Does anyone know when we might get the firmware for the i9505 google edition? I'm sure there is much talk about being able to flash this on a regular i9505. I would like to see this used as a better base for all aosp roms in the future. Do you think we have to wait until the 26th release of the device or will we get a leak?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyS49505:

Sammobile is saying something about releasing a test firmware for a flagship device tomorrow...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Hope they're talking about the i9505.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Indeed. But given that it generally happens to Nexus devices, there is no reason to believe this won't happen to the Nexus edition of the S4 eventually. The binaries for the Nexus 4 were released in March for example and it now has full AOSP support.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
But it's Samsung we're talking about :p
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirdicholas:
I would hope, seeing that this was announced at Google io, and it will get regular updates just like nexus devices, Google is going to be in charge of software for this endeavor. If that is the case, I'm positive we will get all the goodies that nexus gets. And I guess I'm wrong, but I thought the firmware that comes with nexus' are aosp.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
But how much control will Samsung have over Google's policy in this respect? One would hope negligible if any, especially given that the backbone of the device isn't even based on Samsung hardware anyway. If Google's S4 was based on the I9500 it might be a different matter.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirdicholas:
I hope this partnership is a clear and decisive 50/50 deal. Samsung hardware and Google software.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
We've had that mix before. It was called "Samsung Galaxy Nexus" ^^
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dublinz:
Well i think in respect to S4 Google edition software , Samsung will control next to none, Google will push new software for Google nexus devises including SGS4 and HTC One Google edition in that respect no more delays due to "touch wiz / sense" adaptation
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerys:
But Google still needs Samsung for updated radio's,drivers etc.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Do they? How much of the device is actually Samsung hardware that requires Samsung drivers? It's a Qualcomm device. Other than drivers for the bespoke Samsung features like Air View/Gesture and Smart Scroll etc (which Google won't be using anyway) I can't think of anything Google need off Samsung. This is exactly why making AOKP and CM roms has been so easy for the device. The first guy who created a CM rom did it without even owning one .

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xceptiona1noob:
Im racking my brain trying to think of where I heard it, my best guess is all about android podcast. When I heard it, I figured it seemed reasonable, because samsung wouldn't have to really do much work, just post up the google ROM that I'm sure they could easily obtain through the partnership.

Made me think twice about purchasing the google version for full price, if in a few months I would be able to take a subsidized one and just throw the google rom on it. So I would presume they wouldn't announce anything until after that has a bit of time to sell...or it could have just been me hearing voices too. I would have sworn I heard it though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dublinz:
you just made my day :) anyway i hope you are right ...either way sgs4 is great phone google prompt update will be bonus ...if not we have XDA and proven developers to feed our flash addiction :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derWolf_:
Somehow I don't believe this. We should not forget that we are talking about Samsung
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dublinz:
But we should also take into account that Samsung was the first 2 put Google edition forward.... soon after Google I/O HTC CEO stated that HTC doesent have plans for Google edition phone....yet today he is singing different tune.

Samsung vs HTC (update wise)

I come from HTC (Sensation) witch is same age as SGS2 ... with similar hardware.... but in stark contrast SGS2 have official JB rom, HTC Sensation DOESENT....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derWolf_:
True that. And yes I also agree that Samsung in terms of updating are much better than any other manifacture out there (except for Google for obvious reasons), but still I don't think that they will provide the normal I9505 (not that I9505G is any different in terms of hardware) with stock JB. What's the point of releasing I9505G then? Instead they can just release the rom for the normal one and that's it.

I really don't know, these are just assumptions, based on.... nothing really :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankness:
I serisly hope thats true.

Edit. To the thing about samsung will realise a clean google firmware to non s4 nexus devices
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:

You have to patch them with ME4 source, which is for a different kind of S4!!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totriz:
I'm sure it's relatively easy for samsung to release a clean android rom for every phone they make, but they will release it only if it makes commercial sense to them. (If releasing those roms increase sales)

Right now there's no incentive for realeasing a clean rom. Enough people buy samsung devices as they are right now. I doubt those numbers will be impacted with the s4 google edition. The people that want a stock android experience (including me) are not the core samsung customers.

