Honestly, I'd be willing to pay someone to work on porting Honeycomb to the Galacy Tab. I'd work on it, but I don't have a whole lot of time... So will anyone try doing this?
There are already threads about this. It will come when someone feels like working on it. Wait a few weeks now that the Zoom is out.

nope I mean Q2 2012 there is no way we will get honeycomb in the next few months.
I'm sure we'll never officially get it, but that's what XDA is for
Why is that waz000000?
Development on for example the Nexus One is going quite well. Don't know if it's ever going to be very functional on the Nexus One, because it's a phone with a small screen. A lot is not working, but it is stable and it's fast(hardware acceleration works).
So i think a skilled developer who knows how to create ROM's for the TAB, could build something functional i think.

I base my reasoning on the fact there has never been a release candidate of CM6/7 on the galaxy S which is practically the same hardware and has been developed now for well over a year.
The main problem seems to be the drivers for samsung devices, there is no easy port like other models.
Add to the fact so many new models of tab are coming out over the next few months and people will jump ship I doubt there will be many skilled devs left to port to the tab. Our only real and honest hope is samsung.
Perhaps this will help you out.

I think that it is only a PREVIEW version of HC but it MIGHT pave the way for you for improvement.

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.

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.

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
I had sworn off non-Google phones after a couple of Samsung experiences, but the One is just so well-designed, I can't resist it. It's really the first Android phone which can compete with the iPhone in hardware design.
Now my question is, what happens when Google rolls out Android 5.0? Would vanilla Android be available quickly for the unlocked 32Gb and the 64 Developer edition? Is there any reason why it may not happen, or it may be difficult to do? Would the non-standard button layout throw a wrench in the OS upgrade possibilities?
I dont think so
If you buy the developer edition you can install plane lemon pie on it as it has the bootloader unlocked or any kind of ROM you want. On the Unlucked one you will need to wait until HTC releases the update as it also comes with thei Sense 5.0 UI.:laugh:
HTC have been saying they will be working a lot harder to get the latest updates out to their phones. And you can see as well in the One series that they have delivered to an extent.
Plus as the HTC One is their flagship device for this year, they will be putting all of their attention on it
As I would agree to this, without source code and binaries for the device I.E> sensors, bt, wifi, processor from HTC the dev edition wont just = instant updates to latest and greatest. Its just nice to see them least offering it up.
They don't even have 4.2 on the One, so I am assuming it would take them a long time to get KLP on the One.

There's a reason why they did not got for 4.2. Here's a quick snip from Anandtechs amazing review
HTC says it went with 4.1 for both stability and time to market reasons, which I think is reasonable considering some of the 4.2.x issues people have complained about, though 4.2.2 fixes most of it. At this point it would be awesome to have 4.2, but for a smartphone the only features I miss are the notification shade settings and perhaps photosphere.

Not to mention Lock screen widgets.
But my point is not whether they CAN out 4.2 on their device, but the fact that they did not.
Samsung has 4.2 on the S4, while the SIII also has a leaked ROM. So, I would say that KLP would come to the One in Q4 of this year at the earliest.

What is HTC's history in terms of offering source code and binaries for their hardware? (I haven't had an HTC since the WM days
I pre-ordered the 32GB unlocked, but now I am wondering if I jumped the gun and I should sit tight and wait for whatever the Next Nexus phone is? The only problem is, Google does not know how to drive good hardware design, and I really doubt the next Nexus will be as well designed or built.
For what it's worth, I love 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Nexus, although it is getting to be a bit laggy with some apps. Nevertheless, I feel it is a bit more bug-free overall than 4.1.
If it doesn't look like HTC will release enough code to allow the One to be made vanilla Android and freely updated to the latest OS, i may actually cancel.
When the devs get the bootloaders unlocked flashing things will be no problem. It may take a while but it'll happen eventually.

