Android 4.4 KitKat on Samsung Galaxy S3?

Several weeks ago, Samsung reported to be rolling out the Galaxy S3 Android 4.4 KitKat update in the United States. Shortly after that, Sprint confirmed that it would be rolling out the update to its customers.

Here is the list of Galaxy S3 models which may receive the KitKat OS update: GT-I9305, SHV-E210K/L/S, SGH-T999/L, SGH-I747, SGH-N064, SGH-N035, SCH-J021, SCH-R530, SCH-I535, SCH-S960L and SCH-S968C.

Android 4.4 KitKat update may not be available for all the models of Galaxy S3 as some of them come with only 1 GB of RAM, which may not be able to handle KitKat include international models: GT-I9300, SCH-I939 and SCH-S968C.

I am the GT-I9300 owner which falls into the 2nd category of 1GB RAM. Will Samsung really going to drop the updates for us.

Well....last option for me is to get a custom ROM.

Any suggestion on which one should I choose from the below?




Among the advantages of this ROM, in addition to the numerous and timely updates, are improved battery notification, profiles and themes, and the ability to overclock




Among the novelty of this ROM is the possibility to optimize battery life by creating profiles.
