The important bit reads that the S3 will get JB in late November.
Stock ICS on my S3
hey guys noob question
who cares about rogers releasing jelly bean if theres already roms with jelly bean integrated into it. im assuming its samsung official jelly bean rom thats being released but what advantage does it have over aokp or cm10?

There are certain optimizations to this phone which Samsung keeps closed source. Having an official release may allow devs to take advantage of them.
Case in point: try doing a quadrant benchmark on both a touchwiz and aosp ROM and you'll see that the difference is profound.

There are alot of users still on the original software, i am one of them. I never found one that looks or feels good like the original. Happy to see that JB will be here soon.
ugh that sucks rogers changed the date to early December but it seems as though a lot of the releases from other carriers have a lot of issues so hopefully bu the time we get it it will be worked out
Hopefully 4.2 will not be long after.
i can't stand Rogers.
Best choice i ever made was leaving them.

Don't hold your breath.
Are there any ROMs based of Touchwiz 4.1.2 with multi screen and the premium suite features? If there isn't one, someone should make one since they leaked a 4.1.2 for the I9300 version.
No there isn't yet

I tried to get multiscreen on Serenity as a 4.1.1 rom, but that didn't work for me. Anyone have a working multiscreen rom at all? I am willing to settle for that. I want to get my S3 back so badly. T-Mobile takes forever to fulfill warranties.

As far as right now.. The Devs are porting the multi view feature
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
What Rom would you recommend to me if I want to use multi screen?
to address your "wants" i suggest wait for it cuz it the moment all of the ROM in this thread DOESN'T HAVE ""YET"" the multi screen feature i myself is still searching for that too and am patiently waiting for it
How long did it take from the leak of the 4.1.1 for the international version to get the source code and rewrite it to be compatible with the T999 version? How long did it take carriers like T-Mobile to get the 4.1.1 to their customers since the leak?

i personally dont want to ask for an eta because i dont even ask the devs here for those (nor will i ever ) but if they would at least say " hey we are working on it and here are the problems we are having" saying that would be such a nice gesture and maybe some devs would help out so they could hurry up and push the update

The t989 devs have put out a literal tonne of jb roms already.
And if you are talking about xda devs helping get official jb out....well.....I will just say not gonna happen. Xda devs are not affiliated with google, samsung or the carriers in any way.
So...I could care less when official jb comes out....cause I've been running it already for months!

I just installed embryo 6.8 today. So far so good! Was using Whitehawkz Aokp 4.2.2 for about a month...its very good! I just wanted to try a TW rom again, since last time I did there were alot more issues on the t989. Seems most of its been ironed out now....even have signal bars now.
Anyway, those are the 2 I've used recently. There are a bunch of great current roms tho! Just read thru the different rom threads to see what folks are saying about them.
Remember....for what I do with my phone I have very few if any issues....but for what you do with your phone...that could be different. Just nandroid a safe good backup....and flash anything that appeals to you. If you don't like, then restore your nandroid.
Have fun!

There are a few JB roms with ported S3 themes and apps, check the dev section and find one you like.

some things can be ported (like themes), but some of the apps are hardware specific and probably wouldn't work on our phone.

If you're asking if this almost 2 year old device will be updated to support features of a yet unreleased flagship device, then the answer is no

T-Mobile has announced software updates for the many of the devices I've used over the years and rarely have they ever followed through. There are plenty of JB ROMs that are worth looking at that will blow any T-Mo OTA out of the water.
And the T989 doesn't have the hardware capacity to run what the S4 will be able to run.
so i have been browsing for a new rom to update my phone but all of them are JB roms. or i must be blind.
can someone just point me to a STOCK like rom not a JB rom.
i greatly appreciate it!

he's correct. actually, if you have any US carrier variant of the S3, you should not be looking at ROMs that are running or support 4.1.2. they are not for your device. stay here in the AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III forum

Try team Synergy's SynergyROM. It feels and looks stock but it's really amped up with tons of customization options and floating multi-window.
Don't forget to hit Thanks if I've been helpful.
I am saving towards a Galaxy S4, but in the meantime, I was wondering if there is a Rom that can make my S3 look and feel like a S4?
Thank you!
If you're talking about the features like eye tracking and finger hovering over and stuff like that then no. Its nearly impossible to port those things since its completely different hardware and TouchWiz is closed source. There is a couple of ROMs that have multi-window and other goodies but not like the S4. You can search and look around for a modified S4 launcher and theme to make it look like one. But that's as close as you'll get.

Yes, to answer your original question. There is a way to make it look like the S4.
Hyperdrive [XDA Link] - It has a few of the widgets that the S4 has as seen in the screenshots. Other than that, I would say hold off for official updates on the S3.

Only issue is the i747 and i747M seem to be the forgotten models when it comes to updates. I just read that the Verizon model just received the 4.1.2 update, and quite recently Sprint and T-Mobile received it. Also, the i9300 just got the 4.2.2 update. Meanwhile, the most used S3 (i747/i747M) hasn't received anything, nor have there been any news or hints regarding updates.

BS... ATT themselves don't have 4.1.2
they probably do but its unreleased.
Lol if you do please PLEASE provide a system dump and help the devs out. If you do why didn't you say so if every stock TW ROM on xda is only 4.1.1.
If you had it wouldn't you of noticed every single ATT S3 out there was different from yours? .... Sorry and apologize for the language but its straight BS
And here is the direct link to an ATT s3 that only ships with 4.1

My AT&T SGH-i747 only came with 4.1.1. (Somehow, I thought I had 4.1.2; but, apparently I was wrong.)
I was also searching for ways to upgrade the software to make it more S4-like. If I must wait, then I must wait. But I really enjoy tinkering with it.
Until recently, I had AOKP Android 4.2.2 on it, but an update (9-10-2013) caused my phone, messaging, and several other apps to disappear.
So now, I'm back to the original factory, unlocked, unrooted, stock Android 4.1.1.
It wants to do an AT&T update, but I don't know what the update is. So, I haven't approved it yet. I want to go back to AOKP, but I can't find the file I used with ODIN to root it the first time.

If you are going to AOKP, I think you just need to flash a recovery, i.e. CWM or TWRP and flash the rom of your choice.
flash rom to 4.1.2
As long as you're not rooted the built in OTA updater in the Settings should update you to 4.1.2. I recommend CF Auto Root and pwncakes' Quantum rom (4.3) if you like AOSP, if not, Hyperdrive is easily the most complete TW rom.
