"Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III General > Android 4.3 Discussion thread"

As much as I understand what the OP reads and with my own eyes can read. The thread has been posted in the above location.

If it was purely just about Android 4.3 and not alluding to Samsung, then it would have been posted somewhere else. Maybe int he LG forum, HTC one maybe? Heck why not even the S1 forums?

Reason:

Because 4.3, 4.4 will come out on the S3, S4, Note2 and Note3 (hopefully all those mentioned, on the Samsung side) - and in that respect I expect a Samsung based ROM from them.

I personally prefer Samsung based roms and have done for the last 3-4years. That's a personal preference. As for the devs on the site - there are some that use CM base and there are others that use Sammy base - that was on my previous point on not disrespecting anyone.

I think it IS CLEAR to us that you hate Samsung based Roms and Touchwiz with that too, and rather have the "pure experience". One could ask you, why did you buy a Samsung device and not a Google device (ie Nexus)?

Anyway, all I was trying to say is what the difference between 4.2.2 and 4.3 are on a SAMSUNG GALAXY S 3 (as this is where the thread is located). I should be naturally implied, that I'm talking about Samsung roms at this point, and not CM based ones, designed for S3's. I'm sorry if that's a false assumption, but I never knew talking about touchwiz based roms wasn't meant for the Samsung section.

Also, if it is a missing section in the forum - then maybe that's also worth pointing out -> Maybe XDA should have a devoted section, in the forums, for Google news and releases?
[Galaxy S III General] tmantanner4:
Samsung based, or AOSP base, it still runs on our phone, hence why I responded, because it is something to do with my phone. Not all phones run AOSP the same. The my s3 has a much higher quadrant score than my brother's nexus 4, but it is much faster as it is open source. The way my phone runs with the same thing is different to others and I know this first hand. I believed the cm community to be greater in numbers and my opinion would have been valued.

There is no devoted forum to discuss google news (which is a brilliant idea) so I made a logical assumption that as I am using the same phone, I would contribute to the forum which is based around our phone.

I apologise if I meant any offense in any way.

Just to answer your question as to why I didn't buy a google phone, it is because I was deceived by Samsung. I bought the phone right after Samsung promised that all source code would be released. I bought into a brand thinking that the company would keep to their word. If I had realised that Samsung were a bunch of money hungry corporate suits who do not want people to enjoy the full capabilities of their devices, i would have purchased either a nexus device or something like an xperia.

This is the reasons for my negativity towards the lying pricks in suits.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
I do agree with you on that Samsung front bro!

They are turning slowly into Apple and forgetting who brought them where they are in the first place (devs and us guys who bought the S1)

sent from the state marijuanated muffins are NOT illegal !
[Galaxy S III General] wangdaning:
Plain android means what? If it just means android from source, then all of the TW users are in the glory of non-plain TouchWizz android.

If you mean pure vanilla, which doesn't get along well without the sources needed so non of us can actually try that out, then the next best be is a CM based rom. These are usually packed with tweaks that google have not packaged in their releases.

Thus, what exactly is plain android?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Plain android = Google Android/Vanilla

I wouldn't count AOSP roms as being "plain android" or vanilla. Though they have the vanilla look, but tweaks/mods wise no.
[Galaxy S III General] freshmick:
best thing about 4.3 is the Floating Windows.
[Galaxy S III General] blazevxi:
I like the look of vanilla android. I'd be more than happy to use either a Nexus device (if suitable storage wise) and/or AOSP/CM. I'm happy with TW right now on the GS3 because it works and is relatively unobtrusive compared to previous versions.

Plus it has gotten better looking over the years. Would I use stock gingerbread or froyo? Most likely not
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I could consider Nexuses, if they stop sucking hardware wise.
[Galaxy S III General] blazevxi:
Yeah like bring back external storage :p
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:

Rom with 4.3

I'm using a great rom at the moment, called Lungo... It's based on 4.3 and so far I haven't seen any flaws. All the ealier JB roms I've been using has a lot of flaws. So 4.3 together with Lungo does it for me!

Looking forward to see what 5.0 will look like though... :o

Overclocking Samsung Devices In CM 10.2

Why is it that the CPU Frequency options within the Performance settings are greyed out for the I9300 and N8010 in CM 10.2? I thought that the whole point of custom ROMs was to enable advanced capabilities of devices not normally accessible in stock ROMs?

The Samsung CPUs can be overclocked, so why is CM blocking this?

Ah, makes perfect sense :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] wangdaning:
Makes little sense. They are holding off upgrades to existing customers to promote sales to new customers. Customers will get an S4 for its android version?

If this is the case you must have insight into Samsung's crappy marketing team.

No offense, but it just seems illogical to me, and I am sure you, too.
[Galaxy S III General] tmantanner4:
You are thinking of it the wrong way. It does make perfect sense what they are doing. Marketing 101.

People want the upgrade with all of the new features. You tell them that them may not get it with their current phone and only the new one will get it. People always want what they can't have, so existing customers may decide to cut their losses and upgrade to the s4. I realise that a lot of people (including me) do not think like this, but you will be surprised how many do.

Look at Apple as an example (as much as I hate them, they have a brilliant marketing team), they released the iPhone 4s with siri and everyone went nuts wanting it. Apple announced that the older devices do not have enough power to run siri, so they will not receive it in an update. The development community ported siri over to the iPhone 4, ipod touch and the ipad 2 and it worked flawlessly. These devices did have sufficient power, but apple refused to give it to them in the update in order to drive up sales, so instead of not having siri, most people who wanted it didn't bother with jailbreaking their devices, they just bought the new phone, or the new ipad.

Samsung is doing the same thing, but the problem with them is that there isn't really anything lucrative in the s4 to really get people to crave it. Things like stranslate are cool, but barely work (my dad has it and I've tried it out) and shealth is a gimmick.

Samsung are trying to copy apple, but unfortunately are not seeing the same success.
