[Galaxy Note II General] librapt:
killerfrank, I was thinking about a sort of value pack update like they did for Galaxy S with 4.0 ... I am very STRONGLY hoping, that Samsung will never do this again, cause that was truly a disaster. I admit, it was good for the devs, because they had something to work with, but as far as for the everyday user... Well, disaster, as I said earlier...

After reading today's news about the planned update for our Note II, I am convinced we will get the update. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] LoVeRice:
Why whats the story with that value pack?
[Galaxy Note II General] librapt:
When Samsung announced the official list of 4.0 updates, Galaxy S was not included. People were furious, and Galaxy S owners demanded an update for their phones. Thus Samsung gave out a "Value Pack" update, was actually still 2.3.6, but it contained SOME features of the 4.0 system. Needless to say, this was purely a publicity stunt from Samsung... So now I guess I'm hoping they won't make this mistake again. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] resudo:
Good news.

[Galaxy Note II General] killerfrank:
Really a good new. Compared to last news on update, seems 5.0 is really coming soon.

Seems samsung is focusing on note2 during recent weeks.

Imo there is not such thing as leaked firmware or leaked song,its all done intentionally.

Yes it is done intentionally. Since it is not a full release they call it as leaked firmware

Hello

One of my friends tell that his note ii notified the 5.0.2 update

aproximatly 400 Mb
[Galaxy Note II General] resudo:
WHAT

Are you sure its the lollipop update and not some minor update?
[Galaxy Note II General] vadim6385:
An update for an AOSP rom takes 400-500mb. At least, that's what I got on my other phones, Moto G GPe and THL T6s (cheap Chinese phones tend to run stock Android with very little or no customisations).

In Samsung's case, it will probably take gig point something, with touchwiz and everything. Are you sure your friend isn't just running some custom ROM? Some of them have OTA updates, too (like CM).
[Galaxy Note II General] resudo:
The Note 3 was right below 1GB regarding the lollipop update. Still I don't think this info is correct, makes no sense whatsoever.
[Galaxy Note II General] ndasarathy:
Yes. It will be below 1gb but above 400 mb. I'm pretty sure it's not official update.

[Galaxy Note II General] ndasarathy:
I think the same three Ireland confirmed lollipop for N2 sometime ago
[Galaxy Note II General] cpm:
AFAIK Three Ireland don't exactly have a great record at passing on manufacturer updates to their locked handsets. So a "no" from them doesn't necessarily mean that an update won't be released from Samsung.

Also the Three staff member states that the Note 2 won't be getting 5.0, which is probably correct.

Wouldn't we be getting a more stable version like 5.1 or later? Their statement would carry more weight if they had said that it wouldn't be getting Lollypop.
[Galaxy Note II General] developer000:
I hope there is Lolipop for the Legendary Galaxy note II. Im still waiting. :angel::angel::angel:

[Galaxy Note II General] skyler13:
yeah but remember, Samsung decides to put a load of crapware into the rom which use a lot of the ram so 1GB ram is not gonna cut it, unless samsung decides to make it more sleek and have less bloatware i cannot see it being done for the s3
[Galaxy Note II General] vagsvag:
I hope to get all of you the update that you want so much, but my opinion is different, i think official updates finished for this phone.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] ndasarathy:
Be positive. About 2 to 3 pages if you go back you can see lollipop for this phone is in testing phase. You know s3 has less powerful processor, less ram. Also note 2 is getting many leaked news and images like the one or two posted in this thread. Don't loose hope. I think it's not the samsung like it was before.
[Galaxy Note II General] vagsvag:
The processor is exactly the same, the difference is in n7100 is overclocked at 1600, emmc the same ram is different and to be positive for what? I am not giving a sh@t if it takes official update or not. I use cm lollipop light and fast and I am OK official 4 me with it's all crapware is only 4 the warranty which is finished time now.

Anyway I hope to take your update and all to be happy :)

You can use gmd s pen control with cm for having functionality at pen, also and sketchbook, papyrus etc in the place of s note. Cm is light, smooth, clean, faster than Sammy and don't spy you instead of tw which is heavy full of crap with not smoothness and every move u do is informing Samsung. With the excuse of backup knows everything of you. A firmware of Sammy is 1.9 gb uncompressed and a cm is 0.22 the system and 0.09 - 0.23 the Google Apps and 0.004 the modem, 0.5gb totally at it's maximum, what are all the rest 1.4 gb at Samsung?

Have you even tried lollipop touchwiz? Because I have tried it (note 3, note 4 and s5) and its a lot better than CM. Same smooth experience (if not better) and a lot more features. Ram management is much better than touchwiz KitKat too. I don't understand why you would want to use CM any longer after trying it. Stock android keeps getting more and more boring while with touchwiz you can fully take advantage of the S-Pen and the big screen. You ARE NOT obliged to make a backup either. The rest 1.4gb is all features that the boring stock android doesnt have.

Of course I wouldn't be using the Note 2 if I HAD those phones. Unfortunately I don't. My friends do though. My best friend actually just bought a Note 4 so I have spent the most time with lollipop touch wiz on that phone. My other friend has an s5 since the time it was released. I have been playing with lollipop on his phone for the last three months. Regarding the note 3, my uncle has it (I suggested it to him) and each time I visit him I use it as well. Do you know for how long touchwiz lollipop is out on these phones? Long enough for me to develop my opinion on the OS. Anyway you seem like you are against Samsung for some reason, loving stock android for no reason in my opinion. It's your opinion though, I can't do much to change it.

[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
Just want to say, as owner of Note I, Note II LTE, Tab 2 7" wi-fi that I really understand why people don't like older versions of Touchwiz or Touchwiz on lower end devices. But TW KitKat on Note II is really slick, hugely capable, has great performance and is rock solid. Don't like TW UI? Just run Nova launcher or similar and root the device and disable any stuff that offends. Who cares about 200MB storage when you have microSD slot?

I'm hoping to see official LP from Samsung because so far Samsung TW beats all the KK & LP ROMS so easily that it looks like victimisation.
