Android 4.1 - Jelly Bean

Looks like the launch of Jelly Bean is around the corner, coming to Galaxy Nexus shortly, read this: http://www.androidcentral.com/android-41-jelly-bean-outed-google-play-store-listing-coming-soon-galaxy-nexus
If this is the case, I think it is reasonable to assume the upcoming Asus Nexus 7 tablet will be launched with Jelly Bean as well. With an Asus tablet being the first with Jelly Bean, I can't see the transformer family being that far behind. Pretty psyched, good chance we could have Jelly bean in month or two!
EDIT: New development, Nexus 7 tablet details leak online here http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/06/this-is-googles-new-nexus-tablet-the-nexus-7/ The Nexus 7 will run Jelly Bean and will hit Australia (Australian leak) in July with 8gb version at US$199 and 16gb version US$249.
How about Jelly Bean for our device by the end of August .

I wonder what's new in it. Probably not a huge update but still must be big.

Pretty much this.
I guess bug fixes, security updates, better battery life, all the standard stuff. Wonder if anything will be a major update.

Better battery life would be great. I have having to keep 4g off most the time on my Gnex.

Hopefully some good stuff will come out at Google I/O

That would be cool iam looking forward to jellybean. It will be a while before the transformers get it..

I'm fairly confident that like with ICS it'll be ported very quickly, lots of TF users around

Odd I've never had turn disable LTE on my RAZR MAXX.
On a more serious note except for whichever 2.x version introduced the dalvik cache I can't recall any major OMG I needed this feature added. Each update was progressively better but nothing like Gingerbread to ICS.

I think that the updating will not come before the end of the year
Processors are differents, even if it's Tegra 3 belongs.
There is a Kai version (ASUS Google 7) and a version Kal-El (Prime- TF300T - Infinity HD)
I hope to make a mistake about the updatings

I am looking forward to this, and the logic seems pretty good that we will get it fairly quickly after release.
Things i am expecting from google IO
various bug fixes and increase performance/stability increases
offline maps
new 3d views of cities in Maps
a siri like application (hopefully with even more functionality)
what i would love
i know it is minor, but would love some new wallpapers (current ones are ugly IMO)
ability to add buttons to nav bar
search button in notification "dropdown/ pull up"
HD contact picture syncing support
some new camera features
maybe some browser enhancements (make it as fast/smooth at chrome but keeping the look and functionality of the stock browser (quick controls, FLASH))

Yes, but your logic has the assumption that Asus worked in a bubble developing the Nexus Tablet. I wouldn't be surprised if parallel work was be being done on integrating Jelly Bean with other tablets for updates . This is all speculation at this point and only time will tell.

Indeed, it's just some speculations. I'm not sure of that.
But Asus is one of the few manufacturers to properly follow the updates of its devices
That's why I spoke about this long time. It's really nice, if it's short

Well I think you have a much better battery than the Nexus.

OP updated with key new development.

Asus USA, Netherlands suggest TF101 Jelly Bean undecided; Asus Germany disagrees

Update: different branches of Asus are directly contradicting each other about whether we'll get an update. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28840181 for the first example. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29269146 for yet another contradiction.
Title says it all, really. Asus Europe has confirmed at a press event that Jelly Bean will be released for the Prime, the TF300, and the TF700T, but TF101 and Slider users will be left out in the cold.
Rough translation:
"Sam from Tablets Magazine was present at the press conference, and ASUS confirmed that not all of its tablets can expect an update to the newest version of Android. The Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201, the Transformer Pad TF300 and the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 are certain to receive Android 4.1 Jellybean.
The previously launched models, the Eee Pad Transformer TF101 and the Eee Pad Slider, are not expected to be updated, and will remain on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich."
http://www.tabletsmagazine.nl/2012/...finity-krijgen-android-4-1-jelly-bean-update/

Some if not most of the developers here at XDA who program for the tf101 do a better job than the officials over at ASUS. I have faith in our developers and will support them fully to release any form of Jelly Bean for our beloved tablet.

Read the same news but have not seen it confirmed on other sites. Anyone? The source article says "Earlier launched models, such as the Eee Pad Transformer TF101 and the Eee Pad Slider, won't have to expect an update". They're not literally saying it will "NOT" come to the TF101. Just that it's not expected. So, it's still possible. And isn't Asus supposed to support their Android OS devices 18 months and should comply to Google regulations?
Furthermore, what grauntparty says: our respected XDA devs have done a far better job on ICS than Asus did. In fact, Asus is somehow obliged to grant us TF101 users a JB update. Especially the unlucky ones on stock rom. If you read this Asus, you know what to do... This upgrade cannot be that hard for you, even my old Defy is now running a CM10 JB nigthly already. If not, In Dev We Trust but your brand won't appear on my next shopping list.
OT/
A propos, Motorola, another fine example of customer loyalty. Defy got stuck on Froyo with a locked bootloader, which they promised to remove in 2011. Never heard anything ever since. And now thanks to xda devs it has JB. Oh, as much as I love my precious Defy I HATE Moto.

