[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 Official LOLLIPOP Update!

Hi all,
I just need to know when Samsung will update Galaxy Note 3 (N9005) to Lollipop?!
ANY NEWS ?!

If there would be any news, don't you think you would've already heard about it?

Samsung refuses to give even a clue about a Rom release. If you ask they give the old response that the firmware is in testing and may be released at any time...

Well as Exynos devices (however only for Russia) have got the official update I don't think ours will be much further from release. Now whether I will upgrade to it or not is an entirely different question. I think the update should be available within one month from now.

Yes, officially. Here's the link, http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/42405/N900XXUEBOA6_N900SEREBOA6_SER.zip/
Do check for what version it is though, I mean 16 or 32GB, I don't know that. Again, that is for EXYNOS models only.

New update android lollipop 5.1.1

Hi,
I have searched everywhere but I have never seen a real answer to this question: is the 5.1.1 update bring the touchwiz update? What does it bring exactly?

^A little bit less lag when using the recent apps button. Otherwise: Nothing but numbers.

So it doesn't bring the tw update...

When Samsung update the freakin' Note 4 to 5.1.1 we may end up getting the new TouchWix UX or whatever it's called, but in all honesty I don't think that's going to happen (just my opinion)- we'll probably get the new TouchWiz with Android M.

The American variants have 5.1.1 and don't have the new tw and theme engine.
When we do get 5.1.1 it will make it a lot easier to port s6 and n5 features though so you will see lots of custom roms with the new launcher

Got to be honest I agree. Apart from the cm roms for the 910f development has just about stopped. I've tried miui on my old n2 but never tried porting it.
Hopefully now we have the n5 system development should start to pick up

This provides a quick list of changes and you can quickly see the key ones when comparing 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 these changes + updated Samsung apps and services.

Another question does anyone have experience with LG? How long does their phones take to get the new updates for example the G3 their previous flagship

Good question re LG updates

maybe ask that one in the LG forums!!!

5.1.1 for n910C is out in Poland.

My last phone was an LG, but was also an ATT phone. Updates took around 1-2 months to receive after other variants of my phone got their updates. But LG released their updates at about the same speed at Samsung IMO. However, I think they at least kept people up to date with ETAs.

Android 5.1.1 Lollipop final over-the-air (OTA) upgrade will be rolled out to Samsung Galaxy S2 handsets. It will arrive this year with security patches and performance enhancements.
Samsung Galaxy S2 devices, both under the mobile carriers and unlocked version, are expected to get the final OTA report on the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop upgrade in December or October. While it may appear unlikely for a few that a device run presently Jelly Bean will receive the upgrade, a lot of analysts are convinced of the likelihood as a few Samsung mid-range and older devices have been getting Lollipop's official software edition by a string of upgrades in September, iUSB Preface reported.

Maybe. I have CM 12.1 nightly and it is mostly OK, except that Bluetooth is still broken, like it has been in 5.x all the time. The last stable CM that has working Bluetooth is SlimSaber 4.4.4.

Will it be available for S2 HD? (SGH-i757M)
It would be cool becouse there is no lolipop ROM for our devise and all KitKats lag pretty much. Despite the devise has faster hardware than original S2. It's just lacks good software development, unfortunately.

Imho isn't true...I hope but i don't believe

It's so funny...
Sammy has not released 5.1.1 update for the previous "flashship" Galaxy S5, not corrected stagefright, and don't care about i9100 since several years...

Of course it is fake... They skipped 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0
Why would they release 5.1.1???

I don't believe it, its an old phone.. And we haveCyanongen 5.1.1 thanks to LA

Yes, we have, but unfortunately it does not quite work. Bluetooth is broken and phone runs out of memory in day or two.

Why?

Exynos variants can only get TW roms due to the source not being open. Snapdragon variants could but they have locked bootloader so not possible at the moment.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

People should be reverse engineering exynos as a time will come where samsung will only use exynos in the future. I'm actually amazed they haven't fully switched to tizen for phones but I'm sure that will also happen
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I have the Exynos version. Can someone please explain in detail, why I can't get it? I don't really understand, as I can see people making new roms for the s7. And, is there anyway to port/take the things and make a miui rom?

