Hello XDA community!
As you know, Sammobile announced that I9300 won't get official Kitkat update from Samsung. You can get more information from there;
http://www.sammobile.com/2014/05/07/heres-a-list-of-samsung-devices-getting-the-android-4-4-kitkat-update/
But Samsung released official Kitkat update for International Note 2 (N7100) from OTA. Almost everyone believed in this update is canceled because of low RAM. I did not believe it. So, I started to work to boot N7100XXUFND3 on I9300.
The ROM is about 1.8 GB, we have 1.5 GB partition size for system. There is no way to boot on NAND without partition eMMC. I partitioned my 16GB sdcard and install the ROM to sdcard. I changed the kernel from I9300XXUGNB6. And it booted.
It's running pretty smooth even running on sdcard. Of course it crashes sometimes, but not a big deal. The most important things are not working too (like RIL, WiFi)
Here's a video of demonstration;
Here's RAM usage;

So, What's your opinion about canceling update?
Only commercials, if they update an with years old phone they don't sell more s4 and s5

Great job brother but huge disappointment as Google stated that kk can work on devices lower than 512mb of ram easily yet Samsung cancelled it due to ram limitations not genuine reason possibly they would bring a update in the near future neglecting a flagship device is seriously awful!

Well have kitkat, believe me. If you do the same with the KitKat update for the GT-I9305 instead of the Note2 firmware it will be better. Wifi will work, and RIL most probably too after some little changes.
I will try my best to port the upcoming GT-I9305 KitKat update to the GT-I9305. If you could tell me what you have done in order to port the firmware, that would be awesome! Maybe we can team up and start porting as soon as the update is available?
BTW: Why havent you debloated the rom to shrink it a bit? Removing all unnessesary apps from /system/app and /priv-app could make it smaller than 1,5GB

-If Samsung release Kitkat for GT-I9305, I'll do my best for porting it to I9300 too.
-I don't want to remove any apk for testing RAM usage (reason of cancelling)
-I changed only kernel, and it booted.
-We can make a team for porting of course, why not?

Ahh that makes sense amd im happynto hear that you want to team up! In the past i have ported several things and i think that we can do it together! The only thinh i worry about is the RIL. Lets hope samsung releases the S3 LTE firmware soon so we can start working on it.
Also a thing with the S3 LTE is that it has a different partition layout. We must take care of that and be very carefull in what we do. Unlike the note2 we cant just flash it and see what happens.

Note 2 has a different partitio layout too.
as a normal user, I'm going to hope that Samsung leaks GS3 KitKat Drivers, Kernel and sth like that.. And if they do, it may help you developers.
Thanks for trying to help all of us Kitkat wanters
Sam**** will definetly not release any Kernel source without releasing a rom along with it. Thats for sure. But we can take stuff from GT-i9305 and Note2 so were good for the next time....atleast till the next major Android version.

A few thoughts:
-RIL: I guess the baseband is loading modem FW from NAND even when booting from SD card. Could also be an EFS issue.
-WiFi is probably Knox interfering with module loading, as seen on the I9305.
-Storage is a consequence of booting from SD card.
-Sensors are either a HW mismatch between S3 and NoteII, or a failure to mount the Firmware partition.
Try to debloat and flash on NAND.

forumber2 can you post here your rom here so somebody can debloat it or help you with it ???
Ok. So let get this straight. what you actually did is that you modified build.prop (someone posted once here how it should look) and replaced the boot. (bin, I guess) with a stock kernle from S3, right ? And you installed it on the SD card because you needed more space ? If this is right, then please upload the ROM here, and I will debloat it for you
I will still try to do this. Also, the build.prop was uploaded on XDA with the news that S3 won't receive official KK. I will remove some Google stuff and then let the flash begin

Nope, the video is legit. Look at the lockscreen and the settings app. Baseband version is also unknown, which is a sign that this is a legit port.
P.S: What are you gonna do with this rom? Its useless...WiFi and RIL doesnt work...

