SGSIII XDA Wiki Page - *Please help*

Hi all,
I was surprised to see that no wiki page for the SIII had been created, so I took it upon myself and created a basic page for the international model.
Coming from the Moto Defy I found the Defy Wiki Page to be a great source of help for anybody new to XDA or that phone as it holds all major information in one place without having to search like crazy within the forums.
I would like to do the same for the SIII as looking for answers in this fast growing forum can be a very daunting task for any newcomers. I would like to invite you all to help maintain the wiki page with any information and links you feel are fitting. Your Forum Login works for the wiki as well, so you can edit and help maintain the page.
Thanks in advance and here is that link again:

i tried several other widgets from market but the same happen does anybody have an idea what happened
i would appreciate your help and thanks in advance

I made a landing page here for people to find the correct wiki page for their device, and I've created additional pages for the I747 and the T999, as I'll be working with those devices.

I'm using the unofficial AOKP Rom on my Galaxy SIII since June 19th and it's working great. I'd create a link on the Wiki but, as it's unofficial, I don't know if it's okay... so I'll leave the link here.

[samsung i857(doubletime)]ROM devlopers and users of this phone

HI all , i lunched this thread after weeks of googling and usless search for a new stock or custom rom to update my phone (samsung sgh-i857 doubletime) it's a dual screen phone with querty built-in keyboard it's from at&t and it is stuck on android 2.2.2, i'm very sad that they and after years from lunching it didn't back it up with a single soft update -_- ... and i know that there are users who bought this phone like me and seek help.. i know that it's not this easy but if you are a devloper help us by creating a custom rom for it ....if you are a user of this phone please support this thread by commenting so we can get an update for it :good: ps: i attached informations for it's cpu

Hello good sir, I like you am a noobish Doubletime user who is struggling to update it to Gingerbread. So far I have been somewhat able to use the Cyanogenmod source code and I have built a CWM Recovery for the device but that seems to have hard bricked it... I ordered a new one off ebay for $15 and I'm ready to start cooking. You have my support!

Just an update.
I have a plan I have on how to get this runnin.
1. Port CWM to the DoubleTime through Cyanogemod 6.
2. Get a working version of Cyanogenmod 6 working on the DoubleTime to hopefully free up some space.
3. Find if Gingerbread can run on Froyos kernel.
From there I'll either be building a GingerBread compatable kernel or Cyanogenmod 7 depending on compatability. Any advice or help would be very appreciated.

Being new to ROM building I'm a little lost and hesitant on flashing things but here's what I know so far.
The DoubleTime uses a Qualcomm MSM7230 same as the HTC Vision. I forked it's Github respiratory and I'll be using it as a base as recommended by the Cyanogenmod porting guide.
The partitions sizes (as a accurately as I can estimate them) are:
/cache=21.05MB
/data=176.65MB
/system=194.38MB
I may need to know the recovery partition size but I'm not sure how to find that out.
I have the recovery.img and the boot.img as well as the zImage. So as soon as the repo sync is done I'll be on my way.

I'm back again today with somewhat mixed news, I can find most of the partitions and their names (I've learned a lot today) but I can not seem to find the boot, recovery or ramdisk partitions. I'm already boggled by the what seems to be unconventional naming setup for partitions. Put all of my "notes" in a text docement in the attachments section. Any help with this is very appertiated. I can type and post anything into the ADB shell you need me too.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm talking to myself, I probably am...

Upon reading forum rules and such it has come to my attension that this is the wrong forum for this kind of thread, So I have made a new thread in the Miscellaneous Android Developement Forum that will hopefully be more useful at getting more proffesional and opinionated help.

2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our website. Carbon FAQ
3) Ask a question in your device forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before.

Moving apps to SD does not work. Reports "not enough space" or something similar. FIXED! see here
OTG Host mode only works once per boot.
If GApps are not flashed there is a ramdom reboot issue due to issue with gps blog. Not an issue as long as you flash GApps.
Setting a govenor via "PerformanceControl" may not work due to "Usecase" control.
Offline Charger options via "Extras" do not work.
Root is disabled by default. Some options in "Extras" and "Performance" depend on root. Enable in "Developer Options"

Good to see you back at it on the T599.

Progress on MM: http://www.meticulus.co.vu/2016/09/progress-on-marshmallow-for-codinalte.html

WOWWW you are back! I thought this phone was already forgotten. Let me try this on my old t599n with stock laggy tw 4.1.2 with internal memory for only 2 or 3 apps.
Can't wait for MM rom.
Great work and welcome back!!
Update: Hi @Meticulus , I am using this rom and I like it. I got just some little issues:
First: Is the Carbon sources updated? I ask this because i see in my language (portuguese) there are lot of words not translated (when i was on cm 12.1 in my s5 didnt face this issue), i see that the security patch is November 2015 (a bit old no?)
Second: I don't know why but i can't install facebook... it took like 5 minutes to install and then it fails with error -504 on playstore
BTW great work man, I really wanna try your CM 13 on this machine
Keep it up

If anyone is reading this, I've noticed http://www.meticulus.co.vu is down (probably for years). Is there any way to obtain the 5.11 Carbon ROM ? I have two old T599N devices that I want to "resurrect/upgrade". I've googled a lot but could not find any download links for the 5.1.1 Carbon ROM created by Meticulus for this device. I also tried searching for this in DC hubs but without success. Thank you!

WHY ARE ALL THE ON5 ROMS GONE????

I've a Samsung on5 and I'm TRYING to put a custom rom on. But all the on5 download links are either missing or lead to a dead end in google drive. every. single. one.
I have attempted to download not-so-equivalent ROMs for devices like Xiaomi 5, which also ran on Marshmallow, but those obviously don't work... Somebody aid me in mine quest to better mine magic mirror!

No DevDB Files were transferred to the new XDA site.
There is a plan to make them accessible again, but I haven't seen an update on that yet.
my suggestion is to ask in the rom thread for someone to upload a copy to
Mega.nz, Googgle drive, Android file host...

Pixel Experience Android Pie Build

Hey, if anyone has the pixel experience 9.0 (Android pie) build for Max pro m2, could you please share the link after uploading it. I knowl am asking a lot, but
Ihave been using PE 9.0 CAF a long time and really like it. I tried Android 10 builds, but they are just not that good. My file got corrupted somehow and all the pie builds have been deleted from the official PE website. So, if anyone could share gdrive or some other link of PE Android pie build for our device (CAF version if possible), it would be really helpful. Thank You.
