Hi,
I have been starting to look for information about a JellyBean 4.2.1 official firmware from Samsung and I tought it might be a good idea to share the information in one place.
So far i have found that Samsung said that they will release a 4.2 firmware for some devices including our S3 Mini but it will be the last update it will get.
The S3(I9000) will get this update as well but unlike the mini it will also get Key Lime Pie in the future.
S3(I9000) already got a leaked firmware!

Wish we had such a leak.
Expected New enhancements:
Improved Ripple effect on Lockscreen
New Android 4.2.1 Lockscreen with widgets
Daydream (Settings>Display)
New Additions in Notification Center
Notifications are more actionable
Voice Command (Let’s you control various parts of the phone using voice commands)
Quick Settings Tiles Layout
for me the biggest feature i'm looking for is the "Quick Settings" tiles layout feature(trigger by two finger swipe from the top)
but! if Samsung implemented this great feature why did they keep the regular quick settings in the notification window? it take space for no reason in my opinion but i'm sure we will be able to get rid of it...
Anyhow, hope to see a leak or official firmware soon, if you have any more information to add pleas do
Will it also contains some stuff (camera 360°, sound&shot, smart pause,...) from SGS4?

I think not... and google photo sphere is also not in the leak.
so let's wait for CM 10.1. I hate Samsung! It just a software feature. must be very easy to add features of they do it. What I like is the photo sphere camera
im also looking forward for the new 4.2 update,especially i want the ripple effect back since samsung for unknown reason removed it with the last 4.1.2 update....hopefully it will come soon enough

I also expecting the 4.2 but its a little disappointing to to have further official updates .... I think we must count on our selves to port the future android ver.

someone said after it disabled, battery draining is much slower. Maybe Samsung disable it because of battery life.

well,if it drains battery you could always disable it...why to remove it from the features in the first place when u can disable it? the ripple effect got me into buying this phone instead of a similar spec htc or sony(which both were less expensive)...
so they should get this feature back for non-heavy users like me..to be honest i didnt see any difference in battery drainage with this stupid locker thingy now...
and its not fair to remove a feature when it is there when you buy the phone...how about you buy the new S4 which has dual camera recording/shooting and after a month samsung updates it and removes that feature saying it drains battery,when u can simply not use that

Oh well I don't know if that can disabled... but yes, the system needs to ready the effect fastly. I think yes it drains battery.
But you are right too, if it can be disabled, why they remove it...
Will rooted minis have access to this update? Acording to the update system my phone was modified so I dont get access to this feature.

well, your device status is custom. use "Triangle Away" app from chainfire. Free in his thread on XDA. just search. Then perform a factory reset.
If you have rooted mini, just wait couple more days after release to custom roms.
Not sure why samsung removed the ripple effect. It is kinda cool stuff.
You can get ripple effect back with 4.1.2 update. Aslong as you are rooted and have cwm.

exactly.
someone on a video on youtube said "you can expect it to be released after the S4 will come out, don't expect it sooner"
which make sense since the S4 will be released with 4.2
well according to gsmarena: "Exp. release 2013, April 26th"
so i'm guessing we should see an update in a month or so...
Ya that's right I agree with you. When I used Wonder, the galaxy SIII was coming. a month after it, I got the latest 2.3.6 update from Samsung for Wonder which contains "face unlock". face unlock in gingerbread. That time, that feature only in ICS.

Both were disabled by samsung, and smart lock only works with trusted devices

I don't understand why Samsung would disable lollipop features
I don't think so... I didn't find any option to enable them
and plus i cannot connect my moto360 simply my bluetooth doesnt detect the watch...
You have to reset your watch brother. Then you will be OK. But that's so stupid that Samsung would disable these stock Lollipop features WTF Sammy?!

I think they thought that those features are too much bloat and they had to make space for their own bloat..looking at you Private Mode and Knox.

I hope theres a way to activate those features back... It sucks, i was really looking foward for smart unlock.
And i hope they release soon the s5 GPE
What about the Tocuhwiz theme sistem that was leaked, where is that?

Hey guys. I 'm looking to buy the Note 4 and I have some quick questions .
1)I remember when it first came out, that the Snapdragon version had the option in Google Now, for "Always On" listening, even when the screen is off. Is this option still available? Does the Exynos Version of the Note 4 supports this function?
2)Which version is more stable and has the best support here on xda, not so much on the regard of custom roms, but on the regard of mods etc?
Thanks a lot
1. Idk
2. About custom rom snap better
About mod all same

1) It works. Open google settings activate Always On. Now an assistant starts for downloading FPSV background accoustic model. Download it and follow all further steps. To start google now instead of s-voice you could use xposed module HiGoogle.
I don't have the device yet but I'm planning on buying it. Without root, it doesn't open google now out of the box as it used to?

No need to root, there's S for Switch Voice in the playstore. It's working perfectly without root. Using it instead of xposed HiGoogle, too.
Great. Do you have the Exynos version?

