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.

What model are you on bro? Ive never heard of this :(
 
Yeah mate but i thought it was just coz ive worked to a worse signal area.
So whats the issue bro? Ive been ringing up Three complaining lol. A page will take ages to even begin loading?
P.p i reshared a rumour about s3 gettin 4.3 on G+ today... ill try find it. Think it was for the d2 american ones though...
