Unfortunately, users who have a Samsung Galaxy S3 They still can't get the Android 4.2 version of Google's operating system officially. Therefore, if they want to achieve this, they have to resort to third-party developments such as, for example, the MOD called CyanogenMod 10.1 that does offer this possibility. We show how it works in a video.
The truth is that the lack of update is not something specific to this Samsung model, since many other manufacturers suffer from the same problem. But it is still a nuisance that only the new terminals of the Nexus range are those that can enjoy the improvements of Android 4.2 such as Quick Settings or Photo Sphere. Furthermore, it is still surprising that independent developers of CyanogenMod get something that the company's own designers don't. And, an example, this video created in Android Authority in which you can see the operation of this MOD on a Samsung Galaxy S3:
A matter of commitment
The truth is that the arrival of version 4.2 of Google's operating system is being much slower than expected, since the foreseeable thing is that the terminals with Jelly Bean 4.1 would hardly have problems to obtain this novelty. What's more, some companies, like Haier, have announced at CES that their Smart TVs will have the new version this year ... the truth is that it seems that coming to fruition is more a matter of commitment than anything else.
In addition, the normal thing would be that the flagship of the Android operating system at this time was "lion's head" in this sense ... something that Samsung seems to want to correct and, apparently, expected in Q2 Jelly Bean 4.2 be a reality. But in the meantime, getting it is possible with CyanogenMod 10.1.
In short, the wait if you want to have the official update is a reality ... but, if you are and the "daring" you can enjoy Android 4.2 on your Samsung Galaxy S3 thanks to the ROM of this well-known independent development group ... how could you see in the video.
There will be no Cyanogen support for Exynos. So those of us who have an S3 can now say goodbye to this ROM. It is all the fault of Samsung's policy, they will not publish any source code, thus, Cyanogenmod is left without support.
it will be for roms ...
You will tell me what roms there are… .. You can't cook anything. The only roms there are are the dirty things that the final degree project students cook. That to each one, the most tacky. With a number of 'bugs' and malfunctions that you can not imagine.
If the head cooks, Cyanogen and AOKP cannot work, then we have nothing.
Everything is stopped. There is no support for Exynos4. There is no source code. There is nothing. Nothing can be done.
According to you, nothing can be done but there is already up to android 4.3 for the s3 and the s2 hahahahaha, don't talk first, there is always a solution 😀
Fuck, it's been like 7 months. See if it has rained. Keep an eye on the responses.
