I'm excited for updates on my N7....but pretty sure this phone will mostly run 4.1.2 as a daily driver til I get a new phone. Glitches are getting old for me personally .....and 4.1.2 is the last update we're officially getting.....and nothing later will ever be as good overall.
Just my opinion.....and again....mostly talking about stability.

I've been on my 4.3 ROM since I compiled it without one hiccup, no gallery problems, no fc's no rr's nothing yet its smooth as butter, honestly I think some of the 4.3 roms are smoother and snappier than official touchwiz...but just my two cents...

I respect your opinion and am glad its good for you......but no denying that many other people have plenty of issues. You're just lucky!
4.1.2 basically has no issues...none that can't be solved easily anyway. I am pretty lucky too....4.2.2 has never given me any major issues....but one random reboot or lockup and I'm back on 4.1.2. LOL. I've had zero issues with 4.1.2.....none that weren't solved as quick as they came anyway. 4.2.2 still has the odd issue, and for some, 4.3 has many. Even official 4.3 on my N7 has ticked me off enough that its going back to 4.2.2 when I get the chance. And 4.3 has changed nothing on my N7....for me anyway. For some it fixed lag from 4.2.2.....but I didn't lag on 4.2.2. So why deal with 4.3 when I see no improvement personally.
All personal preference of course. Just for me, nothing has been more solid on my t989 than 4.1.2.
I understand fully that the majority on xda will live with a glitch here or there to be on the latest and greatest........just for me....I'm all about stability now. Tired of glitches.
But no.....I'm not getting an iPhone.....I still like to play with my phone....and iPhone won't let ya! Lol

But yea.... it took until AFTER 4.2 came out to get 4.1 entirely rolled out..... and it's still only 4.1.1 IIRC. Probably won't see 4.2 for quite some time.
The note 2 will probably get it before us, or when ever the gs4 comes out someone will port it over Maybe some "leaked" roms like we did for 4.1.

The t989 devs have put out a literal tonne of jb roms already.
And if you are talking about xda devs helping get official jb out....well.....I will just say not gonna happen. Xda devs are not affiliated with google, samsung or the carriers in any way.
So...I could care less when official jb comes out....cause I've been running it already for months!

I just installed embryo 6.8 today. So far so good! Was using Whitehawkz Aokp 4.2.2 for about a month...its very good! I just wanted to try a TW rom again, since last time I did there were alot more issues on the t989. Seems most of its been ironed out now....even have signal bars now.
Anyway, those are the 2 I've used recently. There are a bunch of great current roms tho! Just read thru the different rom threads to see what folks are saying about them.
Remember....for what I do with my phone I have very few if any issues....but for what you do with your phone...that could be different. Just nandroid a safe good backup....and flash anything that appeals to you. If you don't like, then restore your nandroid.
Have fun!

some things can be ported (like themes), but some of the apps are hardware specific and probably wouldn't work on our phone.

T-Mobile has announced software updates for the many of the devices I've used over the years and rarely have they ever followed through. There are plenty of JB ROMs that are worth looking at that will blow any T-Mo OTA out of the water.
And the T989 doesn't have the hardware capacity to run what the S4 will be able to run.

I'm excited for a new possible theme. Feel like 4.x were all similar in appearance so far. And yeah, if anything Touchwiz doesn't really need to be updated. As long as AOSP hits 4.4 performance and features will follow through. Google needs to step up its game because iOS is bringing up a huge update and I think they know that and that this huge update begins with Kitsap.

4.4 ROMs?

With all the speculation of Android 4.4 Kit Kat releasing on October 14th, how long do you all think it'll take for someone to make a 4.4 ROM? I'm on 4.3 right now (CM 10.2 Linaro) and I love it...especially with this awesome kernel Neighborhoodhacker gave us. I'm just curious I guess.

I'd like to say the same, but I will have to wait. I think this phone will handle 4.4 just as well. I also would like to see if it makes it back to my OG Evo. I've heard KitKat can run on older devices due to low memory usage.
Shel's already working on 4.4, from what I've seen. There was a zip posted in the irc, but the flash failed We're definitely getting it though, and I'm absolutely excited to see how it will run. I hope the battery doesn't drain too quickly.

been using CM11 m2 and m3 snapshots with no problems
Interesting that I still don't see a listing on Cyanogenmod for the ls970 when AT&T has theirs listed. I can't believe they sold that many more lgog's than sprint.
I have two phones that I updated to Cyanogenmod CM11 snapshots that are working great so far.
Don't see any real problems with any of the apps or features, but I am not a beta tester. I am using these as my everyday phones and they work as expected.
Held my breath when I rooted/unlocked and installed the new rom's since they were mine and my wife's phones. I did this because I was so pissed LG dropped support for the phone upgrades. Such a good phone to be left at 4.1.2.
Anyone that has an LGOG's on sprint should not have a problem as long as they follow the instructions on rooting and unlocking. Can't say anything about insurance and warranty, though. I found it easier to buy a used phone when one of my other phones lost its screen. Insurance is a racket and is cheaper to just get a used on ebay.
Gave a new lease on life to my phone.
We've all heard rumors that LG is testing the KitKat update on the G and G2, and rumors that AT&T might be getting it on their models... but those are just rumors unfortunately. Nothing's happened so far.

To be honest. I have tried custom ROMs and I don't get the same experience as the stock. I know that sounds CrAzY! But I tried Omni, Sky, International, MIUI, AOKP and I am back on rooted stock with softmods. Can you suggest a better daily runner with S-Pen apps and that is stable?

Rember the Kitkat update is for all phones because of the minimum ram usage. So I think a lot of phones will get the update maybe even older ones like galaxy s2 lol but ultimately it is up to phone companies.

frankly, there is little chance of this phone getting 4.4 officially; its obvious that all phone mfgs want to try and force folks who want the latest and greatest OS, to buy whatever phone is new at the time, so they can further empty your pockets...
It will probably be on the Note 4 whenever that comes out next year..

Really impressed with HTC lately the one has gotten many updates plus I read that HTC already announced kit kat. Thinking of getting the "one" refurbished for zero down on T-Mobile. Plus the fact that google Released The GPE also helps...Samsung use to be good about updating but now they just want to cram features down our throat than update what we already have. Will probably stick with note tablets as all those features are really useful on a tablet especially for multi tasking

will not hold my breath
Doubtful
I highly doubt 4.4 will come to note 2. Plus, in one year practically every one with a note 2 will be ready for the two year upgrade.
