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.

I think even when jelly bean comes to the carrier's, they still have to put their junk in it. I don't think we will see a carrier official 4.1 anytime soon

maybe im just being optimistic but i think we will get something fairly soon

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.

Who cares when the official Touchwiz version will be out anyway? I'd be willing to bet that CM10 will have a bug free build pushed out within the next 30 days. They're damn close to it already.

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.

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.

Our SG3 will upgrade to Jelly Bean 4.1 in October

We have both european SG3 as well as US-ATT SG3 models. Our EU carrier has notified the 4.0.4 version will be updated to 4.1 next month, Oct 2012.
What is the published US-ATT schedule for update from 4.0.4 to 4.1 ?

You think that a&t
is going to tell you the date ahead of time?
Dream on. Plan on at least 3 to 4 months after euro release.

I second this. AT&T will be busy putting in their bloat**** into the rom...
And that is why I'm using the JB leak right now. It's very stable and I haven't had any problems so far.

I gave up the wait in September and switched from ICS to JB based off the TMO and Sprint leaks. Even with the bugs and random issues, I like it and don't really want to switch back. Now I have to impatiently wait for an official release so the rest of the bugs are worked out.

Too many of you have ADD....The phone has only been out since June/July ...Im riding the stock rom till JB comes out, which I will bet will be November. After that I can mess with custom roms, but for now, too many bugs and TW is not bad, on JB I figure it will be even better so will hang with it till I get bored. You guys that already jump around from rom to rom are the type to ditch the S3 when the Notes 2 is out or when the S4 is out in June/July next year anyways.
I will admit I am ready for JB though already.

I disagree, I like TW enough. But I feel I have more control over my device without it using another launcher. I doubt I will go to the Note 2, 4.8" is pretty big - but I went with this phone over the original Note because the 5.3" was a little awkward. I won't upgrade to the S4 next year either. I'm not going to pay full price. Just because I jump around from ROM to ROM doesn't necessarily translate to jumping around from one phone to the next.
As for JB, I'm glad to be running it. It's pretty smooth.

I understand this is a completely biased statement as I only have one perspective on the subject, but as an AOKP JB user since i got the GS3 (about a month) I have not run into any real issue with bugs, instability, or anything otherwise not expected from a stock ROM. Anyone who is 'waiting' on JB has already missed their ride, although there are hourly shuttles to catch you up with the rest of us....hop aboard.

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.

Im speaking from what ive learned from trying to port over the note 2 rom. It has a exynos processor and our US version does not. Im not sure what the note 1 has as far as it having the same processor as our s3. But I would love to try and port it once released and see if it would work.

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....

Yeah the others are probably right. Tmobile probably has decided that the 4.1.2 update isnt improtant enough to push through and since 4.2 with touchwiz will come out officially with the s4 they will just push that one instead of pushing both within a month or 2 apart. If you're asking in wonder of getting an official multi Window, then I'm guessing 4.2 will have it.

yeah it should somewhere around 2 months but I honestly think there will be a port from the s4 to the s3 so we'll get unofficially first from these developers. We already have some the the apps, sounds and such not.

If we end up with a Snapdragon 600 chip, it will make porting from S4 to S3 a hell of a lot easier... Swap out Qualcomm drivers for the S3 in place of the S4 ones and build the kernel source from the S4... Most of the main hardware is going to be similar. Camera and other external modules might be more difficult but as long as we get full S4 source from Samsung, we will be able to plug a good bit of S3 code and precompiled code in there.
I imagine we will see some interesting blends happen with HTC One and S4 source code.
Basically, even if we don't get an official 4.2 or 5 release, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to port due to similar hardware. Qualcomm makes it really easy with their proprietary binary code to build a kernel for another Snapdragon device than the source kernel/device. I wouldn't worry about it.

Screw that. I want a CDMA OnePlus device...Or hell I might just go TMo.
Screw Knox and the increasing DRM crap Samsung forces on consumers.

I love my note 2 but I think from now on ile just stick to nexus device. I bought this phone based on the screen size really. All I want is a stable kit Kat cm or cm based ROM which seems unlikely at this point.
I keep thinking is it too late to buy a nexus 5 or just wait for the n6.

It is a better longer term option for everyone...Especially given how Samsung has chosen to ignore their formerly flagship phone wrt updates. Further the much waited 4.4 update is probably the last if I had a=to bet.

Galaxy Gear only works, so far as I know, with unrooted stock (yuck) touchwiz ROMs on select devices of Samsung's arbitrary choice. You're better served both now and later with not spending the $200+USD on Samsung locked hardware.

I have seen users with smoothest claim gear works. Smoothest is a n3 stockish rooted ROM.

It is a better longer term option for everyone...Especially given how Samsung has chosen to ignore their formerly flagship phone wrt updates. Further the much waited 4.4 update is probably the last if I had a=to bet.

I don't mind running stock touchwiz. I actually recently unrooted and returned to stock 4.3 when I was planning on trying to sell my baby and I don't mind it one bit. I have never been a fan of aosp so staying stock isn't the end of the world for me

I didn't mind TW but I really got tired of waiting for Sammy to release a 4.4 update for us, and then having to wait on Sprint again... It's nice to be able to use KitKat on the Note 2
