Porting Note II KitKat to SIII:
Note2 KK port progress/to do ( Development status )

International Galaxy S3 i9300 and other variants with 1GB of RAM will not have official KitKat. They said the experience will not be good if S3 is updated to official kitkat. Total bullshiat, if that is so, why can everyone run vanilla android smoothly. Oh, probably they have too much bloatwares. Lel.

Really gatai wanted to try this

they say "we need more bloatware, so 1GB is not gonna cut it"

if developers can do it. then i dunno where samsung dev gonna put their face... shame on them for saying that 1gb ram is insufficient...

yeah...its normal lar. they want previous s3 and s2 users to get s4 or s5... then again, its against of what i need and what i want. 

Hi guys, I read some bootloop issues in here and other places, but my case is kinda odd. Bootloop happens like once in every few days. Can be fixed by reinsert the battery.

Was wondering anyone had any idea what's wrong or a fixed for it?

Got this phone last week, factory reset, Odin'd with latest Msia Firmware.

Thanks.

dun play2 with samsung s3 user. plenty users out there. i remember 3 guys bought s3 on the same day with me within 1 hour. i dunno coincidence or not, but according to the sales person, s3 is selling like crazy... this was last year august... now with the price drop...im not sure...
maybe reduced due to moto g, huawei honor 3c and the coming soon Xiaoumi Mi 3 ...

this is really going strong
