What do you think guys? Could samsung update our Note too? Or the incomplete and horrible battery optimized "official" jelly bean was the last update?. I think the last update will be Key Lime Pie, then the Cyannogen team will keep our phone alive for some time...
Sorry my bad english!

I guess there's no way we will see that update. I really hope im wrong, but we can thank god for having jellybean, knowing samsung...

And if we are lucky to see that update from Samsung on our Galaxy Note, then it will be after the Galaxy Note 3 is out.
I'm pretty sure on that.

Or it can be the same as with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4
We all know that 4.0.3 was like "beta" but 4.0.4 solved the issue. Let's home that our new 4.0.4 will be 4.2.1

I'm actually still trying to get a full working JB update on my phone (some laggs, etc... compared to a LG Optimus L9 which I got of my contract yesterday my Note with 4.1 seems to be working on Froyo... And the LG is on ****ing 4.0 on which my Note seemed to be on 1.0 compared to that speed... Why can't Samsung just do it right like LG? Actually trying to sell the LG though^^)
But I surely hope that we will se 4.2 on our Note. 5.0 Would be pretty amazing for Samsung... If the Note 1 gets 5.0 I will wait to buy a new phone. My plans were to buy the Note 3. But if my Note gets 5.0 I see no reason why... I love 16:10, 5.3", etc... 16:9 just sucks imho...
But if we think about it, it is already amazing that the S2 and even the old S1 (Advanced) got some Beans... Maybe it is not impossible for the Note to get at least one major update like 4.2... I'm really excited to see what Google will show us on the I/O about Android 5...

Oh, No. For God's sake, Not again.

Google are supporting handset makers with 4.2.1 in a way they haven't with previous upgrades, so chances are slightly better than normal. I wonder if this has anything to do with 4.2.1 crippling most ad-blockers...

I heard galaxy note will skip 4.2.1 and jumps to 4.2.2 lol jk! even the nexus10 struggles to 4.2.2

Which is why "officially" you'll probably not see 5.0 on the Note1. Two reasons, hardware probably can't keep up, and the main reason, it
would go against their bottom line. They sell hardware, and if they keep adding features, making the original better, faster stronger, why would anyone bother to purchase a new one? Same thing for a carrier locked version. Keep it at the old level long enough, and when people come into a store complaining, push them into a new one, extend the contract, and do that over and over again.

Airtel is trolling it's customers, I think. Guys who have the Galaxy y and Galaxy r are getting the same message :silly:

Galaxy Gear compatibility comes to the Samsung Galaxy S 4, S3, Note 2 and more

Didn't see this here yet.... shoot me if it is.
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/23/galaxy-gear-compatibility-gs4-gs3-note2/
If you wanted live out your Inspector Gadget fantasies, but lacked the Galaxy Note 3 needed to take full advantage of the possibilities, we've got good news. Samsung's bringing compatibility for its Galaxy Gear to the previously-mentioned Galaxy S 4 as well as the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II through an Android 4.3 update. While those are the big ones, the wearable will soon hook up to a whole swathe of Samsung devices (Galaxy S4 Mini, S4 Active, Mega 5.8, Mega 6.3, and Galaxy S4 Zoom) in an update arriving at the end of October. Naturally, the typical proviso for different release dates in different countries remains, but those flagship devices mentioned earlier will get the earliest access -- and will also be able to make and answer calls with the Gear, like a real inspector.

Hopefully sooner than later I can use my GNII with the Gear.

This is great.. hopefully I can get it to work finally. So far installing the .apk on my mega hasn't been successful. Always stuck in syncing.

You can use your Galaxy Note 2 with your GEAR via Android 4.3 as the following link for downloading rom : https://www.4shared.com/zip/CJdXMW_o...100XXEM16.html

Then you can use Note2 with GEAR,,
*** Wanna know your Note2 code is : N7100 ?? If yes, GO FOR IT. If not ... you have to wait.

I have been trying to hard to find a rom of 4.3 to use on my sprint s4 but the only one i find is real buggy with sms....anyone else have a sprint version s4 and found a rom.....

So to clarify: which device will get an update for Gear to work on it? Does the Gear or whatever device (S3, S4, etc) need the update for gear to work with it? I don't see that specific piece of info.

It was already posted. And we already knew that 4.3 rom = gear support (however supposedly that wasn't official if this is the official confirmation?!?)

That is for i9500 aka regular S4.
This forum is about Active one and thos i9500 roms wont fit in i9295.
Of course I truly hope that we saw 4.4 in our device one day, but so far it seems like very distant future.

[Q] Official KiKat for s3 LTE

Hi everyone! Yesterday Samsung has realesed official kitkat for the note 3 neo!
Anyone knows when Samsung will realese KitKat for our phone galaxy s3 LTE
I am currently using communty rom its good but battery life is very bad!
Thanks in advance

I think that Samsung stop updating our phone because it's already 2 years old. The last firmware on samsung-updates.com was uploaded 58 days ago.. And the note 3 neo is one of the latest phones

I talked with a samsung agent from Samsung US he said S3 4G will get KitKat but he dont know when !! maybe these days because note 3 neo users were waiting for the update since 4months

I think we can bury the idea of ​​kit kat for our smartphone. Samsung does not know those commitments and that's really sad.

KitKat will come

they said that they havnt a precise day for updating their phones I thinks the update will be availble in the end of tthis month

the update for the 4G version of the S3 will come...FOR SURE....but the actual date no one knows....so we just have to be patient....

Are you using the djb version of the community rom? My battery life with it was similar to stock after adjusting the AGNi settings a bit (some minor undervolting and underclocking).

Android 5.1. update is LIVE!! Yay! Build G925FXXU2BOFJ

T-Mobile Galaxy S5 just got the 5.1 update, build G900TUVU1FOF6.
The international set used to receive before US-sets but it seems T-Mobile is bucking the trend. Anyway, hope it is ported soon. Or we have our own official 5.1 firmware soon. :good:

Here's the link http://31.220.4.75/dl/TMB-G900TUVU1FOF6-20150622093044.zip
I wonder if we can run this on 900f with a custom kernel? What's the worst thing that would happen: soft brick? or need to flash ofw in odin?
Edit: Here's a mega mirror.
And here's a system dump with APK's and whatnot .

Can anyone post some screenshot of this release? Thanks in andvance!

Anything from the s6 included? Mostly interested in the new theme engine.

No new theme engine. Typical Samsung-style move - artificially forcing previous models to look and feel old by not updating touchwiz on them.

Samsung don't seem to introduce features from the new phones to older devices. Seen the same thing every year

Remember that Galaxy S2, born with Android 2.3.3, received the "Nature UX" namely TouchWiz 5.0 with same features of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on Galaxy S3. Maybe they think that the new Touchwiz is no such new than the "older" one on S5 KitKat nay on S5 Lollipop with white UI.

But that was a whole year after the S3 was released. And even then they disabled little things like waterrings unlock etc ONLY to make a point that the S2 is not the S3.

Hello,
Is there camera RAW/DNG support? (Camera2 API)

Some people are saying that there isn't any raw support, I can't confirm it though.

Yeah, best case scenario for when we get an official s6 rom is a whole year from now.
If they're gonna copy Apple and the iphone they might as well copy their update style and keep all devices with the same os and ui...

Although the thread has started with the Idea of Port, it has become Firmware Feature discussion. That should be happening in [SM-G900/F/K/L/W8/A/T/M] S5 Firmware Thread
Any firmware should be posted in that thread if its not there already. You can choose to Work with that OP if need be. This one needs to close as its duplication.
