Aparently a list of devices that will recieve 4.2.2 has just been leaked and Galaxy S2 is among them. Hurray!!
You can take a look at the list here: http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/18...roid-5-0-for-the-galaxy-s-iii-galaxy-note-ii/
*** EDIT ***
So guys, with the announcement of Galaxy S4 all I wanted to see was how Samsung would implement Touchwiz on Android 4.2.2.
I'm probably one of the few around here who actually like Touchwiz, hahahahaha.
So I started watching a bunch of Hands-on videos of Galaxy S4 and noticed a few design changes that pleased me a lot.
1- Configuration screen is now divided into 4 tabs. Much more organized than stock Android.
2- Notification Bar now has the new button from Android 4.2.2 and Samsung used it to show all widgets (wifi, gps, etc).
Five widgets still remain fixed for fast access and I don't know if they can be edited. Probably yes.
3- Lockscreen now has widgets as expected. But I noticed lots of Samsung widgets in there including a player widget for fast access to play/pause, etc.
It seems Samsung loved this new feature and used it really well (better than having CM 10.1 and it's exclusive CLocK widget xD).
4- Status Bar is now transparent. This is something lots of people use to mod here in XDA so all I can think is Samsung is listening to us or at least peaking at XDA sometimes to see what people are doing with their phones. This is actually pretty awesome
5- Lots and lots of new Camera modes! I believe some of them are actually possible to implement for Galaxy S2.
Others like double camera (back and front) might have hardware limitations.
6- Smart Play: a video you are watching will pause if you look away from the screen.
7- Smart Scroll: tilting the device and moving your eyes will scroll a page on the Web or in the Gallery.
Moving your hands in the air to do the same thing is not yet clear if it uses the front camera to recognize the action or one of the new screen sensors.
8- Lots of new apps. S Voice Drive, S Translator, S Choice, New ChatON, etc.
9- Air touch? This will probably never come but it's so cool
Anyway. Let's wait and see if Samsung plans to update Galaxy S2 one final time to give us some of these treats. What do you guys think? Sorry for any English mistakes. I'm writing from my phone. Also don't hesitate to highlight anything about the new Touchwiz I might have missed in this post

Not a chance in hell. Sam is done supporting us. I don't see a reason why they would continue supporting S2. Samsung is a commercial company and they want consumers buy their new products rather than supporting the old products for free.

Besides they have given us support more than any other companies. Do you see another 2 year old phone getting 4.1.2? If you think of it, Samsung is good
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I have a feeling Samsung will surprise us all. 4.2.1 is still Jelly Bean and most probably the last Jelly Bean Google will ever release. So it would be good for Samsung to update its devices to the last Jelly Bean and call it a quit once and for all.
Re: Touchwiz 6 and Android 4.2.1, will we get it?
Many devices less powerful then us will get 4.2.2 like galaxy grand and SII+ then why not the original galaxy SII?

i like how everyones complaining that this phone with its vast amount of support,roms and devs is at its end.
I moved over to here froman Atrix 4g tegra2 phone.
The only tegra 2 device to NOT get ics we had one leak that has many issues and no kernel
its so serious devs are manually uart and jtagging the device and building a kernel from scratch.
And here people are complaing that this phone with its 4.1.2 leaks etc have a phone thats at the ed of its support.
this phone got great support from samsung .

Think about it this way, the SGS2+ is still a brand new phone on the market, and how will people feel who have just purchased it?
Same with the S3 mini which has near identical specs to us, they will have to update it, its only a few months old, and the update isn't exactly a major one.
Samsung's official statement is that they will bring the new features to their 'flagship devices' I know for sure the Note II, SIII and Note 10.1 fall under this category, but I'm not sure what else.
Also, I fail to see how our S2 can't support at least half of the new features.

I consider most of those features mere gimmicks than things that are actually useful. Especially the things that use the camera, that'll probably scoop up a lot of battery life... And the status bar being transparent: if they would make it configurable, that would be a step ahead! If Samsung does bring 4.2 to the S II, that would definitely be a good thing. But like the others said, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Many not hardware related features in the
Samsung Galaxy S 4 are coming to the
Samsung Galaxy S III and S II
The Samsung Galaxy S III is still a top-notch
phone. According to Nick DiCarlo, Samsung's
vice president of portfolio planning, many of
the cool features that are in the Samsung
Galaxy S 4 will find their way to the Samsung
Galaxy S III.
"Anything that we can do that's not
dependent on hardware like infrared, we'll
definitely bring to all the flagship devices,"
DiCarlo said.
And that includes several of the new features
for the camera. Feature like Smart Scroll ,
Smart Pause, S Translator, S Health and the S
Voice Drive, to name just a few, eventually
join the Galaxy S III and perhaps even the
Samsung Galaxy S II as well.

