Sometime in Q1/2014. Google changed a lot under the hood in KitKat and Samsung certainly has to rewrite a lot of Touchwiz and S-Pen code to make optimal use of it.
Does anyone know some of the special, or new features kit kat will be coming with?

You're assuming that Google hasn't shared KitKat code with partners before its AOSP debut. Even HTC has said they'll have it out in less than 90 days, which admittedly is Q1 but they tend to be a bit slow. Still, all we're both doing is speculating here, it'll come when it's ready. I would be surprised if it's this month, myself.

Will be next year before Samung releases it, plus theres so many Note 3 models its gona take them ages to get 4.4 out to variants.
Sony updated the Z1 today with 4.4 - only took them a week!

No way within a month! If samsung achieves that I will be very impressed.
But since it took them 6 months for them to get 4.3 onto the S4, I am not going to hold my breath.

Samsung made it perfectly clear they were not going to update the S4 to 4.3 before the first 4.3 device came out, because it would harm sales.
Since the S5 is still only a rumour, that issue is not currently valid.

LOL since S4 is a flagship smartphone Samsung should look after their premium customers not force to buy their lastest handset to get a firmware update. That is so pathetic!
It's thing like this that is making me dislike samsung more and more everyday.

how sad
I don't see why we wouldn't get 5.0. S2 has the same RAM as the S3 and that's getting it, so surely it's capable.

Samsung is saying that Android 5.0 will need higher resolution screens. That's why they are dropping support for various devices, even for Galaxy Grand Duos which just released. It is probably a big fat lie so we can probably expect CM to work on it.

yeah, so where in that link did you actually read that Samsung has announced this? it's not even an official announcement, Samsung didn't even announce this.

Codeworkx already said 4.2.2 will be the last version CM supports.
I don't really care about 4.2, to be honest. Well, don't get me wrong, it's awesome that Samsung updates the S2 to 4.2.2, but that update isn't that interesting from what I've heard.
I'm more interested in proper sources...

I can't see anything interesting going from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. Not bothered at all.
Great news indeed. Lets now wait for official announcement from Samsung themselves.
the guys interested if they want to read the article, here is
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/18...roid-5-0-for-the-galaxy-s-iii-galaxy-note-ii/
i think its good news
I think 4.2.2 is no more needed for GS2…4.1.2 had enough function for us…maybe 4.2.2's only adv is battery saving…
However,sam is good enough for an old model to give so much updates…
sorry for my poor English…
I love how the masochists in this thread announce how they DON'T want or need 4.2.2. The attitudes of some people ...
Going from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 will offer significant upgrades. Not least of all the lock screen widgets and hence the ability to use Dashclock.

Owners of the Samsung Galaxy range of handsets will be pleased to hear that they are about to be updated to Jelly Bean 4.2.2.
PC Tablets said that the devices getting updated include the Samsung Galaxy Note, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Samsung Galaxy S3. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 along with the Samsung Galaxy S3 should get the update anytime soon, as it was said to be before the end of May. There just happens to be two more days left this month.
SamMobile also backed this up on their Twitter account, when they said that the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will also be getting an update to Key Lime Pie, when it comes out.
“A tweet from a reliable internal source for Samsung related leaks, SamMobile, has confirmed that both Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update is coming by the end of May or in start of June,” said the report.
There is no word on when they might get the update to Jelly Bean 4.2.2, however when they do it could be the last update that these handsets get.
Owners will be pleased to know that the update will bring with it new features along with bug fixes, owners can also look forward to being about the resize apps, change the layout and the colour.
Are you the proud owner of any of the handsets and are waiting to get updated?

Indeed ... also 4.3 does have some interesting features but nothing major from my perspective ... also i think they won't separate the editions for those major updates and they'll roll out them for all s4 together ... but that's only an assumption ... and i would be shocked if any s4 doesn't get 5.0 KLP update at all ...

