It was a matter of time before the unofficial versions of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean were published for two of the reference terminals in the Google ecosystem "" if not the most, with the permission of the Nexus family "". We are talking about the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy S3, the last two reference devices in the South Korean manufacturer's catalog along with the Samsung Galaxy Note.
These phones, whose integration in the official update program for the most advanced of the Google platform is not yet clear, can already show the functions of the system that those of Mountain View presented last week, although it is not an official version, as we say, the operating environment.
Starting with the publication of the Android 4.1 development kit, which took place practically in parallel to the presentation of the system last Wednesday, the guys from XDA Developers put the batteries in, adapting the system "" optimized to work on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus ”” to the requirements of the last two flagships of the Seoul firm, so that whoever wishes can open their mouths with the appearance that the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy S3 will look like with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Of course, as usual, there will be a series of requirements to be able to proceed with the installation of this retouched version of the system, such as having the terminal rooted and following the instructions of the ODIN wizard. And of course, remember that carrying out this action is something that is subject to your responsibility.
Something that is striking, although it is logical, is that in the Samsung Galaxy S2 the Android 4.1 system causes some effective screen space to be sacrificed. This is due to the fact that the system controls of this version, having been ported from the Galaxy Nexus version, make it necessary to include the three menu buttons, home and back, in the capacitive space "" something that, when adapted to the Touchwiz layer of the Korean house, it adapts to the device's own access ””. Beyond that, on the surface, it seems that the Samsung Galaxy S2 can perfectly move the system without too much trouble, which bodes well.in order to mitigate the fears of those who have thought that perhaps this terminal will be left out of the Jelly Bean update program.
Yesterday we echoed the announcement by the South Korean Samsung, according to which the company was already working on the configuration of its first batch of mobiles upgradeable to Android 4.1. In it, it was taken for granted that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S will first participate in the process of system improvements that Jelly Bean promises. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is also a candidate that no one doubts. Regarding the Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy S2 there has been no official communication, although the forecasts begin to tilt in a positive direction, including both in the Jelly Bean update roadmap.
