I love this post (i found this posted by some xda member) NOW that's showing CLASS n RESPECT
There are many aspects to making a ROM; I don't think it's ever been required that one be a super-awesome code-hacker magician to have the right to release one
A ROM is more than just technical merit, there is also a good dose of artistic/cohesive vision, the ability to put all of these components together in the perfect way that makes the entire package amazing. This could be that, so let's not take a dump on it without even trying it, okay?

yes ..i always do it without a problem..to be safe make sure you back up your old rom in CWM..
after flashing and reload
If you happen to have old configuration and get prompt...click yes and install without back up

just installed this. First impressions are great. The look and feel is really nice. The animations seemed to slow but i just changed the settings to fast. This thing is smooth. Very impressed. swype stopped working though unfortunatly. Will be testing more and report if i find any other issues. Great job!

2. What are the basic things should i check after getting my sgs3?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* All samsung android device comes with lcd test menu in order to check the basic functionality of the mobile and it is also useful to check the tint issues
* Enter the dialer and input the following code "*#0*#, it will give you a set of options to test the mobile.
* The same lcd test menu can be used for testing the tint issues, the main menu of the lcd test should look white rather than pinkish white or warmer white. you can either decide it yourself by your eyes or compare it with another AMOLED screen.
* Black dots are present on almost all AMOLED panels with varying intensity. Its not an issue. But if you still want to check for lesser dots take your mobile to pitch dark environment and load a complete black wallpaper, once your eyes get setlled to the environment look over the scrren. you will notice those spots.
3. Im not getting enough battery life or its not upto the mark what should i do??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Poor battery life is due to one of the following reasons
> keeping all the features on like wifi ,bluetooth,nfc,full brightness etc.
Solution:
Turn off all the unwanted features and set the brighness between 0 to 50 %
> Wakelocks are common in android, A wakelock is an event witch disturbs the cpu(waking the cpu) from a regular deep sleep when the device is not in use. Commonly wakelocks are caused by frequent syncing of data with apps like twitter,facebook etc.
look over the image below
The blue line rounded with circle denotes wakelock(though a few lines like the one shown in the above pic can be ignored) , the intensity of wakelocks varies depending upon the usage/settings. The best way to get rid of wakelocks is to use apps like "better battery stats" and "gsam battery monitor" to identify the app causing wakelocks and disable/tweak them.
Some Android Basics
Though many of you people here are not new to android,below are the details for android newbies
Read through these links and you will get a basic idea of all the modding/flashing stuffs
1.some basic android terms
Android provides much better customization than many other competing platforms, basically a customization is nothing but altering/tinkering the mobile according to the taste of the induvidual. It may be the look of the mobile, speed of the mobile or whatever it may be they can be customized
Customizing the mobile includes.
1.Rooting
2.Flashing Roms/kernels
3.Mods
Rooting:
A process allowing users of mobile phones running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem. Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user.
You can root your mobile simply by following this thread. Download the cf root from the same thread and flash it via odin. A separate how to root guide is here
Flashing:
Flashing is nothing but a method of installing/updating a ROM/KERNEL/MOD. Generally flashing is of 2 types.
* flash via odin
Odin is a software used in windows for flashing. Odin supports flashing of *.tar,*.md5(commonly used file formats).All the stock roms can be flashed only via odin. Kernels of tar format can also be flashed via odin.
This thread will give you all the details about how to use odin and the thread also has the collection of stock roms.
* flashing via cwm
cwm aka Clock Work Mod is one of the must have thing for a rooted user. Every android mobile comes with a recovery feature in order to troubleshoot if things goes wrong. CWM replaces the the basic recovery with advanced recovery features. CWM supports flashing files as zips. All the custom roms are generally flashed via cwm. Along with custom roms mods/themes are also flshed via cwm.
This thread will give you all the details about cwm and how to use it
Mods
Mods are nothing but tweaked apps/settings that enhances the functionality of the mobile. These mods can be flashed via cwm or can be copied manually via root explorer (for advanced users)
Voiding the warranty and rooting/customiztion
Rooting the mobile will void your manufacturer warranty. But at the same time wasting a powerhouse mobile like s3 without modding is mere waste So whats the solution??? Whenever you are in need of claiming your warranty there are methods to remove the root which in turn covers your mobile under warranty. Yet another thing you people have to know is galaxy s3 has a binary counter which counts the number of unofficial flashes (rooting,flashing cwm comes under flashing ). So if the counter is above 0 it will void your warranty again. A big thanks to "chainfire" for creating an app called "triangle away" which simply resets the binary counter to zero.
So if you people want to remove root for warranty purpose
1.install triangle away and reset the counter
2.enter cwm and factory reset the mobile.
3.put the mobile into download mode and flash the stock rom from the links given above .
Here are a few samsung secret codes you can play up with Thanks to anil84 for bringing this up ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27342524&postcount=5587
Backup your efs folder!
The first thing you people have to do before flashing any kind of things to your mobile is to "backup EFS folder".
What is efs?
The "\EFS" folder in the root directory is responsible for storing your IMEI number. The folder may get messed up when flashing roms or any other thing which results in loss of IMEI which in turn results in "no signals!!". It is hard to recover IMEI once it is lost, sometime you may even need to change the whole motherboard.
But........... do not worry...!! this can be easily resolved by backing up the "EFS" folder.
Head over here, download the tool,backup the folder and keep it safe in your pc

