Why is there no 4.2 for SGS3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I saw that my old SGS have like two different Android 4.2 roms but why is there no 4.2 for the S3? Is it because Samsung haven't released sources for drivers or something like that?

Reason 1: codeworkX (cm10 dev) has quit developing for the galaxy s3. Because Samsung won't give up exynos 4 source codes.
Reason 2: The source code for android 4.2 has Just been released so don't go thinking a fully working rom with no bugs will be out anytime soon for the s3 (maybe December)
Reason 3: Samsung are busy developing android 4.1.2 at the moment, so we can expect android 4.2 by around February 2013.
we will start seeing android 4.2 ROM'S for the galaxy s3 gt i9300 very soon. no matter if we have the exynos sources or not our devs are great at what they do so we will still get cm10.1 (unofficial) and AOKP (official) and also somepure AOSP roms. As for official sammy 4.2- as i said next year no eta.

I'm curious too, as the best selling Android phone, I would think the S3 would be the first phone to get the update

Say hello to a non pure Google phone... Samsung does the updates- not Google. If Google DID then all android phones will be on the latest software RIGHT now.

Then.. What phone is first? You can't expect s3 to receive 4.2 before nexus right? So witch other phone got it?

Yeah I know the nexus gets it first but look at Apple, they push all their software updates out the same day

Yeah but apple isn't pushing android 4.2 to Samsung headsets eh? I have no clue how you expect Samsung to have their stuff ready to apply to 4.2 the day it was released and push to the world.. That's just insane dude

Trust me you really don't want 4.2 on your phone,I've never seen so many complaints about any Android update as I have 4.2 just check the Nexus 7 forums to see,maybe when more custom ROM,s appear and perhaps resolve the bugs might I update

It will come soon enough.

Why Note Gets new Gallery App and not s3?

Why does Galaxy Note(N7000) Older model, Cheaper than s3 get new gallery app from update? and not s3?
Cause of the Note II promotion?
Then how about s3?
So hell samsung....
Note(N7000) - 10,000,000 + users
S3(i9300) - 20,000,000 + users expected to reach 30,000,000 by the end of the year.
then why Note recieve new launcher and new app from s3 and note II
while s3 gets nothing?
=))

Youre being far too whiny. I've owned the galaxy s previously and when Samsung dropped support for ics, people were complaining, but they certainly weren't whining about it all the time, because we knew we could get whatever we needed from xda, and because we knew it Samsung, just like other android oems, aren't that great with updates.
If you wanted the latest in everything when it comes to updates, you should have just gone with the lousy apple.
Otherwise, just realise that for android, updates take time.
No one said we weren't gonna get the new gallery, though no one said we were either.
Also, this information has been discussed in the jb thread already.
Bcoz of screen size.

[ Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie ]

Did anyone else hear about the upcoming Android software named Lime Pie that will be released by Google? Apparantly LG will be the first to release a device that comea with Lemon Pie. Anyways what are your thoughts?
Lime Pie
I think you refer to "Lime" Pie 5.0
I just think it will have some great new things, maybe the most interesting for me is the profile performace settings, i think it´s a great new idea for our andriods
You can find more info in Techradar for example.
Anyway waiting for realese
I think it's Key Lime Pie, After J (Jelly Bean) is K after all

Android KitKat 4.4: An Upgrade For Everyone (Eventually)

...with a wealth of under-the-hood improvements, KitKat is actually reducing the toll the OS takes on a phone's guts. Thanks to a reduction in KitKat's footprint it can run "comfortably" on devices with as low as 512MB of RAM, so KitKat won't just be for the high-grade device elite once it starts trickling down through carriers.

Optimistic is the only thing you can be when u have to rely on an manufacturer to get updates.
The upgrade thing sucks on Android.
Its basically: oh your phone is 2 years old and you want an update? gtfo, buy a new one and ask again in 2 years lol

I disagree. Android is partly built around the open source mentality. One of the reasons that some phones don't get more than 2 years support is because the manufacturer has not released proper sources. I think it's in customers' responsibility to shoot emails to manufacturers and ask for proper sources as obliged by GPL.
Android phones with proper sources are still being supported even if (some of them) they are 5 years old. Just take a look on CM nightly support. A semi-open source scheme is close to perfect to be the one that's getting the most support as long as the manufacturers do what the law obliges them... In fact I don't think that many embedded systems (other than certain android phones) have got more support in the long term.
We haven't even gotten lollipop 5.1.1 update yet so I doubt we will be getting any marshmallow update any time soon!!
