No kidding. One X with Jellyean will be awesome.
JB rolls out in Mid July

ya we will get it sometime in mid 2013 rofl

Hopefully it won't take long to port Jellybean once HTC releases the damn ICS source. Lots of cool features, but nothing that strikes me as difficult to implement. The only thing I'd worry about is the new rendering engine playing nice with the S4 right off the bat.

We will get it..Don't you worry...once we have the source I am confident that we will get aokp and cm with 4.1

Every time I look at HTC Dev I get angry. This is ridiculous.

since google is releasing the PDK for oems and stuff, os upgrades should be much faster now since they are given to them 3 MONTHS AHEAD. Plenty of time to fix bugs and make it compatible for the given device.

The tablet (nexus 7) is being given away with jelly bean already on it. So i'm guessing it shouldn't take long.

If im not mistaken I believe in the keynote they said that it wasn't the final release 4.1 yet.

the ota for jelly bean is already out to install.

It is... crazy.

don't know if this is a placebo affect, but JB on the GNex appears very fluid and responsive. and i definitely like the new notifications in the status bar. downside for me (at the moment) is that Apex Launcher os FC'ing and SwiftKey and Swype seem to be a glitchy. will breath new life into my trusty "play" phone!

it should be smoother considering they were praising their "project butter" all over the place

Anyone get a chance to pull out some of the apks and give them a test run?

[Q] When is 4.1 jelly bean being released?

You knew this question was going to come. Now that 4.1 has been announced, when are we getting ours?

This will take a longer time for sure, as HTC is still busy to release ICS

Jellybean dev kits are supposed to be released mid july. At least that's what this source says: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/06/27/google-announces-android-41-jelly-bean/
But it may be a while before we get a working ROM.

Given the time it took the CM team to release CM9 RC1, I'd say 6 months!

what about this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736699

While ICS is quite nice, it is hard not to want the latest, greatest thing on our devices Still, at least the Nexus 7 is available to fulfil the JB goodness until it's available. That may end up replacing my Nook Color which hasn't been used in a month since it's ac adapter gave up the ghost.

HTC says they "don't yet have an announcement" for Jelly Bean on existing devices.
... I can't post a link because <10 posts, but there is an article on pocket-lint.com

That will only lead to an anemic SDK ROM. sure it will show us the cool new features, but I wouldn't expect much. I wonder how long it takes to hit AOSP

Since i'm assuming jellybean isn't as big of a change internally as ICS was from gingerbread it'll be a shorter wait. Still I wouldn't expect anything shorter than like Oct of this year.

Actually most of the changes are internal. I think project butter is a big internal change. Although the One S is already very smooth, squeezing more performance out of the S4 is a welcomed thing

Google doesn't care
I remember reading recently that Google knows about fragmentation but isn't worried about it. Now that I'm tempted to buy a media device to have the latest and greatest software, I can see how fragmentation can actually work for Google because now more and more people will look to buy nexus devices.

the main reason i got a HTC phone is because unlike Samsung's strange choice in hardware it dosnt take 5 months to port a fast stable release from the MOD team unlike HTC
lets hope this takes off !

Didn't HTC already confirm the TB for an upgrade?

HTC didn't cancel the Desire update, Canadian carrier Tellus canceled it due to bad performance. Even with Tellus jumping the gun and canceling the update, HTC has said it would move forward with developing updates for all Desire models.
Quite frankly this is a big part of the problem, instead of the carrier pushing HTC to do better and not accepting failure, they decided to screw their customers.

Not for the Thunderbolt. Everything that doesn't have to do with the radios works as devs are still waiting on RIL.

The Thunderbolt will most likely never see jellybean. We are lucky enough to be considered for ICS
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium

I personally don't think jellybean is going to run worth a crap in this phone. The vsyncing that was thrown in jellybean is resource intensive and I don't think the hardware of the thunderbolt can handle that. Ics will run good I'm sure but jellybean throws a wrench into things because of vsync timers.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

Wouldn't devs just be able to disable the VSync feature? I mean, CM has a lot of under-the-hood tweaks. I'm sure with full source they'll be able to port forward the ICS code, worst case. I can't imagine 4.0 to 4.1 as being anything but incremental.

That vsync feature is one of the things that makes jellybean great because the phones that can handle it and can utilize that feature will see great improvements to the smoothness of the ui.

Way I see it, if Verizon decides to **** block ICS for us, they owe us a free upgrade. People talk about getting better phones just by *****ing... This would be more of a reason imho... Paired with some aforementioned *****ing, that is.

