[Q] Want to know more about ROM - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys,
I am thinking to try paranoidkangdroid 4.2.2 ROM for galaxy s3 AT&T. but my phone is still running 4.1.1 and there is no update for the at&t yet for 4.2.
I searched whether 4.2.2 rom will work for at&t or not and got the ans saying NO but there will be soon.
so if they release that and if my phone is still running 4.1.1 will i still be able to install the 4.2.2 rom in my phone?
i tried finding the requirments but couldn't find one.
thank you.

Anyways as a matter of fact, all Custom ROMs for AT&T Galaxy SIII is in the Development section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1705
I'm still not sure whether you need official Samsung/AT&T update to 4.2.2 in order to try custom ROMs. Anyways I'll flag the Moderator to move this Thread to AT&T Galaxy SIII section, so that people using this device can give you a better suggestion.

Your stock firmware doesn't really affect what you have to do with flashing a new ROM. I have the i747 as well (on 4.1.1 stock) and i flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightlies (4.2.2) pretty easily. You don't need to worry about what you have right now. Just make sure you back up the ROM and follow all the procedures for installing a new one.
BTW AT&T (or Samsung for all that matters) probably won't release 4.2 at all. It's only out for the Nexus devices at the moment. The only way is to flash a new ROM right now.
and yes, you WILL be able to install 4.2.2, even if you're running 4.1.1 on your stock firmware. (Just make sure to backup in case anything goes wrong!) Your new ROM is not dependent on your old one

here's the thing
4.1.2 came out for S3 international ~4 months ago, U.S S3 yet have yet to have it
and there's no real date when they'll even release 4.1.2
so how long do you think we'll able to get an official version of 4.2.1? and then 4.2.2?

4.1.2 began slowly rolling out barely 3 months ago on the international variant. one of the features is the multi-view. as has been covered already, this affects the US variants as we have dual core phones vs the i9300s quad. we wont see a 4.1.2 firmware release.
i dont see any real carrier-published updates for the US models until the release of the s4

actually there will be 4.1.2 for U.S s3
it's just some features that you saw on international (multi-view, etc..) won't be there for us

So then it's not the same 4.1.2 release as people have been inquiring about. And I still say the US S3 won't see a major update until the S4

multiview is a note 2 and international S3 feature. there are roms in the android development section that offer a ported version of this but it is not native to our US S3 variant. to the best of my knowledge, there is not a flashable mulitview package. if there was, it probably would not be stable. cheers

i dont think we'll see that update over here in the states. we might see 4.1.2 or 4.2 sometime this year, but it wont include mulitview.
i've heard good things about GalaxyMOD and there's Synergy rom too. both of those are based on stock with some mods and such. go check them out. i stick with aosp-based roms so i cant vouch for these one's stability. just know they're probably the top 2.

In the themes and apps section, search for 4.2 camera. There is back thread that contains several different cwm flashable cameras including note 2 and the 4.2 one

When 4.1.2 came out, I just waited for a zip of the rooted version was posted. I also prefer to not get the ota and wait just to see if it's worth updating. Reason being, when I was on the og epic, there were updates that I purposely did not take because the modem was worse or some other feature was screwed up. I know, I didn't answer your question.

The good news for you is that every time there is a new OTA, Freeza posts a stock, rooted ROM. This ROM is identical to the stock GS3 phone after the update, except that it is rooted (and has a couple of extra apps like Super User or SuperSU). Freeza normally gets the rooted ROM out within a couple of days of the OTA being released. Back when I was running TW ROMs, he normally had his rooted ROM out before my area got the OTA.
4.2 will most-likely not occur until well after the GS4 is released. Samsung will want to keep it's latest-and-greatest TW version on their latest-and-greatest phone. We can complain about it all we want (and I want to), but in all honesty, it's just good marketing. The good news is that once 4.2 TW is released for the GS4, the good developers of XDA will (most-likely) be able to create custom ROMs from it. We've seen the same thing with multi-window, once it was released for the international GS3, it was soon-after ported to Sprint GS3.
Hope this helps.

Help with Updating Android on Unlocked AT&T S3 I747 for MetroPCS/TMobile

Hey guys so I decide to get the SGH-147 AT&T S3 off of ebay for MetroPCS which enabled me to get a 2 year squaretrade warranty. After looking back at it now, I feel it might have been a bad idea since Metro has a MIR 349.99 deal for their S3 version which would mean easier android update since it would be on Metro servers if I'm not mistaken. Anyway I can't return the ebay phone now unless there is some software or hardware problems within 30 days
So my problem
I am stuck on 4.1.1 on Kies and when I check for update, because the phone is based on AT&T servers, it won't work since I'm on Metro. I wanted to see if there is anyway for me to update my phone to 4.3 which is the current version. Although, I've heard some people have 4.3 problems?
If that's not advisable, could y'all tell me how I could atleast get to Android 4.1.2? Also is there a 4.4 update in the works?
I just got the phone today and would like to be running on something better than 4.1.1
should I flash the AT&T phone to a MetroPCS ROM lol, if any of those are actually available, or if I were to flash, should I flash it to Tmobile?

There are numerous options. The best depends on your choice. I recently rooted my AT&T phone and installed Cyanogenmod 10.2, based on android 4.3. Check it out. It is super cool.

Lets say I do it and I find out my singal or some issues I can't stand arise, can I reflash down to 4.1.1?
Btw any links to a stock 4.1.2 ROM? And do the battery on these phones run longer with newer Android flavors. The S3 battery I have is atrocious
AT&T 4.1.2 and 4.3 update is officially only available via OTA. But this requires being on the AT&T network. The are zip files available on XDA to get these updates but I strongly suggest you read up on things first.

Do you have any links on how to do the 4.1.2 update on an unlocked phone? I searched on google (admittedly i suck with google) but couldn't find much info.

[Q] TouchWiz 4.4.2 wifi fix?

I went back to touchwiz after a year of cyanogen and I flashed it through odin mobile. I can't toggle the wifi button on. It keeps going to off. My data works though. Any ideas on how to fix it?

There is no Stock Touchwiz 4.4.2 for the T-Mobile variant of the Note 2. I suggest you search in the thread of whatever 4.4.2 ROM you installed. Good Luck.

I got it from this website. I'm am from Canada and my phone is from wind mobile. I have been able to use tmobile roms variant on my wind phone with no problems so far.

Again, I am really not trying to be argumentative, and reaaly want you to have the support you are looking for. All I am saying, though, is that T-Mobile still has not released their official version 4.4 KitKat for this particular Samsung T-Mobile Note 2. I see that Wind Mobile released their version in May of this year. I am just stating that there is nos such thing as stock 4.4 KitKat running with a Touchwiz interface on a T-Mobile Note 2.
We have all been anxiously waiting for that release for at least a couple of months now. Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, and even US Cellular have all announced thier release of 4.4 KitKat on their versions of the Note 2. Your Wind Mobile provider has also released their KitKat as you point out in your link. Unfortunately T-Mobile has not yet released that software.
I have reviewed the link you provided and it seems that you are correct and Wind Mobile has your official release of KitKat for the Note 2. However, I am not sure how we can help in the T-Mobile forum, since we don't have that official firmware yet. Thousands of folks here sure wish we did! Sorry, bud.

Assuming you still have this device and still want to upgrade I'm going to be working on a port for this in the near future. I just picked one up for my kids to play with.
