Grand Prime Lollipop possible on galaxy s3 i9300? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Is it possible to port Grand Prime's rom (lollipop, not kitkat) to ours galaxy s3 (i9300)?
Sry for weak English

There are a few ROMs that are lollipop based. Try temasek or JustArchi's one on the ROM section. They work great.

No and it wont ever be. That is because Grand prime uses completely different SOC (Snapdragon 410) than our S3. (Exynos 4412) And probably also different proprietary chips like modem, GPS, wifi, audio dac, accelerometer, etc.
With Note 2 it was possible because they have similar internals (Same Exynos SOC) which is not the case here.

galaxy s4 has way too many features that require that kind of hardware resources which gs4 possess but our s advance does not...as of now there is no port available but if it comes it wont run in any productive manner....alternatively you can use apps available for those features like clone camera is one such example...

It's better buy Galaxy S3 at that price if you can forgo dual sim functionality. It's the most popular and successful Galaxy series smart phone. Much better specs at a sacrifice of dual sim functionality.

Agree. S3 is the most supported device by custom dev. Try to visit their thread there's so many good custom rom and custom kernel.

Just ordered it from India. Should get it next week.
I love my Note 2 but need a dual sim device. I own s4 mini duo but it is too tiny
Will let you know comparison between N2 - S4 mini duo - Grand 2

[Q] is it still worth getting the galaxy s3 in 2014?

Hi, I can get a deal offer for the s3 at the price of $233. But I have some questions
Is it still worth getting the galaxy s3 in 2014?
WIll it get official android L from samsung (there is already official kitkat right?)
if there's no official android L, does it have official Cyanogenmod support and so will it get android L cyanogenmod?
for future android L custom roms , will there be problems with some drivers? (e.g. my htc desure never got proper camera support on android 4.X roms as the drivers are not available). Are all drivers(and source code) released by samsung for the s3?
how does it compare with the galaxy s4? is the latter worth the price difference
how is camera (important for me) as compared to smarphones in the same price range available today (e.g. xperia sp, galaxy s4 mini)
thx for your time reading my long list of questions and waiting your replies and suggestions guys. Thx
No, no and no, yes and unlikely, yes and no, s4 is better but not by much, camera is good but only on stock rom.
is camera bad on custom roms? and there's no cyanogenmod official support?

1) Absolutely no for the only 1 GB of RAM.
Actually on Amazon is very sold its Neo variant with 1,5 GB, but according to me it's a madness: a newer hardware is highly preferable and x64 architecture is coming.
2) Absolutely no and you are wrong: no KitKat official support for S3, why it should be extended to Android L? It's impossible!
3) Yes, it's promised by Cyanogen team, but never more the bull**** did with CM 10.2, working of course on a stable rom to switch to CM 11 nightlies as soon as possible.
When CM 11 stable is released, you can stay on CM 12 nightlies.
4) Samsung drivers are already released for custom rom, except for the 2-way call recording.
CyanogenMod prefers to use the hybrid and open source drivers, but with a specific BOEFFLA kernel, actually experimental, you can get the official and proprietary drivers, much better than first.
5) Galaxy S4 is obviously greater than S3 under any aspect, its price is about €300-350.
6) S3 has an excellent camera, but in AOSP roms it's not provided of a good stabilization, so pictures are a bit more moving than in stock rom.
Yup I know there are better hardware (obviously.. it is 2 yrs old) but for the price of $233 is it worth it? I don't want to spend more than $300 on a phone.

will check this out... if the community of custom roms is active (but 5.5" is a bit too big for me and i hope it has sdcard and removable battery)
edit: are you sure it is better than the S3? looking at the specs, it does not look that great and it's a mediatek cpu ... )

I don't know the Mediatek reputation, LG G Pro under many aspects is the ideal phone for your budget.
On Amazon.it its price is about €250, I think less on a bigger store such Amazon US or DE.
As me you want to root the device and flash a custom rom... LG is the only trademark who guarantee warranty also under root permissions.
Please can someone get me the quaraqumus QS-i9300-KK-v2.6 resumable link

Upgrading from S4 Mini, and stability

I recently smashed up my S4 Mini. I was going to repair it, but it seems for not much more cost I could get an S5 Mini or Alpha.
I have been happy running CyanogenMod 11 for several years now; very stable. Reading here, looks like I might not get the same stability from S5 Mini or Alpha though -- given the choice, should I upgrade or stay with the S4 Mini?
Small screen and changeable battery are important to me, as is running a fairly 'open' ROM with PrivacyGuard and some other features I got from CyanogenMod 11. Nothing too experimental though, as I still need to reliably use the phone day-to-day for work etc.
Thanks -- Mark
Alpha has far more better hardware specification (both exynos and qualcom variants) than S5 Mini. I'm using Alpha with exynos and it's a really solid phone but Cyanogen based ROMs aren't working good enough for me to use them day-to-day, in the other hand firmware based ROMs like EpsilRom are working great so if you can live with it than it's worth taking. As far as I know Snapdragon version has no problem with Cyanogenmod but I heard that its CPU is not as fast as exynos one (but it's still the same chip that is in S5). Exynos variant is G850F and Snapdagon is G850W. The only advantages for S5 Mini for me are that it's waterproof and it has micro SD card slot.
Thanks -- very useful.
Can you tell me more of what you mean by "firmware based ROM"? I'm guessing you might mean they are modified versions of the stock ROM, rather than being a compile from source code?
I'll need to look into this situation with variants Exynos vs. Qualcom variants, and which variants are the one on the second hand market here (I'm in the UK)

Yes I meant modified version of the stock ROM, I'm using this one right now: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-alpha/development/rom-epsilrom-future-t3311333
Exynos variant is like default for Europe so it would be easier to get, and be carefull with these variants because there are few exynos versions(for example G850F and G850K) and few with snapdragon (G850W, G850A)
In theory if g850a was fully unlocked, this forum would be very active :/
Both @kyasu and @modpunk develop LOS 13/14.1.
Definitely if you are choosing from s5mini and ALPHA. Then ALPHA. The S5 mini is compared to Alpha very ****ty build. Plasticky and etc .. Alpha si more premium feel. And performance.

As of now, there are no samsung phones with a snapdragon 625 chipset, so porting the rom can be a bit tough, or maybe impossible especially considering that samsung never releases the source code of their touch wiz os.

Don't care about Bixby, just the whole rom with looks, touchwiz and everything.
