Sweet.I'm one of the few who actually likes the new touchwiz and the features have really grown on me.

I agree. I came from sense and touchwiz is much nicer imo

This I'm interested in!
I personally like the TouchWiz interface but also really like Jellybean and a smooth functioning Google Now

Keep hearing end of August so this looks promising. Also no one who's using the beta build mentions a speed increase. We all can assume its going to have a huge speed increase like on the Nexus.

:laugh: Yea, hopefully Samsung can tell Verizon to move it with this. I'll be surprised if a update doesn't come out before to fix any issues or if the JB update will include them. This phone is great but, their are a few issues I hate. One being the music popping.

Wait so if this comes out for the INT varient is it really that hard for developers to just transition it over to our verizon model?

I was hoping they'd add a couple unified widgets to it with the update.
I love this phone (features, screen, battery), and Touchwiz isn't as bad as people make it out to be..... but..... Is it too much to ask that they add a contacts widget (so that I don't have to use a different syncing app) and a social feed widget that go along with the email and calendar widgets? I miss having a unified feel across the board like on sense. It seems that no matter what widgets I download and install from the market, they look horrible next to Samsung's calendar widget which I've grown to like a lot.
That's really my only gripe on an otherwise great phone. Still looking forward to seeing what JB brings.

Ha that sound's about right. But I think that since we have the unlocked bootloader , devs might be able to get it to us before verizon. IDK.

I'm looking forward to this. I'm also one of those people that like TouchWiz. Way better than the motoblur I had one my droidx.

Ive become dependant of the smart alert feature, somi definitly wouldnt mind a port haha

Probably not hard at all, especially since we can unlock our boot loaders now.

I don't mind TW either but at the same time I loved the pure OS feel of ICS on my GNex.

There international GS3 runs Exinos 4412. The use variants run MSM8960. Could be decently hard to get full hardware support.

I agree, the direct call was great. I also liked that you can take a screenshot by swiping your hand over the screen. And the little notification that there's a missed notification when picking up (causing a short vibrate). The missed notification one allowed me to turn off the LED all together and use that to let me know there was something on the phone

And throttling, taking good old plans away, "droid" crap, Update's that brake flash player on 4.0 NOT 4.1 and modding the phone so that it asks for wifi 24/7/365/the rest of time.
I was really pissed at them before and now getting better some what. I hope that I can drop my AT&T line some time, but that's less likely now becuase I get very good "4G" or H+ (3-4 out of 4 bars every were there) at were I work with 5Mbs+ DL vs 1-3 bars of verizon "3G" as slow as sprint like 500kbs slow.( That's with both my razr and now my S3 by the way)
Any way flash player better still work or I will likely be going to WP8 for some of flash player to work. ( never did think that was going to happen. LOL)

After using a GNEX for the past 6 months, I am actually loving TW. I was running a TW theme on JB to make it look like an S3 but you know what, it still wasn't an S3. Now I have a TW theme and it actually is an S3 : )

Is it true? Key Lime Pie?

Hard to swallow that they'd be releasing a new version of Android already. Maybe a feature update but a whole new base OS? If they want everyone to get up in arms about fragmentation again this would be the way to do it.
New Nexus phone, on the other hand: that's just what I've been waiting for. Take my money, Google.

And how long did it take them to drop jelly bean source after official ICS started hitting devices? Seems more or less like its on schedule to me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Well Jelly Bean wasn't such a significant upgrade over Ice Cream Sandwich (compared to gingerbread -> ics). So I would expect google release a whole new base hopefully with easier porting capabilities. There hasn't been much rumours over key lime pie so we don't really know what to expect.

Probably not.
No reason to fool anyone with that. If they went to 5 people would be pissed. Fragmentation is seriously a problem.

4.2 ROMS

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?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

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:

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

Well, Samsung has finally announced the list of phones that will get 4.4 and the S3 is on the list. Now we just wait for Verizon to send it out to us.

All of the AOSP roms are on stable versions of 4.4.2 by now. Unless you love VZW bloat go check one of those.

Doesn't help those that took the 4.3 OTA. I agree that 4.4.2 AOSP ROMs are rounding out very nicely. Although TW has the benefit of all the phone's hardware working correctly.

Could we keep this thread limited to talking about Verizon and Samsung bring 4.4.2 to the S3 and not arguing about different ROMs. If people want to talk about different roms then they can go to the other threads for that. Thanks!

If Sprint rolled 4.4.2 out to the S4 already then I would guess Verizon will soon too. Then say another month and Verizon could roll it out for S3 in April or May. That's just my uneducated ghess
