+1 on international only. Considering the article is also talking about the international Note 2 since it is going to have the Exynos chip.

Still good news. Sooner that is done the closer we will be to getting it here.

I'm going to guess ATT will launch JB in late September. Hopefully the process will flow faster since recently taking heat,and pointing the finger at Google for being slow to push updates.

I remember it took AT&T months to put out the gingerbread update for my infuse. The last leak from samsung was I believe 3 or 4 months before official rom came out and it was the exact same rom.

If you are on xda the leak is when the rom is released, who cares about official at&t release.
I had froyo and gingerbread on my captivate months before at&t got their act together.

I don't think AT&T would release that as they don't want to mess with iPhone 5 roll out and steal that thunder. However the smart thing is for Samsung to push the crap out of this and put pressure on all carriers to release JB before iPhone 5 comes out.

my pessimistic prognosis
is it will be next year for AT&T SGS3 JB. Based on Cappy expreience. Then KrispyCream in 2014.

With an official or leaked release of 4.1 of s3, will that improve the "original dev" section with faster development since the developers will have access to drivers they didn't before?

Then what's enabling the maintainers of jb ROMs that are already going strong? Seems if Cm10 is already so far along, the others could be as well, capacity willing.

I think the carriers will defintiely slow the process down. However, I really don't think it will take as long as it did going from GB to ICS for SGS2 variants. If you recall, some SGS2 Variants in US and Canada just got their ICS around the same time SGS3 was released (LOL). But the upgrade from ICS to Jellybean is fairly small and I know that Google and Samsung (as well as other manufacturers) are trying to make updates a ltitle more timely than they have been in the past. Whether or not this will hold true is yet to be seen. However, seeing that there is already a leak for i9300 so soon shows me that Samsung is making more of an effort. I don't recall the ICS leaks for my i9100 coming out this soon

I'd be surprised if AT&T even releases JB for the Galaxy S3. Doing that would only benefit the customer, and it is strictly against AT&T's policy to do anything that might benefit the end user.
I'd say there is a 90% chance we will all be stuck with ICS unless we root and flash our own JB custom ROM's. AT&T doesn't care if you use ICS. Hell, 98% of people with the Galaxy S3 in the United States don't even know what ICS and Jellybean are, and they couldn't care less as long as the phone functions.

You get an A+ for positivity, but unfortunately, you're giving the carriers too much credit, especially AT&T. In the end, Samsung pushing out updates in a timely manner is as useful as rubber lips on a woodpecker because the frigging carriers are guaranteed to slow sh*t down so they can bloat the software up to their liking.

Official jelly bean for s3?

This was just posted on Android police. The YouTube vid is in Spanish but the guy said the rom is rumored to be released later this month or early Sept. Looks legit but we will see.

That's for the I9300, we have an entirely different chipset and carrier bloat that will take time to develop.

on the plus side of it the rom just needs to be compatible with our phones SoC instead creating from the ground up, that and ass bloatware of course. Maybe sooner then later.

It's already silky smooth broham, I would prefer to have the samsung version because of the awesome stuff that comes stock.

Because cyan might have a great build but with JB 100% done he won't have to use hacked features just the kernel will be hacked.

Agree. I haven't even flashed a rom on here cuz well I haven't desired for one since stock isn't that bad at all
Sent from my SGH-T999

I imagine alot of ppl will be underwhelmed when we do get JB. There's not going to be much visually different, and project butter pushing things to 60fps throughout the ui will help, but this is already a pretty smooth phone. I was seeing some lag issues, but I reflashed my current rom & everything is back to silky smooth. Don't get me wrong, JB is a welcome addition to an already amazing device, but it's not going to be like the jump from gingerbread to ics, so I can be patient. Also, as a couple others have stated, I'm loving TW over AOSP now. I never thought I'd say it, but TW is full of incredible additions to Android that I don't want to lose. I love the beauty of stock Android, but it's a fair trade for all of the functionality.

