I’m sure that you attended the event yesterday, may be not in real but definitely LIVE with million others. And so it did happen, what we truly expected of this very event; the release of Jelly Bean 4.3. The event was not quite long, yet unveiled tons of changes and new additions and as Sundar Pichai was taking his steps on the stage, a lot was happening alongside, uploading of Jelly Bean 4.3 source code, factory images, binaries, updated apps and much more. Here we are going to highlight specifically on the latest Jelly Bean 4.3 source code which was pushed to the AOSP a few hours back. So, if you’re a developer, set your machines up and start syncing and later you compile.
The source is available, as usual on Google’s Official Repository under android-4.3_r2.1. You can also obtain the necessary drivers/binaries here.
