Android 4.4 Discussion thread - Galaxy S III General

First Official 4.3 ROM is out. Any news on when will 4.4 come in both Official and Cyanogen?
Thanks.

I don't really think that Samsung will provide their SGS3 users with KitKat. If KitKat will be available for SGS3 then it's a custom Rom and that could take a while since it isn't released yet..

I hope Samsung releases 4.4 for the S3. I noticed CM11 is already in Alpha.

I've read somewhere around this forum that a leaked document about KNOX from Samsung said SGS3 will have KNOX...that will probably be contained in 4.4 ... so we have hope :laugh:

Cm 11 unofficial Runs really smooth but Wi-Fi and camera doesn't work. Nice new look. Also I think Sam will give us kit Kat firmware.

Hmmmm... nice !!!
Impatiently waiting for official CM 11 ...i don't really care if sammy release 4.4 or not..but i hope they do .. that way devs can get kernel sources and mali blobs to make best stable CM11 Rom ...

I'm running an unofficial release of CM11 and all is working but WiFi. The only issue I had was the camera but I resolved it by first installing CM10.2, then installing CM11 over it without wipe. I get unlimited data so I'm not too fussed about WiFi. Otherwise there are no issues I've encountered so far (fingers crossed).
EDIT: Here's where I found the CM11 unofficial - Unofficial i9300 Builds - You'll need to search for a post by a guy named Ben Edmunds. A Google search should help you find the 4.4 GApps.

News! Latest Kernel source will be released soon(I9300 Intl)

I've got this today:
[SAMSUNG OSRC COMMENTS DELIVERY NOTIFICATION]
♦ classification : Mobile Phone ♦
♦ model name : GT-I9300 ♦
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your interest in our product.
We are now in the process of gathering source codes, and it might be finished by this week.
We will let you know a reply to this issue soon.

PLEASE GIVE US WHATEVER YOU HAVE GOT!!!!!
Then,we can wait for a huge change in Custom kernels.
Latest source version of now, is I9300XXUGMK6
We may get source of I9300XXUGND5
I don't really understand , so what would this mean if we got the kernel source...would there be improvements in the kernels we have now?

Improvements maybe in performance and stability.XXUGMK6 has a wake up delay,and memory control is bad.
And I'm hoping that Sammy will give us a 3.4.X kernel....
I'm not good in English and developing,you may ask kernel developers for help.

Thanks.
Huge change? No.
In best case it will solve some random camera issues, and this is THE BEST CASE.
Of course I'll merge it when released, but don't expect anything huge.

Well all they will do is upload a dump of the current kernel sources as they are in their repo, I don't expect anything else than a 3.0.y, pretty much the same we have now with maybe a few little changes, nothing huge anyway.

Will the new kernel only fix camera crash issues (talking exactly about the camera)?

Hey, I only just got the SIII so I'm not familiar with the way Samsung work with source code: are you saying they have no public git? There isn't one I can find, so will the aforementioned new code be listed here as a zip instead as "Update 14"?

No major oem has a git, except Sony I think, and Google for the Nexus line. So yes, it'll be Update 14.
Don't expect a 3.4, that would be a huge workload, and what would be the point from their perspektive ? Don't have too high hopes, you will get dissappointed.

There is no i9300 official 4.4.x, so the kernel will certainly not be updated towards that goal...

i actually don't agree with cm on that, htc Samsung taking 90days is legitimate because they have tons of devices to maintain, but one plus only has one to maintain, it should take less time

You're right oneplus has one device, but its based on CyanogenMod but cm has to maintain as much devices as Samsung

Think he's saying that because it started rolling out last night (around 9 I think UK time?) and that people have been talking about it in the Development thread.
So I wouldn't say old news really but that's probably why he said it.

Apart from Nexus(es) and Google Editions, no phones have a device tree specific for lollipop.
But, considering I came from a device which sources never got released (Galaxy S Advance) and devs was still able to build (not to port, to build) up to 4.4.4, that shouldn't be a problem
Just don't be in a hurry, first rule of XDA is NO ETA.
The manifest is still missing, and lots of the code is still 4.4 kitkat code..
There's still some time to go.
I just pray that our beloved Dev s can keep it or stop it rather from looking like apple os L
Sent from my One A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
All that developers really have to do to port it to the OPO is to get the patches used in CM for the OPO and apply them to Lollipop. There may be some problems that will occur during the application of the patches, but that all can be fixed.
I'll be excited to see a port and to use it dual booting until OnePlus releases the firmware for the One.
I think we will get 5.0 this month, but not the CM version. I can remember that Oneplus posted a AOSP version for the One by themselves. So why shouldn't they publish a AOSP version of Lollipop?

They may do that. But we will more likely get an unofficial build much sooner than official AOSP/CM12S.
CM12 Nightlis will also come long time before CM12S

Because their official ROM is CyanogenMod. If they will release an official AOSP 5.0 a lot of people will stop using CM11s and that would create a legal issue. It's not like Touchwiz for Samsung or Sense for HTC, the rom in the opo is not their intellectual property., they just have the right to use it.
where is that 5.0? cant see it ages

Lollipop based ROM for S5 active.

Am at a point to almost get rid of my S5 active for the lack of Android 5.0X based ROMS .

This is for ATT based S5 active ROMS.

Nexus Experience 10.0.3
I love this ROM, fluid, stable, fast. I install it just yesterday and till now I didn't find nothing to reproach. I found just a little bug, I think it's present in other 6.0 ROM's too. When the screen is on Horizontal a black bar apear in the right side (my right side). Also the icons from status bar have a reflection on that black bar.

Using Cyanpop on an XT1032 right now without Gapps. I'd have hoped that the battery life would be better on Marshmallow but even with no gapps installed, the battery drain is quite bad (I always follow th extreme battery saving guide and also have no background sync or data heavy apps). It's quite frustrating tbh.
I'm guessing all the CM-based roms have this issue plus their compatability with XPosed isn't great but sadly, the stable ones are mostly CM-based.

How much battery is drained ? I will try on CM 13 with Greenify and some options enabled to see if the battery life is better or not. NOw I get about 3 hours of SOT, I expect to get with greenify about 5-6 hours.
