Galaxy S3 to get Jelly Bean Official Update in Q3 or Q4


Autumn will bring good news for Samsung Galaxy S3 users

Cold winter months shall approach soon. But it is anticipated that Jelly Bean update on Galaxy S3 will be before those winter months. Don’t you think that’s amazing news? Well, definitely it is. Sam Mobile website which is not actually the official Samsung website is also a reliable site for news on Samsung. The site claims that they could find out for some inside sources that Jelly Bean 4.1 on Galaxy S3 will come up soon. In fact the official Jelly Bean update on Galaxy S3 should be at the end of Q3 or at the start of Q4. This means that you can expect the good news somewhere around October.
Samsung has not yet announced anything on this. However, we know how thrilled they would be to keep this news under wraps at this point in time. But steadily such news should spread like wildfire. Some rumor round ups also go to the extent and claim that Samsung engineers are busy testing Android Jelly Bean 4.1 on S3 and that’s why after testing is done, the official rolling would begin.
As per more news available from Sam Mobile website, we could also extract the info that some movement is also going in Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note fields. Just when Galaxy S3 gets an official Jelly Bean update, the next is the line can be Samsung Galaxy S2. Juicy Jelly Bean update is also expected on Galaxy Note ad the new Galaxy Note2.
It would really be awesome to have the super duper hit Jelly Bean on Samsung’s popular phones. Really, this is surely going to add charm and more features to the mentioned handsets. So, now what we can do is just wait desperately for the official Android 4.1 updates. Do share with us your views on this. How do you feel? Will you wait for the official Jelly Bean roll out on Galaxy S3 or rather you would prefer using a custom ROM like CM10.

But we are sure that soon we will receive more updates on this. Currently, the information we have is that CM10 Alpha build for Xperia S is very much in development right now.
Yesterday, we had shared with you news about CM10 jelly Bean development for Xperia Play. See this link: http://www.androidust.com/development-of-cm10-on-xperia-play-and-other-sony-phones/. And today, we have news on CM10 Jelly Bean on Xperia S.
For those who are not much accustomed to what CM10 is, it is important to note that CM10 will be CyanogenMod team’s development in Jelly Bean. In brief, CM10 is Jelly Bean 4.1.1.

Development of CM10 on Xperia Play and other Sony Phones


Get Jelly Bean on Xperia Play

Android technology is quite fast and thus there are changes and alterations every other day. Of course, the changes are progressive, good and remarkable. It is our pleasure to bring to you all the remarkable developments that we come across. Just a few days back we were talking about Ice Cream sandwich on Xperia phones along with Xperia Play. Now, our point of concentration and focus is Jelly Bean. In this article we shall talk about the development that is going on in regards to CM10 for Xperia Play via FXP.
As it is known that CM10 is Jelly Bean and thus the article is related to Jelly Bean on Xperia Play.However, it is important to note that this is an alpha build. But as the development is in the progressive stage we are sure that soon you will come across a stable CM10 ROM for Xperia Play. If this works then you can expect similar developments in relation to Jelly Bean on Sony Xperia Androids.
The Jelly Bean CM10 ROM for Xperia Play that we are talking about is created by team FreeXperia. This is considered as one of the best teams that engineers CM versions for Xperia. The major focus that the team has kept as of date was CM 7.2 and CM 9.0. But still, it came up with this CM10 development as the team wants to give the users the latest Jelly Bean experience.
As of now we feel that CM10 should run on most of the Sony Xperia handsets.. But it would be better to check the details as available at XDA Forum. Here’s the link to XDA: XDA developers forums.
A few days back there was speculation as to whether CM10 will come on Xperia devices or not. At that time source codes were not released. CyanogenMod was only reluctant because of lack on source codes. But it is anticipated that there can be refactoring in Trebuchet and the LockScreen enhancements, along with the Theme Engine.FXP130 is CM10 and this seems to be the latest development. And we hope that even Xperia Play gets Jelly Bean with butter like smoothness soon. What do you say on this? Kindly share your views. We hope that you liked the article. This news will surely thrill the senses of Xperia Play users who wish to get Jelly Bean on Xperia Play as well as other handsets.

When will Micromax Funbook Tablet get Jelly Bean


Is Jelly Bean Update Due for Micromax Funbook P300?

