Hi I just rooted my S3 Rogers, and now I don't know what to do. I want to extend my battery life by controlling what is being used and so on. What is my next step?

Make a nandroid then flash a ROM. Stock jellybean m5 is good or if you dont mind loosing touchwiz there's plenty of aosp ROMs. Keep in mind some ROMs are not completely stable.
Make sure your model number is correct.
Then flash a custom rom provided in the development section.
Currently using slimbean 4.1.1 and i love it
Need battery control? Install SetCPU and setup some profiles to automatically underclock CPU if screen is off, etc... helps a lot more than having an app turn on and off wifi, data, etc....
No need to flash another ROM if you're not comfortable in doing so... Additionally, there are other alternatives to SetCPU, so go ahead and search from the play store...
If I want jellybean and I have an i747 Rogers Samsung Galaxy 3 which one would be best? That is stable?I looked at CM10 but apparently it needs to be more stable. What about EUROSKANK one? Jellybro or Jellyblack? Are those for my model?

I found that website great to start as following the video tutorials make it really easy. Make sure you look at the AT&T sections and watch the videos or read instructions 2 or 3 times before you actually execute anything.

Everyone's phone is different and will react differently to the same ROM. I believe aokp, slimbean, baked black bean, and liquid jelly are the most stable right now.
Hello all! I too just rooted my S3 (at&t) and was looking into flashing some ROMs. But I came across 2 threads about backing up the IMEI. is this necessary? If it is, both methods look to be a little confusing to follow.

I want jelly bean too but coming from a galaxy Nexus I can tell you that none of the roms out there are worth it. That is if you wanna keep all the cool samsung features there are the Drew Garen roms that are okay at best. But if you don't mind losing all the cool samsungness. There's the usual suspects cm10, aokp and so on. What I did is
Flash wanam light on top of stock for added features, switched my extsd with the internal for more memorie and ported Google now on ICS because svoice reeks. Removed the bloatware. I'm good for now until Rogers rolls out its own version of Jb.

The entire Touchwiz framework, for one...
Then there's the camera app, which is by far superior to just about any other camera app, Smart Stay, all the cool gestures/moves ... those are all features that you won't find in any custom ROM.
Not saying those are all "must have" features, it all depends on you, but the fact remains that they are exclusive to Samsung based ROMs

Dude you totally stole my thunder :laugh: lol.
That's it
Personally like I said before coming from the gnex. If you want the pure google experience there's plenty to choose from. But I love the new touchwiz features and I'm sticking with. The JB leaks aren't on point yet. Which is why I'll wait for rogers's rollout. Or until a good stable leak comes along.

It sounds like you need a stock based ROM. There are leaks out of the official carrier releases. I recommend Drew's milestone 5 I've used it, its pretty stable, good battery life. I think the official jb update will come out by November.

Yes this ROM has all the Samsung features.
Make sure you back up your current setup, you might find it buggy and want to flash back.

Multiview on our dual-core units might not be enabled when the 4.1.2 or 4.2 update be rolled out due to the decoding bottleneck at 1080p
Having any more than two videos playing on our small screens wouldn't be practical anyway unlike the Note2 or a full fledged tablet.
You could also wait for Samsung's Premium Suite which most likely will be leaked anyway.

Apparently, the roll-out has already begun.
http://tech2.in.com/news/smartphone...i-premium-suite-upgrade-rollout-begins/658462
I wonder how the carrier implementation will be. I want one without the AT&T bloatware. What you could also do is to root your phone with CMW, install busybox and SpoofFW. You would then use SpoofFW to spoof the CSC and productCode to get Samsung Kies to give you that official update. It's just a though that I'll be trying out later today.

I don't think the i9300 software will work on anything other than the i9300.
We'll have to wait for the 4.1.2 firmware to be rolled out from carriers.
Keeping this in mind for next time I buy a phone. International is the way to go I suppose.

