[DISCUSSION] GALAXY S3 (GT-I9300) might get Android 5.0 Lollipop

[Vishnu pv]

Android 5.0 Lollipop

A sweet new take on Android

The next version of Android version is "5.0 Lollipop". This is the last hope for our S3 GT-I9300. We can't say anything about it now. BTW, Samsung has shortlisted some SAMSUNG devices that are going to get the taste of the new Lollipop . Fortunately, our S3 is shortlisted

NOTE: Remember this is an pre-list. (Samsung could still change devices!)

Hi!

Do you have a link to see that devices list?

Thanks!

Update: That list is 2 years old in sammobile website... I think that they was referring to android Kitkat instead Lollipop.

I expect would be "adapted" or "ported" like @arter97 ROM.

Let's see first ROM releases for similar devices to S3.

:highfive:

In fact... whatever, only expecting for a functional, smooth, fast and stable ROM (I don't want anything, right?)

Dude , we are 100% most definitely not getting an upgrade, cant stress that enough , there is alredy 500 newer device models that are covered by 18month period , samsung has no plans to waste time on 3 year old device, especialy not now when we are overtaking apple on almost every market.

i'd like to think there's always hope...they didn't updated the s3 to the 4.4 because of ram...maybe with 5.0...who knows?the s3 comunity is still big and strong...even after 3 years

I think, if would have an update, this will come from independent developers, not from sammy.
At the end, is better that way, community is open to help and continue improving those ROMs.

:good:

AOSP maybe, official Samsung not. I think in order to port a Samsung rom it a device with our chipset would have to receive it, which i highly doubt since it is quite old.

this is what I think, most likrly we will get Lollipop, if CM12(or whatever next is going to be) would officialy support s3, that would be the best and other roms most likely would follow, I hope PA wont abandon s3 too

There will be AOSP 5.0 roms for i9300 ofc, s3 was and probably is still most downloaded CM rom.

And once again, samsung stopped manufacturing s3 and dropped support for any software updates months ago. S3 i9300 is a dead device in samsungs eyes .
If you had company that sold milions and milions of devices daily and you just unveiled two of your best newest flagship devices what would you do ? Update 3 year old device or never update it and force users to move to s5/note4 that have the latest OS?

People need to stop making these threads and raise hope for those googlers out there.
You can make new thread for android 5.1 and 5.7 and android 100, but no more updates will happen.
Its time for new device.