Disappointed so far - Maybe faulty?

Hi all.
I am slightly disappointed with my galaxy s3.
I recently made the switch from owning all iPhones since their release. IMO, iPhone never really did enough to compete with the rest of the field so I switched. How wrong was I!
I must admit I am sick to death with having to go into task manager to close apps and clear ram. If I don't do this pushing the home button from an app will result in the device hanging.
For a device that has some much power under the hood its really frustrating to see they haven't really made a good barrier between the device and android. For everyday tasks like messaging, phone, scrolling contacts etc iPhone beats it for speed and usability hands down. However, NOVA 3 blew me away and runs smooth as can be. Sadly this isn't enough to keep me so Its been short lived and maybe i'll return when android runs more efficiently and definitely needs to be smoother on devices.

I don't experience any of those problems. Why do you kill tasks and keep clearing RAM? On Android that is a big no-no. Let Android manage all of that on it's own. When you keep killing tasks it has to restart them and that slows things down instead of speeding them up.
If you really want a smooth experience, root your device and install Titanium Backup and freeze all the bloatware that's not needed.
Having owned every iPhone, I can say that my GS3 is much smoother and quicker to respond than any of them ever were.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I understand that forcing processes to close will result in them having to reload again at some point. However, if i do not do this it'll end up a million pieces. If i could take a video of it I would, actually maybe I will tomorrow so maybe guys like yourselves who have had android for long periods maybe able to help me out.
let me give you an example. I open ebay app do some browsing (home button out), look on bbc news website (home button out), click on phone then contacts, wait for 2-3 seconds for it to respond, click on the letter of the first name i want to call again wait a couple of seconds, end the call and press the home button, wait 5 seconds with just my background picture and the square dotted icon which contain the apps.
If i clear the ram all of the above run smooth again.

On S-Voice disable the option to lunch S-Voice with a double press on the home button. This option causes home button lag.
Don't kill processes. This option that Samsung gave us on stock rom is terrible. You shouldn't use it, never.

Root. Remove bloatware and use a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex.

I will try this

More tips.
Go into Settings>Developer Options
Set all of the animation scales to 0.5x instead of 1x
Then turn on Force 2D GPU rendering.

You mention pressing home button to leave apps. Doing this leaves them running, true 'multitasking'. That's fine, but if it's not an app you'll be using for a while hold down the back button to close it. Alternatively, hold down the home button to bring up running and previously used apps, either swipe away the ones you don't want or remove all. This is better than clearing ram because the stuff that should be running still will be, but the apps you've been using won't.
Also, there is no need to root and debloat if you don't want. You just need to learn to manage better like i said above. Android is a different kettle of fish to ios, there is a bit of a learning curve, but it's worth sticking with.
Jelly bean (Android 4.1) will also sort out your lag woes with scrolling etc.

Don't ever post pics of Your IMEI, that is BAD. I would remove it ASAP. Don't tell anyone unless it is generic or all 0's

Basically don't use it like IOS. If you want a ridiculously fast UI, download holo launcher HD, or any other launcher with swipe up, and set swipe up to open recent apps. Then put your most used apps on the home screen and a widget that tells you the date and weather. Then just do everything from the notification bar. With this set up you can basically do everything with swipe down, swipe up, and press icon. Don't even have to scroll since most of the settings you need are in the notification tray but their is a settings button available 24 7 if you need it.

