change, which was the need for the first number in the version to change. Just my .02

Agree with you here. Minor updates are usually pushed, major ones aren't necessarily. I think the only reason the Nexus S got ICS is that there would have been an outcry if we didn't. Seriously, a Google phone with absolutely no upgrade? That would have been ridiculous.
Mod Edit - this is now where all JB discussions will be directed.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

I think a complete port of ICS would be usefull before start porting JB. some features of JB as the new keyboard and google now should be rather easy to implement into ICS, too, while others like vsync and tripple buffering will be way more work to do.
Jellybean won't have flash also it doesn't come out in 2 months. If you want it then pre order the nexus 7 a really damn cheap tablet which is quad core with jellybean with 1 month exclusivity.

It has been years since GB has been launched but still CM7 port is in progress. You got your answer.
Yeah, I totally agree. It would be probably better to finish ICS first and then start to port JB. I think, that JB isnt necessary because it doesnt have many new features and it would take a long time until it would be a fully usable ROM.

I tried Jelly Bean on the Nexus and I thought it was a huge improvement over-all, enough for me to wanting to get the Nexus if it wasn't for the S3 purchase I recently made. The Siri like thing also works so much better than the Samsung's stupid S-Voice which hardly works.
The performance is hugely noticeable too.

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this so feel free to move it to the correct place if wrong.
I have a Galaxy S3 I9300T and have been using various Roms since I got the phone. In that time I have come to really like the Galaxy Nexus Vanilla Jelly Bean over the Touchwiz loader and am hoping that we will be able to get the full Jellybean experience without Touchwiz.
Will they still try and improve the Vanilla 4.1.1 or will they only concentrate on the Touchwiz version of jelly bean when it is released officially?
I have used the latest leak from the 28/8/12 I9300XXDLH8 (4.1.1) and I have found how much the Vanilla Jelly Bean is better for me. Is there anything that is stopping a 100% functional version of Jelly Bean (Same as the Galaxy Nexus) running on the Galaxy S3 or will it be only variations of the Touchwiz version?
There are only really little issues with the Vanilla ROM on the Galaxy S3 (Such as the memory leak, wifi tethering and the camera being part broken) so I am hoping these can be fixed as I really enjoy the OS the way it was supposed to be.
In that regard what is the best ROM at the moment that is using vanilla Jelly Bean?
Thanks
Matt
"what is the best rom" threads are usually thrashed here so good luck. There is no best ROM mate, try all AOSP/CM/AOKP roms and see which is better for you

Touchwiz is a modified version of Jellybean Android 4.1..Nexus JB which you are talking about is pure undiluted version of Android 4.1..hence it will be impossible to merge the 2..you can get a few features ported from one to another but a not good, stable hybrid as both of them use different framework..so either use CM10 or TW or a customized version of either of the 2...
Hope it clarifies...
Also I cannot comment on the best ROM as it is banned..try them out for yourself..read the OP and choose the one you like..
If u want the vanilla look and feel, get cyanogen mod 9 for a stable rom and 10 for that jelly bean feel but still in nightlies stages.
With the update coming, we are all subject to getting touchwhiz as samsung as spent many hours tweaking it. I like it once I got use to it but everyone has opinions and thats why we love Android

Samsung will only release touchwiz'd version of JB. Honsetly IMO TW is a lot better than boring blue, black and white if you are just worried about looks

It is not so much the looks I really hate the Messaging App and the Dialer in Touchwiz and prefer the Jellybean version of it. I have seen that you can get the Android 4.1 Messaging App of the Play Store but I have not been able to get the dialer & contacts from the Jellybean Rom which I guess is the biggest part of what I want it for.
Those few changes and I believe I would be really happy with the Touchwiz version.

I think Foxhound has the standard JB messaging and dialer
If your looking for a good non TW JB rom, I'd recommend Revolution Remix

Thanks for the tip, it has the dialer I like coupled with the SMS/MMS App from Jelly Bean. I appreciate being pointed in the right direction!
It amazes me how No Android phone maker will listen to its customers and make an option to install vanilla android.
If someone bought Samsung Hardware and sold it as Vanilla they would make a fortune.
As usual big business knows better than its customers

Does the stock JB dialer have prediction? Like if I type in a person's name, it will show their number?