Are your kidding buddy. Means now Galaxy S3 has rumored about 4.3 JB & you are talking about No to update of S4 to KLP.?
i saw somwhere that s2 got jelly bean update ... and s4 would not get an update that really matters? yes that would be shocking news indeed ... either from the community or from samsung eventually s4 will get that update ...
and also i noticed someone in this thread said something about a 18month commitment to google that OEMs should provide updates? never heard of that before ... is it legit?

Samsung is known to be slower than most when it comes to updates for all of their devices. Its been like this for years and is not likely to change anytime soon. On the flip side, when samsung finally does realease updates, most of the time they are generally less buggy and are more stable than others.

Not really fair to be honest. Every Samsung device I've had got at least 1 major update within a few months of its release. It's the the older devices, ie note 2, s3 that will wait ages or not get it. The S4 + Note 3 will get kit kat by January if history repeats. Also in the past Samsung have denied updates to older devices due to hardware limits, Google are claiming kit kat can run happy on 512mb Ram so who knows, maybe old devices might just get a break (pun intended, sorry )

This.
As always, samsung is super slow with updates, so don't bother in at least 6 or 7 months, and even with that, the note line is never the first one, so probably S4 and S5 will get 4.4 2 or 3 months before the note.
Saw someone quote a samsung rep tweet about them being more concerned about getting most of the older devices to 4.3 first. And about note 3 having to wait at least 2 months for 4.4

on other news, HTC pledges to get 4.4 out to its HTC One in 90 days, Google Play Edition, in 15 days...
would be nice if Samsung could make and keep to a similar commitment
This is one thing, coming from iOS which is absolutely mind blowing how Samsung doesn't give a rats ass about being up to date. Why own a Android device that runs old software 1 month after buying it and not be allowed to update it.

i dont think its going to be within a month but i ve had all the notes so far. i717 original galaxy note shipped with gingerbread(2.3)
got updated to ice cream sandwhich 4.0.4( i believe) and than got updated to jellybean 4.1.2
note 2 was ics→4.1→4.3 coming in next month
the updates come but they are slow......But we do have a secret weapon... XDA woot woot!
I wish it was faster but to be honest doesnt really matter to me since im just gong to mess with
They did sell a significantly larger amount of Note 3's in a much shorter period than previous Note devices. So who knows? We had 4.3 well before the flagship S4...
As for the N2 (and S3) still lagging behind, that's because they skipped 4.2.

To quote Engadget :
Update: There's still no official word on why this is the case, but sources close to the company have pointed the finger at a different hardware issue on the Galaxy Nexus: its Texas Instruments-built chipset. The company is out of the mobile business and as such isn't in a great position to give the support necessary for continuing OS upgrades -- presumably some of those 1,700 employees let go in the shift away from mobile could have helped. Now we'll have to see if the community can pick up where the corporations left off or if this is the end of the road for the Gnex and its other OMAP-based kin like last year's Kindle Fire HD, Nook HD and Droid Bionic.
Seeing as we're talking Samsung devices here, I think we should be ok

The note 2 actually came shipped with 4.1 jb.
I don't really know about the fuzz with updates. It's not like apple pushes em out on a monthly basis, only when needed. Same for Samsung, people should stop whining about fast updates, making them work etc takes a lot of time. If they release it early and there are a few bugs people will whine about that.
If the phone works and it does very smoothly here under 4.3 why do you instantly need an update?

Could someone (in theory) create a stock google 4.4 rom for our Note 3?
I know stuff like eye detection and the S-Pen and god knows what else wouldn't work..
AOSP roms won't be out for a while until Samsung gives the community the binary drivers.
Samsung are slow at doing, only in Oct did they release the binaries for S4 6 months after release.
In theory you can download 4.4 and cook your own rom but without drivers from Samsung it won't be stable or certain hardware will not work at all.
If you want the latest and greatest Andriod then you should have brought a Nexus phone.
