Google Sets Jelly Bean Source Code Out Into the Wild
The sound of developers rejoicing can now be heard across the nation as Google decided to release the source code for its latest Android build, Jelly Bean. Google just announced the most recent mobile OS at its Google I/O conference last month, and didn’t waste any time to give the developer community what they’ve been wanting. Here’s what Jean-Baptiste M. “JBQ” Queru, a software engineer on the Android Open-Source Project (AOSP) had to say about the release:
“The name of the tagged release is android-4.1.1_r1. The name of the development branch is jb-dev, we recommend that you create new clients, even if you’re working in the master branch. It’ll make your clients smaller and faster to sync. Proprietary binaries are available for Nexus 7 tablet and Galaxy Nexus smartphone. The Nexus S and Motorola Xoom will follow.”
Currently, the only device to rock Jelly Bean is the unlocked Galaxy Nexus, which had to be updated to Android 4.1 to avoid a recent patent-related ban. Next up to sport Jelly Bean will be the upcoming Nexus 7 tablet which is expected to hit retail stores later this July.
since the release of Jelly Bean, the Active Sync is broke for most of our users with D-RoID phones connecting to our Exchange Server. FIX IT. Maybe if you spent as much time thinking up stupid names for your code releases and testing them on all platforms (Like Microsoft does), maybe your code would work properly. In an Enterprise environment this is unacceptable. I REALLY hope the Win Phone 7 cleans-your-clock. So far, 2 years, not one problem. ..and the answer is NO, I can use my MS products in my enterprise org BETTER than Google has to offer. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. It rolls just the same. Fix the code.
Same problem, the active sync isnt working on my phone at my company syncing to exchange. Its a DROID also. Seems to be the norm for the DROID phones.
