[Q] now this MAY sound stupid but... - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

so im on stock ICS. not rooted.
and i want android jelly bean.
now all i've seen is that you have to get CM10 to do it. but i don't like to use "non stock roms", so is there anyway I can still get jelly bean without using CM?
and if not CM, then i really dont wanna use other ROMs either.
so in other words, is there a way to get jelly bean on sprint s3 using the "official" look of the jelly bean OS (and not other ROMs' looks)?
thanks! (and yes ill root and do all that too)

Closest thing to stock jelly bean.

Right in the development section.... But read about the rom before flashing it. Make sure it's something you want on your phone.

Not yet, but there's someone saying they have some leaked update.zips. These will be leaked builds so when it goes official you'll either need to go custom or Odin back to stock. Either way it's the equivalent of a factory reset. It will also probably have annoying bugs. If you want a strong, stable build you'll just have to be patient. If this guy posts the update zips, feel free to give a go, but know you might as well be custom because stock recovery will probably reject the official OTA when it drops.

Does he not want clockwork recovery or cyanogenmod? Now I'm not sure which... Nevermind, reread.

so i guess CM10 is the safest bet.
now another question:
since jelly bean (stock) is going to be coming out from sprint update sometime in october, what will I have to do? do a factory install, install stock ICS? and then manually update to jelly bean?

Just to help assuage your fears, the creator of Cyanogen is like head developer for Samsung or something now. It's as safe as a stock build. I personally don't love CM roms and people seem to love aokp just as much. It's all personal preference. Just follow the rules of switching between because it can be a rocky ride. When in doubt Odin back to stop and rework from there. There is a lot of fun in it. Stock is stock, it's also made by developers who may or may not be as qualified or passionate as anyone on here. All up to you though.

I would just be patient and wait a month or 2 for the real official jb update Thayer sprint will send to your phone

1) flash ktoonez kernel. Check HW overlay in developer settings.
2)Don't know the issue your referring to.
3)download another keyboard if you need to because this only comes with one keyboard so you can't change the input method until you download another one

thanks a lot man!
new issues:
1) the battery is GOD awful! i lasted like 6-7 hours with about 1.5hrs screen time. i was used to 30hrs+ using stock ICS. is there a battery fix for this?
2) should i use SetCPU or will this make matters worse? juice defender is already pretty awesome
3) i fixed the swype thing

s Beam on roms

was wondering if there was a way to install the s beam app for the gs3 rooted running a stock rom. i'm running aopk jelly bean and wanted to have the s beam feature. any ideas what to do?
If you want the stock Samsung apps like S Beam just Odin back to stock. From there root through Odin and as long as you don't flash any apps or anything you'll have a stock rooted ROM with all the S apps.
closest thing to s-beam right now afaik is the regular android beam. s-beam probably won't work on cm/aokp roms as it may be baked into samsungs framework. but then again maybe i'm wrong.
Ok now I'm thoroughly confused by the OP. He first asks if it's possible to have the S apps on a stock rooted ROM. Then it seems he wants it on a CM10 based ROM.
I think it's possible, but either not practical or the CM team has other priorities. When I first flashed CM9 on my SGS3 I was able to keep a few of the TW framework features, but lost them after a few days. No idea the cause or what actually was going in the background since I forgot to make a logcat and it's too late now.

Should i Root and install CM10 ?

Hi
I just bought a S3 yeah \o/
Now my question, im under BELL, the phone was originaly from ROGERS. So i have all the rogers app, booo.
I know Jelly Bean is coming soon.
So my question is :
If i Root, and install CM10 by exemple, i know the the original Rom in the S3 have a lots of nice tweek and option.
if i install CM10, will i loose all those option and tweek ? Or those should already be in CM10 ????
Other scenario, if i wait for BELL to push Jellybean, will it get all the rogers app out ? And be a real bell phone after the push ?
Thanks

What tweaks are you talking about? CM10 is based on AOSP so all Touch Wiz options are gone, for example all the Motion features are going to be gone, and the camera features and settings those are also going to be gone.
CM10 has its own features, but they are not the same as TW interface.
You will lose all of the "smart" features by flashing any cm10/aokp rom. You will also have all of the bloat apps from rogers removed.
another alternative would be to root the phone, and install titanium backup and just remove the bloat apps yourself using that app. If you wanted to keep all of the "smart" features.
Either way it is very simple to restore back to stock rom so you can receive the OTA jellybean update whenever it pops off. You simply download the firmware for the Rogers device (unrooted and stock recovery) and then flash that using odin and it will bring you back to stock so you can get the jb update.
**go here and search i747m and get the rogers stock rom if you ever wish to restore so you can get the ota jb update, even though when its released you will see a pile of roms built based off of it so you could just flash one of those to get jellybean goodness**

To get rid of rogers apps without root all I did was find them in application manager and disabled them.