Making TouchWiz roms is just modding them.
Full custom roms like miui and cm need a source to work from to make drivers etc. No such source has been released from Samsung for the exynos. This is why there has always been cm on snapdragon as the source code is released for that as Sammy doesn't own snapdragon chips.
Hope this is clear. It's not hardout detail but it's the jist of it.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I had used a HTC One M7 three years back or so and fell absolutely in love with changing roms etc to suit my needs. Went back to my iPhone after that and have now shifted back to S7 Edge. I was unaware of all this source code etc and thought the modding scene would be the same. But here I am, stuck with a stupid TW od Sammy. Such a beautiful device and I cant unlock all its power. I feel like I am still using iOS as I cant modify my phone.
Planning on selling my S7E for something more open like a OP3.

I'd love this! Miui is far more pleasurable to use than the TW rom currently installed.. It makes me sad that the S7 is so locked up. Rip aosp && sammy <\3

hence why im selling the s7 and getting the alcatel idol 4s..cant beat the price and its gorgeous design

Even if it is fully unlocked.. MIUI patchrom only supports kitkat, S7 edge comes preloaded with Marshmallow so we have no drivers for kitkat.

Until they release MIUI 8 patchrom with MM base we can't do a lot. And even when they will do that, editing smali files + fixing bugs will take "some" time too.
Note 4 has MIUI patchrom cause it's first android was 4.4 which gave them kitkat bootloader.

Install one UI 2.0 on Canadian s10+

Hi there.
Is it possible to install one UI 2.0 beta on Canadian version? If yes, how to do that? Thanks.

A reminder that the phone has Snapdragon as the US models, but they have the G975U and mine is G975W.

I am also wondering the same thanks for asking the question

Yes - You CAN install the US One UI Beta v2.0 with Patched Odin - You need to Flash the US One UI V1.0 (Pie) First with Patched Odin & Then adb sideload or apply from sd card in Stock Recovery the One UI Beta v2.0 zips ?

I'm running it (One UI Beta v2.0) - There's a few things to figure out - Mostly with some of the apps that I use - But it's quite stable - Only thing that I really miss is Substratum - But I'm sure it will come eventually ?
BUT - It's probably a good idea to Factory Reset BEFORE you Flash the US One UI V1.0 with Patched Odin - I DID have an issue the first time I Flashed it & Factory Reset after you are on the US One UI V1.0 - Bed you apply the One UI Beta v2.0 zips from Recovery - There's 3 in total as of today.

Hey thanks for input, what carrier are you running and did you notice issue in signals after switching to American variant firmware?

Check this thread, see if you meet the requirements, i wouldn't bother with beta, as Stable offcial version is now released.

You can Download the stock Canadian firmware with Sam or Frija - As for the links to the One UI Beta - They're not some that I can share unfortunately - But Search on XDA for the links to the "U" Builds - That's what I'm using & You need to Flash the Canadian CSC AFTER you have Flashed all the US Firmware - Starting with the US One UI V1.0 Pie Firmware & then the US One UI Beta v2.0 (Betas 1 through 7)?

Thanks. I started with BSI4 from USC (csc). Now applying the betas (7 of them).
So once I finish with all the betas, then I should use Odin Patched to apply the Canadian CSC. Is that right. Also do I restore to factory after each installs. I know I am asking few question, but it helps to feel more comfortable.

Yes - You can apply the One UI Betas from Recovery - (Apply from sd card) & Once you are on One UI Beta v2.0 (Beta 7) - Flash the Canadian CSC with Patched Odin - Yes you will have to Factory Reset - So Backup with Smart Switch before you Flash the Canadian CSC - I Backup to the sd card in the device & not to Smart Switch on my computer fwiw -
You can use Patched Odin to Flash the Canadian One UI V2.0 Stable once it's available - I Factory Reset BEFORE & After Flashing the Stable Release (that's what I did on my S9+ when I was Flashing the US One UI Beta v1.0 last year) ?

I'm quite honestly amazed we are getting it at all in Canada before the end of the year. And on Telus to boot. I haven't messed with the Beta myself but I've heard the most recent release is quite good. I'm still on Pie myself so I'm looking forward to the OTA.

Yes the Beta is remarkably good & zero issues with Beta 7.. I don't know if there's much more that can be done with the Beta to make it better than it is already - I enjoy Flashing the Betas - Because with the Locked Bootloader - There's not much else we can Flash ??
