[Q] Getting my S3 in a day or 2. Ideal rom for cifs support and hdmi?

Hello, well T-Mobile failed on my upgrade.. they tried to send me out the Marble white when I upgraded my 2yr for the Pebble Blue.. so unless they make it a Sat delivery, I am stuck waiting till monday. =/ Gives me a chance to look thinsg over here. Now I was hearing CM10 ASOP was a stable build if I wanted Jelly Bean. However I also heard ASOP breaks the HDMI ability? Also looking for a rom with the cifs ability for network shares. (Also DLNA still work on these non stock roms?)
So anyways also been reading the rumor that sometime next week or so the official JB will be released, so should I wait on a custom rom for official builds to be used to upgrade the custom roms or is there something common and main stream thats ideal to use for everything without issues. Also confused about the Panorama stuff, Never used that before and I hear some roms feature it.
Anyways if anyone could help point me with the right basic info, so when I get my S3, I have some insight on whats ideal atm or the status. =) Not new to XDA here, so I already know lots of reading to do before flashing my ideal stuff. =) Thanks.

ive tried out several of the stock based roms. my favorite is the wicked rom by evil1art. its pretty stable. ive used it with the hdmi mhl connector and its great. on a side note, be careful when you buy that connector as the pin configuration for the s3 is different. there is an adaptor piece you can buy if you already own one. thats what i did. its like 9 bucks on amazon.
in my opinion the AOSP roms are just not quite there yet. plus, a lot of people, myself included, really like what they have done with touchwiz. not everyone will agree with that statement but its my opinion.
ive been tempted to try out some of the JB leaks but im holding out for the official release i think. i personally hate dealing with buggy roms. i prefer more stable builds.
kernel wise, trinity kernel and faux kernel are both really popular. try some things out and see what works best for you
im assuming your panorama question refers to the camera? its pretty simple you select it when the camer is open. its one of the options on the side and you just slowly pan the camera as you take the picture. ive had mixed luck with it. panorma photos ive taken with apps from the market tend to come out a little cleaner. but its a great option for capturing a view or scenery that you just cant grab in one shot.
all in all in general. the camera is the best ive ever used on a phone. but again, other people might have a different opinion on this.
hope this helped a little bit.

Personal opinion, is to stay on stock until the Jelly Bean update, and then see what is done. WildChild usually will make a great clean rom of a stock build, and to be honest, the only way you are keeping the things you want, HDMI etc, you will have to stay with stock/touchwiz build. You can still do mods, and themes to try to get the look you want, but you will never get the functionality you want in AOSP. It's just too difficult, and not a priority for AOSP devs.

Ok so avoid AOSP. Good advice. Thanks! Also any news on cifs support or a cifs.ko file I can download and just insmod load for the S3? DNLA working good too? (Since my dd-wrt I have that running)
And yea, whats the point of using the phone without the hdmi heh. So I will assume then all CM roms are worse then stock at this stage (and/or lack HDMI ability?)
So in the end, you all are suggesting stick with stock, root it, play around till official JB comes out and roms based on it?

Wicked rom is working good for me.

I'm running CM10 nightlies on my GS3 and love it. Everything works fine, including MHL out. I can't really compare it to TW though since I've been running CM10 since I bought the thing lol.

Yea since latest news is toward the end of this month, maybe just before Galaxy Note 2 for JB for us S3. I may just wait to see roms based off the new official one. The trick is.. would I go CM10, then I am really wondering how we would even know a build changed up to start basing things more off the official source (vs leaked)

Definitly wicked rom. I've tried every rom in the s3 forums and by far wicked to me is the best all around. Wicked with ktoons kernel the pho e is blazing fast. Ultra smooth as stable as the day I took it out of the box and I get an average of 13-15 hours battery with farely heavy use. You will not be disappointed in this rom/kernel combo.

What is different in that rom vs stock?
Right now rooted stock.. isnt bad.. I was surprised to see how fast it is and that it DOES have cifs.ko support already! Woot!

Possibly buying SGS III today

while it's only $100 at best buy. How's the development for this one (AT&T)? It looks like 9/10 of the ROMs have been abandoned and not updated for a month or more, is there some reason for this?
Anyway, if I get the SGSIII I will NEED
GPS that locks within 30 seconds, I get lost A LOT.
Working audio (no skipping or weird issues) from the 3.5mm connector
stable and doesn't crash or go really slow
Camera working enough to at least take clear pictures quickly
Do any ROMs do this currently?
Also a couple other questions. What can I expect for battery life, does it last a whole day with moderately heavy use? Any known issues that just come with the device and can't be/aren't currently fixed, like crapple's camera flare or my Infuse's terrible GPS (that got fixed with a relaunch and silent recall)?

Wtf. Almost every cm10 or aokp rom has been updated nightly. Most touchwiz roms don't get updated since they are close to being finished since there are no bugs on stock roms.
If you want it to work good run touchwiz roms. With battery I get 15 to 25 hours and about 4 hours on screen time which is pretty heavy use. As for bugs none I know of on stock. Everything works flawlessly.

you can use aokp, Its great!

