[Galaxy S III General] Kapiljhajhria:
I was thinking about this myself. Was searching for hardware similarities between note 2 and S3. Both are almost identical. I was thinking of asking some note2 deveooper if it would pe possible to port stock kitkat on our S3. And now we finally have something that looks promising.

I hope we get 100% working ROM and that it should puts SAMSUNG to shame.

Denying a perfectly capable device...KitKat update .....which offcourse is a strategy so that users of S3 would switch to S5.

One newbie question about a project:

Thas this meen that my I9300 with your ROM will became LTE(4g) so

I9305 ?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III General] omek07:
Ooooooo Ok thank you very much
[Galaxy S III General] Mr Woolf:

[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Sure, just as well as you can download more ram.

Of course this doesn't turn your phone into the 4G version. Lol.

[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
Yeah I'm going to wipe my phone and flash a new one to check one thing, then have to go back again.

It wasn't a request it was a question.

A request would be

"OMG MHL DOESN'T WORK, CAN YOU FIX IT".

Just asking if something will/does work is not a request.

What about sensors?
[Galaxy S III General] XeLLaR*:
700mb seems about right. Maybe some apps werent running on his port. You're right.

700mb is not much better than JB 4.3. The LMK values have to be adjusted for 1GB ram. Just take the ones from CM or Stockrom.

Here are the values from Stock JB 4.3

[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
So, first is 99% done, just a few kernel tweaks and that's it.

Now it's not 99% because baseband is not working, camera and gallery has problems, etc.

They shouldn't though, if you look at their TV's (and Sony Bravia) they all use AOSP and BSB components in their builds, you can see them all listed in their open sources section. I think if they can borrow so much to put in high price TV sets, then it should flow the other way.

Even more funny on the Bravia sets, as when you go to open sources you are greet with a android ICS CM system updating screen :) :p

[Galaxy S III General] malachow:
It was a direct link to vote for official Archi's port thread. The main purpose was to notify XDA portal's maintainors about this amazing project so they can hear us & write about it. And we succeeded! Just check update 4 for link to article. :)

Yeah, I'm still impressed by the work this team achieved.

The only thing, apart from lack of stable version ofc, which still remains undone is making [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] a "Recognized Developer". He just deserves it.

If anyone here can inform some XDA admins & convince them it would be more than awesome. ;)

Cheers & stay tuned.
[Galaxy S III General] Kapiljhajhria:
I tipped GSMarena ,sammobile and xda portal about this. And i also mentioned the whole story but their article was still not accurate. (Xda portal updated it afterwards but i am not satisfied with gsamarena and sammobile )

And for justarchi becoming recognized developer i think anyone can fill out the form on his behalf(thats the case in atleast some of the titles, i am guessing we can do it for recognized deveopers as well). Admins will then take a look and change his title. I was thinking of doing it yesterday but some work came up. Will look for the form and fill it up today as soon as i am free.

They all are still saying that samsung features are being removed. But that's not the case. I hope that someone gets it right.

If developers wanted to do that then we already have kitkat for i9300. (CM, SLIMKAT, AOSP, etc)

It makes me wonder how many articles i read on these sites and believed them to be true,......which could infact be false or filled with half information.
[Galaxy S III General] omek07:
Mate i think that you are wrong

Devs are trying to port the kitkat from samsung. no one said that when they finish the port theey wont put the samsung programs and features....

Go and flash the preview port and see the deferences. We have radio and the camera from samsung..........

And in the other hand no one force you to flash the rom orrrrrrrrrr expect anything for the devs
[Galaxy S III General] Kapiljhajhria:

I am saying developers are trying to make this kitkat ROM with toichwiz and all samsung features

[Galaxy S III General] thekrs:
Firstly you need to grab SystemUI.apk in system/priv-app.

Open the apk and navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi.

For the signal bar exchange filenames of stat_sys_signal_0.png with stat_sys_signal_4.png and otherwise.

However, if you don't understand much of this, refrain from trying and always backup a copy of SystemUI before editing.

This is only cosmetic, as it tricks the system into loading different images.

[Galaxy S III General] tintin1503:
Not completely pointless for everyone. I get full bars most of the time and I would like se the full bars always instead of seeing empty. The empty bars aren't making any difference so full bars look better visually. And the process hardly took a minute.

Thanks for sharing this trick meanwhile we step towards a more stable and bug free 4.4.2 rom.
[Galaxy S III General] Spannaa:
You get full bars most of the time on this rom??

I (and I suspect most others too) would rather the bars indicated roughly how strong my signal is rather than just replacing the png with a dummy to make it look better...
[Galaxy S III General] decalman:
Thank you.

Why see empty bars when all you have to do is rename one png or in my case three png, Since I renamed the 4 bar, the 5 bar and the 6 bar just in case I want to change it with wanam.

I also changed the carrier symbol since I was tired of seeing that h and h+. The tmobile s2 and s3 (t999) are not lte but yet they come themed to show a 4g icon when in h or h+. I did something similar but I get 4g for h and 4g lte icon when I get h+. Only cosmetic but I like it.

I'm also getting the persistant signal icon using wanam. I usually walk around with data turned off, this way I know what kind of reception I'm getting without having to turn on the data in case I have to use it.

I also changed out the toggles to get a different look. I'll include a copy of my systemUI in case anybody wants to give it a try. Manually push it to priv_app folder.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/w39x0d13vkf85u8/SystemUI.apk

I'm getting the S5 colors using wanam using color code ff006678. You can click on my sig to see video on how to do it.

I also rather have working bars but in the meantime thats what I do until its fix. You dont have to do it if you dont like it.
