Will we see some good improvements in ICS before Jelly Bean?
Is there any announcements on ICS 4.1, 4.2 or something similar?
What needs improving in your mind?
If you're looking for fun new features...look into the rom scene.
And who knows what numerical version will be assigned to Jelly Bean...but it might be 4.1 itself.
Eclair 2.1
Froyo 2.2
Gingerbread 2.3
Only until we hit honeycomb (tablet only) did they increase full version #'s. (3.0)
And then back to tablet/phone integration at 4.0.

Exactly! I don't know why everyone is saying 5, ICS was only different because it unified the phone and tablet versions.
yes ICS is dead because the world is ending in Dec amirite?

Exactly. Too many people are confused about what jellybean actually is. Jellybean=improved ICS. It is just a version number...forget the cute little names! It is not going to be some major groundbreaking software update...the UI probably won't even change much! Think...froyo to gingerbread.
My ICS melted on a hot spring day when I left it in my car.
How is ICS dead it's only 6 months old? Yes, recent announcements schedule new Nexus devices and Jelly Bean in November but, ICS was made to unify the phone and tablet software where Jelly Bean will build on that. ICS is without a doubt the best release yet and is still gaining steam as more and more phones are getting updated. I'm not expecting Jelly Bean to be as big of a change as Gingerbread to ICS was but, I could be wrong.
Whats the point of this thread anyway?

so what do you guys think about google announcing the next version of android is 2.3 not 3.0, we all know that with version 3.0 (now honeycomb) will come with all the new ui changes, but what do you think will be included in 2.3?
gpu acceleration for the UI would be a serious performance boost - at least as far as 'feel' goes.
beyond that, bug fixes
I didn't think that Google had officially matched dev names to release numbers yet?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
to the same or lesser degree that 2.2 had on 2.1 users?
When did they announce that? And wasn't Eclair both 2.0 and 2.1?
ive read it still could be either 3.0 or 2.3 they havent really decided yet
Gingerbread is the update with the new UI. And there is nothing confirmed that Gingerbread is 2.3, just one message from some Google guy that includes '2.3' in it but not the word 'gingerbread'.
2.0 and 2.1 were both Eclair. Maybe 2.3 is still some froyo update?
Btw for the people that dont know, google has put the big Gingerbread statue in their HQ. It's close now.

sorry i should of rephrased my op better, it not official but has been leaked by numerious sources inside google and also in a faq for the webm video format the "gingerbread os version 2.3 will arrive 4Q 2010 We all knew that google was going to seperate android into 2 branches, the 2.x series for low to mid end devices, and the 3.x series for high end devices.. so maybe 2.3 and 3.0 will both be called gingerbread,

I think so too.After all maybe that's the only way they can preserve their "superiority" to both ranges,low/mid-end and high-end.Cheaper devices will be able to have the latest software while preserving a good functionality and high-end devices will be albe to show their true potential.
That's my opinion only though...
Who cares? The features matter, not the version number.
If 2.3 brings a GPU accelerated UI, that will be awesome! I also think it could have the new media player that they've shown during the Froyo announcement.
Who cares if the name is 3.0 or 2.3. We all know that we'll get 90% better performance anyway.

The last I heard, GPU power was the prime reason it wasn't done so priorly. So I'm very skeptical. If it is implemented, they may enable it only with specific tasks where it has greater power efficiency than currently.

what will happen to ICS?
http://www.gsmarena.com/android_50_jelly_bean_to_arrive_in_q2_with_chrome_os_dualboot-news-3839.php
Interesting...somewhat...
I kinda always hated that google's "update, update, update, update" policy They are jumping from one to the next number to fast (Chrome browser > v16 after what, 2 years? Opera > v12 after 15 years?) That's what I hate
And about ICS vs Jelly Bean... Well, Jelly Bean is oriented to large screen devices only, as it's written in the article, so I'm pretty sure that ICS won't have its successor on the smart phone devices in any soon time...
Anyway, I really hate google's number jumping
Think that jelly bean is the next gen of honeycomb, and ICS as the next gen of gingerbread. If you Think that way it will save you a lot of time.
For the guy who hate google updates, i kinda like it that way and help solving a lot of problem such as speed and what i like about ICS, the visual
If you put Eclair and ICS site by side you will start like updates too

I know a lot of this is subjective but I just wanted to get a feel for the thoughts among us users as to which of the current Jelly Bean ROMs has offered the best overall experience thus far. I've tried Bixie & Jelly Belly so far with the Franco Kernel and both have performed well. I'm thinking about trying Android Revolution out as well.
You're almost there. It's all subjective. If you've tried them out, use the one you like best.
try trinity kernel with those roms..

In my opinion,
The Vicious V1 AOSP 4.1.1 is the best out of all. Full stop. It works on my Verizon GNex the best.
And with JB Bootloader, Official 4.0.4 Radio, everything is perfect.