Samsung Italy has reportedly confirmed which of the Korean company’s Android devices will receive an Ice Cream Sandwich update, with models such as the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 each supposedly in line for a 4.0 upgrade. The Italian arm of the firm listed the GSII and the Tab 10.1, HDBlog claims, along with the Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Tab 7.7 and Tab 7.0 Plus as all being eligible for a tasty frozen treat. However, don’t expect it any time soon.
According to the report, the updates won’t begin until Q2 2012, potentially six months after Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus goes on sale. Samsung confirmed to us last night at the kick-off of the Galaxy Note European Tour that the oversized smartphone would get Android 4.0, as reported in our Galaxy Note vs Galaxy Nexus hands-on, but said that, since the company had been working closely with Google on ICS, they expected to beat competitors to the market with upgrades for existing devices.
(Source :http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-android-4-0-ics-updates-in-2012-reportedly-detailed-28191699/)
I hope, we won't have to wait that long...
Waiting 6m+ would be a joke in my opinion - the GS2 is the leading current Android phone in performance and sales, for it to take so long to get 4.0 makes the whole platform seem a bit weak seeing as by then we'll presumably be in the midst of hype building for iphone 5 which would a) have new features ics doesn't have and b) copy anything worthwhile from ics.
I don't believe extended Nexus exclusivity does either Google or Samsung any favours at all...
i don't like to wait.
i read somewhere that it wont get 4.0 until after the galaxy s3 is released.
me too think so. Galaxy S got gingerbread update only after S2 released. So.... I doubt it might be the bad wait more news coming soon...
But anyway v will get it wont v.
Or if v need it faster CM will always be there to help us

For me, is the joysticks support. I have so many usb joysticks, but none of them are working right now on GingerBread.
Initially I heard ICS for S2 coming next year only, thats fine looking at time required to test stability but throwing the it in Q2 is ridiculous!

Won't Samsung have had ics to develop the galaxy nexus? If so wouldn't they have been developing the upgrades for their phones, negotiated as part of the deal to make the nexus phone?
I think galaxy S2 will be the first to receive the update before any other device, firstly Samsung and Google worked extremely closely on some of the software aspects of ICS namely the Camera app and the launcher itself, also the Galaxy nexus share some hardware components with the Galaxy S2.
Also lets face it the Galaxy nexus is underwhelming specs-wise except the Screen of course (Even though it's Pentile).
Don't forget that Samsung also want to sell a LOT of their nexus device and making it the only device in their range to have ics makes complete business sense. They've sold lots of sgs2 already, time for the nexus.
I know it may be a little frustrating for us, but as someone has already said, we'll get it much earlier via a leaked ROM.

Q2 2012? F**k me...
What are people doing with their phones to make them slow and desperately need ICS? Am I missing a free hookers and drugs app?
I agree we will get within weeks of the launch whether it be from Samsung or an AOSP ROM doesn't bother me because the one main gripe I have with AOSP ROM's is the lack of hardware acceleration and the absolutely terrible camera app, Samsung's Touchwiz is hardware accelerated which is why it is so smooth.
It does make perfect business sense to delay ICS for the GS2 but people don't buy the "Google Phone" because of its specifications they buy it because its the "Google Phone" the one advantage of doing this is the quick updates, other than that there are far better devices, the Galaxy Nexus isn't even released yet and its already outclassed by devices such as ours that have been out for over 6 months.
ICS and the screen are the only saving graces of the Galaxy Nexus. needless to say it will still sell extremely well because as I mentioned its the "Google Phone".
EDIT 11th May 2013
May be, just maybe Samsung listenened and JB 4.2.1 is here
It took a year for this to happen, which is not good enough for a premium tablet.
Sadly, I don't have this tablet (or any tablet al all), but I maintain no more Samsung for me at least for now.
I hope those who do, enjoy the enhancred performance that Project Butter brings.

