imo TW-based Android 5 is unlikely for i9300 unless the n7100 gets an update (which itselfs seems unlikely).
Either way, we already have unofficial CM12 (courtesy: some really cool devs) and that's good enough for daily use. In fact. it's much smoother than any TW could ever be.

I´m on "[WIP] [Beta 1] [2014-12-22] CyanogenMod 12 for i9300". And for me it´s much smoother than all Stock Custom Roms based on 4.3.
It´s Beta, so no perfectly but very smooth. I´m incredibly satisfied :good:
Here are so much excellent Developers, so i think when there is a chance to get a Port from Note for example we will see good running Touchwiz Rom

slim ics

Hello,
Is there a good 'slim' rom for the galaxy tab ? I went to this website but i realy dont know if sone of these can be installed, so if anyone has an idea what i should download plz help me out if it is possible.
I want this custom rom because i think my tab is now way to slow. I want to get the maximum out of it,

I would definitely recommend Galaxy Task 14 "slim". There is also a "fat" version that has some bloatware. It is the most complete and stable rom for the tab 10.1 as of now. Until sammy releases the ICS camera drivers of course..
just grab the slim version from here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340064
EDIT: I did not notice "ics" in the subject, there is no slim ics version. Task is the best custom.
ICS is already slim anyways. It doesn't have anything.
I think he means pure ics with no bloat. AOKP and CM9 put gaudy stuff in there ROMS. But with no camera on ICS yet I just can't use it.

No i just want a custom mod and overclock it and as fast as possible and with camera
Well there is no ICS ROM with camera. Period.
I just switched to the task 15 ROM and it seems to be the most stable. I need my camera for video chat.

[Q] Is there any Paranoid Android GB based ROM?

Hi, i've been searching about that rom but i can't find anything related to GB
I need a fully functional camera so i'm stucked with 2.3, is there any Paranoid Android based on any GB version?
Think its only based on ICS and higher. Paranoid android is a nice ROM, but doesn't serve much purpose on our 4" screens. It would be great on something like S3 or Note.

Advantage of vanilla Android on my i9300?

I have an S III.
I've been told many times I should root and install vanilla Android on it.
Apart from being able to run the latest version of Android, what other advantages will I have?
Stock on the s3 is touchwiz (samsung rom)
The advantage of "vanilla" android (no OEM skin) could be speed, aesthetics, variety.
Try it yourself.

I installed CyanogenMod on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and, whilst it ran just fine and was quick, it was no faster than the stock Samsung ROM.
I think I'll still try and install vanilla Android on my S III.

Android 4.4 is here and will work well in our devices too.

Dear Devs,
Android 4.4 is out and will support our devices too. Any one to work on to support our beloved Optimus One or All developers moved to a high end device already.
Thanks,
Kiran Kumar
Ya Google said that the low end android smartphones having at least 512mb of ram can run Kitkat smoothly. It will be new birth to our beloved Lg optimus one
Waiting for our developers reaction.

You are like "I want that new 4.4 thingy, i don't know the new features but who cares cos it's New! Yeee ^_^ make it work make it".
Don't get me wrong but,
GB or 2.3.x was the best Android OS for our p500, well i still believe it is.
Why?
Cos there wasn't any Fc's, no post like "oh nooo camera image sh1ty", no malfunction on hardware level nor software,
Some dev, cavemen i believe was his name, fixed our multitouch problem, i don't think this fix was implemented on ics or jb since i've never found any evidence for it, test with "multitouch app" see what i mean.
The ICS is still in development, 4.2 JB has reached his final build, 4.3 has started it's dev.
With ICS we got less free ram, less free storage space but we gained better UI, kinda, and most important better system compatibility. Battery was somewhat intact.
With JB 4.2 we got the 3.0 kernel, more functionality and great battery drain but huge with wifi on. Less ram again, less space, new bugs, and the end of p500 gaming era xD.
Custom Rom numbers have fallen a lot too.
My point was,
Isn't better to optimize / perfect the ICS and Jb for our p500 instead of demanding new builds?
New doesn't mean better trough
(i find Talho and Ginger DX best Roms, Talho as you know for gaming and Ginger as the best customized rom, so much functionality. But I'm running JB only cos gives me the BEST sound quality.)
Cheers.