Here's an oddball question for you guys - I had sworn off rooting my phone for some time, until the Jelly Bean ROM's started popping up. My phone had the 4.02 system and for some reason, would never allow me to install the 4.04 updates (IMM76K) that Verizon was pushing OTA. The phone continued to have the issues associated with pre-4.04 (radio handling, slow screen rotation, typing lag) up until the point I rooted it.
I installed the Vicious V3 Jelly Bean ROM and have been loving the speed and responsiveness, especially with the Google voice searches and speach to text. I am still having radio reception and 3g/4g handoff issues. Do the new Jelly Bean ROMS have the radio updates? Do I need to install the 4.04 radios separately and if so, how do I do it?
So I basically just flashed my yakjuxw build to yakju, to get my hands on Jellybean. The experience is more than awesome, buttery smooth and fast! Now, I wonder, what will (for example) AOKP bring to the table to make it 'even more' buttery and fast, etc? I'm not much of a tweaker, I just really wonder if there will be any SIGNIFICANT advantages over stock rom. It all seems a bit silly to me.
Every other Android phone I have had I've flashed all the ROMs available purely to try and have the stock experience or get to a new version of Android. I purchased the Galaxy Nexus so I would get all the updates when released and to enjoy the stock experience, I have no intention of installing custom ROMs on this device.
Cheers
Jason
aokp brings few options to try with not the speed. It's the user experience that get enhanced with custom roms.
Similarly cm10 aosp and stock custom Roms do the same but not as much as cm10 and aokp do natively.

So what you're saying is that it's mostly visual differences? I mean what are the key elements that AOKP/ CM10 provide?

Watch a video or something. Aokp brings a lot of new features, such as customizable navbar, options to move your clock and change your battery icon and what not, weather and calendar on your lock screen. That's the type of things you'll see on a custom ROM.

Custom ROMs are more about extra features. At least when it comes to builds like Jelly Bean. I don't see Jelly Bean needing much in performance enhancements.

Aokp or cyan brings TONS of useful real world features. Its not just visual stuff or fluff. If you are asking then you aren't aware what these roms offer.
The problem is their JB versions don't have much added yet. So you'd have to flash their ICS version to see a fully loaded rom.

Noted. It sounds interesting. It's just that it makes my head spin sometimes, all the possibilities I guess we have to wait until a good JB rom shows up. However, isn't it slightly annoying you have to reflash the whole time to get the newest builds etc? I just don't see myself doing that the whole time
I am getting a nexus Monday. Right now I have a note. I have been reading the last coupledays to try and catch up but maybe I have missed something. Isn't there already good jellybean roms out already? Like Paranoid Android?

Alot of roms use Rom Manager or Goo Manager to host or link to their roms, with goo manager you can update most roms like an ota update when ever the dev updates the rom on Goo.im , same holds true with Rom Manager though i dont recall which website is used.
As far as both CyanogenMod and AOKP you can use these applications so that you dont have to search for the latest and greatest, just hit a button telling the application to check for updates and if there is one it applies it for you and phone updates nice and easy, of course you have to let the phone reboot to recovery and what not but the entire process becomes automated.

No not at all. Before jelly bean, I just flashed a loaded aokp and ran it for months and months. No need to upgrade. Currently JB roms need to be merged but once they are finished just flash one and go live life using the extra functions. If you are looking for a hobby then yes flash each week.
And as mentioned, most of the time you can just flash the rom update just like an OTA and you don't lose anything. Its just like an official ota update.
I'm giving my Droid Inc to my mom so she can play angry birds. Also so they cause use the gps.
This will be WIFI only.
I'm currently running redemptive revolution and would like to reflash it to something simpler.
I've been having some issues with rebooting lately and constantly get the "update available message".
I just want something simple that works for her so I don't get calls every day asking about why its not working.

Holy double thread!
Anyways, I thought stock had that random reboot at roughly 02. I put in my vote for CM7 for stability.

CM7 hands down. Stock is crap for a variety of reasons, mainly battery life, which more than doubles, in my experience, on CM7.
Wow Redemptive. Isnt that one of Lou's Froyo Roms. Thats freakin old school. I would go with CM7 for stability and momability. Update your cwm I think froyo was 3.0.7/.8
and WTF happened to CM8 was that ever developed or did the cyanogen team just decide to skip 8.

Yes, I do believe Redemptive is an Inc/Evo Froyo hybrid by Lou.
Slightly off topic, but CM follows the numbering scheme with Android releases. Such that:
CM6 = Android 2.2.x Froyo
CM7 = Android 2.3.x Gingerbread
CM8 would = Android 3.x Honeycomb
CM9 = Android 4.0.x Ice Cream Sandwich
CM10 = Android 4.1.x Jelly Bean
The only problem is Honeycomb source was never released (or wasn't released in a timely enough fashion; don't know, don't care). And that's the story of the missing CM version.

I vote for CM7 as well. I'd been using that ROM for months with no problems.
Definitely the latest cm 7. That's what I was using before I upgraded and it worked great

Best ROM threads are not encouraged on XDA as it's such a subjective topic, ask 10 people, get 10 different answers, figuratively speaking. I'm closing this thread but there is already an existing one open HERE which is the only one that will remain open as it's been there a while.

Also, getting to 10 posts just to say thanks in a Development is not allowed. All talk in the Development section, should be about development, debugging, scripts,...
If you want to say Thanks, there is a button for that.
And since Albinoman quoted your post, which you blantantly state, "The real honor though should be in the 5 hours I've spent making 10 decent posts so I could properly express my regards: Fantastic build.", I am deleting that post. So now you are back to 10.
