Hey guys
So Google will be releasing their own version of the Galaxy S4 ("Clean" Version) pretty soon.
Will we be getting the chance to install this ROM over our current phones? (i9505 + i9500)
Or is it just for people who bought this specific phone?
Thank you,
Omga4000

Looks like we will be getting this clean ROM after all!! Yay!!
Most likely yes. Devs should be able to port it over. However it looks like many of the sensors won't work. Ie infrared

I think the i9500 will be left out.

If somehow, CM10.1 arrived at i9500 variant then google AOSP may be come over 9500.

Because the Google edition will be the I9505G, i.e. using the Qualcomm SoC.

With regards to aosp roms, the i9500 is doomed, my friend. Doomed. Anyone compiling aosp for i9500 is wasting their time because exynos 5410 is even worse than 44xx.
So the joke's on you for not buying the qcomm version.

I don't see the joke here..
In what way is it my fault I live in Europe
and Samsung decided to market the OCTA version here?
Anyway - yesterday Samsung began releasing the open source code
for the i9500, so future may be brighter than you think

I live in Europe as well but luckily they chose to market the LTE variant here. You could have imported an i9505, though.
Look, what they release on arndale has nothing to do with what they have in their phones. If I'm wrong on that, I'd request an insight from @Entropy512 because he knows a lot about this stuff.
I would like a better insight as well.

Remember, this is a stock Android UI - so far, nothing more (such as AOSP support) has been announced, and I suspect it's unlikely. So it actually will be of zero benefit for AOSP bringups like CM.
As far as porting it just like porting a TW firmware between Qcom devices? Maybe, I don't know how successful people have been in doing such a thing. (e.g. if they've got it as automated as I did with Hellraiser on the I777).
Since I9500 is Exynos, the Google Edition is of zero use for that device.
As I said long ago when the Google Edition was first announced:
If it's not AOSP supported, it basically means nothing
If it's AOSP supported and qcom, it's nice but not a huge benefit since CAF is already quite good
If it's AOSP supported and Exynos, that's a game changer and would be what would cause me to consider Samsung again. But we know for certain it's not Exynos, and it's highly unlikely it'll be AOSP supported - Samsung's underlying base software is too Samsunged (hacked up) in the non-GE GS4s for them to have AOSP support any time soon. The Google Edition is just covering up their crappy underlying software with a less sucky UI as far as I can tell. We'll know for sure when the device is released.

They won't be able to include Samsung drivers into the device. If you use a non stock rom now watch on won't work because it doesn't know where to find the infrared.
I hope that Google does it right and gets the sensors to work but at this point it doesn't seem like they will. Maybe Samsung will release the drivers someday

Seriously starting to doubt it.
I'm actually thinking of selling my device and getting the snapdragon variant.
I heard there's going to be a version with the snapdragon 800 + LTE
so I might wait for that and replace my phone.
So sad

IF samsung decides to give us the 4.4 update. sure, it can run on devices with 512mb of ram, but the question is not whether google will enable it because it was already answered and it is possible, but the question is whether samsung will develop it for devices such as our grand.

Samsung won't release 4.4 on our Grand ...
I think Samsung may launch Grand II on 4.3 or kitkat ...
I heard a rumour about this ...
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I also think getting offical 4.3 or 4.4 is quite unrealistic however we might get it unofficially as even low spec device like motorala defy got it unfocially
very disappointing how OEMs seem to just "neglect" their old devices, but, i guess that is just how business goes. :crying:
Ther is still a 10 % CHANCE THAT SAMSUNG MAY RELEASE KITKAT FOR OUR DEVICES.....OTHERWISE WE HV GR8 DEVS WHO WILL BUILD KITKAT WITH DUAL -SIM SUPPORT
Yes.. Even I've heard about grand 2 release
Sent from my GT-I9082 using xda app-developers app
Guys hope for the best always my friend is in Samsung and he says hes a manager actually he says it might get but grand 2 is real and afaik 4.4 grand accordin to me made mre sales here in mysore than note series or S series so lets wait fingers crossed:thumbup:

We could petition, like they did with Galaxy Nexus....
According to the source, Samsung is thinking of bringing Android 4.4 KitKat to its several mid-end devices. The list includes the Galaxy S4 mini, Galaxy S3 mini, Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy Ace 3, Galaxy Core, Galaxy Fame, Galaxy Ace 2, and the Galaxy Fresh -likely there are other devices else but not captured in the picture. We don't know if it's real or not. We can just hope that Samsung will bring the new life to them, and of course our Galaxy S3 Mani.

agreed.
Hopefully we get 4.2 i dont really think we gonna get kitkat, maybe just the chocolat but no the OS.
cm 11 suits your need. it's great you have kitkat before it's officially released
Why talk about rumours about kitkat cm11 is here and stable already, it aint no rumour either

The device was announced & released on May 2012, how is it two years old already? 1.5 years.
Samsung usually push 2 updates to their phones we got these updates so it would be a miricle to get kikkat from samsung

excactly my thought
iphone 4s gets the newest ios form apple and why sould the s3 dont get kitkat? kitkat was made for lower devices and s3 is quad core or am i a noob and the s3 is now a low device
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
everything is possible with CyanogenMod
It will surely get kitkat. Why it wouldn't? 4 months are ahead,so it will be shocking if Samsung won't do anything in these months.
S4 and Note 3 will get their Kit Kat and then it will come to S3 and Note 2 devices,I'm 100% sure.
S3 & Note 2 will get the KitKat bar !! In 1 or 2 months S4 and note 3 will get kitkat (stock roms have already leaked ) ..the in 3 or 4 months S3 will get kit kat ....dont 4get the great and mighty S2 which got a lot of updates and compared to S2 , S3 users are more !!

4.4 update has been released for note 3
next device getting it will be S4
and as of S3 ,it will be surely getting 4.4 but it may cross the estimated time of april

Btw,don't expect lower RAM usage. That will be optimized for low-end devices,but not for us.

Hi, there is already a quites stable beta version of SLIM-KAT available for the GT-i9300.
It is based on AOSP 4.4.2 and more information you can find on the XDA-forum "[ROM] [4.4.2] SlimKat i9300 [beta Weeklies]" and their website "slimroms.net".
S3 is the father of mobile . its better than i9500 - and yes with cm you will always be updated and better than stock one.
I am on 4.4.2 and ART its fabulous fast with 1.6 Ghz

I don't find any reason why s3 won't get 4.4 update

Hey
It WILL come, don't worry
As you probably know, the Korean version already has it. I think the problem is that Samsung just have to many models to update and therefore it has been delayed.

It is planned by Samsung or at least that is what Vodafone Spain said on its forum.
They suck at updates really. They think this device is a mistake.
Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk
Because I9506 is direct competitor to S5, Samsung will postpone update as long as it possible. I think there is a maximum time between Google releases new Android version and already-released phone receive this update. Be sure, I9506 will receive it in the last days of this time-frame.
E330S was the first S4 model received KK officially, so there is no other reason why I9506 wouldn't receive it at the same day since hardware is the same.

4.4.3 will be coming for the i9506
