Official support for Android 4.0.4 on Extreme?

Postby danskmacabre » June 3rd, 2012, 12:25 am

Does anyone know if there are plans for Scroll to OFFICIALLY support Android 4.0.4 on the Scroll extreme?
I'm mostly happy with 4.0.3, so if they will support it at some stage, I can wait.
Alternatively, if they have no intention of making an update, I may as well start investigating manually updating to 4.0.4.

Many users, including myself, have emailed them and the official reply is that they won't be supporting 4.0.4 OR 4.0.5

Oh ok, that's a pretty definitive answer then, thanks. :)

Guess I'll start looking at these cooked versions of Android 4.0.4

Is there a firmware available for the Scroll extreme that works at 4.1?

No... 4.1 is called "Jelly Bean" :)

Jelly Bean is just an update with a lot of fixes and a couple of features (from what I've read). I don't see any reason why the Cortex A8 generics wouldnt be supported.

I assume it'll have to be modded to work with the Scroll extreme like the 4.0.4 firmware has been modded?

I thought Jelly Bean was Android 5.0? And I was about to ask if anyone thinks the Extreme will be able to run it?