I didn't said it is not legit. in fact, I wanted to know what to do to use it myself And I would probably end just by testing it for few hours, probably testing some random modems / (restoring EFS :-? ). And @henrylife , who is porting the S5 ROM said that every 4.3 kernel works on that, so... probably ending dual-booting it. Found on Note II's thread even ROMs with like 600-700MB.

-RIL: I think I just need to change RIL blobs tp get it work. It's easy
-WiFi: Maybe KNOX, maybe WiFi modules (dhd.ko) causes the problem. We should try
-Storage: The storage problem isn't causing by booting from sdcard, I tried boot from sdcard with CM11 and I9300XXUGNB6. Those had not any problems about storage. I think I need to change mount commands in ramdisk.
-Sensors: Android Sensor Service is updated in Kitkat. So, we need newer sensor driver of I9300. Maybe we can use CM11 opensource driver.

The Sensor driver should be easy, we can take blobs from the GT-i9305 Update. BTW: Im going to create a developer port thread this evening..lets see what we can do.
To get storage to Mount 100% you will need to modify the vold. Fstab file. Once done your storage should work correctly. If you need help With RIL let me know via PM. Also i Can help you get these bugs ALL ironed out TODAY. Just PM me thanks.

Also OP this is 100% usable With NAND. Just move some Google apps to /data when flashing And It will Fit perfectly atleast that Way your still able to test ram usage
I am porting note2 kk firmware. I have Also removed Knox from the firmware as It only cause problems for me. Once Im happy Ill release It so you can all test. Please bare With It Im working off my Phone unlimited connection so upload And download are Very slow. Thanks.
This new kk build will be 100% NAND compatible. Thanks.

UBUNTU TOUCH v0.1 FOR i9100 ALPHA
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS VERY VERY UNSTABLE AND MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!
This one has been build by @ bluefa1con so all the champagne & beer bottles goes to him. Is the same build as mines! I decided to release my version when I have most of the bugs fixed. HERE IS STILL PRESENT THE CHOPPY TEXT BUG! We think is caused by hardware-composition, we don't know right now.
Let's get started. First of all, WIPE YOUR DEVICE & FORMAT /SYSTEM, /CACHE, /PRELOAD! Then:
1. Download this build of Ubuntu Touch: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to...c-demo/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
2. The both files from here: http://goo.im/devs/bluefa1con/ubuntutouch
3. Copy them to your internal / external memory. Note that dual-boot is not yet supported!
4. Wipe everything you can.
5. Install CM10.1 zip - DON'T REBOOT!
6. Flash quantal(...).zip file - AGAIN, DON'T REBOOT!
7. Finally, flash hdpi_overlay.zip and then you can reboot safely.
8. Enjoy!
Report any bugs here!
So far it looks stable over the UI. Perfomances are not so great because both of us we can't manage to get working all the 2-cores. HW acceleration is disabled because is very buggy also the audio. Wifi works, cellular + 3G also. It is not very useful right now but as far as this will get more and more updates, it will be very cool .
Note: DO NOT FLASH IT INTO OTHER VARIANTS OF i9100!
Thanks, I'll keep you updated.

Dear fellas,
Right now I'm doing a very beta test of my own build for Ubuntu Touch. So far it looks stable over the UI. Perfomances are not so great because I can't manage to get working all the 2-cores. HW acceleration is disabled because is very buggy also the audio. Wifi works, cellular + 3G also. It is not very useful right now but as far as this will get more and more updates, it will be very cool .
As soon as I finish with the final testing, I will upload the 3 ZIP files. Until that, prepare your phone and make a full BACKUP!
Note: I suggest to try it in dual-boot as I do and DO NOT FLASH IT INTO OTHER VARIANTS OF i9100!
Thanks, I'll keep you updated.

bubble-be is right the kernel for Ubuntu touch requires some special properties
FYI guys, I have tested it only as a second rom (like boot2gecko). I test it right now as a primary rom and I have problems with the text as well. I don't really know what is happening but the screen looks like there are some ''dead'' pixels. You cannot read the entire text. I tried different kernel entries but no success, also wiped cache / dalvik cache. Let me see how fast can I fix it.
PS: try bluefa1con's build. Mine is not so far from it.
@bluefa1con, let me know if I can post your build on the first post w/ full credits to you. It take some time to make another build right now but I'm uploading the current images on zippyshare.
EDIT: audio fixed but choppy sound!

