Galaxy S III features on Galaxy S II...

I know it hasn't been a while since the Galaxy s III release but I would like to know if it can be done. There is a cool feature such as ''picture in picture''.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT0gO_wNOhA
after 1:00 minute mark you can see how it works. Its kinda cool and needed in my opinion.
once the source codes are released, is it possible for our precious DEVs to port it to our phones or because of hardware differences its impossible?

Actually, it hasn't been released yet at all. Launch date is May 29 2012 in Europe. By my calendar, that's still 20 days away. So no one can answer this question if it's possible or not.
CM Team are planning on doing this, opendesign.blameSamsung.org

Official Jelly Bean on AT&T note

Hey all,
I didn't think that Samsung was planning to upgrade the original Note but just read an article on Slashgear saying that there is one on the way.
Is an official JB ROM on its way?

They announced a while back we were getting it. Now whether Samsung plans to release it to carriers in October, or carriers plan to release it in Oct is another question.

Cool, that means more stable ROMs with s-pen capacity.
Thanks for the info!

Uhm...
That's the international version, not our version.
sent from my chunk...
I hope I'm wrong ....
But in the context of that article ...the author could just as well have meant upgrade to JB in the form of a new device, not just software.
And yes .that is the international version they are referencing ....g
Got and E-Mail from SamMobile today:
Samsung to start with Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) updates for the next devices:
Galaxy S III
Galaxy S II
Note
Note 10.1
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
Galaxy Tab 2 8.9
The updates are planned for Q4.
There are rumours about Ace 2 and Advance Jelly Bean updates. We cannot confirm this at the moment.
I'm not sure if it's of any consolation, just my contribution.
Might only be for the International version. Crossing fingers for the i717.

Samsung rolling Jelly Bean out across most of its smartphone, tablet lineup 'soon'

Let's hope that this apply to our version of our Notes and not the international. We're still waiting for the XXLRQ update even though we can use some of its features already via apk extraction.

I would think we'd be seeing some JB leaks. But considering that it takes Samsung a while to update the international note (which is higher on their priority scale then at&t or tmo note), and the fact that article said nothing about AT&T, I would guess this update is for the GT-N7000 only.
If there is an AT&T note update, it'll probably be a few months after that.
Just from what I've seen with other samsung international vs. carrier specific phones.
We didn't see gb leaks for the at&T note before the official update rom came out.
Don't see why it wouldn't come out or that at&T isn't a priority... I am sure they sold with enough not to want piss off first note owners and screw up 3rd generation note sales.
My opinion of course.

I swear, when ICS was officially released from AT&T, I was so happy. I backed up my latest ICS developer ROM, think it was h0tw1r3's, then went and installed the official ICS. I ran that crap for one day. Immediately restored my phone back to a developer ROM. So much bloated crap on there and seemed so slow.
I really don't think I am ever installing back an official release, BUT I do miss S-Memo, and yes I know about other apps similar, but the new features coming on the Note2 with S-Memo, idk... Looks very tempting.
People, the Att Note also is Note. Samsung said 'Note' and that incluses all versions of Note. So just wait. It will come.

+1. If you're an old school AT&T and Samsung owner, you know AT&T is slow to update. Took almost 8 months for me to get official GB on my Captivate from the time they announced it. Not even mentioning the wait for Eclair to Froyo They have gotten better though. We'll get it.

Exactly what makes me question the statement.
Is it even going to be out on Nexus by that time?
Idc as long as samsung releases official source and blobs. Is it coming for both 5.8 and 6.3? Thats the main question.

S2 but Not Note II xD what a joke xD

You can obviously tell this isn't entirely correct. I doubt Samsung will update the S2 and Note 1 but not the Note 2. I'll be surprised if the S2 even gets an update. When it got jellybean it was a pleasant surprise.

My thoughts exactly, I can't see them still supporting the S2 at this point. Looking forward to seeing if this pans out for the Mega though.

I would not be surprised. The post says KitKat especially targets low-memory devices as one of its selling points is a new kernel with a smaller footprint to enable apps run smoother on low-memory devices.
You mean october 2014?
Well I doubt samsung will update s2 and other same year models to kitkat.
Anyone who believes that list of devices is anything other than fantasy is very gullible. There is no way on earth the Note 1 will get an official upgrade to 4.4.

Not an official update i believe but maybe a custom rom for it as i have my note 1 on 4.3 now for a while already...backup phone that is for now.
Help Me !!
Do you know if the Samsung Galaxy Duos FAME S6812B will also receive?
I love how they made it sound like 4.4 would be able to be loaded on all Android devices like you do say windows on any pc, yet here we are having to wait for them to "roll it out". It's why I don't bother worrying about updates and getting inferior devices like the Nexus phones. lol.
Hmmmm did samsung skip 4.2.2 [4.3] 4.4 ?????
Well.... the original post said October. ... hmmmm...a bit late so far.