As someone who's on the Verizon 7.7 and still on HC, I'm more than disappointed.
I have a feeling that Samsung looks at sales numbers and sees how many 7.7's there are on the market (not many), and then does a cost-benefit analysis that shows that the cost of having developers put time into 7.7 JB development is a waste of money. And it's really their fault that this thing isn't more ubiquitious since it's a great piece of technology, but for whatever reason, they didn't price it aggressively enough and this is where they ended up.
Hopefully we'll have some decent JB ROMs, but at this point, I'm still waiting for ICS.
All we can do it put our disappointment into action - make your next tablet a Nexus, 3G/4G be damned.
I'm on Verizon, too. There should always be a provision to install a stock Android version so if the Touch-wiz modidifcations stop coming at least one could try to update to next Android.
I am perfectly happy with ICS on my Tab. I only count on one upgrade per device. That is alll I have ever gotten on my Samsung and Motorola devices.
We should make our voice heard, because there is no reason for our tab to miss this update.

I use my tab 7.7 with and without WiFi every day without problem ranging EDGE to H+ in reception, not sure about how the modem/baseband fairs in other countries but here in sweden with both Telia Sonera and Comviq/Tele2 it works well.
No lag for me (except with certain thrid party widgets sometimes), been testing a couple of JellyBean ROMS on it and tbh it doesnt make my 7.7 fly or print money or anything like that so i dont really see why, appart from the looks, anyone NEEDS JB except the fact that it looks cooler and that everyone think they need the latest and the greatest for their device... just to let 2 days pass after the update and start screaming about samung sucking "cuz i aint gettin mah kay lame phie"... teah the tab cost quite a few bucks, but it works pretty well as it is.. and if one doesnt like it.. sell it to someone that might like/love it and buy some other "better" brand and start to whine about that one not getting each and every update
That said, i am quite surprised Samsung didnt announce JB for the 7.7, and also the list didnt have more than 4-5 models some month ago, who says that 7.7 wont be added to the list next week/month.. but then again i dont think this model has sold enough for Samsung to spend the money on the update.. yet, plus they have a bunch of new models they want ppl to buy..
Also if you reeeeeally want JB, just root and throw in a custom rom, sitting on this forum its not hard to find a guide on how to do it.
This is really bad from Samsung Tablet premium class not to participate with the official Jelly Bean but others such as GT2 Plus and has a lower hardware and the display. It is a shame but not bad because there are alternatives, such as PA, CM10 or my Nexness PRO and all: 4.1.1
thanks god we've got some rich developers who own this piece of technology

No sir, the point isn't crying about new updates, the point is, did we paid for this to let it run stone age operating system? why in the hell a 5 years old iphone still receive updates and i don't? do you think apple charged their customers more than Samsung did?
to be honest, i was happier with my old (sold) gt p1000 running gingerbread, on this one am waiting for a Samsung human developer to do something about the text size! (because honestly i don't think they used humans to test this before pushing it to the market) not those of xda, they aren't paid for that, and no body should blame them because they are doing us a favor for sharing their work with us. Samsung developers are paid to satisfy my needs, why should I give them a rest?
No sir, if my device is able to run the latest operating system in the market, so i want it, and i want it now.
if they are willing to ignore our expensive devices, ill sell it and get something else (Microsoft maybe?) note that I may lose some bucks, but Samsung may lose the market
as for the wifi, if it wasn't so important, why would I pay 6 times for a simple Kindle ebook reader, at least this one does exactly what it supposed to do without updates
I need to read from the net, that why i need my wifi working on ICS, and then on jelly bean.
and then i want a phablet dpi, i don't care about tablet UI, and if others do, Samsung can add a dual UI, Tablet and Phablet (that what android is, choices)

JB for the Note II has been out for a while now. Note II specs are remarkably similar to SGN10.1 specs. JB with Note II multitasking competes well with W8. The current configuration not so much.
So, open letter to Samsung. Time to push out the JB OTA now! You are going to start losing SGN10.1 users to W8 devices. Get your act together and OTA us dammit. This is a new device. We should NOT be made to wait like this. Pisses us off and just bad business for you.
And if you are delaying us just so your W8 devices can get a foothold you are going to have some unhappy early adopters on your hands.
Get it done.

This makes me think we aren't even close.

We paid the price for the ICS and it has been updated anything else is just yet to come when Samsung thinks it's ready and or the right time for them.
Yes, it's always a good idea to try to put pressure on a company to release software they don't think is ready. I mean, we all know they develop things and just wait and wait for no reason before releasing.

comes to android.

