Thirsty for a Google Edition S 3.

Am I the only one that's thirsty for a Google Edition S 3?
Anybody think it would be actually possible to port a 4.2.2 (Google Edition S 4) ROM to our S3?
There both based on 4.2.2, just a thought! I flashed the Google Edition S 4 ROM and it said optimizing xx/88 apps so some things have to be compatible with our ROM!

The whole ROM didn't flash, like no changes.. I did a dirty flash and it said optimizing apps.
Not sure what apps it flashed.

Why though? Its a touchwiz ROM with touch wiz framework with aosp looks and apps, there are like 5 different ROMs for outlr phone like that already...

Because, I want a Google Edition ROM.
It's different from any other ROM, don't find anything that looks the same.

How about if we wanted a 4.3 Google Edition ROM? We don't have that, just saying.

4.3 Google Edition ROM got leaked, it even got ported to the T-Mobile GS 4.

What are the new features. And it won't happen for a port for us. But AOSP 4.3 will be pushed soon then

Why won't it happen? Porting 4.3 or 4.2.2 isn't possible?
I'm not sure about the new features, It's still Jelly Bean that's all I know.

So has anyone got 4.3 running on our device?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

It's not possible because the TW Kernel source is not available. Therefore, the devs cannot create a working kernel to support 4.2.2 TW on our phone (or 4.3 for that matter).

Isn't the "Google Edition" just a complied AOSP build for said device? You could just built it for the d2tmo from the sources.
EDIT: I was thinking of the Nexus series devices, I believe that they are straight AOSP.

Nope, Google Edition still has Touchwiz in it.
Google Edition isn't pure AOSP.

People already have ported 4.2.2 and 4.3 Google Edition which both have Touchwiz in them though.
Even though the Kernel Source isn't available, they've still been ported..

Do research before you actually think it's a bad idea.
It's Touchwiz with Touchwiz removed, only a small piece of TW is in it, rest is AOSP.

No, not on our phone! Just asking if it was possible, but I got a few answers and I heard "No".

Stable Kitkat?

This may help.

That is still a nightly... I did get excited when I saw milestone 1 but that was for jelly bean :/ I guess I'll just have to wait.. I really like slimkat and omnirom but just not stable enough for me and everyday use.. Camera force closes a lot as do other apps especially chrome

its from the att galaxy note 2 but im sure it works on the tmo version
I finally created an xda account

Omnirom 4.4.2 ...its a nightly build but very stable so far ... No real issues. Nothing force closes and camera is working and tethering works for me ...using it as a daily driver

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?

Question about porting Note 3 ROMs to note 2

Alright guys , hello there. Recently we saw the release of KitKat ROM for note 3 on Sammobile (I guess its for Poland only right now), so a question came into my mind. Can we port note 3 Roms to work on Note 2? That will be great because then we can get touchWhiz working on note 2 with android 4.4.2. Any ideas if this is possible ?

By note 3 roms, you mean custom or stock roms?

Thank you for the reply , appreciated . but I am trying to figure put if its possible to get 4.4.2 KitKat on Note 2 with touchwhiz. Which I though would be possible by porting Note 3 KitKat ROM to note 2 ( because I don't think Samsung will launch KitKat for note 2)

Flashing other device's rom(s) could damage Ur phone, you can wait a bit and many of the Touchwiz roms will upgrade to 4.4.2 very soon.

Relax bro,We are sure to recieve that KitKat taste wrapped by the Samsung UI,but in late April(if Sammy doesnt delay )
And ya the 3 custom roms posted are awesome,but whether they claim a good battery life and stability(daily use),
they are in comparision to othr custom roms..So,experience is that most ppl land up flashing StockRom at end..so better stick to Stock!& enjoy just a rooted phone,Titanium Backup,Rom Toolbox,Xposed,Greenify,LMTetc..

Samsung have already said the note 2 will get android version 5 so we will get kit kat plus another update after that. AFAIK to port the 4.4.2 twizz rom we would need a 4.4.2 stock kernel for our device so until the 4.4.2 Samsung source code is released it can't be ported. But I stand to be corrected by more experienced devs

Im using DN3 and its buttery smooth + amazing battery life, please note that I have 3G open 24/7, may not be the best battery life, but it really satisfied me (12 hours with 6 hours on screen and still have 15% charge)
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

Yes it's possible but:
1) It will need a kernel that can boot 4.4.2 TW on our device.
2) Tons of changes in framework.
Possibly no one would attempt that.
I'm certain to a lot extent that we will get Sammy Kitkat (official or leaked ) soon

Thanks for the reply guys,after reading your posts I will wait for the official Note 2 KitKat ROM.

How can I get CM11 on the 8.4 or any other custom rom

I guess since the device just came out there is not much to customize other than plain rooting, am I right or is there another place I can look for such stuff?

I know it's not a ROM but if ur a nexus fan u can try the google now launcher. I'm using that instead of the stock touchwiz at the moment and all the existing Samsung features still work.

The unofficial CM 11 linked above is actually quite stable. There's some missing features and a couple things that don't quite work (BT, camcorder) but it doesn't crash or run poorly.

That only just appeared and is not functional on our devices yet. As well porting from an older device to newer will take more work than just porting across variants. This won't work without a lot of effort.

Just wait a couple months for 5.0 official TW, we all waited a while for LP CM Based roms. Its ported sure but now since we have official support from CM , there'll be ROMs built for TRLTESPR AOSP soon. For now, KK TW.
