As expected, we already have here the first version of a Rom with A for Samsung Galaxy S3 model GT-I9300. A Rom that we have been able to find on the Google Plus page of Ben edmunds and that as I tell you it is still in an Alpha state and some essential things such as the Wifi network and the camera will fail if we do not come from a previous version of CM 10.2.
On the other hand we have been able to verify by comments from the users themselves that even the data network is working properly, so if you dare to try it, remember to do a Android Backup of your entire system and continue reading this post in which I explain all the secrets to test it safely.
In general the rom works very well, it is stable and fast, although things like the Gmail and calendar sync as well as the problem already commented with the Wi-Fi.
If you are one of those who cannot wait, and is willing to try it, we advise you to make the camera work for you, you flash the Rom from a version of C without doing the Wipe data factory reset.
Requirements to install the Android 4.4 Kit Kat Rom
The first requirement will be to have, obviously a Samsung Galaxy S3 model GT-I9300, which also must be rooted and in possession of Clockworkmod Recovery 6.0.4.4_Touch, since from previous versions we know that it does not work.
We must have carried out in case the flies, a backup EFS folder as well as a nandroid backup of all our system to return to leave the terminal as it was before the installation of this Rom and in case we want to go back.
Otherwise the considerations will be the same as always, have USB debugging enabled since developer settings / options as well as the battery charged to 100 × 100.
Files needed to install the Android 4.4 Kit Kat Rom
- CWM Recovery 6.0.4.4_Touch
- Rom Android 4.4 Kit Kat for the Samsung Galaxy S3 model GT-I9300
- Google Gapps for Android 4.4 Kit Kat
Once the three necessary files have been downloaded, we copy the files without decompressing in the internal memory of the device to be flashed and restart in Recovery Mode to follow these flashing instructions.
Rom installation method
If you want the camera to work for you, remember to first install any version of C, then follow the steps that I explain below and you will not have major bugs than those that I have explained above about the Wi-Fi and Calendar and Gmail sync.
- Wipe cache partition
- Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
- Install zip from sdcard
- choose zip
- We select the Recovery zip and install it. (You can ignore this if you already have an equal or higher version installed).
- Install zip from sdcard
- choose zip
- We select the zip of the rom and confirm its installation.
- choose zip
- We select the zip of the Gapps and confirm its installation.
- Reboot system now.
With this you will have the Samsung Galaxy S3 updated to this Alpha version of ANow you just have to comment on what you think and what your first feelings are.