I wouldn't expect JB out anytime soon, with 4.2 out last night Samsung probably has to start with the OS base all over again but if they had gotten to the apps then at least those are a quick copy paste but with less devs working on the S3 and Note 2 version as it is practically out we will probably see the update coming through in December late November unless they give us 4.1 and we wait for 4.2.

And Second I want in AOKP that be another lockscreen but I think it's not possible :/
We only need egl blobs and kernel source from GS3 4.3 to run CM10.2 well (not stable but pretty decent like CM10.1).

Not going to flash even if they release 4.3. I prefer to be on CM. Much more smooth and better battery life.

Agree and disagree with your comment. 100% agree with the smoothness part but sammy 4.1.2 roms with a good stock kernel offer the best battery life (Up to 7hrs screen on time, my record was 6 hrs screen-on time spread over about 1 day)
What a lame excuse for not updating.
Sincerely shame on you Samsung.
I think it's not a surprise. Sammy couldn't give us usable exynos drivers for oasp. So they probably couldn't figure it out themselves. Looks bad anyway. ..

codeworkx n xplodwild (not forgetting other developers) are quite capable to give us 4.3 (which we already have as courtsey of xplodwild..) ...
cm is way btr than sammy roms..
Stupid excuses from Samsung...but why the S2+ can get 4.2.2. .really stupid

CM is not a solution as it is really buggy. Playing games is not even possible
Also it is laggy bcs of its own made drivers. Animation stutters in cm really frustrate me.
Battery life is also another problem

Unfortunately, based on what other brands are doing, we cannot blame so much Samsung. We got last official update few weeks ago for a device which is in the market from beginning of 2011. Of course who bought the device one year after it was in the market (like me!) got a better price but having more or less one year of software support and counting mostly on XDA community to keep the device alive.
We should blame who has promised 18 months of updates but failed to keep their promises (I know HTC for example).
Most of the cases there are not technical reasons not updating devices but just marketing. I would be happy having 24 months as minimum software support.
Correct me if Im wrong but I havent read any on that article that it is official? So why go on rampage blaming Samsung on the statement which might be a fallacy? You will just stress yourself.

Exactly.
It's just that once a rumor (a sensitive one here), starts up, it catches up pretty fast.
there are about 5-6 articles by now about this on various websites, each quoting eachother as references.. XD
Let's just wait because even S3 hasn't received 4.2 yet, and as always Samsung updates the newest first!

I saw something about samsung skip the 4.2 and the 4.3 release directly to s3 and s2, do not ask me where, but I've been looking around, and also already be next to launch a test build for s3

4.3 seems a little far fetched. ....considering the aging of our device .I doubt Samsung will push any further updates for us ...
And its so silly. They said that s2+ will get the update bcuz it has more power than S2 (seems lik a marketing strategy 2 me)...
On tge the latest report it says Samsung owns 47% of all android devices.i think out of those 30% represents S2, S3 & S4 .
S2 still has a very large scale of users , its a shame Samsung is leaving us in the dark..
Well I guess its time to move on to S3 , S4 , N4 or H One ...

But dont blame the Manufacturers too much
Everyone should think back to the Times where Android wasnt there
Symbian times for Example... Updates came pretty Slow BUT they came and where everytime pretty Bugfree and with Really Good Performance and all that
The Update Floods on the Android OS doesnt makes it any Easyer for the Manufacturers nor the Devs i think
Google makes everything very Complicated for everyone,and i am sure that all Manufacturers first gonna bring out the newest versions to the newest Phones
Why ...Pfff Because they Have to keep The NEW things more up to date then the Old .
Well I know other nonnexus android manufacturers are much worse. I'm not even sure the HTC Sensation and Xperia arc of 2011 received 4.1.2 yet.
But seriously samsung can't compare with those manufacturers as they are not as big as samsung.
Samsung should see how apple gives software updates to old phones as apple is the only manufacturer as big as samsung and hence their main competitor.

Here is where you miss the point.
Apple has like what 5 devices to support?
3GS, 4, 4S, 5
Whereas Samsung has a portfolio the size of an Apple Farm.. XD
So they focus on the newer models which is natural, to boost their sales and try to keep up with others.
And while they do, Google keeps launching updates after updates.
One such example is,
Galaxy S Advance, It was supposed to get ICS but by the time it's turn came, ICS was outdated, so Samsung directly gave it GB to JB.
I think we will get our 4.2 update somewhere around my birthday in Nov'13

I think what samsung should instead do is to give the best support for those who paid more for the premium Galaxy S line and note line, otherwise their image will be no better than their mid range and budget phones line.
It's their own fault since the beginning actually. Their flagships so far is S, S2, S3, S4, Note 1 and Note 2. However, each flagship got so many variants. For example, the S4 has 14 variants including the zoom and active according to wikipedia.
Samsung might be able to convince people to buy their product. However, I'm afraid they can't convince people to buy their product for the second time.

Not exactly looking forward whether Samsung will push an update for us but they've got a point there. I think Samsung's not particularly concerned about customer satisfaction which means just like the others said that Samsung's likely to update the newer devices that's still in the market to increase their sales.

You know , more than kitkat , I feel samsung should fix all the bugs , which to my surprise they are doing it in full force looking at the number of updates on Sammobile.com .
I have an S4 .. it got updated to kitkat , but honestly dint feel much of a difference as it was running smoothly before too .
So yeh , bug fixes first priority , according to me .. cuz in the end its the apps that you are gona use the most and they should perform flawlessly first
Im tired of hearing about kitkat....its really nothing special....its not a big deal. Get over it...it will come, and when it does...then what?

This. I'd prefer a perfectly stable and bug free 4.3 to a buggy 4.4 any day.
Samsung's been showing M-UX as a N10.1-14 feature for over a month. That means people buying it should expect it to be there. Rather than call or write *****ing about wanting KitKat call or write asking where to find M-UX because it's shown as a feature and you can't find it on your device. M-UX is listed on Samsung's global N10.1-14 microsite and for the Canada, UK, India, and Australia regional sites. You'll get further complaining about the absence of something Samsung's described as a feature on their websites than wanting the next Android version update faster.

Maybe that's why the update is taking so long to be released. Some of the Note Pro features being ported over. Me personally the feature I would like the most is Hancom office and 4 multiwindow support. If we get those in the update them all good.

The Tab|Pro 10.1 doesn't have four window Multi-View so I doubt we'll get it. I also doubt we'll get the distinct "Pro" features; especially Hancom Office. Samsung screwed up by not making the N10.1-14 the first of the Pro series (Note|Pro 10.1) even if it launched the way we have it with the Pro features added later via a Premium Suite when the other Pros were launched. I'm betting all we get is 4.4, the freshened TW interface, updates to Samsung's stock apps, and M-UX.
Somewhere between CES and launch M-UX was castrated so the choice of widgets for it is pretty slim and the ability to use tiles to launch non-M-UX apps is missing. I'll probably use the one mandatory M-UX page as a news feed and keep the rest of my set-up exactly how I have it. I'm one of those that got Hancom before they asked XDA to pull it and all the other Pro features except e-Meeting (which requires another Pro device to work) are available on XDA or the Internet. The only things I'm looking forward to are the fluidity and battery life improvements in 4.4 and the freshened TW interface. But I haven't had some of the issues others complain about so either I have lower standards than everyone else or I'm just lucky. I've been using a 4.4 stock ROM on my N3 for almost two months and aesthetically and feature wise there's very little different from 4.3. I expect our 4.4 update will be pretty similar in that regard.

l'm on AT&T and have had KK for a month or so.
my friend S4 i9500 has some problem after installed official 4.4.2 update
I don't understand why some people think that the magazine ux advertised for our device has anything to do with the new magazine ux which is made for the PRO devices.
Our device has already a magazine ux, which you can find if you swipe from home button - up. No more no less.
After owning 3 Samsung devices i have learned that If you expect to get the latest software from Samsung then you'll be highly disappointed.
So to summarize... At some point within 9 months we'll get the 4.4.2 which will contain zero interface changes except from the white battery and the camera in the lock screen. That's it.

I'm hoping we at least get the option for multiple user accounts.
Getting this tablet has made me remember how much Touchwiz suffocates some genuinely useful features while giving you a tonne of gimmicks and a few usable features that you could easily replicate with a few apps and full control of your device.
I think if multi user accounts gets left out in the update I won't be worrying too much about tripping knox.
Not sure how they can cry foul when people have paid some decent $ and they're the one that have crippled a far better OS.
