Hello everyone,
I'm deciding which phone to buy and I'm searching for some information about Miracast support..
I've founded on wikipedia that the first phone that have this "feature" is GSIII but I can't find any information about that..
I know that Miracast is supported on Xperia Z, HTC One, LG Optimus G / Nexus 4, but is aviable only from Android 4.2.x etc but SIII is "officially" 4.1.2...
So, someone knows something about that??
Is possible to activate this option installing CM 10.1 (or other 4.2 roms) on SIII?????
Sorry for my bad english guys..
PS. I have a Nexus S, so i'm not a newbie
this is not a help section
Check out this thread. It has information regarding miracast.
It seems like a phone just needs to support Wifi direct and run Android 4.2 to work so the S3 should work.
The problem with CM10.1 is we don't have sources for the hardware, so there is a lot of broken features, you might need to wait for a stock 4.2 for it to work properly.

Thank you all and sorry for the wrong section...
So, as I presume, we have to wait until 4.2 was officially released.... but now I don't now if is worth to buy this model, or wait for something else.
I don't want the SIV, seems too much for me....
sorry again for my bad english..

Hi guyss i am a developer my previous devices was Xperi x10 mini, Xperia x8 , Xperia arc and in the summer i bought the galaxy s2.
I have always been thinking about make a rom but no nice where to start until the galaxy nexus came out and i got interested so i tought about it if i where gonna buy it but no i wanted a challenge so i tried to port it instead of using it so now my work is finished.
And i have som small bugs like 3g and web browser but now i have it and wonder if u guys wanted it or should i just keep it for my self and use it or share it .
Its A full port, Full Port = 100% galaxy Nexus experience no AOKP STYLE no rom control or something.
Well u want it or not ?
wishing you the best before your second thread also get closed

Now that you have successfully ported it, Might as well share it!
Let CM know that there is yet another competitor!

I think not!

Hi Everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place (did not find a specific ZTE tablet forum - but i guess all the chinese tablets are pretty much the same).
I recently got this device, It's pretty nice, not strong or anything (like the nexus 7 i initially wanted) but it was given to me for free.
My only problem with the device is the operating system version, android 4.2, I have also nexus 4 device and going back to 4.2 feels a bit how to say, laggy, old fashioned.
Can someone guide me please / link and also explain if it's possible somehow to get this tablet to android 4.4 or even 4.3.
Thanks you very much,
Anyone knows maybe? even a general answer not only to the zte tablet, regarding the chinese tablets and firmwares.

I am hacking this same tablet right now. ZTE is just a clone brand. Really, it is a Rockchip rk3188 processor, and some GPU. I hope this helps you find the right ROM. The bootloader is already unlocked, so that's not going to be a problem. Download this to identify your HW further:

Hi, I can get a deal offer for the s3 at the price of $233. But I have some questions
Is it still worth getting the galaxy s3 in 2014?
WIll it get official android L from samsung (there is already official kitkat right?)
if there's no official android L, does it have official Cyanogenmod support and so will it get android L cyanogenmod?
for future android L custom roms , will there be problems with some drivers? (e.g. my htc desure never got proper camera support on android 4.X roms as the drivers are not available). Are all drivers(and source code) released by samsung for the s3?
how does it compare with the galaxy s4? is the latter worth the price difference
how is camera (important for me) as compared to smarphones in the same price range available today (e.g. xperia sp, galaxy s4 mini)
thx for your time reading my long list of questions and waiting your replies and suggestions guys. Thx
No, no and no, yes and unlikely, yes and no, s4 is better but not by much, camera is good but only on stock rom.
is camera bad on custom roms? and there's no cyanogenmod official support?