If this is true, it'll be my last ASUS Android purchase. Halting support for new versions after only a year?!

in devs we trust, all glory to xda!!!!

I know, you don't want to believe it, but that's clutching at straws. (Google-translated straws, at that.)
Asus has told them which products are and aren't getting updates. They've reported that. The only way we'll get an update from Asus now is if they change their mind, which is pretty darned unlikely.
I'm sure we'll get an excuse at some point that the TF101 and Slider "aren't capable" of running JB, which we all know is complete nonsense.
The real reason we're not getting the update? Because we're Tegra 2, which is no longer the current generation. Hence it costs money to make the update; they can't simply repurpose an update for another device. (Devices getting the update are all Tegra 3; devices not getting it are all Tegra 2.)
If you ask me, it's likely why the ICS update we got is so rubbish, as well. We got a half-assed bodged variant of Tegra 3 ICS, rather than a proper Tegra 2 build. So frankly, it's good news that we're not getting official JB, because we'd just have gotten another half-assed build if they'd shipped one, anyway.

Fair enough, apologies for the misunderstanding, I don't often look at people's flags. Should've noticed that, though.
That said, even with your translation, you're still clutching at straws. Why would Asus tell them it wasn't coming, unless they'd decided it wasn't coming?

Transformer TF101 was launched on March 30, 2011. Adding 18 months, we should be hoping for software updates until October 2012.
That would give Asus 2.5 more months to support the device with updates. I'd personally expect perhaps 1 more ICS update but given Asus track record on updates I don't expect JB anymore. It takes them a couple (or more) of updates to get it somewhat stable and that would take more months.

WHAT its been 3 months since I bought this tablet FUC# you Asus "In XDA I TRUST"

Try getting yourself a Samsung Tablet then and see what real under valued customers have to go through. Asus have been way more reasonable with updates for the TF. I can understand the frustration but there are worse out there. Org Gtab (some) are still on Froyo, then the 1st gen larger tabs (some) are still on HC.....then the Tab2 rolled out within months of those.
Maybe the problem is just the whole Android system in itself......too many cooks and all that.
Maybe Google will have to ditch some of the manufacturers from the scene.
Or maybe the manufacturers that use Android just need to stop arseing around with it and all the fancy schmancy extra things they do with the O.S and leave it as close to the Google image as possible.
Or they should just pay our devs a good some of money to fix what they have came up with and let them show the way it should be done.
Who knows.
As much as i like how the whole android set up works for me, i have to be honest and say i now understand why and how Ipads etc are so appealing to some. Its a lot of money to spend on something that "sometimes" works the way it should.
I would jailbreak any "i"device so i dont think its a case of you shouldnt have to rely on our fantastic hard working devs to make something better......its just the way it is.
Go devs! We salute you! nuff respect :good: (look forward to some well made JB)

Well, no JellyBean crap from asus for you this time.
But as of aosp, I am making progress.
I love my TF101, even though our relationship is complex atm as we have to communicate through adb, as the touchscreen drivers aren't fixed as of now.
But JellyBean works. Just a little more effort for the first test releases.
I even get full support from my old friend guevor and maybe also from Team Liquid for Rom debugging.
Nuff said, asus.

I'd be surprised by the opposite: the Xoom is on the "officially supported" list and it's almost identical (hardware-wise) to the TF101, so Jelly Bean has to work on our devices.

A more open Asus, with a beta test programme for technical users* would instantly do two things.
1) result in Asus shooting to the top of the cool list for tinker-types.
2) result in a more stable end product for non-technical types, with more bugs out of the system prior to OTA update.
*technical users being those that meet a minimum criteria of producing accurate and technical bug reports and not just "it doesn't work waaaaaaahhaaaaa".
If Asus doesn't do this, it's only a matter of time before someone else does it and takes the crown.

There seems to be some debate whether "Asus Transformer Pad" means only the TF300 or the TF300 and TF101. Either way, I would guess the TF101 will get stock JB considering the issues some people still have with ICS.