While the International version has a ton of roms, the I747 has a good amount of solid builds. You can have your choice of stock ics touchwiz (ariel), jelly bean touchwiz leaks (aristodemos, serenity) and aosp jellybean hybrids (aokp, liquid smooth, paranoid android). All work perfectly with GPS locking on within 15 seconds max. Never had a problem.

100$ outright or under contract? BB canada is 0$ on our crappy 3 year plan

Yea.... a lot of the TouchWiz ICS ROM's haven't had updates lately because there isn't really a whole lot for them to do with the ROM, since it was pretty much complete to begin with. Just about all they really did on them is remove bloat, add custom themes, and tweak some stuff here and there. The TouchWiz JB ROM's still get updated fairly regularly, since there are still tweaks to be made here and there, and things to be updated as new leaks arise. But stuff like Cyanogenmod and the different ROM's built off of it are updated daily or every other day or two.

Been using CM10 nightly and now on M2 stable build. I use it as daily driver and don't have any issues. You won't be disappointed OP

I'll give my two cents as I've had this phone for bout 4 days now and I am coming of iOS.
I am a fairly techy user. I I run Linux servers for fun. I am but never got jntk android because I figured I'd play with the phone more than use it and it would end up being broken half the time.
Immediately after getting it I rooted it and flashed the rom and have already tried CM10, two TW ROMs and whatever else I could get my hand on.
Ultimately for stability purposes I'm still on stock. The phone is really good in terms of use, and but be prepared to know that ROMing it is still an experimental thing and if you want it to work flawlessly, and you'll most probably sitting on stock (which is not a bad thing)

not to hijack the thread..
but is Ariel the ATT equal of CleanRom for verizon?
I'm on SlimBean but battery isn't stellar... so going to try my luck at a touchwiz rom.

I have a international gs3 9300 and an ATT gs3 and I run my Att gs3 as my main phone because tasks aokp jellybean ROM is hands down the best ROM built for either phone. The 9300 has many more roms than the i747. I bought the 9300 for the increased development and I learned the expensive way that quality beats quantity in the ROM department. Get the Att gs3 and root and flash tasks aokp and I guarantee you will be very happy.

I hope you got the phone today and I hope you enjoy it. Personally, I'm so satisfied with the stock rooted ROM that I've almost kicked my flashing addiction.
Almost.

You can look under the original development page for some good stable roms like SlimBean, PA, and Aokp. All function well enough to be a DD.

I agree with Jonny here... I too am running JB AOKP and everything works perfect. Task650 is always adding new commits and is constantly updating the ROM. Another point to consider... every phone is NOT created equal. The same ROM and kernel can run better/worse on one SGS3 to the next. You have to flash and try a ROM out to see how it runs for you because it won't be the same on another phone of the same model. Besides, what's stopping YOU from going through the development area and reading the threads like the rest of us have to do to learn what we need to? First suggestion.... don't be lazy and expect others to spoon feed you answers because you WILL receive backlash and grief. Do yourself a favor and SEARCH and READ anything and everything you feel is pertinent to your query. Spare yourself the frustration. This is just a word to the wise. No disrespect intended.

The GPS and Navigation is AMAZING on any Android phone.
Their Music app could use some work, however i do use the app PlayerPro
TouchWiz is pretty stable but i find gets slower with time and i think thats due to the fact that its running ICS. I would recommend flashing a custom ROM such as CM10 for JB which makes the OS run ALOT smoother.
The stock camera is also very good with alot of features.
Hopes this helps.

[Q] DrewGaren's JB 747 Milestone 7 or Serenity 1.2 GNote II?

Okay, so I'm sick of waiting for AT&T's "Official" release of Jelly Bean, therefore I've decided to flash a JB ROM. Having flashed a couple of times before (on my Cappy), I know to read a LOT beforehand. Now that that's done, I have narrowed my ROM choices to DrewGaren's Milestone 7 and Serenity 1.2. My question: For those of you who has tried both of these ROMS, which is more stable, and which do you prefer and why?

Def Serenity 1.2

I've tried them both and actually prefer JellyBean747 M7 to Serenity. It seems closer to stock for me, and a little cleaner. That said, I did make a few changes to get it working the way I wanted. In addition to installing the QuickFix, I installed KT's kernel and used the TMO RIL files to fix the international calling thing.
I do see that Drew has Serenity 1.3 builds for TMO and Sprint. I might try 1.3 on my AT&T S3 when he releases it. Of course, I'm also hoping for JB747 1.0 in the near future, too.
Both are great ROMs. Make a Nandroid and try them out. I've flashed three or four different ROMs since trying JB747, but I keep going back. :good:

i've tried both. and i will give my props to Serenity.
and the main reason is that the ROM is based off AT&T. whereas JB747 is based off Sprint. i have the family shared plan, where i can "officially" tether, and i couldn't do that in JB747, because it was thinking Sprint when i'm on AT&T.

