was just wondering why the heck does the galaxy s2 have a version of the new 4.1.2 update with all the new goodies including the new note 2 multi tasking option when the us variants gs3's still havent seen anything? i can understand waiting around for a legit 4.1.2 firmware to take some time, but really? the galaxy s2? before the 3?

In assuming when 4.1.1 came, Samsung said that the s3 had to get it first and as they were working on it, 4.1.2 released and they just went with that for the s2 and others

but the first to get it was the international gs3, i figured the us variants were next in line, not the s2, this boggles my mind im shocked noone was able to port it to the our phones yet, really lost on this topic
Not soon ... they need to sell Note 2 too.
They will definitely push it back.

i mean hey i understand that the official firmware being held back and all but the coding for the international galaxy s3 and galaxy s2 before us variants was made possible?, ok the international version, but now the s2? before our 3?...listen i get it, im pretty much a noob here on dev but not anywhere else im involved in, trust me, which isnt really much phones but i respect and think everyone on here are geniuses and are some of the best contributors to the android community ..just, really? lol the s2? now i had the s2, loved it to death, but have been on the s3 tmoble for a minute and am shocked the the multi tasking and other great features arent made possible..just find it to be strange is all.
yea i figured no one had any idea..thanks anyway

The SGSIII does have better specs than the Gnex, but personally I couldn't give up Google Now. You shouldn't have a problem finding custom builds of JB for the SGSIII. Some/many may be in beta stage and will get more stable after a while, so you could wait and not have to update as frequently or you could take the plunge and do the work. Afaik Samsung has not yet said anything official about the SIII getting JB but if I were a betting man I would bet it will eventually see it.
Edit: Wait it's important to mention that the VZW variant has a locked bootloader, so no custom firmware. Yet. Not sure what carrier you are on.
hold your GN for 3 4 months if you want JB. Than change to S3.
Simple!
I too was planing to change to GS3 but also found that almost similar thing i get with my SGN and added is super JB so decided to wait for 2 months and see what is gonna be better GS3 or Iphone 5 which is yet to come in abt 3 months i wud choose one of it
U can wait as per me but u r the boss
Why "upgrade" from a dual core device to another dual core? Wait for a good quad device to be on your carrier then upgrade

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to buy one (off contract...sigh) but want to make sure I know what I'm getting.
There seems to be conflicting information in multitasking on the US Note 2's.
I know when it was released, there was no multitask, but that a recent software update enabled such "premium" features.
However in reading some threads on this forum, it seems that some people are using custom roms because they can't multitask?
Has AT&T phones not officially have this update yet?
Thanks for any info!
MultiWindow? Yes, its available on stock.
G●Note~2 {Jedi X5}
No it is not available on stock AT&T yet. Several of the devs have ported the International rom which gives you the multi window capability.

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

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.

I think so i mean the 4.3 leaked editions have compatible mods for the air command and i seriously hope that they have integrated those in the upcoming update and moreover the note 2 4.3 update is supposed to be compatible with the galaxy gear :laugh: so lets hope for the best :good:

Why do u say that?? I mean the Note 2 is supposed to be compatible with the galaxy gear right ? and if that's the case then the Note 3 Features should be included logically.
It is Bluetooth LE in 4.3 Android that is needed with galaxy gear manager that is needed to run gear... doesn't need other note 3 features
So Samsung will not release note 3 features to note 2..it makes business sense for them
Mj5 will be released as official.. so no note 3 apps on official release..
Lucky for us we have electron team to port those features

Samsung has confirmed that the S3 will get kitkat. Now its just a matter of waiting for the update to be finished, sent to T-Mobile to be approved, and then pushed out.
So apparently I cant post links yet but if you go to the android and me website, they have an article with a link to the press statement made by Samsung.
Based on the devices on the list, we will probably have to wait a while, at least a month or two is my guess, just considering how new each device is.
Sidenote: if you have a Nexus 5, why do you care about the S3???
Not a rumor, its been confirmed that all U.S S3 variants will be 4.4.2 It makes a lot of sense for samsung to still update firmware on the still pretty popular and 2 year old device like ours. The only thing that could knock my S3 off its pedestal could be the S5, so I'm waiting for Feb 24th to come and see if it seduces me enough to jump on it
They started rolling out kit kat yssterday. I dontvknow how long for the s3 to get it. But its about time we get it.
Updated to reflect the current release information!
What's the over/under on the likelihood that Knox has undergone a major revamp to try and make it harder to crack in the next release?
I really like my SGS3, but after all of the crap Samsung has pulled against the modding community, I think this will be my last Samsung device.

I appreciate that show of support against samsung. I approve of this message.
I'm just curious why anybody cares about touch wiz kitkat? I've used a few different kitkat roms now including cm11 and they all work pretty well. A few have some quirks but overall they've been easily reliable enough to use everyday. Other than wifi calling what else do you like about TW versus anything else?

I agree with your sentiment. WIFI calling is the only reason I use TW and now, with multiboot, I can have a TW ROM as a secondary ROM and run CM11/AOKP KK as my daily driver.
I'm sure there's a lot of other folks who prefer TW to AOSP - different strokes for different folks.
I've never really liked TW but I'm curious to see how they integrate TW S voice with kit kat Google now.

Its not that TW is bad by all means...rather its KNOX and the excessive bloat it comes with. There are much worse things than Touchwiz trust me.

Since I posted my other response I've ended up going back to TW 4.3. I didn't know this until I tried it but aosp doesn't have tv out like TW does, at least not using the hd I cable I already have. I miss some of the aosp features but I really don't notice any difference between kitkat and jellybean.
kitkat is officially rolling out for the S4. So its the Note 3 and S4 already with updates. Could the S3 be next or would they go for the Note 2 first and leave us last?
