Now that Samsung has released the Google Play edition of the S4, does that mean that it is easier to find Qualcomm and Samsung drivers that would run on the pure Android OS instead of being tied to the Samsung framework? Does that help the S3 or am I just wishing?
thanks

Hey guys,
I dont know much about ROM compiling.
I was just wondering what you would need to compile android lollipop 5.0 for our tabs? As in device specific things.
Is there anything that isnt available that is needed to compile pure android 5.0 from source?
Thanks

I would like to use a Galaxy Tab / Note Pro 12.2 as well, running pure AOSP or at least a "Google Play" edition.
Does anyone know how to extract the binary blobs (hardware drivers) from the stock Samsung image for this device?
That would be a good start for building up an aosp rom.
Good evening my friends so I am from Greece and I have the galaxy s3 gt i9300 with custom rom named Eclipse version 9 and i want samsung theme store in that phone any idea? pls answer me xD
Hi, you can't get theme store on s3.Because that application needs at least 5.0 lollipop samsung rom and s3 has stucked forever at 4.4.4 sammy roms.

Can you not get the Amcha rom for the i9300? I run it on my i9305 and it allows some different theme choices.
But he means samsung theme store which works only in android 5.0 and over.Not 4.4.4 theme chooser.
Is Samsung SIII(i9300) compatible with any version of Paranoid Android?

IF ANY ONE KNOW A GOOD UPDATED PORT FOR MY DEVICE THEN COMMENT UNDER PLEASE
There have been many cases of newer versions of Android being ported from a device that can run it. For example, Android 8 has been ported to the Galaxy S6 from the A8, and Android 6 has been ported to the Galaxy Note 3 from the Note 7. In both of these examples, the ROMs have been a port of the Samsung firmware with all the UI but modified to work on the phone.
However, on the Galaxy S5, the only port ROMs I've seen are Marshmallow, even S8-based TouchWiz ROMs are still based on Marshmallow. Marshmallow is still a relatively new version, but there will come a time where eventually support will die out just like KitKat and soon Lollipop.
The question I am asking is whether it is possible to port a Samsung firmware of a newer Android version to the Galaxy S5. If so, what steps would need to be taken? If not, why?
