Glad my personal phone is a Nexus 5 but my work phone is a I9305..... Wish I could have all the lollipop goodness on my work phone :(
[Galaxy S III General] aepkyo:
It's gonna be great if our s3 can get the 5.0 Lollipop upgrades. Can't wait to feel the smoothness of lollipop on s3 :D
[Galaxy S III General] Schmafutsche:
I think it'll get lollipop very soon, because it's still a very popular device. :)
[Galaxy S III General] claptraw:
S3 is indeed one of the most popular devices in the custom rom scene. Yesterday the final code was published, Cyanogenmod takes about 8-10 weeks for a brand new release. Therefore I expect Lollipop for our phone within December or January.
[Galaxy S III General] developer209:
All devices with at least 512 mb of ram can handle lollipop. Samsung devices nearly always have a strong support from developers so no need to fear I bet some Roms will be popping up in the next weeks.

The source code to Lollipop is now being uploaded. You can get it here:

[Galaxy S III General] Minto107:
Yup you're right. I remember that S3 hasn't got 4.2 update officially and kitkat was In work and they just decided not to release it. On some page from 18th October I read that Samsung officially launched KK update for International S3 but on sammobile.com there isn't available. Recently I've updated my Tab 3 7.0 3G to KitKat (official base) and it runs on 1GB so it's still possible to get L
[Galaxy S III General] k-semler:
Well, it's been brought over to the S5,, so I think the devs here will be porting it over to the i9300, even if Samsung doesn't do an official build. Since the source got released yesterday, AOSP versions should be coming soon.
[Galaxy S III General] DonEmu:
Samsung will not do an official build. The reason KitKat isn't in this device is because the touchwiz bloat could not fit onto the phone. Plus this phone is way past the 18month update period.

There will obviously be custom roms built.
[Galaxy S III General] Derpoholic:
Well, I'm pretty sure that a 5.0 Lollipop based rom will be available within 2 months.

The problem though is that in order for people to make roms optimized for the galaxy s3 (like for instance Archidroid) they need to use some kind of base - this mostly is cyanogenmod which furthermore is based on aosp.

My guess is that there will be no roms until some more stable versions of cyanogenmod is available
[Galaxy S III General] Lukijs:
JustArchi and arter97 are already working on Lollipop, I am 100% it will come a-----lot faster

actually in theyr G+ page at some comment they said they're dropping i9300 because there are no maintainer for it

Andrew Dodd2014. gada 5. nov.

Nope. I9300 hasn't had an active maintainer in over six months, there has not been anyone to address bug reports.

As a result, it's getting dropped with L. Possibly plodey might spend some time on a proof of concept bringup, but without an active maintainer, no nightlies.﻿

[Galaxy S III General] Justin Thought:
I'm not sure what you mean by KitKat being cancelled--there are thirty or forty KitKat ROMs at varying levels of excellence on this board for our I9300. If you're looking for an OEM version KitKat or Lollipop, you're whistling in the wind. Like any large corporation, they'd prefer that you upgrade your (perfectly good) hardware to something newer in order to obtain the latest software. Thanks to XDA and many dedicated developers, that's pretty much a dead issue.
[Galaxy S III General] Occasus:
True. Maybe I didn't clarify myself. I've meant official upgrades to KK for the International S3 by Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] Code124Y:
**Note: below whatever i write is just purely base on my own opinion.

there are clearly that no more arguments or rumor for it. The answer is, you wont find any official KK/Lollipop ROM update for our International S3. there is few reason for it.

1.) Hardware limitation-

Yes, we have 1.4Ghz quad core processor vs Lollipop requested for 1.0Ghz single core.

But, we have limited RAM on it, 1Ghz vs Lollipop ask for 512MB RAM...

ya i know you might think im talking nonsense but let me clarified some for you, Samsung phone always build devices base on android but heavy TW themed. Also preloaded a lot S series apps on it. those preloaded apps make our S3 unable to fit with just a gig of RAM.
[Galaxy S III General] adilfarazaky:
Agreed..!! Some application from Samsung are ram eater..
[Galaxy S III General] Code124Y:
(sorry for off topic, but i hope this may help others who use temasek ROM, just a small review to S3 user)

Also... side note for those who looking for good ROM, im currently using MAHDI (omni) as link shown...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2920096

[ROM][i9300][UNOFFICIAL][MAHDI][FINAL VERSION ]

im heavy user who want smooth/nice fps on animation, fast response vs opening apps delay, beautiful/nice RAM management ROM, i will suggest this ROM with Boeffla omni kernel(personally force 4 core running whn screen on, min on 500mhz ～ 1600mhz). Forcing myself running ART for preparation on Lollipop(not exposed friendly).

i have back my 3month old perfect reading...

my best record until now is

1.)

smooth on changing app/switching app/multitasking between app.

(what i mean smooth is almost zero macro lag appear, we cant expect S3 running as smooth as nexus devices, but it can be as close as it be, so far there is non ROM let S3 running zero lag, but this ROM giving me minimal lag as i test out, even a 100ms micro lag also assume a lag, this is what i found on temasek cm11 v114 ROM).

2.)

Best RAM management, this should be combo with boeffla omni kernel V2.4Beta7 paid version.

(Actually a gig of RAM is very limited these day... especially only 831MB available... ROM bootup, Gapps running background* im in sync with 3gmail, social chat** how much RAM would it be left after this? yes, greenify can help us solve most problem too. So if RAM management is not nice, you will have lag flying over your screen and important social apps closed* this would be horrible, terrible and vegetable).

3.)

screen on time, wakelock and deep sleep!

