Yesterday, Samsung U.S. confirmed that 14 devices will soon be making the switch to Android 4.4 KitKat. However, there was no mention of when international models would be receiving the KitKat update. Fret not users, as we now have confirmation as to which international models will be getting the Android 4.4 KitKat update. The list is Samsung Poland’s official KitKat update list that was obtained today by Polish blogger Robert Nawrowski. It is to be noted that not all models listed below would be making the switch to KitKat right away. They will move to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, and eventually receive KitKat.
Here are the international models that will be making the switch to Android 4.4 KitKat:
Galaxy Note 3
Galaxy Note 2
Galaxy S4
Galaxy S4 Active
Galaxy S4 Zoom
Galaxy Mega 6.3
Galaxy Mega 5.8
Galaxy Grand
Galaxy Express
Galaxy Note 8.0
Galaxy Note 10.1
Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition
Galaxy Tab 3 7.0
Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

The list is identical to the list of models detailed by Samsung U.S., although unlike the U.S. list, it isn’t clear as to when these mobiles will receive the OTA update. Most devices launched last year are included in the list, with a few notable exclusions like the Galaxy Core. It is interesting to see that the Galaxy S3 won’t be making the switch to Android 4.4 KitKat, but considering that it is now close to two years since its official launch, we won’t blame Samsung for giving the S3 a miss.

It's grand only else 2 would have been mentioned. But still can't trust the same until official word is heard from Samsung itself.

Its from Samsung Poland
The good news is that this list is even bigger than the US-centric one, with 17 devices on it: Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy S4 Zoom, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Mega 6.3, Galaxy Mega 5.8, Galaxy Grand, Galaxy Express 2, Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, Galaxy Note 8.0, Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, and Galaxy Grand 2 LTE. Some of these may jump directly to 4.4, and others that are running older software versions may still receive some interim updates as well.

I wonder the DUOS(I9082) version of Galaxy Grand will have the official ones.
but sure thing is if Galaxy Grand will receive the official update, it can make our existing 4.4 ROMs more stable.
Also, Galaxy S III wont receive it because of not enough RAM (1Gb), same then Galaxy Grand has the same amount
or RAM (1Gb) though will recieve an Official ones.
I think of two things on this:
1. If Galaxy Grand will receive Kitkat, Galaxy S III will receive it well, worst case, both phones will not receive it.
2. Galaxy Grand (only 12Months Old)is around Google's 18-month rule, while Galaxy S III is almost 20months Old.
it's for sure grand will recieve 4.3 and let's hope 4.4 in future after android 5 update release in future:victory:
but am gona keep my lovely grand for that long until it taste real kitkat love my grand so much:crying:

First..its not SO-CALLED KitKat..it is FREAKING KitKat ..developers leave everything for days, their personal time,sitting just on that freaking screen, not making their ass off just so that WE can get KitKat and custom Roms ..so atleast don't insult them and their hard work by calling them SO-CALLED KITKAT..it is kitkat(every driver,single lib, single .dex file,single smali ) everything is pure kitkat...not so stop such comments u make especially with words "soCALLED" ..
Now abt the Samsung thingy .. @black87 only said that we already got KitKat(as that guy said waiting for KitKat)
there are many new comers who don't even know galaxy grand duos got custom KitKat Roms.. That's why the guy just made a point!!
Well informing something ain't a crime , is it ? ....

Informing isn't a crime, but for normal users custom roms is not a daily driver... Neither these ROMS give full functionality, neither they are as enjoyable as stock ROMS are..
And taunting that we had kitkat long ago seems bad, coz d basic thing is missing, and thats Dual SIM support, thats y most of the people bought this phone...

Depending heavily on personnel choice that someone uses dual Sim or not, claiming that custom Roms don't give full functionality sounds baseless..
Gimme second reason except dual sim problem.!
I get that many are scared to root and gain extra functional access to device(as it might brick the phone ), but one can't truly become a tester if he hasn't bricked his device(trust me, 100% guys brick their device for some obvious reasons and inexperience). That is why Xda is for..

I know u waiting for the official release of tw, but I would recommend to just once give kk(customs) a try , and u will get it what am talking about!
For those who are scared of bricking their device,
DONT BE, NOTHING CAN EVER HAPPEN WRONG WITH IT(just keep backup in PC, that's all)..

Ive bricked my every phone, but those were single sim devices and specially bought grand for dual sim use...
Have used Carbon, ProBam, Resurrection, and ended up flashing stock for dual sim purpose...
I salute the developers who give time to our devices, but every1 can't be comfortable with custom roms and thats my point...
I myself am a contributor, i don't develop, but i can be troubleshooter for most of the people, and i know how much pain it is, to make phones running smooth...

Whos is saying you to download. Just get out of this thread
Just use boring, laging, sucking touchwiz and free 200mb of RAM.
Anyone might have a clue as to when the galaxy note 3 exynos version will get cyanogenmod ?
Thx
Never, sorry bro. I'm in the same boat
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
S4 exynos did get cm , but that was ages after cm11 for qualcomm s4 came out.
You might wanna ask devs in i9500 forum for help
Exynos devices exhibit Samsung's greatest disdain for developers. Samsung goes well out of their way to be a PITA by using crappy KNOX in the bootloader and everywhere else. Also the Exynos devices aren't sold in great numbers and not sold at all in North America so many devs don't want (or can't) to take the time on a rare device.
It's too bad bc I see them going on ebay for $350-ish.
Hey all,
Finally upgraded from Galaxy S3 international to Note 4 SM-910C.
Was running cyanogenmod 11 on the S3 for a year and have never been more please with a mobile device.
now however with this new phablet, I'm hoping to achieve great things. Saying goodbye to RAM troubles and forgetting what cpu clocking is all about in general.
Was happy to experiment with the S3 as there were hundreds of roms available and endless tutorials on how to install etc. Now I'm not so worried as it's all quiet simple. But have noticed there isn't really much out for note the note besides lollipop on CM 12 and exposed.
Hoping any updates on new stable roms could be added here and I'll be sure to post anything when I hear about any new ones. Your time is highly appreciated
so basically, what's new and what's good? .
thank you
Well fabiolus..
Good and bad news, exynos has no custom roms. The sm n910c is an exynos and that means so far nada..
But the S3 was an exynos chipset too, and look at how many roms there are for that..
Keep your fingers crossed.. if there is nothing by next year I'll probably develop one myself!
FabiolusLMP
Exynos does have custom roms and same mods as snapdragon only CM12 for the snapdragon variant but development will pick up for Exynos once s6 drops

Yea, been sniffing around and so it seems development will pick up eventually.
So far came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-sweet-rom-v2-nj4-4-4-4-t2923953
For the exynos variant.
But still a bit skeptical, will hang on till my warranty expires then see what selections are available

Yep that's what I did lol.... I probably had my G3 for 3 months and got bored..... So I got note 3 even though it was slightly 'older'.
G3's advantages over note 3 was the camera and 4k screen. but devices always overheat and too slow.
i thinks my note 3 won't receive upgrade to Marshmallow.:crying:
Based on Samsung's past experience, there wont be 6.0 for Note 3 / S4.
I wouldn't change a working Note 3 for a G3, they are fairly similar but the Note has bigger screen and better battery life the only downside imo is the resolution. The hardware doesn't really offer a meaningful difference.
