Just got this on my AT&T S.4. Pretty sure it's finally 4.4.4.
Update: still 4.4.2. Just a fix build I guess

Looks like it just a security patch update.... probably will break root. If that's important to you, proceed with caution.

I think the first device, wich gets 4.4 is note 3. But maybe they are just rolling out 4.2.2, because UBMI3 is now stable enough for everyone? But if we really get an update, I heard that the kernel maybe will be 3.4 :good:
i hope so too ...
right now with all the 4.3 issues on S3, I think that if we are ever going to get an upgrade, it will be directly 4.4 :angel:
There will be no such thing. 4.2.2. is the end of the road

Yep,obviously you are right @OurJerry i do believe the same. 4.2.2 is the last update for our device. No other latest Android version will be blessed to our device.

i don't think so
the S2 was shipped with 2.3.6 and then they get 4.0.4 and after that jelly bean so why would we only get 1 upgrade
Because. In the past the s 2 was Samsung's flagship device and so they have to keep the customers stay.

Although it is a probability that 4.2.2 maybe the last update for the S2 Plus, its quite unreasonable for them to do that considering the device coming out only in the beginning of this year, Most Android devices would get support for around 18 months after their initial release.. almost 12 months have gone, so it probably will be 6 months or something that they could release an update. But its likely that they might not. Who knows?
4.2.2 is th end

samsung has to support every phone for 18 months ... it is true see this
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/12/06...ace-3-galaxy-core-and-other-low-cost-devices/
..but maybe we are not geting 4.4 .. but i'm sure will get 4.3 update .. it is samsung guys ... the best in support .. i hope
i think will get 4.3 ..and we wont get 4.4 ... unless jb 5 ..released .. before 18 months expired ..
We will get most of the 4.4 goodies in all the ported roms, thanks to more devs for our phone.

Updating my android device

Hello, i currently have SGH-T769 and cyanogenmod version 10-20130623 nightly, android version 4.1.2. I've heard about cm11 and 4.4 android kitkat(are these 2 seperate things? or is cm suppose to replace android firmware version)If so, do i need to unroot to update my android?. I would like to update my phone with the latest updates and I do not know where to start, I am still pretty new to all of this and would like to get the most out of it without missing out on anything. Thanks in advance

CM11 is 4.4. To update to 4.4, just do the same thing you did to get CM10. EXCEPT, you need to update your recovery (in the op of the CM11 thread) and the newest gapps (also in op of cm11). Just follow the instructions of the CM11 thread and you'll have it! Keep in mind, CM11 is in the early stages, so there will be bugs. Need anything else, don't hesitate to ask.

There are already 4.4 ROM's out for anyone with MDL. Kangakat, Cm11. Why anyone would want a 4.4 build of Touchwiz is beyond me.
Anyway I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung holds off on 4.4 until the gs5. I'm positive my next device will not be a Galaxy as I'm sure it's gonna be locked down.

Ya I know. I had used CM and AOKP for a few years. At the time I loved that it had MORE options than any TW Roms. But now with some great devs for TW firmwares we have many of the great features I liked on CM/AOKP. Plus I like some of the features of TW like actually taking spectacular pics with the camera. I am sure CM/AOKP take good pics but with the TW drivers it was never the same.
So with great devs and many add on mods built in, plus Wanam, etc. I do not feel like having just OK drivers for certain hardwares that function great on TW firmwares. Plus I can debloat all the crapware to the point I like it. So personally for me, I will stick with TW based Roms until I either get a new phone (won't be buying a Samsung that has locked bootloaders EVER so NO MORE ATT phones will I be purchasing. So maybe a T-Mobile phone IF I stick with Sammy if they keep using non locked bootloaders.)
Everyone has their opinions and choices and I respect that. This is just my personal preference at this time.

If the locked bootlader is the reason your avoiding samsung...than you need tp avoid every att branded phone as they made an announcement quite some time ago thwy will no longer support unlocked phones...in other words every new att phone will come with a locked bootloader...of course this could change, but for now just use your upgrade and sell the phone unopened and buy an international or some other phone

because these ROMs are so great... NOT.
By the time AT&T pushes KitKat for the S4, I'll probably already be on an S5 or Note 4...

Touchwiz 4.4 (VRUCXXX) update discussion thread

With the open source code being released for the Sptint Galaxy S3 ours can't be too far behind. So as a continuation of my Touchwhiz ML1 thread I present the Touchwhiz 4.4 update discussion thread
The same rules apply to this thread as my last one. No fighting. Be nice and enjoy!
So a user in Invisiblek's firmware thread posted about Verizon's new pdf being uploaded. The pdf is blank as of this moment though. You can access it from here: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/system_update/galaxys3.html
Edit: It's TW 4.3 if you continue reading, @droidstyle posted a link to it on Samsung-Updates.

I added an edit to my post as well. Looks like the update mentioned in the firmware thread is already posted on Samsung-Updates but its for 4.3. Its VRUCNC1.
Edit: To clarify, the TW 4.3 VRUCNC1 tar is available for download off Samsung Updates. Might be an upcoming OTA, I guess?

The NC1 tar is 4.3 according to Samsung Updates.
This thread is still relevant though cuz the Sprint S3 is getting KitKat so (potentially) we're not far off.

pretty sure the nc1 build is gonna be official, gonna post a way to keep root for locked users and for unlocked users
Just so everyone is aware you CAN odin back to VRUCML1 after flashing the VRUCNC1 tar file. Ill post this in the other discussion thread just to make sure it is seen by anyone who might need to revert.
What changes does the new tar file bring? My bro has the 4.3 stock not rooted. So if this gives a better function that would be good news.

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.

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.
