Galaxy Nexus didn't get kernel 3.4, I don't think we'll get it too.

[Galaxy S III General] Phone_Guru:
The galaxy nexus is a Google updated phone, the S3 is a samsung phone so it might get a 3.4 kernel.
[Galaxy S III General] dandroid13:
What's so amazing about 3.4 anyway? :confused:

so what ??

GS3 using Exynos

Gnex using TI OMAP
[Galaxy S III General] dandroid13:
So a software upgrade doesn't necessarily mean a kernel update? This is what happened with the GNex.

[Galaxy S III General] yahyoh:
yes and no :p

yes when an oem release an software update to fix some bugs in the software ( apps - framework - etc ) without any kernel changes

no when an oem update Android version ( 4.1 ->> 4.2 ) they have to rework many things in the kernel but that not necessarily mean they are going to rebase ( rebuild ) the kernel on a newer Linux kernel version ;)

I know his is a S3 forum, but since new firmware is going to be released on monday for the S3, is there any chance that the Note 2 will get 4.2.2 by monday, too??

Thanks!

Who knows...

But I don't think so... This is a leak for s3...

Just seen posts about new ROM on Monday! Is this an official ROM from Samsung via Kies\OTA or a leaked ROM requiring rooting.

D'oh, what else would it be ?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
If Faryaab mentions something about us going to be happy on Monday = probably leak

If SamMobile mentions something about us going to be happy on Monday = Most certainly official update, and in this case 4.2.2.
[Galaxy S III General] IamIrene:
then is official update ??

but how come faryaab getting the update @@
[Galaxy S III General] Kiszonyogor95:
To Blenky - Yeah, but from what I knew flashing a leak do NOT require rooting your phone

[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I dunno. Would be nice if it was, but a leak is just as good in my opinion.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:

Both Faryaab and SamMobile tweeted about "monday" so I think will be official release. But Faryaab is also a editor of SamMobile so who knows :silly:
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
He works for SamMobile, yes.
[Galaxy S III General] Blenky:
Knob! I'm asking what it is - official or leaked - not if its something other than that. Some people eh?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
How are we to know if it's a leak or an official release? We can but speculate.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
There's no need for this, just be patient and wait rather than calling people names.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Very wise, Master Delsus is. :D
[Galaxy S III General] Blenky:
Sorry he did ask for that - if you can't help you shouldn't post factious comments! The every next post from his was most helpful.

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

OK thanks. As I've not been on the board for awhile and there are hundreds of pages I didn't know where the story started so wondering if its a root requirement jobbie. I'll keep my eyes on developments - cheers
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Are you new to Samsung devices? Flashing roms doesn't require root in any way.

Odin tars are flashed with Odin - doesn't require root

CWM can be flashed with Odin and then roms can be flashed with CWM - still doesn't require root.

Nothing whatsoever requires root when flashed when /system isn't loaded because root is only necessary when you're booted.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
I did respond earlier to him. Don't need to be angry. We must keep kind with new users and noobs. A noob today a great developer maybe tomorrow. I know some cases like that. People just keep cool.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
But here's the thing when you go around calling people names, everyone will think you are in the wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] Oomahey:
Now that a new firmware is confirmed, the million rupee question is how much space will the ROM occupy and how much will be available....we all know of the space issue in S4 and if most of its features are to be included in our S3... O.O

I know the 4.2.1 leak did not affect usable space much but I still dread the worst. *wince*
[Galaxy S III General] nfribeiro:
Just to confirm... Can the leak be installer through Mobile ODIN? Right?

I already had a leak installed using mo but I don't know if it was in the S3...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I'm thinking 1.5 GB.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

If it comes as an odin tar, which I think it will - then yes!
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
In mobile Odin you can also flash zip...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Yes, but not zips which have odin tars in them. ;)

Which is exactly how SamMobile packs them.
[Galaxy S III General] gsozcan97:

[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:

[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
This is probably a stupid question but what the hell..

If nexus has an official JB rom and it is also android couldnt we take it off that? and put inside an the S3's framework?

one more thing lol... Is the nexus JB exactly what we are going to have?
[Galaxy S III General] daraj:
Can anyone confirm this:

From standby screen off, when I call comes, it rings fine but all I see is the lockscreen with no option to reply. There is a big delay before the answer screen shows up and I almost miss the answer.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
I've noticed that the camera doesn't show preview of shots during the actual taking of photos. I've managed to work around it by switching from front to rear camera. This seems to work.

I did a factory reset after the update, but I still have some apps crashing (QuickOffice Pro and Polar Office 4) The Polar Office viewer 4.1 that comes preinstalled on the ROM works fine. I am assuming that there are JB specific issues with these apps.

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

No, it's not that simple, mainly because Samsung hasn't released driver sources (which they most likely never will do) or kernel sources for JB (which they should do by GPL rules soon after release of the official stock JB ROM.

Without these, the frameworks don't do much, because you need driver level stuff to connect with the hardware, etc.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
ahh ok thanks... But the jelly bean that nexus is using we are going to have the exact same thing, Nothing different?
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
This happened to me on several ICS roms too, but I have not noticed it on this JB rom.
[Galaxy S III General] thiago4santos:
back to stock till the official launch.

the camera worked fine after this configuration but there is no point in using a bugged firmware just for curiosity
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
I have no bugs, everything works fine.

I've had it on my phone since it dropped yesterday.
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
have to say i agree with tuff........once i set the rendering and overlay everything was fine. wifi works, calls work, tw is smooth, battery is great (15 hr 1:45hr screen time 36% left)

i went back to stock LG8, then just flashed this......
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Well, no. It's a JB ROM slathered in Touchwiz sauce.

The Nexus is stock JB.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Question guys, whoever flashed this version can you tell me what the changelist number on the kernel is?

I flashed the OTA one and have 3.0.31 61691.
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
i flashed this version and have the same kernel build
[Galaxy S III General] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
Is this rom deodexed ? If not, how can I deodex it ?
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
It will be ODEXED (as stock) - if you want to deodex then you need to google how to do so, and its not always a simple task so if you have no clue on any development things it might be best you leave it alone.

And most annoying of all was the touch here boxes that should only show up on first boot kept coming up every time I unlocked the screen. And yes I did tick the box that says do not show again!
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
to remove those tip boxes you need to go menu > settings > applications > all - then find the app "help" and force close it then click disable then reboot.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Exactly the same thing here. Lots of them, even with a complete wipe and factory reset before and after install.

Praying I can get back to ICS until the final version comes.

[Galaxy S III General] jprentzas:
There will be a lot of changes but as I remember the GS2 before and after the update to 4.1.2 the accuweather widget didn't change. It has the same widget like 4.0.4. So I am afraid that the only changes will be in the UI and some of the apps. And I thinks that will be that way because sammy wants th people to see the diference between the two phones S4 and S3 not only in the hardaware but in the software as well.
[Galaxy S III General] TigerCourage:
What are you talking about? The accuweather widget changed on the S2 after the 4.1.2 update.

Actually that is not true, I have SGS2 and after updating to 4.1.2 it got the same weather widget as my SGS3

Are you sure? I kept the SG2 only for a day after the update and I remember that there wasn't the same accuweather widget as in the SG3. If I am wrong sorry. Maybe I have to check it again. But it made me wonder because i saw a huge diference before and after the update except this.

[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
People at Samsung should really watch this video. Maybe they will learn something.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQZFaec9NpA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

From the looks of it their developers did zero optimizations. There is really no reason apps like the messaging app or contacts app to drop below 60fps and produce any lag while scrolling if done right.

The tools are right there. If only they would proper test their own apps they would see it's not up to standards.

No you don't. You can flash any firmware if you have s3 international version. Only your csc will maybe mismatch. And baseband can be different. But you can change that after rooting the firmware with apps like csc change and flashing other modem that matches your region.
[Galaxy S III General] jprentzas:
OK.. I am familiar with this. Thank you. I just thought that if I flash an official firmware with diferent csc I would not be a able to change it. thank you!
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
But cautious. Changing csc will probably wipe your internal sdcard.

I will do a full wipe / factory reset after flashing the new firmware via odin so back up is the only way. Thank you for mention it.

Indeed. Lol
[Galaxy S III General] nelsonw:
Hello

But Sam Mobile already twitted about this...

https://twitter.com/SamMobiles/status/335782090773774336

So, mi guess: it's oficial.

AND...

If it's a leak (beta version) there's no need to wait until Monday. Smart business starts a rollout on Monday, when they have all support on business hours. The other 3 letters company does it on Friday and all the people are left in the wind all the weekend. It happened with a buggy release for the 1x. Sorry we can't talk of that here. Who reads that understand. Lol
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
I don't see Sam firmware as an official Samsung service... and people having software running on their phones officially before the others... my guess
[Galaxy S III General] nelsonw:
No Sam firmware (Sam Mobile) isn't a official Sammy website. Indeed. But they post on their Web site only released firmware. They don't talk or discuss leaked fw. That's why some people guess that the official update its coming.
[Galaxy S III General] jprentzas:
they say that the new firmware comes out in Mondey maybe because samsung wants to be all ok with the servers to start the download from the s3 users without problems. My guess...
[Galaxy S III General] Eleve11:
If I'm not misinformed, I think that SamMobile have an agreement with Samsung over posting Firmwares.
[Galaxy S III General] Kiszonyogor95:
And it is already a second half of may, so gossips about official update in the end of may, might come true ;) but we can only speculate until monday...

Well. All 4.1.2 firmwares over at SamMobile isn't leaks. It's releases.

[Galaxy S III General] Eleve11:
Yes of course they are posted on SamMobile but every new 4.1.2 firmware for the S3 isn't a leak. It's actually a new release for a specified region or country. Just making things clear so we don't have any misunderstandings ;)

You are forgetting when they published beta 4.1.2 compiled with leaked OTA's.
