I'm just asking this, not downing Cyanogen as I'm sure they have their hands full already, but is anyone else like me sitting around twiddling their thumbs and constantly checking when Cyanogen will release us a good blend of Vanilla goodness to replace this crappy Touchwiz (MOD EDIT) that Samsung always uses??

First of all, please tone it down. No need to use those references. (I'm going to edit out in a second.)
Second, I'm working with Tom Marshall from CyanogenMod who is doing the bringup.
We have boot since last week and as of about 10 mins ago working wifi. Calls and Data okay on Sprint but that's because we're both using that variant. I added the GSM ril blobs so theoretically it should work as well.
(And thank Tom for getting boot, I would have kept missing that I forgot 2 changes to a file that was holding that up. He caught my mistake in less than an hr last week.)
Now the bad news. It's still in bringup and has work to be done.
Rest assured it's being worked on.
Garwynn! Thank Jesus you're doing it, I remember you from the s4, used a lot of your earlier work on there. Anyways thanks for helping developing it, I can't wait!!

Glad we have a CM employee who can spend time on this at work honestly.
Noobnl did most of the bringup for the S4 and I'm glad to have gotten as far as I did.
But it always helps to have more eyes working on problems to hopefully resolve them! :highfive:
Few more issues ironed out today thanks to Tom mainly.
USB storage verified, GPS verified, a few errors have been ironed out.
The big known issues so far are camera (need some code changes to resolve missing symbols) and audio (phone mic doesn't seem to work, speakers out and BT mic/speakers working).
As far as devices we still need fingerprints for ATT, Canadian Bell and any others beyond Sprint, T-Mo, Verizon and kltexx (which is oddly SM-G900F according to what I got.) That should hopefully ensure that when it comes out it's ready for trying on other devices.

Well any work you do for us is always appreciated, I've honestly never seen such a quiet development section for a Samsung device as this ones is currently. Can't wait for wider adoption. As far as the base ROM you're working on with Tom, let me know if you need testers, I'd be happy to help, been playing with Samsung phones since the s3, I love em.

Well, you're partly correct. Those are issues that still need to be resolved. But often developers have other priorities that end users don't recognize. Performance issues and stuff that happens behind the scenes.
The Rootzwiki team obviously has a different task list, and one that might be considered to be more thorough than what you've named. Otherwise they wouldn't be working on stuff and posting nightlies on the regular. If you check changelogs over at the rootzwiki site here, you can get a better idea of how they're spending their time and what they've been focusing on.
Definitions of perception of success in IT projects are subjective. It's not always as cut and dry as one would think. I'm writing a dissertation on that very topic as you read this.
Usable? Id say wifi is working well enough to be usable. The mic and camera I would consider as "nice to haves". However, I don't use skype or anything very often, so perhaps my priorities are different.

For something that's free, developed, and distributed by private persons who are not obligated to provide you with anything.
Why do people feel so entitled to things such as these?!
If you don't like waiting...learn to code, and develop a better solution yourself.
How much of your time do you spend doing something that you're good at and donating your work to other people for free? Meaning, if you were a house builder...how many houses would you build for other people for free?
Solution: learn to code. Do it yourself.

There's a leaked Samsung Android 4.4 schedule on the net and it points to January for the S4 and N3. Going by the title at the top of the screenshot/picture it's the international variant S4/N3. US will be even longer. I'm quite pissed about this as these are the flagship devices and should be upgraded MUCH sooner. Thoughts?

Not sure how big of a deal KitKat really will be,...
I installed some of the newer files [Email, Calendar, QuickOffice] from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506623
To get some of the newer available apps, but moving to 4.4 washes away the hard work that Devs [Hashcode, beans, and Hyper] have already invested into 4.3.
I find Root and ROMs much more beneficial than the OS,....for now. De-bloating and customization is key!!
4.4 literally brings no new Ingenuity or function.
give me a break; give me a break; don't break me off a piece of that kit kat rom.

I really had to think about it when I chose to get the Note 3, but I figure the features on this phone are pretty amazing, and the way its looking is that phones will mostly be locked in the future. ATT is locking theirs, Verizon is locking theirs, Im sure the rest will follow. If two out of the four major US carriers are doing this, there is a good chance that someone will find a way around it. For the time being, we have Hashcode who has found away around the lock for the most part. We just need to get something like Loki or KEXEC working.
My other option was to keep a phone that has outdated resolution, software and hardware..... I had the Note 2 for a year and was ready to move on.

That part was for my Note 2. :cyclops:
We have no one to blame but ourselves. We accept the fact that the US carriers bend us over the barrel and do what they want to us. We accept it everyday by using their services, paying their crazy stupid prices and by accepting their restrictive contracts. Anyone who expects a US Wireless Carrier to offer an update let alone a Samsung update within a reasonable time frame is simply crazy.
The only reason the HTC One is getting it so fast is . . . well they don't have many phones to actually update or are worth updating so they have to keep pushing updates out to stay relevant. Of course the HTC one didn't get 4.2.2 we got stuck with 4.1.2 until we got 4.3. Of course I gave up on my HTC One long ago.

