Toooo long. lol

Oh don't get in a hurry. They completed a feat of epic proportions to launch this with JB. Rest assured they will rest on their laurels and update 4.2 when they feel like it. I predict 8+ months after the official US launch, sadly.

I'm actually fine with JB, I could care less with multiple accounts as the only time someone else will be using my phone is for a game or a phone call. JB w/ Proj Butter is all I need

Yeah, that's what I had read too. It's called project roadrunner.
It will be interesting to see how much more it improves the already stellar battery life of the note 2. That is if the rumors are even true.

Actually the Project RoadRunner thingy was a hoax the author of the article later backtracked and apologised for not doing a thorough check with his sources and being unproffesional.

EVEN if the rumor was true about 4.2 having much better battery life. It'll matter more to that HTC 1080p device than the Note 2, considering how good the battery life is on the Note 2 -and- the fact that it's removable.

I like it- hopefully it can be implemented smoothly in AOSP roms. I'd assume they'll make a version that will work with Evo's normal GTalk anyway though, since it's got video chat abilities

A lot of people are scared of android, and most of them come from iPhones that just "work" and never had to to anything. Also, those same people just want the phone to make calls, or from the time, use flash.

Can. Not. Wait. To have the NS4G, I want to be on the first wave of Google updates. Screw waiting around for ROM XX.XX to integrate it.

This is awesome how Samsung is getting all buddy-buddy with the community. Only going to make their phones that much better. I do wonder how much or what exactly he will be doing there, though.
I can see it now, Samsung Custom ROM portal.
Take your unlocked phone and install our official Custom ROMS do not void warranty!
LOL @ guys saying CM is gonna leak out the sources for Sam-phones

its against their contract and yeah... they'd suspect him first.

No. iOS and Android operate in a whole different way. iOS is also restricted for the hardware it's made for. iOS is also crap.
The closest to iOS you can come on android, however, would be MIUI.
Why the hell would anyone want that archaic POS on our awesome phone? Even if it was possible why would anyone want to????
if you want iOS then do what anyone else would do and buy an iPhone and become one of the many iSheep of the world (isn't it time they were culled anyway?)
Why would you want to do that? not 1 aspect of iOS is open source.
