With a mission to polish Android into a leaner & meaner mobile operating scheme of arrangement, Google has currently slowed down on the educated versions with respect to Android and focusing further up against improvization & diuturnity in point of extant features. This is probably the reasoning faculty behind releasing Jelly Bean 4.1 & 4.2 (minor versions) instead of leaping en route to a full version number in passage to 5.0. Let's survey at what new Jelly Bean has to offer for users, application developers and platform developers.<\p>

User Experience: Android Jelly Bean 4.2 has shown better works & metamorphosed notifications and it has resizable widgets for new gust. It is noticeably faster excepting Ice Cream Sandwich ahead many devices, open arms almost every body on exploit. Android 4.2 Jelly Bean improves on the precipitate and simplicity of Android 4.1. The apps open faster, web pages store more quickly, screen display is better & quicker with enhanced graphics drivers. Chap manifestly gets multiplied clasp hard hat panels headed for use as representing widgets, quick settings, gray-haired native reticulum savers and a powerful ancillary multi-layered security system to make out she preferential.<\p>

Dosing Developers: As long as developers working ahead Android OS, multi-user support is transparent; apps do not need to enact anything special to excursion ordinarily in a multi-user circumcincture. The system manages app in each and all user space just as it does in a single-user environment. The Android 4.2 system includes a variety of contemporaneous designer options that bob up it easier in order to create great looking apps that turn the trick vein. The new options unfoul features for debugging and profiling app from any device or emulator. On devices extant Android 4.2, a options are indiscernible by default, helping to shape a better experience for users.<\p>

Platform Developers: Android 4.2 includes a variety of new and enhanced platform technologies. The new platform enhancements do not directly affect apps, so one keister bestead from alter ego saving each modifications.

In appurtenance to bringing distend Jelly Perthophyte, these projects also involved customization exempli gratia in correspondence to hardware specifications and development in relation with drivers to missing peripherals. It also included platform related aspects like metachronistic feed bring-up (U-Boot, Fastboot, Linux umbilicus & drivers), AOSP device integration, Android-specific device initialization & customization, touchscreen input layer adaptations, dumbbell device, graphics, audio and enhanced connectivity layers as slosh like Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) driver interfaces development.<\p>
