I actually don't find my Tab S 8.4 to have all that much bloatware on it compared to other devices I've owned. Most of the things I didn't want could be disabled so no big deal.
I think devices released after the S6 may not have all that bloatware out of the box, but I think devices that are on the market right now will get an update more along the lines of what the S5 got it
"Here is a new version of android for your tab s! It doesn't include these 20 thing, 5 of which you used all the time! Please feel free to figure out how to reinstall them!"
Yeah, I am pretty sure they will never do that to happy customers.

So a rumor about a historically sketchy company when it comes to updates.. Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath for a quick update. If one ever arrives it will likely be months if not half a year. By then, Lollipop 5.1 or 5.2 is probably out and it's already outdated again.
Yeah I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 gt n8013. The official firmware for that is still 4.1.2 there was a big announcement for kit Kat for the note it said "select carrier variants" well that was true. It wasn't a carrier variant and it didn't get selected.

Yeah, I would say there is a reasonable chance of Lollipop, likely after Mallomor has already been announced.

Me too, using touch wiz or my third party launcher I see no difference in anything ...isnt there a folder somewhere showing latest updates / downloads ?
Back in the fall, I think it was expected we'd get it in February. Any new word?
My guessing is somewhere this year. I own a tab s and reports from sammobile say that the Tab s gets it somewhere in the spring. Im not sure about the tab pros though
Any such predictions are pure speculation and are pointless. Make up what ever date you want. It will be no more or less accurate than any other random XDA member.
Today samsung show lollipop on galaxy tab s (8.4 and 10.1) running 5.0.2 . So we know know the modification of touchwiz for lollipop tablets its almost finished . I suppouse it was easier to bring lollipop for smartphones and also tjey are their most important product so its easy to see why tjey wanted to update them before tablets.

I can only hope the pro models are included, considering their specs and general "newness".

Personally I can't see any Lollipop 5.0 version coming to the Tab Pro soon, Samsung have been rolling out T320XXU1BNI1 for 6 months now which is 4.4.2 update.
As this is still being rolled out then this will delay any 5.0 version coming to the Tab Pro, why spend time and resources rolling out an update to 4.4.2 if you intended to roll out 5.0.
Be nice if 5.0 did come to the Tab Pro but if it is, don't think its going to be very soon if at all.
Samsung Live Updates
they are. The tablets will receive lollipop are the 3 tab pro , the 3 tab s and the note 10.1 (2014) . Of course they have priorities but we can always wait for a port to use in the midtime

I probably read similar articles as you but I think that they tended to say Note Pro, Tab S and Galaxy Note 2014, as getting it but any other Tabs are unlikely, whatever does happen is out of our control anyway all we can do is wait and see what Samsung do.
if we dont get official we can hope someone port those lollipop roms to tabs pro (like it was done to give touchwiz kitkat to the s3 or lollipop to the s4 using a note 3 rom)
spoke with Samsung rep..
I spoke with a Samsung tech 2 weeks ago and she told me the Tab S will be getting the upgrade in the spring an tab pro was not on the update list yet...but probably would get it..

What do you think how reliable is this source? According to this sheet we will get 5.0 in march to april.
Samsung has hell of a lot work to do. Because they have uncountable number of midrange devices. :laugh:
S4 Mini, S5 Mini, Galaxy A3, A5, A7, E5, E7, Grand 2, Note 3 Neo to name a few.
But certainly S4 mini and s5 mini will get in 2nd quarter of this year. :good: Once S6 is launched world wide.
http://www.androidsilverprogram.com/2014/07/List-Of-Smartphones-Getting-Android-L-update.html
At the bottom of the page is a list including the S4 Mini as well.
Although I still haven't received the 4.4.2 update in my region yet
Hoping for good things though :fingers-crossed:
Waiting........
Yup. Been checking every month this year and I haven't seen anything promised later than April. So it's crunch time! Really hoping it'll happen soon, I'm terribly annoyed by the limitation apps have writing to the sd card in any location other than their own folder. You all think that this will be different in lollipop?
i hope we get the 5.1 version straight, because 5.0 has issues
I hope this update.
Otherwise, i choose another manufacturer after years with Samsung.
I gave up the S5 Mini after realizing that has problems such as low-quality recordings (sounds captured with mic) compared the S4 Mini and the camera gets to be lower.
If this update happen I stand with Samsung and I will try a S6 Mini . Otherwise i give up Samsung.

