Will be aveible marshmallow update for s3 neo?
Nothing official. If there are custom roms, they won't be based off of Samsung software and will be awhile before they're usable, much less stable (if ever).
Okey but will than a 6.0 update be aveible not offical?
Looks like there is still some development going on for your phone here on XDA, so most likely someone will try and make a version. When, and how well it works, depends on too many things to be able to predict at this time.

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and also to this Smartphone world
I am planning to buy Galaxy S2 , but want to use ICS Stock UI ( I can wait for official ICS update or use some ICS ROM ) , but what I want to know is that how can I use default ICS Stock UI on my Galaxy S2.
And another question when we use unofficial ROM on our Android phone , what are the risks we should consider in terms of our personal data security and also the stability of our phone ?
Thanks,
Maverick

If you do some reading around the SGS2 forum, you'll find all of the information you seek. Or you could try google...either way, the powers that be here at XDA aren't very friendly to those who don't bother trying to research, read, or use the search function. I'm trying to be a bit more personable.
At the moment, ICS is in either the Alpha or Beta stage...meaning that it's still buggy and doesn't really function as a daily driver yet.
To get ICS right now, you have to flash a ROM...which involves root access. The risks are pretty high. You have the risk of bricking your phone, if you don't read the instructions and follow them exactly, which isn't always easy because you're not very likely to find exact instructions for your specific phone (the hardware specs will match, but the ROM/Radio/Modem numbers may be different which can lead to confusion). You also run the risk of voiding your warranty, which is a pretty significant one.
I flashed an ICS build yesterday, and then my S2 wouldn't charge. I eventually flashed back (thank God I had made a backup yesterday, and 2 days ago as the one from yesterday didn't work!)
As far as security goes, nothing really to worry about. Dev's don't build in Carrier IQ and don't really want your personal data. But the flip side is, that they don't get paid for what they do...so if you have a problem or 'eff something up, you're pretty much on your own. You can ask for help, but again, sometimes the dev's don't want to be bothered with a question if it's already been answered or if you could've found the answer by searching for it. This is where it gets rude, sometimes.
That's the long answer. The short answer is READ, READ, READ...everything about your phone and flashing ROM's. Start at the beginning of the forum, as that's where the 'stickies' are and work your way thru. ICS will be released officially and stably later.
Hope that helps.
Thanks ,
I have googled it and read some threads on this forum and on others as well... thats how I came to know that you can root your phone with unofficial ICS ROM... but wasn't sure that in that case , will I get ICS with TouchWiz or Stock UI...
And 2nd thing that if I screwed up what will happen to my personal data...
anyhow thanks for replying my (dumb ? ) question
Hello, Im new here, Just heard about XDA and how its the best forum (knowledge-wise) out there. I dont have enough knowledge and experience with smartphones (Im more of a PC freak, building and hardware and stuff) but smartphones are a whole different subject.
lately Im having some "hangings" on my Galaxy Note 2 (N7100, 4.1.2 stock) it started when browsing firefox, and continuing to Whatsapp, it started freezing for a minute or so.. (which is quite a long period of time like u probably know.)
I started checking the whole Root&ROMs subject, and also found out that there's a way to update my phone to Android 4.3 JellyBean.
so here are my q's , What is the most CURRENT stable OFFICIAL OS (from what I saw online there's no 4.4.2 for Isarel-ILO (if it matters at all? Because I've seen a few official EU versions from various countries) and people just get a custom ROM of 4.4.2 to run it and also that quite a few ppl on here had some issues with it and were pretty happy about 4.3. So what do u think ?
also, I will probably need the best ROM for the OS you will recommend next (from what I read ROMs can boost phone performence) but I am not sure about it yet
but I am certain that I'm gonna root my phone, but can u tell me exactly how does rooting help ? I mean in which aspects and such..?
Thank you very much in advance, 73RM1N470R.
** just fyi, I figured I'd hard reset my phone and then update the Android to 4.3/4.4.2 which would help the hanging issue , and then root it. (not 100% sure about the ROMs..)
Hi, so I am new to the whole android thing and my partner has a new phone so I thought, why not learn something about it and try to upgrade her old one since it's impossible to do normally, let me explain.
So the version in question is GT-I9300 JZO54K.I9300XXELLA and after researching it seems as if the highest version possible is already on the phone, 4.1.2, yet I know a few people that also has a galaxy S3 but they are able to upgrade on a regular basis.
So I want to know can this phone be upgraded in any way? Also how do I know what version I can use? there are so many different versions for each phone
Thanks

There are custom and stock versions of Android 4.3 as well as custom 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 roms. I suggest reading up here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-one-user-guide-video-tutorial-t1944196
So let me get this straight, providing the ROM is for a Sumsung S3 GT-I9300 I can put in on my rooted S3 device?
Does the Baseband, Kernel Version or Build number have anything to do with what ROM's I can use?

Yes, if the rom is made for your phone, then it shouldn't be too big of an issue to install. The versions are important insofar as it's not recommended to downgrade, due to the Knox and bootloader "updates" from Samsung. As far as the modem, just make sure it's for the same update (4.4 modems for 4.4 roms, etc) unless the developer of the rom you are looking at suggests another. If they don't mention it specifically in their install directions then it's best to have the one matched to the region you are in for the international Galaxies like the S3.
Does anyone know if there are any lollipop roms out yet and if so where I can find them. Also, I'm looking for a good lollipop rom where everything works. If there lollipop roms what version of recovery of twrp do I use? I'm currently on 2.8.2. Thanks
As for the second question, 2.8.2 will work fine. There is a new version, 2.8.3 ,but it's not really necessary.
Where to find Lollipop ROMs? Assuming you're on Sprint, look in the development and original development sub-forums here in the Sprint G3 forum. Read the threads and see what works and what doesn't. At the moment, I think all the AOSP Lollipop ROMs have some bugs. Some of them more than others, and some of the bugs might not matter much to you.
Development on the G3 hasn't been going on for very long. It'll be a little bit longer before all the issues are worked out.
so im afrer as new a custom rom as possible for my device
current info is
Model: SM-G357FZ
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband: G357FZXXU1AOB1
knox: 2.2
ideally im after a custom rom which is marshmallow or later with expandable memory as this one is mostly for testing apps im making and just general testing
:good: any help would be appreciated as i look into it i cant find anything for this particular device just others like it I need one i know 100% will work and has what i need
anybody?
23 views no comments yet someone must have an idea sureley
it is rooted if it makes a difference but on stock still
https://samsung-firmware.org/es/model/SM-G357FZ/
Here it is bro Although the download speed is so slow
As far as I am aware of, there is no custom ROM for SM-G357FZ. There is only this ROM from Samsung, but it is Android 4.4.4. Pity, as this device would have easily carried Marshmallow or Nougat. However, there have been no developer who would have devoted his/her time.
