What happened to all these great Roms we were supposed to get?

Just curious where all these Roms for our Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 are?

We have lots of them ..which "great one " are you waiting for :what:

Seems like many of the DEVs have left Sprint for Verizon and/or decided they like their Note2's better.A lot of the rest all seem to be obsessed with AOSP/AOKP/CM Roms despite the fact that it removes most of the functionality that makes this phone great.
Unfortunately the blind hatred of TouchWiz for no good reason is hurting this phone.

Learn to build your own rom.

Ya on all the aosp the cameras are not even close to the stock one"unless there is a stock camera apk .".I see your point.. really haven't looked at it like that..that being said I would still never go back .pacman with faux =:beer::beer:

There are as many good roms for the Sprint version as there are for the others. Also, you guys should feel lucky that that Sprint has felt charitable enough to not lock this device down like Verizon and AT&T have as devs are indeed leaving those versions even as we speak.....

I don't even think I have seen a single Dev from either the epic touch community or gs3 go from sprint to Verizon.I've seen ATT and T-Mobile. Anyways we have many great devs in our community. And you can't expect every single one that you like to get the same phone as you. Since we don't all have upgrades at the same time. Some may have used it on a gs3 and now can't upgrade until gs5 or simply don't have the money to upgrade. We are all regular people. My guess is that by black Friday time we will have many more devs come over. This happened with the gs3. The number of Roms jumped a lot from what I remember since some people were able to get the gs3 for a penny with an upgrade.
And since when is there a blind hatred for touch wiz. Over the past two years I have seen more people prefer Touchwiz Roms over AOSP based. Easy comparison, check the number of posts and views of all aosp based Roms to that of touchwiz. And tell me which one has more. This goes for the sprint gs3 as well. From my view Touchwiz is the most stable and fully functional ROM for Samsung phones.

We have solid roms. Also take note this phone is still fairly new. Another thing to remember is that many people use stock rooted since this phone provides a rock solid experience. We got official cm support pretty much at launch the s2 never was like that

Too bad Calkulin went to another carrier.

I think op is referring to omega and other roms being ported. I seem to recall some devs not wanting th roms ported by others, but did say they would port it themselves.

Anyone else notice in his signature he's running version 3.0.0 and he only ever released version 2.0.0? :silly:

Android 4.4 Kit Kat - huh??

Isn't that trademarked by Nestlé? I wonder how much cash has traded hands.

My main concern is that they usually only make significant UI changes with major numerical version updates. Since it's 4.4 and not 5.0, my thought is that there will be probably a few new features within more or less the same UI. That's not a problem, per se, but in my opinion the current Android UI is getting a little stale and could really use a refresh (especially the launcher). That's mainly what I'm hoping for in the next version of Android. I suppose we only have a couple months until we find out for sure though.

My thoughts as well, though I will say that they do have a good thing going right now. Plus, Jelly Bean was a significant improvement over ICS.
PS. Where are all the KitKat ROM's?

The overall theme basically hasn't changed since ICS. That's why I was hoping for version 5 and a refreshed UI. Jelly Bean is nice looking, but it's getting a little stale. We don't want the exact same look version after version like iOS

Not sure if anyone answered this, but they both agreed that they wouldn't pay each other anything. KitKats become advertised subconsciously and Android gets a simple catchy name.

I personally like the way android's interface is right now. Besides there are many options with custom romming and custom launchers that allows you to customize it so much that a "major upgrade" isn't necessary. Just my opinion though.

When are they gonna release the freaking thing?

OH REALLY?
Please send me a link to a Sprint GS4 4.3 leak or ROM. The international and other GSM carriers have a leak which has been ported to the Sprint gs4, but this isnt from sprint. So how do you expect to have a 4.4 KitKat Official update to the Sprint GS4 in the next month or so if we don't even have 4.3 yet. It at least another 1 month before we get 4.3 official update. then another 2-3 months for 4.4 update. Which puts it in the Jan/Feb range. So do not tell me I am ignorant and stupid.

Is it worth $150?

My friend is selling my his for $150. Is it worth it?
I'm using Galaxy S3 i747 as well, AOKP. That probably wouldn't work, so I'll have to reformat back to Stock or a variation.

Definitely - especially since a Pebble Watch or Fitbit Force will cost you about the same. It'll work with AOKP just have to do a few work arounds.

Full functionality with the exception of S-Voice (though I have read others have been able to get it working - i'm not really interested in S-Voice just yet).
Notifications I had to manage without using Gear Manager (the latest Gear update added a HUGE notification update) using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597260
You may have better luck getting gear manager to work on your S3. I had too many issues trying to get it to work and once I got notifications to work using the method above - stopped caring about Gear Manager.

You probably didn't think about it before you posted but this is a pretty insulting thread. Most of us paid $299 so either we're idiots or thought it was worth $299 when we bought it. This comes across more as you bragging about the "deal" you're getting than a real question meant to be answered.

Next gear is coming out soon..
I don't see it as insulting. You pay a premium for bleeding edge, we all know that.

I'm not going to comment on all that dev drama crap. It sucked. I'm over it. Anyways KR is still kick ass for me and so I'm staying. I'm kitkat spolied. We can't get any AOKP or cynagenmod so this is the tip of it. The sad thing is that a talented dev screwed us and himself on the donation front. Damn I said I wouldn't go there......my bad.
Sent from my Note 3 "Ghostwerks style".....using your mom's hacked AT&T wifi.....dig it?

I plan on staying with KitKat even though my favorite rom is gone. Not sure what to think about the situation but I guess my phone will continue to run KR5.6 until I find something better. I think it is unlikely that Note 3 users will get anything better than what we saw with that particular dev even though it was a pretty shady situation.
Just my opinion...

Can somebody please send me a valid link to kr5.6? Maybe Dropbox or something just so I can experience it? I wasn't around to grab it b4 the drama or whatever was going on

Oh wells, like someone else said on this thread. Someone will figure out the porting process and take care of us AT&T users.

I'm still using KR for now until a better KitKat ROM is out. I wasn't experiencing any issues except a messaging fc when using the pen to show a preview. I was able to fix this by flashing another ROM and using titanium backup to backup messages and flash back to KR then do a restore in titanium. So I guess I'm staying for now.

The reason it gets brought up so much is because people actually did care for his work and it's sad that he tarnished his great work but now this gives us all an opportunity to try other devs great work..just wish we had a flash able kit kat rom that can be flashed via the new safestrap..my computer is actin up and don't want to risk my pic shutting down in middle of an Odin flash

Ain't to much changed on 5.1.1 sprint seem the same to me. Feel a little smoother only time will tell.

Nothing special about 5.1.1 but a bunch of internal fixes, no noticeable changes. Its going to work for some, but not for others, as always...
