[Opinions]Vzn sgs 3 just got 4.1.2 what do you think? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

http://m.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-s3-seeing-its-android-412-update-today
Just read that today. Wanted to know what you guys think. More geared to those not running 4.2.2 ROMs since we all know you can just flash those and not worry about updates.

Nothing exciting. Biggest thing being improved Bluetooth. According to that list, they are leaving out everything from the International 4.1.2 update. And the 4.2 roms we have are AOSP, this update is stock TW.

Yeah it didn't look at that exciting to me. I'm sure Tmobile will lag on this let alone 4.2. I'm running stock now since I got my replacement. But, I think at least for me I'll skip the sgsiv and see what the end of the year holds. I've been through too many phones this last year to warrant me getting the sgsiv. Htc amaze>Sgs2>gbex>sgs3.

Seems like they prioritize bloating their updates than including actual features from the Intl version.

this is one of those times when i wished i didn't live in the U.S...the people here are so sheltered from the outside world...
what a pitiful update...

Was gonna work on a port of the OTA but ran into problems with the bootloader.
It doesn't seem to be much of a upgrade after talking to some Verizon users.

Unfortunately it says the the report wasn't confirmed by Samsung, and it also says that its still gonna have to go through the carriers... dunno how att is because I'm new but I know vzw is a huge Hassel when it comes to pushing through any upgrades. Hopefully the code Samsung wrote form its handset gets leaked though because then we will have the capability to flash it without waiting for carrier approval.

Despite the fact that it's not really official (no Samsung confirmation) it's still good news. I doubt this would be an invented news, there's gotta be some truth behind it... now as for the carriers' part in this, that's another matter!
I'm waiting for two things, first, the inevitable leaks, and second, the kernel sauce.

My theory is that the Jelly Bean leak since is actually a Sammy leak and is still being worked on by Tmobile and AT&T uses the almost the same kernel both d2 the devices. The new jelly bean leak has LTE settings in it meaning that you can set AT&T LTE/PTA APN settings and use 4G LTE in theory. Their are risk because the leak contains a new baseband, you can always reflash back to an older baseband though so this is not the biggest deal. The update does not include a new bootloader so no worries their. And you can always flash back to ICS. In my mind this may be worth fixing up a few files to see if it works. I'm going to give a try. I'll report back.
Looking forward to what you uncover drew

The system and everthing seems to copy over fine, it's the kernel that's giving me trouble right now. I'm going to work on it some more and see what I can find out, but by that time I'm sure an AT&T version will be out.
I'm still working on it and will continue.
What about using ktoon's or faux' JB kernel in the meantime?

OK... So I don't ever want to flash a LGOG ROM again lol

Did anyone see on our AT&T variant forum that they found a way to flash all Nexus 4 partitions, (bootloader, recovery, kernel, and system) to convert your LGOG to a Nexus 4!!! I am so waiting for them to try this out on our device so I can do it and flash N4 ROMs from then on

Yea I was very tempted to try something lol but I'll hold off, I don't think everybody understands how big this is tho, this opens up the door to so much more with this phone, ROMs, MODs, newer versions of android, etc... This means we'll have the best nexus phone now

I did it before rohan on the sprint variant and it is mostly working, but I don't plan to release it. Flashing all n4 partitions is not a great idea and could brick your phone. Cm is coming. Just waiting on the Korean jb source.

Unless everything works like update PRL/Profile, LTE, reading all 32gb internal sdcard, etc., I wouldn't recommend going the N4 route.
Better to just wait for AOSP based roms once JB source is released.

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but I would feel guilty releasing this when I know that the repartition could kill your phone. I know the phone has been out and you guys have had to wait awhile, but you've waited this long, why screw your phone up when legitimate cm is close. With korean 3.4 kernel source, we will be able to have cm done fairly quickly. It's not up yet but will be soon. Also, I have some exciting stuff planned for after cm (sense, miui, and whatever else you guys want).
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Hey, xbox, with the source would it be easy to port the Korean version of 4.1 too? I am not knocking CM. I just don't see what you gain.
I only ask because it might be a few months before we get updated from Sprint.
Thanks

The t989 devs have put out a literal tonne of jb roms already.
And if you are talking about xda devs helping get official jb out....well.....I will just say not gonna happen. Xda devs are not affiliated with google, samsung or the carriers in any way.

I just installed embryo 6.8 today. So far so good! Was using Whitehawkz Aokp 4.2.2 for about a month...its very good! I just wanted to try a TW rom again, since last time I did there were alot more issues on the t989. Seems most of its been ironed out now....even have signal bars now.
Anyway, those are the 2 I've used recently. There are a bunch of great current roms tho! Just read thru the different rom threads to see what folks are saying about them.
Remember....for what I do with my phone I have very few if any issues....but for what you do with your phone...that could be different. Just nandroid a safe good backup....and flash anything that appeals to you. If you don't like, then restore your nandroid.
Have fun!

T-Mobile has announced software updates for the many of the devices I've used over the years and rarely have they ever followed through. There are plenty of JB ROMs that are worth looking at that will blow any T-Mo OTA out of the water.
And the T989 doesn't have the hardware capacity to run what the S4 will be able to run.

Android 4.2 or 4.3

There's an Unofficial CM build in progress. I've been using it for a few days. The only problems are lack of camera, bluetooth issues (I can't confirm that) and the home button LEDs have been disabled. I'm sure once we have a solid CM base we'll start seeing more ROMs and ports.

And once we get a fully-working CM, it's not (IIRC) that much of a jump to a fully-working AOKP or MIUI or whatever. I have much faith in our awesome devs.

Well it took Samsung about 8 months to release Jelly Bean on the S3. So really they are all pretty bad with updates and most of that could be blamed on the carrier.
If you want immediate updates though, you have to go with Nexus.

thats not entirely true for the s3. it wasnt 8 mnths, it was like 5 - 6 mths. plus they released a couple of non-JB updates during that time before the official JB was released.

Yes the value pack was available for korean version earlier than that but again the phone was available there first.
4.2 & 4.3 for what? its the same stuff. I was hoping from google to released a full new revamp android version..but i feel like 4.2 & 4.3 are just maintenance update to patch stuff. Yes a few things here & there...but that's it.
Now the developer support for this phone has been a little slow. But unfortunately this phone is at&t exclusive witch is stupid move from LG.
But i will buy this phone again no doubt.
I wish the camera software was better. The camera has a lot of potential but the software is not there yet.

Okay one of these thread whining about t mobile updates just got locked. Can we not start a new one?
If you want updates now, root your phone and update it to your heart's content. That is what XDA is here for.
If you want to stay stock for whatever reasons and complain about a lack of updates, do it on the t mobile forums. They have forums there that are monitored by people who might actually listen and do something about it. There are zero people from t mobile reading this thread.

I got the opposite - lag with stock and not with custom ROM's (and kernels) like Wicked and Omega.
