Let's hope it's better then the 4.3 stock rom.

Temasek 's cm 11 unofficial 4.4 for the s3 is very stable und definitly useable as Dailydriver.
I'm since V1 on it....now V6 is avalible.

Only 6 months after it's release? Wow thanks samsung!
Ok, sarcasm aside, i guess giving the amount of devices that aren't even being updated at all, this is good news. But still, we know independent developers do nothing short of small miracles a few days after the official google release. Though i'm still imensly grateful to every dev and they're the only reason for me still having this phone, a proper samsung developing team with the proper resources has the obligation to do better and faster, so i can't help but to feel a bit screwed over by them. They surely aren't doing it because they care about the client, else their attitude would be different so there must be a different agenda in the background. On my expense. I shouldn't need to feel grateful when they release an update. Not when what i bought never worked properly to begin with with samsung's development nor it never will even with 3rd party development while samsung doesn't will it.
So, I'm not planning on still having my S3 by then. They didn't really do much during my phone's lifetime to keep me for a client. They still don't. To be rather honest all i found on samsung was disapointment. So, as soon as i'll have the chance, i'll try to replace it. I'm here to be proven wrong but my expectations for anything coming from samsung are really low at this point.

The way Omnirom is developing, they're soon going to make the stock ROM's obsolete. Stable nightly's coupled with "as good as stock" battery life, I'm definitely never going back to samsung base roms

I just installed OmniROM and it is already awesome, after adding customizable tiles in the quick select menu it will be perfect. The only thing that I miss from the stock rom is camera software and camera drivers and overall working. Everything else is better in OmniROM.

Well Omnirom has to deliver first.
I'm on Temaseks CyanogenRom V7 (started from V3) with Boeffla Kernel. Let's hope OmniRom does a good job. But until now, they also have just a more or less beta...

:good:

olol f*ck you sh!tty samsung.
wont be buying that sh1t again. S3 = SH!T 3
they'll tell us that touchwiz doesnt run on 4.4. thats why they cant release it
no more touchwiz devices for me.

We'll pray for that..:good:

That picture looks like the beginning of the reason why they're suddenly "delaying" the official 4.3 rollout.

Xperia Sp Kitkat "Under Investigation"

Has anyone check the support pages for xperia sp? I think we have a bad news about future update. Before the 4.3 comes, kitkat is the future version. But after an update, the change it to under investigation.

its under investigation because they are planning to abandon further support for sp because they have new sets of mobile lined up for this year which they will focus on more...
I BELIEVE THAT SP IS VERY MUCH CAPABLE OF RUNNING KITKAT

Why even post this considering it's already been mentioned in the android 4.3/kitkat thread....

For Ordinary KitKat i think that it will work but pray for ART

If Sony doesn't release 4.4 for SP I might buy the Z1 Compact or whatever will be the SP's succesor(only if it has 2 GB of ram !). What do you think Sony wants me to do ?

Most of the phones that have recently had 4.3 released had said that they were under investigation to get it. It doesn't mean we won't it just means they are going to see how much work it will take to do. Still a really good chance we will see it

Agree with you. I had the same thought!

I do believe that 4.4 will come to SP, since they have announced it as "future version" like last year. I guess they just want to take a break for a while for the whining that we SP users gave to them. :laugh:

Sony should release 4.4 +1 version. Since they support a device 18 months, I reckon that a version above Kitkat will release and that will be the last and the final update.

Testing Firefox OS in Xperia SP

So, this is a great new !!
http://fxpblog.co/firefoxos/testing-firefox-os-on-sony-xperia-sp/

I had one question always.
Can we xsp users multi boot?

great ! firefox on sp wow

No, it's a side project so it doesn't get much time. Release won't be for several weeks. The issues are not only on the side of device porting but also on the side of Mozilla. It is still under active development, unlike Android which is only released when it is complete.

Yeah, but of we get Ubuntu, it'd better right? But alas, no dev to port it for xsp. Same is for Firefox. As @Levered said it'll take a lot of time to get updates from the op if it gets ported

I'm curious, what are you guys 'eager' to see this?
The reason for no release is due to camera. From what I can tell the camera blobs depend on some Android specific parts which will never be part of FxOS (of course).
Unless this is solved then I will probably not release this for Xperia SP as nobody will use it without a functioning camera.
I'm considering getting Xperia E1 to continue this project as this hardware is better supported in FxOS and it also looks like the camera blobs do not have this limitation.

You caused it lol by posting this and showing a video everyone got all excited also you could just release non working build like many devs do with their custom ROMs: on some phones the phone might never have working wi-fi on custom ROMs (desire c fixed after about a year of tinkering) or if you check out the HTC one x custom ROMs they have a lot of stuff broken too!

No way, missing camera (and bluetooth) are missing features too big to warrant a release.
Besides, would anyone really permanently switch from Android to FxOS on Xperia SP if I fixed these two issues and released it? I'd bet money on it that people would use it for a couple of hours maximum, then realize they need the Google services that push all notifications to the phone.
(FxOS doesn't have push notifications for most things, pretty much everything has to be reloaded / refreshed manually, even syncing contact data.)

tested on older device..
I have already tested Firefox OS on my older Xperia E Dual device.. it kinda sucked.. I didn't like the way it felt and it was laggy and super slow.. maybe it is better here in XSP

I guess I don't understand either. Aosp has been on Bacon for a while now. Tesla is using aosp nexus 6 base. It's tweaked out and supports layers but built on aosp base. Is this something newer?

But hey, maybe, just maybe, we'll be next? Though I'll probably wait anyway....See what sort of bugs are present and whatnot.

Actually the only ones it shows NOT in testing and still in Developement are the Note 4, Note Edge and tab 2. All others are complete or in testing.

Within the NEXT 2 WEEKS MM goodies will be delivered.
{This is a guess on my part and in no way implies I have a inside source named Frank who tells me all this stuff a month or two in advance. Frank did NOT tell me last month that first the Sixes would see the update followed closely by the N6 with about a 2 week break then N4. He also didn't tell be the the Note 6 has 6 GB of RAM. This is all just figments of my imagination.}

I think we can all agree that Samsung skips the testing phase and just pushes out whatever they developed, bugs and all.
Actually it was worse with my nexus. Official builds were basically Beta until CM or other device cleaned them up.