4.2.1 Leak for the i9300

The Galaxy S7 will be out by the time 4.2.1 gets to us.

The problem with the 4.1.2 update has multiwindow. We have a different processor in US phones which is making it difficult to get multiwindow to work properly. Im not saying its impossible but I feel like that is the hold up with US carriers. And it may even be they end up releasing 4.1.2 without multiwindow because of it.....

Meh. I'm really thinking about possibly trying to eBay my carrier unlocked GS3 when the GS4 comes around. I know it's apparently being shown on the 14th... but who knows when it'll actually be available after that.

ps I'm running galaxymod 14.1 without issue so just because you haven't been able to get multiwindow working in no way means it is not possible.

Synergy ROM in the development section has Multiwindow. I tried it yesterday and it worked great...although a few other issues made me switch back. I don't think the processor is the issue.

Definitely not the power of our phones the grand had all around less specs and it's coming with multi window.

Synergy is a Verizon or Sprint base one I cant remember which. And im not saying its impossible for us to have multiwindow what im saying is it will need to be totally reworked to run on our phone as we have a dual core processor and the note 2 has quad core.
And I believe the different processor or maybe the kernel has a lot to do with why you haven't seen a ATT based note 2 port. Ive been working on one for quite sometime now and can only get it to partially work. So its not impossible but its not as easy as you may think and thats why I think its taking US carriers longer....

Android 4.3 instead of 4.2.2

It seems Samsung may have decided to skip 4.2.2 entirely according to the article I linked below.The S4 will still get the update although you won't see it until mid August. On other news a new Note II has been spotted in Antutu sporting a Snapdragon 600, hopefully available to the US with Tri-band support.......

I picked up N4 and it certainly isn't a big jump to 4.3 from what you have in 4.2.2
Its just a lot harder to follow through all the threads something because it has a much bigger base of users, plus it's hard to know what you can and can't flash compared to our phone.

4.3 runs smoother in terms of scrolling smoothness and lag...and at least for AOSP ROMs the battery life is much better.
There are the other little feature blings. But as Android system upgrades go it is kind of minor.

I'd be very surprised if ATT released 4.3 before the i9300 got it... Usually there is about a 6 month or more difference between the i9300 and the US s3's in terms of updates.

If at all. I have a feeling ATT is done providing updates for this phone. And if they do throw one more at us, it wont be 4.3 cuz they just don't keep them updated that close to what the actual current version is. Prolly 4.2 will be the last if any at all. I hope I'm wrong, but their track record does speak for itself.

The first article is supposedly an insider tip from a Deutsche Telekom employee: "The Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 have been rumored to skip the Android 4.2.2 and get Google’s latest Android update instead, although Samsung is yet to confirm it. An Australian carrier (Telstra), answering to questions about the Galaxy Note 2 updates, has also hinted that the device will go straight to Android 4.3"
The second article also mentions the same DT employee and is talking about the i9300 for DT networks.
Your 1st comment said Samsung confirmed it and they have not.
Not trying to **** in anyone's Cheerio's but like most things involving US carriers, I'll believe it when I see it...

This, we know. What I'm trying to explain to everyone in another thread is that support for the US variants died after the release of 4.1.2
We should consider ourselves lucky if we get 4.3 (officially) at any point.
Samsung doesn't need to confirm anything that the US carriers choose to do with the 4.2/4.3 source code (if they ever do get it). I'm still convinced that carriers are only interested in selling new flagship devices.

I agree with your last sentence - it's almost criminal the way US carriers act towards this.

It wuold be awesome if AT&T release the update promptly, but, I think it's gonna have to wait.
I mean, we were the last ones to get the premium suite :C

^^^This is the joke of the day.
I'm now getting bored of the Premium Suite as I thought that I would have wanted all those fancy features when they first release.
Now, I'm trying to find a stock AOSP 4.3 ROM to flash. My only reason for staying with this is the fact that I need to use Samsung KIES as I'm a MAC user and have no other way of using MTP to transfer files to my device.
