Better late than not at all, also its better because Samsung has more time to develop it

Well yeah because that's the international version so that's primary then it's the other variants

Not good for the g850a users....i guess I'll be sticking to KK for a while....

No doubt that will be for one SKU in a single country not for everyone around the world.

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!!

Possibility of a Meizu MX 'Flyme' port?

Update: Chinese/English dump available, thanks datagutt.
So I was reading the review of the Meizu MX and really liked the change in its UI. The device is based on the same Exynos 4210 base but does have a 640x960 display. Coming from a complete non-dev my question is, is/would anyone be interested in this port (Device soon to be released) and if so would any developers be interested in taking up the challenge? As I can't help on the dev side I would be more than happy to give access to a 1GBit 100GB file dump that could perhaps come in useful. Oh and here are some pics of the UI:

You need a dump first. I might provide one if/when i get the phone, i got a friend buying it for me. Also, M9 is getting a firmware upgrade soon with the same UI improvements, so unpack that one.

That would be pretty sweet The advantage with the MX is that it runs on the same processor so non-dev me figured it would be easier to port from
Ok, ill look at this

As a platform (the HW) i couldnt be happier; snappy reponse, little hang time, and just a pleasing feature phone to use. Certainly comparable to any new i/android device, if not better.
The SW is certainly built for a moce Asian audience in terms of a more limited (at least on the surface) iOS version of Android. I certainly miss the flexibility of CM on my EVO4G. There are plenty of reviews out there in the world for details, but as a user of the stock FLYME OS, i am quite happy. I would be over the hill if some of the very cool features of FLYME were integrated into a CM7 build, adding an application bar/menu, and some other "standard" CM7 customization features.

[ 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.

[Q]New Facebook For Android Design/Ui

Good Afternoon people purpose of this thread is to find out as much as we can about who or where and what device people are using with the new Facebook design. I don't think it is down to the application itself I'm sure it is server sided that depends on who has it,
So come on
Who has it?
Where you from?
What device do you have?
And what application are you using? Beta Alpha or Standard?

It is server side, and it would not surprise me if it was only for US users.
Even if I send you the .APK I'm using with the new layout, I believe it will still load the old layout on your phone.

Beta tester old ui, from Malaysia, some of my friends are not beta tester but having new ui :'(
Same thing happened with Facebook's new website UI, rolled out last February (?). Very few people got the updated look, and when you go to facebook.com/about/newsfeed to get the new UI (as most websites prescribe), you get nothing.

Well,
Some people in The Netherlands, just like me, are also using a new UI. I can confirm that my friends do have the Samsung Galaxy S4/ and mini. They both have the new UI. Also a friend with the Sony Xperia Play running Gingerbread has the NEW UI too.
I'm using the Samsung Galaxy Ace with Android 4.4.2 and having the old UI
So it's a Facebook server problem....
