Who's doing Jelly Bean First? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I'm sure it will come along shortly enough, curious as to who will take the lead on this one.

Me too...... I was wondering the same cuz the devs at A500 are already at work it seems

They spent 900 bucks plus airfare to get to IO I don't think anyone will touch Jelly Bean until source is released in mid July. SDK ports are buggy as all get out and nothing more than proof of concept. We still won't have a fully functional ROM until LG releases ICS source. On the bright side, drivers should be able to be ported from ICS to JB, until GB to ICS.

i see Paul at modaco.com already has JB rom w/kitchen for the galaxy nexus the G2x versions will be uber gimped due to lg's inability to release the source to the dev community. reason why i sold my g2x for a gnex and haven't looked back.

I want to get an s2 but I have a problem spending around $400 for a used phone with the possibility of the IMEI being potentially locked due to the seller NOT paying the hardware payments for the device to Tmobile.

Galaxy Nexus is brand new from Google for $350 now. Plus, it'll be getting Jellybean officially in 2 weeks.

Holy ****, and that's with no contract attached? I opened the link but I didn't read all the way through it.
Someone needs to tell the idiots on craigs list to stop asking more than 350 for their used, potentially screwed over Nexus'.

I thought the Galaxy Nexus was sold on Tmobile's site, I guess not. Either way, will definitely look into this as my next phone.

nope! its a nexus brand so it will get updates first since google is handling the code/updates directly. i assume google has the source for the kernel and of course resources/connections with nvidia. whereas lg just wants to sell more phones than update older ones (prev g2x owner).
thats why i love the pure google nexus phones

Haven't the previous Google direct Galaxy phones been outdated rather quickly? Maybe not outdated, but left behind in terms of OTA's and things like that?
I mean, people will argue the galaxy s2 is a better phone than Nexus...and now the s3 just came out! For one (only one?) of the only devices to come pre-packaged with ICS, it seems to lack certain functionality and features that carrier specific phones have.

There is a dude I work with who has the Galaxy Nexus and loves it, in person the thing is beautiful...probably one of the nicest phones I've seen, well, besides the white Galaxy s2. I have a thing for phones that are all white, super clean looking, and I hate putting cases on my phones.
I baby my g2x, I have one of the LG branded ones that isn't directly related to a carrier. At my desk, that thing never sits on the direct surface, only on a stack of post-its, haha.

Gingerbread for Infuse

I am looking into upgrading to the infuse, but I'm a bit leary at this point. What is the status of the GB ROMs? Is there a stable version at this point? Thanks and I apologize if this has been asked already.
A few if you look in the development section, and there will likely be more once GB is officially released to the infuse later this month(if you believe AT&T).

Infused v2 is quite stable - it's missing HDMI and the data speeds are a little wonky (It will likely remain this way until AT&T releases GB), but it's the daily driver for a lot of people.
CM7 is less stable - however it's the daily driver for a lot of people. Most of the known issues are pretty clearly spelled out.
nopcodex90 and h8rift have ROMs in progress. nop is doing final polish-up (he was going to release a beta but decided against it after seeing the Infused v2 threads go downhill), h8rift is waiting until after AT&T GB is released.
Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate it

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze?

So here we go, another Samsung/T-Mobile fail. Why do they always do this. They always bring out the same headset with just some minor changes.
Why not get the Galaxy Nexus already?
If T-Mobile didn't have such good customer service and cheap plans I would of cancelled a long time ago. We always seem to get the short end of the stick.
Guess what's gonna happen when this is released. Even less development, that's what. Grrrr.

The most puzzling thing is that it has the same specs as the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, but is branded as a Galaxy S device.
I'm sorry but as valid as these responses get thus is ridiculous. Just return the phone and wait if it bothers you so much. This phone prob won't be out for another six months. By then when you buy it some "better" phone will be announced. What are you hoping to buy that is future proof?

Yeah, this one should come with ICS since there is no Nexus yet, but of course it won't.
Like previous post it has the same specs, but this one will probably have an HD screen on it. #lame

It seems to me like this is a dumbed down version of the GSII. First of all they are calling it a "Galaxy S" instead of Galaxy S II, and the screen is called "Super Amoled", but not Super Amoled Plus or HD.

