Coolest tweak for S3 you know?

What is the coolest tweak you know for the Samsung Galaxy S3? I made this thread, so everyone can find out about tweaks that they don't know about - yet. It can be an app or a zip or anything!
I'll start this thread with SGS3 Easy UMS.

Don't see anything wrong about this thread apart from this being a question and in general section. At least it is better than million other ota update threads.

Did you you know if you disable the ripple effect of the lock screen, you get 180MB more RAM. It has to be unchecked even if you disable the swipe lock screen.

Sure mate, also if you take the battery off the s3 is sooo light to bring around.
One of the coolest tweaks is the high luminosity torch in CyanogenMod. It's ExtremelY bright.

i tried that on omega v19 and yes my ram went down 100mb. v20 on the other hand, not at all.

I was just being sarcastic :/
I knew that ripple had to take some memory but both 180 and 100 mb seem an exageraton. BUT, pretty samsung style, i have to admit.

perhaps no mms convert and long hold volume to change songs

charging the battery

The coolest tweak for me is remapping the capacitive buttons lol. I'm easily pleased.

Turn on your phone with buttons ( Home + Power + Volume Up)

That would be awesome! How do you do that?

Don't be an ass. I'm trying to help the OP out.

The best tweak in JB is increased available RAM from 773 to 833MB.

N7 Unstable Brightness?

I am using a stock Nexus 7 with Android 4.2.1
I never use automatic brightness; and when I use the lowest brightness, the backlight kind of vibrates a lot.
When I increase the brightness it becomes more stable.
I have made a factory reset, and reloaded my apps and setting with my backup application, yet the problem continues. I don't remember this happening before 4.2.1, but I am not really sure.
Any idea/suggestion is appriciated.
Thanks.

Try disabling HW Overlays.

I will try it, but i heard that it might reduce the performance and drain battery.
What else might there be to try?
Anyone had a similar problem?

Rma it, sounds like the back light is starting to go out I had that same problem on a phone of mine and the back light ended up going out a couple weeks after it did the whole stutter thing

I don't think it does.

How can I do that hw overlay?
Do I have to root first? because I searched the forum and I couldn't find the android preferences setting file.

i think you have the screen flickering problem
is it flickering like in this video?
maybe you should take a look

Battery drain from Android System

Do you also have this?
The consuption related to Android System seems to be mainly due to LGE Gravity Sensor.

Which app is that you use for monitoring battery usage?
Edit:
Nevermind, already found it.
Thanks

Unfortunately I still see Android System draining battery.
Tested from a full charged battery.

Disable the knock-on feature and try again.

I see I slight difference when I disabled the movement settings. Yes. Knock on keeps the sensors on and uses the juice.
I don't care cuz I love the feature. One if my main reasons buying G2

Best review so far and and it looks like 3d touch

This is the best initial hands on review I have seen so far and it looks like it has a type of 3d. Touch ,look gorgeous in this video

Interesting, looks to me as if they've just changed the behavior of the long press, long press for the menu and then drag the menu to move the icon maybe?
There's no evidence of a pressure sensitive screen but this is a good way to implement without additional hardware.

Certainly didn't see it mentioned in the keynote or an immediate reviews that followed,or the exposure control on the camera either,wonder if they will be both pixel exclusives

I have seen exposure control and af/ae lock mentioned somewhere, I think it was a hands on video. Unfortunately for us the layman just wants a point and shoot that makes excellent auto shots so I wouldn't be surprised if Google omitted them.

He is just *****ing about semantics.
Is it a proper review? No.
Is it a hand's on / preview? Yes.
Is it useful and shows more than any other hand's on I've seen? Yes.
There, that should make all of the grammar police/nit pickers happy.

Just to add all reviews I have watched do far were on my phone or tablet,i watched this one on my TV ,and it does show off how good the device looks.A bit like the 6p it's going to be one of those you have to get in hand to appreciate it

Some incorrect info:
Said it supports QC 3.0 - false, it's USB-PD.
Said fingerprint has no other features - false, it supports notification pulldown.

Good points. I'm curious to see how useful the notification pull down on the fp is.

Yes I posted that in the YouTube link,FP does have some gestures

About as useful as it sounds. On my 6P, it'd be great... that is a yoga move to get to the notification bar, so I used Nova and just do a pulldown anywhere on the screen. I may not use Nova with the Pixel XL though since it seems like some features may be baked into the stock launcher, so it could be useful... then again the screen is also smaller. Very user dependent based on hand/finger size lol.

Actually there were a lot of inaccurate information in that video. He is just going off the small amount of information he knows. Nice high quality video of the phone though!

3D Touch on Iphone is pressure sensitive whereas on Pixel you get different options depending how long you touch screen. I presume long press gives option to add widgets from individual apps where supported.
