The worst about it is that they are still selling the s3, so for anyone who buys a new one it will be already "crippled"
[Galaxy S III General] youssefhf:
Its done , samsung officially canceled the update :((((
[Galaxy S III General] hwjrmrm:
hope we can get a leak from Sammobile.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Guys, that was a long time ago... You are a quite not updated.
[Galaxy S III General] hinuk:
Yet (insert a note ii port name here) works better than any official s3 4.3 rom, if I would be in Samsungs payroll then I would simply contact archi or some other dew in xda and ask if it would be possible to put their 4.4 rom in kies.

Only thing that they would really need to do would be to remove root and put it in kies, then everyone would be happy.

It isn't that hard Samsung. :banghead:
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
Depends what you mean by work better. It is not definitive in my opinion, ram management is not the best in note 3 port but neither is stock 4.3 (though stock 4.3 is slightly better)
[Galaxy S III General] hinuk:
Well every 4.3 touchwiz rom had same problem at least for me, proplem was that if I kept my phone on over 1 day it would make my phone slow as hell.

Only solution for it was that I kept on restarting my phone at least 1 time per day.

So far any of those 4.4 touchwiz ports haven't had that problem, so if you ask me note ii port 4.4 roms are more stable and responsive than any 4.3 rom from samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] caspernetherlands:
Stock Samsung ROM sucks, get cyanogenmod 11 and install it ;)
[Galaxy S III General] aaz03:
Personnaly i dont give a $*** about the firmware , all that i want is the source , the kernel and other tools to make Custom roms more stable , the firmware in itself will be a crap with bloatware everywhere but the source is a gold mine

[Galaxy S III General] hinuk:
Why? Unlike official or touchwiz custom 4.3 roms, with 4.4 touchwich note ii ports I don't need to as I don't have any slowdown problems.

[Galaxy S III General] Robin2:
That's not the Touchwiz camera. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
That doesn't have anything to do with what he said. You can't port TW camera to AOSP without source code, which we will never have. Besides, what you linked only fixes a few issues in the AOSP camera. Doesn't get it to TW quality, not even near it.
[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
Being a '.com' site we dont' really know if that's only referring to the US variant of the S3, which is spose to be getting it, isn't it? The only way we will really know if the international model will get it is maybe after a leak, or when the official comes out. Until then I won't even hold my breath.

As long as Samsung does not confirm that we will receive 4.4.X i will assume that we will not. :P

Tapped from my GT-I9300 running CM11 with latest Boeffla Kernel.

It makes sense.
[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
Unfortunately the list of not likely to be fixed includes the camcorder - a pretty essential feature.

But good on them for giving it a go.
[Galaxy S III General] cr0wnest:
Samsung has been pretty screwy with their updates lately. I'd rather they take their time to release a fully working firmware than rush out a half cooked one just so they can beat HTC and Sony to it.

Anyway, not like it'll matter so much to me anymore. I'll be changing phones by mid year. :p

[MENTION=4799501]thadoukuki[/MENTION]

Yes i am also agree with you ... Like i also said few pages back .. I also think that Samsung will update the Galaxy S3 on Kitkat (4.4.2).. the reasons are

The jelly bean 4.3 version on S3 have also bugs and little bit unstable so it need an update .. and kitkat is lighter than Jellybean so . KK will be last update for Galaxy S3.. which may now contain light effect and S4 weather widget or may be S5 icon or themed frame work (very less chances that we get any feature from S5 , Icons or etc ) .. Like We heard that S3 kitkat update will be arrive in April or may so we need to wait.

The rumours about Samsung poland can be fake; the reason can be that they want that all international users will switch from S3 to S5 so they make profit... :p
[Galaxy S III General] therealgiblet:
Exactly my sentiments mate. Not to mention WiFi tethering...

Annoyed with Samsung now because if homebrew devs can get 4.4 running pretty well then I'm pretty sure Sammy could get it working without too much trouble.

Useless.

Trying to work out what phone to get next because S5 and Samsung is no longer on my list.
[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
I didn't know there were any issues with tethering. I hadn't tried it. Essential to me when away from home.