Samsung probably figured out how to fix our screen issues with the lines and blotches and decided that instead of admitting fault and having to fix all the sold phones with the issue they could just release a new model with no issues and a better res to make money instead of losing it... guess ill probably wait for the galaxy s3 hd blaze... n this whole galaxy fiasco is starting to remind me of the iphone adding a letter or number to the end without really even upgrading anything in the phone

No LTE yeah, but really wasn't your life chugging fine until now anyways? Realistically, if I got to choose again, I'd take the nexus over the skyrocket. The software pains are absolutely horrible compared to the HSPA pains.
There's always the future software upgrades, nexus will keep you on top of them for at least two revisions, don't expect that from AT&T.

4.2 ROMS

So everyone knows that today was the official announcement of android 4.2 and the devices that will have them pre-installed. How long do you guys think it will take to get a ROM up for the GS3?

Well depends when the source is released then complied and bug tested and posted here. I would say 2 days to 2 months depending how much it has to be tweaked to run right.
Samsung has a headstart probably because of its galaxy nexus series phones,so probably other galaxy series phones will get it fast too?? i would say less than one month from now.SGS 3 is still one of Samsung's flagship models still though. :good:

Regardless, you'll probably see some AOSP merges in roms including 4.2 within a week of then, I'd be willing to bet. Whether they're stable or not is a whole new question......
EDIT: Ninja'd........haha

I agree with tech as soon we can get our hands on it someone will have the success to port it, but it won't be anything like a regular rom until the source is released. I'd say it shouldn't take no more than a few weeks for us to see 4.2

They are famous for their time consuming ROM testing and evaluation process for delivering a perfect device that we have to root and ROM to get it to run like it should !

Samsung Galaxy S4 “Google Edition” to be announced at Google IO

not sure if this is pure bs or if its real.. but if its the real deal then its fantastic!
Google’s big yearly conference is often the stage for new products, and this year is promising to be bigger than any other. Despite shifting from two smaller keynotes to one larger keynote, Google is ready to put on quite a show tomorrow. Part of the big day will be to announce a new version of Samsung’s latest flagship, the Galaxy S4. While Samsung’s phone is an incredible piece of hardware, many users find themselves less than pleased with Samsung’s version of Android. To resolve this once and for all, a pure AOSP version of the Galaxy S4 is being prepped for launch and will be unveiled during the IO keynote.
Not to be confused with a Nexus phone, which is a piece of hardware made with Google’s guiding hand, the Galaxy S4 GE will feature stock Android inside the familiar plastic casing. According to sources on hand at Google IO, this Google Edition phone is a collaboration between Samsung and Google to address a growing group of users that prefer stock Android on something other than a Nexus. In order to accomplish this right now, users would need to install custom versions of Android like CyanogenMod. Complete with removable battery and expandable storage with the MicroSD card slot, this phone could certainly address this growing niche.
This Google Edition S4 is expected to be made available starting in June and will be available on T-Mobile bands. At this time we are unaware of pricing or whether more bands will be made available. It’s also unclear if Samsung will be selling the phone or if it will be available through the Google Play Store.

If this is true I will be so happy. Touchwiz is the only thing holding me back from this phone.
Not every piece of news needs a new thread.
Woah.. I hope it is true. Although I don't mind touch wiz. I'm curious if they will use the same 600 cpu or 800

They won't use a new CPU it wouldn't be an S4.

Eh depends. If they release it later on this summer then there's a chance. I'm sure Google would really consider it.

I doubt this but I've seen crazier things happen.
That would piss me off a ridiculous amount. I am locked into a two-year contract with this phone that might not even be reliably unlockable. Then Samsung pulls this ****, weeks after releasing their phone. This is what is wrong with Android.

You realize Touchwiz is much more than just a launcher, right?

I think this is more promising to the devs that work on aosp style roms. They'll be able to make roms that are extreamly stable with very few bugs.

If this is true, i hope they keep the lg nexus for sale. Like a cheaper alternative. Lower the price for it while they also have the s4 ge with more features for sale.. & let's not forget the white nexus picture has been leaked. I guess we'll find out in a couple hours.
Great Achievement..Thanks for sharing......

I realize that I'm in the minority here but I personally prefer touchwiz. Ran touchwiz roms on my SGS2 and I intend to run them when we have custom recovery on our SGS4's. For me, that's what makes the difference between buying a Samsung or a Motorola or an LG.
That said, this is a smart move on Samsung's part (if true of course.) You get the advantage of officially supported AOSP with LTE and a warranty. If it's successful I could see others following suit and offering their hardware when a choice of AOSP or their own flavor of android.