We know there are work in progress to port CM 12 on T810 and T710 but none for T815 and T715
So those like me with T815 or T715 or ... that are looking for CM for their device can post their request in CyanogenMod Forum request page
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/116361-samsung-galaxy-tab-s2/
Yes; even without phone fuctions is ok for start. I see note 4 exynos got decent cm13 now; I hope no impossible to give it for tab s2 lte. Would be great
Hey, I'm new to this, but I want to give it a shot to try a port for the T715.
I think it should be no problem to make a build without modem support.
So my plan would be to use the source of the T710, if @CTXz allows me to use his sources.
Next I want to try to integrate the modem/ RIL sources, but don't expect too much! I'm completely new to android development and this will be my first project doing myself.
Just did some compilings and ports, but never to new unsupported devices. Maybe with some help it will be possible for me.

That is a very tuff question to answer in just one post and depends on particular preferences. My advise is to Google: Cyanogenmod and TouchWiz.

It seems the main issue is battery and camera (quality).
i think i messed my t817v. i rooted using odin, and cannot figure out what to do next. it tries to install but gives error message, also my tab wont charge, and when hooked into odin it keeps "adding then removed" over and over again... now i have a tablet that does not work.
any help on this would be awesome.

I would love that!
I also posted a device request at the CyanogenMod Forum.
What you always lose with CM is Bluetooth aptX support for higher quality Bluetooth audio, since they have no licence. And since now there is official MM for the S2 and it - with enough free storage and 3 GM of RAM and root available - really doesn't profit any more from a "slim" ROM than earlier devices did, can anybody point me to a real advantage of CM?
For me CM was never about storage, but about control. As far as possible (for I am no programmer) I want to decide about the rights apps have and don't. It starts with being able to delete them and goes on with being able to restrict their access rights. As far as I remember such privacy guard things are much more easier to accomplish with CM.

My TAB s2 is my first Samsung device.... ( other android devices being nexus 7, xperia z2 / z3, moto g 4G ) ...... I love the tablet but I must say the draw of a supported CM ROM would be the look / feel of stock android and the way the system behaves. Whilst with a rooted device you can remove bloatware, the system itself does not change. All of my other devices have been stock or only lightly skinned....and basically stock once you swap out the launcher.... so I have come to like that. I do find touchwiz to be a little in my face and I do notice the system intrusions a little...... a personal thing of course and I am not complaining as I made the decision to buy it knowing full well what Touchwiz was... but the hardware in the tablet and the price was the draw-card (got the WiFi version here in Aus the first month on sale for $540 ... in comparison, the Nexus 9 was circa $700 and the Ipad Air 2 64gb was $730). My nexus 7 2013 runs MM with less and smoother than the TAB s2 runs LP. I could only imagine what it could do with an ASOP ROM once the bugs were fixed.
Could it be due to a defect usb-port?

Do u know the difference between WIndows Phone/iPhone and Android, that's the kind of comparison u can use between Stock and CM.
Stock is the cute "little" thing with mostly everything that u may need ready to go.
CM is the smaller in size, much faster and with options to do almost anything u could think in a device.

Was this ever fixed?
Why does the SM-T815 run in 32bit mode, even under CM13?
The app looks better.
Anyone?
I believe it's pretty much the same except for that wide angle option.
I don't think we can use it on our N9's. I'd love to use it for that color pop selfie focus thing

Speaking of ports I always found it funny that folks would go through hell to Port another phone's camera like gcam but won't try to poet and upgraded version of their own such as this
Seriously thats true... it's much easy too. Should we start a request to dev thread or something.
the Instagram mode would be the main reason to port for me. would the port be possible?
Do we know any dev to whom we could ask for
I mean the mods skim and monitor these threads supposedly but they probably won't tag the people they know probably know how to Port stuff
Still wondering about this one.... Like... Gcams cool but can we get a port of our own updated software? Please?
I couldn't agree with you more.. Please any mod reply to our concern here.

I have not done a port in years. Always use to port things for my own amusement and development but after playing with the S10 camera I actually wouldn't mind it on our device. I will give it a try but I can't guarantee anything.
thank you soo much for the reply. hope you do it.. and thanks again for your help.

The Galaxy 10's camera allows you to make videos in HDR10+.
So I'd like them to port to Note 9.
First of all the S10 camera has hardware specific features. Secondly, the Samsung camera app is a system app that integrates throughout Samsung's OneUI allowing it to be used from within several Samsung applications seamlessly. Without root or the ability to first remove the stock Samsung camera, you can't install another Samsung camera whether it's ported or not, it won't be allowed to install and be given the system-wide permissions that are required for the camera to function the way the stock N9 camera does. Porting isn't the issue. It's getting around root, kernel DM-verity which will automatically prevent the phone from booting once a system app is modified and it's signature no longer matches. From my experience with this, it's simply not worth the time or effort since we have locked bootloaders and no reliable root method or ability to flash a kernel with DM-Verity disabled which would allow sytstem apps to be modified and/or replaced such as the Samsung Camera.
