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:

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.

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......

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

At the moment They would have to make a major change in their policies before the phone could be released in the US. The GPL will need to be upheld and until that happens if you want one you will have to order one from China

I just got one this week via China. Its really hard to get. They've just sold 500,000 in 24 hours and run out of stock. I doubt they will be coming to the rest of the world any time soon until they have satisfied Chinese domestic demand
Comes with stock MIUI - did an OTA update a couple of days ago. Build quality and spec is amazing for what I paid for it.
Xiaomi are offering owners the chance to beta test Android 4.0.3 (non MIUI). Not many manufacturers would take this approach

The only reason apple updates for so long is because it has literally like 6 devices to update. HTC has like 30+, all with diffrerent RIL, screen sizes, ram, processors, and carriers.

Android 4.1 is a stupid simple update from ICS. It isn't all that different and a lot of stuff will carry over. The developer's well get 4.1 running as soon as they can, if they can. The reason we don't have ICS is because we don't have a RIL yet. That should come with the first ICS leak.
If Apple's release schedule is superior then I think it's time for you to go buy an iPhone.The dev's are already pretty stressed out about this, and they do all their work for free. You honestly don't have the right to demand anything.
If you want the latest updates immediately after they come out, you should have bought a Nexus device.
Also, Cyanogenmod isn't the only AOSP build out there, and there are many better ones. I'd research into most of them, since the active CM developers for the Tbolt are working with 7, not 9(which is ICS based) it could be a while.
I also hope that your american comment was not serious, but it doesn't matter. The damage is done. Attitudes like that are the reason that a lot of other nations look down on the US and consider the citizen's ignorant and stupid.

what i am saying is that it is stupid how long it takes from the time google/moto releases the code to it gets to us on our phones. Even the sprint nexus s took over 6 months to get out.... why cant it be quick like apple is all i am saying since they too have many devices to support fromt he 3gs, 4, 4s and soon the 5.
and when the world has a problem who do they call? THE USA! True Power is not given... It is TAKEN.... J.R. Ewing
The thunderbolt is an older device now, it has a single core CPU and there are now phones that are quadcore with better screens and hardware. If you don't like the selection of roms our developers have made available to us, like you said, you're an American, you have the free choice to get another phone or learn to port jellybean to the bolt yourself.

Secure maybe, in theory everyone wants a secure system. Whether its your phone, laptop or front door, but not everyone knows what secure is.
As for the updates, the majority of Verizon customers (99.99999999%) don't even know what JellyBean is let alone what this Premium suite upgrade is.
I agree that we likely won't see this update or any other from Verizon anytime soon but very few people care about the updates and even fewer are willing to leave their carrier over it.
For those of us that do care I'm sure it will be ported over hrs after release (if it hasn't already happened)
The premium suite will be $19.99

Well, we don't have any 4.1.2 US variant builds yet (even leaks), so it's hard to say whether or not we will get the Multitasking built in. What is likely though, is that we will get the framework changes that support it (even if Samsung doesn't provide the actual application to do it). In that case, it will be a simple port to get it up and running.

I'm pretty sure we'll get it. There's lots of stuff in the framework that's associated with the multi-view feature such as images and XML files so it's a safe bet that it'll come to the US variants.
Regarding multi view, scott on the clean rom forum said its definitely in the framework, but its "turned off" in almost 180 something files, he said it would be painstakingly time consuming , byt someone with the time and knowledge could definitely turn it on.

4.1.2 is unlikely. Support docs have started shipping out, and K3 is the official Verizon build #, so the K3 we're seeing around here should be what's pushed out via the OTA when it starts:

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.

Ditto. Waiting for big red and ota's is like waiting for wet paint to dry in a moist room.

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

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.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is great with 5.0?

Nobody knows yet. Hasn't been announced, but hell... Any update is a good update in my book. Even if the official OTA sucks, our devs can turn it into something awesome.

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:

Seems like a lot of speculation at this point.
