Samsung has released a list of devices that are scheduled to be updated to Jelly Bean. Missing from this list is the Captivate Glide. Oddly enough, they've chosen the Galaxy Chat (a phone that clocks in with a single-core, 850 MHz processor and a 1200 mAh battery) as the qwerty phone to update. (Indeed, all the phones to be updated are "Galaxy" phones.)
Source: The Verge
If our phone can run ICS, it can run JB, Samsung can't try to blame TouchWiz in this case like they did with the first Galaxy S when they said that the phone was in fact capable of running ICS, but not with TouchWiz, in our case, if the phone can run ICS with TouchWiz, it can run JB with TouchWiz.
So, please, Samsung, enough with the BS, and start working on JB for the Glide, I don't want to have to wait till 2013 to get the proper JB Source Code, because, that's the only thing that matters for me, the Source Code with the propietary drivers, because, let's be honest, who the f*ck wants JB with TouchWiz on top of it ? I want pure, stock, unmodded, untouched, vanilla Android.
It's no surprise, really. Doing ICS for the Glide has proven to be a hell of a lot more work than they anticipated and it's only sticking to their word that's keeping them at it.
We WILL have Jellybean ROMs of our own. There's no important kernel differences, it will come in time. Have patience, this is a ***** of a phone to develop for.
If Samsung Galaxy R gets Jelly Bean, then there's very, very good chance that we, me, and you will get to have Jelly Bean OS, just it's difficult to develop something that work, due to the difficulty of dealing with the useless digital blobs. It's like building a house without the foundation AND excepting it to stand.

Aren't updates for carrier based phones dependent on carriers (in this case AT&T or Rogers)? So Samsung won't comment on those phones. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Didn't At&T make the initial announcement last time for ICS?
That is one thing I hate about Android, the updates and not getting them.I must admit my next phone may be a nexus as those always get the updates since they are the ones Android is developed for. I may have to say by to the hardware keyboard and replace it with a Bluetooth keyboard case. Till then 2 more years with my glide and what ever little updates that intakes.

LOL I actually hate the proprietary phones much more. They are 100% useless if you are looking for a phone that you could customizable. I perfer Android more than any other phone OSes (personal perference).

Nexus is running Android. It is the phone Google makes all its builds for. Nexus is fully customizable as well.
I know Nexus is an Android hardware, in fact I wish I can afford to have this (pretty expensive - $400 to 1,000 depending on how "fresh" it is on the market and what's inside it).

hello d man is working on a custom ics rom for us. once he has finished that project he has promised us a jelly bean custom rom as well. so dont panic, the dman is to our rescue. I can tell you if you are expecting to have an AT rom for jelly bean they will mes that one as they did with the ics rom update. So i wont install any att rom from samsung and will wait for the dman to provides his custom rom and will have no more at bloat ware and it will bea vanillia experience of android ICs and Jelly bean since he is working with pure Android code from google AOsP, and AOKPA. If i am spelling these short codes names.

I thanked you accidentally. The Galaxy Nexus is actually selling for a pretty reasonable price on the Google Play store, I think around 350.
I see. There are MORE than one Nexus out there, though.
BTW, I think you can remove the thank.

NO, none till date.
Thanks for reply, I am currently using xperia pro, and would like to shift to glide because of better hardware spec. How would to rate glide and associated experience. Is it worth switching? Keyboard is real concern here else better spec phone alreay available in market.
Sent from my MK16i using xda app-developers app
Keyboard's nice, yes but also the USB-OTG, dual-core CPU and OLED screen were the selling point for me.

haha i was about to say the same thing but yeah, dman (the guy behind every good rom) has promised a jb rom for our phone. im so excited that im pretty much checking the forum 5 or 6 times a day.
YAY! Been looking forward to have Jelly Bean version of Android.

Yeah Dman and The Collective are beasts at making roms, and they are very active in the xda community.

Greetings.
I was switching from an MK16i, and i have to say it really worth it! The Captivate Glide beats the Xperia Pro in every aspect, except battery life (it's roughly the same).
i just what to ask all xperia play users which ICS custom rom is best for them. so it can help me decide which one to choose.

In my opinion the best ICS rom for me is the UnOfficial ICS Test Release Xperia Play 4.0.4. Note* If your going to install any ICS custom rom your bootloader has to be unlocked.
Unofficial ics 4.0.4 by mark is the best. Big thank to mark

Paranoid Android. Mark's ICS is 2laggy.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
thanks for the reply folks.. i'm always looking forward for markpython's work.. i think there's a big possiblity that the unofficial ics by mark will the official for xplay bcoz he's working with the sony devs.
Thats cool but since Gameloft, EA and others said that there wont be official update, it will be useless.

But I cant wait for the update 3 from mark

Or are the two platforms completely incompatible?
It's not impossible, but needs a lot of work

Same displays right? Just a different processor, I think. If so should only need a different kernel.

More work then its worth as we have had JB for quite awhile now. We may be able to use some updated bits but porting the whole thing is pretty close to pointless.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I wish there was and update but if not oh well im not changing my mind about getting 1 unless I find a Tablet with similar or better specs for $150
Our unofficial CM10 ROMs already run near flawlessly. Porting seems to be pointless at this time.

Hi, I'm currently using Lg g2x as my daily phone and I'm thinking of changing my phone to xperia ion or htc one s.
My g2x lacks driver support and it is near impossible for me to get an ICS/JB update...
I skimmed through threads and it seems like Wind mobile's Xperia Ion can't get custom roms?
can somebody confirm that for me please? thank you
and how are the support from sony and developers for this phone?
thank you
Odp: How's the support?
If you want custom roms you should buy Xperia S. There is a lot of roms and mods for this great phone.

Xperia S is a good phone (performance) but just read around this phone's section for some bricking incidents. It has been happening without any particular cause to many users. Some manage to recover after looong time (maybe even a week) and some unfortunate guys like me are stuck with a dead brick. Sony claims that I had a hard brick (needs motherboard replacement) but I had done nothing except wiping data in CWM. I don't think that you should buy this phone at all. Just go for any other phone.
Well if you plan to buy Xperia ion,buy either LT28i or LT28h that have bootloader unlock allowed : Yes
And then install your fav custom Rom and kernel

i just came across the nexus 4 price drop... anyone else thinking about it? i guess even if google won't support the phone after 18 months life cycle anymore (which is 9 months from now) - it shouldn't be hard to get the latest droids to work.
Idk Google said its a android version for everyone so hopefully low end phones can get it

If i possible get CM10.2 (android 4.3). I'm sure 4.4 i can get for our play But just need some time tho.

Thats means the rom need some adjustments from the kernel. Or maybe build gone wrong.
