Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to Receive Android 5.0 aka Keylime - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

According to a*Samsung*insider, the OEM is currently making plans to upgrade certain devices to the upcoming Android 5.0 operating system. From what was reported, it looks like the Galaxy S3 and*Galaxy S4*can expect to see it, as well as the Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Tab 10.1, and Galaxy Note 8.0. Android 5.0, which is rumored to be named*Key Lime Pie, should be unveiled at this year’s*Google I/O*event in May.*As for which*current*older devices are getting the bump up to Android 4.2.2, the list is pretty impressive. There is the Galaxy S3 mini, the Galaxy S2 and most of its variants, the OG Galaxy Note, and a ton of other non-top tier devices.It’s nice to hear about OEM’s staying on top of the ball when it comes to updates to Android.

really way to jump to gun so by the time we get actual ota official we will probably be on 6.2 apple pie since we have not even been officially updated with 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 at least that out officially before you go to the next OS

If it is it would be something cool like liquid metal like the terminator 2 villian. That would make a cool boot animation andy forming into a pool of liquid metal then forming right behind the apple logo then skewering it.

If 5.0 releases in May, the Note 3 September/October. We will see 5.0 for our Note 2 December/January maybe the earliest. The original note is still waiting for jelly bean is it not? Samsung treats current devices with fast updates. Once the are no longer current its "when we get to it"

Please, if you knew anything about the alphabet the way the order goes is L after Keylime pie. So it would be something like Lemon meringue. After that, it would be macaroon, or MORON.

Updates to GNex first.

As you may have noticed google releases updates first to it's devices. Of course I'm curious to know when the next will be, not that I hate JB, but updates are so exciting. I bought the GSM phone from the play store, so I should receive the updates first, right? Last thing, has KLP been confirmed?

The Google guys can't be that retarded to release a new version of android when there are no other phones with jelly bean besides the nexus s and gnex. I think the next major update (aka klp) will be announced june - july 2013. Till then we will get minor updates (4.1.2, 4.1.3...)

A new nexus is always released with a new system version if history is to repeat itself.
Nexus One - Eclair/Froyo
Nexus S - Gingerbread

Assuming history is followed we should be able to expect a new version with the next nexus. But we must keep in mind googles plan for 1 major update/year and with that in mind it could be June when we get our next major release.

are you kidding me? the facts he gave you about the different Nexus phones are EASILY google-able.
the rest is just him speculating anyways, which accomplishes nothing other than to sort of semi-satisfy your "blind curiosity" that is clearly you just trying to blind us with the fact that you're LAZY to look it up yourself.
Go to rumor sites if you want speculation, this is NOT rumor site, and this forum for the Nexus even less-so.

You can always flash one.... If you're looking for an official release I would certainly say yes. How long remains unknown. The GSIII and Note2 are Samsung's flagship phones... and 2 of the best phones on the market. It will come, just a matter of how long.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app
Because the Nexus IS "the google phone" It's Google's very own. It's made by various companies depending on which one (previous "google" phones), but it's "vanilla" meaning it has no UI on top of it. Example: HTC phones have "Sense". Samsung has "Touch Wiz" It takes time for Samsung to implement their stuff on top of the new OS.
Ok ok thanks

We'll get 4.2 TWiz ROMs when we get 4.2 TWiz ROMs. Which will be sometime, who knows when. A leaked GS3 4.2 build appeared in the wild today FWIW.
This phone runs awesome on the current version. I'm very content

jelly bean 4.3???

I just heard from CNET that nexus is going to get 4.3 jellybean,
when will we get official 4.2 or 4.3? or atleast a ROM which has both CM features and Touchwiz features :/

so as far samsung is concerned it will take atleast 3 months from now if we are lucky or maybe even end of this year but yes the good news is that samsung has confirmed the 4.3 update for note2 but have not commented anything on the release date yet

Because Nexus devices are devices that are made by Google's standards and android is developed for this devices by Google themselves. Then with the android source code (AOSP) manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, Sony etc etc. are free to make their own rom for it, this is why it will always follow later, especially 'cause they have to make sure it is completely bugfree. Next to the big manufacturers we have ofcourse developers like CyanogenMod team and other good developers (i.e. from XDA!) who provide us from great roms too, and some even better than the stock samsung roms.

So they didn't sell as many as they wanted. Well the s3 is still an awesome phone so why would everyone just to an s4

"Crap" is relative. One could call CM10.x crap for the Note 2, as it doesn't have the S-Pen features, leaving the device rather crippled compared to TW.

No, TW compared to CM actually is crap. CM S Pen Add-on, Note Buddy and Papyrus and S Pen features (incl. Pulling in or out detection) work perfectly.
definitely by the time samsung releases official 4.3 there will be 4 to 5 more threads on the same topic for sure
By the time Sammy is almost ready to release 4.3, Key Lime Pie 5.0 will be out and they will then decide to skip 4.3 for Note II and go directly to 5.0.
I am having issues building cm.
I just know how to initiate a build , I don't know how to fix because I don't know any programming language.

I for one... am hopeful.
And this is why, I had the note 2, and am now on the note 3, Sammobile posted that 4.3 was being tested for note 2 as of 9/25/13 and all the leaked documents show that it should be released (on all carries) the end of this month or beginning of december
So, with the news that 4.4 is being tested for note 3, if (big if) they follow a similar time table, within 3 months we should have the update...
Again... this is being very hopeful. just my opinion. we will see what happens.

I have rooted/unlocked about 10 diff phones over the past 4yrs and would have agreed with you up until a short while ago. The AOSP camera is no where as great quality as a "stock" phone ever is. Reason being, the drivers are not open source. Now that I have a baby, the reason I went with the Note 3 is due to its amazing camera/camcorder, which will not even be remotely close on AOSP. Thats the reason why I will always stick with a TW ROM. I have xposed and other mods done, so its pretty much AOSP to me anyways.
I remember coming to XDA many moons ago to get fixes for my Ipaq 6513 - Windows mobile phone. There was no such thing as Android then. Those phones needs fixes like mad and XDA was here to work things out. I will only use a custom rom when the stock rom isn't up to par. That being said, I see no reason to apply a custom rom to the N3 or the N2. They were perfect out the box. CM is sorely lacking compared to TW.
Sammy may release a 4.4 update next month but I doubt T-Mobile will release it before March.
Note 2 Update will hit Dec. 2 for T-Mobile.
Rep said the same today.. I called for a question regarding a Wifi bug and all she pulled up was Kitkat update for Note 3.(it was unexpected) but she did say its in testing.
I'll be waiting for the TW update ...

I have rooted/unlocked about 10 diff phones over the past 4yrs and would have agreed with you up until a short while ago. The AOSP camera is no where as great quality as a "stock" phone ever is. Reason being, the drivers are not open source. Now that I have a baby, the reason I went with the Note 3 is due to its amazing camera/camcorder, which will not even be remotely close on AOSP. Thats the reason why I will always stick with a TW ROM. I have xposed and other mods done, so its pretty much AOSP to me anyways.

Agreed 100%. I hate the AOSP camera, it's the most basic, crappy, unintuitive thing I've ever used. I have a cat that I love to take pictures of(why yes, I AM single! lol) and every time I tried an AOSP rom on my N2 I found myself cursing the camera & searching for a decent alternative. Nothing beats the voice-controlled option-rich TW cam, as far as I'm concerned
When I bought my Note 2 the news that 4.3 was coming. Note 3 came out and never received 4.3
I'll believe it when I see it.
