With the eventual release of Grand 2 sometime soon, I don't think Samsung will deliver 4.4 on our device.
And the devs has not yet managed to stabilize CM 10.2, let alone CM 11. It might take months from now, be patient.
If you can't, you probably should've bought a Nexus device.

It's not about which device get released first, but it's about its market target and the product line it is included in. S and Note lines get the updates first because those are Samsung flagships and they're released worldwide. Grand is a midrange device and is specifically targeted where dual sim demand is high (India, China, SE Asia, etc) not the U.S. and Europe. That's why Grand doesn't get the attention they get, and our forums is placed in "Legacy & Low Activity Devices" section.

True yet we got 4.2.2 official before note 2 or s series got 4.3,,though being a mid range device it mde a lot of sales records here in india overall i agree with you note and s series are the flagships even phones like grand and mega should also be included with regard to the updates thats ma own opinion because as google doesn’t discriminate in the same way Samsung shouldn't and i also read smewr bout grand to end its update cycle to 4.2.2 hopefully that must be false if thrs sme base far 4.3 cm 11 can be developed!!!

I think TouchWiz is to blame for the lack of updates to midrange devices... It takes simply too much time and resources for Samsung to make Touchwiz work on newer Android versions and they see it not worth the time and money to update midranges.
The day Samsung decides to stop updating our device is the day we rely to rom devs. The beauty of Android. :good:

No chance of official 4.4, even if Samsung decides to give us 4.4 it will not be before the next android version. Legacy and low level device doesnt mean we can't have a stable cm11 or cm10.2. We have the developers working on 10.2 and I would applaud their efforts for fixing almost everything. For now our device is dependent on pawitp and lets hope he removes some time for fixing RIL of cm 10.2. Once 10.2 is sorted we can have a cm11 compiled by k2wl. One thing I have noticed is that cm10.2 is running into the same problems as 10.1. Like ril and microphone. I'm guessing cm10.2 devs have had a look at pawitp's patches for the respective problems. Until then keep you're fingers crossed and don't loose hope.:good:

I think they have already made a look on them because kingbabasula had shared dual sim soutces released on cms github so its pretty close smewr that they hve looked on the patches as slimbean and resurrection remix hve been worked over cyanogenmod 10.1's sources provided by pawitp but you never know lets wait and watch if k2wl replies and i only felt we might get 4.4 because i read google has reportedly said it can work flawlessly even on low end devices wid 2 or 300mb ram capacity because of its sleekness then why not on grand lets just wait i have heck lot of hopes from XENON92 hes my fav developer:beer::thumbup:

Petition for Samsung to release 4.2.2 update OR Exynos 4 Sources

Hello!
I've started the petition "SAMSUNG Galaxy S2 Android 4.2.2 UPDATE (OR) EXYNOS 4 SOURCES: Please release an update to Android 4.2.2 for the Galaxy S2 (OR) Alternatively a release of Exynos 4 Sources will allow developers to take over." and need your help to get it off the ground.
Will you take 30 seconds to sign it right now? Here's the link:
Add " h t t p : / / " and then visit the below link:
Code:
change.org/petitions/samsung-galaxy-s2-android-4-2-2-update-or-exynos-4-sources-please-release-an-update-to-android-4-2-2-for-the-galaxy-s2-or-alternatively-a-release-of-exynos-4-sources-will-allow-developers-to-take-over
Here's why it's important:
The Samsung Galaxy S2 was a great device and has received 2 updates: IceCreamSandwich (4.0 to 4.0.4) and JellyBean (4.1). Samsung halted the JellyBean update at 4.1 and did not proceed to release 4.2 or 4.3. We Samsung Galaxy S2 users want an incremental update to atleast 4.2.2, as the S2 Plus (S2's sister device) has received the update. The S2 Plus is relatively similar to the S2 (except CPU and GPU), so an HDPI screensize is not an excuse for not releasing an update. If Samsung and/or its Developers are not benefitting from the development of an update to the S2, why not release Exynos 4 Sources and allow the third-party developer community to take over?
Please sign this petition if you are interested in seeing some development take place for this magnificent device.
Note:- This Petition applies to the following devices:
Samsung Galaxy S 2 (International) GT-I9100
Samsung Galaxy Note 1 (International) GT-N7000
Thanks!
Ryan Ceferitti

Your initiative its a good start but this doesnt mean that samsung will hear 2-3 voices whispering "update s2" we need a lot of people to sign but even that its probability of update is very low,by low i mean 0.001% , but, if we can try , why not?...anyway s2 is old , thats the true reason why sammy wont update it
I see that it is your first post here , you are a new s2 owner/xda user?

sorry, this might be a bit out of topic,
but I own sgs 2 and i haven't tried the custom rom, although it is already rooted.
the reason i haven't tried it was because in every room especially the new os i.e. 4.2.2 > always has some basic function that doesn't work
such as bluetooth, GPS/Wifi or even restart when changing from landscape to portrait, etc. (CMIIW)
so if the release of the exynos source would ensure full functionality of custom rom then i'll vote on it.
in the mean time is there any other branded phone that offer custom room with working function?

