If I get my att phone unlocked, does it then receive the updates directly from Samsung or does it still have to go through the ATT servers?
Bump once.
Unlocking merely allows you to use different sims/providers. Your phone still calls out to AT&T to get updates if you're on an AT&T ROM.

ok. i see. i was just curious. i guess the only other option would be a ROM. I really love the touchwiz camera options, which is why I wanted to stick with the officials, but I'll consider other stuff I guess.
Thanks!

You can use leaks that have been ported and that will be touchwizzed up GS3, but I am always hesitant to flash ported roms. I would go CM10 or Task AOKP if it was me. Well it is me and that is what I switch between. If you want touchwiz though they just released TMo update to JB today so that will find it's way over here I'm sure (if it isn't already here).\
EDIT: DO NOT flash a rom that isn't made for the phone or ported over.

I am interested in the Note II. I currently have a 4S and with the lack of a jailbreak the i5 is not appealing to me... I tried before with the skyrocket but it was such a bad phone that I really hated it and went back to the 4S. I find this phone extremely capable... 4.2 bring certain updates that might mimic lockinfo for iPhone and that is one huge important piece on why I have stayed on the jailbroken 4S.
Any idea on when this update is scheduled to hit? I only recently saw that the 4.1.2 was leaked but it appears is NOT for the 7105.
This phone has a lack of custom Roms as most of them (all) are for the non LTE version.
Really like the DNA, but not available on AT&T and I want an LTE phone.
Thanks
Thread Moved
Dont post questions in the dev section!
-No way to know when 4.2 is going to come for Note II. In fact, 4.1.2 official hasn't been out yet, only the leaked unofficial version.
-Some may agree and some may disagree with me, but you really don't need custom roms for this phone. The stock experience is excellent out of the box.
-The DNA does have LTE, but on Verizon.

True... you don't need custom rom with the plethora of stuff for it... just root it and be done... hence why I wanted the 4.2 version for the lockscreen info.
Until Google fix the SERIOUS problems in 4.2, I don't -want- it!

Some people truly have no sense of humour...
Basically, I want the phone to be as stock as possible, but with multiwindow. I know t-mobile will be releasing the update tomorrow, but I have a feeling it will be a limited version, meaning that you wont be able to add whatever apps you want to it...only a pre-selected number of apps will be in the multi-window list.
I just don't want to lose any of the functionality that samsung has built in with the s-pen features and stuff like that, but want multi-window to be adjustable so that i could add whatever app i want to it.
does this exist?
When you say T-Mobile, do you mean T-Mobile USA or the international? I have T-Mobile also ( I live in the USA). I think you should use the DarthStalker ROM, as it is the closest that I have tested with stock (I like the S3 stock) and it is hardly changed. I'm almost certain the developer will update the new features you are looking for in that ROM soon (he seems dedicated). In the mean time, I would test out the T-Mobile update if I were you.

There is no guarantee that the multiwindow will not be limited. Considering its T-Mobile they will probably limit it just to screw you over. Consider rooting and using Roms, you can always unroot if you decide you don't like root (trust me, once you root and find a Rom you like, you won't go back to stock model).

You know AT&T will be the last and Verizon will be first, hopefully AT&T will decide to release the update to the S3.
For god sake, please remove the 4.3 Knox bootloader in the KitKat update.
No more official updates for S3, Android 4.3 was the last update.

That's from Samsung Poland regarding the international i9300 version.
Pretty sure the international i9300 will get the 4.4.2 update elsewhere in Europe.
And unless Samsung USA backtracks on its commitment to bring Android 4.4.2 to the North American SGS3, I'm confident we'll see it.

The problem that I have is that the official announcement says "select carriers" leaving me to believe that there is a possibility it could never happen with AT&T. Of course since AT&T is so large I think it will go through to avoid a massive swarm of complaints. It really comes down to how quickly they will push the release.

Pretty sure Sprint releases the first update, followed by T-Mobile...then AT&T and finally Verizon. It's been that way for all devices. Ex.: the 4.3 update.
WOW, ANOTHER TOY TO PLAY WITH. OH MY GOD. WHEN DO WE GET IT? WHEN DO WE GET IT? HURRY UP AT&T. I CANNOT WAIT. OH MY GOD! WHEN DO WE GET IT? WHEN DO WE GET IT?
Look, if we ever get this update, can at least some of you hold off for a little bit and see what the update does to some of the other phones first (does it lock the bootloader, does it make battery life worse, what apps might have issues, is there a way to go back in case something goes wrong) and not make the same mistake that so many of us make with these phones by rushing to these toys, oops, updates impatiently the very first day that they come out. I call these updates toys because with the exception of the phones that have major issues, all these updates are around here is just something new to play with.
BUT WHAT IF I WANT TO, SHORTYDOGGG?
Forget it. I see that I won't get through to everybody because we are all different. Carry on everyone.

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if there have been any developer who looked into turning international firmware into roms for tmobile...or if its even possible at this point. I'm still not fully used to lg firmwares as far as the kinkx are concern, but is it even doable?
Reason i ask is because updates for tmobiel been non existing

I haven't found a kitchen that works with the g3 but if you use the updater script from the lonely ROM or zones ROM it should work worst case you would need to add or remove a few things.

As long as you use the d851 kernel any g3 firmware you turn into a rom should work until L comes out.
Hey Guys,
I'm moving from an HTC M7 on At&t to the Note 4 on Sprint.
I have been with At&t for 10 years and modding/flashing ROMs for about 4 years. For the last few phones I had, since they were GSM phones, ROMs were fairly universal and could be used cross-carrier to some extent.
Since Sprint is CDMA, is this different? Will a universal ROM work or does it have to be Sprint specific?
Sorry if this question is covered elsewhere. I was just curious.
Thanks,
Ryan

If you're going to a Note 4, there probably won't be any issue. Samsung phones on Sprint almost always have unlocked bootloaders, and the Note 4 is no exception. So because of that, there should be ROMs available for it. Maybe not right away as the phone is brand new, but eventually you'll get there.

So even if you decide you dont like sprint, you can take your phone with you to any carrier you want, doing this with the note 4 ,YMMV!

If I understand your question correctly, no the ROMs for the sprint will be specific to Sprint. You won't be able to use ROM designed for Verizon (CDMA) or AT&T(GSM). Doing so, you run a risk of bricking your phone. It has something to do with kernels I believe.
With that said, most ROMs do get tweaked to be used on Sprint the variant.

Thanks! That's pretty much what I needed. With my M7, there were some Roms that were universal for all GSM varieties, and I wasn't sure how that would work with Sprint.
Since this is my first Samsung phone, I'm curious what developers will come up with as far as touch wiz goes. Would love to see a more vanilla ROM with optional touch wiz features such as multi window and use of the pen.

They come up with all kinds of stuff. You may want to look in to installing Xpose framework and add modules. It may just give the extra pizzazz you're wanting to add.
Obviously, you're going to wait a bit before any ASOP are released. TouchWiz, I would guess, won't be as long as a wait. I would expect the first would be more themed with build in hacks such as Hotspot and 4-option power menu.
