Excuse my ruff language but this is complete bull****.

And where is this official list? That picture in the posts above is just nothing. The fact that they considering update this doesn't means that we will get it. Even on sammobile.com they say this:
"However, just because Samsung is considering the update doesn’t mean the updates will actually come – the Galaxy S4 mini is one device that is most likely to get the update, but for the other devices on that list, there might not be much hope, if only because Samsung’s heavy and bloated TouchWiz skin might negate the work Google has done on reducing the memory consumption on Android 4.4 KitKat."
So no more updates for ACE2. That's the big bold fact.

...but does it matter now Rox and others are making CM11?

To be honest - if KitKat on Ace 2 will ever be released and will be full of bloatware, such as JB, then I prefer unofficial CM releases. At least they're smooth and very fast and they don't kick off the launcher from memory as JB did, when I tried to go back from any app.

additionally Samsung original firmwares are very unwieldy. I don't think so new original firmware fast, reliable and useful. Cause Samsung accomplish the break 4.4 KitKat fast and reliable key points.

Yes but then we have more 4.4 blobs for custom rom and maybe kernel source 3.4.X. I don't believe, but if samsung release kitkat for Ace 2, we have some benefits from it.
I hope one day samsung release stable jb 4.1.2 like old 2.3.
MG2 is good, but it's not stable like GB. (freezes, UI lag, games lags).

i wish someone could make fully working AOKP 4.4 for my Ace II

I'm having a quick dabble with Rox's CM11, it seems pretty darn smooth on first impressions. However I need my camera so I'll go back to 10.2 for now, great work though

Even if samsung release any JB update (up to 4.2.x 4.3.x) or even a kitkat after having such messed up 4.1.2 I am not going to use them (well maybe as a base for further flashing). At this momment, custom roms are only option here. Luckilly, we have some skilled rom builders here so we should be fine for now

Hey, KitKat is built specially for low-end devices, so it would definitely be faster...

And you want a Single Core phone that cant really handle 4.0/4.1 to have 4.2?

Also, you have a Galaxy Y by looking at your posts..
Why do you need 4.2 on a Galaxy 3. If you havent noticed they are pretty different devices..

As for the Galaxy 3 getting 4.2; having owned this phone once upon a time and spending time browsing these forums... If it can't handle 4.0/4.1 perfectly its not a good idea to ask for 4.2...

I'm not so sure about that. Correct me if I'm wrong but JB is easier to port, and more stable than ICS on most phones. I don't know if JB is easier to port than GB, though.
Either way, most people seem to have moved on. Support will diminish rapidly, if it already hasn't. It's sad.

may we fight for any future android os but fact is that till kernel 3.4x and open source driver for fimg 3dSE project doesn't get completed our phone will be incomplete as this two are vvvvvvvvvvv.imp projects for Samsung galaxy 3 i5800/i5800 .
Our Phone was incomplete the moment we were told that we wouldnt get official Gingerbread..
lets face it, if marcellusbe stops developing, this phone is screwed.....
There are some other Rubens , Sad , hillbeast, kyrillos13, Michał12 , tom3q and team ...... but i think The Samsung G3 Apollo i5800 Forum ..... Is becoming like Nintendo ....
Please Devs Give Us ... the 4.2 AOSP or Aokp and we will not bordering you any more ....
I agree there are others, and their work is valuable, Hillbeast just said he may make another Froyo rom, kyrillos13 just updated his, but things are a lot different from how it was a year ago, people move on and new phones are released, the g3 is a good little phone, jb worked so much better than I thought, but its at the end of its development life.
I have apps that will only run on gb, and other apps that will not run well because of the lack of memory, while my wife had a galaxy mini, and it runs gb without a problem, official upgrade

Jellybean 4.2 doesn't even work on the Galaxy S2 because Google have locked down the way the system controls graphics to stop Samsung releasing terrible old broken drivers and libraries. If the Exynos 4 isn't going to play nice, I wouldn't be expecting the S5P6442 in our little G3 would either. Don't hold your hopes up.

