Develop Bugs

Android 5.0 Jelly Bean

Looks like 5.0 Jelly Bean will be coming soon but will out phones even run 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich ? Who knows.
Of course 5.0 is aimed at larger devices but it will probably be ported to any device the developers see fit to port to.

Yeah scrap the Android 4 AOSP petition.
Lets make it Android 4 Sense this time and then Android 5 AOSP.
We can also send a petition to Qualcom to make and release a code to make the Desire processor dual core.

ICS is running fairly decently on Desire and Nexus One I'd say - still bugs but there's massive progress

we all cant wait until ICS is 100% working will be the day we all fall in love with our Desire again

I am amazed how smooth the ICS ASOP Rom is. But I'm back to Gingerbread and I don't think I'll update to 5.0 any time. I bought the Desire nearly two years ago right at the beginning and the development during this time was great.
IMHO it isn't necessary to update a two year old device to the newest os version.

I want ICS to work on the Desire. HTC still love it. They're just too lazy to get working software on older hardware.

Why not, why not. One reason more to work on 3.x kernel.

Thinking about getting one. Will the Galaxy Nexus always get updates?

Noob question here.
I'm considering buying the Galaxy Nexus. I'd like to ask a couple of questions before I pull the trigger on this phone. I'm thinking about purchasing it directly from the Google Play Store.
My question is if the Galaxy Nexus bought from the Google Play Store will always get updates directly from Google without any sort of carrier or manufacturer bs.
Thanks in advance.

Yup even then... ports from the gsm to the CDMA versions are made here. But yeah your firmware will come straight from Google.

LOL. You should know why the Nexus is famous.

Yep.. Will also be the first to get the Key Lime Pie or whatever K desert will be next. Nexus (NEXt UpdateS)

Hmm.
I don't completely agree with this. Let's see. Nexus S shipped with Gingerbread, and only recently got Ice Cream. There hasn't been any mention of Jelly Bean on it.
The Galaxy Nexus was the first for Ice Cream and for Jelly Bean. I doubt it will be the first for Key Lime Pie. I'm going to bet the newest/next Nexus phone will have Key Lime Pie at launch, then we'll get it in Feb Marchish of the following year. Anything past Key Lime... I'm going to doubt.
/2 cents.
Edit: So it seems that the Nexus S is getting jellybean after all. So perhaps getting the nexus wont be so bad after all. You should get at least 2 more updates.

At the Google I/O presentation of Jelly Bean they said it was on its way to Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S, so yeah, they kinda mentioned it.

It will receive Jelly Bean and whatever is after that.
After that though, I seriously doubt it. Google will cut its legs off just as it did the Nexus One.

I think they should skip 4.1.2 and release 4.2. But knowing Samsung and Tmobile, I know it not going to happen I think we have better chance seeing 4.2 on the Note 3.

Every Galaxy S series phone I had, the good folks at Sammy and T-Mongols (misspelling is on purpose) from way back with the Vibrant then the SG2, then the Note2, I always experienced a full OS update change. Not a partial that we just experienced. With the Vibrant, they moved from Eclair to Froyo. On my SG2 it was from Gingerbread to ICS. So if this keeps it up, we should get out of Jellybean onto whatever is next.

I think you should skip your note 2 and get a Nexus device if you are so concerned with having the newest 1st. My G1 has a ICS build and that was the 1st android device commercially available. Use your brain if you have one, 4.2 is just around the corner and already out in the form of CM10.1. Kandy Kane will be no exception and CM11 will bring it to us before sammy sends out a touchwized version of it. Do some damn research before you just start assuming things.

What the hell is wrong with the people on XDA nowaday. Did you even think before you made your comment. Of course i know CM 10.1 w/4.2 is out. Didnt you see my comment on the other thread about madmack has a working CM10.1 4.2 rom for all lte Note 2. I know you did saw my post because you made a comment below that. I wasnt talking about asop 4.2, i was talking bout official Samsung 4.2 with Touchwiz. Does CM10.1 supports s-note, s-pen, mutli-windows etc...NO. All the features included in Samsung touchwiz are what make the phone the "Note"
But to answer your question, i do have a brain and thats why i going to take the high road. You dont have to like me or agree with my comment. But i'd appreciate it if you respect me and don't use those kind of languages.