(this is usually most important to every smartphone user, im not a heavy gamer, but i do game sometimes, but to be fair, i try not play games for 1 cycle charge, i screen on for xda, browsing chrome, Twitter, social chat... and so on, what i manage to get is... over 20H discharge, 3Hours screen on at least, this is surely base on many thing, i got 3 google on sync, leaving in malaysia which is not a very good signal i got and bla bla bla. In short, i got over 3Hours nearly 4hours screen on in a day on a single charge, no gaming! But i manage to play 2 hours on summoner wars, phone will heat up a bit in the end 58C on hand, below 65C in pocket...)

4.)

On Board build with a lot any other cm/omni/slim/PA feature. Good enough to use without exposed enable.

suggested to International S3 user for real.

[Galaxy S III General] Justin Thought:
I kind of thought that was what you meant. Unfortunately, the corporate mentality would much prefer to suck as many of our hard-earned bucks (in whatever form they take for the multitude of members here on XDA--dollars, pounds, drachma, yen, _________ fill in the blank) as they can, and in fact that's the corporate charter.

The developer of my preferred ROM is promising a final upgrade to his Slim-based KitKat version, and after that he's planning to start working on a Lollipop version, so we users of the "older" (better?!?) equipment won't be left flapping in the breeze. From what I see, though, it'll be awhile before we see it--Lollipop is still pretty crude even in the OEM version, and he has a great record of not turning out problematic work. I have a feeling I'm going to be very blue in the face from holding my breath in anticipation!
[Galaxy S III General] imhampe:

Because perhaps I can get an old s3 with a broken screen from a friend. And if you say that cm12 is running great I will buy an replacement screen and put my ace 2 (756mb ram, 1,2ghz dualcore) on the side and come over to the s3 community. :D

[Galaxy S III General] flynn1411:
Well, nobody never thought that it could be possible to have a stable 4.4 touchwiz rom for s3. But now we have these roms. So there's a possibility some pretty smart guy can build a stable touchwiz rom for our s3. I have hope on that.
[Galaxy S III General] lil11b:
our galaxy s3 will never get official lollipop. Even if note 2 gets lollipop, the chance that one will port the whole rom to the s3 isnt that big.

Another question: Why do you want a lollipop rom with touchwiz, which just slows down the device because the lack of ram, instead of using the very stable lollipop cm12 release? Samsung thinks that the s3 has not enough ram to run kitkat, but by looking at cm11, everyone can see that our device can not handle the touchwiz ui. How can it handle the even more overloaded touchwiz ported from the note 2 with lollipop?
[Galaxy S III General] Costin Ramon:
Because Touch-wiz makes that rom be interesting ? The interface and the futures are in our interest , not just for saying at about device : 5.0 Lollipop , for the new lock at dialer , messages, and all what 5.0 official samsung can offer , AOSP is not for us .. yes it is fast but .. i wanna have a samsung android not a HTC !
[Galaxy S III General] lil11b:
I know that our s3 has much potential in terms of performance, but you can't take a bike to pull your car up to the hill can you? A full port of a ROM is nearly impossible, since samsung uses closed sources. The s3 does not even have the performance needed to run KitKat with touchwiz. And with touchwiz I mean the old touchwiz like the s4 still has, not the new ui and many functions and apps like samsung Knox. I know that companies often exaggerate a bit, but you have to face the reality. You can clearly see that the ui of the s5 is more overloaded with more functions apps and services. Android lollipop can't equalize that needs of performance although pure android 5 only takes up less resources.

Sometimes there is a limit and I think that the touchwiz ui has reached it.

Btw even aosp android lollipop for our device could be better, since we are still using the "old" kernel version 3.0 by upstreaming it
[Galaxy S III General] Costin Ramon:
Not the Full Entire Rom , Just the base . Let's admit that we are not using the samsung app's like Chat-On , Hangout's or other things . The base rom with Play Store , Samsung Apps ( apk ) Maximum of 20 App's . I Think he can hundle that
[Galaxy S III General] possossod:
All i would like to see was a rom with mhl support, and only the ones that are samsung based do that so I hope it's released at least for a similar device so it can be ported to the i9300.
[Galaxy S III General] Zavoolon:
Don't be so sceptical. Be positive. I have already 5.02 on my I9305. Unofficial of course, but my i9000 has also a 4.4 from CM only. So we just need to wait for a stable version.

Hi all you wonderful people :)

I am a flasher!

I cant help myself, each time a new Roms shows up I HAVE to have it!

So after loading 3 Roms in the last week and setting each one up just the way I like it I started thinking, There must be an easier way to install all my apps. I have them all in a folder on my SD but having to tap on each one and then go through the install process is a pain when you have 10 or more apps plus all the registration details that go along with them.

Is there a way to make an auto run installer that will install all the cabs in a folder without prompts? I can use cab manager to edit the location and in some cases the reg info of all the cabs.

Thanks

ExtRom

I think most of the ROM chefs are storing cabs in ExtRom, and then setting up AutoRun.exe to run when you install a new ROM. This way in the Config.txt you can call all the common apps you reinstall all the time.

You would have to unlock the extRom if you want to store stuff in it, be careful not to delete your cellular provider specific files. Also, the space is limited on the extRom as well.

Here's what a typical config.txt can look like:

SHOW:\Extended_ROM\ext_rom_pic.bmp

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\pocketweather2002.armrel.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\BatteryStatus.0.03.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\DeviceLock.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\weather20b1.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Molski.Biz_Performance_Registry_Tweaks.cab

LOCK:Disabled

RST: Reset

Of course, you can always have ActiveSync just reinstall as well. I don't like to keep too much install files on my phone. It just takes up extra space I can use for something else :)

So after the first Hard Reset and running of the Ext_Rom it is gone. Is there a way to stop that CAB from auto deleting. The other manufacturer CAB are okay still. I have WinCE maybe I can change something in that CAB???

Make the CAB Read Only.
