Android police just announced that a 4.1.2 update has been released to AOSP, and the Nexus 7 is apparently already receiving it!
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

Update #1: 4.1.2 has already started rolling out to the Nexus 7, though mine doesn't see it yet.
Update #2: Since I mentioned seeing 4.1.2 with this very build number in the server logs, I'll throw in the devices that I saw running it, in addition to the Nexus 7 (this doesn't mean the updates for them are out now, but rather a good indication of what's to come):
Are we ready?
JellyBean 4.1.2, the incremental follow up to 4.1.1 isn’t a major update by any means, but promises to improve performance, increase stability and fix certain bugs.
It also adds rotation ability to the homescreen, something that wasn’t possible in the previous version of the software.
Could someone please post a dump of this (or point me towards the easiest way to download it while running a custom ROM on my N7)? I'd like to hack away at pulling out the launcher and making an update.zip for it.
Hi everyone, I hope this update will fix the lag problem with few mb/gb free on my N7.
I dont want to flash the factory image cause it wipes everything.
If I flash a nexus 7 stock rooted odexed will I receive the update? What do u suggest?
Hopefully Google fixed the bad display calibration!

To be clear, What JBQ says in that post is that the source of 4.1.2 will be pushed today to the AOSP repo, he asks to the community maintainers of nexus 7 builds (such as CyanogenMod) to update the source ASAP. it does not mean that the Nexus 7 is receiving an OTA update now, I will soon I'm sure,
JBQ also said that the updated factory images will be available as soon as the OTA is, and that the change can be pulled from the commits in the repository..
That's all for now.
So I have my Nexus 7 rooted and unlocked running stock software, will I be fine to get the OTA?

Actually, there are many reports of Nexus 7 users getting the update so it is rolling out now. It also adds home screen rotation to the stock launcher.

I think you will get the update-notification at least..
The question is if a custom-recovery prevents updating.
edit: xda-user dalew729 says he uses CWM and updated OTA without problems....

Yeap, that is what Im Looking now, no word about that from JBQ but there are those reports, No update for me yet.
Saw the 4.1.2 being reported on twitter. Has me all tingly, curious to see what else is included besides home screen rotation. Currently running Codename android rom so I have to wait. :fingers-crossed:

JBQ has nothing to do with the OTAs so he will not be announcing it.
I really can't wait to try this update out!
Unfortunately, I'm not getting any OTA updates. D:

Has anybody taken a look at the new official JB release that popped up at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_maserati/list.php ? (Although, I can't access it currently)
It's been mentioned on another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277830 ) regarding the ability to root, but it doesn't look like it's been looked at in any depth whether it includes any fixes, etc. The build date has changed to the 5th April, and the version is 9.8.20-72_VZW-18-2.
Cheers,
Steve.
This should probably be in q&a section... but yeah I wonder what is in it too... either way, I'm pretty happy sitting on eclipse 1.0.6 right now

You could be right regarding the location, apologies if people object - I just thought the ROM guys would probably be the ones most likely to be all over it.
File Mirror
FWIW - I found that droid-developers.org seemed a little hit and miss, so I've set up a private file mirror for this new release. If somebody wants access to it, then just PM me. I'm trying to sort out a public mirror too, and will update this post when/if I get that sorted out.
Cheers,
Steve,
I am uploading cdma_maserati/cdma_maserati_9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-2_1ff.xml.zip
to my http://d-h.st/users/sd_shadow/?fld_id=12041#files
via remote url upload, usually doesn't take very long, quite a bit faster than uploading from my pc
This same version upgrade for XT926 HD appeared and was said to be a bugfix for the 4.1.2 OTA and that another more significant update would appear shortly for all devices but still remain 4.1.2 and would include Isis.
So we should expect to see a couple of OTAs pushed out on accelerated schedule that will match this XML file and the subsequent update.

So is the "more significant update" meant to be coming after this April 5th release?

It's safe for now...

