I'm not sure anyone knows exactly who is getting the update, since it hasn't even been released. I'd bet that there will be ROMs based on it though sometime after it is released. Edit: like the above poster we still haven't even been officialy updated to 4.2, then their is 4.3, so we have awhile to go.
How to root Jellybean 4.1.2 for Droid Razr HD
There are a few videos on how to do it but that is the one I used. Tomsgt123 has alot of great videos for the Droid Razr HD. :good:

Kit Kat to is reportedly being available for even older devices so I see no reason why it can't. Rumor is Google wants to get kit Kat to as many devices as possible.

I hate agreeing with rumors, because so often they are wrong. But, hypothetically, if it were available to older devices, a lot of carrier influence would have to be side stepped. Secondly, if it were that easy to get on older devices, CM would probably have a stable stock build fairly soon. At least that's what I hope. I have my device rooted and unlocked but I'm still on stock because of all the issues with 4.2 and 4.3 that I've seen. I'm really hoping Kit Kat changes that.

only hope that

Kit Kat 10.1

Well we still have no kk for the tab 3 10.1. This is the last Samsung tablet that I will buy. Can't get kk can't get a custom rom this is bull. Next will be a nexus we got screwed on this one will not happen again.

Kk from Samsung is not out for tab 3 10.1 wifi

It was released for the non wifi ones. I have already looked in development they got nothing but a couple of stock roms that are no good. I have tried them. I am talking about roms like cm based roms. They have nothing

Hahhahahahah.......very funny..Bro, go to sammobile.com and go to firmware section & type P5210 and you will see that Canada has recieved kitkat . Download firmware(1.3gb) and flash via odin. And about cm , cm11 4.4.4 is released . But It has some bugs and it cannot be used as a daily driver atleast for now!!!!!!!

Never mind completely over ya head. Thanks I know you all where trying to be helpful. But I was talking about kk that Samsung sends to my device not a Canadian version. I have had this for a year and there is not one stable rom. I want the kk that belongs on the tablet. Like I said nexus next time. I guess the wifi American one will be the last one. Lol

I am happy to see kk geting close. And even happier to have a group of friends that are giving 200% time to provide us what Samsung/Intel should have.
Never the less It is true Samsung and [email protected]#$%Ing Intel garbage had screw us all by no releasing a full Open Source than can be use to create CianogenMod or aosp. To make it worst Googles and Samsung new policies while implementing new updates is geting to a untolerated limit!
I too think this is the last device I purchase without first waiting for others report. Samsung lost my thrust.

I can't really see your point. As you know,the stock roms are bloated,slow and sometimes more unstable than the modded ones. As for the release for Kit Kat - Samsung seems to not really care for it's older devices,seeing how many more tabs they produced. Kinda strange to go out with a new version with the product every next year. To be honest, I think they should at least expand the lifespan of these tablets, It's not like they are really cheap or something. As for the hardware part of things,I think you should know that the 10.1 version is actually really different compared to the other two Galaxy Tab 3s, thus either making the release process slower since there are newer models on which they focus more. We should all be thankful that there are ambitious developers here and I'd even like to thank all of them for their hard work. For now - you should stick and help for the development rather than just wait. I hope I don't sound insulting or anything. I think that any help (bug reports,etc) would be appreciated.

Oh bro I am also talking about that only . See, there are different regions of every tablet. You must not be living in Canada. This tab has got 4.4 kk but In canada & not In your country. So , you will not be able to download kk by going to software update . You will have to download it from sammobile & flash it manually via odin . Please ubderstand this. I and a lot of other people are running Kitkat .

And additionally it is a very easy process to install the Canada version with Odin.
I am from Germany, have installed the Rom and so far no problems.
But for my opinion not a lot of differences to the former Rom.

on versions
@jason504
i believe any version will contain the same language support set, also version specificity only comes into play
with respect to cellular/gsm variants. for wifi only models it really doesn't matter. else there are still "after market"
methods for sorting out issues.

I do not see option to use ART instead of Dalvik
Do you know if thet's possible for the GT-P5210? or any possible workaround to do this?
Thanks!

i don't believe it exist as an option on the touchwiz rom, however on the cm11 test it is very crashy.

