Do you think we will see a stock AOSP port of lollipop to the S4? I believe we have to wait for the GPE edition to get it then it can be ported? Just curious as lollipop looks really good and want to give it a try.. Even if things are broken its nice to get a running preview
I'm 100% sure we will get it. Because the GS4s are going to get the touch wiz lollipop update sometime next year.
Well there's this.. http://www.idigitaltimes.com/samsun...-date-update-build-lrx02e-seen-running-394128

ota 4.4 release for the g2 is q1 of 2014. q1 is the first quarter of the year, so before march i guess. i own a g2 right now. it is running 4.2.2 cleanrom right now, and its fast and stable (rooted). i dled 4.4.2 hellfire rom earlier and tested it a little bit, but went back to my nandroid of cleanrom for tomorrow. i will test it some more but i will likely wait for malladus or slimrom versions when they are abailable they will both be rock solid kitkat roms. it seems that development for this phone is starting to pick up. i think its a great phone. i'm on the vzw version. vs980. hope this helps.
-cheerio
Ive noticed a few WIP aosp roms for our S5's but they all either 4.4.3 or 4.4.4, why not base aosp on 4.4.2 because source codes are easier to obtain, be less bugs and most things should be fixed. Its only an idea, i would delvelop this myself but dont have the complete knowledge to do so... who agrees 4.4.2 should be the base?
We'll take whatever we get. 4.4.4 is the newest, so I'm sure everyone wants that. And developers don't like developing for outdated software.
But hell, if an AOSP 4.0 ROM came out I'd probably install it.
I saw a CM commit that someone's working on the S5 camera. I think the camera and GPS were the big deal-breakers, so it sounds like progress is being made.
As soon as there's a stable CM, hopefully the floodgates will open and I can get back on Liquid or PAC.
The cm camera and gps issues have been on going since the release of the S5 back in may, maybe just down grading to 4.4.2 would be the right idea after all most of the roms our for S5 are 4.4.2 anyways no one is compiling 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 roms at this moment unless its based of a non working CM, so go to 4.4.2 make a AOSP from that source and everyones happy its only an idea of a way forward
Camera still doesn't works even if you use AOSP 4.4.2 sources because Samsung doesn't publish the camera driver sources so it doesn't matter which Android (AOSP) version they use as a base because the CM devs still have to "hack" the camera until it works. One thing that maybe can help is an S5 Google Edition with stock android on it.

i also want aosp official for my s 5 octa core and after sometime i know we will have it so stay with fingers crossed :laugh::laugh::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Hi I've got maybe kinda dumb question... How long do you think will it take to build a ROM based on Android 5.0 sources after these sources will be available? (It doesn't have to be for our device just want to now how long it will take when the first mahdi, cm, pa, etc. based on Android 5.0 appears... ) Maybe 3 - 4 weeks? I have already forgotten how long took it last time...
I'm asking because my entirely repaired LG G2 had just arrived before I started writting this and I'm not sure if it's worth to flash custom ROMs based on kitkat...
On my old phone, which stopped getting updates after GB, it took about 2-3 weeks or a month-ish for the next android version to be flashable. So be patient, but I don't think it'll be too long, we have some great devs[emoji106]
Well just flash a kitkat ROM now. Since the official LG sources won't be avaliable before LG pushes the official Android L update to us (if it does), Android L ports (cm, pa, mahdi) will most likely be based on kitkat sources,
March, most likely. As it was with KK.
Edit: Meh, saw you're asking for official push from LG.

Hi everyone, I am not a developer, and I know this question is probably redundant, but I am wondering what is the closest you can get to stock android lollipop with the note 4 specific features. I understand roms are either based on stock android or touchwiz framework, and you have to pick one or the other, but I'm really torn, I have flashed 5.1 on both my S3 and S4 and I absolutely love it, I'm still waiting for the lollipop update from telstra for my stock note 4, but I think when it finally comes around I'm going to be disappointed that it's more touchwiz than lollipop. I guess my question is like I said before, how close can you get to stock lollipop but retain s pen, multi window, etc? Would it be possible to start out with a TW base and swap out all of the UI and apps for stock LP ones? I know I'm way oversimplifying it, I just really want the best of both worlds, I don't really want to root my note unless I can get as close as I can to stock lollipop with the note extras.

