Galaxy S4 and Note 3 to get the Android 4.4 KitKat update late January, announces SFR​

French carrier SFR braved the unwritten rule not to talk about Android update schedules, and came out with a statement that Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4 and Note 3 will be receiving the Android 4.4 KitKat update at the end of January (for the S4), and the beginning of February (for the Note 3).

The SFR team mentions that exact rollout dates will be announced later on, when more info about the KitKat update project trickles down from their software department, which is in charge of the carrier updates.

This goes to show that carriers around the globe would likely follow a similar timeframe for their own Galaxy S4 and Note 3 KitKat rollout, though as far as we know US carrier restrictions, they will probably drag their feet at least a month after, until all required precautions are met.

Thanks: SFR & AA​

After that, we may get 4.4 Kitkat over MIUI (My predictions).

Recovery

Why does the MIUI Roms come with much older recovery and we have to then flash a new recovery. Can a newer version of recovery not be incorporated in the ROM so that after flashing the ROM the recovery is up to date??

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] D™:
Recovery isn't part of MIUI ROM.

I note that you have deleted the lines below from the original updater_script...

assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/Provision.apk", "f0746948dc32b16c6fd42b423c5816d34e95fbe2", "1f460efdd44a0dc5d3690e7366534a8d55fc9bdf"));

set_progress(0.282560);

Please clarify as last time, you said that we should delete "the apply_patch_check lines until assert(apply_patch_check(build.prop)"

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] modyt:
I found out that the problems are only with Provisions.apk and QuickSearchBox.apk. Any deleting only those two worked.

As we know that there was some problem with the quoted changelog about changes in the calendar. So should we just leave it for now or is there an added package available. I know there was this zip which actually contained apks from 2008 and didnt do anything.

I got a new calendar but still no new one on the widget list if we go via drawer. If add on widget is used then the option is there but even on an empty screen it says no room for this widget.

Any fix?

Can you post a screenshot like here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] kamirza:
Screen shots as per your advice. One showing widget through drawer . One showing option of transparent and white widget through add on option. The empty screen had that prompt for a second saying no room on the screen. I tied several times but could not capture that prompt as it was very brief.

Thanks

Added another screenshot as I managed through vol down and menu button thats why the sound ring is also on the screen

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] modyt:
It says we need to press and hold. But torch gets activated even if its just pressed. That's a bug. They need to change the delay for press and hold. Only those who experience it know about the bug.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] croach246:
I am also fairly certain it is a bug and has been around for a while. Pressing the home button only sometimes activates the touch. I have tried just tapping the button quicky vs pressing it for a couple split seconds longer.. Can never replicate the touch coming on unless I press and hold for 2+ seconds.

Also sometimes after unlocking the phone and swiping to move to the password screen - upon swiping the phone sometimes re locks itself.

Hope these get ironed out soon!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] D™:

I can confirm this bug... I've always had it in fact!

It's not every time, but once in a while when you just click the home button to wake up the phone (without holding as the feature is supposed to work), the flashlight activates...

I had reported it again recently in the official English MIUI bug thread and told [MENTION=5558264]Aluard[/MENTION] the thread maintainer to revise the list of bugs that had been fixed, since I was still experiencing that bug, but it seemed that I was the only one there who had it....
