Hi,
So any ideas on when the 4.3 software is expected to roll out for N7100 (Note II International Version) ?

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.

I can't wait for the 4.3 update. Do you guys think we'll get Note 3 functionalities like Air Command?:cyclops:

4.3 Update
Yeah my brother's S3 got the update last night so hoping that we will be getting them by the end of next week at the least :laugh:

I think so i mean the 4.3 leaked editions have compatible mods for the air command and i seriously hope that they have integrated those in the upcoming update and moreover the note 2 4.3 update is supposed to be compatible with the galaxy gear :laugh: so lets hope for the best :good:

There's pretty much zero chance it will include these features officially

Why do u say that?? I mean the Note 2 is supposed to be compatible with the galaxy gear right ? and if that's the case then the Note 3 Features should be included logically.

It is Bluetooth LE in 4.3 Android that is needed with galaxy gear manager that is needed to run gear... doesn't need other note 3 features
So Samsung will not release note 3 features to note 2..it makes business sense for them
Mj5 will be released as official.. so no note 3 apps on official release..
Lucky for us we have electron team to port those features

jelly bean 4.3???

I just heard from CNET that nexus is going to get 4.3 jellybean,

u heard it right they have rolled out Jb Android 4.3 (JWR66V) for nexus 4 and other for nexus 7,10 etc
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
so as far samsung is concerned it will take atleast 3 months from now if we are lucky or maybe even end of this year but yes the good news is that samsung has confirmed the 4.3 update for note2 but have not commented anything on the release date yet
There are already many many threads for same subject and I think they will be adding up

How come nexus devices get updates 1st?

Because Nexus devices are devices that are made by Google's standards and android is developed for this devices by Google themselves. Then with the android source code (AOSP) manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, Sony etc etc. are free to make their own rom for it, this is why it will always follow later, especially 'cause they have to make sure it is completely bugfree. Next to the big manufacturers we have ofcourse developers like CyanogenMod team and other good developers (i.e. from XDA!) who provide us from great roms too, and some even better than the stock samsung roms.

Will people stop talking about the s4 sales. They just posted they made over 6.6 billion which is up from last year.
So they didn't sell as many as they wanted. Well the s3 is still an awesome phone so why would everyone just to an s4

Samsung is directly monitoring the Note II General forums, and they delay in a couple of weeks the launch every time someone starts a topic about it.
Thanks, OP. I hope Santa Claus remembers your deeds today.

"Crap" is relative. One could call CM10.x crap for the Note 2, as it doesn't have the S-Pen features, leaving the device rather crippled compared to TW.

No, TW compared to CM actually is crap. CM S Pen Add-on, Note Buddy and Papyrus and S Pen features (incl. Pulling in or out detection) work perfectly.
definitely by the time samsung releases official 4.3 there will be 4 to 5 more threads on the same topic for sure
By the time Sammy is almost ready to release 4.3, Key Lime Pie 5.0 will be out and they will then decide to skip 4.3 for Note II and go directly to 5.0.
I am having issues building cm.
I just know how to initiate a build , I don't know how to fix because I don't know any programming language.

What about 4.2.2 or 4.3 for Note II from Samsung

Will we ever have a new version of software for us?
4.2.2 - missed the timeline
We heard that we will get 4.3 - No words from Samsung yesterday.
Does anybody have an idea about it.
Post on this at least to protest against Samsung about their attitude against our phone. Lets create some pressure on them to release it fast.
Cheers
I have been waiting for 4.3 update or news in 4 september but only received 4.1.2 small (~105mb) performance update yesterday.

I would probably be satisfied with 4.1.2 except that I was running 4.2.2 on my Galaxy S in January in already. Ok, admittedly that was a custom rom, but still, to DOWNGRADEfrom a 3 year old device to my shiny new Note ll, and then never get an update is hard to live with and, IMO, entirely unacceptable. I agree that we should make a noise about this and stand up and be counted!

A Samsung insider says that a couple of former flagships will get updated to the latest version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat within the next couple of months. Namely, the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 should get the update by the end of March this year.
A Samsung software engineer with knowledge on the subject claims that both devices will be updated in late Q1 of this year, not long after the expected Galaxy S4 KitKat rollout. The update will include performance tweaks and updates, and a few new software features.
The transparent status bar, new print feature from settings, and immersive full-screen mode will be included.
The KitKat update for the S3 and Note 2 is expected to be outed in phases, which means that carrier branded variants will likely receive the update as much as a full month later.

yes there will be an update as samsung generally gives 2 major updates for its flagship phones so note 2 got its first update that is 4.3 so there will be an update
now the question when....
hopefully in april (as told by sammobile.com)
Now or March/April (later if Samsung decides to drag again.)
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!

