Try Ballis ROMS and mods. you will get most of those already. I am not stopping anybody who wants to complain but knowing Samsung...oh well good luck!
yar I bought grand 1 month before and its a really good device too...but when I saw the spec of galaxy ace 3 even ace which is cheaper device than grand itcomes with android 4.2 then why can't we have that update more over they haven't yet updated note2 or s3 ...think about the money we spend on these devices and inorder to experience new software features we have to wait so long or buy new device is that good ?

100% I agree with you! Samsung brings out new phones left and right just to be able to corner the market! Anyway as I said you don't have to wait for Samsung for updates- THAT IS THE REASON WHY YOU ARE HERE IN XDA! To Take advantage of the (free) MODs of folks like Balliboxer, k2wl, Chuto222, and others who give us S4 features on the grand.

I'm sure our handset can handle 4.2.2 really well.
I've used CM before, on my Galaxy W and Tab 2 7.0, but I still missed the look and feel of stock ROM, so I reverted back and just rooted, and froze some useless apps with Titanium backup. I had no problem with how CM runs, it's really fast and smooth, but it's the bugs that I can't live with. I guess there are some users out there who are like me, and that's why they're hoping for an official upgrade (that we could always root).
I really don't care about Samsung. I'm just waiting CM to be fairly working (at least the 2 SIM) with i9082.

I've tried 4.2 on another device and there's nothing there that 4.1 doesn't have, except 1-2 cosmetic stuff in the notification panel.
Touch wiz? A crappy launcher! Third part launcher are much better, highly customizable, icons changing, gestures etc.
Instead of 4.2 it would be much nicer to have a real floating multi windows mod as I requested in the apps and themes sections, cuz this is a REAL improvement.
But 4.2, bah, you're wasting your time guys...
We'll Get the Update.
Now we can do only one thing-
That is to Wait.

Well Google just announced android 4.4 KitKat. I wonder if Samsung will decide to skip the 4.3 upgrade for our phones and go straight to 4.4. If they do that even I will stop defending them when it comes to updates.
" I will stop defending them"....?...What if you get 4.4 soon directly.??

Not gonna happen mate.
S4 and Note 3 will get the update first.
S3 and Note 2: not before Q2 2014.
I'll come out when the new Nexus does. Probably October.
So far all I'm seeing for sure is an advertisement for Kitkat bars and android.com cobbling email addresses.
Where did you get the "Soon" part from?
5.0 KLP would be better for us b/c from 4.3 to 4.4 the new features will probably be less important than from 4.3 to 5.0.

IFA is now in Germany for the next few days. I just guessed it will be launched during this event. It's up to Google when they release it and no announcement has been made or leaked on the date.

But life isn't like that, so sadly it might be a rumor.
Hope we will see any proof from Samsung or leaks from right sources.

Samsung one day may need to match Apple's 4 os versions for each iphones. Thought 3GS was a fluke but iphone 4 got os 4 to 7. Apple is continuing to sell the 4S meaning it will go from os 5 to 8 too.

Yeap, I was told the same by one of the Engineer who works in Samsung.
I feeling bad because i just bought it and this news..Oh man!!!
4.3 is never going to happen.
The Galaxy S2 update proces will stop at 4.1.2 I think. The big problem here is the fact that Qualcomm stopped making drivers for the Qualcomm chip inside some Galaxy S2 variants like the American T-Mobile and Skyrocket variants after Android 4.1.2.
Samsung can only port 4.2.2 to the Exynos variants (because they make their own drivers), that will be the I9100(M,P,T), I777 and Epic 4G Touch variants.
Will Samsung choose to update those variants to 4.2.2 and leave the QC variants at 4.1.2? Or will they keep it simple and stop at 4.1.2 like HTC did with the HTC One S (2 variants one with a Snapdragon S3 which QC stopped supporting and another variant with a Snapdragon S4 which QC still supports)?
An Android 4.3 update for the Exynos variants would mean those American variants will be surpassed by 2 Android versions and that is never going to happen.