CM10.2 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1V_hMyelDz0Rm1nenlqT2JKWkE/edit?usp=sharing AS OF 21.11.2013
UNOFFICIAL FAQ FOR CM10.1/10.2
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION
Q: Where’s the download?A: The initial FXP release had an incorrect kernel – you can download a working version of ROM from here. http://d-h.st/TPT
This ROM has since been updated a download can be located here. http://d-h.st/i3V
If you wish to try a CM10.2 (that’s Jelly Bean 4.3 – have Sony actually released a 4.3 ROM yet?) one can be downloaded from the link above.You can also download the correct version of GAPPS for Jelly Bean 4.3 here. http://brintaylor.info/Android/CM/gapps/
For the CM10.2 build you should use this link to report bugs. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/185s...9UINQ/viewform
Uberlaggydarwin plans to take a 'light touch' approach to support via XDA, so don't necessarily expect an answer to a query if you post in this thread
It seems like FXP have delayed releasing for our device for now, but information about CM builds that are being actively supported and developed can be found in this thread for now.
Q: How do I install?
A: You need an unlocked bootloader and an installed recovery. BACK UP your current ROM to your external SD card. Put the ROM and GAPPS on your external SD card. Boot into your recovery, do the necessary wipes, flash the ROM, flash GAPPS, reboot, victory. Disclaimer: if it breaks your phone, it’s your fault.
Q: Do I need to install the supplied kernel before installing the ROM?
A: No, unlike older xperia models CWM is able to flash both the kernel and the ROM at the same time. There is no need to use fastboot or flashtools to flash the kernel first, just a working recovery and an unlocked bootloader on your phone.
Q: Can I use another kernel instead?
A: No, for now only the supplied kernel will work.
Q: I’ve installed the ROM but can’t find the play store?
A: Immediately after installing the ROM you should install the 4.2.2 version of GAPPS (Google Apps) – this installs the play store and several other applications that Google regard as essential to the Android experience. This can be found here – http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip
Q: How do I update to the latest version of the ROM?
A: Once you’ve downloaded the latest version to your SD card, boot into recovery. No need to wipe your data, though you probably should wipe cache and dalvik cache (I don’t know whether this is done automatically as part of the installation but it can’t do any harm). You don’t need to install GAPPS again as this is a firmware update, not a new installation.
However if you’re moving between versions i.e. 10.1 to 10.2 you should definitely do a factory reset – the ROM may well work fine without a data wipe, but it may not and any problems might not be immediately noticeable (making bug tracking difficult). I would advise you NOT to report bugs if you’ve moved between android versions without a factory reset.
Q: When will they release a version that works on a locked bootloader?
A: Never. Some the features of the ROM simply won’t work very well/at all on a stock kernel. If you are rooted you can simulate some of the features with apps and mods though.
POST-INSTALLATION QUESTIONS
Q: I’ve installed the ROM – I can use Titanium Backup to reinstall all my apps right?
A: Yes and no. They may work fine, they might not – you are better off letting Google’s back up service restore all your apps. If you restore an app using Titanium or similar software and it’s buggy, there’s no point reporting it – re-install the app instead, perhaps even the ROM.
Q: 4G isn’t working – what do I do?
A: It’s not enabled by default on CM10.1 so you must do the following.
Go to the dialpad/phone.
Dial in the this number: *#*#4636#*#* (This will bring up "Phone info").
Tap WCDMA from under "Set preferred network type".
Select "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)".
The 4G LTE network should now be activated.
Q:Where’s USB mass storage?
A: After ICS Google stopped including it in their Android builds, as such mass storage mode is not a feature that was kept by CM for Jelly Bean. Individual manufacturers do what they want though, which is why Sony, Samsung and others still have it. Skilled modders may be able to add to ROMS based on this development, I reckon they might be able to patch this one to include it too
