http://forum.xda-developers.com – Samsung has just released the source code for Jelly Bean on the Galaxy S2. Thought it would be pretty relevant for the Galaxy Tab Plus community as the devices do share the same SoC and from what I understand can now even boot the same kernel. The source code can be found as usual at http://opensource.samsung.com/. Hope it helps with the JB port for this device. (HowTos)

Stories similar to source code of the Galaxy SII Jelly Bean update is out

Via their Open Source Release Center, Samsung has posted new updates to make open source files available for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, and AT&T Galaxy Note II devices. The listings indicate these are files for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on these devices.

Yesterday we reported on Samsung posting open source code for their Galaxy Tab 2 devices and AT&T’s version of the Samsung Galaxy Note II. Samsung’s developers have continued their work today, making available the code for the new Samsung Galaxy S III Mini.

I have draft an email to Samsung Open Source to release the latest kernel source for Galaxy Note 2.

This time, they act fast and the kernel is released here: http://opensource.samsung.com/recept...rchValue=n7100

After I purchase the LTE version, I would start the kernel development :) Thanks.

In an email from Samsung to The Verge, the company has announced that it's updating its flagship Galaxy S III handset to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, starting today. ..

As Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is taken up by more and more manufacturers on their new smartphones hitting the market in the near future, Samsung is in a bit of tight spot in trying to get their best-selling Samsung Galaxy S III updated to Jelly Bean.

Samsung is now updating its Galaxy Note 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 tablets with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and new stylus functions through Samsung Premium Suite. The update is for the Wi-Fi versions of the devices and finally brings Samsung's tablets current with Jelly Bean, after the company slowly rolled out Android 4.1 to its phones in the fall.

Insider reports from Samsung indicate testing and preparations to rollout Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to their Samsung Galaxy S III devices are underway. No date has been established yet, but it is believed late August or early September is the target. The status of a Jelly Bean update for other devices is less clear.
