I have the S3, and S4's 441 ppi Screen is tempting me, but won't our GS3, have those features through a ROM? So should I upgrade or not?
Probably not. Unless you want Touchwiz running on the latest and greatest android build the GS4 is probably not the best way to go if you already have a GS3. Not to mention all those new features will be gone the minute you flash an aosp ROM. So YES if you want Toichwiz on the latest android version (4.2.2) but NO if you're an aosp guy or if you can handle waiting for the new features to be released on the GS3.

If in fact our tmobile s3 do not have an LTE radio then I myself might switch. I currently have the note 2 as well and I'm not 100% happy with either phones.

hmm feel like not worth to upgrade it
too few improvement
S4 is too much like the note 2.
Only plus for me is the quad core.
Transmitted from my SGH-T999.
I'll be upgrading to an S4, without replacing my existing S3 phone.
Outside the 1080P display, the TV remote and some biometric sensors, I'll have the same phone!
Samsung has already been quoted as releasing the software apps that do not require specific S4 hardware for the S3 and Note II. Look for it later this year.
Well if you're getting it for development don't count on many also Roms as cm team have already mentioned that they are not supporting the gs4. :/

Any thoughts? Google might unveil 4.3 on the I/O this May instead of KLP 5.0. I could be wrong though. Honestly I could care less if it's KLP or 4.3 I'm just hoping that Google fixes what they broke on 4.2.
Anyone's guess here. Maybe a quick update to 4.3 for minor issues, and jump to 5.0 later in the summer. I've seen reports of server logs with Android 5.0.1 on a Google X device, and now this report of 4.3. I think JBQ and his team aren't sleeping much these days.

I'm guessing 4.3 this coming May and later this year it will be the next Nexus + KLP. Anyhow in less than 30 days we'll know
I hope 4.3 will be just an update. An update like bug fixing shouldn't need a special event. Then a Motorola Google phone or Nexus (or maybe it's same) for a Google I/O. KLP should also be there with the new devices.

I honestly think that they are gonna give us support for 4.3 but kill us off on KLP.
But we will still have our great devs! :thumbup:

Personally i would like to have the 4.2 memory errors and leaks fixed,4.2.2 was good but i removed my custom roms and i have tried many,they all had the same errors,lags etc.Now i am on stock 4.1.2 rooted with busybox installed and the louder jelly bean nexus add on for sound.
4.3 ?Honestly i expect bug fixes for Samsung Galaxy nexus.
I'm always anxious for new builds. Any word of Babel being implemented into 4.3?

hope they won't change coding again. It would take "ages" for custom roms to settle down again
I was hoping that 5.0 would be released at I/O and come to my galaxy nexus just to tide me over until I upgrade from my galaxy nexus. 4.3 will probably be a minor update, sort of like 4.2 was and will probably break more things than fix things on my galaxy nexus.

My galaxy nexus worked perfectly on 4.1.2, battery life was decent as well, but 4.2.2 ruined my nexus, so many bugs, lag and battery suffered as well. The galaxy nexus has its fair share of issues as well and after owning it for 16 months, it is beginning to wear on me. I still love it but its becoming more of a love-hate relationship.

Hmmm...I've been delighted with 4.2.2 on my GNex. Never run smoother or been more stable than now. Other than a minor issue with Bluetooth handoff between vehicles and house phone, it's good.

Mine runs beautifully. Idk if it is actually something since I haven't been back to 4.1 since the ota but it seemed smoother. 4.2 is smooth too but 4.1 just seemed... Different... I like 4.2 too though. I love my nexus and won't upgrade until probably late 2014, no reason to...

That's interesting, 4.2.2 just feels like a rushed release to me, lock screen widgets lag and don't seem very thought out and the Bluetooth issues are annoying as well. Even with fresh stock images flashed, there is still a bit of sluggishness.

in fact it's not suprise that our GN not receiving 4.4...but still feel a little bit disappointed when knowing that
My two cents...I would be very surprised if we don't get 4.4 officially. It is technically a minor version bump.

...Not as minor as 4.2 -> 4.3. UI drastically changed (not just the launcher) and they decided to make a universally available Launcher called Google Experience, so you see Google is determined to make KitKat a large step forward.
But yeah, based on this point (universal, unified experience) and Google's saying of "making the best experience for everyone", I can say that we're going to get KitKat in one way or another (I don't personally care if Google decides no official release, AOSP is always there). Plus, who said we need 3.4 or even 3.8 kernels to run it (any RELIABLE sources)? Many older devices run JB 4.1 and even 4.2 nicely with 2.6.xx kernels. Many 3.4, 3.8 and even 3.1x features are being backported too.

I'm surprised that you're this delusional, personally I'm planning to rollback to 4.1, the recent versions of android is just too choppy for my liking, ram management is horrible too.

Well, I have had nothing but a well-running Nexus on 4.3 for the last little while, so it really sucks to hear you're having problems. I appreciate a discussion here, but starting off a reply by calling someone "delusional" seems a bit rude and harsh, no?

Look i don't know about Linux Kernel, etc..
But i just saw that the 3.8 is officially discontinued.
3.4 is continued until October 2014.
So i think the next Kernel version for Android will be the 3.10 (long term: until September 2015) not 3.8.
By the way....a Nexus 5 with 3.10 kernel would be pretty nice. But it seem it will be 3.4.
Source
I remember when 3.0 was released (after the 2.6.39), Linus Torvalds said exactly this:
"So what are the big changes? NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Sure, we have the usual two thirds driver
changes, and a lot of random fixes, but the point is that 3.0 is
*just* about renumbering, we are very much *not* doing a KDE-4 or a
Gnome-3 here. No breakage, no special scary new features, nothing at
all like that. We've been doing time-based releases for many years
now, this is in no way about features. If you want an excuse for the
renumbering, you really should look at the time-based one ("20 years")
instead."
I post that, only to say that sometimes numbers mean nothing..3.4 is a stable kernel, there isn't a big difference that you can see in the daily use with 3.10..really
Lets pray, for kitkat on our phone..!!!

I thought the new nexus an kitkat would have been launched by now, everything has gone quiet now an the hype has gone, iOS7 is keeping me amused for now, the kitkat screenshots look like google got a lot of their inspiration from apple an iOS7, just hope the nexus 5 is as good if not better than iPhone 5s.

They said that 4.4 will work on devices with 512mb of ram. And they said it will be available for older devices.

wow! this looks promising! downloading now.. thanks
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?
So I'm looking for a ROM with as little extra features and modifications as possible, since my girlfriend like the way my phone and tablet are set up* and has asked me to try and replicate it as close as possible on her phone.
What would be the nearest to this on the Optimus G?

Cyanogenmod Definetly. Or Vanir AOSP.
Your first stop should be cyanogemod. But since, your girlfriend wants to set it up closest to tablet revisions, you should go for Paranoid Android. I havent seen official PA downloads for Optimus G but there are 4.2/4.4 based projects floating in dev
PA seems to have begun over from scratch, so this might be a good choice. Thanks!