Is the new google experience launcher work? I mean does it at least work at the basic level?
please don't expect nexus 4 or nexus 5 functions shinny gimmick but if at least the basic feature of a launcher works then it is little improvement
to experience the feel of newer OS
as for the comment about perfecting 4.0 or 4.2
I am a bit in the middle with that .
because usually newer code is cleaner, thus more efficient, and who knows it maybe backward port friendly
and I think our development for 4.0 and 4.2 has reached is max because of the kernel limitation (correct me if I am wrong)
trying to port 4.4 would be an interesting hack In my opinion . a challange
and proof of concept I know software developer / programmer likes to proof their concept
they like challenge
try and get the google experience launcher here

Interesting. Since I have few months only testing roms, i think that every new android version has to wait, is like mw sais, is not a race to get it first, is to wait until a well done version being released. And (in my case) can't urge the developers to get new roms if we only wait for it and don't help with the build. If you want a 4.4 version now, start studying, learning and do it for yourself. Other people have different priorities.

I think that cm will be habit late so why don't you drvs start with another ROM! Maybe simple aosp or a better one slimkat which is already out for nexus 4. I believe that slimkat will fit our phone perfectly as it is slim and needs less system storage.
Thx in advance! Devs are making a valuable effort! Hats off for them!

another version of google launcher
this time it is XDA version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506488
Velvet FCs for me. Problem may well be an armv7 jni once again. Those FCs make the launcher really fun.
There is a launcher3.apk around which bypasses the Google Now business.
Will 4.4 run on our devices? Really?
Two problems:
Armv6! Pre-compiled closed source stuff for armv7. Just like before.
Room on /system for various new libraries. I am trying them on sdext with symlinks. This is Linux so this should work. This is Android so who knows?
Newer gapps and components are bigger than ever. Sort of contradicts all the buzz.
I was wrong ..
Most of the people are using it as a primary phones :thumbup::thumbup:
Thats good

But I think that this time it will mean better. Because this version has been made to run on lower end devices, devices with less RAM and processing power. If Dev's are trying to create the perfect 4.x.x ROM for the P500: this very well might be it.
I think we'll have to wait before judging 4.4 as a just a bloated resource hog on this device. It may very well be the complete opposite.

Exactly. Project Svelte is what I was referring to. So we should see some better performance than with Jelly Bean.

Perhaps.
Never said something like useless.
And getting high expect = won't get disappointed at the end.
So kitkat4.4 would have better performance then JB?
I mean, CM team spend time porting/dev JB ROM to our, well I might as say old, p500 and couldn't perfect it, greatest issues still are camera/battery/more space same storage, as android versions progress more and more storage space is taken, as well as ram usage.
And now somehow, google will make 4.4 universal build with all features from previous versions?
Google hasn't made any ICS or JB p500 specific ROM then it would take so much time.
But, making universal builds for phones-alike would be better option but builds won't be phone specific optimized.
I doubt kitkat's realization. It's a nice though but imagine the number of phones that still run on ROMs under JB.
EDIT: (source: xda and wiki)
"video playback performance issues due to missing libraries for hardware assisted decoding since ICS"
Would this be fixed? I remember now, I could never watched those Naruto downloaded ep's, video playback was like 1frame-per-sec (online streaming still fine)

Someone needs to port it to our device before you can use it, and I seriously doubt that will happen.
It may happen...

It may happen. When a CM version is released, then some of the awesome devs here may port it. They have done an awesome job porting Jelly Bean so it is not that far fetched!

too difficult too see android 4.4 for our device.. there are 4.2 and 4.3 before kitkat and they are still not here as an android version rom..
but not sure
i believe the most active developer of most of the kernel and rom is no longer that active. while it is good to see kitkat on our mini phone i highly doubt it would even be possible. if its possible you might be looking at a very slow phone due technical constraints of using the updated os
But we can use jellybean.
I know kitkat is better than jellybean

don't think so... the problem is always drivers, and the low specs... let's face it... we love this little device, but is too old.
Hey Guys, Lets Ask nAa To Develop MiniCM Kitkat(4.4) For Our Tiny E10i and U20i...
It would be cool since they say KitKat use less memory, but I guess drivers are hard to find for this tiny device.
Kitkat actually using a RAM compression, like KSM, compcache (a.k.a zRAM), JIT and this is already in CM7 era, before Kitkat
For more info:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...rt-to-devices-with-as-little-as-512mb-of-ram/
Also, this is need a big and fast cpu cycle, so IF your device can handle @ 1Ghz it's not even enough, because ARMv6 (65nm) vs latest ARMv7 (45nm, 28nm on A-15)
And Google already leaving ARMv6 for Android support and for developing Kitkat, we need to hack many System in Android to working in our chipset
I'm happy, because we can run 4.1.2 on X10 Mini
But, for Kitkat, I think we must buy a new device