In my opinion, Android high-end phones are not made to be used with a stock rom/kernel/settings.
When someone asks me "What phone should I get?" I analyse the person's profile to answer that.
If he/she is a basic user, that want internet, email, games, etc... = iPhone.
If he/she is a curious person that wants to squeeze max power out of his/her phone = GS3.
So, the best thing that you can do, is to pick a custom rom that you like, flash, root and customize. That's what Android is made for. :good:

Whats the advantages of rooting or custom rom?

Hey lads,
Going to have this phone soon and haven't yet found a reason to go rooting/custom rom rout, As it seems, it's quite well cooked as it is. So i'm wondering what are the Reasons you guys rooted your phones?
Can't you get that hide nav bar without root? and xposed framework work without root? We got some neat statusbar icon sets out and need rooting?
some other reason you had to root and 'void warrancy'?

Well... removal of carrier bloatware, ability to backup your setup, free up ram, remove gimmicky features you don't like, titanium backup to freeze apps without needing to delete them permanent, Greenify pwns, better battery life unless you screw something up, custom roms when you get tired of the same old ui and you wish you could subsidize early. ..almost certainly be able to get 4.3/ 4.4 much faster unless your Sprint cause they are f'in crazy ?...there are craploads more but I'll let someone else chime in.

You never really void your warranty...when you flash back to full stock they will never know with a complete wipe. If screen won't light up they can't tell...if phone won't boot they won't know. If usb breaks you have wireless storage you can always flash a modified aboot and purposefully brick beyond the ability to tell.

Removing Brightness and Volume bar from status bar when pulled down. Replace menu key with stock recents button. Install mod to increase the already really good camera quality drastically. Decrease the OS size by installing CeanRom for G2 so you have more memory space. Double Tap lock feature for a launcher like Nova Launcher for example. Uninstall bloat if course, T-MOBILE version hardly has any. Can't think of anymore reasons on the top of my head

I enjoy being able to increase my headphone and the phone speaker volume, also the ability to hide soft keys and enjoy the full 5.2 inch screen.
Another mod I did was go full black on the status bar and circle percentage battery.
Come to think of it, if it wasn't for rooting I probably would have returned the phone and kept my HTC One.

Well to have (never android)4.4 and forward, if LG doesnt provide, i guess i'm on the same track with u. Mayby even sooner. Still right now it seems its pretty damn nice covered as it is, but apps like titanium backup, rom toolbox (have owned both 2+ years, not needed for last two phones, battery was problem back then, not so now) i cant see where its needed.
Probably i don't know how to get best out of android phones but to me, rooting was allways part of getting the phone last whole day and ui smooth, now that its as beefy as these new phones are, it comes to the bloatware(wakelocks) and customization and once thats done, its only the updates that keeps me wanting to have custom rom.
Anyway the greenify seems like intresting app, going to see it once im sober. The kinda information i was asking for, thanks for that!
and happy weekend!

Going to dig this as it's intresting and i have some wine to enjoy.
I thought i can get to 360DPI without root? Atleast thats in my mind and would be enough as i used note 2 720p screen with 240dpi and found it the best. anything less and it was a bit too small for my liking.
The pulldown bar might be a good reason for me allso, if too growded with unnessessary stuff and the custom mods are there to flash. gonna see about that. thanks for the heads up.

Oh I knew that worked for all launchers -- I thought the user i quoted meant that you can double-tap any open spot to knock-off (i can only do it on the stock launcher right now), rather than just the status bar.

Bypassing the Tethering check so you can use portable hotspot/USB tethering without the plan, removing the useless bloatware, and cleaning up the status bar. Who wants to have the location and NFC indicators taking up space all the time?

Install screen off and lock, go to nova settings, gestures, double tap, set to application, pick "Screen off" (not "Screen off and Lock")

Official 4.3 Update - Report the Bugs which your Facing here

As of the Official Update of Jelly Bean 4.3 has been started to Rolling out, the users who have installed started using it. So if you find any bug pls report here so Others can be saved.
As far am using it more than 24 hrs,
- Touchwiz is still bit laggy
- Few app including XDA app is getting FC
- Ram usage is high
- Battery is same
- Opening and closing of app is taking bit more time
- Still Finding

Is it worth the update or should I wait?

