Well, as you all know the most successful mid-range Android smartphone by Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos GT-I9082 was launched with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean which later got the update of Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean along with the upgrade of TouchWiz NatureUX 2.0, the most spectacular Android launcher (the User Interface) in the world and also some incredible system enhancements. It was said that Android 4.2.2 will just bring the end of its upgrade life-cycle.
But, unfortunately after upgrading to Android 4.2.2, most of the users are facing Gallery Storage bugs (Internal Storage is showing used space more than it's total capacity because of the fragmented and buggy Gallery app. Clearing the data of Gallery app fixes the problem temporarily). Some people are also facing very quick battery drainage and some other unexpected problem.
So, for these all, is Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos GT-I9082 going to taste the newest flavor of Android, the Android 4.4 KitKat which has been developed keeping the thoughts of low RAM devices in mind? It has been said that Android 4.4 KitKat can EASILY run on a device packed with 512MB of RAM.
I found some confusing information from these websites. Which one is to be trusted and which not?

Samsung Phones to get Android 4.4 Update
For now, there is an internal Samsung Knox document which was leaked, and which showed a few devices which are going to get the Android 4.4 update, and the document actually showed the devices which would get the Samsung Knox in the coming update. The devices are as follows:
Samsung Galaxy S4
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Samsung Galaxy Mega (no confirmation whether the 5.8, 6.3 or both)
Samsung Galaxy S3
Samsung Galaxy Note II
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 & Tab 2
The Galaxy S3 and Note II have been facing a few regional lock issues and that is what is prompting Samsung to come up with a major update on these devices, as confirmed by one of the Samsung representatives. But again, the document mentions it is the S3 which has 2GB of RAM, and that is the U.S. version which might be getting the update, and the International users might have to wait and watch if Samsung has made it ready for their devices too or not.

nothing can be said as of now unless samsung releases the list of all device getting kitkat....they might release the list later coz they are sending out the 4.3 updates as of now............so wait till samsung releases an official list like sony.....
but i dont think grand will get the update
seems like you've done much research on this topic
yeh if grand will get further KK update then we all feel really happy for that,
but its samsung guies... no one even knows what samsung users comes to get until samsung officially announce any update list
waiting.....& hoping....
...
Kit Kat can run perfectly on our devices. If you keep tabs on the feed here, it runs well on 512MB devices. Not only that but I dont know if it was o Android Authority or Phandroid, Google stated that this release uses 20% less system resources and that it will be available now for mid-range devices.
Grand will surely get update as the latest update is meant for mid range smartphones.
THANKS Button ✌ is there to save Thanks post indeed
I don't think Samsung will release kitkat for grand
Sent from my GT-I9082 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Nope, they will always prioritize their flagships... even if our devices get the update, it would be months after the flagships. By the time kitkat arrives on our devices, the flagships will get the next android (4.5?)
Yes it looks like that Samsung will not release kitkat for Galaxy Grand devices.
I guess 4.2.2 was our last update

Good News
I've found in this Website (SamMobile) that, many of the low-end and mid-range Samsung Devices are going to taste the crispy KitKat. So, it seems to be that our Grand is also going to achieve it soon.

The bitter part is new updates come to New phones and the 'old' phones get avoided...... Still waiting for 4.3 before 4.4 comes... Cuz there's no hope of getting 4.4 before even getting 4.3....

Official Kitkat for Galaxy grand.
Hello guys. Finally the waiting time is over. The official list has come out and grand is included in the list. It had to be included. They did not have any choice except to do so , as only one major update has been delivered till now. So only a matter of a month or so till we get the update.
http://pic.youmobile.org/imgcdn/samsung_lol_eta_phones_list.jpg
What do you think how reliable is this source? According to this sheet we will get 5.0 in march to april.
Samsung has hell of a lot work to do. Because they have uncountable number of midrange devices. :laugh:
S4 Mini, S5 Mini, Galaxy A3, A5, A7, E5, E7, Grand 2, Note 3 Neo to name a few.
But certainly S4 mini and s5 mini will get in 2nd quarter of this year. :good: Once S6 is launched world wide.
http://www.androidsilverprogram.com/2014/07/List-Of-Smartphones-Getting-Android-L-update.html
At the bottom of the page is a list including the S4 Mini as well.
Although I still haven't received the 4.4.2 update in my region yet
Hoping for good things though :fingers-crossed:
Waiting........
Yup. Been checking every month this year and I haven't seen anything promised later than April. So it's crunch time! Really hoping it'll happen soon, I'm terribly annoyed by the limitation apps have writing to the sd card in any location other than their own folder. You all think that this will be different in lollipop?
i hope we get the 5.1 version straight, because 5.0 has issues
I hope this update.
Otherwise, i choose another manufacturer after years with Samsung.
I gave up the S5 Mini after realizing that has problems such as low-quality recordings (sounds captured with mic) compared the S4 Mini and the camera gets to be lower.
If this update happen I stand with Samsung and I will try a S6 Mini . Otherwise i give up Samsung.