I can run pa or cm too if i wanted to and this device only has the htcdev unlock available.
Also sense from other devices can be ported but its a pita so dont expect to much on that side.
However there are also roms who strip htc sense entirly making it a treu aosp experience and diff ui's can be flashed( xperia and samsung ui have been ported to hox)

But bootloader unlock (which AFAIK is available for the 32gb unlocked version as well) does not mean that the rest of the hardware will be opened up to developers, right?
Ugh, I was hoping for a much more optimistic scenario.... I love the efforts the developers here pour into maintaing these sets when the hardware is not exposed and the manufacturer drags its feet on updates, but after having to deal with the constant ROM tinkering and numerous resulting issues with my old Samsing sets, I am not excited about the prospect of going through it again.
Also, I am wondering if the non-standard soft buttons will affect easy porting of 5.0 to the One?
Having aosp etc on the one would be a bit pointless. I like it. The ones standout features are design sound and camera.
Youd have two out of three running aosp etc. Every other HTC device running has a scrappy camera since they went to 8mp. It remains to be seen what the ones camera would be. If it's deal though you lose a lot. Okay 4.2 etc is sweet on the nexus range but there hardware was built around it
Fairplay is try it on the one..debateable whether it'd be worth it though

I would hope so. But the fact that they are releasing their flagship with months old OS version is a little worrying.
I am not so broken up about 4.2, but 5 sounds like it will be a rather major update and if this thing doesn't get updated promptly, it will be a very disappointing acquisition for me.

Exactly. I can't believe there's already complaints about the time it will take HTC to update the phone to KLP. One of the main reasons people are flocking to this phone is the awesome job HTC did on the software features. If they slapped it together you could have the latest, but not the same experience. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

this is kind of ridiculous. 4.3 just came out.
also, kit kat is a better name than key lime pie imo. i know they didn't really say much about this or its release date, but google, give us some time to bask in 4.3 goodness without having to say "i'm only going to have the newest version of android for 5 minutes"
one more thing: manufacturers, since you're lazy a-holes, skip any 4.3 updates unless you are actually competent enough to test and push the update. this will probably come out this fall (so in like a month or two)
this is android 4.4, not 5.0 like i thought. i am interested to see what this is going to be.
as most other android releases go, it probably will run on our fascinate. again, it's a wait and see thing.
THE LAST THING: This would be just fine if Google actually had control of the OS like Apple does. inb4 apple vs google, but you gotta admit, apple pushes out updates and all the devices that are listed to receive the updates get them. day one, no questions asked. with android, you don't get that unless you have a GSM Nexus phone, or a Nexus tablet.
Hope this will have some significant improvements to the fragmentation.
So what do you guys think Kitkat will bring to our phones? Its definitely not something huge because its not 5.0
Any thoughts? Oh and yes. Apple rules when it comes to updates. Thats one thing I'll like to se improved over the next few versions. And Samsung etc should join forces not wait months or years for updates! !!

samsung is too full of themselves to join in on google goodness. look at the s3. that thing can totally run 4.2 or 4.3, but samsung doesn't give you those builds because they want money, not a long-lasting phone. that's the way of business. the sad way of business.

Coming from Samsung? No f*****g way. But fortunately there are many skilled and committed developers at xda who are working hard to keep our device up-to-date. So I'm sure a few of them will update their ROMs to Android M Sources.
The other Question is, if the (old) SIII Hardware is performant enough for Android M. But from what I read in the news, it shouldn't be too resource consuming.
So, if you are running a ROM and are willing to flash a new version: Things are looking good .
Its looks like a tiny upgrade as well so I'm sure the talented devs on this site can make it happen.

With aosp source code from Google still a couple of months away, I don't see this happen. Even the talented devs that ported 5.0 to our s3 will probably stop here. We may see more stable 5.1.1 ROMs, but I think that's it.

Try the latest blekota 4.4.4, note 4 rom, it's really look like the note 4.
Samsung dropped support at 4.3 and will not be updating past it for the s3.
They have newer flagship devices in the S family which have taken over.
Custom roms might though.

I agree with some posts, it's still too early to develop android M for non nexus phones. With patience and colaboration, eventually some developer will... develop android m for the S3.
