Android N question - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
Judging by how android M was provided to the S6, should we expect the same amount of time till S7 gets N (eg-mid next year) or could we possibly expect android N around or soon after when the Note 7 gets it ?
Please dont troll this thread, not interested in that if you dont like my questions just move along.
Thanks

Samsung said the Note 7 will get Android 7 in 3 months. I think our phonnes should get the official 7.0 fimware in early 2017. Luckily the N7's hardware is almost the same as the S7's hardware. So porting the N7 firmware shouldn't be impossible.

Where Android 4.4 kitkat for our devices (GT-P3100, GT-P3110, GT-P5100, GT-P5110)?

Cyanongen mod kitkat-isn't made, 5 day and any nightly build, the AOKP same, Paranoid 4 for Nexus is, and for us too most isn't present), Slim for nexus too is, for us isn't present, Pac rom too for us isn't present. It is asked, and whether generally there will be Kitkat? Really never android 4.4 Kitkat on our device will be or it is possible to go on Ebay and to sell it for 20-50 dollars, all the same it it is necessary to nobody, and then to take the credit?
If I understand you correctly, you're asking if kitkat will come to the galaxy tab or if you should sell it. Pac - rom developers on this forum have stated that they are working on porting 4.4,but they said it will take some time.

Yes.
Whether it is worth waiting 1-2 weeks of the first build or directly to sell and buy that doesn't take a steam bath and not to wait for years of new Android versions from "unoffical teams"?

To speak and I can. Where it is possible to look at any build Pac-rom andoid 4.4 kitkat at least? From where to download? Or nevertheless directly to sell and buy a pad from Google (Galaxy Nexus threw, Nexus s threw) / Apple/Microsoft then not to complain on forum:threw a device.

You are just a two post old and you are behaving like you have installed all the updates.
Though that is not of concern here. Its patience. Keep faith in these unofficial team as they do lot more better job than any official at Samsung or for that matter any other company. I am sure very soon there will be some great dev who will port the 4.4 for our beloved tab 2. Though if you are in hurry sell your tab 2 and buy the nexus 7.

And that, already bothered to wait sitting on ICS the new Android version - kitkat (Key Lime Pie in due time), as ICS is already obsolete, and on glyuchny, slowly semi-operating as JB to sit of desire isn't present. And here, again to wait 5.0? ICS already threw, and to put glyukavy, slowly, полуработающй, even with curve animation of JB of desire isn't present. Already ICS everywhere press, and KitKat on which I возглал all hopes on the fact that at least time I will see Rom working normally suddenly are postponed? What horror, how many still to wait for normal Kitkat on which at least it will be possible to sit normally the long time?

It is simpler to sell Tab 2 and to buy Nexus 7, after all Unoffical team (Like PecanCM, etc.) won't be able to make AndroidArmv6 Team to us the worker 4.4 as at informal commands as a rule hands from ass grow.
Though if you are in hurry sell your tab 2 and buy the nexus 7.

I think u r using some translation service to write here. Pl note that this service is pathetic. Its hard to understand ur sentences. BTW can u pl tell us what had stopped u from porting kitkat on galaxy tab as u are very eager to have it?
P.S: I respect u and wish that u also respect all devs who are doing this hard work in their free time.

Yes, I use PROMT Translator, as not the Englishman, and Russian. The Russian alcoholics (of which in the country of 95%) don't want to do Kitkat for Tab. And especially disappointed foreign, I thought though - any hope of them though I will deliver Kitkat and I will breathe sigh of relief. No. And they throw.
I have NO IDEA what you are saying.
But, if you want Kitkat, WAIT. It will come eventually.
If you don't want to wait, sell your Tab. Get Nexus 7.
I have no idea, but I found this news.

we will taste 4.4 no matter what have fate in samsung and devs
Feller121 - It seems like you are here only for bashing the devs. This kind of attitude does not help the community as everyone here is creating custom roms as pastime and not expecting anything in return. Wait dude, you will not be disappointed.
But the odd thing is:We appearently have excellent devs,but as many news about 4.4 kitkat releases for xperia z,moto x,galaxy nexus,i am beginning to question that.People have lives,yes.And if someone could make a simple way to make our pcs build latest releases for us over sources,instead of the "simple" build guides that have over 50 steps and things needed to make the building work.It would take me 3 months to learn all of that...
I guess if nexus 10 didnt get 4.4,our tablets will have to wait for a long time

Where is Android 4.4.4

Hello I read a few times about Note 3 4.4.4 Update from Samsung.
On this Site, they say it´s already completed and they startet to roll out in USA.
http://www.chip.de/news/Galaxy-S5-N...lan-fuer-Android-4.4.4-geleaked_73323235.html
Does anyone got more informations? Does it look like the S4/Note 4 ROM?
Just be patient, it will come sooner or later.
And I am pretty sure Note 3 will not get Note 4 UI, but who knows.

You're right, They won't make anything exclusive for the note 3 since they want to sell the note 4, not the note 3.
If the Note 3 gets 4.4.4, it'll be somewhere late december, early januari.
However, since Android L is being released late November, there is every chance Samsung will skip 4.4.4 entirely and move to L. Especially since it's been out for the Sprint edition for a month, and no other devices since, including the newer S5. (The Note 4 needed to come with the newest OS, and L wasn't out yet, or it would've come with L)
So expect them to skip it, like they did with 4.2 for the Note 2.
Arobase40 said:
NOPE.
Samsung will start rolling out 4.4.4 this month and probably via Sprint first...
Then, there is no calendar telling which pays/regions will be next and when we will receive...
Still 2 weeks before we know...

