4.4 for SGS3

In the rooted community YES id say we will definately get it before xmas.
I had a working build of 4.3 like 2weeks after its launch. Now im on 4.3.1.
As for samsung pushing it for the s3, very different story.
I HOPE they will but if they do, itl take a long long time to get it even outside the US i think :-(

Anyway, maybe we wont want or need it? What "features" will it have that we cant get from Play? :)
 
I think Touchwiz would ruin all the good things Kitkat may offer. The 4.3 update is rolling out for some S3's and it doesn't look much different from 4.1

4.0-4.3 all looked pretty much the same in stock android as well.

4.4 is the first time in a long time that we're starting to get some visual changes
 
Oh yeah ive made an online bet that ill smash a full size kitkat in my face on youtube if we dont have a full functioning build of 4.4 on the s3 by xmas lol (like the Android Police dude did with the keylime pie.... but probably painful)
think im safe though :beer:

Lol, just make sure you do it flat instead of long-ways. It would hurt way more smashing it along the grain.
Hopefully we get the release so you can then just eat it instead.

mate I kind of hope they don't release it now lol. That would be hilarious.

And yeah, as Palmetto says, don't do it longways... that's jackass territory
 
Lol guys by fully functional i mean like their experimental 4.3 builds, everything worked (camera, calls, internet....) "STABLE".... NO!

lol i actually flashed an aparently "stable" (illusion 2.6) rom lastnight when i shoulda been sleeping, set it up perfectly and the camera is broken!!!

Ill draw up some ground rules nearer the time lol :-)

I'm using probam and its surprisingly decent, better then most roms I've used. And with the release of 4.3 coming out for most At&t phones I wouldn't expect an official 4.4 build from Samsung in a long time.

LOL
 
I'm stuck at 4.2.2 since there are no up-to-date Mali drivers for the S3 running 4.3. Unfortunately that means having microlags, particularly while browsing the web. Since I can't live with that, I'm not updating at all. Hopefully an official 4.3 build will be released by Samsung. At that point, I'll be upgrading to a newer AOSP based ROM.

As for the OP, don't worry, the custom ROMs developers community will bring us 4.4, not sure about Samsung, though.
