Google Releases Android 4.1 Source Code

Posted by Unknown on from the getting-better-each-time dept.

Unlike previous releases, where months passed between Google announcing a new version and the code being released, Google has made good on their promise to release the source code to Jelly Bean in record time. Unfortunately, the gitweb instance on kernel.org is still down so you'll have to download the entire thing to take a peek. Hopefully the Cyanogenmod team will find time to start on a community enhanced version soon.

  1. Number one thing i want from Cyanogen by Daetrin · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is an option to add back the settings/menu button. I like having the settings always in a known and easy to reach place rather than depending on the app author to place it someplace convenient. And i wouldn't mind having the search button back either. Really the bottom button bar ought to be much more configurable than it is.

      It's essentially ALL the options and customization you didn't realize you needed, but once you've got it, you'll never go back to vanilla.

      But will my camera work?
