Galaxy SII Skyrocket - Update to Jellybean now available!

Hi folks,

As I'm sure many of you have been excited and waiting for this update, it seems that the Jelly Bean Update (Version 4.1.2/ Build I727UCMC1) for the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket is available through Samsung Kies.

The update includes the following:

- Google Now
- Improved call quality
- New AT&T apps such as AT&T DriveMode and AT&T Locker
- Removes Qik and MSpot apps

Remember to download the latest version of Samsung Kies before trying to download the update!

Enjoy! 😄
~Sunshine :)

Not sure what you mean by that redhot. 🙂

Seems like the Skyrocket got more features, one being Google Now and a good feel of looking very similar to the GS3 software.

If you mean what were we missing out on, I would say the fluid movement from very little lag to no lag. If you take a look at the notifications bar, it has a lot more toggles which weren't available before. 😉 The app tray is not up to par with the Nexus feel, but it is very good too. It's like this update got more of taste of stock Android than it did Touchwiz. 🙂

yeah i resolve the problem and was able to upgrade Skyrocket ICS OS to JB OS. By the way, as Samsung is a very famous and largest and also popular company, why does the JB update webpage still not updated?? check the below link

Hi,

 

When is the JB update available for I777. The Kies version is 2.5.3.13033_7 download on 13 Apr 13 at 12 AM EST. This does not contain the JB update. The latest version still shows 4.0.4. tempatt.jpg

 

Please let me know if it is available at this point of time or have to wait for an update from Kies or ATT ?

Can someone who has updated the phone to 4.1.2 take some screenies of the home page and the accuweather widget, etc. I'd appreciate it.

Jingu31 - I afraid you would have to wait until Samsung and AT&T tests the update before rolling out the update.

@crynosis Skyrocket's JB screenshot is nothing special, accuweather widget is little more shiny then that was in ICS. But ICS accuweather was more cool than JB. I installed Nova Launcher Prime and was looking to set up my JB accuweather in it, didn't find it. S-Beam is added. you can't set your task manager icon front page because its not showing in apps, there is no faceunlock security software in AT&T's JB LOL. JB was customized by AT&T