Q: This ROM is buggy as hell and drains my battery – how do I let the developers know?
A: Logcat and/or a kernel log - or it didn’t happen for bugs.
Better battery stats for battery drain.
There are lots of guides out there showing you how to take logs and how to record battery stats.
Anecdote – I activated Google+ yesterday as I like the auto-photo upload feature but wakelock detector revealed it was killing my battery (I think it’s dodgy on stock too). The choice was the app or the ROM, I chose the ROM.
Q: After installation something random doesn’t work – what do I do?
A: Check the thread to see if other users have mentioned the issue and to see if the developer has posted a solution. Also, you’re on XDA, you’re an advanced user, you have unlocked your bootloader, thrown out your warranty and accepted the consequences. So please try to resolve the issue yourself. In general if you are having a problem and no one else is, it will be a problem with your phone/download/installation.
Phone - obviously a hardware fault can't be foreseen by the developer and have you unlocked your bootloader!
Download - Most downloads are fine. But I've flashed enough ROMS to know that sometimes a file gets corrupted and sometimes they say they are complete when they are not. Sometimes I've been careless and clicked on the wrong download, sometimes the website hosting the site is haveing a a bad day, sometimes the developer puts the download in the wrong place too The first things to check are the name and size of the file - if these tally you're probably fine to install. If you want to be extra cautious you can check the MD5 hash to see if your download matches. Sometimes the file gets corrupted on upload - nothing anyone can do about that...
Installation - (Please back up your orignal ROM). Typically you'll be installing this ROM using a recovery from another ROM/kernel/MOD - so if you have problems installing , it might be that you have a bad recovery.
The wipes really need to be done to ensure the smooth running of your phone, but as you've backed up, the 15 seconds you spend properly wiping should not be much of a chore.
If you're one of the first downloaders, I guess there is some merit in saying you couldn't install, but if it's been out for a while and there are loads of posts saying 'what a great ROM' there's little point posting 'won't install'. Describe exactly what you've done and someone might help.
Bear in mind there are apps/hardware that the developers of this ROM won’t have heard of/care about - so if something doesn’t work properly on your phone it could be for numerous reasons. Either way, this may be something you have to live with. Alternatively, if the app is essential to you, you’ll have to return to a backup.
Remember this ROM is in development, there are no promises of perfection and no one is forcing you to use it. However, the right kind of feedback is always welcomed by the developers and may be acted on – the wrong kind will often be ignored.
Q: What does a perfect bug report look like?
A: Go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46935640&postcount=313
Q: What are the known bugs?
A: FM radio doesn’t work.
A: Attempts to offline charge cause the phone to boot.
A: 4G activation is not remembered between boots for CM10.1.
A: For 10.2 there is a known battery drain issue related to WiFi. See the solution here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46923723&postcount=301
The following issues have been reported by some users, but others say it doesn’t affect them. They are regarded as hardware issues – anecdotal ‘me too’ posts will be ignored. However, supply a log and your phone’s date of manufacture and the developer may look into it (this might help you prove that your phone is faulty, so it’s a worthwhile exercise).
Erratic touch screen response.
Reading external SD Card in recovery and in use.
As others have said this is possibly the most stable first CM build they’ve encountered and I agree – it’s definitely suitable for daily use. I've been using it from release and haven't had a single reboot/app crash or freeze.

