Android 4.2+ Thread

Has anyone with a rooted phone tried Jelly Bean yet? I'm hearing outstanding things. Looks like they are finally putting a huge effort forward to improve integration and smoothness.

Project Butter.

I have it on my Kindle Fire. It made my KF actually worth using. I've been debating about rooting my SIII to get it.

heard it was coming to my Galaxy Nexus....then read that Verizon is dragging their feet again on a release. So, we'll see.

Verizon needs to get its **** together. If you're gonna charge people up the ass, get us simple f-ing updates.

Why did I have to get the ****ing Bionic? I'll be lucky to even get the ICS update

Thus the problem with Android.

Bionic is getting it in the next week and JB by the end of the year.

I sure hope you're right, but I don't take Motorola/Verizons word on anything.

I still haven't got the ice cream sandwhich update for my thunderbolt... Imagine the wait I have to do for the jelly bean upgrade.

Got it on my Nexus 7. I'm coming from Android 2.2.1 (Froyo) on my phone so it's obviously a big improvement for me.

It's moreso Verizon than Motorola. There is an ICS leak currently sitting on the Moto staging server. After multiple builds popping up on the testing servers it's fairly safe to say this is the final build awaiting approval from Big Red.

I have tried a few of the alpha ROMs for my Epic Touch 4G. Even with the bugs, it's buttery smooth! Just finally got to try it out properly by getting a Nexus 7 yesterday. So far, I love it. Nice and smooth and lag free with plenty of features. This is probably the first version I think could stand on it's own, without needing a Sense/ Touchwiz/etc. skin.

This is also my first device in a long time that I haven't felt the need to root....and that's saying a lot!

Will my Sprint Epic(Galaxy S) handle it? Or even 4.0 for tha matter? I'm still on Froyo.

ICS can sbsolutely stand on its own. The overlays weigh Android down.

I have ICS on my Kindle Fire right now. It's nice but kind of buggy.

How smoothly does Jelly Bean run with KF? If you don't mind, could you PM me the website you used to get Jelly Bean?

Thanks.
