[Q] rom update - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

are all developers working on getting android 4.2 on the s3 i747?
just wondering
thanks

Take a look at the Android Original Development Forum for this device. Task650 has released an AOKP 4.2 based ROM with minor bugs and CM has released official 10.1 which is 4.2.1. These builds are only 5 days old and contain some minor bugs.

Yes, which is why there are overall less updates being rolled out. The 2 mentioned above are the only 2 at the moment that actually work. There's 2 more I believe, but they're there so that people can help with it's development. They're not fit for every day use. Task's 4.2 is pretty neat, but it's missing a lot of the old aokp features and has (as stated) some minor, but very noticeable bugs. Personally, I'm waiting for the 4.2 release of paranoidkangdroid. And if you want something very stable and nearly bug free. Wait another week or two, maybe three.

At the moment, there's no 4.2
The only 4.2 option is CM 10.1 right now. I doubt we will see 4.2 officially until some time after the S IV is released with 4.2
Try one of the cm based builds. I've been on the slimbean Rom for about a week and its absolutely fantastic. Great interface tweaks and great battery life. I haven't had any issues with it at all. Faux kernel is what I've been running with.

I think you'll only need to wait for another couple months. With the S4 being launched today, you'll likely see the code released as an update for the older devices.
The only real question is if the premium suite will be included and if so, will it include some of the new S4 features?

CM10.1 is not the only 4.2.2 ROM. You forgot AOKP, Slim Bean, LiquidSmooth...

Development

Is it me or has development for the galaxy s3 slowed down dramatically? Have most of the device switched to another device?
Some devs have moved onto the Note II, while others are still developing. I actually think development is still quite strong for our device. There's over 10 AOSP roms that's been updated since March 1st and there's probably over 10 TW roms updated since March. I helped a friend of mine mod his EVO LTE and I felt like his device was way more limited in ROM selection than ours was.
Not only that, the developers have pretty much everything running smoothly. What exactly needs to be updated? TW ROMs are updated, AOSP ROMs are pretty much all 4.2.2...
Once the S4 drops TW development will pick up, and when 5.0 gets released AOSP will pick up.
Right now, I'm running the latest version of Android with a slew of extra features and no bugs at all. Not much to develop.

LiquidSmooth stable release.
Well I see no reason to continue development like the past if most ROMs are pretty stable already sure when a new update comes every devs will push out updates with whatever is new in stock but other than that ROMs are pretty stable and its best to be left like that. That's just my opinion though.

development is still running strong (Have you seen the changes constantly being made to The People's Rom and Mother of all roms for instance?) I run either of those, and they are always adding new features to please the people who run them. So i don't see development slowed at all. As more things trickle down the pipeline via release or port, from another device, they will get added. Development is strong with this one. :silly:
It not really about quantity but quality. We have both. In feel we and our devices are very fortunate for the people who develop for our phones. There are some amazing ROMs to choose from, and even better developers and their teams doing it. Just to name my favorites depending if you like TW or AOSP

I completely agree, If it's working perfectly, not much really to update.. Little things here and there that folks want added... but overall.. not much you can change really.

Most roms are stable now. Most devs are waiting for the official 4.2 as well. Plus some have moved to the Note2 or getting there hands on the S4.

No 4.2.2 update

It looks like our phone, along with the other galaxy s2 lineup will not receive the official 4.2.2 update.

Old news. Would not be surprised if the international Exynos SII gets the update, but Qualcomm does not support 4.2 on our aged S3 chipset.

I choose to keep 4.2.2 until stable version of 4.3 is available. I hate trying new ones when so many things don't work. I feel for the developers who have to keep pace and do so much work. Very appreciated! :good:

I have been using 4.3 ROMs for a few days now with no issue. Is there anything in particular that doesn't work that I'm unaware of?

If they "didn't work" the devs would take them down or not put them up in the first place. Are there some bugs here and there? Yes. Read the threads for those.

Of course. I was just wondering if there were any kernel limitations or major bugs that were not ROM specific, or just in CM10.2.
I am not waiting for 4.2.2 tw. The only thing better about tw is the camera app, but it is a phone so it not like we are getting get pics anyway. Running carbon 4.3, very stable and smooth.

I'm curious how it is that we have to many custom 4.2.2 rom for the Hercules, yet the graphics driver is not supported?? Did Cyanogen and other rom developers somehow find a way to port the old Qualcomm drivers to other versions of android? Or are we just using the previous 4.1.2 drivers somehow. Either way the statement that the update is somehow incompatible with our device is purely garbage. Truth be told, it is simply a way to sell more devices, at least it is for those who are not willing to flash custom ROMs. For the rest of us there is 4.3 on a device that began as a gingerbread device, which is awesome. Now bring on the KitKat, because I'm sure our device can rock some 4.4 just as well.

Not a dev so these questions are over my head, but I am curious about the answers as well. And if they Key lime pie (kitkat) rumors are true about it being less spec hungry then it might just be the best running version of Android to grace our phones.

Cyanogenmod 4.4 General Discussion.

I have many questions about android 4.4 and I am sure many others do also. I have created this thread as an information database for AOSP 4.4. Also for any information regarding KitKat making its way to T-Mobile Note 3 and how development is coming along.
If its a Q&A shouldn't it be in the Q&A section? Rename it to Android 4.4 General Discussion, it sounds better

Regarding kit Kat making it way to gn3 it will probably be minimum 3 months but more than likely 6+ and probably the one of two point updates we see. I am enthused about 4.4 but not Samsung giving it to us right away. Eager to see Google wallet on our phones though.

Since the Nexus 5 is using the same chipset as the Note 3, getting some things going won't be as difficult. I'd give it 2 months before we see a "stable" enough build. I personally don't considering AOSP builds 100% stable as there seems to be bugs with them, IF it's running on a NON-Nexus device... Just a personal feeling on it though...
But those who do want AOSP, it won't take as long as some may think. Note 3 is the only device that's really really new still, G2's been out a little bit, if I'm not mistaken. But like I said, Nexus 5 uses S 800, like the Note 3. It'll come sooner than some may think....

Agree, beanstalk is a very verrrrryy good rom. Stable and great battery life. While you're at it check out the other one will3 js working on now called temasek or something like that.
Now that I think of it my two favorite roms are from the att forum. Beanstalk for aosp, and sky air with the note 3 features for touchwiz
sent from a note taker
My apologies for bumping an old thread. So I've been using beanstalkrom for the past week or so and I love it. One big issue for me is that the camera sometimes does not work. I know that it's a "known issue" and it bugs me alot. Temasek Rom is suppose to replace beanstalk and from what I've read, you can use the G2 camera but still has minor issues ( can't upload videos to instagram/vine). Now for the million dollar question, is there a 100% stable version of kikat for the note 2? or will i have to wait until March when Samsung releases it?
