Well now that's just asking way too much. I demand etas for every major rom for this phone.

LOL? You are comparing your S2 with S4? S2 is released on 2011, now we are 2013. It is obvious that you have ton of devs for S2.
S4 is barely released and you already want developpers to release app for S4? Do you know how many time do they developpers take to program an app? It is not as easy as talking, you know?

the phone still new dude
after 1 month sure got a lot developer already
yet, s2 is 2 years old ago phone, off course got a lot developer =_=

Yeah to be fair you're right. It has been pretty much a whole week now. They get paid so much for this work anyway that they should be working weekends too.

People have had phone for weeks? I have but I guess was just asking

Light hearted banter mate. Just give it some more time. Not only is it still pretty new but Samsung are also still rolling out updates that change the environment as well (obvious one is the change to rooting for example)

SGS2 from ATT

I am getting my SGS2 from ATT Friday, from a friend, and I am curious if these roms for SGS2 International will also support the ATT branded SGS2?
yes it will since its the same phone, only minor cosmetic changes. OS/Firmware will be the same.
No, it will not be the same.. you will need a custom kernel that supports the 4 touch buttons on the front and is able to boot an I9100 rom. This is how they did it on the Captivate with I9000 roms.. Just be patient and wait for devs to try it before you flash your phone into an unusable state...

there has to be an ass load of requests and I think a admin or something has to be contacted. or the mod of the already present forum for S2.

I have both sgs2 and gnex, to be honest I like sgs2 more. not fan of blue theme, too damn hard to read under direct sunlight. but if you wanna pure Google experience then Gnex is the way to go. not to mention there are many talented devs in gnex section. good luck.

Because development is a lot easier on nexus phones, they have more dev support and also all the updates are pushed by google themselves. So yeah they are better!
Who cares ?
When i was his age i most certainly did not fall in love with a phone . It must be the chemicals they put in the water .

It's funny how the only phone that competes with the SGS2 is a Samsung built AOSP phone... And there are tons of SGS2 users that go to Gnex. But no Vice-versa.

funny....i have been seeing the exact opposite. I think prices for the gnex are actually cheaper than the sgs2 in Canada. I had it for a day, i can see why it would be.
"pure google experience with open sources for everything" Sounds like a contradiction! Google are monsters!

Heh. Looks like different experiences. I've seen alot of gnex for sale on Kijiji at ridiculously low prices, so you may be right. On these forums though, I've only seen people leaving to the gnex forums as of now...
The SGS2 in Canada annoys though, 3 different phones: Galaxy S2X from Telus, i9100M from Bell/Virgin, Galaxy S2 LTE from Rogers...

3 weeks ago, i walked into my fav store JB Hi FI, as i was browsing through the store i noticed in the corner of my eye something so beautiful and sexy, i walked up to this wonderful girl and said excuse me i dont mean to be upfront or rude but can you please move your ass cause your blocking the view of the samsung galaxy s3 i am trying to woo. she obliged and walked away. i then finally got my hands around the phone and oh my goodness, that moment was the best moment i have ever had, so i forked out $770 dollars and paid for the beautiful device, then went home with a big smile on my face to see my wife with a big angry look saying ' i just checked the account, you son of a ***** how could you spend $770 on a stupid phone, what are you stupid, that moment i felt in JB HI Fi has gone forever and it will never come back

To clarify (cause no one has been very clear about it in this thread, to be fair) the generic version of Jellybean for UK, along with virtually all network variants have all been available for weeks.

it also has rules against pointless posts.
Pointless posts contribute more garbage to the forum than pointless threads.
It also puts people at risk of getting fired. Remember people, in this modern society, your online profile can quickly get tracked back to you, and some companies don't take kindly to employee's who reflect badly on their place of work.

Nothing but hear say,

We have 4.2.2 and 4.3.0, though.

Latest rumors are that Samsung is already working in version 4.3 for samsung galaxy s3, so I expect the update to come even earlier.
LOL, just hope it'll be ready before Android 5, or else samsung is never going to catch up with the latest firmware. They haven't even release android 4.2, and they're suposed to be working on Android 4.3? What a joke.
Either way, I gave up waiting for the laggy Samsung firmwares.. even Omega or ARHD start lagging after a while.
Kinda happy with SuperNexus 2. It's a lot snappier...
