You don't need to back up, because restoring that won't make you "stock". You'll always have stock images to flash back to stock Android whenever you need to via your PC.

Custom ROM? or Stock? If you want stock, flash 4.0.4 takju, and let it OTA to 4.1.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

[Q] now this MAY sound stupid but...

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.

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

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!

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.

New to jellybean

Hey i recently made the decision to test drive jellybean, currently on "jellybam" 4.2.1. and it seems pretty decent, only problem is mobile odin lite does'nt seem to work, how would i go about flashing another rom, especially if to go back to ics or gb???

Did it come with a safe recovery, or is it stock? The ODIN OC files found in the Android Development section (the ones by Team Sextape) are easiest. Jut backup your stuff and get the restore versions. I've seen too many problems with the NoData ones.
EDIT: you can just use the on-device recovery if you're going to update your ROM, or go between AOSP ROMs. I still recommend the ODIN OC files for flashing stock ROMS though.

You're on a custom Jb rom, that causes problems, that's why you stick to stock/rooted Jb. It runs smooth and everything works.
Source has not been realised, so for now you go with stock/rooted builds of Jb.

Running AOSP kernels

Hi guys,
I'm running stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on my d2tmo Galaxy S3. When I look up kernels and whatnot, they are labelled many different ways. Some have JB in the name, some with AOSP in the name. I'm wondering: what types of kernels can I flash if I'm running a rooted stock ROM? I don't want to flash any custom ROMs because I'm a musichead and I like the stock music player
Thank you!

First of all you can get then stock music player with a custom rom
Second you can only run aosp kernels with an aosp rom. Aosp stands for android open source project. Aosp is not stock.
You can only use kernels labeled stock or touchwiz if you are using stock based rom

3rd of all, what in the heck do you want? Haha, you say you are running a 4.1.2 rom (only aosp available on TMO) so AOSP... but you want a kernel for stock (4.1.1) touchwiz rom? The stock music apk is great and works on all stock touchwiz based roms, and in my resource guide I have a huge list of what is available and what is what, if the kernel says 4.1.1 TouchWiz then it is for 4.1.1 TouchWiz. if it says 4.2 AOSP it is for 4.2 AOSP, if it says 4.1 AOSP then it is for 4.1 AOSP... Look in my resource bible in my signature, or in the dev sections for [kernel].

See, that's where I get confused. Sorry for the noob questions. I've been looking around but can't find clear, precise answers.
I'm running the stock TouchWiz, out of the box, 4.1.1 Jelly Bean (updated while not rooted to 4.1.2). That stock ROM is not the same as an AOSP ROM or an AOKP ROM, is it? I have another Android device that runs CM10.1 so I know a bit here and a bit there about ROMs and whatnot, but I'm not so confident when it comes to my S3.
Simply put, I want to keep that stock ROM, but get a custom kernel, because the stock kernel SUCKS. I need to know what kernels I can flash, and clninja already said I can only flash kernels labelled stock or TW. Am I correct, so far?
Thank you!

Well here's a Kernel that is supposed to be supported for STOCK rooted : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785466 :highfive: But seriously you should get a custom ROM, the performance improvement is incredible and power management too ! :laugh:

That ROM is labelled Jelly Bean in the title but underneath that it says it's only compatible with ICS. Question mark.
Question: when you're running a custom ROM, if there's an update for it, say from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, you can just flash the update right over and not worry about problems right? Or do you need to factory reset through recovery and wipe the caches all over again?

There are a couple of touchwiz kernal's around, Ktoonsez is one that I would recommend, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871946
Usually the general rule of thumb with upgrading custom rom is full wipe and flash, but some users has dirty flashed and had no problems so it depends whether your phone likes you or not.

Most of the times when you flash a ROM that is built off itself, you can "dirty flash". Example--> That means if you are already on a RootBox Nightly 2/17 with a clean install and RootBox 3/6 comes out, all you have to do is wipe /cache and /dalvik-cache and then flash the new version of the ROM. If any bugs creep up, then if you dirty flashed, chances are that is why.
If you are going to go from a TWiz ROM to an AOSP/AOKP ROM then I suggest a full factory reset and wipe accordingly. That way you have a clean install.
Read the OPs of the ROMs

You could install the update, but seriously I never do updates. I manual flash the whole new ROM. ( and I never had any accidents or bugs)
For the kernel, its was a example kernel chose the one you prefert ( THAT SUPPORT TOUCHWIZ STOCK ROM ) or just flash a new ROM with build-in kernel like the ParanoidKANGdroid 10.2 ROM !

I flashed the FrostyJellybean ROM with Xone kernel and it's been good so far. I'm a religious person when it comes to battery, but so far it's about the same as the normal drainage on the stock ROM, no noticeable improvements.
Another question (whoop): if I run a Nandroid backup, does that backup include the ROM itself? In other words, if I'm running the Frosty ROM, and there's a ROM I want to test, will creating a Nandroid include the Frosty, or will it just backup the system image excluding the ROM itself? I'm asking this because I have wanted to restore my Nandroids but didn't know if that backup may overwrite my existing ROM with the previous ROM.
Thank you guys for taking your time to help me out, I really appreciate it!

I have flashed a new ROM, so I no longer have the stock Build Number. It now says FrostyJellybean v11.6. I can tell you for a fact that I was previously running 4.1.1 rooted but without any customization or mod whatsoever outside the phone's original settings, so as stock as you can get.

A Nandroid is essentially a snapshot of your ROM at that point in time. You can back it up, try a new ROM and if you don't like it, then restore your Nandroid. A Nandroid should be done before you flash anything. You don't necessarily have to keep them all except your latest, but at least have one for when you try something out.
You can flash and restore just fine from ROM to ROM. Only thing is, you can't restore across platforms. Meaning, if you are on JB 4.1.1, you couldn't restore to ICS 4.0.4. Likewise you can restore a JB 4.1.1 if you are on a JB 4.2.2 ROM because of the file structure. There are ways to do it, but I won't go into that right now. Moral of that story is you can flash and restore laterally as far as builds go, but you cannot restore across different base builds.
*************
I just wanted to see your Settings>About Phone>Build Number because in your OP, you stated that you were running "stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean". We don't have a stock 4.1.2 ROM, so I was making sure you didn't have another phone. Sure, could be a T999 but there are Canadian versions out there that require different things.

Oh, about the Android version, yes, it's 4.1.1. I wrote 4.1.2 because I thought there was some stuff going on, like wireless and whatnot, and had previously read somewhere that 4.1.2 was rolling out and my phone was doing the "Android is upgrading" thing when it booted up and I didn't check the version before writing that. No worries, it was the stock 4.1.1.
Thank you so much for answering my questions, you guys are awesome!
