Discuss here about what do you think the final firmware version for Samsung galaxy ace II GT-I8160 would get
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk
4.2.2. Rumoured.

Would gues 4.1.2 was the last update one update is normal for mid and low range
If Touchwiz + 4.4.x is faster than stock 4.1.2, then the final one will be 4.1.2 (you read that right)
Think of the first iPhones with little downgrade protection (last updates were mostly just stripped of features) and the later (each major version is significantly heavier... and you can't go back, although they time it so that the battery will likely be very worn by that time)!

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.

Thanks for the advice acrually I don't wanna flash it will make my S pen useless. So , why did nexus devices got android 4.2.2 early ?
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

The nexus will have 4.3 or 4.4 by the time Samsung gets around to getting a 4.2.2 rom out for the note 2 ... just the way it is .... Nexus is always ahead

You would be better suited to post in your phones forum. This is the sprint note 2 forums (sph-l900) and you're using the international variant (n7100)
I like to break stuff!

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
So I'm getting a new and sparkly Galaxy Note 8 in a few months for my birthday, and I do know how to root and flash.
I'm wondering if it would be worth it to flash a custom ROM onto the device, because the S-Pen relies on so many Samsung applications to be useful, with out the Samsung apps, the S-Pen is nothing but a small finger. (Except, would the proximity work with the S-Pen and jelly bean?)
I'm most definitely going to root my device and install my favourite apps that require root.
Could you please tell me if it's really worth doing, Thanks.
(Sorry for noob-ish post, I've only posted a few times)
[EDIT]: So I'm now thinking weather I should get the new nexus 7 over the note 8, I want the note 8 for it's spen abilities, but the new nexus 7 is an easy-to-root straight from Google device. Thoughts?
I'm rooted, but still on stock. In fact, I intend to stay on stock 4.1.2 because that way I can have cascading floating multi - windows which are just yummy!

I love my note 8.0 . rooted and installed civs reflex ROM. No problems for me, just lack of apps2sdcard.. So I can't get a lot of the good games. Other than that its perfect IMO. Nexus 7 seems just ok, this tablet (may sound weird) but my gf share the tablet by her using pinterest and I'd just watch YouTube or video player while she does that. Multitasking ftw

Buy the new Nexus 7 2013 (2gb ram) with android 4.3 . There is a universal issue with the galaxy note 8: screen momentary freezing, and no one know if it is hardware or software or if the next android update can fix it or not.

It is not hardware cause I've been on custom rom/kernel since day one and never experienced a screen freeze. Betting it will be fixed in future Samsung update.

Must agree, no problems running civs reflex ROM. I know the screen freezing issue because I've been on stock ROM and noticed it. It is very annoying.

I downloaded civ reflex rom last night and I am experiencing the same freezing issue as with the stock 4.1.2 firmware.
I have also flashed CM 10.1 and there were no screen freezing at all. But CM sucking too much battery, I reverted back touchwiz.
The civs rom was created based on stock samsung firmware so I think the bug on this rom is the same with the stock firmware.
I think Samsung will not put out 4.2.2 for the note 8, but instead it would be the 4.3 update, and this would take at least 5 or 6 more months.
I think I am gonna sell this one and buy a nexus 7 (2)
Are u sure u downloaded reflex and not flexbeam? Also I think u have to select his modified rom, if u don't u get the stock kernel. Perhaps I'm wrong, I can't remember my setup. I just know I'm on reflex and running his 2.2 kernel, no screen freeze. I really hated that screen freeze, wouldn't have rooted if it didn't have that!

I'm going to buy a Nexus 7 too, but for personal use, and I will keep the Note 8 for work. To me, they are too different and can't be used for the same purpose. I need the 8 inch screen and the s pen for work. And I need the smaller size and better than retina ppi for comfortably reading eBooks on it. (Having an affordable device with LTE that I can switch at will between Verizon, AT&T or T-mobile, is a nice bonus too!) The screen freezes on the Note 8 have not interfered with my work. But they are really really bugging me when I try to use it for anything other than taking notes.

Will we ever have a new version of software for us?
4.2.2 - missed the timeline
We heard that we will get 4.3 - No words from Samsung yesterday.
Does anybody have an idea about it.
Post on this at least to protest against Samsung about their attitude against our phone. Lets create some pressure on them to release it fast.
Cheers
I have been waiting for 4.3 update or news in 4 september but only received 4.1.2 small (~105mb) performance update yesterday.

You will probably not get the expected 4.3 update till months after the launch of the note 3. Its that simple..
GT N7105 with XDA Premium......that is all......
October ... for compatibility with Galaxy gear smart watch..

please, at least one upgrade for the note 2,i'm bored of 4.1.2
Inviato dal mio GT-N7100 con Tapatalk 2
I would probably be satisfied with 4.1.2 except that I was running 4.2.2 on my Galaxy S in January in already. Ok, admittedly that was a custom rom, but still, to DOWNGRADEfrom a 3 year old device to my shiny new Note ll, and then never get an update is hard to live with and, IMO, entirely unacceptable. I agree that we should make a noise about this and stand up and be counted!

Hello. This davic will get android 4.3?
Sent from my GT-I9195 using xda app-developers app
While I don't have proof, I would say yes. This device is freshly new and let's not forget it's the little brother of the giant S4 and it's definitely bound to get support from Samsung in software updates.
my hope is yes, since it was released on 4.2 its probably to get at least one update
Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk 4
hy,
no s4 mini dont get 4.3 firmware will go direct to 4.4, "from a reliable source"
Perhaps the same way as with the S3 that skipped 4.2 and gets 4.3 next month.
However I dont think the S4 Mini will get 4.4 during its debut, I expect it most likely next year.
I do hope we get a working port of Ubuntu Touch from the Ubuntu Edge phone. Since it coworks with Android and its linux based I hope its available in the future. Ubuntu Touch rocks!

does samsung galaxy note 8.0 will be android 4.3 or 4.4 ? note 2 get android 4.3..sorry bad english
Nobody knows the answer to that yet. My best guess (based on history of updates to the first Samsung 10 inch flagship tablet) is that an update to 4.3 may be possible, but don't expect it until the version after KitKat 4.4 is almost released by Google. I would be surprised if we see it before next summer. Android 4.4 should make it to our tablets in custom ROMs by the developer community. Less likely to be updated by Samsung, but not impossible.