Nexus is vanilla android. But people keep thinking Nexus phone is Google phone, not Samsung. This is something OEM doesn't want it to happen on their flagship phones.

About about 2 weeks in running gnex (gummy.. now) but yes stock rom on Galaxy Nexus (gsm) is fluid if rooted correctly, by one click method... After all done you first root don't do nothing but back it up
Stuck on Gummy... ...
Android 4.2 "Key Lime Pie" is already in testphase
The new Android version will not be 5.0, it will be 4.2. This version is to be tested, according to server logs already.
The associated device is, according to the sources already leaked. Androidandme believed that it is a variant of the Nexus LG Optimus G.
On the market, the Android 4.2 mobile phone would come before November.

This isn't news, it's been mentioned by a few people now.
Edit: considering jb hasn't rolled out worldwide, I can only imagine when we will get this on our phones.

because its not jelly bean! its Key Lime Pie .. i changed the title because i did a mistake
I was kinda hoping for 4.1 in the UK before we started getting excited about the next version...
Still waiting for jellybean that's suppose to be rolling out
If it really does release around November along with a new Nexus device, I'm ditching my S3.
Let me taste that jelly bean for a minute first. I wish there was some kinda youtube on KLP..wanna see what it does differently than jelly bean.

TBH i'm getting a bit fed up with this.
Google need to get everyone on the platform 4.1 and then once the 2.3.4 starts to disappear from users moving to newer devices on 4.1 then introduce 4.2 or 5.0 later
IF this is the case i'll be using whatever ROM is available and I wont be busting a gut to move up as it's becoming most tiresome.
I can't understand everyone moaning about not having Jellybean on the SGS3's. I've been running Jellybean on mine for ages.
After all your on xda forums, try taking control of your life's and your smartphones and flash JB yourselves instead on moaning that you have't got it.
It's a 10 minute job that anyone can do. Simple.
End of rant.

It's not Google's fault cause the OEMS take months to apply theyre custom skins, or that the carriers delay the updates for no apparent reason. They are the ones which have to accelerate this process!
Google needs to innovate, to polish things, to make Android truly the best and most complete mobile operating system. (now that everyone has a smartphone and/or a tablet and the competition is higher than ever)
//If I remember correctly at the Conference where JB was released Google said that they will share the new code with the OEMs months before the announcement of a new version of Android so that they could be prepared with the updates.
From experience
4.2 will not be developed by Uncle Sammy for sgs3 rather it will need to be ported. And by the time google have a stable release of 4.2, Sammy will just about fine tweaked JB in around 4-6 months time.
Edit
Maybe 2-3 months if we are lucky

It's not always the case. I read an article recently about the previous models getting jelly bean, like the tab 7 plus and 7.7. So they got upgraded twice from hc to jb. So it's possible we might be able to taste key lime pie but we'll have to wait again as always. Or just flash like crazy.

Why does this even bother you? So you can tell your ios friends that 67% are Now on Jellybean? Who the f cares? The people who give a crap about the latest updates know how to use google and can get then easily.
If you want to sit on stock and stew then fine, but stop crying when there's loads of alternatives.
If it's version 4.2 then it'll look like JB and ICS. Although I hate the AOSP look I'll try it.

You suggest that Google should stop improving upon Android and developing newer versions with innovative new features that keeps Android cutting edge and good competition, and instead focus on coding for SAMSUNG, LG HTC and so forth?
What a fantastic idea! I can hardly believe they haven't thought about this.
Im just curious how different it is from JB. I was thinking of flashing and rooting..but this time ima roll stock. I did the rooting cyanogenmod 7 thing with my old GT5830 (galaxy ace). But then again if the new Nexus has KLP..knowing me..ima wait til i see it..then flash it to this phone..Man XDA is a lifesaver

This is kind of a dream. Google Android is like a base for a soup. Samsung, HTC, etc.. are adding their own recipee to the mix and this is what is ruining the whole thing. Pure Google Nexus is much more beautiful and smooth and trouble free than the ugly Samsung UI.
4.2? Meh..
I will be more interested in 5.0 which I believe we will see a huge difference.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
well if if next nexus devices really release 4.2 I wonder galaxy s2 getting or not
since should be not much different
