You don't think there will be any further development past 4.2.2 for the S2?

Samsung already said that the last official update will be 4.2

I mean unofficially, of course. Custom ROMs.

Depends I see more and more devs leave the S2 for newer devices : (

Absolute worst case scenario is I'll be stuck with 4.2.2 which isn't the worst thing. These phones are sick right now.

Has anybody heard anything official about the s4 eventually coming to boost?

I remember reading 4.1.2 was the last official update.

Some ROM developers have taken pieces of 4.2.2 but there is no official Samsung release I am aware of.

Check the thread on xda there was even a post on Google+ 4.2 is the last official update from Samsung. If you know how to decompile the rom you can see that 4.1 has a lot of files for a lot of the features that 4.2 brings, it's just a minor update from 4.1 after 4.2 any update will just be maintenance and bug fixes.

Works for me, I am happy to get 4.2.

I haven't logged any time on XDA in a while or seen the thread. As it turns out, I am happy with JB and only required a few minor tweeks so I haven't been checking XDA.


edit: Samsung has earned some loyalty from me regardless, how many OEMs push updates over 2 years after a phone's initial launch?
