^^^..OK..so if you want to use the raw android rom,you have to get a nexus device.Is it so?

or try a custom rom. most of the time the added UI (touchwiz, sense) eats up ram and may cause some slowdown. and even with Nexus, there is always room for improvement which Google leaves so as not to cause instability at times. Just grab the device with best possible hardware + display and flash a custom rom. and thats why when buying a new mobile/tablet i always advice to check if the mobile got any custom rom.

Android 4.2 i nice. Loving it on my Galaxy Nexus. Font rendering has improved a LOT. However no one is talking about it. Neither is Google.

WHat is the reason some manufacturers are not upgrading their fully capable android device to jellybean.
Take "Tegra 2 " for example. Isn't DualCore 1Ghz , 1GB ram and GeForce ULP capable of running JB ??
Infact they are not even releasing HWA drivers for the Graphic engine. , so the custom ROM developers can get a better stable release.

Can you guys suggest good essential apps for android ? I got LG 4x HD.

Can I upgrade to Jelly Bean ?

Damn.. No Android 4.2 update for Nexus S and Motorola Xoom - Mobile Phone | ThinkDigit News

I think custom ROM are available.

The ultimate TDF app guide. This thread has pretty much everything one need. But a few must have apps are: 1TapCleaner, FastReboot, ESFile Explorer, ColorNote. And avoid task killers if LG bundled any such app with 4X HD. BTW congrats.

Can I upgrade to Jelly Bean ?

Officially, not yet. Unofficially, yes.

I am upgrading from Samsung Galaxy S3 to Galaxy Note II. I will get the Note II in a couple of days.

SGS3 is running on 4.1.1 and I think Note II also comes with 4.1.1.

I want to make exact copy of SGS3 to Note II with least efforts. Which is the best way to copy applications and settings. I am comfortable in copying contacts, SMSs and call logs.

None of the devices are rooted and I don't want to root them.

Guys a update to the play store has been released. Install via APK now
News source and download Link

The most apparent change is a different download screen.

THe only problem with this is that there is no update functionality. Any other which you might know and has update function?

Accessin folders from PC using ESFile explorer and wireless connectivity. No need to transfer files.

I love the LCG Explore FileManager.It rocks.
Has lots of tools and options.
Connects to my Laptop and PC easily, via wi-fi and access files @60-70 Mbps.

Using is since the days of Symbian devices. The interface is also very very cool .