Does anyone have any idea when the update is estimated to be released?
I find it strange that there isn't any leaks available online as yet (for the i747)
It's not too strange. No leaks were released for the 4.1.1 update (that we could get our hands on...there was a version that appeared in some benchmarks, but was never found).
Try tweeting @ATTCustomerCare; they gave us a bit of information last go-around. Otherwise--and I'm the guy who started and curated the now-ancient "JB Release Thread"--rumors are rarely, if ever, correct. More than a few false alarms from crock websites stated the "4.1.1" update was being released "within days" weeks early from the actual release and even AT&T mis-typed that 4.1.1 update as being 4.1.2 in quite a few places (internal memos, Twitter).
The most accurate information was from AT&T and all it said was "coming soon." Granted, "coming soon" translated to about a week. Don't get your hopes up, though: some of the cool stuff in the 4.1.2 update, we already have in our version of 4.1.1 (like the Smart Rotation).
TBH, I think we're more likely to get a 4.2 update in a few months than a odd 4.1.2 update, because of that.
~Ibrahim~
Has anyone been able to find a 4.1.2 port from the i9300 to work on out i747 as yet since our carriers aren't going to compile it?
At this point I'm guessing a substantial stock firmware won't be coming until after the sgs4 is announced in a few months. Blame your carriers.
If you really want the latest and greatest go with an AOSP rom or a nexus device next time.

I'm looking for a AOSP ROM without any tweaks, but I've now gotten too used to the touchwiz interface.
I rooted my phone and found very few roms were available for my phone (UK Galaxy Note 2 LTE GT-N7105) I ventured over to AT&T Galaxy Note 2 Android Development forum to find more custom roms. After asking around found couple so far which I have tested myself as follows:

I'm too nervous to try AT&T roms on the HK phone. I bricked my Note 1 twice using wrong roms.
Not sure how reliable this is, but is says here that AT&T AND TMobile roms will work.
Anyone ready to try? From what I have read, the hardware is the same, it's just a couple things like the modem and kernel you have to remember about.
In fact, there is a ROM in the TMobile section that I am looking at right now, and the Dev says his ROM will work.... Read it here

What is with the HK Note II being treated differently?
I keep reading people saying that you can't flash the stock firmware to the Note II LTE if it's a HK one. Why not? it's still a GT-N7105.
What's different about it??
(I have one and want to know!)
i don't know, but my HK version is so picky about custom Roms. The only one that I can find so far that will run on it so far is Paranoid JB.
What happens when you try other ROMs?
And are you sure it's a N7105?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
The phone flickers on the Samsung screen and then blacks and never finishes loading. I either have to reload stock or the Paranoid to use it.
But you have another N7105 that works fine?
Can you provide some more details, at the moment it's just another anecdotal "Doesn't work"

Yeah, any of the roms that are based off of T-Mobile 4.1.2 will have the premium suite and WIFI calling. Any that are ported from a different carrier will not have wifi calling. Right now, the best and most flawless are either Stockorama or Infamous. If you scroll down the forum a bit, you will see at least about 10 more that where released but arent near as good as though two. After all, when something hits perfection, how much better can it possibly get? There are only a few ports left that are still being maintained every since T-Mobile got the upgrade. Mainly, it is just Hyperdrive. Most of the rest are T-mobile and have all the features.
If you want a more AOSP feel use AOSPWIZ. I'm loving it! It's butter smooth! WiFi Calling and Multi Window work great too.

That is because from what I understand, roms from the international phones use a completely diferent partition structure than the US carriers. That is the same reason why flashing an international rom on your phone will completely hard brick it where as one from a different carrier will most likely only cause boot loops. That pretty much makes it impossible to port anything that was made ffor the international phones to the us carriers.

I know right? We could make tmobile base roms of off the international roms but thats a lot of work. International s3 roms now run on jkay frameworks and everything else. That is a code by code to be ported over. Would have to be somebody that knows code smali work.
As of wanam he have released a rom for our tmobile s3 but is based of ics. Never been updated.
And those ported roms that are verizon based that had mw were not officially mw it was ported from the note 2. Verizon recently released the mw on them. Right now if I believe att is the only carrier without official mw and premium suits.
Remember a lot that used to work on 4.1.1 might not work on 4.1.2. If you look smali codes from both version are totally different.
But to tell you the truth. I really wish at least a 4.2 leak comes out for any us variant of the S3. International are now rocking 4.2.2 leak. And looks awesome. As for wifi calling. Tmobile have changed a lot. Used to with the g2 and g2x witch were aosp phones had wifi calling but now not even the n4 have it. And I dont think that Gs4 google edition will have either. I know there are some 3rd party apps that let you call over wifi but those wont let you use your own carrier phone number.
Why not go to the general tmobile note 2 forums and follow my Google voice + FreePBX tutorial which shows how to call over wifi with an Android app called csipsimple?