When I got this tablet I thought Yes since I have been flashing roms on my phone for years here is something else I can flash roms on and have fun. Boy I was wrong I know they have a couple of stock roms but they ran worse than my stock rom. So I unrooted and said I will wait for Samsung to update my tablet to kk. I have been waiting and waiting it's just a big let down. But you live and learn my phone is faster than my tablet so basically all I use my tablet for is chrome cast. To be honest with you I don't even know if I will get another tablet for what. It's easier to just grab my phone. That's why I love big phones.

Just curious, I understand going back to stock, but why unroot? How can you stand all that bloatware?

Even 4 yrs old Motorola Defy (+) is also getting Android 5.0 Lollipop port :silly: :angel:

Well i hope that android L will be accessible for Atrix2 this year, may be through unofficial CM12……

I am sure our wonderful A2 devs will bring the Android 5.0 on our Atrix 2 .
Even a years old 800 mhz single core OMAP driven Defy had got Android 5.0 then why not Atrix 2!

Not at all, in fact it's not compatible with flashing any rom after ICS, else you're sure to soft-brick. It's much older and unmaintained so it's virtually the last recovery we'd need for anything new.
Aside from that, I haven't done much about Safestrap since the last time. I've had a pretty busy week this week, and lately have been attending other matters so no sense in being impatient.

So Razr now have 4 LP ROMS but they are unstable I guess Edison is waiting for their stability

What about converting RAZR new safestrap to atrix 2? We could then flash rsdlite back to stock, install new safestrap, and port a 5.0 rom and flash? Suppose its obviously not that simple but an idea since 5.0 roms dont seem to work with bmm

5.0 Lollipop

Any Developers or people who's working or done with the lollipop 5.0 rom for infuse? I just want to experience the new material design.

They have said once beanstalk is ported they'd give it a go.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

I'm working on it, could be interesting if we can use this kernel on our device
https://github.com/hak86/android_kernel_samsung_aries
since infuse has 2.6 kernel and required a lot of changes to make lollipop

I am unsure about specs but you might visit the Samsung Galaxy player 4.0 and 5.0 forums, they are at least same gen devices and I saw lollipop is built on it.

Any progess?
Is there any progress on Lollipop for the Infuse? Still using mine. Thanks.

Lollipop is a ram eater. I tried it on the razrm and it didn't go well. Wound up reverting to kitkat. I'm sorry but at some point even if you can, you shouldn't and I think all devs are realizing this.

I think people should just run the latest that's available, or get a new phone. A Moto E is 3 times the phone the Infuse is, and can be had for $30 if you buy it at the right time. Plus it runs Lollipop out of the box. Methinks trying to run 5.0 on a 4 yr old device is near impossible.

Hell i haven't seriously used my Infuse in over 2 years, i just like to see just how much it can handle, I was a bit surprised when it took KK. Now just waiting to see if it can handle Lollipop.

Marshmallow - Guess the Date

As we all know Sept 29th the new Nexus models with Marshmallow will launch. For fun, what is everyone prediction on when we will see an official update to Marshmallow. My guess is Nov 6th.

21 days or less from code availability.
Moto X Pure Edition (Verizon)

Sept. 29. Mark my words ?

Halloween.

My guess is way before you can actually buy this thing in Europe...

How would rooted users install the marshmallow update?

11/10, that way my Nexus devices will be up to date while I ignore them for Fallout 4.

My guess is Thanksgiving. Keep us distracted with phone issues or turkey... One way or another we will pass out from the process...

4 weeks from when it is first available on a nexus device.

Sept 28th.

Beauty of an unlockable bootloader ... Return to stock, get OTA. Only potential "issue" is that TWRP/root for M may take a bit (not sure on that though as I'm no dev)
-OR-
Wait for one of the great devs to post a stock-rooted flashable ROM.

Absolutely! :good:

While I'm very excited for Marshmellow, as others have stated, I don'y think we will have to wait for the official rom to drop. There will be some awesome devs that port it to out devise from the Nexus devises long before it's officially available.

My guess you have to be pretty quick after release because unlike in previous years we no longer have to wait for carriers to approve the updates

3 weeks from code release...Based on how the lollipop rollout went for the 2014 Moto X. I do want to mention that this "update to marshmellow" we are all guessing will be within the month of Oct. will most likely be only a soak test.

If it's anything like my Moto G 2nd gen I ain't even got LP 5.1.1. Moto updates are just as bad as ever