Yes, and I just flashed the boot, system and radio images from the MR2 XML and then rerooted using razr_blade.
So, we are safe to use this file to upgrade the firmware without any loss of root or any other issues.
The secure version did not increment so it is also possible to revert to the prior -18 release without risk of soft bricking.
This follows the pattern of the update for the HD and will likely be the same for the other devices that just recieved 4.1.2 in this cycle.
The next update is the one the will include ISIS and may also have security enhancements that will need to be carefully scrutinized.
That is conjecture on my part, at this stage, we don't know.
It would be nice to know what changes the release addresses. My hope is that it sorts out the hardware keyboard problem of unsticky shift keys in some applications.
Cheers,
Steve

Really ???? Why ?? Huawei is too slow in making the Updates , all now is Andoird 5 and P7 is stuck in 4.4.2
It's proberly better staying on 4.4.2 than on lolipop. Many bugs on lolipop.

Wow do you realize android 5 has been out officially for a week or two and pretty much every phone apart from nexus which uses the software directly from Google themselves who make android, still don't run it yet and expect to be running it in 2015.
Not even big teams that use the aosp code directly such as cyanogen or paranoid have got a stable fully functional rom out yet.
It takes time for the 3rd party developers to customize and test android for there devices once the official version gets released as they all use the final source code which only has been out 3-4 weeks.
Also no company apart from Google is much better, Samsung are still rolling out 4.4 to some of there devices with some like the s2 still on 4.2 and end of life presumably others will jump straight to lollipop from 4.3 etc.
Also on rooting what do you wish to achieve by doing so?
Rooting can be very dangerous if you don't know what your doing with devices like ours.
Take a look for example at all the posts in this forum asking to downgrade their l10's from emui 3 to 2 which they upgraded to custom versions etc without thinking and the issues they now have with boot loops and stuff.
If you want to run xposed you can find many people with similar things recently in this forum that can't get it to work.
Also rooting etc you lose the ability for any future updates via OTA and recovery and would need to manually update your device potentially bricking it every single time which bricking means you can no longer use your device and have to buy a new one.
Also are you capible on the PC with using it, command prompt Linux shell etc and doing things like installing Windows and other things.
If not then rooting is not for you.
Also do you know how to code in Linux C etc and know the workings of the Linux os, if not then there is no way you are going to make a custom rom. All you might be able to achieve is just repackaging someone else's ROM with minor edits and even then the tools to do that mainly use Linux to run as it's native windows doesn't have all the stuff Linux has natively in this regard.

Thanks For your Valuable words,
I really enjoyed them and get my mind open
well I do have Good Experience in linux and Command line , C Programming actually didnt go deep with it really ,
But i think I will stick to your opinion and wait ,and while I do so I will learn more about the whole subject ,and maybe increase my knowledge in this Field . (Android Programming - the C Programming - how things work in Android , ROMS , ETC)
but would you mind telling me from where to start ???