Micromax Funbook P300 is a 7 inch tablet that runs on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich. This is one of the most affordable tablets as available in today’s times. This fun and educational tablet is priced at around Rs 6500-7000 in India.  Other features of Micromax Funbook tablet include 1.22 GHz processor, 0.3 MP VGA front camera, 4 GB internal memory, expandable up to 32GB and many other useful specs.
Micromax Funbook tablet has become so much popular among techno geeks and developers that there are many developers dedicated for custom ROM development in this field. This is an additional benefit that users can fetch. Like some days back we have already made a detailed mention about Cyanbook ROM for Micromax Funbook P300 right here: http://www.androidust.com/cyanbook-v0-3-rom-for-micromax-funbook-p300/.
Many users are asking us that whether there are any chances that Jelly Bean would come up for Micromax Funbook anytime soon? We hope, you know what Jelly Bean is? Jelly Bean is the latest Android platform with version number 4.1. Only Google Nexus has this as of now. In Mid-July Google is planning to launch this operating system. But as you now developers start coming up with their own developments quickly and thus there are many Jelly Bean ROMs available as of now for various phones like Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3, and HTC One X. But till now we did not find any Jelly Bean ROM for Micromax Funbook. It is our earnest request to leading developers (we hope Ninad Chaudhari is listening) that some amazing ROM should be developed for Micromax Funbook P300. We really hope that Jelly Bean 4.1 ROM for Funbook is floated soon at XDA or at Androidforum. All the best developers!
Well, there’s one more hope here. Since Micromax Funbook runs on ICS 4.0 there is a hope that if the compatibility issues do not occur then Micromax Funbook can get Jelly Bean update in future. And when this happens, believe us users would have an improved user interface, some positive changes in home screen and a smoother buttery experience. Micromax has not announced anything on this till now. But if the company wants to stay into competition then it should take certain bold and strategic steps likeflashing official Jelly Bean on Micromax Funbook in future. Right now, we can only wait and watch.
We would love to get feedback from Micromax Funbook users in this regards. What you guys think? Kindly let us know. Share your views right here via comments.

Get Sony Xperia Jelly Bean Themes V.1 Vico

Jelly Bean is the word everywhere. Over a few days we have seen Jelly Bean 4.1 ROMs ported on various handsets like Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3 and such other popular handsets.

In case if there is some data loss, you will have to bear the brunt of the issue. Thus, be alert and take the complete back up.

Experience Jelly Bean on ARC S via Boot Animation


Xperia One click root
Jelly Bean is everywhere and even Sony mobile users want the same. There are several benefits of Jelly Bean and thus even though ICS being one of the most reliable platforms, people are greedy for this new platform. Sony had confirmed that there is still good amount of time the users would have to wait. But developers who have dedicated their efforts for enhancing the user experiences for the mobile users have created some amazing options. You would be surprised as well as thrilled to learn that currently one of the developers tested Jelly Bean boot animation on Xperia ARC S. Thus one can have experience of Jelly Bean on Xperia ARC S via boot animation.
For those who are quite ahead technically and technologically, boot animation won’t seem like a rocket science. But for those who are quite new to the Android field would still have confusion over what Boot animation exactly is and how would Jelly Bean boot animation on ARC S make some amount of difference and betterment in the user experience.
XDA contributor Faseeh Rehman has written a useful post at XDA clearing many conceptual doubts of people in relation to boot animation. Many people have a question in mind, what is boot animation? As per the article, it is contained within uncompressed zip file known as bootanimation.zip. This is available in the system partition within the media folder. This means: /system/media on the internal memory of the device. You can check this useful boot animation guide from the link given at the end as reference guide.

Bootanimation file contains all the info that will be needed when the device boots and boot animation plays automatically. Now, when we say that one can have an amazing Jelly Bean experience on Xperia ARC Svia boot animation, it means that the boot animation process is altered by making simple modifications or replacement in the existing file. Xperia ARC S can be customized with Jelly Bean boot animation. One of the XDA Junior member limeunlimited has created Jelly Bean boot animation for ARC S and has tested the same.
Disclaimer: We recommend that before you download and flash Jelly Bean boot animation on ARC S you should take proper back up of the old boot animation. Also, you need to do this at your risk. Androidust won’t be responsible for anything that happens while you take up phone customization. Kindly move ahead at your own risk.

