I believe I read in quite a few places that it's going to be Key Lime Pie. Kandy kane is actually spelled "candy cane."

I think it will be called as "Key Lime Pie" :fingers-crossed:

Key lime pie sounds so retarded, I hope its Kandy kane

Kandy kane sounds more retarded as you know the word candy starts with C Not K.

It should be different. If I do naming I will name it Kalakand. It is delicious Indian sweet dish.

Krispy Kreme is the name of a brand chain doughnut stores not a sweet dish.
Definitely google will not name Krispy Kreme.

Most likely it will be Key Lime Pie and will be released around Christmas time (Thus the Candy Cane).

I think releasing a new os just after releasing jb would piss off customers. I mean I know this community is all about the next update but why not just allow the defragmentation to even out instead of making I worse. I personally believe if anything that Google will not release anything until next year if anything. Did you guys forget about the announcement of jb just a few months ago. Google would be stupid to update to a new is version. So soon. They already had ICS and jb in a year + span. Did t they say they would do at least two a year or less to reduce fragmentation?

Candy cane is not a dessert right?
I'm guessing Key Lime Pie since Google name ROMs after desserts

They release new versions on a 6 month schedule. This has been happening for a while now.

You are so right! Google should just lay off all of their developers until next year.
I don't know if you know anything about software development, but it is a neverending process. You don't put a new version out and then stop working for 6 months. The dev's at Google are working at least 40 hours a week on nothing but Android. When enough changes are made to the current version that warrants a release, that is when it happens. They are not going to wait on OEM's and carriers to update their existing products first.

Gingerbread: December 2010
Honeycomb: Febrary 2011 (Fast/Temp/OnlyForTablet OS to compete with tablet market)
Ice Cream Sandwhich: October 2011
JellyBean: July 2012 (and I think it was anticipated to lunch the nexus 7 in the "right time" to compete with other tablets)
I would say the release a new OS once a year in normal condition.
My guess:
Key Lime Pie: November 2013 (Completely interface redesign, finally an homogeneus interface maybe)
I think we will see some JB updates with stability and interface fixes, 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.4, etc

When are we getting 4.2.x

Samsung did not promise anyone that u buy their handset and we will give free upgrades every now and then , do you get free upgrade from windows xp to windows 7 to windows 8 for free? NO it takes a lot time and money to develop , Samsung would not just update all the incremental updates google provides ...

We'll probably get it when they release it. Usually within a few hours.

Up to 18 months of releasing a set they are bound to give updates! Do you know that?
Samsung is definitely better than other brands atm, hTC, Sony etc, for providing faster updates, but that's a different thing.

The difference here is that those operating systems are things you actually have to buy, whereas android is free.
But back on topic: OP you barely even given them time to react. It takes a while to develop these things, so they take at least a couple of months to release. I mean, look at the galaxy s2 and its ICS release, that was their flagship phone for a while and even on that it took months for ics to be released on it.

You surely know nothing about One Alliance protocol followed by all the companies who use Android OS for their cell.
Its a guideline stated by Google that OEM must support a device that they bring out for 18 months since the time of release.
Now this is a very good guideline as it helps us sort good brands from stupid brands..for eg- motorola
Also google cant force any company to release updates. The company is at fault if it doesnt and they are responsible for getting a bad name then.

As a user who uses both Apple and Android (Samsung) devices, I find that this is still quite a major flaw for android phone manufacturers. My father still uses an iPhone 3GS and that is still receiving updates from Apple, nearly 4 years since it was released.
This is the first time i've heard of the "One Alliance protocol" so hopefully it's a step in the right direction.
Other than that, I'm sure users of older phones can hopefully flash custom roms of higher OS releases for their phone.

Sorry if i sound like a noob
4.2 was released 3+ months back. Currently my nexus 7 is running on 4.2.1 and this week would be 4.2.2 . Now then why is wrong to ask a question that samsung has not been keen on releasing 4.2 updates instead of stupid increments on 4.1.x which have been a major letdown.
Battery life has gone down from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 while i was expecting the opposite. 4.2 has much more refined codebase for battery and performance.
Now am I being unreasonable for asking the question?

Who would buy the s4 if note 2 had 4.2.2 already
They would update the note 2 two months after they sell 20 million s4
If you want 4.2 for the dash clock ... flash aokp or Cyanogenmod rom

Android OS upgrades are completely unrelated to what you just described about Windows. I purchase my windows and get updates free of charge throughout its product life cycle which stretches to even a decade. Going back to topic its Samsungs obligation to support its devices sold and keep them up to date atleast while the phone is relatively recent. Its what consumers want its why most people buy the latest phones. I bought my note 2 not because of its hardware alone, let alone its cheap build quality, but also because i expect to get the latest updates soon and not when its outdated.

I think we will get it soon. Google will release a newer version than 4.2.x and the new update we will first get it after they have released s4

My guess is the middle or end of July and key lime pie by October since that's when the Moto X might be released and Google wants to have Motorola flagship phone on the newest version of android.Im thinking they wont release a new nexus device this year and the Moto X will be there nexus for this year with stock android and a few good customizations such as their 3 ring clock widget,quick setting,smart actions etc. from Razr HD line of phones.

We all thought they wouldn't release a nexus device last year, but then they hit the nexus 4 to the market. I really don't know any more. They have become less predictable. Which I really don't mind. I kind of enjoy the guessing game. I think I can surely say key lime pie (4.3 possibly) will be released this year.

This.
Also, I believe 4.3 will drop sometime this fall, around Oct. or Nov., because that's when the next Nexus is rumored to be released.
And apparently, it is likely going to be made by LG again and not Motorola as suggested above.

I'm just waiting to be able to run an AOSP ROM with Bluetooth AVRCP. So I guess as soon as they release the source ...
thanks for all the feedback.

I wonder what new features Google could possibly pack into 4.3? I think 4.3 will be a minor update, then KLP will hit us hard!!

Google need to slow it down so everyone can catch up to the latest Android operating system. To many updates and os versions make it hard for developers. One or two updates is good enough google keep going and going.

u heard it right they have rolled out Jb Android 4.3 (JWR66V) for nexus 4 and other for nexus 7,10 etc

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

How come nexus devices get updates 1st?

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.

Will people stop talking about the s4 sales. They just posted they made over 6.6 billion which is up from last year.
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

Samsung is directly monitoring the Note II General forums, and they delay in a couple of weeks the launch every time someone starts a topic about it.

"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.

5.0 Key Lime Pie & the Future of Android

I was thinking earlier today about what is to come in the future of android. I am thinking that 5.0 key lime pie (if google even decides to call it that) will be card based with a new style launcher that will change everything people think about when they hear the word android. I think it's going to be a huge update.
I want to know what everyone else thinks that 5.0 is going to be like.

The S4 was promised updates up to Key Lime Pie, so it will either be late this year or some time next year; but it likely won't be the first phone to receive it.
