So everyone knows that today was the official announcement of android 4.2 and the devices that will have them pre-installed. How long do you guys think it will take to get a ROM up for the GS3?

Well depends when the source is released then complied and bug tested and posted here. I would say 2 days to 2 months depending how much it has to be tweaked to run right.
Samsung has a headstart probably because of its galaxy nexus series phones,so probably other galaxy series phones will get it fast too?? i would say less than one month from now.SGS 3 is still one of Samsung's flagship models still though. :good:

You forget we are on Verizon though haha. Verizon slows down updates like nobodies buisness.

Offical ota? Probably late 2013 or something stupid like that. I have no clue why Verizon sucks ass with updates but its annoying. iirc they released JB for the Nexus like 2 months after every other carrier had released theirs.

Verizon has strict update certification policies. Don't see that changing anytime soon.

Did you mean big news? Yes, very much so, you'll probably see 976 threads labeled "4.2 source code released!"...........and then 985,456 people flaming them because there are 975 too many threads about it, lol.
Regardless, you'll probably see some AOSP merges in roms including 4.2 within a week of then, I'd be willing to bet. Whether they're stable or not is a whole new question......

yes

I agree with tech as soon we can get our hands on it someone will have the success to port it, but it won't be anything like a regular rom until the source is released. I'd say it shouldn't take no more than a few weeks for us to see 4.2

They are famous for their time consuming ROM testing and evaluation process for delivering a perfect device that we have to root and ROM to get it to run like it should !

Sadly, that is always the case.

That's good news. If it comes out on one of the US variants a port will bring it to the other versions.
Either way it's good news all the way around whether if T-Mobile, Verizon, or At&t get it first.

I honestly don't care if Verizon doesn't let us get it. I'd rather run custom ROMs anyway.

Correct me if I'm wrong...but isn't it easier for devs to develop on official OTAs rather than porting something over?

Actually it is easier to develop from AOSP. It is also easy to port from the same phone but different carriers. The difficulty comes from porting from one device to another.

We don't all want AOSP. We know its easier because devs get full control of the ROM, unlike having to deal with an issue on touchwiz.

Well that's good, makes the wait for my contract to be over and getting the GS5 much shorter. I hope we get an official version but first I want the real 4.1.2 with all those god damn features the worthless new update doesn't have.
can't wait
years itypsva
This is gonna be epic in my opinion Rumors were being thrown around saying that there is a possibility that we (GS3 users in general) could get Smart Stay for like videos as seen with the GS4 and maybe Smart Scroll too.

5.0 is a major O/S upgrade for Android called Key Lime Pie (currently we're Jelly Bean 4.x). Here some details what's in the new Operating System:

Not sure if this thread is necessary but Verizon moved the launch date a whole week earlier to May 23. That means a whole week less to wait for bootloader unlocking

Yea just googled, multiple websites confirm it. No surprise considering AT&T rushed their launch. Hopefully this means Dan will release before the end of may cause as it stood before, we weren't gonna see the unlocked bootloader till at least a couple days into June
I hope this means faster bootloader unlock

Yep, I've already downoaded the Canadian TWRP (since ATT doesn't have one yet) and Slim Bean 4.2.2.
Just waiting on the hack to be released. Dude isn't holding it back for just nothing I'm sure. Prolly is making sure it works consistently on all phones before releasing.
The thing about software hacks... just because it works on one model of phone, doesn't mean it won't break another phone of the SAME model. Stuff like that happens all the time.
Btw, thanks a lot. Now I have three freakin threads on Bootloader that I have to keep refreshing all day.

Dude that really sucks you can't get decent signal on sprint in your area. Sooner or later vzw and at&t are going to realize that their bs is driving their customers away in droves. It really has a special way of pissing me off knowing I dropped all this money on these phones and I can't even do what I want with them. It's almost like going to a furniture store and buying a recliner and then that store owner dictating certain times I'm allowed to sit in that recliner, what times I'm allowed to put the foot rest up, what I'm allowed to do while sitting in it, and then being forced to sit in it with the store owner at the same time, and then being forced to wait a year to be able to buy a new slipcover for it.
That's just my example of comparing to vzw and their locked bootloaders, insane bloatware, ridiculously long-delayed updates and ridiculous push notifications, (vvm anyone?).
I really hope you get the dev edition if you can't switch and then I hope you torture the ever living hell out of vzw with it!
Best of luck to you my friend!