You do realise sprint already has it? As the only one. Something caused them to stop the roll-out. (They won't tell me what, just 'issues').
Perhaps you don't know this, but Poland gets every version first. It's where Samsung has its test center. There's not even a Polish test build. Samsung NL doesn't even know anything about 4.4.4...
Add to that the fact that there is no 4.4.4 for the S5 either(which is a newer device), not even a test build, and it starts looking very much like you're a tad too optimistic.
And keep in mind, if Samsung counts 4.4.4 as a major update, we won't be getting L. As that would make it the second major update.

I am not completely familiar with the update schedules, but many other regions received NG1 firmware far before Poland (XEO, ND3 was previous).
We're getting it this month

Why troll? People can be gullible on here
L has officially been released about 40 minutes ago by Google. (Google. Not Samsung. This is the point where Samsung is now allowed to start adapting L to their devices, which will take about 2-4 months.)

He said it was android L but since it was the latest update he got he thought it was L.

android 5.0 is going to be last major update!

We all know that most android phone get supported for 18 month thats a year and a half making your devices almost getting to major updates , so our note 3 original came with 4.3 jellybean and receive (update 1) which is 4.4.2 kit-kat and will receive (update 2) which is 5.0 lollipop am talking about touchwiz am sure there will be newer rom but aosp based stock , we all saw early build of lollipop update in (note 3 9005) and seems also the exynos version may get it also ,
so this thread is about answering these questions?
do you think that samsung may keep supporting our note 3 after 5.0 lollipop released ?
are there going to be developers that can port next touchwiz android which is 6.0 or android m or newer than that ?
what do you feel about knowing that your device never supported ?
Most likely not. They're in the business to sell hardware not keep old hardware running.
I'm sure but by time 6.0, M or whatever comes out the Note 5 or 6 will most likely be out.
Doesn't matter. Technology advances, but when I had the original galaxy there were roms with the latest OS. from devs. It all goes back to...Samsung is in the business to sell hardware not OS updates.
Even if they do, by the time a new Android is released, I'll most likely have bought a new phone.
It will continue to get small upgrades, but it will not get any more major ones.
This is nothing new.
As long as there aosp roms i'm happy
touchwiz are the best

What is bothering you so much? even it hasnt received 5.0 and who can tell what will be the next.
Samsung cant even answer your question bcoz this is ridiculous.
What can you do if 5.0 is the last update for Note 3?
This is wasting time.

1-what bothering me is that maybe newer features supported by a new version of android our note 3 not supported yet and i know we will never get that features ported to our note 3 so will be developers who can port a full android version like s3 which get kit-kat ported to international i9300 custom based rom.
2-i just try to guess maybe newer android is going to be android m or what ever will be
3-i don't care about there answer nor i asking them i ask developers here and owners of note 3 like me
4-emmm i will just stick to 5.0 and when new os came and my note never supported i think i will just came hear to see if they can do something like s3 done
Note 3 still kicks butt. I'll look forward to 5.0.
actually

Any developers here would do it if it was somwhat posibile but Samsung doesn't release the source code of Exynos so it's somewhat impossibile. It's like you need to build a town with buildings but you don't have a map of pipes to see here you need to put it...
Developers need to write all the drivers and with guessing what where it goes and really is impossibile.
My Moto G 2013 will get CM 14 beacuse Motorola released the source code for Android 5.1 and they have a starting point. Here we have nothing.
Not going to happen. We'll see it in roughly six months.... Oh well... Samsung supports their devices like one time phones. Only sales matters no support. They have let their customers down so many times now...
I'm afraid that they'll make some patch and security update of Android 6 for S7/Edge sooner. But let's hope that they'll push hard for Note 7 and some king will port it on S7.
I'd start hunt for it. I feel free to give 20 USD donate for stable (almost) clean Android 7 ROM

Im sure the international phones will get it this year, carrier phones will get it next year heh
As Eurofighter_ty said above, there will be no "porting" of Android N (or any other non-Touchwiz ROM like CyanogenMod) to a Samsung device with an Exynos SoC due to proprietary sources that Samsung will not release. There are exceptions where an extremely talented and motivated dev takes the time to reverse engineer drivers.
If history serves, it will be several months before Samsung starts rolling Nougat out, newest and most important devices first (N7, S7, S7E...). These are things to know before buying any Samsung device.
Maybe, i should just wait for S8 then XD

I would agree, I've seen major android updates in the past where its been like a step backwards and so it only leads to disappointment. Hopefully we are at a stage with android where this update (6 to 7) is more of a polishing of the current OS. Yes I know there are some additional features but its not a major overhaul as we've had in the past. I think most people would mostly appreciate some better consistency with battery life, Im not saying mine isnt good but there still seems to be a high android OS usage,so hopefully the enhanced doze feature tackles this, but we'll see. The one benefit of not getting the update right now is that over the next few months hopefully a lot of issues will be ironed out, for instance app compatibility. There are almost always cases where "I've just upgraded but now XXXX app doesnt work??" and you have to wait for the dev to update so their app so that it works nicely with the latest release.
Some of the Android N features are already in the S7. Multi window for example. Or Android for Work which overlaps with Knox. Other stuff is nice but only for new devices, like the seamless updates. The new JIT may be an exception, and the new graphics subsystem would also be nice.
About the VR stuff: I double Samsung will enable it for the Gear VR but we can of course hope.
Expect to have android N next year around April or May