Apologies if I came across about abit hard this forum has had allot of impatient people jumping in recently trying to run Emui 3 on l10's then asking to downgrade as you may have noticed the other teams like paranoid are already dealing with lots of people saying there to slow for not having lollipop out within a hour of aosp.
I had the same issue running a custom Minecraft server that people got really angry then refused to play and bad mouth the server if we didn't update that day when update time for us was about a week given the number of customizations we had 41 plugin's in the end, sometimes longer if there were more changes the mod and custom server devs had to deal with.
Emui 3 and lollipop has more bugs more as it's new from what I found I may start a proper consolidated emui talk thread later for those running it opposed to all the l10 when are we getting it out help me downgrade threads.
The place I think you should start is to download the source code for your version from the emui webpage and start analyzing it out of interest.
There's another Dev on here doing the same thing so you might want to contact him for info.
Also there are tools on Linux that easily let you unpack stock image files and the ext container and repack them.
That way you can see the full file structure and how a rom is packaged.
It's good just to see what's inside roms and how the first roms are usually made by a repackage before source.
I will stress the same as above that while these are starting points you would need to know what you are doing and something more hackable like a cheap nexus or or Chinese tab (about $50 USD) with easy upgradable firmware something would be better to start on.
Also grab down the android tools with eclypse for Linux, the sdk virtual device and have a play around making a app and stuff also you can edit the virtual rom safely etc.
The Linux version of the tools is far superior as you can natively mount the virtual ext cards for host file transfer and do other things which you can't under windows.
By ext above I mean the virtual partition files which are either ext 3 or 4 last time I looked.
I'm not a coder myself and I only did basic stuff in the past as I had a Chinese android 2.2 tablet the MID ones as my first device, I used a custom rom on which was just a repack with file system changes with bloat removed etc.
I looked into this out of interest and curiosity, each rom update I repacked it with the apps I used so I didn't need to reinstall them, there was probably a better (proper) way than just unpacking the ext file system from the img adding my apps in to the deploy folder and repacking.
Also I unpacked a APK weather app etc to make changes and use a custom background and others like themes to grab icons and assets this is a good start with looking at app packages and how that all works as well as making your own app in various tools eclipse for one which is the official tool but there's hundreds of android programming softwares online even to do simple stuff as make a stand alone html5 app from a webpage.
The tools on Windows I found were lacking and harder to find for the rom stuff, with Linux it was built into the system a lot of things.
What Linux is the best for doing Android stuff I don't know so that will need to be researched.
As mentioned devices can be dangerous for custom stuff especially newer ones with bootloader security, the older Chinese style ones and some others you could reflash easily from sdcard with a update.img file as they didn't contain that lock out security on boot and debugging.
I nearly bricked a few devices in the past, once having to rely on the bootloader and Android Commander a powerful tool and device terminal to mount the partition rw while in the bootloader to rename a file backI renamed as a test that caused the system to stop booting.
You can still get some tabs that do that about 50 USD on eBay etc I think.

I'd strongly advise that you wait. My experience. You can root v4.4.2 VERY easily using vroot. Wait for lollipop, honestly. Is a nightmare recovering your position if you try to move now.

@ondoy1943. Update arrived for april here on 13th, I was glad to see that ota worked in my G1, you probably received it about that time too.. Have you noticed android N preview 2 is now shown available for GM4G,? . Suppose that means our G1 H220 is eligible too?.Any replies appreciated.
IQ-II (with GM OEM.prop) has received Android N Preview 2 via OTA.
But it seems, that 1GB RAM (GM has 2GB) is not enough for N. (at least with the Preview).
Slow (first) App start, Settings menu a little bit jerky, etc.
Even the telephone app needs 5-6 seconds to start
Additionally the file system has changed to "squashfs", so neither a working TWRP nor root.
ATM, MM is the better choice, at least for the 1GB RAM devices.

@vel_tins. Understand you vel. But as you prob know, The cherry mobile one G1 (H220) has 2gb Ram, This squashfs thingy you mentioned will probably be a sword in our side till twrp or other recovery gets round it?. Thanks for your view.

The Android N Preview 2 is officially only released for the
General Mobile 4G
I think, for a good reason...Will be interesting to see what happens with the 1GB RAM devices.
They use squashfs, because the image is fully bloated with useless Google crap apps, which could be installed from the Store anyway.
/system is now almost 3GB(!) uncompressed and doesn't fit into the system partition (when using ext4 fs).
As the title implies, I had an issue with my Shamu and the latest Magisk 19, so it ended up deleting my boot partition, making it impossible to boot up. I searched the thread of Pure Nexus but for my surprise, the latest build "purenexus_shamu-7.1.2-20170725-OFFICIAL.zip" had been deleted from Android File Host with no mirrors available. Luckily for me, I had on my OneDrive an older version of this amazing ROM, so I could use the boot.img embedded on it (didn't really knew if that would work, but it did!). So, I was wondering if anyone of you guys still have that file so I could update it on my cloud. Thanks in advance!
Also, if you could recommend me a nice Oreo or Pie ROM which has similar stability, features and is as close as AOSP as possible, would help a lot.
The PN you want is still there. I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago. When not using it, I reconmend AICP.