Well Samsung made those variants so they should care, the reason for all those variants are all the different bands those carriers want to support. I really hate all the different American variants, Murica before all. Samsung should release just one variant woldwide so they wouldn't have these problems.
But those variants are a good reason for Samsung to stop updating the S2. The Exynos chipset is more than capable to run Android 4.2.2 or 4.3 for that matter so they can't use arguments like the SoC is to slow or RAM is too low. It's kinda convient for them that QC stopped the support.
But all in all the S2 got enough updates. From 2.3.x to 4.1.x is very nice for an Android phone.

4.3 isn't likely for SGS2, but looks like we might be getting 4.4 Kitkat
EDIT: Well that might be a bit premature, 4.4 will have lower requirements than 4.3, so SGS2 will certainly be able to handle it, it's just up to Samsung now whether they want to do a new 4.4 rom for SGS2.
Even if 4.3 Official is released
i will stick with Cyanogenmod
TWz is very laggy
At least I learned something here. Never trust Samsung. Never trust ARM. Never trust Android. And never trust XDA members and their belief that customs ROMs will magically fix everything.
Open source hardware I say.
Is there any chance that Samsung will officially update the Touchwiz UI on S4 to match that of Galaxy S5?
While new Android versions have continued to be released for Galaxy S4, the UI has hardly changed. Even Note 3 has a different Touchwiz than S4.
HTC on the other hand has committed to releasing the new Sense 6 for the old HTC One. :good:

Hopefully they do, theres no real reason not to, other than they want more people to buy the S5 than hang on to their S4.
The S3 got some of the S4 features/change when it got the last update to 4.3, so we should see some further changes, but probably not for a while as @modyt suggests.
http://www.androidpit.com/changes-brought-by-the-android-4-3-update-to-galaxy-s3
Yes, I had read about the updates that came to S3 with the JB 4.3 update. But if Samsung is waiting to push UI changes with a new Android version update I think it will be quite a while (December 2014 or later may be).
@modyt - Thanks for those links. If I have to root then I am looking forward to CM ROM. Hopefully the sound bug will be solved by then.

Thats true, 4.4.3 looks like it is being tested at the moment by Google, so could be rolling out in the next month or so (obviously a bit longer to reach non-Nexus devices). Then there will be Google I/O in June (?) time, with the possibility of another update then. The next update could be around October/November when the Nexus 6 is likely to be released. Either way a lot of the S5 stuff has already been hacked to work on our S4, so if you're happy to go down the unofficial route for now you can.

The sound bug is gone, from what I've read. It was apparently a modem issue. And today's nightly has lots of fixes for audio recording too.

That really let me feel so bad about Samsung, they just know how to release new smartphones but then they forget to update it.

Well support stopped at 4.3 and I'm using the latest lollipop ROM with my S3 (via the latest BlissPop ROM). So I'm sure it will happen.

Coming from Samsung? No f*****g way. But fortunately there are many skilled and committed developers at xda who are working hard to keep our device up-to-date. So I'm sure a few of them will update their ROMs to Android M Sources.
The other Question is, if the (old) SIII Hardware is performant enough for Android M. But from what I read in the news, it shouldn't be too resource consuming.
So, if you are running a ROM and are willing to flash a new version: Things are looking good .
Its looks like a tiny upgrade as well so I'm sure the talented devs on this site can make it happen.

With aosp source code from Google still a couple of months away, I don't see this happen. Even the talented devs that ported 5.0 to our s3 will probably stop here. We may see more stable 5.1.1 ROMs, but I think that's it.
Let's face it. We have a poorly documented/sourced exynos, and our device is over 3 years old. Its been a good run.

you know that android M is 95% similar to android L , few tweaks and improves under the hood but nothing else so dont be so amazed for this update
Try the latest blekota 4.4.4, note 4 rom, it's really look like the note 4.
Samsung dropped support at 4.3 and will not be updating past it for the s3.
They have newer flagship devices in the S family which have taken over.
Custom roms might though.

On the one hand,we are lucky enough to get android L and the developers may stop.But android M is mostly same as L with a few extra features and tweaks.So,fingers crossed.

I think, we get Marshmallow only with customs ROM's like CM12, CM12.1.
Probably modders can port Marshmallow Rom.And also It will be Cm 13.0.I really liked Lollipop cuz the interface looking great and modern.
I agree with some posts, it's still too early to develop android M for non nexus phones. With patience and colaboration, eventually some developer will... develop android m for the S3.
