Look at it this way, you'll still be a complete revision ahead.

That's what I suspected, figured I'd ask anyway.

Thanks

Isn't it a leak though? I flashed the leaked firmware yesterday, and it didn't really have any S4 features or similar UI -_-. It looks similar to the leaked 4.2.2, but with a transparent status bar.

Might give it a flash later. Maybe ill be tempted back to tooshjiz

Is there a rooted version around?

TheBigKahuna · Nov 4, 2013

Not scheduled for HERE (US) until later this month.

scotth501 · Nov 4, 2013

looks like my Sprint S3 should get it in 2 days

The Galaxy S3 will get it on Verizon starting on 11/22, AT&T on 11/13, Sprint on 11/6 and T-Mobile on 11/25.

When it will actually happen is anyone's guess!

What is everyone wanting from 4.3?
From my point of view, going from 4.1 to 4.3 on an s3, all ive noticed is a confusing as hell change to the storage system and a bit more speed/smoothness.
I guess though Samsungs version of 4.3 for the s3 will bring a lot of new features so which is everyone looking forward to.
Right now im looking forward to 4.4 in a few weeks but tbh theres no feature im really excited about. Android is mature.. i want the apps to improve now :beer:

Rxpert83 · Nov 4, 2013

Its all about new optimizations. :thumbup:

I hear similar things, funky: that there isn't too much difference between 4.1-4.3. I'm like you waiting for a 4.4 ROM (I'm on Sprint though)

Albie999 · Nov 5, 2013

I'm looking forward to widgets on the lock screen. I know you can get a different lock screen app, which has these, but I do like Touchwiz

Yep, I flashed the German Vodaphone rom the other day, managed to delete/disable the bloatware though. In my honest opinion I'd just wait for the OTA to roll out. From what I gather the Irish rom is eactly the same as the German rom and there's issues.

Main one being screen on time from locked, it can take seconds and really bothers me. Luckily my Nexus 5 was delivered yesterday

tracsportva · Nov 5, 2013

One more day for Sprint...(holding breath)

adrianlobont · Nov 5, 2013

I will be able to update the phone with a different kernel ?
Please help !!!

Keep in mind its a staged rollout. You likely wont be able to download the OTA the very first day

If you are rooted, its not suggested to take an OTA. There will be Roms based on the OTA to flash, as well as any new radio/ect

adrianlobont · Nov 5, 2013

any chance if i will use Kies ?
just installed an s3 original kernel...

You need the stock ROM/ kernel, and recovery to properly take an ota.

And you'll loose root.

Or you could take the much easier route and just flash the 4.3 stock rooted ROM when its out
