Only 6 months after it's release? Wow thanks samsung!
Ok, sarcasm aside, i guess giving the amount of devices that aren't even being updated at all, this is good news. But still, we know independent developers do nothing short of small miracles a few days after the official google release. Though i'm still imensly grateful to every dev and they're the only reason for me still having this phone, a proper samsung developing team with the proper resources has the obligation to do better and faster, so i can't help but to feel a bit screwed over by them. They surely aren't doing it because they care about the client, else their attitude would be different so there must be a different agenda in the background. On my expense. I shouldn't need to feel grateful when they release an update. Not when what i bought never worked properly to begin with with samsung's development nor it never will even with 3rd party development while samsung doesn't will it.
So, I'm not planning on still having my S3 by then. They didn't really do much during my phone's lifetime to keep me for a client. They still don't. To be rather honest all i found on samsung was disapointment. So, as soon as i'll have the chance, i'll try to replace it. I'm here to be proven wrong but my expectations for anything coming from samsung are really low at this point.

The way Omnirom is developing, they're soon going to make the stock ROM's obsolete. Stable nightly's coupled with "as good as stock" battery life, I'm definitely never going back to samsung base roms

I just installed OmniROM and it is already awesome, after adding customizable tiles in the quick select menu it will be perfect. The only thing that I miss from the stock rom is camera software and camera drivers and overall working. Everything else is better in OmniROM.

Well Omnirom has to deliver first.
I'm on Temaseks CyanogenRom V7 (started from V3) with Boeffla Kernel. Let's hope OmniRom does a good job. But until now, they also have just a more or less beta...

olol f*ck you sh!tty samsung.
wont be buying that sh1t again. S3 = SH!T 3
they'll tell us that touchwiz doesnt run on 4.4. thats why they cant release it
no more touchwiz devices for me.

We'll pray for that..:good:

That picture looks like the beginning of the reason why they're suddenly "delaying" the official 4.3 rollout.

ICS On Galaxy SII

I just managed to get ICS on my SII! Waited for so long and a little disapointed... There isn't that much of a difference from what I can see.
What were you expecting?
ICS is good as a secondary rom. This goes for official samsung releases as well as cm9/aosp/aokp.
Stick with gingerbread. It's still the best.

Yeah stock ics with touchwiz must be pretty depressing... But I would always prefer a good ics custom rom to one with GB! I love the ICS design

I'm not going to compare AOSP/AOKP roms with Samsung ICS. They are a joke compared to what you get in a stock samsung firmware.
Comparing samsung ics and gb... GB has less gestures and small polished features (contacts, dialer) however it offers the best browser on any phone. As a comparison, install flash player and open up youtube.com, scroll down and switch to the desktop version. Compare scrolling. zooming in. Now try to play a video using the browser. GB is super smooth never lags. Same goes with big websites that have lots of ads and flash content.
GB never force closes. It's super stable. It doesn't eat as much battery with screen on. It doesn't have the data usage info, nor the fancy task switching.
Also the stock samsung gallery is awful compared to what you get in aosp ics...
However, overall I rate it the highest for stability, functionality and great battery life. I'm sorry but ICS just doesn't cut it for me. To be honest I wish they would put out an anniversary gingerbread build with everything maxed out (like they do for the I9001 for example).
I'm not hating on ics. It's a step forward, it's just it hasn't reached the level of GB in terms of daily usage. Maybe one day.
if it wasnt for this free community android would be a mess or the manufacturers may feel obliged to make a better rom,
when you think about it samsung must use thier Android phones stock i wonder if they think its sufficient
go with hydrog3n-ICS ROM

Whatever, that's what they said about 4.2.2 and then 4.3 and look how well that's gone.
Bye bye Sucksung, the 6th Dec can't come soon enough. That's when I get my Nexus 5.
its ok if it will be delayed by 1-2 months more just give us a stable build not a unstable buggy crap as 4.3

Temaseks 4.4 is also my choice. My device feels like a totally new phone. Way faster, the 4.4 launcher is quite nice. But really.. the speed of the OS is amazing!
The link to the plus.google Mod above is misleading. It is not Samsungs 4.4 Kitkat with touchwiz, it is a compiled, unofficial CyanogenMod 4.4.
If you're into the Samsung Software which comes with TouchWiz, you'll have to wait until Samsung releases a 4.4 alpha/beta.. I didn't want to wait half a year for my device beeing lagfree, so I switched to CyanogenMod two weeks after I got my S3, never looked back.
Now on Temaseks 4.4 Kitkat sweets:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797109
Well , if its true , i personaly beleave it will be awesome, as fast as CM/Aosp.
If you look at the 4.3 atm its extreamly fast , responsive , i havent had any redraws in days and some 350mb ram free all the time.
With 4.4 it can just be even better and ... 400+ MB ram free ?
I have very high expectations for 4.4 TouchWizz roms.
Who's betting we won't actually get a fix for the botched 4.3 update anbd they will let it carry on till they kick this out, which will probably as others have said, be later than expected
If that happens and they leave my phone in this state till springtime I swear I will never ever buy a samsung product in my life again. Why don't they just give as an option to undo the update? They admitted that there was a problem by pulling it. Make it right then.

i guess they will release a patch for 4.3 update and the suggested date for android 4.4 will be delayed
well hope the news is true
and get ready to get new phone already lol
samsung has released 4.4 update for s4 google play edition so maybe we might get the 4.4 update on time(as suggested mar-apr 2014)

Android lollipop and Samsung.

Android lollipop apps have been ported and I have installed some of them my favorite being display in the pictures below.

I really really hope Samsung would take this new os and really give us something beautiful for our note 4 or if a developer can make a GPE rom for this device we will be golden.

Why am I not impressed at all with any of the android L implementations?
It's nothing really innovative that I can see, just different shapes... honestly like touchwiz 42.2, 4.3, 4.4.4 looks better... wouldn't mind seeing their overlay on things...
The Android L that Samsung puts out will not be the same.
It will have all of the Samsung Bloatware and cartoony images.
I have the Android Lollipop update installed on my Nexus 5 and it's beautiful, mostly because it's pure Android and not this TW crap.
With Samsung, it's going to be Android 5.0 Lollipop Touchwiz.
Not to worry, there will be a port as soon as we get custom recovery and custom roms coming out.

[ROM][6.0.1] CyanogenMod 13.0 Builds [6.0.1_r63]

Hello everyone, after a great success on building roms for bacon device. I've decided to share my work with other devices. So now I share with oneplus 3. After positive feedback on the rom today I'll publish here the rom.
Kernel and Device tree are untouched so everything should be working smoothly. You can use a custom kernel in case you like, but i'll only give support to stock kernel as I do not yet own an device. So CM bugs are basically also our bugs, and from what I know there is none. Still I'm open to suggestions.
Download
GAPPS
Features:
Updated SQL to 3.14.1.0
Optimized SQL code for faster Read/Write
Optimized Build with custom toolchain on ROM and Kernel
Improved sound with speex resampler
Optimized native frameworks for our device
Proguard 5.2.1
Updated Google Webview
Immersive mode
Expanded Notifications
Snapdragon Camera
Network Monitor
More coming soon
I'm a very praticle user, and my aim will be to get a very fluid stable system, at same time with speed and battery, keeping most stock possible with the optimizations which will improve for real our experience.
Thanks