Thanks, that's the funniest thing I've read today... oh, wait, you were serious?
Looks like ICS may NOT come to the T'bolt and, as we all should know by now, if we don't get a T'bolt ICS the devs can't make ROMs for us.

That article adds no new information and is just speculation. Regrettably I tend to agree with what it's saying, but it's not like someone dropped the other shoe. Hopefully we'll at least get a leak with a working ril, even if HTC decides to puss out on us too.

Unless HTC and VZW release ICS for the T'bolt there can't be a leak with a working ril, can there? Any ril that works for the T'bolt would exist ONLY in a T'bolt ICS release unless a dev can build an ril from scratch?

Agreed but there won't be a leak if HTC and VZW don't create a ROM. The rumored soak test has produced no leak so far, I heard (who knows if it's true or not?) that the NDA had sufficient teeth in it that none of the testers would leak it.... so *IF* the soak test really happened or is happening then we can believe in one hell of an NDA because there is no leak AFAIK.
FWIW, I really don't care much, HTC's website says IF the T'bolt gets ICS it'll have Sense 3.6 and will NOT get sense 4.x because of performance issues and that makes me think two things:
1. The T'bolt really doesn't have the horsepower to run ICS with Sense 4.x and so
2. We're better off with a good ROM and Gingerbread than we will be with ICS.
However, I can upgrade in... well, never. So.... I'll keep running my current ROM(s) and see what happens and what shows up on Ebay!

If Desire HD can't handle ICS, what's with the Desire C??
Well,.....I call BS on the Desire HD or the Thunderbolt not being able to handle ICS or Sense 4.0.
It's clearly a marketing strategy to sell new devices and nothing more.
If it were true that the Desire HD could not run ICS and Sense 4.0 acceptably, then why in God's name would HTC be releasing the Desire C?
Has anyone checked out the specs on that ICS Sense 4.0 device?
CHECK IT OUT
So yeah, I call BS!!!!

That desire c is really low end hardware but yet can run the newest software. Definitely a marketing strategy on htc's part by not giving us the best software. Our phones are more than capable of running it. Another example is the one v. Same specs as ours

You guys are lucky you might get jelly bean. Apple can't bother to try to get HTC devices banned because they're not actually a threat. Even if they were, HTC would be lazy and simply remove any infringing software. Us over at the sensation forum have a nearly working jelly bean rom but we won't have front facing camera working without official HTC kernel. Is it the same for you guys?

Virtually everything is working perfectly. Camera F+B, video, (Netflix on some builds),etc. The only problems are random reboots / freezing when screen is off but those have drastically reduced recently. There are even mounting of both internal and external SD on R4ins build although torch locks up when screen is off on his build. Our community took jb and ran with it. Daily driver for sure, at least for people who know what there doing and aren't scared of a hiccup or two along the way.
Best of luck getting yours functioning properly

There is no official JB for the Skyrocket yet, but you can get Vincom's Rom AKA VinRom if you go under developement its there. Not official but its the best ROM out there yet...Fast and very good.

Well take a look at how long it took us to get ICS. I believe we had a official release back in june and the unofficial leak back in December. So if we do get a leak I don't think we'll see one till mid 2013. Also keep in mind that the S3 is out so S2's are now obsolete.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

R4INS' AOKP Jellybean Sept-5 build (with InstigatorX kernel, of course) is definitely the most stable and feature-packed variety of Jellybean available on the Skyrocket right now. I'd be surprised to ever see an official leaked for this device because the S3 replaced the relevance of the entire S2 line.

There are conflicting reports. This one from SamMobile seems to both confirm and leave it in doubt.
Ok, the insiders of SamMobile reported to us that all high-end Galaxy devices will get the Jelly Bean update.
In other words, the Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 10.1 and Galaxy S III.
When we asked Samsung Benelux about this they told us that they couldn’t tell us anything about the updates.

I disagree. As long as we have good, dedicated developers, the SR is not obsolete. There is little an S3 can do that a SR cannot. Our SR's even have an advantage in some areas over the S3, not the least of which is a long, strong history of quality development. Some users prefer the shape and physical build-quality of the SR over the S3, too.
Obsolete? Skyrockets, especially rooted and modded ones, are way beyond most if the smartphone market.

I have a Nexus as one of my devices and 4.1 is pretty damn nice, but we'll get Jellybean with a new version of Sense. I had Touchwiz JB on my GS3 and it still wasn't as great as my ICS One X, feature wise.

All the articles I"ve read have said just before Christmas for At&t for the One X jelly bean update. I would love to see it in early November but the reality of it is that AT&T is horrible at releasing updates quickly so I'm not getting too excited. But if rogers updates earlier than AT&T we will all be able to enjoy it thanks to the Dev's here