Hahaha... Nintendo.. :laugh: Nice one..
i think we are expecting too much from dev if you also want to run 4.2 please guy be practical enuf as only too android os that should be complete are gb and jellybean as this are only two project were dev are able to run most of thing running so keep your finger cross and wait and watch or help dev at least to finish pending project even if u get latest wat use of that if your not get complete experience of it
Mhmm. As the others said, its all or nothing. Its a bit... Impractical to ask devs for a 4.2 release purely because a phone can only be taken so far in terms of OS. No doubt 4.2, while being an incremental update to 4.1.2, changed quite a bit about Jelly Bean. And if Google really has locked down on graphics control in 4.2, then the G3 will have a hard time...
Maybe things will change and a 4.2 update will come through for the Galaxy 3. But until then... Don't get your hopes up too high.

[Q] Should you buy gingerbread phone?

I have a very tight budget. The android phones with ginger bread are cheaper than ICS or jellybean. Even i cannot pay for enters level ICS phone.Should i buy ginger bread phone.I have heard developers will stop supporting apps on it.I am planning to use this phone for 2 years?
If your not wanting to spend much get a galaxys1 which comes with gingerbread it was a flagship phone back in its day and has a great community its also supported officially by CyanogenMod which means you can install 4.2.2

But still it's a pretty good solution in this situation.
I would also agree about the idea of buying something like a Galaxy S1 and installing CM10.1 .. its better then buying any GB device with no dev support and no updated android versions.
But still it's a pretty good solution in this situation.

[REQ] Port "Hyperdrive for Galaxy S3" To Blaze

Can someone port the Hyperdrive RS11 Build or latest version ROM to the Samsung Blaze T769? Hyperdrive is just a ROM for the Galaxy S3 that gives the S3, S4 features that aren't on the S3 yet. If someone could please port this, I'll be happy.

No, this is for when you create or port a ROM for us to flash. Also, considering Hyperdrive is 500mb and made for the S3, probably not going to happen.

Like said above, use the general forum next time. About the ROM... It is touchwiz based on the official 4.1.2 update for the S3.. It's a really nice ROM(of course in my opinion). I saw multiwindow as one of the features and again in my opinion I think that the blaze's screen is tiny for multiwindow. It's a big ROM. 1.59 GB.. We don't even have that much. If you'd like, port it yourself.. Some of my team members have ported mW to certain devices and we'll see if mW is possible for the blaze..

Why the i9500 has no AOSP ROMS

You may have noticed by now that the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 has no AOSP ROMS, that means no CyanogenMod, AOKP or Paranoid Android.
While the Qualcomm i9505 is basking in Google edition ROMS and Nightlies of CyanogenMod, the i9500 is in the dark.
The only ROMS available for the Exynos powered i9500 currently are Touchwiz based, and are essentially only modified versions of Samsung's own stock ROM. :crying:
There is a reason for this...
You see, to build an AOSP ROM developers need the phone's sources, in this case, devs such as those who work on CyanogenMod and AOKP need the Exynos 5 sources. The problem, Samsung isn't giving them out just yet.
Now back with the Exynos 4, Samsung promised to release the sources to give devs a fighting chance, what they ended up getting was incomplete, and almost useless. It took the developers two years to get something that half worked out of it!
I'm not saying we will never see non touchwiz based ROMS for the Exynos S4, mainly because it appears progress is already being made.
However, until the day comes where we see an AOKP ROM for the i9500, check out this ROM by doga.ozkaraca
It's a heavily modified version of touchwiz with the only noticable Samsung feature being Settings.
Until next time,
Droidulation
I already have an AOSP Rom on my i9500 :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294176 Check this out, It should be available soon.
CM for I9500 is work in progress... Intervigilium is working hard on bring AOSP love to I9500.. I can see, we are like few weeks away from CM ROM (not stable but at least usable) on I9500..
It takes time but that's worth it

Omni ROM - hope our g3 gets some builds!

Hi there!
Hope you've read the xda portal post on Omni ROM....if not, just read it...
Many great devs similar to many of our great g3 devs have teamed up to create a new feature-rich, open source ROM.....the source code is available at github.....
I don't know if we'll get some builds of that.......maybe some in the near future or some time later....
We'll wait to see!
What do you think ??
