Hello to my new peeps lol
I picked up a Rooted Galaxy S3(i747) last night on Ebay and it should arrive early next week, seeing most here are probably like me coming from a rooted Galaxy S2 I was hoping for any tips from my XDA friends here on what I should back up onto my SDcard from my GS2 (my GS2will be shipped out Monday morning to its new owner)... I have been using Titanium Pro(purchased version) since day one with my Galaxy S2 so I'm thinking that alone should be a big help... Also I have Super Backup for backing up my Call Logs and Text which has worked well everytime I have gone to a new ROM... Anything I am missing or suggestions?? I'm pretty pumped about coming over here from the GS2, had some great friends over on the GS2 forums and I'm sure it will be the same here..
Thanks to all in advance,

The only things I backup in TiBu are my apps. I use SMSBackup + for my SMS and Calllog backup/restore. Everything else I allow my device to backup to Google as well. All those combine make a pretty easy migration to a new device/ROM

There seem to be two versions in the market, neither compatible with the S3. Though the slightly more expensive version is compatible with my S2.
Is it worth buying that one whilst it is on sale for 69 pence? Or is that one that will never be compatible with the S3?

MS infiltrator working fine on my S3.
Which version did you get? There seem to be two in the Market

unless you have a custom ROM which was built from a NON UK source the game will NOT work
This message shows on the app market page:
"This item cannot be installed in your device's country."
It sucks big time. Maybe a custom App DL'd elsewhere. But obviously that's a bit dodgy
Looks like EA list US and rest of world versions. Not yet compatible with the S3. But I have still bought it whilst on sale.
Sure it will get S3 compatibility in time?.

the game works fine, i finished it couple of days ago its brilliant.
I have a Tab 10.1 and an Acer A510 tied to my Google account. Using the 'rest of the world' version, I still can't buy it with either tablet. A shame really cause it's on sale and I want to give EA my money. I've already played the whole game, but since I got the apk without paying them...anyways seems like EA doesn't want my money.
I can't buy it either! Shame now that it was only 0.69€
I bought it pretending it is for my old S2 but cannot download it as of yet.
Anyone know if there is a market enabler for the S3 we can use?

I have also bought the game on sale for my Galaxy S II running CM9 and it downloaded fine plus the files also downloaded fine but after that, all i see is a black screen. Anyone else having such a problem?
I sent an E Mail to EA and they were no help.
I bought it for my old phone just 2 weeks before my SGS3 arrive from pre-order. Full price, just to find out this don't work on the new phone.
Now I'm in touch with EA to solve this.
Dead Space have the same problem.
On the other hand, Modern Combat 3, from Gameloft, that I bought on sale, just took me 5 days until them sent me the APK compatible with SGS3.
From the Bioware Community Manager:
"Attention Samsung Galaxy S3 owners: The device will be receiving an update in the next few weeks which will let you play ME: Infiltrator!"
Source.
So, good news
In the next few weeks... come on that cant be...

I managed to get my hands on the MEI APK from the Titanium Backup of my last device and with that I installed MEI and even downloaded the aditional data without any problem.
The game is already compatible with the SGS3, the problem is just to update the compatibility list on the download page.
I just checked the android market and it is now listed as compatible with my device. Might want to give it another look and see if it downloads.
I purchased this game on my Galaxy Note. I can see it there as purchased on my S3 but it says incompatible.
How can I get around this???

backup the app with TiBu & transfer the apk to your S3 and install it.

Legend. :good:
So I got the game to download it's ~400mb of data and it loads the intro, but just cuts out to the home screen part way through.
I've tried restarts, uninstall, re-install, all the basic stuff.
Any ideas?
I bought it for my sgs2, and sent the apk to my sgs3
Works perfectly

My career is nowhere near anything related to electronics. Consequently, I only know one rooted Android user, but it's actually became a source of bonding for us, since it's a rare little hobby we share. Have you made friends with other rooted users?
Actually, it's a good question. I only know one rooted user and It's my girlfriend who has my old Galaxy S with CM9 on it.
I have rooted so many of my friends phones and installed custom roms that it is unfit...
nice question .. just 1 .. but loads of friends on android, i have converted majority of them
Seven here, as I have convinced most of my boys and they are now rooted along with a few of their friends.
Like your statement regarding "shared hobby", I have to agree in my case and I enjoy the ability to "talk shop" with my kids. :silly:
I personally know 2, I walked 1 of them through while the other guy saw me doing a nandroid, then the rest is history.
Of the dozen or so people I know that have Android phones, I would reckon on about 9 of them running rooted non-stock ROMs. Of the non-rooted ones, I have done my best to get them to take the plunge but no luck so far...
Sadly very few.
I know a handful from work I'd guess 5 or 6. We talk about root / roms but I dont really see them outside of work.
outside of work I know 5 others. My brother and sister. Mother in law, sister in law and my wife.
I manage all those phones hahaha
it's been 3 yrs and i know 0 people who rooted their phone.
I work in with a lot of technical people. However, I can only think of 3 people who have rooted Android devices. Everyone else is missing out.
My wife still won't let me mess with her Droid Incredible - I'd love to get CM9 on that thing for her (or maybe just to feed my own obsession)
I work in IT so I do know a few but percentage wise it is probably less than 2%.