1) Absolutely no for the only 1 GB of RAM.
Actually on Amazon is very sold its Neo variant with 1,5 GB, but according to me it's a madness: a newer hardware is highly preferable and x64 architecture is coming.
2) Absolutely no and you are wrong: no KitKat official support for S3, why it should be extended to Android L? It's impossible!
3) Yes, it's promised by Cyanogen team, but never more the bull**** did with CM 10.2, working of course on a stable rom to switch to CM 11 nightlies as soon as possible.
When CM 11 stable is released, you can stay on CM 12 nightlies.
4) Samsung drivers are already released for custom rom, except for the 2-way call recording.
CyanogenMod prefers to use the hybrid and open source drivers, but with a specific BOEFFLA kernel, actually experimental, you can get the official and proprietary drivers, much better than first.
5) Galaxy S4 is obviously greater than S3 under any aspect, its price is about €300-350.
6) S3 has an excellent camera, but in AOSP roms it's not provided of a good stabilization, so pictures are a bit more moving than in stock rom.
Yup I know there are better hardware (obviously.. it is 2 yrs old) but for the price of $233 is it worth it? I don't want to spend more than $300 on a phone.

will check this out... if the community of custom roms is active (but 5.5" is a bit too big for me and i hope it has sdcard and removable battery)
edit: are you sure it is better than the S3? looking at the specs, it does not look that great and it's a mediatek cpu ... )

I don't know the Mediatek reputation, LG G Pro under many aspects is the ideal phone for your budget.
On Amazon.it its price is about €250, I think less on a bigger store such Amazon US or DE.
As me you want to root the device and flash a custom rom... LG is the only trademark who guarantee warranty also under root permissions.
Please can someone get me the quaraqumus QS-i9300-KK-v2.6 resumable link
Hi guys,
I'm thinking of my future device when my iPhone 5 support ends (iOS 9 probably?). I'm really curios for which phone should I go for. Please guys, I need some suggestions. And also, I dont want MTK phones. Thanks
Of course, You can type more suggestions in replies and I'll try to add them as quick as possible.
Any android device than samsung... I prefer nexus series. Just wanna know more aboug sgs6, release date etc.

I'm new in Android world, and I have to buy cheapest Android phone that will be able to handle Android 4.4 or newer.
I have found that the best option is Galaxy S3 and that there's one on Aliexpress. I'm aware that it might be a clone but it will not be my primary phone. It just has to be able to handle newer Android.
Can't post a link, search for the top ordered Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 on Aliexpress.
Has anyone tried it? Will software see it as genuin S3? Thank you!
if it's a real i9300 then you are only able to upgrade via custom rom. Official support via samsung stopped at 4.3
If You need official KK (4.4), then You must search form S3 4G/LTE (9305). Basic S3 ended with 4.3 (as maultasche said).
This must be S3? If not, try search Moto E - it's cheap and small chance to buy fake one - in S3 (generally in Samsung phones) it quite ease to buy fake/copy when your search for cheap phone.
You are right, thank you! And I will check Moto E but what about S3 Neo?
S3 Neo has 4.4.
You can check every Samsung phone here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Just type model name/code (S3 or 9301) and it will find all/latest version of firmware.
It you want a phone for calling/texting (and using in general), you should list your needs/requierements/max price and ask what to choice - XDA probably has a place for it.
If you want a phone for testing/development Android apps, you should think about Motorola/Nexus or some new models with offical long support (ie Xperia family).
I just need a >4.5" phone for general use, with at least 4.4 (to use with smart watches and bands). With as low cost as possible. Galaxy S3 Neo is my leader now.
I don't know where I You from, what models ara in your country and in what prices, so it's hard to suggest any model.
I suggest You to use some kind of price comparation site (in our country), choice your requierements and list devices. Then choice what you like (what looks nice to You) and has a good price.
Then paste list of interesting devices.
For example there are couple of cheap models named "Core" or "Grand" (from Samsung) with screen size obove 4.5 inch and new Android.
Downsides are: not so "strong" CPU/GPU (for games) and lack of light sensor - it shoudn't be a issue as You want to use smartwatch anyway.
In my opinion s3 is best choice As long as there is ANY chance to get some cm (official/ unofficial)

You can upgrade it even to marshmallow why KitKat?
As we are expecting the official cm to release tomorrow so I think that s3 is the best choice. And if you just like touchwiz s3 has 4.4.4 ports from touchwiz and you can install them. But I recommend you to install lollipop 5.1.1 rom if you buy a s3 device. You chose the best device if you want any help on how to flash these roms just reply my post.
If I helped you hit the tnx button.:good:
