hi,
questions belong in q&a.
okay so i guess from what i've read from elsewhere the rock solid answer is maybe.
i've been running my own cm12 on the note 10.1 and lollipop in general seems to run well.
if samsung does push pop [see what i did there ?] :silly:
i'm thinking it'll still look like touchwiz. Which is alright with me. Touchwiz is a tight solid experience.
My only problem with it has to do with some choices samsung made regarding resolution.
m
afterthought- what would be awesome is a slim rom for the tab, 10.1 and 7.0

As with all new versions of Android, it is up to the manufacturer. The community can port something like Cyanogenmod to the device, but that does not mean it will happen.
If you really want Lollipop on your device, you could probably try to build the stock sources and put that on your device. Once you have that down, try to move from 4.4.2 to 5.0.whatever. You may have some problems with booting/recovery/wifi/etc. Try to figure out what is going on so you can fix it.
With a (cheap) device like the Tab 3 7.0", I would not anticipate Samsung releasing another update for it. They community has been working on it for awhile and has a semi-working CM11.
So, like moonbut said, maybe.

It doesn't confirm that both the international version and the US version will get it, nor that the T-Mobile variant will get it, but hey, it's something...

well i would edit your title then, it misleads us into believe it IS a confirmation...
It IS a confirmation that the Galaxy S 3 will get Kit Kat. I never claimed that it was a confirmation that our Galaxy S 3's will get Kit Kat.

Woo!
Yeah, pretty sure it's going to get Kitkat. Even if it doesn't officially, there are always roms haha.
I hope its something to "wow" us. I mean, my friend received his update on his GN3 and he noticed a great battery life and just a bit more snappy. It was something like a 500mb download so it had to be more features. I'm wondering if we're going to get something like that or a whole new TW maybe. By the time we get the update the GS5 will be out.
Do not expected the new TW interface, the S3 will never see the new tw interface from an official update. Would probably see improvements in wifi connection, bluetooth connection, perhaps some tweaking to settings and under the armor updates from 4.4.2
We will for sure get the new update as the S3 counts for a lot of the samsung units sold aroung the world
OK folks, lets take this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639286 for focused discussion in one thread. Thanks

It's barely even a year old so well within the supposed 18 month window, just wait until they have the Tab 4's out then they will likely release it after those have been out a while so as not to interfere with their sales.
It's been said as much that the Tab 3's are in line to receive the 4.4 KitKat update, they may well only end up releasing it for the 8.0, 10.0 & the Sprint version of the 7.0
So until Samsung out right say it's not getting it, then it's coming.

Yeah it's listed on their own site, although they don't specify which models.
The Note 8.0 just got KitKat (also on that list) pretty much out of the blue the other week, I will be very surprised if the Tab 8.0 (& I guess 10.0) don't get it, it's the 7.0 I'd be more doubtful about.
Tab 3 8.0 has 1.5GB RAM, it shouldn't really be an issue, but I think it's time Samsung trimmed their bloatware down, I use none of it.
cousin's almost new tab 3 8.0 is showing a weird problem.
sometimes the screen stop responding and only way is to press power to turn off screen and back on and touch starts working again.
what you guys think, a hardware problem in line or just a software glitch.
tab is full stock and not been rooted.

This old post is very funny. Speculation was no update for Tab 3 and S3 but I JUST updated S3 to KitKat and soon Tab 3 will have it too!
UK and France just got OTA KitKat and soon US will too.
Just funny to see.

THe 4.4.2 runs well. Also the AOSP versions of 4.4.4 work fine too.
If its ok, could you please give an overview of the new rom, what's new and whats missing from the old rom that might make someone consider whether to upgrade or not. This site is fantastic, one thing that is usually difficult though is finding basic rom change related info , more often than not its how to root a new rom with no details of the changes, and some people are only cosidering change. Thanks. (I believe side loading flashplayer is now impossible ?) Thanks again.
Hey Peeps,
I have been an Android user since Nexus One itself but never stumbled upon a phone without any ROMs except this one. Am I missing out something? Why aren't they in development?
Please do let me know if they exist cause I was thinking about taking the initiative of making one.
There are no roms under development I think so..... So u should go for it ??