I know 4. once Evo, one HP touchpad, one Acer iconia, and a galaxy S3.
i know about 10 others who i have tried to get into the ROOT/ROM scene but no one wants to jump in. phones including some Droid X2's, Razr, Galaxy Note, and my wifes Incredible 2 and nexus 7 remain untouched because she "doesn't want me to mess anything up"
root? LOL
Root-users friends?
AHAHAHAHAH
My friend watch me like as astronaut , when i show them i have different launcher!
only one friend, buyed used HD2 with miui rooted pre-installed
All my friends love to tweak or mess with their phones so they all are rooted users.
My family (mom,two brothers n me) sister is n iOS fan boo
We all got galaxy nexus n rooted with custom ROM
Mom always ask questions and want to customize more she learning
Two bros on different ROM one on parandroid the other cm10
Mom and I are stock
She love it

I've created many monsters and crack flashers
i know a few
some fully understand why and what they did, others... well, maybe somebody did it for them
My GF.
But Like another poster, only because I gave her my old Samsung Spica with CM7!
I know one other guy who keeps telling me he's thinking about rooting his SGS but isn't sure..... why??? :silly:
I met a waiter at OliveGarden that had CM7 on his DROID. That was a while ago tho, other than him I know zero people who have rooted their phones.
Almost 2 years ago, I had an HTC Inspire. Earlier this year, I moved up to a Galaxy Note II..got it rooted and have been loving it ever since.
However, I'd really like to find an app like Boot Manager. I bought the app when I had the Inspire, but it does not work on the Note II. I tried emailing them...a month ago and no response. Now, reading the reviews, it seems they stopped updating it and just let the app die. Are there any other apps out there similar to Boot Manager for Note II?
I tried asking in the Q&A....129 views and 0 responses.
There isnt anything like that for most phones. Best you can do on the note is dual boot

Thanks hun, I may try that soon....after I find 2 ROMs I absolutely love
I'm guessing all the bad reviews woke up the BM devs because they updated their description:
"We apologize for letting this app die we became very busy with other works, however, starting today (November 7th) we have began to work on this project again. We plan to update soon and will be working on the following: support for Galaxy Nexus JB, and Samsung Galaxy S3 support. If you would like to suggest other points to work on follow us at @init2winitapps on twitter and mention us to contact us."
Which is good news for those people but bad for the ones not on the list....ah well...it was a $3 app that served it's purpose.

burg is a brand-new boot loader based on GRUB. It uses a new object format which allows it to be built in a wider range of OS, including Linux/Windows/OSX/FreeBSD, etc.
While it's been a great year run, albeit with a few hiccups, it is time to retire my Hercules.
I can remember June 11th, 2013 as if it was yesterday. Waiting patiently for UPS to arrive (and eventually waiting until 10 pm, but that's another story). I received the package from HSN. It was my brand new T-Mobile Galaxy S II. After setting it up and then sleeping. I set off to root it! (No custom rom at this point.) I was surprised at all of the information I found here coming from the somewhat barren Optimus L9. I rooted it and immediately changed the DPI haha. Idk why now because that was the only time i ever changed it! About a month later however all the trouble started. The SIM card slot was broken (one of the pins) and I had to mail it in. So I did! Anxiously waiting for it to arrive again it made its way. I then re rooted and installed a custom rom... that night I was awakened by the sound of the phone rebooting over and over again endlessly.... the power button was suck.... I called Samsung (after trying the many fixes listed here) and sent it in..... it came back a week or so later... 2 days later.... same issue! So then I sent it back AGAIN talked to a manager..... they said theyd just give me a new one.... 2 weeks later it came back....... fixed but not new.... I slapped CM10.2 on it and was super happy. This would be the end of all the warranty issues finally! I then just flashed roms occasionally mainly from Hell Devs and enjoying my time in these threads. I almost crapped my pants when I had Kitkat for the first time . Here we are now though over a year later. Yes this device has caused me many headaches with its somewhat horrible battery life and somewhat odd FC's and RR's but this device is what made me love Android and know that by ditching my iPhone 4 I made the best decision ever! It is now time to say goodbye however. As I have just purchased my first current gen Android device. The Galaxy Note 3! I can't wait to see what lies ahead of me now with this great device and I hope to see many of you over there in the T-Mobile Note 3 Threads! I love you all and thanks so much for making my T989 what it is today, and for making me love android
ps - I messaged a mod about making this thread but never got a reply. I hope its "legal" to post this here, I really wanted to say goodbye and thank you I love you all!!!
I was there too. Have worked up the line through the phones and forums listed in my sig. Good times at each stop.
goodbye! take care!
Hello everyone. My name is Stephanie. I have a stock Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Tmo and a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 n8013. I have been rooting and playing with my phones since the old Palm days. Why I wanted my Palm to be and Apple I will never know. Yuck! Android junkie now! I worked for a year with Sprint as a phone technician. I am ASC certified by them. (What a joke.) I am going to root and I am looking for a good rom to try. It doesn't have to be stable. I don't mind being a beta tester and helping with development. Feel free to send me a message and say "hello." Have a great night or day, depending on your location.:highfive::highfive:

Give the Alliance ROM a try, if you like Android 5.x. That one and DomPop are the 2 best ones I've used and I'm reasonably new to the Note 3 myself. Have fun!
Thanks for the recommendation! I have been on my Note 3 for awhile now. If you have any questions feel free to hit me up. Have a great day! :laugh:
