A friend of mine bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 (GT-S7275R), which has Android 4.2.2 - and that is the latest version that Samsung provides for this phone.
However, he'd like to use it with Fitbit hardware, which requires BLE API for syncing, and that feature is in Android 4.3.
How do we put 4.3 on this phone?
I don't think there's Cyanogen for this model. Is it possible to install vanilla Android 4.3 safely?
no
no rom like u want vanilla
Android 4.3 for your ace3

It doesn't have to be vanilla. Just how do I get 4.3 on Ace 3?
Hi,
Peoples who are still on Quattro, are there any chance we can get Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) update..?
Is anyone working on custom ROM...
Please update
General answer is No. Now, it is an abandoned project from Samsung.
we didn't even get 4.2.2 our device is dead
There's a Chinese edition of this phone and only difference is it can record 1080p videos (probably because of a sw thing). Didn't anyone tried this ROM or if it's not compatible anyone ported yet? It's 4.2.2

i've asked a long time a go, apparently the devices differ a lot.
GT-I8552 / GT-I8552B - Galaxy Win or Galaxy Grand Quattro
GT-I8558 - Galaxy Win DUOS
I have a I8552B and I am interested in playing with Cyanogenmod 13.
I just beginning to research, but, I think the biggest problem is the kernel.
Samsung has released the kernel source, and there is custom improved kernels on the developers section, the problem is that these developments are enhancements, updating the kernel to be compatible with Marsmallow would be quite heavy (I'm guessing).
I would be interesting to test freedreno with CM13 (maybe painful, but interesting nonetheless)

I tried Rom didn't flash via Odin lol
So I've successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 from Straight Talk using TowelRoot and have installed SuperSU. I now want to upgarde to KitKat 4.4, but don't know where to start? I've done alot of reading on this and I understand I have to basically download a ROM of KitKat 4.4, but I am wary as to which one to download and how I go about installing it. I don't want to brick my phone.
If that's not possible or too dangerous, I would at least like to remove all the stock bloatware that came with my phone. My baseband/build number ends in H1, if that is relevant at all.
Thanks!
hello all
i have run into some issues with the current available custom roms and was looking at creating my own and just wanted to know how if possible you would increase the android version from 4.2.2 (official firmware cap) to say at least 4.4 kitkat or even further to something like marshmallow.
any help would be much appreciated
Hello,
Yes, I know this phone is old and I'm hoping someone will help me but I have a Motorola Droid Turbo 2 and the battery is about to go bad and I also broke me MicroUSB port so I have to wirelessly charge it. I want to go back to my Samsung Galaxy S4 which it's on Android 5.0.1.
Before I got this Samsung Galaxy S4 had the same phone but I broke the LCD when I went to replace the screen which it ran Android 4.4.4, it was rooted, and had the SafeStrap custom recovery on it. This Samsung Galaxy S4 is on Android 5.0.1 and I saw a custom ROM that can make the phone run on Android 7.1 or Oreo so I want to do that to get the phone almost up-to-date close to my Motorola Droid Turbo 2.
I rooted using Kingroot so the first question is how to make SuperSU the main root permission.
I tried to use TWRP but it mess the stock recovery up so now it goes to Odin mode, the second question is how can I get a custom recovery to unlock the bootloader.
Lastly, what is the best ROM, I see the CM is nothing anymore and I saw a ROM called "LineageOS 14.1" which run Android 7.1.1, so the ROM I like to see haves at least Android 6 or newer and if there isn't any then what is the best Android 5.0 ROM.
--Here is the Phone info---
Model number: SCH-I545
Android version: Android 5.0.1
Baseband version: I545VRSGPL1
Kernel version 3.40
Build number: LRX22C.I545VRSGPL1
Keep in mind I'm little rust on rooting and custom ROM. I haven't done a custom ROM since the Droid 1 days. Please make it noob friendly as possible. I'm using a Linux OS right now but if I need a Windows OS I got one.
Thank you!

You're stuck on 5.0.1. forget about upgrading past 5.0.1. not going to happen. Ever.

Only the MDK bootloader can boot ROMS based on Android 6, 7, 8, etc. Once you've updated past MDK, you can't go back.
