Google posts full Android 4.1 Jelly Bean changelog

Google has posted up a big, bullet-filled page with all the stuff it has added in since 4.0.
Android 4.1, Jelly Bean
Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, is the fastest and smoothest version of Android yet. Jelly Bean improves on the simplicity and beauty of Android 4.0, and introduces a new Google search experience on Android.
Everything in Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book.
Jelly Bean features improved performance throughout the system, including faster orientation changes, faster responses when switching between recent apps, and smoother and more consistent rendering across the system through vsync and triple buffering.
Jelly Bean has more reactive and uniform touch responses, and makes your device even more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life.

What's new in Jelly Bean
Accessibility
With Jelly Bean, blind users can use 'Gesture Mode' to reliably navigate the UI using touch and swipe gestures in combination with speech output.
With the new accessibility focus feature, you can move a cursor between controls to maintain a target for the next action or a source for the next navigation event. You can double tap anywhere to launch the current item with accessibility focus.
Text traversal in accessibility now gives you more control – choose to move between pages, paragraphs, lines, words or characters.
TalkBack, a screenreader for Android, now supports gestures to trigger actions, to navigate applications, and traverse text.
Get full support for braille accessibility services (download BrailleBack on Google Play).
Android Beam
With Android Beam, you can now easily share your photos and videos.
Instantly pair your phone or tablet to Bluetooth devices like headsets or speakers that support the Simple Secure Pairing standard by just tapping them together.
Audio Accessories
Support for USB audio docks, shipping later this year.
Browser and WebView
Browser has improved performance, CPU and memory efficiency. With better performance for animations and HTML5 canvases and an updated JavaScript Engine (V8), pages load faster and feel smoother.

Browser now supports the updated HTML5 Media Capture specification on input elements.
WebView now supports vertical text, including Ruby Text and other vertical text glyphs.

The Home Screen feature is not setting a different screen as home, its the ability to set a different default launcher easily.
Yeah, you could always print from gallery to network printers. KitKat introduces settings to add cloud printers and compatible printers

I think the "Ok Google" part shouldn't really apply as that's only native to the Nexus 5, not 4.4
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks for listing them. I was scratching my head on what's new. Thanks.

I won't be getting the update til end of January, but was wondering if text messages received with the new default Google Hangout app (or whatever you choose as your standard SMS app) will be able to been seen as a preview on the sense lockscreen. On 4.3, if I download Hangouts, I lose that lockscreen SMS preview feature.

Interesting thread, thanks
So seems like most of the features are in the GPE version for our HTC, right?
So, not a real improvement, except its called "KitKat 4.4"?!

Interesting... Is there still a default Sense messaging app? Or did Hangouts fully replace it?

Does transparent bars work with 3rd party launchers like Nova/Apex?
At the moment it just seems like the same Sense 5.5 on 4.3 with just a few little extras. Pity about the lockscreen, I still prefer Sense 5's lockscreen where you can choose what type compared to 5.5's mashed up one. And hopefully the next version of Sense will be ART compatible too.

Thanks for the nice breakdown!

most of the features should be in the GPE version for the One, except for the features that are specific to the Nexus 5 (Google Exp Launcher, pedometer, etc)
KitKat really wasnt a huge change, but I'm happy certain things made it (Wallet Tap n Pay, Bluetooth expanded profiles, Location modes and monitoring, etc). I just wish they updated the dialer to have the new dialer stuff.

What about the advanced ram usage information? i cant find it on my one with 4.4 and sense

Bluetooth MAP support (BT enhancements): HTC had this enabled from day one & still works in the latest update.
Location in Quick Settings: , There is “GPS” in the quick settings to enable/disable GPS/Location.
Low-power audio playback: , I think this refers to the Bluetooth Low Energy & the HTC One already had this since the 4.3 update.

Nope that doesn't work. FRP bug in the build. Why do you want screenshots? It is the same UI as Oreo for the most part.

Nice bro and tanks for your answer, you receives the update or you download the update? If you download the update it's universal for any device?

Only thing that turns dark is the pulldown and it doesn't change anything else, not even the apps which support dark mode. You still ha have to manually change those.

For people that want Digitallwellbeing in stock Pie. I can give you the insctruction to get it to work.
1. Sideload Digitalwellbeing apk
2. Go to quick settings and add: Grayscale
3. Long press Grayscale and follow instructions.
4. Give the right permissions.
5. Press the upper left back-button until you get to the main Digitalwellbeing menu.
6. Scroll down and select option: Show icon in the app list.
Sadly the grayscale doesn't seem to work and Wind down doesn't seem to do antything aswell. BUt now you can atleast see how your phone usage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Add Charging sound
When in QC MODE it doesn't show rapidly
charging
,but it still have quick charging
PD still show rapidly charging

Is it true that they have pulled the update ?

Hi, can anybody confirm whether HTC is using navigation gestures, instead of the ugly navigation bar?
Please post screenshots

I hope that the double wifi (connect to wifi 2.4 and 5Ghz at the same time) feature will also be included...

Whats for ? To gain speed ?

Yes double wifi increases wifi download speed and decreases latency

Oh. Its good to have one. But i think that using 5ghz at least you ll get more performance but except that any other good features ? For example, recording from wide angle camera ?..... Ridiculous that such an expensive device doesnt have it Huawei p20pro has ! And its cheaper.

I hope for a wide-system dark mode and video recording with periscope and ultra wide camera..

can we except internal audio recording feature?

I must say this is a bit impressive from OPPO.

Well OPPO said Reno 10x zoom beta by the end of October and they have already asked users to sign for beta builds in China.

That means some more months for you guys to wait for a stable release, lots of other manufacturers already dropped Android 10 for their flagships.
Glad I already got rid of this pice of junk.

Stil impressed?

They are not even caring about CPH1919 indian variant. No updates nothing new. Even their customer assistance is not good.

Does anyone has any news about when will we get the final stable version?
Cheers
