I9300XXDLG4 (4.1.1) - Improvements & Changes

Hi Guys
lets post the changes and improvements of the leaked JB firmware here...
many people are curious but at the thread of the leaked firmware its more info how to flash and keep root
so lets do it:good:

So far it's not working out too good for me.
1. Contacts keeps stopping.
2. Touchwiz keeps stopping.

I tried that too. Just gonna go back to ICS until there is a no-wipe official version.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30290997&postcount=159

noticed some changes, 4.0.4 ics to 4.1 jelly bean.

have samsung added the new widget features?

So far:
-Flashed, no brick.
-Not that smooth. Scrolling through contacts is jittery (actually the whole phone/contacts app is). Notification bar is too. Animations also jittery (even with GPU rendering)
-Can't comment on battery life, only had it on for 10 minutes.
-No significant changed, only slightly different notification bar, and some more settings in settings.
-Google Now is present, and use also the default 2-press home app.
-Camera is the same, not JB style where it's linked to gallery.
-Increases your flash counter
-Triangle Away is confirmed working by chainfire.

Viber is not support or it does not work on this update

It sucks that they didn't update the camera.

Camera has been improved, try taking pics in landscape mode supah sharp and tasty crispy

from what part of my post was i crying you idiom?
i was just asking the guy who already flashed jb and said the camera improved.
i just wanted to ask what the camera fw is now because the mexican dude wasn't able to show much and the posts of other people in jb thread all had contact fc topics.
that way if the camera fw was updated too then that is one of the reason why camera pics have improved like that poster said.

@idiom, well there you go. i respectfully asked this guy and he replied.
@jody, thanks.
:victory:

Don't start bashing something that is unofficial and is in beta stage.
Remember that this is a leaked test-only ROM, and not the final product. Officially, you aren't even supposed to be using this ROM.
There's no way for us to know what parts of that ROM is still under development or what is final; what has been been ported to JB or what has been kept from ICS so it can barely work.
So, stop being naive and saying that "this and that don't work". Of course it doesn't, otherwise Samsung would've made it an official release.
Besides, this ROM was supposedly built on July 31st, so it's 16 days old. A lot might have been changed already in the ROM Samsung has under development. Not only that, but we're still 13 days away from the supposedly planned date.
I will risk a guess here, that JB won't be available on Aug. 29th: Samsung has NEVER met a deadline before, at least one that's been annouced publicly.

Actually then Samsung has no worries. Samsung has NEVER announced the 29th of Aug. as the date of release for jb for sgs3. This is a date made up of speculation, but for some reason all the n00bs now think that because they heard it on the INTERNEZZZ then that date is official.
Prove me wrong and show me where ANY official Samsung source says Aug. 29th or even any date at all......
Sorry but Sammobile is not official. Nothing but some random dude with a website posting firmwares so not official.
Random mobile phone internet sites is for sure not a reliable source and never has been. I've always said. If you heard it from a internet site then you can be sure it's not true when it comes to rumours. They will grab any chance and will say anything and grab any rumour and make an article about it just to get visiters to their sites.
But it looks like it's getting worse and worse with the "I heard on the Internezz that this and that" so it must be true.........Only thing we can be sure of is...... IQ dropped rapidly in the past few years among mobile phone users........

Samsung Galaxy Note II (Qucik Hands-On)

Hi guys! I've managed to grab a Note II at the Unpacked event in Berlin. In the following video I've tried out the Camera which works like on the SIII (it has the zero shutter lag function), browsed the gallery, and tested the new hovering pen function which is really cool! Enjoy! I can upload some pictures too!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86YigW9TWdU&feature=player_embedded

Hmm, the Samsung Galaxy Note II seems really amazing, one of my friend also get this phone, and really like it.

I'm eagerly waiting to get one soon, so i can test it...

I sure would like to get my hands on the first US Quad core. Anyone know if Sprint will get it?

I dunno... release date in europe is October...

Samsung post on facebook

So does Samsung post on facebook from 4 hours ago mean anything or just more hype? Basically implies that we have gotten "Premium Suite " and jb, which we know we haven't. so is launch imminent?

not yet

Found it. I swear it wasn't there when I looked this morning. Anyway, it says:
"GALAXY Note 10.1 gets Premium Suite update. Packs enhanced multitasking, new S Pen-optimized features and Android Jelly Bean."
with a link to the Premium Suite video and that's it.
So, it's not really anything new.

that's why I just ordered a Nexus 10

I'm switching from the nexus 10 to the note. Its funny how people always see other devices better than their own. I would stick with the note if you ever use the spen. The lack of a a good stylus is killing me with the nexus. I'm selling mine today.

Honestly? Look - I'm not a big Samsung fan - they definitely have some seriously wonky business practices - moreso since I'm in Canada and they can't get their act together up here and decide if we're their favourite country or we're just a joke... and no one carries accessories for their products up here anyway - but here's the thing...
I own a ton of Samsung computer products because as much as it annoys me these two facts keep drawing me back...
1. They may be annoying - but the only real alternative left is Apple.
2. They are the ONLY company that makes damn near *exactly* what I want. Apple doesn't. Asus gets close - but then keeps blowing it. Microsoft.. please. Acer - how is life in 2008?
Samsung is the new Sony. They're Apple with a sense of weirdness that makes their products interesting instead of always being about fash and status.
So, like I said elsewhere - I may not like them much - but there really isn't anything better to jump to.