[Q] Pen Apps from Note 10.1 2014 Edition

Hi,
I have the Note 10.1 2014 edition in addition to the Note 8.0
The "Pen Apps" feature on the Note 10.1 2014 Ed. is very nice. It allows you to draw a window and open the app in that window (some advanced type of multiwindow)
IS it anyhow possible to integrate this feature on any Note.8 rom ?
Thanks.

Touchwiz is not an open-source project. This features might require newer firmware and/or framework to work and device specifications might be a problem. We need to wait Samsung to release new update.

I know that touchwiz is not open source. But there are devs who can port multiwindow from some Galaxy devices to other Galaxy devices (which do not have MW by default)

These features appeared for the first time in the Note 3, 4.3 firmware. Some developers ported them to the Note 2, but they could do it because the Note 2 received a firmware update to 4.3.
Our Note 8 has only Android 4.2; I'm afraid we have to wait for a firmware update before some developer can port new features to our device.

well, I doubt that Samsung will update Note 8 to Android 4.3
but if they ever do then these features might come with the update.
In any case would it be possible to port it to Note 8 with Android 4.2 ?

Use ykkfive's rom. It's a port of the GN3's version of Android 4.3, with features like Pen Window and Air Command intact. I personally recommend downloading the app "Multiwindow Plus" as well, as it allows you to have 4 apps open side by side. The rom only works with the N5110 as of now, but the developer is porting it to the N5100. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642647

IIRC, there's talk of that in the thread. I don't want to get falsely get your hopes up, so check it out for yourself. It's really an awesome ROM. I flashed it a bit after getting an actual Note 3, which inflicted my Note 8's S-Pen with some raging jealousy... this ROM fixed that

KitKat has been confirmed for the Galaxy S3 as I had suspected. Use this to discuss Kitkat, and post any relevant information to the release.

So I read a report. May not be real but I don't see what lends it to being fake. The AT&T Galaxy S3 may be updated to Kitkat.. Which means us here at d2tmo should also get it if this holds true.

Samsung has confirmed that the S3 will get kitkat. Now its just a matter of waiting for the update to be finished, sent to T-Mobile to be approved, and then pushed out.
So apparently I cant post links yet but if you go to the android and me website, they have an article with a link to the press statement made by Samsung.
Based on the devices on the list, we will probably have to wait a while, at least a month or two is my guess, just considering how new each device is.
Sidenote: if you have a Nexus 5, why do you care about the S3???
Not a rumor, its been confirmed that all U.S S3 variants will be 4.4.2 It makes a lot of sense for samsung to still update firmware on the still pretty popular and 2 year old device like ours. The only thing that could knock my S3 off its pedestal could be the S5, so I'm waiting for Feb 24th to come and see if it seduces me enough to jump on it
They started rolling out kit kat yssterday. I dontvknow how long for the s3 to get it. But its about time we get it.

What's the over/under on the likelihood that Knox has undergone a major revamp to try and make it harder to crack in the next release?
I really like my SGS3, but after all of the crap Samsung has pulled against the modding community, I think this will be my last Samsung device.

I'm just curious why anybody cares about touch wiz kitkat? I've used a few different kitkat roms now including cm11 and they all work pretty well. A few have some quirks but overall they've been easily reliable enough to use everyday. Other than wifi calling what else do you like about TW versus anything else?

I agree with your sentiment. WIFI calling is the only reason I use TW and now, with multiboot, I can have a TW ROM as a secondary ROM and run CM11/AOKP KK as my daily driver.
I'm sure there's a lot of other folks who prefer TW to AOSP - different strokes for different folks.
I've never really liked TW but I'm curious to see how they integrate TW S voice with kit kat Google now.

Its not that TW is bad by all means...rather its KNOX and the excessive bloat it comes with. There are much worse things than Touchwiz trust me.

Since I posted my other response I've ended up going back to TW 4.3. I didn't know this until I tried it but aosp doesn't have tv out like TW does, at least not using the hd I cable I already have. I miss some of the aosp features but I really don't notice any difference between kitkat and jellybean.
kitkat is officially rolling out for the S4. So its the Note 3 and S4 already with updates. Could the S3 be next or would they go for the Note 2 first and leave us last?

But when will kitkat finally be available for the s3?
I would say a couple months the most
Now is when the s4 is getting kit Kat wow. It's all about market strategy. We probably will get it at the earliest by June. Samsung probably doesn't want a 2 year old device running the same thing too close to when the s5 releases.