Agreed, but here's my concern (probably should have expressed this in my initial post, lol). Although Serenity 1.2 is based off of AT&T, it is a port from a different PHONE than the SGS3. And, the JB747 is stock-based on a different CARRIER, like you said. So, what's more important as far as stabilty is concerned, a ROM based on a different phone or stock-based on a different carrier?

Anyone?

I've come to the same spot you have and am interested in which of these two retain the most stock features.

in the case of TouchWiz, there's not too much of any differences between the 2, except these that i have noticed...
* the S Pen settings. can't really do anything with this.
* hover mode (or whatever it's called). where you can have a window of the stock internet browser (not Chrome or anything else) while another app is full screen. same for videos.
and that's all i really noticed. i really like the window browser feature. i don't know how to trigger it all the time. for example, i'm only able to trigger it if i'm within an (like TweetDeck for example), and i click a link. then that opens a window browser.

[Q] Which JB ROM works with PDroid?

I'm a NOOB when it comes to Android development, so, when I try to run the "Autopatcher" and it fails then it's time for me to give up and ask for help...
Has anybody gotten PDroid to work on Galaxy S3 w/a JB ROM?
If not, I guess I'll have to see if I can figure out how to fix the errors. Need to learn how to make a COMPLETE backup of my phone first so I don't have to re-install apps next time I soft-brick/boot loop my phone - need my phone to run solid as my "Daily Driver" (don't have a second GS3 for testing purposes...)

I'm assuming you're using cm10 or aosp?
I'm not aware of anyone ever getting it to work on non-aosp roms since the original was written for GB. Unless there's been a breakthrough in the last month or so, I wouldn't expect to see it on TW anytime soon.
Hope I'm wrong though! I've wanted this for a long time! But if no one could get it on ICS, well, JB is a bit more....finicky....

Well I was on Liquid Smooth and that was good, but, I missed some of the Touch Wiz "enhancements" - but - most of all I read this statement regarding any non-TW ROMs: "are missing the Qualcom Optimizations which" which make a substantial difference in performance.
AFAIK none of the CM10/AOSP ROMs have those optimizations - greater efficiency = greater battery life.
So I recently switched to FreeGS3 R7.1 "Resurrection" and when I look at my Battery and see that I've been on for 22 hours with SIXTY percent left - WOW, I don't want to go back.
But every day, several times a day, I'm thinking to myself how much it SUCKS that I can't control app permissions on my own stinking phone! ARGH!!! I miss being a teenager without the combination of work/school/kids/wife that has a list of things for me to do 'cause I don't have time to spend hours every day on software development for my phone (I must admit though, I do sneak into these forums whenever work is not busy, so maybe I could do some but I hardly know where to start in terms of getting PDroid working...)
I've asked several places, but don't know yet - is there ANY stable Jelly Bean ROM that works with PDroid for T-Mobile (T999) Galaxy S3?
EDIT: I feel like choosing between "Qualcom Optimizations" and PDroid (not being able to have both) on Jelly Bean is like buying a car and having to choose from either not having the engine, or not having the wheels - ie: not a good choice to have to make.

OK, my friend at work finally found one for me: galaxymod (port from Verizon).

Getting 1/2 the Quadrant score on AOKP, then on stock

Hello,
I just got my S4 from T-mobile and I ran a Qaud score on the stock ROM which was around 12,000. Then I just flashed AOKP and am now only getting around 6,500. Any idea why? How can I fix this?
I love vanilla Android, but I will have to go back to modded stock if I can't get the same fast speeds.
Thanks in advance,

PS I would post this in the actual ROM development thread, but I am not allowed to post there since I am new =/

The best thing to do is only flash the Samsung Touchwiz Tmobile M919 4.2.2 based custom roms .
You will also find that there will be no wifi calling in any of the AOKP/AOSP/CM roms.
Have you ever heard the audio playback in videos in any of the AOKP/AOSP/CM roms?
It's so quiet that you can hardly hear it without a headset and bluetooth does not work properly.
Also the camera in those roms have about 50% of the options and features when compared to the samsung camera.
The lcd screen/user interface of the camera does not look professional when compared to to the samsung interface.
Another thing, none of the new features which are related to touchwiz and samsung will be available in those roms.
For example: smart screen, smart stay, screen mirroring, s beam, air view, air gesture, voice control and more.
Good luck!

Don't hold much in scores. They can be easily adjusted with a few build prop edits with no real bonuses to real world use.

Hi,
I Would like to explain abit more,
The Hardware in each phone is different, and Samsung (or any other brand) will write thier drivers for thier hardware parts.
when a new phone comes out, the community attend to port a clean android build for that device, but they are not always able
to write a driver as good as Samsung does, please keep in mind that most of the reference guides of the hardware are secret.
so basically, it's always takes time since the device comes out, until there is a good working version of AOSP/AOKP rom...
BUT and this is a big BUT, for the S4 device, google announced that they are going to release a version of SGS4 with AOSP on it,
probably they did a good job writing (or porting) the hardware parts for the device..
i belive that when google will release thier version of SGS4, we are going to get much better AOSP/AOKP roms.
