http://forum.xda-developers.com – "As a note to maintainers of community builds running on Nexus 7: please update to 4.1.2 at the first opportunity. Future variants of the grouper hardware will have a minor change in one of the components (the power management chip) that will not be compatible with 4.1.1." According to Android Police (http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/10...to-aosp-today/) this is part of the message that Google (Jean-Baptiste Queru basically) announced the 4.1.2 AOSP release. So, bring it on, you wonderful people all! (HowTos)

Google Announces the Android 4.1.2 Update - Being Released To AOSP Today

Quote:

Google's chief release engineer Jean-Baptiste Queru just announced via the Android Building group that version 4.1.2 of Android is being released to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) today.

The release follows Android 4.1.1, which was the final version of Jelly Bean, and is marked a

  Following yesterday’s news of the LG Optimus Nexus running 4.1.2, today Google Technical Lead, Jean-Baptiste Queru, announced that Android 4.1.2 will be released to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) today.

Earlier this week, Jean-Baptiste Queru, Google’s Technical Lead on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), announced a new experiment he was starting up. Up to now, the AOSP has focused on Nexus class devices. As Queru explains, AOSP was setup so that in theory it would be possible to plug in files for additional hardware targets. Thus far though, the theory has not translated into practice.

Google’s Technical Lead for the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), Jean-Baptiste M. Queru (JBQ), announced a short while ago via Google Groups that Android 4.1 is being released to AOSP. According to JBQ, it is available with the name “android-4.1.1_r1” on the jb-dev development branch. JBQ recommends the creation of new clients to improve sync speed and produce smaller clients.

Over the course of the past day, we have seen Google start to rollout an Android update, first to Nexus 10 devices, then to Nexus 4 devices, and most recently to Nexus 7 devices. The OTA update to version 4.2.1 is probably still in the process of propagating to all device owners.

  In some not-so-surprising news, Android prodigy Jean-Baptiste Queru used Google+ to share why ICS has been a slow update process across all types of Android devices. He begins his opinion by referencing the Sony Tablet P getting the update in a relatively timely manner— 5 months to be exact, despite the major differences between ICS platform and Gingerbread/Honeycomb.

For rooted phones only! Android police have received a leaked copy of Googles new Gmail app.

New features include pinch zoom, swipe to delete/archive amongst others. This will work on any rooted 4.0+ device, including ours.