S5 mini is a horrible device. No custom roms, no dev support because it has no source code, uses poor chipset and is priced like it is the best phone ever.
No wonder the price of that phone came down by 130$ in India within 20days of its launch.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...l-5-0-release-date-when-can-i-get-it--1257804
Other Samsung handsets may have to wait a little longer, although we'd expect that most high profile devices released in the last 18 months to 2 years will get the update, including the Galaxy S4 Mini and the Galaxy S5 Mini.
Let's hope the first release hasnt got all the issues the S4 firmware has/had.
Guys can anyone tell me if the stock lollipop , incase it exists, will have sdcard issues? Do i have to use sdfix or foldermount again??

Hi Devs and modders,
the S4 mini LTE (I9195) is still a very popular phone.
Is it possible to create a (modified) S8 rom to port it to the S4 mini to have a "S8 mini" ?
There are a lot of S4 mini user who would be happy to update their phones to a "S8 mini"
So is there are skilled dev/modder who could makes this dream of us S4 mini users come true?
Thanks in advance.
Tku12
I can do it. But since i traded my s4 mini with an galaxy s3 4g....
Hi!
I wanna help u, how can I contact u?
Any news about this? I am sure that a lot of s4 mini owners would love this rom.
I want this rom...
What features do you expect it to have and which version of Android? Was it just meant to port the style (UI) of the S8 on the latest stock Rom for the s4 mini LTE?!
I'm not a dev, but I might also be interested to have S8 mini rom. I just bought a Note 4 now and repaired the Touch of my S4 mini. Now it looks like new from the outside, only the software-inside is still looking ugly. It might be the first try of creating an own rom..... I'm ready I guess, gonna look later today on it. (Y)

Add all features of s8.
Wishlist
S8 Port -
Android 6 with Magisk Support and XposedF
S8 apps an Features (BLF, AOD, Edge Panel Other Advance Features) whatever is Possible
S8 Samsung Experience UI
S8 fonts and icons
:laugh:
seria genial tenerl ele stilo s8 en un s4 mini
So is anyone actually working on this?
I wanted 3 variant for i9190 too :angel:
It's possible port this rom for s4 mini?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/development/rom-hyper-rom-unique-t3567369
It's very difficult as the last Samsung update is 4.4.4 so only you can add s8 themes , icons ,fonts etc
Any new about this? Anyone is working on it?

Apparently not... So sad... It would be best if it had same Android and features as S8, well some of them at least, no bloatware...
I dont think this will ever happen. you could install
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-s4-mini-3g-lte-t3471761
Its Official lineageos Android 7.1.2 for our phone from arco68. His rom works very well. Use it since 6-7 months.
You could possible find install theme/launcher/icons to have look a like a galaxy s8 (mini). I as example use nova launcher and MIUI Icons (doesn't like the newer ones). And MIUI 6 Wallpapers.
It's without any bloatware. Android 4.4.4 from samsung has around 350? packages (around 90 I disabled). Lineage os around 150-190.

It's impossible to make an s8 rom because reasons.
We don't even have official 6.0 TOUCHWIZ, so yeah.
But is possible theme kitkat stock rom, like Hoplite or VROM
Please, anyone?
Don't know if possible but a S8 rom for s4 mini i9190 users with samsung features and fonts in the new android 8.0 would be incredibly brilliant. If it's someone who could make it, it would be awesome. Please, if you read me and know how to do it, make me happy. :fingers-crossed:
S8 Mini
I really need this rom because i love the s8 features, I would love this rom to be android Lollipop 5 or Marshmallow 6...:good::good:
Hi, is there any dev still working on this device? Has anyone tried compiling lineage OS 16 for the s3 i747?
I would like to, but I heard that it's a pain to make.
There are devices like sony xperia V with msm8960 which have android 8 and 9.
Thanks

Android 9 probably won't even run right on the S3 given its age and old hardware.

S2 now run with android 10 (lineageos 17) although it is older and weaker
Interesting, didn't even know the S2 could run Marshmallow, let alone Android 10.

What! Given its age and old hardware! Ouch!
While I am a newbie, I have long enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CRdroid on my old (circa 2012) Samsung Galaxy S3 i747
The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid ( based on Android 8 ). Runs great. Long battery life.
BTW I am totally free of Google; no Google Play Store, no Google Pay, no Google Framework, no Gapps, no Google spyware, no Google bloatware, no Google tracking etc.
I download all my apps as APK's which are readily available on the Net ( Google them . . . just kidding! ).
My older Samsung S3 i747 was a 'd2att' originally locked to Rogers, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Then switched over to MTS (Manitoba Telephone System). Now running on Bell Canada. My replacement is also a Samsung S3 i747, originally running T-Mobile in Arizona, now running on Bell Canada.
These are damn fine phones!
Well if the S2 can handle Android 10, then I guess the S3 can too. I haven't used my S3 in like 2 years. I have a S10+ now as my daily driver.

actually if the s3 could run up to Android 11 because the s3 19300 does. The problem is that nobody has wanted to continue taking port for the 1747 model because in my s3 19300 there is up to android 10 which is less powerful than the 1747 model, that is, the 19300 has less ram than the 1747 and supports android 10 2021. conclusion without anyone that is motivated to remove the port will stay in Android 7.1 which is which I have the 1747