Wrong again. 4.1.2 just polishes the over all performance of 4.1.1, it it was an LTE thing the N7100 wouldn't have got it and they did. It just cleanes up some code and makes things smoother.

Wrong. It has to do with timing rather than LTE. If T-Mobile doesn't get to releasing 4.1.2/4.2 until they release LTE then they will be released at the same time.
But Samsung wants to fix thier issues while still working on 4.1.2/4.2 on Note 2. Then T-Mobile needs to work on the 4.1.2/4.2. Then they set up a time to release 4.1.2/4.2 for us. And because of the Samsung fixes it may be released before T-Mobile releases thier LTE.
Again this is all about timing.

Depends on how you see a "snob".
I personally don't like the control that Apple puts on their products. So yes I am snobbish at Apple products.
I believe that devices like Android "smartphones" are really Mobile (Cellular/WiFi) Pocket Personal Computers aka MPPC. So you can say that I am a snob there too.
But what is being a technology snob have to do with the release of 4.1.2/4.2?

Google delayed Key Lime Pie to give manufacturers more time to release 4.2.2. So I think we will get 4.2.2 first, then the Note 3 get KLP and after that we will get KLP.

What?!? If anything, Apple's icon pack (AKA iOS7) should make Google and Samsung rest easy... :laugh:
It's really nothing more than an icon pack (ludicrous redesign BTW.. to think those clowns had the guts to mock Touchwiz's colors for being "toy-ish" LMFAO!!) plus the usual round of rip-offs from Android and Windows... They haven't fixed any of that piece of software crap's major handicaps.
Plus, it's just been previewed (and only on iPhones which makes me think they are pretty behind in development), it won't be available until this fall.
iOS is the WORST major mobile operating system around.

Sure, they are always welcome, but for today there isn't a single thing that REALLY NEEDS to be updated with this phone. If you want "magical new features" that actually had already existed for a long time in other devices, go get an iphone. You will get one or two "major" updates every year, guaranteed!

The galaxy S3 will be getting 4.3 in October
But I don't think it will officially get 4.4. However does officially really matter, when you can just get it unofficially?
Also by the time carriers actually start releasing 4.4 the gs3 will be a third or even fourth tier phone in the series
Also I like the idea of KitKat it was Google one upping all those people who thought they could predict them in a creative way that also set up more advertising ect...

Eh, not holding my breath. I would rather get it unofficially IMO. Nice to brag to my friends or others
"here look, I'm running the latest of android"......and your not:laugh:

The Galaxy S3 will but ours won't. Always always always when they announce updates forthcoming they are talking about the international versions. It is then up to Samsung and the carriers to invest resources to put them on US phones. Typically this takes several months IF the carrier is interested. AT&T just got 4.1.2 and it is not a pushed update.
As for 4.4 I have no doubts about the S3 getting that version but you will be asking the same hypothetical question then about 5.0.

I could see the s3 getting Kitkat, but not for a while after all of the other phones. Just because the s3 was a very successful phone and they're still being sold like crazy. Anyways, I hope I'll have Kitkat on my s5 on release .

Galaxy S phones have always had two major updates (Galaxy S1 got Froyo and Gingerbread, S2 got ICS and JB. Since Android has had multiple versions of Jelly Bean, it is hard to say whether or not they think of Jelly Bean 4.1 and Jelly Bean 4.3 as two major updates for the Galaxy S3, but if not, then it is likely we will get Android 4.4 KitKat.

Galaxy S phones have always had two major updates (Galaxy S1 got Froyo and Gingerbread, S2 got ICS and JB. Since Android has had multiple versions of Jelly Bean, it is hard to say whether or not they think of Jelly Bean 4.1 and Jelly Bean 4.3 as two major updates for the Galaxy S3, but if not, then it is likely we will get Android 4.4 KitKat.

Since we don't even have a clue about a release date for 4.4 I would not venture a guess.