S5 mini is a horrible device. No custom roms, no dev support because it has no source code, uses poor chipset and is priced like it is the best phone ever.
No wonder the price of that phone came down by 130$ in India within 20days of its launch.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...l-5-0-release-date-when-can-i-get-it--1257804
Other Samsung handsets may have to wait a little longer, although we'd expect that most high profile devices released in the last 18 months to 2 years will get the update, including the Galaxy S4 Mini and the Galaxy S5 Mini.
Let's hope the first release hasnt got all the issues the S4 firmware has/had.
Guys can anyone tell me if the stock lollipop , incase it exists, will have sdcard issues? Do i have to use sdfix or foldermount again??

I bought a Tab Pro 8.4 on Black Friday and I haven't received a single OS update since. I'm on 4.4.2 and I actually like my tablet a lot and everything runs well aside from some occasional touchscreen over-sensitivity. Still, I'd at least like to see a 4.4.4 update before they mothball it. Has there been any official word about an upcoming update? I know I can get more recent firmware versions by flashing a ROM but I don't care for CM and I don't want to break the multi-window feature or the Samsung features that sync with my Samsung Smart TV.
Actually, I've got mine rooted and tweaked with Xposed Framework modules so it's just the way I like it. I'm not sure I would install an update when it came out.
There is an update for the 8.4 WiFi only T320 version just released but its only an update to the current 4.4.2, don't know about other 8.4 PRO versions though.
Don't expect this TAB to get 5.0.

Samsung takes a while for updates... I've been waiting months for 5.0 on my tab S. And it's a flagship device!

Agree with that they are slow but they only really do updates in the first 12 - 14 months after that its just minor things never a full rom, my tab was February 2104 so I am really not expecting it to ever get 5.0, the TAB S was released in the summer time so much more likely to get it, its all just hope really.
This extract from techradar says
Samsung doesn't seem great at updating its tablets either. There's a good chance recent slates like its Note Pro and Tab S ranges and even the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 will get Android Lollipop, but anything older or low end is probably not going to happen.
And looking here when you scroll down to the Samsung section there isn't much relating to TABS either

Hi Devs and modders,
the S4 mini LTE (I9195) is still a very popular phone.
Is it possible to create a (modified) S8 rom to port it to the S4 mini to have a "S8 mini" ?
There are a lot of S4 mini user who would be happy to update their phones to a "S8 mini"
So is there are skilled dev/modder who could makes this dream of us S4 mini users come true?
Thanks in advance.
Tku12
I can do it. But since i traded my s4 mini with an galaxy s3 4g....
Hi!
I wanna help u, how can I contact u?
Any news about this? I am sure that a lot of s4 mini owners would love this rom.
I want this rom...
What features do you expect it to have and which version of Android? Was it just meant to port the style (UI) of the S8 on the latest stock Rom for the s4 mini LTE?!
I'm not a dev, but I might also be interested to have S8 mini rom. I just bought a Note 4 now and repaired the Touch of my S4 mini. Now it looks like new from the outside, only the software-inside is still looking ugly. It might be the first try of creating an own rom..... I'm ready I guess, gonna look later today on it. (Y)

Add all features of s8.
Wishlist

Android 6 with Magisk Support and XposedF
S8 apps an Features (BLF, AOD, Edge Panel Other Advance Features) whatever is Possible
S8 Samsung Experience UI
S8 fonts and icons
:laugh:
seria genial tenerl ele stilo s8 en un s4 mini
So is anyone actually working on this?
I wanted 3 variant for i9190 too :angel:
It's possible port this rom for s4 mini?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/development/rom-hyper-rom-unique-t3567369
It's very difficult as the last Samsung update is 4.4.4 so only you can add s8 themes , icons ,fonts etc
Any new about this? Anyone is working on it?

Apparently not... So sad... It would be best if it had same Android and features as S8, well some of them at least, no bloatware...
I dont think this will ever happen. you could install
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-s4-mini-3g-lte-t3471761
Its Official lineageos Android 7.1.2 for our phone from arco68. His rom works very well. Use it since 6-7 months.
You could possible find install theme/launcher/icons to have look a like a galaxy s8 (mini). I as example use nova launcher and MIUI Icons (doesn't like the newer ones). And MIUI 6 Wallpapers.
It's without any bloatware. Android 4.4.4 from samsung has around 350? packages (around 90 I disabled). Lineage os around 150-190.

It's impossible to make an s8 rom because reasons.
We don't even have official 6.0 TOUCHWIZ, so yeah.
But is possible theme kitkat stock rom, like Hoplite or VROM
Please, anyone?
Don't know if possible but a S8 rom for s4 mini i9190 users with samsung features and fonts in the new android 8.0 would be incredibly brilliant. If it's someone who could make it, it would be awesome. Please, if you read me and know how to do it, make me happy. :fingers-crossed:
S8 Mini
I really need this rom because i love the s8 features, I would love this rom to be android Lollipop 5 or Marshmallow 6...:good::good:
