If T-Mobile gets it first....fine by me....there roms will work. I've never used stock. And won't.

Sucks how it still says testing pending... I wonder if we'll get a mysterious leak from Telus/Koodo or T-Mobile to test it for them lol. Can't wait for it anyways. Eager to get the vibration back to normal and also for the ROMs to be actually smooth

Please put all the JB discussion in the Official JellyBean Discussion thread stickied in this section.
Thanks to all

So which ICS is better???

[ROM] ***SkyRocket-ICS-Port-SGH-T989*** OR [ROM] [cwm]-ICS-4.0.3-Self-Kang .. . . are they the same or whats the difference?
which one is more stable and complete??
THANK u!!
The Skyrocket version is the AT&T TW leak and has working data and voice (works well other then auto rotation).
The other is AOSP (stock android) but does not fully function yet (no data or voice). This is the version I will be using once fully functional.
so for right now is best to stick with the port until the other one works
Raverx3x is more promising and what ics should be.the other is much more functional.to me raverx3x is a lot faster.

there is a thread in this section and another one in the general section (the skyrocket test thread-people have been using that one) for the skyrocket port...i would assume that there is gonna be a new thread in the development section once an update arrives seeing as that is a DEVELOPMENT topic...but with all the thread locking going on..who knows

I don't think this is an epic fail at all. It seems like there is a 26 day turn around time from testing to roll-out. If anything remains consistent, I'm hoping we see jelly bean sometime mid august.

The leaked version is FG01, its the exact same file they'll start pushing out. Using it with ODIN would be the same. That said, some people just want to wait for an ota, and that's OK too.

Never a good idea to accept an ota when rooted and rom'd. This is especially true if your ROM is JB and you accept an ICS ota. It is still fresh in the community's hands but rest assured anything of value from this small update will be integrated into community ROMS.

The official radio was posted on July 16 out of the FG01 by Sextape. Initially he didn't want to release the full FG01 so he just did the radio, but after a few days changed his mind and released the whole enchilada. So, if you head to that link you can grab just the radio if that is all you're interested in.
no one should be including radios in roms.
and there was a cwm flashable zip of the radios made teh day they leaked
Is there any advantage to flashing that radio? I'm on the jellin Rom, with fd02 radio.

There are certain optimizations to this phone which Samsung keeps closed source. Having an official release may allow devs to take advantage of them.
Case in point: try doing a quadrant benchmark on both a touchwiz and aosp ROM and you'll see that the difference is profound.

I haven't been running a TW ROM for quite sometime, but his was one of the first I ran months ago. Why did he shut down development in the first place? He had one of the best original ROMs out for our phones.

Yup
Though he was looking for testers for 4.0 release... only person to say if and when an update is coming out for sure is @clark44 himself.
Maybe someone else can pick up development for him and of course having permission to do so.
I for one would like to see and updated ROM with the latest releases because this is one of the few that is simple and clean with no theming.
Clark only supported the Sonic S3 for about 6 mos. He obviously was not in for the long haul. So more than likely his support for S4 is also gonna be short until another phone to his liking comes out. IMO cellphones popularity lifespans are about six months.
Is it really worth supporting some devs that disappear in 6 mos.?
I think he will still release something for the S3. I just saw on his twitter "I never forgot about FreeGS3 " but I'm not really sure what that could mean.
He's been very active in the S4 forums. I'd be shocked if FreeGS3 received an update. Not to worry though, there are other ROMs available that actually have good developer support, are as stable or better, and have many more features and options. What is the attraction to an updated FreeGS3 ROM? You can be quite certain it will have little to no support even if it ever surfaces.

I too am looking forward to a new version. In the mean time i've tried almost everyother rom out there, found some really great ones, and im still hoping a new version of this one will be released.

That'd be because at the time of its release and support FreeGS3 was one of the better bug free TW roms without over themeing the piss out of it. It was a damn good rom back in the day.
But in the end life happens and people move on. Just like whenever i upgrade to w/e phone is out, i wouldn't think twice about picking up my gs3...

I'm sure if he was going to update the S3 something would be out by now. At least he would have said something on his thread for the S3. At least I'll have his S4 ROM once I move to the S4.

As much as I agree with Mlin, Clark's rom was a bug-free rom after several updates. I just wished someone would update his rom and his thread in a fairly regular basis. But when a rom is that good, there isn't any need to update.
Let's see how long he'll stick around.
I've left TW roms for awhile. There are quite a bit of good AOSP roms out there now.

[Q] Make AT&T Galaxy S3 act and look like Galaxy S4

I am saving towards a Galaxy S4, but in the meantime, I was wondering if there is a Rom that can make my S3 look and feel like a S4?
Thank you!
If you're talking about the features like eye tracking and finger hovering over and stuff like that then no. Its nearly impossible to port those things since its completely different hardware and TouchWiz is closed source. There is a couple of ROMs that have multi-window and other goodies but not like the S4. You can search and look around for a modified S4 launcher and theme to make it look like one. But that's as close as you'll get.

Yes, to answer your original question. There is a way to make it look like the S4.
Hyperdrive [XDA Link] - It has a few of the widgets that the S4 has as seen in the screenshots. Other than that, I would say hold off for official updates on the S3.

Only issue is the i747 and i747M seem to be the forgotten models when it comes to updates. I just read that the Verizon model just received the 4.1.2 update, and quite recently Sprint and T-Mobile received it. Also, the i9300 just got the 4.2.2 update. Meanwhile, the most used S3 (i747/i747M) hasn't received anything, nor have there been any news or hints regarding updates.

My AT&T SGH-i747 only came with 4.1.1. (Somehow, I thought I had 4.1.2; but, apparently I was wrong.)
I was also searching for ways to upgrade the software to make it more S4-like. If I must wait, then I must wait. But I really enjoy tinkering with it.
Until recently, I had AOKP Android 4.2.2 on it, but an update (9-10-2013) caused my phone, messaging, and several other apps to disappear.
So now, I'm back to the original factory, unlocked, unrooted, stock Android 4.1.1.
It wants to do an AT&T update, but I don't know what the update is. So, I haven't approved it yet. I want to go back to AOKP, but I can't find the file I used with ODIN to root it the first time.

If you are going to AOKP, I think you just need to flash a recovery, i.e. CWM or TWRP and flash the rom of your choice.
flash rom to 4.1.2
As long as you're not rooted the built in OTA updater in the Settings should update you to 4.1.2. I recommend CF Auto Root and pwncakes' Quantum rom (4.3) if you like AOSP, if not, Hyperdrive is easily the most complete TW rom.
