In the future you might notice as you are actually typing the subject out it will auto-guess other topics that are similar to yours. Additionally, you might spend more than 5 seconds looking at the general section

also if it helps there's a bug thread here http://code.google.com/p/android/is...rd&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars for sdcard issues being read only etc.

Installing Darky's Rom onto the S3....

Hi guys i've had my S3 for a couple months now and love it and have not regretted making the change from the 4s in the slightest. i had a I9000 before i got an s4 and had darky's rom installed on there and want to put it onto my s3 also as it seemed to up the performance and speeds a little. but im a complete noob when it comes to these things could anyone link me to a step by step guide on how to flash my s3 with also download links?
I did watch the video before registering i searched for installation guides with the s3 but i only found guides for the original S so i made a new thread
thanks in advance for any help.

First of all, this isn't for the international version of the S3.
Second, if you really do own an I747 and not the I9300, then it is impossible at the moment to flash international ROMs to this device until someone ports it.

Official AT&T S4 Safestrap Discussion Q/A

The A very special thanks goes out to @Hashcode.
This is the discussion and Q/A thread for the AT&T I337 Safestrap. Please stay on topic.
Take note kiddies
READ THIS OP
READ THE THREAD
NOW READ IT ALL AGAIN.
THE GO OVER TO HASHCODES DEV THREAD AND READ THAT 3 TIMES. Link below.
IF ANYONE ASKS A QUESTION THAT IS ANSWERED IN THIS OP, I WILL REPORT YOU AND SUGGEST/REQUEST A 24 HOUR BAN.
We do not have time to answer the same questions a million times. It is highly annoying and clutters the thread. Any questions you have has more than likely been answered.
As of this time, no custom kernels can be used unless you have never updated to the OTA MF3. If you are on a system without a blown qfuse, you can have a custom kernel on your stock ROM and it will stay with your other ROMs, if you are on OTA MF3, you cannot flash any kernels. Do not attempt to do so.
Also, at this time, only TW based ROMs will work with SS. CM, AOSP, AOKP, MIUI, etc will not work.
NO FLAMING

Very promising. It would take a few tweaks of the Apk to get us up and running with it. Myself and another member both brought up a similar method for this and were shot down by a few members saying it wouldn't work. Well looky here... It seems to be a very viable option.

I really only need it for multi-boot. I would like to see if it is possible to run the ROM slots from the external SD. I have a 64gb just sitting in my phone doing nothing. Lol

Very real. It isn't exactly what we wanted or need, but it will definitely keep development on the phone up until we find out a way to unlock the bootloaders and keep our community on the phone as well. I have seen too many people give up a great phone and take a huge downgrade because of not being able to install ROMs.

If it works as intended, it should be a very good alternative and still allow people to flash custom ROMs to their phones. Though, I wonder, how many ROMs can be placed on a phone with the storage size limitations. 3 slots will be available, but it will be shared space, so no necessarily 3 ROMs (or even 2) will fit on the phone. A lot of things will just have to be answered after the APK becomes available.
I also cringe at the thought of everyone trying to use this without learning and reading. Can you imagine all of the ,"Guys, I bricked my phone..." threads multiplied by X. There isn't enough room in the entirety of XDA to hold the ignorance.
Anyway, this should be interesting.

I read the 4 slots will be available. Either way, I am excited. No joke about that. Too any stupid people to handle...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Just got mine four days ago, sadly pre-loaded with MF3. Root has kept me satisfied, but looking forward to a safestrap option. Gotta agree though, the amount of idgets that will be fragging thier phone due to a deliberate lack of reading and research will be staggering. After all this time keeping up with my Nexus 7 and i727, nothing surprises me. I just look at it as electronic natural selection.
But back on topic, I also read 4 rom slots. But each has 3 data partition size options. Might have been where the confusion was.

I agree, well guess it's back to work on My Deadly Venom Rom for SG4!

Looks like Hash is getting some progress, but he's trying to get a splashscreen to show up solution so it boots with it always!

This is impressive! It is innovative and a great alternative to flashing ROM's. Like Loki it looks like you won't have to worry about unlocking the bootloader entirely because this will serve the same purpose. I'm also interested in the prospect of flashing multiple ROM drives. I love AOKP as much as I love Alpha ROM so I go back and forth but if I can flash both and have a simple selection on boot that would be insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hash is great at what he does. Just take a look at the Kindle fire 2 section. Everything there is because of his safe strap genius.

Even when good news is on the horizon some of you guys still have to be negative. Can we at least get the process up and running before you guys start jumping on the people who bricked their phones. Not interest in a verbal fight but damn can we enjoy the positive progress for a few minutes before the brick police start patrolling the forums.

Well used it and it said one folder was 3gb and stuff

Sometimes when you flash ROMs the tablet gets confused as to how much memory is available I've heard of it plenty times when going back to stock usually a factory reset or if that doesn't work reflashing the ROM. You need to get the tablet to reevaluate how much storage it has. It currently thinks it a 16gb version.

Considering that this person only asked about how to free up space on his Nexus, I doubt that would have happened. Of course I would have offered direction to the proper forum if it was something critical. I didn't find it surprising at all that after a few members jumped in to help, your post had be the one letting him know that he shouldn't be in this thread, nevermind any advice on his issue. But it seems that every time I run into one of your posts, it is almost never helpful yet very terse and usually rude. Most of your answers are either about the member being in the wrong sub forum or that they didn't read the changelog. It's almost like spam being posted over and over.

My point exactly.
If we were to wait to inform the op that he was in the wrong forum until after he had done something like that, it would have been irresponsible of us to not head him off at the pass and try to prevent such a thing.
There was nothing rude in this thread until someone wanted to play keyboard cowboy because they had a grudge against me.