I don't mind the samsung mods. I like their camera app, and have deleted or replaced every other samsung app on my i9500, the only thing that worries me is future android updates, and if or when we will get them.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gillion:
We were all surprised by the google edition S4 ... so that is something tothink about.

Most of us had our jaws on the ground during thay google io presentation.

Even HTC was caught off guard.

We also need to bear in mind the upcoming Motorola device.

Motorola has Sammy and HTC on edge... this could have been the stimulus that prompted Samsung to make the S4GE

Was it to stay on Googles good side and prevent getting left behind when the Motorola device is launched ?

The thing about amateurs is that they improve over time

And with only 2 or 3 devices to handle it should be cake to them to update the Google Htc one considering they dont have to bother with all the sense stuff

I could be wrong but still, letting the OEMs handle the updates really takes away the joy of a nexus experience

All OEms handle updates in an extremely crappy way even Samsung who is the best at it sucks balls, just imagine the rest

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tuvan03:
Okay, I just recently got the S3 after having an HTC hero for years that was unceremoniously killed by mother nature on a ride home that took me through a torrential downpour on a motorcycle.

My little hero was rooted and running cyanogenmod 7.2 however i haven't messed with modifying any phone or such since that one or more advanced than that.

I know there are tons of threads with how Tos on rooting the s3 and such. But, I have noticed in a few of them they mention "tripping a flash counter". Does the method shown by qbking trip it or not, and what is the significance of this?

Something else I'm noticing being mentioned in various threads are Kernels. To be honest I don't know what they are and haven't found a thread explaining them. So what do they do what is their significance? etc etc

Thanks in advance for any help and I'm sorry if these have been answered before somewhere I'm not seeing. But I think it's better to ask and get answers from the experts and be sure before moving forward with modifying my brand new phone. Especially since the guys at my local sprint store root and modify their phones so they know what to look for in case something were to happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Before I answer your questions, I just wanted to thank you for reading up a lot prior to asking and trying to find the answer on your own. Also, your questions were clear and concise, which is becoming more rare on this site (and others).

Ok, as far as the trip counter goes, it shouldn't matter if you trip it. Samsung is a lot more developer-friendly than HTC is, so there's no locked boot loader (on the s3) and there's no real big deal with tripping the counter. You can use triangle away to remove the trip, but it shouldn't matter. I believe qbking's method well trip it.

Kernals are a bit more difficult to explain, but if you're familiar with drivers for Windows, I think the concept is similar. The android os is not designed to communicate with every piece of hardware out there. The kernals are there to act as the translator between the "generic" language of android and the specific language of the specific hardware that's used in the phone. So when android asks for the GPS, all it had to do is call upon the GPS. The kernel is the one that translates that and gives directions to the specific piece of hardware (in this case, the GPS). The main advantage of custom kernals is that they can also relate the processor speed, which can either boost performance or save battery life, depending on your preferences and settings.

There is a thread in general that talks a lot about the ktoonsez Kendall and the various settings that people have used. I've found it a good primer on kernals and how the different governors work.

After all that, have fun flashing!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tuvan03:
Thanks for the help and the info. As far as the kernel thing goes i must admit i feel stupid now, esp being a computer science major, granted I'm just beginning toward my degree however for some reason i just didn't put two and two together. My excuse is that it was late at night/early in the morning heh :p, that being said please excuse me while i go bang my head against a wall to see if i can jump start my brain.

I guess now the only thing left to do is watch the video again/download the files and root the sucker and go from there.

Thanks again for the info and guess i need to read the FAQ a bit more rather than skimming through

Thank you very much, the airplane mode + GPS trick is very helpful.

Besides the GPS (safety?) issue I think the F-02E is excellent for the price. A waterproof 5" 1080p with quad core cortex A9 for $300 is a good deal. I have not noticed Google Maps being inaccurate and also I have had no restarting issues when the network signal is low.