Stock browser with quick controls and full screen enabled doesn't hide the nav bar properly... A bug since first leak.

4.3 Consumes 1.3gb to 1.7gb ram never lower than 1gb. Same in s4. I prefer 4.1.2 its faster

Its better u can wait or Flash DN3 Rom.. but i can say this update is stable than S3 update.. less bugs..

The autobrightness is really bad
Even if I am setting it at +5 its really dim indoors as compared to 4.1.2
Really any idea how to fix it
Am I alone facing this issue

The "HealthService" starts, but I dont have the S Health app, and dont know why this service starts after reboot of the phone.
any one else with this?

Am using in -2 , for me its gud in indoor and in sunlight also..

With about 90 apps installed, of which BBM, WhatsApp, Vonage, LBE Security Master, Greenify, CSipSimple, Google+ and KeepScreenOn run all the time in addition to the usual stuff like TW, Messaging, GMS that runs with Android, My RAM usage with MK4 is 784MB. I don't find any lag in TW or in any of the games I play (except Ingress, of course - but that is an app issue).
I of course have rooted, disabled a bunch of stuff from loading automatically at boot, and frozen Sammy crap that I don't want or use. And no Knox.
XDA App is working perfectly fine, deep sleep seems to pretty good - lost 1% overnight after 2 recharge cycles. Auto Brightness is cranky at times - sometime stuck at lowest or brightest - but returns back to sanity after a display off-on.
Overall there is nothing new or extraordinary in the MK4 version from what we have seen in the leaks - except of course the knox status in the bootloader (I didnt care about it as am out of warranty anyways).
Haven't tried the stock browser with quick controls+full screen though, I rely on Chrome...
Xposed Framework with Wanam's module, per app dpi setting, message notification to toast, and then some more - all works great.

Can I ask, I just need some clarification: are you running a stock version or a custom ROM?
If it is the stock, which Open version are you using?

This is a stock ROM, the only changes being removing the Knox related apk and rooting. I'm not sure what you mean by open, can you explain on it?

Any of you having issues with official rom should join me in using DN3 custom rom for note 2 with a bunch of note 3 features and very few bugs.

And, as much as this may seem like a stupid question, could you please show me which one you were using? I assume that you have upgraded and forfeited the "warranty void" issue for the new ROM?

I am running that ROM at the moment, and to be honest, as much as I love it, there is still the issue with the screen off when the phone is in use, And the leg you get upon finishing the call itself.
Apart from that, is a fantastic update.

Major update but with few bugs.
When installing an app from play store, the downloading process is smooth but just when the installation is about to complete there are frame drops for a second or two and it really annoys me as a heavy play store user.
Frame drops and touchwiz!!! Brother's for life!!!

I'm getting the odd FC, but it's very rare. I had to force a reboot twice since upgrading, but I've also been using my device like crazy and installing a lot of apps as i test this new firmware.
My only real gripe is that bringing up the multitasking list (long press home key)takes longer than before.

I upgraded to the INU ROM that got released - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=21880 - that is open India I guess (and there is no other 4.3 official ROM released yet? At least that's what Sammobile says...)
Code:
Model: GT-N7100
Country: India
Version: Android 4.3
Changelist: 2099172
Build date: Sun, 10 Nov 2013 06:00:26 +0000
Product Code: INU
PDA: N7100XXUEMK4
CSC: N7100ODDEMK1
MODEM: N7100DDEMJ9
And yes, I voided my Knox bootloader warranty - because I bought the phone from Singapore and didnt have India warranty anyway. And the phone is more than a year old too...
I see a delay in the caller number or name getting displayed when someone calls me (ringtone sounds, but screen is blank), but then that's nothing that can't be fixed with a build.prop edit.
I dont have a lag anywhere, at least nothing I can find - I have made a few tweaks to the PegasusQ parameters though (reduced freq_step from the default 37% to 5% so that all the frequencies of the CPU are used, Set the cpu_up_rate to 12 and cpu_down_rate to 16, set the hot plug frequencies to 600-400, 800-600, 1000-800 and hot plug run queues to 175-175, 275-275 and 375-375, down_differential to 10, sampling_down_factor to 1 nd sampling_rate to 30000) based on my experience with earlier stock and non-stock kernel performance.
I'm overall happy about the update, though we could have been shown some more love from the S4 / Note3 devices

Clipboard options have been removed and multiwindow isn't working.
