While looking up Android phones for a friend living in Brazil (land of the eternal Galaxy Y) to buy, I ran into what seems to be a rather unique variant of the Star Duos.
I don't have enough posts to give a link to their website, but it appears to be a triple-SIM(!) version of the S5282 Galaxy Star Duos, the S5283 Galaxy Star Trios. Runs JB 4.1 with Samsung's app to automatically route calls through the right carrier's SIM.
I'm curious as to whether it exists somewhere else, like, say, India? Did somebody here ever manage to get one? I wonder if it uses the same Mediatek hardware GooPhone/LG used in their triple-SIM phones?
It does indeed exists in India as well. I am currently looking for a solution to root this particular phone. No luck yet. It does have a serious problem regarding the internal memory, I mean, It runs out of space very quick and doesn't give you an option to move apps to external sdcard. Please, if you bump into something, let me know.
Many thanks,
Tirso - from Brazil

Sorry that would be Warez and thus illegal and not tolerated on Xda.
Furthermore these modified Apk's often include other enhancements such as Trojans or Adware.
Any particular reason you cannot root?

That is clean unroot process .
Alternative is to format via recovery cache system data preload result no root no OS no firmware no boot .

Of course Samsung gives updates to rooted devices... your friend may have a completely custom ROM (e.g. Omega or Wanamlite) which, of course, has it's own updates and no longer uses Samsung update service.
OTA Updates require a recent version of CWM and CF-Root, but are supposed to work in these.
Kies (tethered to the computer) updates work regardless of which Root-method is used.
Odin (manual updates) with a firmware from samfirmware.com will work in any condition
Clean unrooting is only required when you want to send it in for warranty and the phone still works.
Of course you'll have to re-root after updates unless there is a RootKeeper app (I dont use stock, so I don't know about that)
What are you guys talking about? Chainfire 3d was able to make tegra2 games work but tegra 3 is not possible on an s3.
Chainfire confirmed this. Am I missing something, has another way been discovered?

Riptide GP runs without hacking a config, just turn on chainfire. Also all other tegra supporting games work (just dead trigger needs a config change).

It's fast, smooth, huge size screen, works great, great battery, rooted so you can remove bloat, etc etc.

if you wanna get your i527 back to stock you just need to use samsung kies. you just gotta get it to download mode, and select the re-initialize option under the tools menu. you have to have the serial and imei numbers to the phone though.

In some website I have seen that galaxy note 3 neo is
getting updated with 4.4 kitkat in coming may 2014.
4.4 bans full use of external sdcard, so think twice b4 upgrading.
Kitkat update coming through soon, hopefully !!!
Hopefully, Note 3 Neo users will be updated to Kitkat as well. RIght now it has just hit the korean version.
Hope this helps.
Is it only for Korean or is it Multi

I suggest Spigen Neo Hybrid, you can buy on Amazon, not slim but big quality and materials.
Or flip cover S View, available on eBay or Amazon.

Can someone share changes or may be a video to show what's new with Kitkat update for Note 3 Neo . Google doesn't have much info about this so was wondering if any one would take some time ? Curious to know if update breaks sd card support and has display profiles included ?
Also time line for kitkat update for N750 3G variant was also May but there's no sign of it ?

If based on the Kit Kat for Note 2, yes it broke SD card support but there was an easy fix if phone has been rooted.
