Well, after a couple of days on 4.1.2, I am finding that I don't really do anything different with the Optimus G than I did with ICS... I have looked at Google Now, and I guess it could provide some functionality to me at some point, but I don't know that, for me, it is more than Google search with location enabled and a different place to display certain information that I receive in emails... Do I really need Google Now to tell me I receive a package, since I still get my Google mail notification of the same event (which is where Google Now derived the info)? It does let me know if there is a traffic delay on its preferred route for getting me home, but I rarely go that way, and frankly, a difference between a 14 minute commute and a 16 minute commute is not that critical to me. Oh,, and it shows my weather, like the weather widget on my home page... Perhaps as it learns more about me, or perhaps I learn how to exploit the capabilities, I will find it more useful.
But, I started wondering what else JB could do for me... surely there must be a dynamite app or two out there that exploits some of the internals of JB, but when I searched the Play Store for Jelly Bean, all I found were apps to give me the JB keyboard, and other such apps to make earlier versions of Android look like JB.
So what do I do now, start lobbying for 4.2.x so that I can have the next iteration of the OS?
Do I get a JB related active wallpaper?
After belly-aching for a week or two about not getting JB fast enough from Sprint, I am finding that I need something else to fill my time.
Any suggestions?
I know... maybe I'll just leave lame messages in the forum... That's it! I have a new purpose!
Thanks for letting me ramble (as if you could stop me).
I am generally happy with JB... But, please let me know what you are doing to maximize the Jelly Bean experience!
