Hi,
I have searched everywhere but I have never seen a real answer to this question: is the 5.1.1 update bring the touchwiz update? What does it bring exactly?
^A little bit less lag when using the recent apps button. Otherwise: Nothing but numbers.
So it doesn't bring the tw update...

When Samsung update the freakin' Note 4 to 5.1.1 we may end up getting the new TouchWix UX or whatever it's called, but in all honesty I don't think that's going to happen (just my opinion)- we'll probably get the new TouchWiz with Android M.

The American variants have 5.1.1 and don't have the new tw and theme engine.
When we do get 5.1.1 it will make it a lot easier to port s6 and n5 features though so you will see lots of custom roms with the new launcher

Got to be honest I agree. Apart from the cm roms for the 910f development has just about stopped. I've tried miui on my old n2 but never tried porting it.
Hopefully now we have the n5 system development should start to pick up

Att doesn't have 5.1.1.
I should know since I'm using an unrootable n910a on their network. No update yet. Still on 5.0.1.

This provides a quick list of changes and you can quickly see the key ones when comparing 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 these changes + updated Samsung apps and services.
Another question does anyone have experience with LG? How long does their phones take to get the new updates for example the G3 their previous flagship
Good question re LG updates
maybe ask that one in the LG forums!!!
5.1.1 for n910C is out in Poland.

My last phone was an LG, but was also an ATT phone. Updates took around 1-2 months to receive after other variants of my phone got their updates. But LG released their updates at about the same speed at Samsung IMO. However, I think they at least kept people up to date with ETAs.

Hey guys, i've called Samsung Brasil and they told me that our S3 Mini will get the 4.2.2 update in the upcoming weeks, they are planning to make it before december 20th. Great news for us!!! They complete it with what's new: Some apps will have the s4 look, lockscreen with camera widget... So, let's wait.
This is NOT a joke, i've really talked to Samsung Brasil, try calling yours country's Samsung.

Did they finally updated drivers
WHile the other deviced got directly 4.3 we will have 4.2.2? At least something.
4.2.2 ...? i dont want to be negative but... 4.2.2 is already old, now we have 4.4 wating for OEMs to update his own skins... :silly:
At least samsung should update our device to 4.3 since they skipped the 4.2.2 as the normal S3, plus, our device have never received an android update beyond android 4.1.x.
Every update is cool, I know, but come on, other samsung devices are getting 4.3, why ours not?
Because they want us to buy new phones :thumbdown:

Is this real? I don't believe it very much but anyway 4.2 is good because in 4.3 weren't actual changes. I hope we get these s 4 apps they are just awesome

Yes but it's bearable. In cm there are variate bugs as random reboots etc. Also stock ROM has Samsung apps and Touchwiz which I personally like it. I will probably go back to stock update if it comes and when cm 4.4 kitkat is released by maclaw I will return to it...
I really doubt they are going to release a update to our phone... But obviously I would love that to happen

/articles/41506/20151008/android-5-1-1-lollipop-final-ota-update-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-could-be-this-month.htm
Android 5.1.1 Lollipop final over-the-air (OTA) upgrade will be rolled out to Samsung Galaxy S2 handsets. It will arrive this year with security patches and performance enhancements.
Samsung Galaxy S2 devices, both under the mobile carriers and unlocked version, are expected to get the final OTA report on the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop upgrade in December or October. While it may appear unlikely for a few that a device run presently Jelly Bean will receive the upgrade, a lot of analysts are convinced of the likelihood as a few Samsung mid-range and older devices have been getting Lollipop's official software edition by a string of upgrades in September, iUSB Preface reported.

Maybe. I have CM 12.1 nightly and it is mostly OK, except that Bluetooth is still broken, like it has been in 5.x all the time. The last stable CM that has working Bluetooth is SlimSaber 4.4.4.
Will it be available for S2 HD? (SGH-i757M)
It would be cool becouse there is no lolipop ROM for our devise and all KitKats lag pretty much. Despite the devise has faster hardware than original S2. It's just lacks good software development, unfortunately.
Imho isn't true...I hope but i don't believe

It's so funny...
Sammy has not released 5.1.1 update for the previous "flashship" Galaxy S5, not corrected stagefright, and don't care about i9100 since several years...
Of course it is fake... They skipped 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0
Why would they release 5.1.1???
I don't believe it, its an old phone.. And we haveCyanongen 5.1.1 thanks to LA

Why?
Exynos variants can only get TW roms due to the source not being open. Snapdragon variants could but they have locked bootloader so not possible at the moment.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
People should be reverse engineering exynos as a time will come where samsung will only use exynos in the future. I'm actually amazed they haven't fully switched to tizen for phones but I'm sure that will also happen
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I have the Exynos version. Can someone please explain in detail, why I can't get it? I don't really understand, as I can see people making new roms for the s7. And, is there anyway to port/take the things and make a miui rom?
Making TouchWiz roms is just modding them.
Full custom roms like miui and cm need a source to work from to make drivers etc. No such source has been released from Samsung for the exynos. This is why there has always been cm on snapdragon as the source code is released for that as Sammy doesn't own snapdragon chips.
Hope this is clear. It's not hardout detail but it's the jist of it.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I had used a HTC One M7 three years back or so and fell absolutely in love with changing roms etc to suit my needs. Went back to my iPhone after that and have now shifted back to S7 Edge. I was unaware of all this source code etc and thought the modding scene would be the same. But here I am, stuck with a stupid TW od Sammy. Such a beautiful device and I cant unlock all its power. I feel like I am still using iOS as I cant modify my phone.
Planning on selling my S7E for something more open like a OP3.
I'd love this! Miui is far more pleasurable to use than the TW rom currently installed.. It makes me sad that the S7 is so locked up. Rip aosp && sammy <\3
hence why im selling the s7 and getting the alcatel idol 4s..cant beat the price and its gorgeous design
Even if it is fully unlocked.. MIUI patchrom only supports kitkat, S7 edge comes preloaded with Marshmallow so we have no drivers for kitkat.
Until they release MIUI 8 patchrom with MM base we can't do a lot. And even when they will do that, editing smali files + fixing bugs will take "some" time too.
Note 4 has MIUI patchrom cause it's first android was 4.4 which gave them kitkat bootloader.

I didn't know that the G900H is so ignored by Samsung. Thanks for your clarification though but I think Marshmallow has doze still. And I've tried the CM13 rom that's not finished and it's super smooth. I wish I could get the same feeling with Touchwiz though.
wrong section !! samsung not doing any rom because he know all people like change phone all years

Galaxy S5 is the first device which updated with 3 main updates

6.0.1
I think it's impossible to get 4th main update

And thats the tactics of the worlds cheapest and best and non monopolistic manufacturers like Samsung,Huawei and so on.
Although it's always possible to get the newest android version ported for the most/all old Smartphone devices , they don't do it.
I "wondering " why they don't update their own manufactured devices, ; )
