is it possible to flash my epic 4g touch using samsung galaxy player 5.0 rom?
I was thinking about using one of this rom http://androidevolved.com/forums/ga...-etc/1389-samsung-galaxy-player-5-0-roms.html
I want a rom without the phone feature and all the bloat ware that comes with it. I got the s3 as my phone. I'm assuming the samsung galaxy player only has feature that are for use as media player not the crapware.
First I would research what hardware the Galaxy Player has, does it have the same hardware as our Sprint Galaxy S II?
If yes, that's the first step in running one of those ROMs on this device. Next, try to flash it using a known safe recovery. Does it boot? If yes, you're getting closer. What works? What doesn't? How much work is needed to make it something everyone can try if they decide to do the same with their device?
If the hardware is the same, give it a shot and share your experience with us. I would be interested in something like this.

Very interesting, I would be interested also, compared to my sons eyeplop ,my Epic has superior sound quality, so I plan on keeping my Epic touch after I upgrade.

Go under software and you can see some of the features if you guys still don't know much about the SGS3 yet and what it is capable of. I'm sure with the brilliant and dedicated developers we have, they can definitely pull most of the things off on that last that does not require special sensors. So what do you guys think? I'm ready for S voice, smart alert, face and voice unlock, and the plethora of other things that the S3 has to offer.
I could be wrong, but I don't see Samsung updating older phones with those 'new' features if they want you to go out and buy their new SIII.
Though a few of those features has alternative means.

I think he's talking more so about if developers would be able to port those features to the galaxy nexus. Pretty safe to say samsung won't be officially handing them out but that's not to discount the great xda devs being able to port them.

Some features do look nice but not enough to changed my galaxy nexus... anyways some features probably will come to jelly bean I mean ICS has a lot features the CM and some other "roms " had in the past just like iOS adding a lot jailbreak tweeks is something is good someone will copy it happens just Google has to find a better way to implement the technology . The phone does not look bad and for the first time I don't feel like I need to upgrade my phone ( I had over 8 devices in the last 2 years ) and I'm really happy with my nexus

I'm hearing you there, this is the first Android phone I'm utterly in love with. It's so wonderful, fast, gorgeous display and it looks good too. I've had five Androids since 2010 and I'm going to be sticking to this one for a while. As Cyanogenmod development steams along I see no reason to look elsewhere.
Certainly the Galaxy III is a sexy phone but it's just not worth the cash for the extra features to me. Especially since it will be another wait until Cyanogenmod reaches a decent level of development for that phone.

$5 says its going to be all the features introduced in Sense 4 and Touchwiz on the GSIII.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I know I'm getting the features because I'm getting the phone. And no I don't think the gn will get some of the features due to CPU and GPU power and nfc speeds .
CPU and GPU on mirroring all share cast.
Nfc speeds on the s beam.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I am pretty sure that the GNex will get most of the features of the SGSIII eventually, either officially or unofficially!
What do you mean NFC Speeds on S-Beam? S-Beam works by initiating an NFC Connection, which then establishes a WiFi Direct connection between the devices to send the files, so there is no reason that GNex couldn't have it?
So now that the Galaxy SIII is on it's way, any SIII leaks around for the SII? I am very interested to see how the Touch Wiz imports to the SII.
Thanks!

You can be sure work on a ported of the GS3 rom is going on somewhere, by someone. Give the devs some time.
Even though both phones are GalxayS devices they are quite different from one another so it will take some time to get things working.

I have the S3, and S4's 441 ppi Screen is tempting me, but won't our GS3, have those features through a ROM? So should I upgrade or not?
Probably not. Unless you want Touchwiz running on the latest and greatest android build the GS4 is probably not the best way to go if you already have a GS3. Not to mention all those new features will be gone the minute you flash an aosp ROM. So YES if you want Toichwiz on the latest android version (4.2.2) but NO if you're an aosp guy or if you can handle waiting for the new features to be released on the GS3.

If in fact our tmobile s3 do not have an LTE radio then I myself might switch. I currently have the note 2 as well and I'm not 100% happy with either phones.

hmm feel like not worth to upgrade it
too few improvement
S4 is too much like the note 2.
Only plus for me is the quad core.
Transmitted from my SGH-T999.
I'll be upgrading to an S4, without replacing my existing S3 phone.
Outside the 1080P display, the TV remote and some biometric sensors, I'll have the same phone!
Samsung has already been quoted as releasing the software apps that do not require specific S4 hardware for the S3 and Note II. Look for it later this year.
Well if you're getting it for development don't count on many also Roms as cm team have already mentioned that they are not supporting the gs4. :/

Does anybody think we will ever see a Galaxy S 4 ROM port? Based off the T-Mobile Galaxy S 4? Just wondering.
I didn't bother upgrading due to a lil change! Would you be sporting the ROM if its ported?
You should know what the likeliness of that is... And if its stable I'm sure lots would.

I seriously doubt it, so far the devs could not even port a S3 i9300 rom for our phones.
But I am sure the devs are working real hard on porting all the S4's new apps which
are missing from the S3 as well as the S4 camera.
There already are a few apps which came from the S4 which seem to work fine in our S3.
I would really like to see the S4 ported, but I would only use it if it had Wifi Calling.
The main reason why I am not using any ported roms is due to the lack of wifi calling plus all the other bugs ported roms seem to have.
I think there will be s4 ports for the S3, will they be perfect? Maybe in time.
I might try it out for a little while, but most likely stick with aospa. I couldn't stand not having PA hybrid settings as well as theme chooser.

Considering we have the Galaxy S3 slated for a Key Lime Pie 5.0.release we will have tons of ports of Galaxy S4. By the start of summer (June) I'm sure we will see more about it everywhere.

I just hope that the Lime Pie 5.0 is nothing like the current lmt pie.
The current pie should have come in two flavors, one for the DEVS and the other for average users. LOL
Here's the thing... The international S3 had completely different hardware. Qualcomm has been historically easier to port over because they use common code.
So I fully believe that in the next month or two, we will see S4 ports. On the other side though, quad core versus dual core. You're not going to have an S4
Sent from my SGH-T999
I doubt it will be any time soon. Multiwindow hasn't even been added besides the Synergy Rom.
And now that the S4 is out the devs will be focusing more on that because from what I've seen most devs from here got a S4.

And two other roms and there's almost a flashable zip ready. It's all possible, it's possible to have sense working on our phone too, but a lot work. It depends on how many awesome devs stick around, and if they're willing to take the time.
I'm not sure what's the big deal though. Most of the same gimmicky type features from the s3 are available in the from the play store, I'm guessing some from s4 will be too.
T-Mobile SGS III
I think that it is likely we will eventually get some ports of features from the Galaxy S4. Samsung also said that they would be bringing the new features of the S4 to the S3 and other "flagship" devices in the future, so it will just be a matter of time.
But personally, I do not care because I do not care for TouchWiz. CyanogenMod trumps anything Samsung could have made.
To be honest with you guys im working on a port of s4 right now and multiwindow for stock rom and my sprint ports and att ports and a few other roms for other devices so if you guys give it time ill have it up
