Actually Samsung has released 4.2 JB but s Samsung has not updated to 4.4 its coz Samsung only targets New and flagship mobiles for updates..So we lag behind and finally dropped of from list...It's not that they can't give they can but they won't...Its Samsung Rules..

Is grand good?

Hey friends
I just wanna knw...
For me grand is a awesome smart phone but there are very few development, just few roms, mods and just some great developers like balli, chotu and few more( sorry I forgot names) there even I a low end phone like galaxy mini (galaxy pop) and micromax canvas 2 ( mmx a110) has a lots of custom roms and mods and alot of developers interested.
I have both smart phones too and there are many roms like cm7 cm10 cm10.1, miui4,miui5, lewa os,pca and many other
So why our sweet and be loved smart phone grand has very slow development???
Sorry if I made any mistake

For me Custom roms is just extra advantage .... but I would be very very happy even if there wasn't any custom rom for my beloved grand.
Who cares if there any custom rom available or not ....
stock rom is the best .... if u know how to make 100% use of it.
Its just my personal saying ...

Yes it's true stock rom is best. But still XDA is all about development.
I think balli is the lone active developer in our forum. More over Grand is in low activity devices. I think somehow it's true.

bro you should be happy that we have few but very good dev's
we got our own section in xda
there are hundreds of devices that are waiting to get rooted after years
micromax a110 have many roms cause all Chinese phones are almost same, where roms are easy to port
but for grand devs have to make too many changes work harder, even when porting s2 rom like cm10.x
so be happy with happy with what you get rather regretting for nothing
when you're at some good place people will not ask what rom you're using but device , brand
what will be your choice a piece of just sh*t on cherry top of it or cake????

Best phone
galaxy grand is the premium segment phone supporting all the features of android. other phones like micromax or other china based phones did not support various sensors and supports only basic 2-3 sensors such as light sensor and proximity sensor.
i have used other android based devices of non branded companies. even also samsung s duos irritate me some times when it works slow or get hanged.
so far there is no single issue in galaxy grand to irritate.
it is enough for me to root the phone as 4.1.2 (currently using 4.2.2) is much stable and sufficient amount of ram is free for user.
Its a new phone ... give some tym for development ...

You should start with Probam latest release 4.4.3 IMO
Spen support only available through 3rd party apps

There is no "best" ROM. Try a few out and see which one is best for your usage.

Can we get duak sim function on CM for our galaxy grand?
I think due to lack of dual sim capability on CM, most of the users of SGG avoid to use cm.
Atleast in my case, I am waiting for that feature in cm.

but happy with the performance of these ROMs developed by our Gr8 devs... i can sacrifice one sim for the performance.
You can sacrifice but not everyone can do this.
Specialy in those case who uses one sim for work and other sim for home use.

kitkat is in very unstable developing phase right now and i think cm10.2 better option for us now as it is in more or less stable right now.
so first cm 10.2 then cm11 for us.

You are right.. Yesterday I saw kitkat running (cm 11) on galaxy s3..Which is a preview version.... Samsung galaxy phones are one step ahead because the features that came in kitkat are already embedded in android 4.2.2. For example transparent notification bar.,contacts search etc.. Waiting for your cm 10. 2

Is the proximity sensor ok ??
Hi there !
I installed this rom on my phone and noticed that it may be the proximity sensor which is leading to reboot.. because the sensor jumps in right where we answer an incoming call ( phone reboots at that time) and again when we make an outgoing call ( again.. the phone reboots at that point).. so is there any method to disable the proximity sensor so that I can test it ?? .. just an opinion because I felt that it might be the reason..
Thanks and Great Job Devs..
cm 10.2
i download cm 10.2 for galaxy grand from xda dovelopers site and flash it properly through cwm recovery. after booting SYSTUM UI always stopping …means popup window appers and say ” SYSTUM UI STOPPED WORKING “…
I was using stock android 4.2.2 before installing

Official Android 4.4 coming in March/April

Really? I't seems too early... at least for note 2. We've been in 4.1.2 for an eternity! :laugh:
LoL, please leave the word "official" out of speculation threads like this...
Seriously doubt we'll see the update, much less before Q3 2014.

Exactly this. Just jumped from 4.2 to 4.3 (and more recently 4.4) and the changes are phenomenal
Damn, you guys believe everything you read. I could have made that spreadsheet and taken a picture from my phone for all you know.

I think I will have Note 4 sooner than Note 2 got KitKat... sadly
I think That's not true.. We can not trust samsung...
I thought google sends official pure roms to test manufacturers.

I reckon by the time 4.3 gets out to europe, India will be getting 4.4 at the present rate! Or am I being sarcastic?
