"Good things come to those who wait"
As of right now, the 4.1.2 roms for our phone is adequate enough. Most 4.2 roms that are currently out for other GS2 equivalents still have several issues that need to be resolved or are in beta. In my opinion, it is much better to wait for a stable 4.2 rom to upgrade to from the current 4.1.2 roms.
So to the devs who are working on getting 4.2 to our T989, take as much time that's needed. It is better to improve a good rom than to fix a broken one, perfection is key. Cheers!

So wait. Are we officially on 4.1.2? I thought s2x wouldn't be getting it until the start of next year? Or was it 4.2?
Now i am confused.

Officially we are on 4.0.3 (ICS). There were rumours of the S2X having Jelly Bean in December, but that's probably unlikely at this point.

it's 4.0.4

Considering the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket STILL hasn't gotten an official OTA for 4.1.1...official 4.2.1 is EONs away. Once 4.1.1 hits Skyrocket, I'll show Samsung the petition for Hercules.

4.2.1 on the Nexus 4 is pretty bad. I'm good thanks.

Never.

Now OP do you see what happened to your post. Hopefully in the future you think twice before posting random stuff like this. Unfortunately your question is not one that anyone here could easily answer.

IMO i think that 4.2 will be released which will be after the international version gets released and who knows when the international version gets released and it will take tmobile a couple of months to customize it so that they can release it for our devices so what i believe in is that when you guys finally hear news about the international version being released then i think you guys can post some threads that are accurate and not confusing most of the people on 4.2
Also on another note i think the thing you guys should put your hopes on is cyanogenmod 4.2.1 which still isnt as stable but for you people who are impatient
and like previously stated in this thread even when it gets released it still might not be a daily rom that you can rely on everyday to use to its full potential so sorry for anyone who got there hopes up

Its possible that we coldu get 4.2 but unlikely I doubt wwill get it officially as well.. Its more likely that we will end up with 4.1.3 or 4.1.4 ..or some sort of small incremental update after we get JB

I hope the official Sammy ICS comes to us!

So it seems that Sammy has released ICS stock for SGS3 and SGS2. I'm hoping that this makes it to all versions or at least we can use the base to slap together something for us here. Long shot, but you can always hope....

Well technically the Epic touch is still on Gingerbread so I don't think they would be able to port to our phone yet.
Once the source is released a good developer could build a stock AOSP ICS ROM for our phone...
It would be nice to start from a un-modified Android ROM so that we could have something similar to CM9 with tweaks specific for only the E4GT.

I totally agree with you on ICS based ROMs are buggy and laggy. I've tried a few now and I haven't really been blown away with ICS so far. And I agree with the need for an official build for our ET4G's.
But I don't think it's Samsung's fault totally, I'd almost place most of the blame on Sprint. The international GS2's have their ICS update, and we all know to well that the ET4G's update to ICS is being worked on and tweeted by Sprint. A good portion of our ICS custom ROMs come from Sprints development and leeks, so it's there.
Sprints got a few new ICS devices out like the new Nexus and EVO. Plus more in the works for this summer, mainly the GS3. I always feel that most of the "feet dragging" on updates are done by the carriers. Why would they be concerned with updating last year's hardware, it only costs them money. When they could focus on selling us the next big thing with all the new bells and whistles and make some money. But hey that's just my opinion on the it.
For my money I'm sticking with 2.3.6... I've been running a stock, rooted, debloated rom as well as the stock kernel and modem for the last few weeks now and loving it. Using GoLauncherEX as my launcher I get no lag, and haven't had to deal with any lockups, random restarts or apps not working right or not at all.
Updates are always going to be an issue... I remember the wait for Froyo, it finally came out and most of us were disappointed with it. Then the wait for Gingerbread started... It fixed a lot of issues, but over the last year or so with the release of 2.3 and it's minor updates Gingerbread has become very stable and fast. Especially on devices like our ET4G'S, Gingerbread was originally written for lower spec devices so... On a device that's capable of running ICS it runs like a dream. But again that's just my opinion.

Are you talking about the Galaxy Nexus on the left? In the case of Galaxy phones, Samsung will never release a plain ICS version w/o touchwiz. Just gotta wait for kernel source and aosp rom developers to mess with it.

Can we root or install roms on the GS3?

My Galaxy nexus just died. I dropped it and cannot read the sdcard inside it. I tried CWM recovery, and it gives me io errors when trying to flash it..
I have 3 options:
Repair, get the S3 or wait for the next nexus if it comes out on october 29th.
What would you guys suggest I do? I really love the Nexus brand because i get all the updates directly from Google.. I also love Android 4.1.2 and I know the S3 does not have it..

you need to slow down and not post until you realize where you are. the is XDA. a place where things in the mainstream are not. that being said. we have Android 4.1.2. unlike the rest in the mainstream that don't. so just take my advice and search around the forums before creating threads of your own.

Well, technically it's not out for AT&T or Verizon or TMO.
But it is officially out for Sprint now I think. Released a day or two ago from what I read.
But most or all of the GSIII's have 4.1.2 available via custom ROM installs.
Really? Your title can't be serious. 1. Your on XDA. 2. You made mention of CWM, so you know rooting. 3. One tab back leads you to all GS3 development - I'm assuming you found your nexus rooting info on here so you're well aware of how the site is organized.
Is it April 1st again? There's another thread asking about rooting tutorial.

Slight correction... There are binaries for mysid (toro) available to the public, but 4.2.2 (JDQ39) is still the latest factory image set on developers.google.com... The wait is going to be pretty long as well - VZW has no history of timely updates, so don't expect to see the OTA until Thanksgiving at the earliest.
Like I said in the other thread, Sprint's version will most likely get the 4.3 update first, followed by Verizon a number of weeks later.
And, once AOKP updates their nightlies for 4.3....I'm updating.

The binaries ARE posted for VZW at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#torojwr66v. You are correct in that there is no factory image available. The fact that binaries are available indicates that a build was completed and is now in the Verizon approval process.
I would build it, but I need a 64-bit PC.
EDIT: Never mind. I'll build it when I get home.
somehow I think Verizon will manage it to drag their feet for at least 6month from today (if that) before they release 4.3 for us..
Would the master key issue be a reason for Google to push the issue on Verizon for updating more quickly?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
6 months. that's the wait. Verizon has always been late with updates. I would be surprised to see it before the end of 2013. but there will be roms available soon. This will probably be the last update for the gnex.

I'm definitely excited, I have had no good experiences with 4.3

It's not official, yet, as it went from NC3 to NC4 yesterday. What it does mean is that big Yellow is getting ready to roll the release soon, since it's showing up on the device manifest.
The naming convention is:
N= year (2014)
C= month (March)
#= build
They are still smoothing it out, it won't be official till the OTAs start rolling out.

These RDF files just mean that they are working on new builds. The KitKat versions started showing up at the end of February. It's not unusual for it to take 2 to 3 months for them to work out the bugs and get the ROM ready for release. That would put the release into late April or early May if things go the way they have in the past. And yes this thread duplicates the existing RDF thread.
Yep, the RDFs could go for weeks or months before a final OTA is pushed. The better indicator is to watch the Samsung open source center, when the post updated source code the OTA should start pushing in a day or two after.

Yeah the 4.1.2 for the S2 didn't get released until build 27... Though sextape brought us a bunch of leaks so we got to test a lot of them out... Wish I had those kind of connections.
I came in here thinking there was an official kit kat rom

That would be improper! This section is "general", not development!
Good to know d2spr is going to get KK! Masaidjet remembers how crushed we were when Sprint told us we weren't getting ICS on the OG Epic...
