ok so am guessing the 1gig version of the s3 is not getting the kitkat update... i was very excited when i heard the s3 is getting it but disappointed when i heard the international version isnt. u think there is any hope for us yet....??
maybe some great developer can modify a kitkat for us....
If you want 4.4 then go try a custom rom, or discuss it in general forum where there is a sticky thread on kitkat. Don't start new threads.

hey ppl.. new to the s3 i9300 uk
ok so im rooted etc.. played with a few roms... and found this.
http://www.trickytweaks.com/update-...-jelly-bean-xxdlib-custom-insertcoin-rom.html
so it says in there i must have xxdlib 4.1.1 to install.. so then i found this.
http://www.trickytweaks.com/update-...-jelly-bean-xxdlib-custom-insertcoin-rom.html
its just worried me that at the end of the article it mentions only for nexus models... what does that mean?...
i thought a nexus was a nexus and s3 i9300 was (you get what im sayin) lol
also im just looking for roms that are jelly bean with google and motion..
are there any...
I think the "only for Nexus" thing might be a mistake, the author might have copied that from some other page he made about a Nexus and forgot to change Nexus to i9300... But am not sure about that.
The main thing is first you need to be sure your phone is an i9300 and no kind of variant. Check that by going to settings and then to about device.
EDIT: Is it a T-Mobile SGS III you have? I think that particular phone has its own forums, as they are different from i9300 somehow.
If it is an i9300 you are holding, the ROMs in the Development section of these i9300 forums are all OK for you to try, including the InsertCoin that you will find there. If you flash i9300 ROMs on something other than an i9300, you are in big trouble.
I also think it's a good idea in general to download ROMs via their respective XDA threads and not via random articles on other webpages.

In the ROM description threads you can usually find info about what's included in the ROM. Not sure what you mean by "with google", but the motion thing is in many ROMs, including the JB CheckRom 5.5 that I'm using myself. I just turn all motion off because I hate it, but I know it is in the ROM for sure.

I have been keeping a eye out for 4.2 roms for my international S3, and was curious as to why there still did not seem to be any. Upon researching I read the international version is missing some crucial components in software that make it incompatible with 4.2.
Is this the case?
Good news for you - there is a bunch of 4.2 ROMs for the i9300.
Bad news - you are really bad at searching
First there are a few 4.2 ROMs, look at supernexus 2.0, slimbean and CM 10.1 at least.
Also if we are missing software components they can always be updated.

100% correct as you are never going to be able to find the 4.2 rom .

Hello there
I checked "Software Update" but I did not find anything, but that's expected because my network provider is pretty slow in providing updates, especially for Android devices. I checked the SamMobile website which provides the latest updates but I couldn't find anything beyond 4.1.2, however I am certain that I saw people on this forum that own the I9300 and have 4.2+ (and my friend has it on his Google phone, whatever its model is I don't remember). Is there a way to get it? Would I have to root or is there an RUU available? I am not sure if "RUU" is the correct word, but it was when I had the HTC One X.
Thanks guys!
There is only the unofficial leak of 4.2.1 from samsung. Latest official is 4.1.2
Obviously we have aosp 4.2.2 but this is not samsung based

How do you go about installing an unofficial leak and are there any disadvantages/dangers when doing so? Would I have to root and use Clockworkmod or can I just directly install it from Odin, for instance? And one last thing, is it going to update the baseband (or w.e it is called)? I wouldn't want that so I can revert to 4.1.2 at any time!
I'm not sure if there is an odin version tbh. I thought the leak was pretty good (rooted) but many found it buggy. It was very incomplete.
I reckon we may skip 4.2.1 anyway and go to 4.2.2 as with the s4. It can't be far off.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks a lot for your replies, mate. I guess the best thing to do is wait for 4.2 then. I wouldn't want to install a buggy firmware, I mean 4.1.2 itself isn't that stable anyway. I remember when the S3 first came out with v4.0.4, the S2 got it shortly after, so I am hoping the same scenario takes places asap.
Thanks again and cheers!
Hi there people.
I won a rooted NOTE 2 which I got when the note was just released.
It is SCH-I605 and it has Android 4.1.1 with a Jelly Ben's build 7 bybeanstown106
I'm currently looking for a better ROM and simple instructions to install it.
I want the camera to work, of course, and I think it's time to get kit kat, but I"m not sure if such rom is available.
Plrase help me ...
Thanks

I run Slimkat which is a very stable, awesome Kitkat ROM. Been on it since early December. I was on Beans for months and it was great, but wanted to go Kitkat. Slimkat is very stable and it flies. Check out the thread in the Android Development thread. Download and installation instructions are clear.
All the roms are good, members are expected to try them all and make their own determinations as to what is best.
As XDA is not a support site, members are encouraged to read and review all material in the development sections to learn about which rom suits them.

I have the first Galaxy Note (Canadian version) that I got from Bell, with the model number SGH-i717M. I've been looking to get KitKat or Jellybean on it but from what ive researched I haven't had any luck. I heard that Samsung had a Jellybean update for the Galaxy Note but I'm not a huge fan of Touchwiz, I really like stock android or something close to stock android like Cyanogenmod. So does anyone know of any KitKat or Jelly Bean ROMS for the SGH-i717M? Any help is much appreciated!
Thread moved. Please post questions in the Q&A forums.
Thank you.

In case you havent helped yourself by this point, there is a CM11 weekly build in the General forums, or you can look in the Super Everything Thread. Some links are down in the Super thread, but folk are here to help and may have the file for you. However, only you can decide what you want. Roms are a give and take. Its not Burger King. Take some for a test drive and f8nd what suuts your needs.
Let us know