If you are not looking into rooting, I recommend Google Now Launcher. It is the most stock Android UI experience you can get on a nonnexus phone. Since it's just a launcher, you retain all your device features. If you are looking into swapping out all of the UI and apps from TW base to stock LP ones, however you will experience this error message everytime you exit out of an app: "Android.System.UI has stopped working", so I do not recommend that.

You're awnser lies amongst the rooted side flashing a tw rom that is aggressively debloated of apps even some essentials and using stock ones from google and then i guess theming the rom to look like a stock pure lollipop. I heard there are some nice alternatives for the spen usage and multiwindow i have tried some in the past on pure android on note 2 but the experience is nowhere near the stock apps from tw, regarding spen and multiwindow.

If you want to keep eveything, you will have to think about a launcher indeed. Goole Now Launcher will be the closest thing.
Google now launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
I would say when rooted, flash CM12 official, and use CM SPen addon, in combination with notebuddy for you SPen features. You will only lose the multiwindow (links down below).
Spen Addon: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.cmspen2

yeah but you still lose the epic camera quality.
as much as i dislike touchwiz and like cm12 i keep running on stock rom becouse the camera quality on CM based roms is just to bad.
if only there was a way to get the camera quality on a cyanogenmod rom it would be so awesome i wouldnt even care about the spen anymore
Hello everybody. Any chance for port Touchwiz from s7 to our s3? This ROM looks beautifull <3
I know kernel for touchwiz is hard to compile but we have good developers so they can try. I can pay for this rom and kernel. PRIV
First, we need working LP port of touchwiz that is funcional ;D
Hey there @LaweK,
What You are currently looking for is already available.
HyperRom -
Hands Down the best touchwiz rom for GT i9300,Im currently using it and couldnt be more satisfied.
However this rom is running on android 4.4.4, and not marshmellow, However the Android Version didnt affect me at all as it was impossible to guess that this rom is 4.4.4 due to the features and its UI, that almost completely mimicks the s7 marshmellow features.
Anyways, I Fully Recommend this Rom To Anyone who owns a Galaxy s3 and prefers the original samsung UI.

I don't like hyper-rom v6, I tested it two days and it was really buggy for me, android 4.4.4 is the past generation of android. I consider since lollipop is a different android so we need to work together to get a good lollipop or marshmallow tw rom for our device.

Hyper Rom is too slow :/ I like mm and lp because this roms was very fast

Well Different Opinions I guess, However HyperRom Was not at all buggy for me nor was it slow [Im also Still using it with no issues.]
Anyway There`s Also Another Touchwiz Rom Ive used Eclipse Rom Together With The Ultimate Marshmellow Mod. Just thought you should know, It is beautiful however proved to be more buggy for me.
Anyways I dont think we are to expect a Android Marshmellow Touchwiz Rom For The S3, Lets Face it This Phone is now 4 years old and we should be suprised on how much support it is still getting.
We Barely Have An Android Kitkat Touchwiz Rom, So we are to get a Lollipop Touchwiz Rom, before Marshmellow, So it Might Take Either a lot of time to happen or it may not happen at all.
Anyways CM13 and CM13.1 Is available right now that is with android marshmellow, So you can try that too if you want.

I once read that someone was porting lp 5.1.1 from a s5 rom. He said that it booted it with lots of bugs and it would not even be in alpha. I'm still searching for that forum I can´t find it . I'll give you a link when I find it :fingers-crossed:
Probably it willl be very hard to port S7 TouchWiz (too RAM consuming), it might be partially ported in future but I suppose it would be slow and buggy.
Can we solve the camera problem by upgrading s3 to s7?