What the good news this morning... go for it dude! we'll support you... and don't forget for LTE model also... :laugh:
I think so. No AOSP Rom for Note 3 Neo up to now although its was issued 4 months ago :laugh:. I like the design, S-Pen, battery life, price and its performance but I have never seen any hi-end deviced before with no both custom ROM and recovery like it (N750 - hl3gxx).
I think we have to wait or study to build myself . I have just bought a second-hand Nexus 5 to feel 4.4.3 Rom beside N750. :laugh::laugh:
Hi look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2828261
Do you think the tab 3 would get lollipop?
Officially? Doubt it for Tab 3, the Tab 4's might.
Unofficially? I hope so... fingers crossed...
they should
Samsung provides support fot devices two years after their release, tqb 3 was launched on july 2013, so we should be getting the update

Samsung probably won't release Lollipop for the Tab 3. They might, but based off of Samsung's history with devices -- especially lower end devices -- I would say probably not. I was actually surprised to see Samsung update the T210R to Android 4.4.2. I don't think they will do any more updates.
As for community porting, it is a possibility. However, it seems to be moving slowly. Your best bet here is to help that effort by testing or writing code or filling in random bits of information.
Speaking as someone who is trying to port Cyanogenmod to the Tab 3 (7.0), its a little harder than it looks. That said, I haven't spent time on it recently, so YMMV.
I think that Gr9nole has done a fair job with the porting work, but I haven't been able to get his stuff working with Cyanogenmod. It might be that I'm using an unsupported version of Java. Even with Lollipop, my version of java is not supported (Java 1.8). And I don't really feel like installing Java 1.7.
Nope unless some brave chap will build it from source. If we are lucky it might be on AOKP or Cyanogenmod
I have a TAB 3 10" stock, but I barely use it, since it is so laggy. Is there any ROM or MOD that could make it faster?
I really don't think anyone will build from source cm 11 development Is taking a while at least that should be ready for this tab. May not get lollipop
we can only hope. like was said i remember sammy saying two years was the update period. i would think companies like sprint and att and tmobile who are still giving these away for free might help us. they should want the newest os to help push them. tmobile on the 7in. got 4.4.4 i am on sprint 7in which is still on 4.4.2 but there was a small update recently. so hopefully development is still going.
Erm..... no I think lollipop won't be on Galaxy Tab 3 devices since they closed source unless someone do it by scratch.
Who will do the honours and compile an AOSP ROM for T999?
Doc Holiday where are you now?
or even a touchwiz ROM of S5 or S4 I love touchwiz..
I am also looking forward to this, however patience will be our friend. It's weeks like this one that make me want to learn how to write custom ROMs in their entirety myself. When I'm out of school I am totally going to learn to make ROMs!

Thats not what I meant.. I am already using that ROM.. I ment a touchwiz Andriod 5.0 .. of the S5 or S4(ported for the S3). cause I doubt S3 will get a official Android 5.0 update

I highly doubt we will ever see a TW lollipop rom for our devices, our phone has become highly unpopular and most devs are gone. We are lucky we got a taste of kitkat since our device's sisters received the update and they all run the same processor. We are gonna have to settle with vanilla lollipop roms.

Don't feel bad, our phone is still a good device. Since our device has many variants (one for each carrier) our only hope would be if any devs from the other variants work on their devices and one of our devs port those roms to us, similar to what happened with the kitkat roms. I'm not changing my phone anytime soon, it handles everything I throw at it. Or device was ahead of its time, similar to many vintage sports cars lol

This is why I picked S3 .. I heard S4 was such a battery hogg with its air gesture sensors and stuff.. and S5 was too expensive for me at this stage.
Read last night about Lollipop's better access to removable storage and I'm starting to think I'd rather skip KK altogether.
If only we could get wifi calling on 5.0 :silly:

I totally agree. The S3 was ahead of it's time and I'm starting to see a 3year ledgendary device trend with Samsung. Word is, the S6 will be grand. Propabaly I'll see it fit to upgrade then. I prefer Vanilla ROMs though, so I will be looking forward to AOSP, AOKP and CM build of Android 5.0. I can see some gorgeously awesome themes for Android 5.0 new material design with the theme engine so no Touchwiz for me
I would pay if it came to that for someone to make a 5.0 build! I don't have much, but I'd be desperate for animation galore and prettiness!

Anyone interested in building a port?
There's a post in the at&t Samsung Galaxy s3 original android development for cm12 running lollipop 5.0. I flashed it on my t999 and it works great. Just follow the flashing instructions and flash all the files they say to flash. Your welcome. The topic is labeled cyanogenmod 12. It's build 4.

Side note... You will get a /data error while flashing but ignore that because it flashes after that error. First boot takes a long time. Some had to factory reset after flash or battery pull during first boot. I had to go back into recovery and factory reset but booted afterwards. Took almost 10 minutes to boot. But running it now and it works great for an alpha build.

I agree with what your saying about 3 year legendary device. The S3 is very well built, like the Vibrant. So my guess is, S6, if there's going to be one, will be as final of the S4 - S5 experiments.