" Microsoft.. please. Acer - how is life in 2008?"
Very funny!
All true, and exactly how I feel re: other manufacturers. Others get close, sometimes, but never quite there.
And to the poster who is going to return his Note for a Nexus because JB hasn't arrived yet - go get a life. Borrow one, steal one, heck buy one. Seriously. Get a little perspective.

Lol I don't know why you're acting like they've done something wrong to you. In there announcements they said the Note 10.1 will get Jelly Bean in Q4, So unless it's January 2013 there is no point wasting your time getting frustrated.
If I was you I would look at the Nexus 10 forums first lol, all they are doing is saying maybe we should return it and get a Note 10.1.
I'm seeing a lot of this "the grass looks greener on the other side"
Anyway my Nexus 10 comes next week :fingers-crossed:

Less drivel ftw!
Most of us made it this long... Besides, this works fine as is i can wait.

I'll bet that JB will not be out for all regions by the end of the year.

I've asked Samsung that many times for a definitive answer but they are like politicians; they can never provide a direct answer.

I returned my Nexus 10 as I'm happier with the Note 10.1. Also, much happier with the new Note II addition compared to Nexus 10 especially since it has JB to tide me over until it comes to Note 10.1. Once you go Note it's hard to go back to a consumption only tablet.

Seriously, if you want JB that bad, spend an hour and update to the German release and stop whining.

Why is Samsung taking so long for 4.2

:laugh: just a joke!

agzela said:

If I were them I'd skip it. It's more an incremental than point release and the only substantial feature that it has that 4.1 doesn't is multi-user. Going to 4.3 or 5.0 assuming there's a material difference in features, infrastructure, or functionality makes more sense. Google seems to be updating all their revenue generating apps without tying them to a specific OS version (EG: Google Now) so all their apps should stay current and Samsung can update their’s via Play or Samsung Apps. When you think about it 2>3>4 were huge leaps because Android was so immature. 4.1>4.2>X.X and beyond are likely to be far less earth shattering. Based on user reports, 4.2 had lots of issues with little gain. I'd rather have something stable that works well than something "new" just because it's new.

Yes I hope they skip. Not a fa. Of the newly centered nav keys

Yeah, thats one of the reasons I like the Note 10.1 over the Nexus 10.

4.2 also has a very screwed up Bluetooth stack.. everyone's screaming about it. (Actually, it got screwed up in 4.1.2... uh oh...)

Samsung users their own which is why we have AVRCP 1.3 and AOSP ROMs don't. So we're safe. Kind of sad that OEM's are pushing out more stable s/w than Google. Part of everyone's lust for Nexi is their "pure Google" experience and all the (theoretic) benefits that's supposed to bring.

They kindof screwed up the bluetooth stack. My RAZR has 4.1.2 and it plays media and voice calls well over my ford sync but the MAP isnt pushing my text messages anymore.

All devices have 4.1 now. You do not need one for your country, take any 4.1 for your device and simply choose your language at setup, change the standard keyboard language in the settings and all is like in your own country version.

I think that when Nexus devices come out, they get the latest Android version (4.2 here) and they have an exclusive on it for some time. Yes multiuser is nice, but I do not need it.

NEW VZW MOTO X SOAK TEST! POSSIBLE Kit Kat 4.4!

I just got an email from motorola for a new soak test for the VZW Moto X, is this 4.4!? Did anyone else get this?

Man, the first rule of soak test is dont talk about it. Watch out, you maybe be cut off now.

Weren't they the first with 4.3 for the Galaxy s4? That's all I'm basing my remark for. I could be wrong though. But hey, maybe they are turning things around haha

Got my invite for the soak test as well. Don't think mentioning it here will raise a red flag with Moto as I chimed in on the last soak test here and some other site and didn't get kicked out of it. Now if I divulged anything from said soak test, I'm sure that would be a different story. Bring on the KitKat!!

while i mostly agree with your opinion (i mean i don't think verizon has ever released a new FW before another carrier ever in their existence), what could they be updating. just bug fixes on their end? Since moto never did a 4.3 FW for the moto x it couldn't be that. What is really scary is, if it isn't 4.4, then they may be expecting not to do a 4.4 for another few months. wouldn't make much since to fix bug issues in 4.2.2 if they have already or are about to begin fixing things for a 4.4 update...

If Verizon lands 4.4 before the new year, I will be very surprised. Their track record, while it does have a few anomalies, is awful.

Just speculating but knowing big red it's probably not even a version bump lol... BUT it may be 4.4 since it seems that Motorola is taking a very hands on approach to the updates on the X.

I so hope you're right. Would be a great to see VZW get it before anyone else for a change. Not holding my breath, but maybe then we can also use tap to pay with google wallet. Already got my phone unrooted and back to stock recovery (only mods i used) so i won't have any issues with the update.

Just trust me guys. It'll be kitkat.
