I'm finding this too. There doesn't seem to have been a dictionary included with the keyboard so it has to learn every word. Not particularly impressed with it and will most likely put Swype back on.

Probably more that the mods have realised that there has been sod all posted in here for a while.
On another note I'm hoping Samsung fix the few bugs in the XXLSJ by the time the next firmware comes out. There's supposed to be an official Scandinavian release within the next couple of weeks, fingers crossed. I can live with the occasional lockscreen lag and gmail 4.2 sometimes causes soft reboots when launched from the lockscreen (not sure if that's gmail or Touchwiz), but really bugs me is the desktop/dock folders not closing after I launch an app. Even worse I've got a nasty feeling that it's not a bug but an intentional setting. If so I hope like hell that someone can find and fix it...

K1000716: Jelly Bean has arrived!
In case you're living in a hole, or don't follow any other tech sites or forums, a leaked Samsung build of 4.1.2 Jelly Bean has appeared. The build is XXLSJ and was released to the masses this morning.
It's quite smooth and stable and other than a few small lags occasionally it's running very well. The new Touchwiz (S3, Note 2) is very nice on the S2, transforming the phone into something very pleasant to use (I previously hated Touchwiz). It's light years ahead of the quality we've come to expect of early leaked builds and certainly lends support to rumours of an impending release.
The downsides? None really, although the new firmware files are huge. Massive. Really massive. Last VNZ rom was 383MB, this is 903MB. Your eyes are not deceiving you, this is enormous.
New Features include: smart stay, direct call, enhanced motion sensors, a new keyboard, Google Now, floating video player, new gallery with face tagging, group cast, JB notifications, toggles and brightness slider in notifications, lock-screen with shortcuts, blocking mode (do not disturb feature), S Planer, widgets, 50 GB Cloud backup...
No ripple lock or multi-window, but then after all the other stuff I doubt there's space for it...
It's good. Try it, but take all the usual precautions.

EvilMonkey: I updated and it seems to have unrooted my device. What do I need to do to root it again? Just flash the SU binaries?
brunoccs: Hello Everyone,
I'm new here so I apologise if this is a stupid question. Earlier this year I updated my gs2 to ICS using Kies, and ever since then I've been having problems when playing music from my phone on my car stereo using bluetooth connection. It simply restarts the phone after a few minutes playing.
Anyways, I'd like to know if there's currently a way to install JB on my Galaxy S2 (i9000). I researched the subject and came to the conclusion that since ICS doesn't allow backup/restore of the APN settings, root and flashing ICS is not possible. Please tell me I'm wrong (and I most likely am).
If anyone could point me to a step by step on rooting and installing JB on my GS2 (be it CM10 or whatever else works), I'd be much obliged!!!
Cheers.
