Jelly Bean for Galaxy S III end of August

[kmflame]

If you are rooted you can put the flash APK in Jelly Bean?

You are right not that we deserve it before anyone else but at least at par with you guys =)

I have been a Verizon customer long enough to realize that JB will be released when Verizon is good and ready. Hopefully, that is sooner rather than later but I agree with others that realistically, it may not happen before the end of the year.

Now, if Samsung and Google were smart, they would pressure the carriers to get it out for the S3s by the time the new iPhone is released. That would make the S3 even better competition for the iPhone. That only works however if JB on the S3 is not full of bugs/problems.

Re: Jelly Bean for Galaxy S3 end of August

If someone can PLEASE answer this question for me I would really appreciate it. I recently rooted my S3 so I can download and use rooted apps. I also changed my battery and wifi icons to look like ICS's icons (the blue ones) and removed some the samsung applications with root uninstaller. Will updating to Jellybean ruin my phone or something? Would I need to re-root my phone after installing it when its released?

Honestly, your best bet to keep root and update to JB is just to wait for a dev to push out a version of the updated TW JB ROM with root. Since you've removed some apps and modified your systemui.apk, trying to update to the OTA wouldn't be a good idea. I also hope that you've installed a recovery that will block an OTA.

Sounds like you will not be able to get the OTA from Samsung. The OTA will look for stock recovery and your removing the Sammy apps might prevent an OTA from installing properly. However I'm sure you will have some other options available shortly after the OTA hits. Development on this phone, as long as you're not on Verizon, is huge.

lol we'll get it before Verizon. From what I am seeing Sprint is usually quick with updates because they leave a lot of stuff stock. Just different radios.

Don't want it! No flash! Stupid Apple and their HTML5 crap! I'm not going to change my phone to please the late Steve Jobs!

Oh great, i feel like i really screwed things up. I'm sure there are plenty of users who done this same thing as me. I'm very new to android so I'm learning as much as I can. You are store developers are going to release version for rooted phones? I dont want any of my apps or files removed in this process. :'(

1. If you got OTA update, you must unroot to install the update
2. You can go back to stock by flashing the stock Rom via Odin, then full format to delete any trace from older files. Now you can get the ota and install it with out problem.
3. You can wait for the Stock JB rom, install it as in no 2.

When a dev pushes out the updated TW (not sure what TW means) JB ROM how will that be different compare to how samsung does it? Will it remove all my apps and personal information?Or is it like upgrading a operating system like windows? Also would there version of JB be like a stock rom or like Samsung with touch wize. I still want my camera to work as well as wifi. I heard from other thread they dont seem to work when updating roms?

Okay from the sounds of it... I rather not unroot. I rather keep all my current information. Whats the best option for that?

Re: Jelly Bean for Galaxy S3 end of August

So that means that Verizon will get it around December or January.

AT&T will probably get it much later...say December or January...I can wait as I am still new to Android.

Haha! Gotta love it, everyone es that they think THEIR carrier will get it later than everyone else.

Just curious on the Flash issue. My experience is that many sites while not using Flash automation still use Flash Video. Will the video players still be able to play FLV files without Flash installed? One reason I ask is that I have captured a large number of Webinars from Topaz and NIK which are saved as FLV. I guess I could get a video file converter and create new files with a non-Flash format but it would seem to me that as long as the Codec is still out there the video players should be able to play FLV files (me being lazy and not wanting to have to do all the conversion). Another reason is that the video capture software I use will capture the video in whatever format the site renders it as and the vast majority are still FLV, I guess just to spite the ghost of Steve Jobs... Heck I just a couple of weeks ago tried to view a clip on the CBS site from the show Person of Interest and Chrome on my S3 could not handle it due to Flash. I guess I understand where Adobe is coming from it is just that the web is really not ready for no Flash.

Anyone know the details on this?

Hope it corrects my GS3 problems (FB site freezes, notification counter problem, improve this bad battery life)
