But wouldn't we be able to port the 4.2.2 international GNote2 ROM when it comes out? And, as a plus, it will be exactly the same as the AT&T version minus the bloat?

I really dont think Samsung will release 4.2.x for the Note 2. I think it will stay 4.1.2 until the Note 3 comes out. Then, the Note 2 MAY get whatever the Note 3 is running.

Knowing Samsung, they WILL release the update. But knowing AT&T, they probably won't "approve" it for a WHILE. The bloody multiwindow update took what? 2-3 months?

Do you guys think that the 4.2.2 Touchwiz will have group messaging? I love everything about touchwiz but if it doesn't have group messaging I can't live without it, that's why I'm on rootbox now. I know I could install a third party app but honestly they all suck compared to cm10.1 mms

I'm rooted, but I've got no reason to flash anything. I didn't even really want the Multiwindow update - I never use it except to show off to iPhone users: " HEY LOOK WHAT MY PHONE CAN DO".

Hey guys, I've used a couple of roms and am a fan of Euroskank, CM10 and AOKP, but I realize they still have no touchwiz. I was wondering with the official JB release being out for the international s3 and it seems to feature touchwiz as well were there no roms that featured the same(Jellybean and touchwiz)? Let me know guys thanks.

"Euroskank, CM10 and AOKP" are all AOSP ROMs, therefore they don't contain Touchwiz. If you want Touchwiz JB ROM, then you'll have to wait for that from Samsung. BTW, official JB ROM for our phones are not out yet.
Correct, AOSP and AOKP are ROMs based off the Android Open Source Project. HTC and Samsung basically load their own launcher or UI over it. There are usually a few ROMs that come with TW but the devas might be waiting for the official source

Sept for the lack of touchwiz things like smart alert, smart stay, direct call, tilt to zoom, pan to move/browse, shake to update, palm pause, etc. That is the reason that I like touchwiz. It's slightly more functional than vanil. You can put a launcher on touchwiz and look like AOS/KP with the functionality, you lose that functionality though if you go to AOSP and try to look like touchwiz
Too bad the ROMS are full of bugs and do not work right most of the time. I'll wait for a stable update from Samsung.

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?

Bgr is reporting the samething.

I think we will probably get those new features after the S4 is out, but I think it will also be packaged as JB 4.2, so I feel we will have both the new features and currently released Android OS, so it will get Panorama shot, lockscreen widgets, etc. If we do get JB 4.2, that will be 2 major OS updates since official release (ICS 4.0 > JB 4.1 > JB 4.2.
I also hope that the Note 1 (I have the international version running on Straight Talk's AT&T and also on T-Mobile's $30/month plan) gets some of the new S4 enhancements and maybe JB 4.2 as well, but that would be a stretch.

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.

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.

Hey all,
It's been awhile since I've posted here, mostly since I haven't been ROM swapping as much on my Note 2, since I like Touchwiz enough just to use Apex Launcher instead of a full AOSP/AOKP ROM. That being said, with Samsung "Saying" 4.3 updates for Note 2 around Nov/Dec time-frame, how soon do we expect our amazing developers here on XDA to get their hands on the Samsung pre-release source for us to load and test?
I plan on upgrading to the Note 3, but was just checking if anyone has a line on beta builds.
So the European version of 4.3 had been leaked on the S4 and Note 2. Not so patiently waiting for a sprint version.

Sprint is better than most carriers regarding updates. Not that that means much, but no one else is any more reliable or better when it comes to updates.
We'll see it when it's ready and stable. And as MDM is being pushed a lot for Samsung (Airwatch for example) expect a big change in security with 4.3. I'm expecting close to N3 security.