[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
I still believe that the 9300 is also going to get kk... it would be a tremendous unluck if not... it's easy to port a rom from 4.3 to 4.4, there's one device practically the same (internally) that is going to have kk (note2) and another with the same amount of ram that is also going to have kk...

But we will see, Samsung never ceases us to amaze...
[Galaxy S III General] ncenter:
I don't think so. If they want to release KK for S3 they will probably boast it...

Biftor v8

I'm running Biftor v8 based on slimkat and is really stable, been running 110hours without a single random reboot, much more stable and faster than stock 4.3 sammy based.
[Galaxy S III General] inlin3:
I just moved from stock 4.3 to 4.4.2 KK qaraqumus note 2 port .

Must say phone is flying with this rom! much recommended!
[Galaxy S III General] Vishnu pv:
Exactly bro. I have been using this ROM for 2 months. Till now, i never faced reboot issue, FCs etc. Fully stable ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] inlin3:
I faced some fc's and instability at the beginning with v2.0 and 2.1. Now with 2.2 everything is fine. I had to flash rom, play with phone a while, flash rom with agni kernel without wipe. play with phone, flash bloat, flash s5 laucher and its finally flying!
[Galaxy S III General] Vishnu pv:
How did you flash Agni kernel? I flashed it, but in about phone, it shows Stock kernel..
[Galaxy S III General] inlin3:
So i just drafted this step by step, of what i did Its a bit dodgy but all i can do at the moment

1- wipe all data in philz cwm recovery

2- install qaraqumus rom in cwm- with wipe, and stock kernel in aroma

3- Play with phone, open apps (camera), configure google accounts etc... make sure everything works, just don't bloat it with apps yet.

4- Installed qaraqumus rom again, this time don't wipe, select Agni kernel.

5- Play with apps, some will freeze/FC, no problem go to them in app manager and clear cache/data, and reboot, all should work fine.

6- Install bloat pack.

7- Play with apps, some will freeze/FC, no problem! go to them in app manager and clear cache/data, and reboot, all should work fine.

7- install S5 laucher.

8- Play with apps, some will freeze/FC, no problem! go to them in app manager and clear cache/data, and reboot, all should work fine.

9- Make sure you have SuperSu, Mine disappeared after step 4. If you do and it works fine, jump to step 16; If its gone or not working keep reading;

10- Go to Philz CWM recovery, and re-root device;

11- In phone go to playstore and download/install SuperSu (chainfire)

12- reboot

13- open supersu it may ask to update binaries, if so choose CWM/TWR, phone will reboot in recovery an autoflash root update.

14- reboot

15- open supersu, see if no error message appears, then test supersu (i just went to agni control, and waited for root access box to show up... mine took a while to show but did so at the third attempt, granted control and super su is working fine)

16- Enjoy! (btw try setting "Swapiness" as 60 and "LMK minfree" as Agressive in Agni control, works fine for me)

Note: I had problems in when I choose to restore my google account after flashing this rom. My guess is google account was restoring some sort of data/settings that were destabilizing the rom. Ever since I flashed after wipe and choose to just backup my phone but not restore a previous install everything is fine and trouble free. May also work for you.

Can anyone recommend a custom rom with best battery performance and touchwiz launcher. If I want samsung camera is it necessary to have touchwiz??? If not then which rom is best. I am confused between Slimkat, Ultima Rom, Omni Rom and CWM 10.2/11. More importantly I'm interested in a stable rom with no FC's. Please note I haven't installed any custom rom earlier nor I have rooted phone. Please can anyone guide on using the best custom rom

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Kittinka:
Do anyone knows how to remove root from ROM? I need to do it to be able to use custom kitkat ROM on company SIII.
[Galaxy S III General] inlin3:
Just open supersu and select unroot device
[Galaxy S III General] nipun1188:
Awaiting your response guys
[Galaxy S III General] Maves23:
I don't think thank anybody will tell you that X-Rom is the best. Its a matter of personal like or dislike. Me for myself have tested CM 10/11 and Omni / Carbon. I'm using now Omni Rom.

