Just a quick question, really. I know that FL16 has been put out for testing and whatnot, but does Samsung plan to do an OTA update to 4.2.1 for our phones in the future, or is 4.1.2 going to be it for us?
Thanks

No one knows.
Very very less likely is my guess.

OK, that's good to know. I'm guessing that if it doesn't happen any improvements that 4.2.1 has will eventually, if not already, be available to be loaded onto the phone in custom ROMs or through other methods?

You have alpha aosp 4.2.1 ROM to test in original dev forums. Thats the only 4.2 ROM for our device yet.
We will likely see cm10.1 at some point.

Yes we do? We have official and many, many roms for it. Also google said they were gonna make it a priority to get more devices Jelly Bean much faster.
Sdk ports are never good. Always run really slow even if all the drivers are in place.

Useless unless you want to dump a few thousand dollars to pay a few devs full time to get it where it needs to be.. in a month or two.

Nah. There are still some (relatively minor) bugs.
And Google doesn't have the final say in who has Jelly Bean. I'm sure we'll be able to get JB here, but Google doesn't push OTA updates for our device. Same for most others.

gonna be dropping all samsung branded devices soon, should have did so after my vibrant, would be a damn shame to see the T989 not get jellybean when the hardware would support it just fine
Forget the system dump. Just wait for the Source Code, which shouldn't take long to be out. GNexus is getting the update soon (2nd week of July is i'm hearing).
Can it be ported? The ICS is much closer to Jellybean than Ginger was to ICS. Maybe the ICS drivers might work and even the kernels.

Was just reading through MobileSyrup and came across this article.
Nice to see that we will be officially getting the update to JB. I know we have been able to get it for months via AOSP, but still nice to see what the TW version will have to offer.
Proceed to link below for info:

Wouldn't the TW rom from Samsung help the AOSP devs port over certain features like Project Butter and other?

hey guys noob question
who cares about rogers releasing jelly bean if theres already roms with jelly bean integrated into it. im assuming its samsung official jelly bean rom thats being released but what advantage does it have over aokp or cm10?

There are certain optimizations to this phone which Samsung keeps closed source. Having an official release may allow devs to take advantage of them.
Case in point: try doing a quadrant benchmark on both a touchwiz and aosp ROM and you'll see that the difference is profound.

There are alot of users still on the original software, i am one of them. I never found one that looks or feels good like the original. Happy to see that JB will be here soon.
ugh that sucks rogers changed the date to early December but it seems as though a lot of the releases from other carriers have a lot of issues so hopefully bu the time we get it it will be worked out
Hopefully 4.2 will not be long after.

Nothing exciting. Biggest thing being improved Bluetooth. According to that list, they are leaving out everything from the International 4.1.2 update. And the 4.2 roms we have are AOSP, this update is stock TW.

Yeah it didn't look at that exciting to me. I'm sure Tmobile will lag on this let alone 4.2. I'm running stock now since I got my replacement. But, I think at least for me I'll skip the sgsiv and see what the end of the year holds. I've been through too many phones this last year to warrant me getting the sgsiv. Htc amaze>Sgs2>gbex>sgs3.

The t989 devs have put out a literal tonne of jb roms already.
And if you are talking about xda devs helping get official jb out....well.....I will just say not gonna happen. Xda devs are not affiliated with google, samsung or the carriers in any way.
So...I could care less when official jb comes out....cause I've been running it already for months!

I just installed embryo 6.8 today. So far so good! Was using Whitehawkz Aokp 4.2.2 for about a month...its very good! I just wanted to try a TW rom again, since last time I did there were alot more issues on the t989. Seems most of its been ironed out now....even have signal bars now.
Anyway, those are the 2 I've used recently. There are a bunch of great current roms tho! Just read thru the different rom threads to see what folks are saying about them.
Remember....for what I do with my phone I have very few if any issues....but for what you do with your phone...that could be different. Just nandroid a safe good backup....and flash anything that appeals to you. If you don't like, then restore your nandroid.
Have fun!

T-Mobile has announced software updates for the many of the devices I've used over the years and rarely have they ever followed through. There are plenty of JB ROMs that are worth looking at that will blow any T-Mo OTA out of the water.
And the T989 doesn't have the hardware capacity to run what the S4 will be able to run.