Yeah I remember you saying that before, but this is exactly the situation that can happen. I would've never bought a Samsung device if I didn't love Touchwiz.

If you're going to stick on Verizon, it seems Motorola is the only company coming out with AOSP phones on this network.

Indeed indeed. I'm hoping that you guys will be successful.
If only bypassing the whole locked os was possible and just booting from an SD card (like the HD2), or kinda like what they did on the touchpad.

I wish Samsung was as helpful as HP was with the touchpad, well that and a device was found with android already on it to help jumpstart that process.
With KitKat incoming, everything is being pushed into hyperdrive. http://m.cnet.com/news/samsung-updates-galaxy-s4-note-3-with-android-kitkat/57619025

im still waiting for a miui port
Like I said in the question, when do we think we get the update?
A. within a week
B. within two weeks
C. within a month
D. within 3 months
E. NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably as long as it takes verizon to put all there bloat in it and chains and shackles to make sure it stays locked down so we can't root it or anything

VERIZON is holding on to the update cuz they think giving us kitkat will cannibalize sales of the S5
so i say give it a week to a month after the S5 is on sale as for me im thinking of getting rid of my S4 not like im on verizon's network any more might as well get an international model or an s5 -_- annoyed i love this phone

You sure about that? I would say 90% of Verizon customers don't know what 4.4.2 Android means.

thats what i read on the verizon forums alot of people want their kitkat updates lol its believable if you ask me
cuz every one else got their kitkat update
I think once Samsung/Verizon are done with it, Kitkat on the non-MDK S4 will look more like Gingerbread than real Kitkat anyways.

The people on all forums about the VZW S4 are a very small number of VZW users. Almost all people will not get a new phone until their current plan is up. Therefore the S5 coming out is irrelevant to when KitKat is released. The majority of people will update to KK when it's pushed and most have never heard of it, let alone care.
VZW taking longer also means Samsung has worked out some bugs in their initial releases. Bloatware doesn't have much to do with it, IMO, most apps are tweaked to work with new software fairly quick.

Tomorrow.
Ask me again, tomorrow, and I'll tell you the same.
Its sad that this thread needs to exist. I am on the 4.4.2 GE ROM from Danvdh which is running great.
All I really want is the new modem file that goes with it.

They should, Samsung should give the latest and greatest to the S4 and Note 3, they still are flagship phones.

We have Verizon.. So we have great service but have to deal with locked bootloaders and wait forever for OTA updates lol what can we do.. Maybe move over to TMobile?!
Probably what I'll end up doing eventually just to have an updated phone I actually want that can have a custom recovery.

was in VZW yesterday (held a S5, kinda nice feeling) and asked as they tried to repair my S4. Dude seemed very tech savy until i pointed out VZW is last to get KK. he didnt even know when it'll b out.. Some "flagship" device right? makes me think they'll be pulling a dinc2 ICS move on us
This is getting annoying. 4.3 update fixed none of the issues or bugs really.... and then they make the flagship phone wait for kitkat.

VZW has been known to only care about the brand new phones. I had a HTC Droid Incredible 2 and at the time the Inc series was their flagship, but the Dinc2 was still 3g. ICS was getting put on everything and they had their lists out showing what would and wouldn't and our Dinc2's were on the confirmed list just never received nothing . VZW passed blame to HTC and of course HTC passed it right back to VZW. Then about 6 months or so later or so VZW comes out and says our old flagship isnt gettin ICS at all, stated communication errors with just that phone. Wouldnt even release source for it. Now if it was the 4g model, which was the Incredible S, we would've had ICS and source. I dont trust VZW as far as updates and they'll probably state same excuse and offer us a discounted S5 or a free upgrade to switch our plan totally and for us to pay more in about 4 months. If KK drops just be amazed if we get passed 4.4.2. this phone probably wont see 4.4.3

I, for whatever reason, had very bad luck with data on GE. It forced me back to AOSP 4.3.
Some of us still want a vzw branded KK.

Ok, just checking in here, I have roms built for this device, TMO and the International flavor.
I see root has been established as well as a recovery method, am I right here?

Putting the finishing touches on this rom now...

I really appreciate it, umm we need to get this rom posted very soon, so lets run it up the flagpole and see who salutes, VisionX s4 turned out to be successful, I see no reason why it can't be done here, I will start with the official TMO release, followed by the international one.:good::good:

these are really great Ax. you should definitely think about building the S5 for the note 3. also the S5 will most likely get a software update tomorrow as at Uncarrier they said it will be added to the list of voLTE capable phones.