Neither of them come with either of those at the moment. Xposed framework though is made to install to any rom after you flash. Check the link in my sig. If you are refering to which Super User permission app that they come with, they both use SuperUser by Koush but you can also download and install any one from the play store such as SuperSU and it will update the binaries accordingly.

The two I mentioned are not at all like SuperSU...
I'm surprised Xposed per-app permissions could possibly work well without being "baked in" to the ROM? It sucks that Android doesn't come with something like PDroid built in from the start, running without something like that is like, I dunno, having un-protected sex with strangers (slightly less serious perhaps, but almost).

I bought my SIII about 6-8 months ago, coming from the SII.. the Devs and roms for the SII were good and plentiful .. I get the SIII and it seems like there isn't much support for it! I mean my SII shortly after giving it to my wife was updated to 4.1.2 WTF?? I surely thought by now my SIII would be 4.2.2! (Maybe even 4.3!!).. am I wrong for feeling this way? Is it Samsung I should cuss the F out? LoL! Now I have the "itch" to say screw it and start flashing again but nothing seems too promising as a DD

Samsung feels 4.1.2 is pretty much bug free. Now they are struggling to keep up with the booms in technology and software as well. New versions of Android are coming out quicker than Sammy's new phones. Why put out a 4.2.2 when 4.3 is out? So now they concentrate on getting out new phones with 4.3 on it and then they start working on updates to the dozens of existing models. 4.3 was announced as coming to the S3 BUT that will be the international first then US months later depending on carriers.
What is in 4.2.2 that you MUST have? There are 4.3 AOSP ROMs all over if you want that.

I too feel like the T-Mobile variant isn't getting enough love.... The international version gets it all!

There are various ways to flash other carriers roms to T-Mobile, the AT&T variant is almost (and in some cases) a direct port...
It doesn't seem like the newer versions of Android add too much more function than 4.1.2. As far as looks, their are plenty of ways to theme your phone to make it look like whatever you like

There are some awesome 4.3 roms there, what else do you need?

Stability would be nice.

Going to have to agree with this. 4.3 even on the best ROMs are alphas at best.
The only semi stable AOSP/CM ROMs are 4.2.2 and under.
And all AOSP/CM ROMs since have a weird bug with Instagram or third party apps and their front facing camera.

This^^
Since posting this thread I've used CM10.2 Nightlies and also ParanoidAndroid 3.99 RC2.. I can honestly say (and this is of course my own opinion and result) that CM has been a better experience. I use my phone a bunch for little things, internet, text messaging, FBing, Pictures, XDA, games, etc and haven't had any problems with CM.. Only reason I switched back from PA to CM was honestly only that Candy Crush wasn't compatible with PA (and I barely play CC anymore lol).. I've just lost my ability to use Triangle Away for some reason.. It was working on the CM10.2 09/07 nightly, flashed PA and didn't work. Then flashed back to CM but the 09/26 and still not working, flashed the new kernel and TA still gets stuck at Detecting Packages.. Wish someone would tell me why.. I've posted in like 5 different places and nobody responds

My biggest issues are surrounding bluetooth - I experience issues related to pops when switching songs - almost sounds like a non-flushed buffer, and sometimes major lag... almost like the app has crashed, but it doesn't... it comes back. This was on SlimBean 4.3...
I haen't tried CM or the others primarily because I reverted to 4.1.2 for stability.
My best bet on Triangle Away is to run it just before you boot into download mode... (that SHOULD work...) Samsung introduced stuff back when 4.0 came out where the triangle would get re-set whenever you'd boot into an altered recovery...