Screen Flicker
Hi @Rajeev
I didn't experience screen flickering at ALL in ANY test builds so I find this really difficult to believe but I'm happy to take a detailed look at it ..
Log's plus video(so I can see what you mean) would be useful so I can get this possible ?issue? and if it is an issue then I'll get it resolved.
None whatsoever for me so this is a really weird issue....
Thanks
I have the flickering too ! And the phone often soft freezes. Seems like the app isnt updated anymore on screen. It can also be just the keyboard for example. Hiting recent tasks unfreezes it but systemui sometimes freezes until reboot.

2) When i press the Reboot option its rebooting but its rebooting like something weird in Screen..
3) Soft reboots happens multiple Times...

Just wondering if you are guys are using locked or unlocked bootloader? I'm locked with CWM and I'm wondering what the process would be of installing... (e.g. wiping /data...)

Hey, Make a backup, you need an unlocked bootloader for this. Then wipe all cache and data etc. then flash the rom on your phone

LOG"S OR IT DIDN"T HAPPEN . I'm serious.
I'm downloading this release to test but I can't help much if you don't provide logs.
Are you sure its not auto-brightness being turned on as auto-brightness doesn't work very well in stock so the changes are probably more noticeable.
Reboots work perfectly fine for me..
On the recent test builds I haven't had a reboot issue but as you know the kernel is temporary so I'll redo it when 4.3 comes out....
WE NEED LOGS.
As the title states this Chinese ROM has been released for our phone. From what I gather it is similar to MIUI in the sense of it being a rather hefty redesign of the default Android UI.
Did anyone get to try it on their phone ?
You can grab it from here : http://www.smartisan.cn/download.html

Tried it. Fairly decent. Superficially, the 3x3 grid size is off-putting. Even the 4x4 grid size isn't any better. Apart from that, very responsive and snappy ui as reported by blorro. All in all, good for a weekend experiment.

Was just about to reflash to another ROM and the OTA Updater on Smartisan notified of an Alpha Update.
Seemingly some call recording functions added now and recording editing possibilities.
The clock seems to get an overhaul as well.
Found this 2:11 Presentation on Youtube which revealed some more built-in features:

How's it for a daily driver? Any knows issues? Camera/Sound/calls all working fine?
Do you install it just like any other custom ROM? i.e. root, move zip to SD card and flash it via recovery?

Been running it as a daily for past 3 days, no issues detected.
Make sure you have updated CWM recovery since it's 4.2.2
Backup EFS (Dr Ketan has a good tool for it,check his thread)
install from .zip as usual.
For root access, i found this on SGS3 Q&A Forum:

For those like me, do test in Chinese rom Smartisan OS, and want to root, use this link, and flash in recovery, go to the icon Su and run it, it worked for me in 90%, reinstalled my APPs by Titatiun Backup just can not acessoa the backup folder Titaniun that is on the card, but transfer this folder to the internal memory and I could install 90% of my apps.
I used this link:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...18152&third=15
==============================================================================================================================================================
Flashed , then i ran titanium restore w/o issues.
After flashing update via OTA, root access was kept.
I have downloaded the ROM but before going ahead I want to ask whether this is SDS safe or not and would it change the modem also as if it change the modem there are chances of efs corrupt

Wouldn't know anything about SDS bug I'm guessing its fixed since this is CM based.
My modem did not get changed, always backup EFS before playing around.

This thread is here as a source for you guys to find out the progress off my port.
I am porting KK from Note2 to our International S3 i9300 because Samsung have failed our beautiful device.
Do Not ask for an ETA as all you need to know will already be in this thread.
TO DO:
modify our kernel to work on new KK build. ( 99% Done )
everything else is done And i am Now Just writing a new Update script And modify ramdisk is all to do alter that.
As soon as i have flashed And checked RIL Data And wifi work Ill release in new thread in dev section. Thanks
Wow great news All the very best bro. We are waiting
Awesomeness brother seriously hats off to all your efforts if im not wrong your the same guy who tested it and has also posted videos I really appreciate your efficient contribution and also understand the risk you took up by flashing a different device firmware watched both your videos as of now ril,wifi,storage isn't working and Samsung gave lame reason as ram consumption is high but in your video it ws somewhere around 500mb good going mahn all the best fingers crossed!!!

isn't note 2 kk too big to directly install on s3 .?
do we need partition the sd card..?
Will be interesting to see how this goes. The hardware is very similar. Do they both use the same Wolfson DAC?

So basically, we can keep shrinking the size by deleting bloatware and unwanted apps, right? Or that's the minimum size?

