The latest Android 4.4.4 KitKat version is now available for download on the Samsung Galaxy SIII Neo GT-I9300I.
The dual-SIM smartphone was launched back in April running on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, but now it has been brought up to date. The Snapdragon 400-powered Galaxy SIII Neo I9300I is a dual-SIM droid with 4.8" Super AMOLED HD screen, an 8MP rear cam, and 16GB expandable storage. It has a single-SIM sibling, called Galaxy SIII Neo I9301I, but it is running on KitKat since launch.
The new update brings all the latest Android optimizations and bug fixes, faster and more fluid interface, transparent status bar, among others. The update should be waiting for you via the OTA service. It sould become available (if not already) on Samsung KIES too.
Apparently the update is seeding in selected Asian countries. The process is gradual, but it will eventually hit everyone worldwide.
Via GSM Arena.
Firmware is now available to download on SAM Mobile, currently for Kazakhstan, Hong Kong and India.

Other countries will follow. Check the link above for firmware details, download and how to flash.
Also, there is already ROOT and TWRP 2.7.1.0 for 4.4.4 on SIII Neo, check the link below.

One of the dramatic improvements is the RAM consumption. Now, my S3 Neo uses less than 50% RAM compared to Android 4.3. Very nice!

Hi! Battery life is very good. 3G ON all the time with moderate Wi-Fi usage. GPS is OFF. 1 day and 2 hours currently, and still have 11% battery to use, so with normal usage, it will last more than 1 day. :good:
Also, power saving mode is disabled. With this feature enabled, I think it will last some more.

I see from the official page that their rom has support for S3 (QCOM). Do you managed to install it on S3 Neo (I9300I)? Aside from battery drain, everything is working? The official download page doesn't mention I9300I, only I9300. Dual SIM works?

So far, impressions are that battery life is much improved in this version. I assume our devs could build a ROM for rooted AT&T devices based on this firmware.
Same changelist as the rest of the newest 4.1.2 releases. Nothing new.

It's the U.S. version. Btw, I just traded my gn2 for a gs4. Screen feels tiny in comparison. Then I took out my iPhone 3G and it looked enormous. It's about the same size as the l920 but has a much larger screen.

I have the n7100 and it has indeed improved battery life for 4.1.2...however 4.1.1 still has the smoothest performance and best better life I have seen yet.
Ok so does upgradimg to the new software kill the battery or not? I have a refurbished one with the previous spftware but it is lettimg me know the update is available. Should I update or stay on old software?

battery gives little bit less as compared to 4.1.2...... my device useually give screen on timr 8:30 hrs of web browsing on 3g(4.1.2) ..... but after 4.2.2 update it screen hardly gives 7:30-8:00 hrs avg... I recommend to stick with stock rom and wait for the kitkat update..

Too many peeps don't realize the main issue with 4.2.2 is media. I get at least 8 hours just fine with daily use with 4.2.2 and WIFI enabled all the time, and use Spen 50/50. Of course power saving is enabled. I use Greenify and 360 Security, mostly because I have 200 apps and some are a bit of a memory hog. I use the stock touchwiz as many launchers are too buggy or become just as bloated as stock loaded apps for my own taste.
So far I have seen just about everything that could cause battery drain, and many point their fingers to 4.2.2 because they are too lazy to figure out what works well and what does not. Plus there are so many app updates that break functionality, no wonder Apple peeps are always a bit snobbish.
I have a few replies and a thread in the Q&A section. I have tried both custom ROM and prior release ROM. I am satisfied with 4.2.2 as it is very stable and works well for me.
The title says it all.
Explain some reason or opinion.
Thanks in advance. :good:

Why would 4.2.2 ever be preferable?
4.4 is lightyears ahead compared to 4.2 (I'm talking about stocks only)
E.g:
More free RAM (200mb at least)
more smoothness
Better performance (10% with benchmark antutu and 3dmark)
Stronger wifi signal

Battery life is better, and gamma/brightness depend on your previous ROM. Try the one in my sig if you want a definite improvement.
Right now im content with 4.2.2 because i'm rooted, use Nova Launcher and it connects to my dual micro usb/usb flash drive to watch movies. I can also move files around using ES file explorer.
Is there OTG support with the KK update?
Can you write files to SD card with KK?

