still happen Signs and Wonders: The extremely popular Samsung Galaxy S3 in the version GT-I9300 also comes in this country in the enjoyment of KitKat – in a roundabout way via custom ROM. The resourceful Devs at XDA has managed the Android 4.4 firmware of the Korean Galaxy S3 model together with TouchWiz UI for the international version port . Nevertheless, the ROM is still issued as a beta, the first user show highly satisfied with Performance and stability
It’s happening. Actually we had already written off the Galaxy S3, Samsung had finally declared the software support for completed and an update to Android 4.4 KitKat deleted – for the local GT-I9300 version. For both the LTE variant GT-I9305 and the U.S. models had 2 GB twice as much memory as the GT-I9300. That argument, however, was only partially valid, showed some developers who were able to port a working 4.4 ROM. This still adhered to teething because the KitKat firmware of the Galaxy Note 2 was the basis for this port.
After these days, however, the South Korean Samsung Galaxy S3 will receive an update to Android 4.4.4, it was a functioning based custom ROM for GT-I9300 be ported. The firmware has been largely taken over, only a few pieces of software, and the security system KNOX were removed. Apart from the well known TouchWiz UI is included. In contrast to the ROM based on the Galaxy Note 2 of this is to run much more stable.
For the installation of the ROM, the device must be reset to factory settings first, so backup all relevant data is recommended. Then you can flash the ROM via Recovery (PhilZ or CWM). Who wants to root, then still flashes SuperSU.
first user report, despite nominal beta status everything was working smoothly and the Galaxy S3 is faster than ever before. Although some parts of the ROMs were still held in Korean, sending SMS from the stock app is still problematic and the signal strength will be displayed incorrectly. Apart from that you can already use the device but as a “Daily Driver” – especially developers arter97 already working on a second beta that should fix the SMS problem
If you want to KitKat, but do not fancy TouchWiz has. , may be the way to get by CyanogenMod the latest version of Android on their devices.
Are there any among our readers owner of a Galaxy S3 that are pleased with the successful porting, or are now all switched to newer devices