So sir we wait u hope u successful in everything porting kk & boot from nand not sd card wish you successfully. .
As i stated before no need for sdcard as my kk build is NAND compatible. I do not port a rom if it can work only from sdcard. This rom is stock debloated Note 2 firmware. All features will be Kept only use Less apps will be lost but most of apps will be flashed to /data so i dont have to remove so much

1st test proved kk CAN be ported from Note2. It booted to setup and rebooted i have fixed that reboot error but Im having Major problems With baseband unknown Which is what Im trying to fix Now. I will keep u all Updated. But ye it boots
I can give ABSOLUTLEY no gurantee!! All you do with your phone will be on your own. I'm not responsible if your phone will brick or whatever...
Attation! This kernel is for the I8200 variant ONLY... the I8190 is absolutley not compatible !!!
Kernel should be work also for I8200/I8200Q/I8200L-Variants, but can not be gurateed as the basis was I8200! If it works then a notice will be fine!
If you are not sure about the process, the data are important on your phone or you need it as a daily phone, then LET IT BEE, and wait for the messages that it is safe to use. Its important at the beginning that users with knowledge tried it at first !
Changelog:
12.02.2016: Long time ago, but now after a lot of investigating some new things comes up. Check what was done
05.01.2014: I try to work on the kernel over x-mas in my free time, but I must say that the source of samsung which was provided on opensource.samsung.com is not really funny stuff... there are so many coding errors, which was. not able for me to solve directly. So now I started to examine other kernel sources, and will try to port a more main.tained source to the i8200. From My point of view this will be the only way to produce an more accurate kernel for our device, and get the possibility to include also selinux what is needed for a kitkat-rom. Nevertheless, it is not easy to work on that stuff, because I'm not an expert on kernel work (but I learn every day more , so if you know someone with more kernel experiences, it would be very helpful to get a contact...
Baroni-V0.1 contains:
Basis of opensource from Samsung with some bugfixing
fixed recovery-boot-loop with a config-setting which must be used special in the Recovery zImage
Loglevel pushed down to minimum
Uber-Toolchain 4.9
set onDemand-Governor to standart. just to check how that works
start implementing SmartAssV2-Gonernor, but leave it inactive, due to some compile-errors.
bringing SELinux to work for future kernel releases if needed for > 4.4
Planned:
new govenors at the moment not established (will come later)
more other stuff (depending on learning-curve
Installation:
Install a recovery for safetyreasons (I prefer TWRP https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3rnfp3vabz9ee8/twrp_i8200_corrected.7z?dl=0
Read carefully the hints of the usage in the following firts post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/general/s-iii-mini-ve-i8200-n-t2826565 (There also the needed Odin (3.09) can be get)
Make backups of the complete phone, and be sure that you know what you do!
Download the right Firmware for your phone from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (just to have a other safety fallback in your hand!)
Download the file, start odin as usual (all kies-tasks closed!)
extract the file, and put it to AP
put the phone in Downloadmode (Vol-down,Home-key and powerbutton), and connect the phone with PC
flash the kernel, and let the phone reboot
pray
If things go wrong, please give everytime the following information's:
what you did before
what exactly happened (its not easy to help if you say: it did not work )
which rom in which version, which recovery and which version of my Kernel you use
try to get a /proc/last_kmsg (if a unknowen reboot appears) and/or Logcat, Build prop, CPU info, Sysctl, Kmsg, Dmesg and send it to me (or as a attachment to the post) for further analyse (you can use that tool for it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bassel.andylog )
Attention: First checks seem to be that I8200 (without N or L or Q) did not work atm.

My Friend.
Yesterday I tried to install its kernel but my phone did not start properly.
I wanted to do a restore from a backup that had done, but the recovery (TRWP) did not restore the data partition.
Is there any chance that I happen again the same with this version?

Attention with TWRP-Recovery. Data-Partition restore seems to be not right. At the moment please did not use it, because it can delete your data-partition. We have to investigate it further! Other partitions seems to be ok, but its a good Idea if you copy your important data also manually to a other storage (like PC) while you trying things of this thread.

Did you made a backup with twrp (as described)? If yes, then make a restore only with boot marked in the list.
Otherwise, which version did you have? Plain n/l/q? Than I can make a package for Odin...
