So all we need is an update for Note 2 so we can get a TW port. Perhaps this port could be more stable than KK. So the question is, when is the 5.0 official update for Note 2 will come? Are there even rumors for an update for the note 2?
Android Lollipop will most likely be even less hardware-hungry than kitkat. So I see no big problem in bringing it stable to our device.
aosp lollipop - yes, if it will be ported or support for s3 by cm will continue, that would be awesome
Android L is like windows 7 and 8, similar but better performance
we can dream ! no

I want to think so, let's wait
Sorry for coming around with such a negative approach but do you really think that we'll get Lollipop after KitKat was cancelled? That seems to be unlogical, especially when we think about the update policy of Samsung.

Hi!
I don't think that S3 will get Lollipop directly from Samsung (I think nobody expect that), but I expect that will be technically possible, hardware could running it and developers try to port the update for this device.
From Samsung, I don't expect nothing.
what i really hope is that android 5 won't need a kernel update.... or we will be stuck with an unworking cm12
By the way, can you guys explain me how project volta works? will it come to other non-nexus devices? thanks
I need touchwiz based Android Lollipop with blend of s5 and Note 4 features. Will it be possible in future?

You saw a news which is dated at march 2013, are you serious?
There will be no touchwiz based lollipop for SGS3. If we're lucky, EXTREMELY lucky, some exynos 4 device may get lollipop, like Note II got kitkat, and somebody may port it, but this is THE BEST SCENARIO, considering the fact that Note 2 got KK and we didn't, and Samsung policy, we may NOT be that lucky. I doubt that any Exynos4 similar device will make it.
You'll have more luck waiting for CyanogenMod, Omni or similar AOSP ROMs, but be prepared for issues, I already have some sneaky tests going on .
I fear that it will be the KitKat thread all over again with rumors, screenshots of "test reports" and whatnot.

Well, kitkat was made for devices with 1gb of ram. Rumors says that android 5.0 is going to be for devices with 512mb of ram(or even more). So chances are that we could skip kk and go directly to L. But this is based on rumors only.
Not likely mate. As far as Samsung is concerned our device is obsolete.

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.
You heard it right!

God, im excited, what about you guys?

I'm not that excited. I think it's great for this device's development, but I personally prefer the battery life and stability that the stock rom gives us. The official 4.3 will suffice for me until I upgrade to a different phone.

?? touchwiz? who said anything about touchwiz?
he's talking about the binary blobs of the mali driver. CM needs that too, for smooth animations and the like.
That's the reason why CM 10.2 has laggy animations and CM 10.1.3 doesn't. Same reason for Omni.
We have 4.2 blobs, but not for 4.3.
Exynos
So.. I'm sure the community will release a 4.4 ROM sooner or later but depending on the community rather than Samsung i think that a broad community is necessary to get good results. I was used to a great developer community delivering great ROMs and options for my Samsung Captivate but now i see that somewhat diminished in i9300 because of the Exynos code being closed to devs. Camera being faulty, animations being laggy, etc.
I'm wondering that maybe its time to move from my gs3 to some other device with a Snapdragon maybe and an active dev community. I'm not a dev but I really enjoy their work. Which device do you think its currently one that promises good dev activity? Am I right to think snapdragon is a better choice? In that case, could a, say ATT GS4 with Snapdragon, be a better option?
Thank you!

No. It actually going to be happen relatively sooner. As very good indication, Samsung will debut new Samsung S5 at MWC 2014, and possible annouce KitKat 4.4 updates for not-to-older devices as well. This is the only chance that Note 8 will get KitKat 4.4, remember that there's 18 months of software support for Android smartphones (Google’s 18 month mark), if it won't get 4.4 this time, it will never going to see 4.4 (officially at least)

It seems that you guys don't have much experience with samsung. I feel, from what I have seen from them over a few years that my prediction is....no kitkat 4.4 for the note 8 ever!
Samsung has released Android Lollipop 5.0.1 today, first in Poland (SM-910C). Samsung seems to be using Poland as a test ground, hoping users will bring up bugs and battery life problems so Samsung may release a fixed and near perfect software to the widespread community. Now, it's a waiting game until it reaches OTA for Verizon Customers. Reaching root may be difficult on Lollipop 5.0.1, even impossible as far as we know. Besides the fact and enjoyment of root, stock TouchWiz incorporated into Lollipop on the Note 4 will be by far the best OS of and across all Android devices.
Near perfect? You sound very optimistic. Best os across all android platforms? You sound very very optimistic. But I do hope you are right.
I have been surprised on how much I have not missed Root. I just came from the S4 MDK and had CM12 on it. Really do miss Lollipop, but I really do love this phone. Sad to say though, with Verizon it maybe 6 months before we see Lollipop.
I think we'll get Lollipop before mid-March. VZW got it out very quickly for the S5 so I believe that they are working on it now.

If Samsung did get lollipop on the retail N4 soon and it was rootable I would actually use my upgrade and get the N4. Currently still using a rooted N3 and honestly very happy with it, but the temptation for a rooted N4 with lollipop would probably be too much.

I just hope they have de-touchwizzed it a bit so we can enjoy all the bliss of Lollipop. If nothing else add a AOSP theme in the settings. Give us the option. I think Samy would sale a lot more phones if they gave the users a theme option. I don't see it happening though.

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.

It is really nice, looks and runs very good but the problem is that after about a month it started running slow, which is weird because I installed about 15 apps at the beginning and then nothing. I flashed unofficial CM12 and it is ok except camera.

m-for-i9300
i and another popular dev we're working on m dp for i9300.
for now it's very difficult, if we can get a build for sure it will be buggy (no ril, wifi etc.)
anyway: https://github.com/m-for-i9300
Maybe it's possible with custom roms
We all know somebody is gunna port this to our device. The s3 still sells. Its got a bit of development still and cm12.1. Someone will do it.
Still waitingg

Marshmallow?
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.