I use / used Nova Launcher in all my roms. It has a lot of options, fast, less battery drain. (Depends on settings.) I think its normal that if you use Live Desktop / many animations and so on the battery drain is much more then simple Wallpaper and almost no animation. Much better then Touchwiz and Trebuchet (CM).

As camera i use " A better camera". Really nice pics and for free from Play Store.

How to flash a ROM / Recovery / ROOT can be found here in the forum. You need to read a little bit. Don't think that anybody will write you all the steps again. Especially in this thread. :)

So give it a try. Read carefully the Installation threads for the ROM you choosen and if the latest nightly is really much better than older ones. I'd recommend to use stable versions. But on the I9305 there is no stable KK (CM / OMNI ) version. :(
[Galaxy S III General] aaz03:
YES WE HAVE , the most stable/fluid rom i've ever tested is from far ArchiRom 2.5.0

and for "a better camera" i tested it and i get FC when i take a photo with hdr and other modes , help?
[Galaxy S III General] Maves23:
Is the ArchiRom 2.5.0 also for S3 I9305 LTE. Only found for S3 I9300?!?
[Galaxy S III General] aaz03:

[Galaxy S III General] Tigernmas:
Anyone able to get google camera lens blur to work on their KK ROM?
[Galaxy S III General] GrippingSphere:
@ nipun1188:

A good Custom Rom depends on the user. One Rom maybe good for one user but not on another. It depends on what features the user likes.

For most stable Rom without FCs and best battery usage, you have to use the stock Rom.
[Galaxy S III General] NightSky256:
Until we have a 3.0 kernel our phone is just something more than skinned as kk. [emoji27]
[Galaxy S III General] Maves23:
Many thanks man. Maybe i was kind of blind while searching for that. How is the battery drain for this while normal use. WLAN active / a little bit gaming / chatting?

Is AROMA Installer a must for Archi Rom? Isn't TWRP enough to install and get the rom Running? Haven't used it before.

[Galaxy S III General] amit3880:
I must say it depends on user's choice,

but go for Archiport latest beta1 and it is most stable of all other rom.

And all other rom for S3 which has 4.4.2 are alwasy based on Archiport beta1

So far I tried Glamour S5 and Archiport beta1 and go for glamour S5 if you are more into better look and feel but go for archiport if you are more into simplicity and stock s3 look.

[Galaxy S III General] Zavoolon:
I have 4G in the center of the city with 4.3 official firmware and any of available modems. But when I switch to 4.4.4 CM 11 - internet speed slows down to turtle speed. Maybe it depends on my operator frequencies.

You have the gt-i9305 ? Maybe it's a diference of cellphones... I have the gt-i9300

[Galaxy S III General] Unrealwolf:
Looks like that's not going to happen: articles mentioning 4.4 for i9305 quote SFT carrier, but there was nothing about i9305 in initial SFR announcement: http://smartphones.sfr.fr/android/le-galaxy-note-ii-sfr-passe-sous-kitkat/ 4.4 is only for Note.

[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
This is the reason why I won't buy other than nexus devices. These companies make it hard to want a device that won't get any updates after a year and half.

Sammy's new agenda is to make people think they need a s5 now.

My wife a s3 i9305 is running just great. She likes it and doesn't want a new phone but yet the phone is stuck at 4.3

[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
I think that's the thing though, sure us at xda won't be happy with no official 4.4 but for the rest of the world 4.3 probably runs fine for them
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Yes, but they can't have some apps because of that. And other thing, newers versions of android bring new security improvements... So having a phone updated it's the best.
[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
The apps part I'm not sure how many "normal" users care about (think Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Whatsapp etc) :P but yeah true, the security's a big one.
[Galaxy S III General] psychok9:
What applications? I'm security worried, and I don't like this update political, it's highly consumerist and absurd.

The companies should support the security patches for at least 3 years.

