Galaxy S II Is Graced With Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Leak Containing Tons Of S III Features

Looks like Samsung is doing the amazing and continuing support for the Galaxy S II. Today, a Jelly Bean 4.1.2 build leaked for the international Galaxy S II I9100. That’s right, after the T-Mobile and Sprint Galaxy S III’s just got 4.1.1 officially, the S II gets 4.1.2 leak. The same day the international S III gets a 4.1.2 leak. Samsung, you’re on a roll!

That’s not the best part, either. Not only is the firmware 4.1.2, but it is also nearly identical to the 4.1.2 firmware on the S III. It’s based on the new TouchWiz UX launched with the Galaxy S III. It has Smart Stay, Pop-up Play, Direct Call, Blocking Mode, and other such cool new features. It also includes Project Butter, making the device fly. With 4.1.2 of course come both Google Now and one finger expandable notifications. And if you’re planning to hand down your S II to your grandmother, there is also an easy mode for users new to smartphones. It’s an absolutely fantastic update full of features. I still can’t believe Samsung is putting such serious support into the Galaxy S II. I’m sure this will breathe new life into my phone.

SamMobile says that, despite being pre-release software, it’s near perfect and should roll out quite soon based on its state of completion. If you want to flash it on your international S II now, you can do so by hitting the source link. It has all the downloads and instructions. But keep in mind it still is pre-release software so do so at your own risk. Have fun!

Thanks to XDA’s Demodave for the link!

I'm so excited yet disappointed on how Samsung keeps reeling us in and then casting us back out. Can we please get this jellybean update already or at least a fairly accurate time frame. First it was the end of November now they are saying before the end of the year now it's the end of the year unofficially. Enough already. I have the sprint s2-e4gt.please stop beating around the bush!!!

If AT&T doesn't release this for the Skyrocket, and quite soon after the Int'l gets the official ROM, I'm going to have to think about going to Verizon for more LTE coverage and getting an iPhone for better support.  Sorry, but the carroting and teasing with updates is getting old.  They should have bought those UX improvements with ICS, cause TW on ICS has way too many damn problems.

Man. Samsung, with how easy it is to root the GS3 and your awesome timing on your updates I find it hard to imagine buying another HTC or Motorola phone. You guys are my manufacturer of choice going forward. Well that should be obvious with how I've recommended the GS3 to three other people who have gone on to buy them. I seriously know 6 people with GS3's now. Popular phone. It deserves it, it's that good.