Asus now calls our TF101s the Eee Pad Transformer and the TF300 the Transformer Pad. Subtle, I know, but enough to give them an out if they feel the need. It sounded to me like a for sure for Tegra 3 and we don't know yet for Tegra 2. It's already been proven to run great on Tegra 2 so there is really no excuse to withhold it from us. I'll probably run a custom ROM anyway so it really won't matter to me. It might be nice though to get some of the Asus parts for custom ROMs where they and nVidia should know the hardware and it's secrets better than we do.

nah, we will have to trust in devs from now on, Asus wont give us JB

Jelly Bean for TF101 Confirmed

Update: Asus Germany denies that their colleagues from the Netherlands have made such a statement about TF101/SL101, adding that they only confirmed Android 4.1 upgrade for TF201/TF300/TF700 tablets and that it is just pure speculation. According to their current information TF101 and SL101 users will enjoy Android 4.1 upgrade too. Here’s the whole statement made by Asus Germany on their Facebook page.

Yeah he's used Jelly Bean... he has a Galaxy Nexus and so do I but I totally disagree with player911.
Jelly Bean is more of a 'behind the scenes' optimized version of Android. Project Butter is HUGE, although it may not look like so but the overall responsiveness of Android OS is SUPERB and I have a feeling that this is just the beginning. When comparing ICS to JB, it is absolutely night and day difference.
Can't wait for a finalized ROM with all the features we love in a bug free ROM

i installed team eos jb rom. while it does much smoother then ics, it's not stutter free. low frame rate occurred when you happened to run active running process in the background. but it is huge improvement compared to ics. now with live wallpaper, sliding between home screen is still very smooth.

I was just getting ready to post that also as I just saw it on FB. Glad the Tegra 3 devices are getting it. I hope they decide to bring it to the Tegra 2 devices also, since I own one of them. If not, then I'll wait for the devs and custom JB roms.

I don't have a transformer, but I'll second that. "Project butter" makes it sound gimmicky, but It really is a significant difference.

I installed the Cyangenmod 10.0 Preview yesterday and was very surprised by how smooth it was already. I am yet to have a FC on the rom, not to say one will not come.

Last time I checked, no one from ASUS said the TF101 won't get a JB update. I prefer them not to, judging from the terrible job they did with the ICS update. Already a lot of JB custom roms can be found in development so we won't need ASUS at all.

Dear valued ASUS customer,
At ASUS, one of the key commitments we make to our customers is a relentless drive to deliver the best user experience. We constantly strive to achieve this goal through our ‘Design Thinking’ philosophy that includes regular software and firmware updates for our products.
We are pleased to announce that many of our tablet products are scheduled to receive an update to Android 4.1, Jelly Bean. The ASUS Transformer Pad, ASUS Transformer Pad Prime and ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity are all scheduled to receive Android 4.1 updates in the coming months. We will provide further guidance on our expected timeframes for these updates near their release.
We are still investigating Jelly Bean updates for other devices, but we are not in a position to confirm whether any other products will be eligible for an update at the moment.
Thank you for your continued support.​

The ASUS Transformer Pad is the TF300 model series, not TF101. So according to that post, they are still investigating a possible update to TF101.

Last time I checked, no one from ASUS said the TF101 won't get a JB update. I prefer them not to, judging from the terrible job they did with the ICS update. Already a lot of JB custom roms can be found in development so we won't need ASUS at all.

You are right, they have not specifically said that there is no update for it and I really don't care for one. I, along with many others, have had a terrible experience with ICS from ASUS and have been running ROM's for awhile now. I am already rocking JB and have a stable build. I am done with ASUS.

signed.

I would prefer a petition that demands the release of all drivers and everything else needed to make roms on our own.

just signed... maybe people with facebook accounts (i dont have one) can post a link to this petition on an ASUS facebook wall to encourage other people to sign.

I'm sorry but do you really care so much about 'official' JB? We have everything we need to make it work from AOSP, there's only a few minor problems that are definitely fixable, and I'm pretty sure we'll fix those sooner than ASUS releases an update. Most ASUS bloat works on AOSP without problems, and feature wise their ROM is only different in toggles and touchpad settings, both of which are very possible. So can someone explain why would they want OFFICIALZ STUFFZ?

Some people wish to remain "stock", which is understandable. Installing a ROM can be intimidating if they've never done it before.

funny how the xoom got the update today. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407757,00.asp but the TF101 looks like it will night. For the first time i regret Buy the 32mb tf101 in dec of 2011 after i drop my TF101 16mb and it broke. should went with another company. Asus update to date have been a joke. and know they end support for tf101

And which company would you have gone to? Asus has been supplying updates quite consistently. I wonder what more you would want.
Xoom (wifi only) might have a Jelly Bean update already, but Xoom owners are complaining left and right about the poor quality of this update.

An official update from AUSUS would increase the chance of also getting updater drivers, e.g. NVidia drivers etc.
Also an official build from AUSUS would have everything up and running (if yet possibly still with a few bugs, but lets hope not).

We already have updated drivers from the Xoom OTA. They need some kernel changes but it'll be easy when kernel source drops for Xoom.