Try to install google camera or google launcher in android 4.3 or other before 4.4.4

i think samsung will stop the s3 on 4.3 :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III General] Zavoolon:
I think S3 even with 4.3 works fine. Of Course Samsung newer promised us to provide new updates till our phones die. But a good thing is that we can count on independent communities like Clockwork. Or others. Thats why we like Android more than iOs?
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
I don't think so... I didn't like it. Always without ram and slowness problems...
[Galaxy S III General] Zavoolon:
I dont have any on my 4.3 official. Maybe you need to try just to concentrate on official roms. They work that is for sure. But they don't have may be the same functionality as the new ones. But still you can call and use internet. What else do you need?

[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
4.3 sucks.

Bad RAM,can hold maximum of 4 apps in memory,but 1 still shuts down. Youtube problem. When watching video,press on any volume button,you will see volume rocker popped up,now touch the screen (video) and see that 1 sec lag while rocker is hiding. Rotation animation is also stuttery. When getting a notification and status bar shows that text,it's stuttery too if screen is busy. Example: go to play store,open any app and install it. While it's installing,look at the status bar and see how stuttery the text is.

EDIT: Also,gets unstable (or slow and laggy) after installing something and takes up to 10-15 seconds to settle down.

Now try CM and see if you will face any of these. RAM is excellent,no stutters and etc.

I'm still using 4.3,though. At least because it's official and is stable with good camera. But meh,time will come and I will stop caring about the camera and then I will move to CM godness back again.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
The camera quality stills good. I don't care with that. I prefer so much CM11 and i will install cm12
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
My reason may sound a little stupid,but the most crappy thing for me is low fps when taking photos. I never cared about the quality.

Sure video fps is fine,but that laggy screen when taking photos is exactly what I hate and trying to not see,as my eyes are too lag sensitive.

Btw,I'm opening my camera once a month,but I still prefer it that way,at least having nice camera. When I was on CM (5 months),I never opened the camera once for photo,so I haven't been bothered. Dunno why I started bothering about that now,lol.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Ahaha the camera in cm it's almost like the stock. Maybe lose a bit of quality but well.. It's nice.. The cameta of my last gio was worst xD
[Galaxy S III General] daedric:
No it isn't. Focus is way faster on TW than AOSP... worse. I can tap to focus on TW, then press the button and it takes a foto.

I touch to focus on CM, then i press the button, and it focuses again and bam... the shot is 0.7 seconds late and lost.

Also, TW's camera way smart, one thing it makes is increase brightness to the max. This HELPS A LOT. Panorama is also much better on TW than AOSP (Multi picture a'la iOS instead of draggin, although Google Camera fixed this). HDR is also a nice bonus. I'm not going to miss that shot of my kid just to be bleeding edge. On the S3, when it comes to camera, Bleeding Edge is Blurry Edge.

TL;DR AOSP/CM camera, both the app and the subsystem are MILES away from AOSP/CM. OEM Skins have been better than stock on this aspect since almost the dawn of Android.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Well i never missed a good picture of my girlfriend with this cam ( i like to take photos of my girlfriend when she is distracted xd) and this cam it's pretty good .
[Galaxy S III General] daedric:
Please understand, if you're happy with the AOSP camera performance, i'm happy for you :D I wish i was also! Maybe it's the i9305 that sucks, don't know.

Also, a girlfriend, or a adult, is not a good target. Try photographing children. Their fast moving pushes ZSL to the limit. Also, compare the sequencial shutter speed from TW against AOSP (on TW, press and hold shutter button, on AOSP press multiple times.)

I think you'll understand what i mean.
[Galaxy S III General] Zavoolon:
Probably I was wrong about CM 11, I try it again, and this time it seems to work fine. I still have troubles with downloading speed in HSDPA regime, but when it switches to LTE, everything works fine. So now I want to make some more test to be sure that its not just because of CM11.

I have similar needs, the camera it's very important for me, and it's really sad that Samsung will not update our smartphones.

I would pay a donation to have some port like Hypermax v9... :(

In the end, the S3 which in theory could not get the update, had it thanks to the porting ... The S3 with 2GB of ram that could have him officially, perhaps he will not even unofficial.

Have you tried custom camera applications like "A better camera"?

(I hope that my english isn't too bad)
