Google announced Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) at the [[Google I/O]] conference on June 27, 2012. Based on Linux kernel 3.0.31, Jelly Bean was an incremental update with the primary aim of improving the functionality and performance of the user interface. The performance improvement involved "Project Butter", which uses touch anticipation, [[Multiple buffering|triple buffering]], extended [[vsync (computing)|vsync]] timing and a fixed frame rate of 60&nbsp;[[framerate|fps]] to create a fluid and "buttery-smooth" UI.<ref name="Android-4.1-devs" /> Android 4.1 Jelly Bean was released to the [[Android Open Source Project]] on July 9, 2012,<ref>{{cite web |last=Queru |first=Jean-Baptiste |title=Android 4.1 in AOSP |url=https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/XBYeD-bhk1o |access-date=July 12, 2012 |archive-date=January 22, 2011 |archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20110122130054/https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/XBYeD-bhk1o |url-status=live }}</ref> and the [[Nexus 7 (2012 version)|Nexus 7]] tablet, the first device to run Jelly Bean, was released on July 13, 2012.
