International will get it relatively soon so devs can add it on pretty quickly I'd imagine. It's not like we'll have to wait on T-Mobile USA lol!
Awesome! I'm sure we won't get any updates until at least october though

Not going to happen soon. The Note 3 is in the works. The Note2 will not get an update until after the Note 3 has been out for a bit.

Hmmm... Good point but they COULD add it on a 4.1.2 update. I don't expect 4.2.2 until N3 is released. That's my OPTIMISTIC guess but we'll see

I bet that's based on the infrared sensor, but I could be wrong. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Absolutely true. Don't expect to get this officially for a really long time. AT&T wants to "approve" and put their crap on it first.

But wouldn't we be able to port the 4.2.2 international GNote2 ROM when it comes out? And, as a plus, it will be exactly the same as the AT&T version minus the bloat?

Ah okay, I've gotcha. I seem to keep forgetting that not everyone chooses to root their phones, haha.
I really dont think Samsung will release 4.2.x for the Note 2. I think it will stay 4.1.2 until the Note 3 comes out. Then, the Note 2 MAY get whatever the Note 3 is running.

Knowing Samsung, they WILL release the update. But knowing AT&T, they probably won't "approve" it for a WHILE. The bloody multiwindow update took what? 2-3 months?

I'm definitely looking forward to the changes and added features. Especially s-translator, I see myself using that many times a day.
Do you guys think that the 4.2.2 Touchwiz will have group messaging? I love everything about touchwiz but if it doesn't have group messaging I can't live without it, that's why I'm on rootbox now. I know I could install a third party app but honestly they all suck compared to cm10.1 mms

I'm rooted, but I've got no reason to flash anything. I didn't even really want the Multiwindow update - I never use it except to show off to iPhone users: " HEY LOOK WHAT MY PHONE CAN DO".
Edit: That being said, I will probably flash a pure, untouched, completely stock International 4.2.2 rom to my NII.

Bgr is reporting the samething.

I think we will probably get those new features after the S4 is out, but I think it will also be packaged as JB 4.2, so I feel we will have both the new features and currently released Android OS, so it will get Panorama shot, lockscreen widgets, etc. If we do get JB 4.2, that will be 2 major OS updates since official release (ICS 4.0 > JB 4.1 > JB 4.2.
I also hope that the Note 1 (I have the international version running on Straight Talk's AT&T and also on T-Mobile's $30/month plan) gets some of the new S4 enhancements and maybe JB 4.2 as well, but that would be a stretch.
Dude this is awesome !

heck, if the apps aren't hardware dependent, someone may be able to just extract the APK and we may able to side load them. Just may need TouchWiz.

Just a little bit. Mostly because there's nothing else to put into ROMs, most are pretty complete.
Sent from Jedi Mind Tricked Galaxy SII X
Phone is old now. Not obsolete, but very outdated at this point. A lot of people including myself upgrade every 2 years or so or when performance essentially doubles. Basically when an upgrade can not only be seen, but felt. People are moving on to bigger and better devices. To add, development for this phone is on its way to the grave. The phone has AOSP 4.2.2 and the last official update it's ever going to get, TW 4.1.2. Something that can't be said for most other phones from its time. Which is a surprise to me because as the crappiest version of the GS2 line, I didn't expect the t989 to get more dev support than its exynos powered siblings.
Angwho, I digress. What more do you want?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I agree with most of what above poster said. This phone has fewer and fewer users every week. So development with reflect this.
As far as worst s2....nope, that would be my wife's bell s2 hd lte, i757m. Only one active jelly bean rom....no official jelly bean coming apparently, and its newer than the t989d. Lol

Yeah nothing mentioned about any variant besides the international S2. Not saying we won't get 4.2, but imo the realistic chances of it are virtually nonexistent.

I agree. It's difficult to imagine Samsung or the carriers investing any further for devices with a relatively limited user population. I just wanted to share what @hatememarkz might have been referring to...which could very well be legitimate (but perhaps also irrelevant?)

makes sense. the Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition comes with 4.3. S4 owners have been downloading that ROM lately. I just got a S4 with 4.2.2 and the differences from 4.1.2 are not a big deal. They reorganized the settings menu from what I can tell. You can have widgets on the lock screen (just like custom ROMs), but only if you don't use a password or pattern lock. I use a pattern lock, so those widgets can't be used.

Love that I don't really need custom Roms with GN2 but wish I had the latest features...
Over at Android Central, Samsung announced they are skipping the 4.2.2 update for our devices in the US anyways, waiting a little longer, and dropping us 4.3 instead. Only thing now is the official release date, but as far as us getting 4.3...it is official. I'm more excited then I was for 4.2.2., so. Note 2 is still a powerhouse, so it does deserve this.

Use the Kies3 from Samsung to keep an eye out for the OTA. Much faster to update to 4.4 KK then waiting for your carrier to push it
