Hello everyone, as the title, I wanted to know if my Galaxy S2 will receive as an official update Android 4.2.
Thank you all for the answer
Doubt it. Manufacturers usually only give a maximum of 2 years of updates. S2 has already had ICS and will probably stop at Jelly bean.

but 4.2 is JB?
Nope. Android Jelly Bean is 4.1
Android 4.2 will be probably named key lime pie, but there isnt any official info.
SGS2 won't get update to 4.2 if it will be cause Samsung devs considered update to 4.1
I hope Samsung support 4.2 for Galaxy S II, waiting...
I Don't have high hopes either for a 4.2 update, sure i'll be eating these words when they do decide to upgrade the firmware

Samsung announced that there were several devices other than the S3 (their latest) that will get Jelly Bean update.
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_announces_list_of_devices_that_will_get_jelly_bean-news-4853.php
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00050212&fm_seq=55187 This is mostly for the S3 series.
Code:
The list includes the following devices:
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
Galaxy Note 10.1
Galaxy S II
Galaxy Note
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
Galaxy S Advance
Galaxy S II LTE
Galaxy Music
Galaxy Chat
Galaxy Ace 2
I8530 Galaxy Beam
Galaxy Ace Plus
Galaxy Mini II
Galaxy S Duos
It was announced by Samsung that these devices will also get official jelly bean. As for if our devices will officially get it we don't know. Our phone is considered Galaxy S II LTE but we dont know yet as our phone is also labeled Skyrocket and there is also an international version labeled Galaxy S II LTE. But if the original Galaxy S II will get it there is a good chance we will also get it but that all depends on Samsung -> ATT.
On the better side we are on the list on CM10 M2 that were released yesterday and so far 4.1.2 has been really good, may have minor kinks here and there but so far its good for a daily driver. So if you want to test drive Jelly Bean you can try out the various builds in the developmental forums. There is the CM10 and AOKP then theres various customized ROMs by other users where they tweak it even more for a better jelly bean experience. :good:
Based on the list here: http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/manufacturer.php?m=101 I can't find the international SII LTE, and based on the specs I found online, it looks like our phone (dual core, where doesn't the international version (whatever it's called) have 4?).
I have heard sometime in Q4, which means any time before the end of the year. That said, CM10 has official nightlies for our phone and AOKP has what should be considered an official build as well. Both work well, as do any of the many builds out there based on those.

The i9210 is the international version and labelled officially as Galaxy S2 LTE the specs are really similar to the skyrocket but not exactly the same for example CPU is the same maker and speed but slight different model. The size of the phone is slightly different and they have the international design for button placement (2 touch buttons one home button in the center which they made standard with the S3 rather than having different designs) so we may or may not get it officially but I wouldn't fret too much about it as we already have a working build.

Were you looking for JellyBean or were you looking for TouchWiz? As many have mentioned, the SkyRocket already has an official CM10 ( JellyBean).
I think you might be asking for an official TouchWiz JellyBean ROM. I would hope to see Samsung leaks for a TWJB ROM soon.
No official word for our device yet.

I think he meant official Samsung ROM, not CM10. I'm to looking forward to get JB official ROM if it's ever coming out.
I love NFC so having a custom ROM wont do it for me, if NFC is available on one of the custom JB ROM ill give it a try.

NFC is a hardware function. Every ROM I've tried has it built in, as long as the hardware supports it.
I can confirm that it works on SlimBean. I transferred several pictures to my mom's S3 via NFC.

Thank you for the info. I know some Skyrocket ROMS that dont have NFC working (according to the builder). But will give a try to SlimBean.
Are there any developers currently working on a port for the Jelly Bean 4.2 update? I ask because the Nexus S and Nexus S 4G have been left in the dark as far as receiving an OTA update.
Thanks to anyone with an answer and a glimmer of hope lol.
the official source is out there and a new sdk, but no official update for the nexus s, so it will take some time to port..
.. AND THE F***IN NEXUS $ IS SOLD OUT!!!
Google has just announced that the Nexus S and the Xoom will not get an official update for the new Android 4.2.

When android rolls out with 4.3, will users with the galaxy tab 2 10.1 still be supported as far as development with custom ROMs goes? Without making anyone mad here I'm going to ask another way... Will I ever see android 4.3 on a tablet I purchased a little over a month ago? It is keeping me up all night searching for answers and I'm at my ropes end.
Thanks for reading.
P.s I should have sprung the extra hunskie for the note 2 huh?

The custom roms will always be there...if the hardware will allow it we'll get the update here...I've seen many older devices getting jelly bean although they were officialy left on gingerbread or even froyo

Yeah, even the boost zte warp now has a buggy jellybean,and Ly-f1 clones (cheap alwinner tabs) were getting jellybean ROMs very shortly after the source was released, so i agree the prospects look good.

i already have 4.2 based ROMs for my RazrM, and it's still on 4.1.2. If there's an update pushed for the Tab, it will be developed and released in custom ROMs. If the OTA isn't pushed to the Tab, I can almost guarantee there will still be aftermarket ROMs based off 4.3 or 5.0 or whatever comes out next. Truthfully, I don't know why you are losing sleep over this.

I've got a 4.2.2 ROM as well... Losing sleep looking for answers.
I know it is too difficult or not possible to get official Android kitkat update to our Atrix 2 phone?
But can we get it?
As heart it is more memory efficient....
And did it need new cornel to make it possible....
So what are the chances of getting it to our devices....?

Let alone official KitKat, we didn't even get the official Jelly Bean, and ported Android 4.4 is impossible IMHO, as Hashcode left OMAP4 phones deving.

Hope may get ported..
Im hoping to see anyone of these great Devs in XDA come up with a Stock but Custom Touch Wiz 4.3 Rom for our Galaxy Tab 2 P3100, that would be Sweet, I dont Know Much about what these Devs go through Developing and Customizing these Updates but I'm truly hoping to see the 4.3 T.W update for our P3100. Much Respect goes out to ALL the GREAT developers on XDA. I thank you all personally.
Which recent stock update are you talking about? Did P31xx get updated to 4.3 by Samsung?
No Update from Samsung for 4.3 TW
My Question was that Im hoping to see a Custom TW 4.3 for the Galaxy Tab 2, this is what im hoping to see, or even better, i just read that the Galaxy S4 and Note 3 are getting the 4.4 TW update soon, theres already a leaked version for the international S4, so if one or both of those (TW 4.3 or 4.4) can get ported to our P3100 that will be GREATTTTT. Well just a thought, NAW more like a WISH.. lol

Nope. Not gonna happen. You won't see a stock ROM of a newer version ported from another device. Some apps and features, yes (happens quite a lot), but not the ROM.

And please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I remember reading TW is close source, which is why there are no custom versions.
