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.

Well, there's a separate forum dedicated to the i9300 so that's that.

You might want to check this out, Samsung Galaxy SIII I9300 main page.
And Galaxy SIII I9300 Android Development which is include ROM, Kernel, MOD :fingers-crossed:
You are welcome here Seany.
The point is we might not have the answer you want, so the link on top will provide the best place for you :good:

Root your phone and run greenify. It is worth it if you want good battery life. That is one of the best apps out today.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium

I dont really want to root. I think the phone itself is pretty snappy and unlike 99% of the people on this forum I do actually like TW and a lot of the gimmicky features. I find some to actually be useful. I'll probably root after I get bored. The only thing I missed from having a rooted phone was tethering for free but foxfii is the perfect answer for that. Thats why I was asking for specifically unrooted phones. But thanks for your responses.

I've had this phone for about two weeks and I'm still on stock but rooted, no custom recovery, yet. I like TW as well, that's why I got this phone. I rooted to get rid of some bloat and for greenify. In the long run you would be happier.

rooting by itself won't remove touchwiz. it merely gives you more control over your phone and allows you to improve it as you wish.

Pls delete.

After a lot of searching and reading i found the answers i needed about the padlock bootscreen thanks to the developers that got it.

This is what's happened,
Rooted ATT S4, installed twrp 2.5.0.2,
Installed Sho 1.5, used Loki doki
I was getting the costum screen with the padlock warning when booting. All was well.
Decided to try beta 4.3 rooted, now the padlock screen is gone and I get regular boot screen. Download screen says Samsung official.
I'm still rooted and booting OK.
Uninstalled and installed clean rom ,
Flashed lokidoki, still rooted and boot screen still stock.
Is this normal?
If this is in the wrong place pls move it and if this s old news delete it.

Umm not trying to be a total **** but really? There is a sticky at the top that is literally the second item on the page that says Flashing a factory image with fastboot/return to stock. Not to mention the 100 other threads asking the same question

Sounds like the time for upgrading. PA 3.94 was just released so download it and flash away. It is 4.3 and runs great and also has Halo and Pie toolbars! Much better than AOSP 4.3! Check it out in the forums for directions.

It really doesn't matter what forum you frequent. If you are an XDA user you have agreed to search before starting threads. You would also know how the forum works and what happens when you ask a question that's covered 150, 000 times in the forum.
Please don't try and use some weak 'noob' excuse. You have been an xda member long enough to know better.

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.

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.
