What do you think about the new android version. In my opinion, it's great , with better UI( if the leaked photos are true) , less RAM usage and new kernel. What do you think about the S2? Will Samsung update our phone ? In my opinion Samsung will not update the S2 or the Galaxy Ace or Mini...

No they will not update our phone. And im also not too sure about new kernel. We do have dorimanx kernel which is light years ahead of most kernels... We have 3.12.rc1 while the Nexus have 3.4?
I don't thing Samsung will just think about updating the S2
It's an old device, it still an amazing device though
But updating it will not benefit Samsung
So no updates
But we still have AOSP

Huh I find no issue with 4.2.2, its the best thing yet! We have spent so much time optimzing 4.2.2 that it is so stable and usable. Fast forward to 4.3 which is much newer we have spent much less time on it so for sure it is not as good. However I dont understand which part of either these versions, 4.2.2 or 4.3 is bloated care explaining? Even if Android 4.4 has so called less RAM usage and kernel improvements it would not really matter to us. Take kernel changes for example. We can't just port AOSP code and use it for our devices correct? Remember the time when we only had official 4.0 and 4.1 was released by Google. Everybody wanted Project butter. Due to Sammy not giving us official 4.1 and its source code on time (thank god they actually gave the source code..) we would never have gotten close to full project butter experience which we still lack fully. So if Sammy does not give us what we need then we can use 4.4 without its so called perks like "less RAM usage"
Yeah 4.4 should have lower hardware requirements. However, it doesn't matter because our exynos device still lacks proper drivers. That's worsen by the fact that we currently have no Galaxy S2 devs left working on CM to port new android versions to our device

I guess so.
coz all the GUI is taken care by the GPU.
and making it to do multiwindow will increase stress on it.
even adreno 205 scores better than SGX540.
may be we need to overclock our gpu for a decent performance.

Samsung may include a premium update with these features along or after the 4.1.2 or 4.2.x update. I'm waiting for the similar update on the s3 mini, but knowing Samsung this will take a while with the release of s4.
A large part of these "premium" features that the s2 got along with the 4.1.2 update could work on other Samsung devices like smart stay or smart rotate that are very useful on a tablet that can be used for reading ebooks. All we can do for now is wait.

That's a really old release of 4.1.2. There are loads of 4.1.2 updates since then. That will be what you are getting prompted for. You're 6 months out of date.
I've been wondering when were they thinking about releasing this since the leak has been around since february (i think) and the S4 has been released already. But to be honest, I couldn't care less about those "features" for an update, all i want is multitasking fixed. Which i'm fairly sure we won't get. Samsung should stick with fixing the basics instead or pushing out mostly useless crap. Guess i'll stick with aosp and just get a nexus at some point...

That's not really the point.
Your point was Kies tells you there is an update and that it must be 4.2
My point is you are on a 6 month old release. Any update Kies tells you available is not 4.2. It is one of the 30 4.1.2 releases newer than yours.

I did think about that since i read somewhere about the extra sensors involved, i just thought they'd adapt or disable functions that really required them or at least do it in a different way that wouldn't need said sensors - there's software to mesure heart rate with the camera, which isn't the most conventional way and, to be honest, if someone told me before that was possible i'd most likely dismiss it as a prank app/gimmick, but i did see it roughly working

Indeed. But given that it generally happens to Nexus devices, there is no reason to believe this won't happen to the Nexus edition of the S4 eventually. The binaries for the Nexus 4 were released in March for example and it now has full AOSP support.

I would hope, seeing that this was announced at Google io, and it will get regular updates just like nexus devices, Google is going to be in charge of software for this endeavor.

Do they? How much of the device is actually Samsung hardware that requires Samsung drivers? It's a Qualcomm device. Other than drivers for the bespoke Samsung features like Air View/Gesture and Smart Scroll etc (which Google won't be using anyway) I can't think of anything Google need off Samsung. This is exactly why making AOKP and CM roms has been so easy for the device. The first guy who created a CM rom did it without even owning one .

your device is exynos based, and thus closed source
you will not ever ever find an official release for this device (unless by some magic samsung releases the code)
Really?
Is this the only galaxy device that is closed source or there are others like the gs 4 which samsung didnt released the code for them?

The code is in a rough state now as development recently started.
Please see the below link for updates...

They were able to utiliz the the octa core cpu as intended by samsung? Pretty groundbreaking if so.
I was under the impression that the cm for 9500 was using very generic drivers for the cpu
Thus making it very poorly optimized
But yeah it boots just fine

Yea thanks to some hard work from 3 main guys they got around Samsung..
I've been running slim ROM for the past 24 hours and despite it being the 2nd alpha it blows TW out the water..

Duh, it is only the 2nd alpha, hence I mentioned it in my post... It will be a couple weeks before everything gets ironed out but considering the first CM was released on Monday and the only major glitch 4 days later is the cam I'd say they did a pretty good job...
But don't take my word for it. Good look at the bench marks.....

Its true lol. They were all happy cuz they said i9500 would never see aosp and here it is. Yes it took long (what a month or two?) Gave me some time to get bored on stock TW lol

The funny part was you thinking an incomplete rom without camera blows TW out the water.
It's a ridiculous statement.
It's just like me saying my porshe without engine is better than your working Volvo.
I just said it was funny. No need to get defensive
Not all i9505 owners boast about having better open source support etc. I for one am still running stock firmware and I'm happy enough, and will remain so until 4.3 is released. I don't think it is necessary to split the camp between i9500 and i9505, and certainly no need to have childish squabbles.

Exactly. Thanks. Didn't even know the 9500 ppl where so darn defensive.
but how do you explain the fact that no matter what device i use it willl always get a lower score on cm then on the official samsung rom?

I jumped over to get.cm and i couldn't find cyanogenmod for my device.
Can someone please tell me the codename i need to look for?

I think i9500 still wasn't given a codename because there isn't even a cyanogenmod nightly for it. When it happens, it will be given a codename.