Jelly Bean Boot Animation on ARC S

The process is very simple. You will have to merely download the file from the link (at the end of the post). After that you have to copy the same to /system/media. That’s’ it. But let me again remind you. You must take back up of the old boot animation. This will be helpful to you when you have to restore the old file.

Google: Android 4.0 on 11% of devices, Gingerbread still on top


google, android, gingerbread, android 4.0, jelly bean, android 2
Google has updated its Android Developer site with data about the percentage of active devices running a given version of its mobile operating system. The good news is that Ice Cream Sandwich is finally picking up some speed, with its share of active Android devices jumping 3.8% over the last month. The bad news is that more than eight months since its release that’s still just 10.9% of all Android devices.

The gain comes as device manufacturers continue to roll out their ICS updates and flagship Android 4.0 devices including HTC’s One X and Samsung’s Galaxy S III launch worldwide.

Android 2.3 “Gingerbread” remains the single most-popular Android version at 63.6%, followed by Android 2.2 “Froyo” with 17.3%. Their installed base is slowly decreasing, dropping 1-2 percentage points over the month, but even today low-end devices are still being shipped and used with Gingerbread.

The data is based on the number of Android devices that have accessed Google Play within a 14-day period ending July 2nd and is provided to developers so they can decide how to prioritize the development of their applications’ features for the devices currently in the hands of users.

With carriers and OEMs taking this long to get Ice Cream Sandwich on a tenth of Android devices in the market, things are not looking too promising for the newly announced Jelly Bean. Google hopes to improve roll out times with the release of a Platform Developer Kit (PDK) for Android device partners, but only said the Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, and Motorola Xoom will be getting the update in July. Beyond that, manufacturers including Acer, Asus, and HTC remain tight-lipped about their Android 4.1 update plans.

Nokia says Nexus 7 tablet infringes on their patents


google, android, nokia, asus, nexus, tablet, wi-fi, jelly bean, nexus 7, patent infringme
Google announced the long-rumored Nexus 7 tablet during their I/O Conference last week. The device won’t be available until mid-July but that isn’t stopping Nokia from claiming the slate infringes on some of their patents with regards to Wi-Fi technology.

The Inquirer believes that the patents in question have to do with the IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi standard. In a message to the publication, a Nokia spokesperson said they have more than 40 licensees under their standards essential patent portfolio which includes most mobile phone device makers. The problem is that neither Google nor Asus are licensed under this patent portfolio. The spokesperson said that companies who have not licensed up should simply approach them and sign up for licensing rights.

Google’s $199 tablet features a 7-inch backlit IPS display operating at 1,280 x 800 and is powered by a quad-core Tegra 3 processor with 12 GPU cores. 1GB of RAM comes standard while users can choose between 8GB or 16GB of onboard storage. The device will ship with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the latest Google OS revision highlighted by Project Butter. This initiative is said to improve overall system performance and reduce lag at virtually every avenue.

It is believed that Nokia will simply seek to have either Google or Asus sign up for licensing rather than try to impose legal injunctions against the tablet. For their part, Asus has refused to comment on the matter for now. No word yet on Google’s response.

Google's $199 Nexus 7 tablet details leaked ahead of I/O Conference


Specifications of Google’s long-rumored 7-inch tablet have leaked out ahead of the company’s annual I/O Conference that kicks off this Wednesday. The tablet is being manufactured by Asus but Google will brand and sell the unit, much like they are doing with unlocked Galaxy Nexus smartphones through the Google Play Store.

Gizmodo claims to have received a training document that details everything one would want to know about the Nexus 7 tablet. At the heart of the system is a quad-core Tegra 3 processor clocked at 1.3GHz, 1GB of RAM, a GeForce 12-core GPU and the option of either 8GB or 16GB of onboard storage.

The 7-inch IPS display features a 178-degree viewing angle and runs at a resolution of 1,280 x 800. There’s a 1.2MP camera on the front for video chats and we are told that the unit will provide nine hours of battery life from a single charge.

Additionally, the leaked document says the Nexus 7 will be the first device to ship with Android Jelly Bean, the successor to Ice Cream Sandwich. Pricing is set at $199 for the 8GB model and $249 for the 16GB variant, making the unit a solid competitor to Amazon’s Kindle Fire and the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet.

There is no word yet on when exactly Google is planning to make the tablet available for purchase but hopefully it won’t be too long after the announcement. Most expect Google to reveal the new hardware at this week’s I/O Conference. If so, we’ll know more details come Wednesday.