I have been using a custom ever since I got the phone and 4.2.2 and 4.3.1 are perfectly stable for me and has been for awhile now... no such problems as you mentioned.

These threads are just as amusing as the noobs who post 'OMGZ ! Such & such rom is on the S3 I want someone to port it to the S2 now !' threads in Q&A.
Edit - Also, this thread is superfluous given the long running thread re: this issue here (with petitions & other nonsense).

[Q] Why do famous Roms does not support SM-G900h ?

Hello, I used to be a Galaxy S3 owner, on it I had Omega Rom and i used to change my Rom often,
there was not a version problem. today I got Galaxy S5 but i cant find a normal Rom
that supports my device ( SM-G900h ) I watched the threads of AllianceROM , OmegaRom and more.
but they all mention the same "not support g900h"
few questions:
* Is there some information about a future version that will support g900h ?
* Is there a Recommended Room that do support g900h ?
* Why do all the other versions are supported except g900h ?
thank you

Because you have a niche device. The 900H uses an Exynos chipset. But the vast majority of S5's use a different Qualcomm processor. Just by sheer numbers one would expect the Qualcomm models to be better supported.
And even if you have a ROM developer who was willing to take on the work of having to develop and support two substantially different ROM builds, he more than likely owns a Qualcomm model. Not an incompatible 900H. It wouldn't make sense to develop a ROM for a phone that you don't own - it would be exponentially harder.
ROMs that support the 900H probably reflect Devs that happen to own a 900H. If you want to buy 900H phones for famous Dev's as you put it, I imagine that more of them would release for Exynos.

[Q] Port Roms to Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Anyone?

We greatly lack dev for this device There are some but They have work on other device too its been over half a year since this device came out but still look still no No Working roms i wont blame the devs for this but its over half a year already

I'm very happy with KK, and when the update come, it will come for sure with working cm rom and moded stock.
I really don't understand why people need so desperately a rom when the stock one is working great(well for me it does) and the update is really close.
The only thing I'm missing is cm themes and layers.

Yeah am also not asking for any custom rom i just want some dev to port a grand prime lollipop stock rom to our grand prime.
I bought this grand prime two months ago happily but now when i look what phones are available now on same range then i get annoyed!! Irritated
Just check J5
What a phone n look at our phone
I really hate samsung for this now
I will save money and definately buy a iPhone 6
Rather buying s6
**** u samsung!!

Compile an AOSP or CM Kernel, and people will start porting.
If you port a ROM, you can't boot it using Stock Kernel or the one from the ROM you have ported.
It's not like Mediatek, Rockchip or Allwinner Chips.
Somes interesting devices with same Chipset as G Prime:
- GALAXY A3, A5, E5, E7, GALAXY Core Prime (LTE), GALAXY J1 (LTE), GALAXY J5, GALAXY S4 Mini VE (I9190I), GALAXY Grand MAX === It will be easier to port from these devices.
- Xiaomi Redmi 2 (MIUI)
- Lenovo K3 Note (VibeUI)
- Huawei Ascend G620S (EmotionUI 3.X)
- YU Yuphoria (CyanogenMod 12 out of the box!)
- HTC Desire 510 and 620 (HTC Sense UI)
- Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) (Stock Android Lollipop)
- LG F60, LG Spirit (H440N Version only) (LG UI)
- Oppo Mirror 5 (ColorOS UI)
And much much more...

I started to port Lollipop to Grand Prime even if I don't have it a moment ago.
The latest test version is here: https://mega.nz/#!MQUgXbCb!ULhzY1fnBpXSbA1-3FYNAPozLuAncqmldeol0_YRXUA
THE ROM ISN'T TESTED THAT IS WHY I NEED TESTERS BECAUSE I DON'T OWN THE DEVICE.

I can be a tester! I have SM-G530FZ, rooted, stock kernel

Hi,
You can post that video in this topic.
Yes, I am still active on the S2 i9100 (if you check the link, you'll see that I completed SailfishOs 4.4.0.72 build (the latest so far) in October 2022.
As far as I've seen there is significant difference between the i9100 and i9105/P (Exynos vs Broadcom) so my build surely won't work on the i9505/P.
Because don't have that i9505, I cannot build sfos for it. Sorry.