To the OP, you can root and not have to try one of the custom roms. If you really like some of the samsung features then try one of the roms that is based on the samsung touchwiz roms. AOSP based roms like CM10 will be missing many of the little things that samsung put in their phones.
Sounds like you want all the Samsung tweaks, so I'd go with Drewgaren's rom, found in the android development section for this device. It's a great ROM but I still prefer CM10.
As a big camera guy, I REALLY like the Samsung camera app, but the AOSP setup is a lot cleaner, faster, is better with google services and more uniform looking... Currently JB AOSP based stuff isn't perfect either as there is no GS3 JB source, I've used AOKP a lot and really like it, but with searching for a new job I really need to make sure I have a stable and bug free phone.
I have a nandroid of both and swap back and forth occasionally... I'm crazy!

Thanks guys i might wait a little bit for the jelly bean soon maybe

Jelly bean should be out for the AT&T S3 within the next couple of weeks.
definitly flash cm10. you'll loose touchwiz features like s voice, smart stay, ect because you are flashing an aosp rom. the advantage is that the rom is alot smaller and lighter so you get a huge speed increase and better battery life. if your worried about stability i can say from experience cm10 is currently much more stable than what i got from at&t out of the box.
make a nandroid before you flash so you can always flash back and recieve the ota when it comes out.

[Q] Noobish question about ROMs

I'm slowly learning my way around flashing, but so far, I have only used un-modified or only slightly modified pre-rooted TW ROMs (thanks freeza.)
The main reason for this is I really like my home setup with GO launcher and my theme (props to mindseed for awesome steampunk themes for the launcher and many widgets.)
I really want to start in on some of the custom ROMs. Can someone tell me if I can still use GO launcher with them? And if so, can I restore the go launcher data from TI so I don't have to spend hours setting up my phone again? Can I just restore all system data from TI after flashing a custom ROM so I don't have to mess with notification settings either?
One other question. What would be some good ones to start with? I assume things like the CM10 nightly builds are above my pay grade.

I was on LIH but then I went out of town for a while so I went back to LI3 (that was an adventure, but it helped me learn my way around combining various individual TI backups and a nandroid) so I could tether my tablet.
I am on LI3 now, but I'm back home and I can live without tethering for a while so I'm looking at all the variations on LIH, LI3, and LG8 which is why I'm asking.
Don't think you can flash n keep all ur data too cuz u have yo do a full wipe when changing base bands but lih is the best right now but Jason beach jelly bomb is the best one running right now to me it runs on lih with a custom kernel that give longer battery life but its up to you thou or you can use freeza tw hes lih now its just a stock theme thou

Thats not true. You DO NOT have to wipe to change basebands.
I recommend cm10 BTW, fck touchwiz. Too much lag
I might try w/o wiping at first, but if there were any problems, wiping then re-flashing would be the first thing on my troubleshooting list.
If I did wipe, would I have any problems using TI to restore all user apps + system data after flashing a custom LIH ROM if I made the TI backups on a stock rooted LI3 TW ROM?

[Q] Sense 4.1 app folder laggy

I just recently bought this phone, everything about it is great except that opening the app folders on homescreen is kinda laggy. Did anyone experience this? Wondering if there is a fix.
no problem on custom ROM and custom kernel. :good: never tried stock ROM...
Haven't tried any of the custom roms out there, anyone worth trying?

I swear they're all so awesome that it's basically personal preference, lol.
Keep in mind that the new Sense Jelly Bean ROMs require specific CIDs in order to work.
And remember to read instructions before installing....
Thanks! I might hold up for a while as I just read the news JB is being rolled out at the moment. Can't wait for the OTA update in UK!

First time S3 rooter... want to install Jellybean on i747

Am coming from GNex and helping my bro set up his S3 which is completely stock, but just now rooted successfully. Can someone point me to step by step to get a stable Jellybean build on it (nothing fancy)... we have Clockwork Mod installed.

Said phone might already have Jelly Bean on it, considering stock Jelly Bean images have been available for a while now.
If not, try the instructions from here to get a stock-but-rooted Jelly Bean image on there, to start with.
