Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean rolling out now (AOSP gets it first)

Google today silently released Android 4.1.2 to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). This is a minor update from Android 4.1.1, and is currently available for Nexus 7 owners. Other AOSP devices should see the update go live in the very near future. On the Nexus 7 the update clocks in at 31.3 MB.

The update should improve performance, stability and bring bug fixes. One of the most noticeable changes is the Home screen’s ability to change into landscape orientation.

We’re releasing Android 4.1.2 to AOSP today, which is a minor update on top of 4.1.1.

As a note to maintainers of community builds running on Nexus 7: please update to 4.1.2 at the first opportunity. Future variants of  the grouper hardware will have a minor change in one of the components  (the power management chip) that will not be compatible with 4.1.1.

The build number is JZO54K, and the tag is android-4.1.2_r1.

Enjoy,
Conley and JBQ