5.1.1 runs great on my 10.1. Much smoother than KitKat. I have seen an improvement in battery life. Lag is not as noticeable, but still there (Gallery app is still a mess). S-note still syncs files across multiple devices.
Overall, I would recommend it. I have only really seen improvements, not problems.

If you play any games your battery will drain WAY fast. Ever since 5.1.1 my battery sucks when I play games, yet Netflix and other entertainment apps work fine.

I been using the Panama release without issues on my 600. You can go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P600/ and look for updates. Also look for samfirm program to download the firmware you want to try. Then use Odin to flash the file. There are instructions in the general section.

Just one comment on responsiveness. 5.1.1 faster to me too. At first it was weird because in all my AOSP devices Lollipop is slower and then I remembered that Samsung's version of Android is heavily modified, so I went one and heavily debloated both Lollipop and Kitkat Roms and lo and behold! The KitKat Samsung rom was now notably faster of the two (slower still than AOSP). The gains are in fact even more tractable if you run Linux on top of Android. Linux on Kitkat Roms is about 3 times faster in fact, I can't quite put my finger why is that so.
So -yeah- Stock Samsung is faster if you run 5.1.1 (but still slow by my standards), but in fact KitKat is the least demanding OS...
Ok, so I hate asking this question but I need to update from my S4 because I want a better camera, and faster CPU so I can't try the roms directly
I am looking at the Note 4 or Galaxy S5. Unfortunately the S5 looks like it has more active support, but I really want a Note 4 because of the better hardware (basically everything, UHS Storage, more RAM, CPU, bigger battery, Optical Stabilization...)
What ROMs are you all running as a daily driver? I've been searching and it doesn't look like there are a ton of super stable ROM's in active support like with the S5
I prefer AOSP but stability is most important to me (having a fully functional phone). My least favorite thing in the world is when my GPS stops working right when I need to take a turn in chaotic traffic

I ain't gonna get into a whole Rom comparison story, again. But i will state this. The N4 is an awesome phone, straight up, nothing compares to it. I just bought another one. But as it is aging, development on it is slowing down, But there are a handful of great devs still here with amazing work. I use to also like aosp for its lean state but i would have to say touchwiz is less error prone. Only my opinion though!
I can't compare it with the s5 development , never looked there.
Came from a s5... No regrets.
Note 4 is superior.
Thanks for responding fellas.
Are you both running the stock Samsung firmware??
I dont know if I can handle TouchWiz, but at the same time I don't think I can give up the Note 4 hardware (over the s5).
I think I'm going to pick one up and play with it. If none of the AOSP roms is stable enough for me, I'll stick with a model TouchWiz rom or go back to stock. I'll update this when I figure out that part!
EDIT:
Well shoot - I managed to snag an S5 for $60 on ebay - sight un-seen. From one of those larger used phone re-sellers
Probably half as cheap but I am going to sorely miss OSS from the Note 4, increased battery, quick charge, and UHS storage. I figure I can sell my S4 off, and upgrade to a Note 4 in the future.
Good news is that Lineage OS is officially supported on the Sprint S5, ASOP is a huge reason that I love Android (and kind of loathe Samsung)
I have a Sprint Note 4 for sale for $150. Combined with the OBAR Rom and a ZeroLemon 10,000 mah battery this phone is a tank. Mine just ate dirt after I updated it to 6.0.1. DO NOT UPDATE. Two days after the update I got EMMC error (Nand died) and now anyone else I speak to about the 6.0.1 update killed their phone. I bought two Note 4's and put OBAR back on it. No issues and everything runs fast and smooth.

Hell I have updated, and down graded my phone numerous times, and phone still rock solid.. I went back to 5.1.1 because it is faster, battery life can't be beat, plus you do not have to give permission each time you install a app.. Also I can get rid of all Sprint bloat ware without using a 3rd party app. I also like the square icons rather than the rounded, and the icon size is perfect.

Well PG1 is MM (6.0) so if you wanna stay on it id look for a MM rom
how ever Hybrid 3.0 is LP (5.1) and yes my signal is much better on 5.1 than 6.0 but each phone is different
but for me hybrid is perfect no random reboots and been using it as a daily driver for a lil more than a full year
and it plays nice with xposed... can help if you need it.
the op will have the necessary steps to revert back to 5.1 if need be :good:
