Woah I just recently came back from CM10.1 Wild for the night April 17th build and flashed GB27 stock rooted full restore and I LOVE IT.
No other mods were applied I just used greenify, which is pretty amazing and you can get it here:

I was getting more than that on my E4GT without root/greenify. Maybe battery is going bad or still need to settle with a few cycles. But good you're loving it. :beer:
Some tips for more battery with your setup.
1. Lower brightness to 10 - 20%
2. Disable unnecessary sync or set to every 2 hrs. Or more.
3. Disable haptic feedback.
4. Backlight set to 30sec or 2min max.
5. If you have games disable in game notifications.
6. Greenify will take care of the rest.
And you will be golden.

Hey guys, Febby here, I come with a life changing story for free, you heard right, for FREE! Ever since me and my wives encounter GB27 not only has our s#& life increased but now we also managed to talked our neighbors into joining us. I can tell you how we managed to do this all by using GB27 for a one time payment of 49.99$ but wait don't worry, if you call mopar within the next 20 mins and use the promo code PantsOff, YOU'LL GET THE SECRET FOR 19.99! that's a 60% (rounded off) percent off original price so don't wait to long to make your life more fun!
Edit: edited because number Nazi can't cut some slack 5 mistyped for 6.
1)$20 out of $50 is actually 60% off not 50
2) go away -_-

I agree with the OP. In my opinion, Samsung did a good job with jelly bean for this phone. However ice cream sandwich IMHO was terrible to the point where the phone was almost unusable.
Some times I think that the E4GT can't handle jelly, bc my phone freezes way more often than it ever did on gingerbread.

I soft bricked over the weekend and sprint tech's said no go have to get a new phone however I new it still had a heart beat and hope. After alot of trial and error, and not knowing what I was doing but I fianlly restored it to life. Went from being rooted to being stock and other than the app tweaks i liked from Xposed settings. Everything seems to run better and smoother it is kind a like tasting an awkward yet intriguing foood you've never eaten. Thinkning about running stock for a few days and seeing if I can handle not being able to get into tablet mode.
Would like to get back to the same tech's that said no go and say an old man never giving up got it to work even though he is not sure how?
Besides I will probably get more done if I'm not always trying to keep up to date with the nightlies.

I wanted to stop reading after your first sentence. But I continued reading anyway.
First of all, they want you to buy a new phone. If you can see the splash screen it can almost always be recovered by flashing a full tar or one click. Don't ever listen to the morons Sprint hires.

Your going to fall in love with your phone all over again. :thumbup:
And your right, your phone should not add to what you already have on your plate, your phone just needs to come on when you need it and be able to use it without having to wipe, reboot, reinstall a modem or reflash anything.
That's what stock or stock/rooted can do for you.
I'm running Kobridge's gb27 st/rooted/deodexed rom and Tdunham's AIO mod. Stock but cool.!!!!

Bloatware and all it seems pretty zippy and I do like everything working like it was intended. I only miss tablet mode for email and Gmail other wise I've been pretty content. I do thnk they did a good job.
I feel like an outcast running stock.
Hello I'm a flash junkie running stock are you going to try and catch me running clean.....
I'm pretty happy with my S2. GB27 is very smooth and the battery life fluctuates, but I normally get a full day out of it. Everything is buttery smooth, even with Nova Launcher. Plus, I'm rooted and can delete all the bloatware.

I used my upgrade from my Nexus S 4g and decided to come over the the S2 on Sprint. I intend to play with this phone till my wife upgrade is in August which she will take the S2 in hopes that I will get the S3 by then.
Been reading up on these posts on here and I think I got it but wanted to make sure.
1. I need to Odin to get root with el29?
2. Never flash, wipe, reset data in ICS CWM?
3. Is it me or are there no Kernels like AirKernel for this phone?
4. I plan to go with CNA as I had on my Nexus. Love that rom anything you would like to share about this rom?
Any advice on the questions would be great and to be honest I really only post here and there but I'm always on here. Been here since the release of the Evo 4G.
Thanks.
Thanks and it awesome to be a part of the S2 community. WOW.
Really feels welcome here......
You're sure to get help now, getting all pissy that someone didn't help you at 5:30 on a Sunday morning. Good luck

Wow, congrats to the E4GT community. You just enrolled another winner to the team.
How come no one rolled out the red carpet within the first few hours of this thread?
Glad I moved onto another phone, you guys really suck here
OP, you should get a GN. After my first post there, I was sent a 4 course meal from my favorite restaurant.
xda same as always...
Stoked to be here though.
Sort of asking for help, those are things that I've read up on. Just kind of a ice breaker more then anything.
Welcome to the party and congrats on the new phone.
The only question I can answer is #1, which is yes, to get an easy start just Odin sfhub's one-click EL29 for root, then read, read, read in the development section for all the goodies available.
Happy flashing and remember, if you brick your phone it's all on you.
1. I rooted just fine without Odin.
2. Yes it's also recommended you do that with most roms overall to avoid technical difficulties later on.
3. Idk what airkernel is, but there seems to be a limited choice if kernels for ginger.
4. CNA? Don't think I've seen a ROM called that around here but what do I know? I'm just a newbie...

You just have to have thicker skin over here, people may seem a little harsh at times (me included) but at the core of their comments you typically find the truth you needed. If you read around enough you'll see there are a lot of good people in this community. I'd suggest you start with the thread below to see what I mean.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572184
Most important of all, just follow the #1 rule of thumb for the internet, don't take things personally and you'll be just fine.
Oh, also, don't expect anyone here to a)kiss your butt (well maybe iSaint j/k lol), b)hold your hand or c)pat you on your wee little noggin when you f*ck up because you didn't read and ended up bricking your phone. That is all.
Everybody moved to the Evo One. This place is a ghost town now.

Coming from a Evo then a Nexus S 4G I can't believe the trouble ones has to go through flashing roms that are ICS.
Odin is easy so that is nice but still. Seems like a lot of effort.
This phone is sweet. I just got to wait till I actually have time from work, kids and family so I can sit down and root this think and flash away.
Excited.
I can honestly say if it weren't for Odin and sfhub's one-click goodies I would probably still just be an observer on this forum. But he made it easy and then I learned to flash recovery and in doing so was able to start flashing Calkulin's custom ROMs. Although that's as far as I've gotten for now it's a long way from where I began and I'm excited for what's around the corner.

Once the source is released and official ota's are out im sure all the kinks will be ironed out. Development for ICS is still early for this phone. Using Odin isnt that bad, you can still flash a rom in about five minutes.

It may seem a bit overwhelming at first but it really is incredibly easy. Just make sure your CWM is stock (just flash CM7 or GB Miui), and then you should have no issues flashing ICS.

Hey guys, I got a Nexus a few months ago and passed the Epic to the g/f (which I regret). Anyway, I have AOKP 35.1 on it and she is having issues. Maybe I forgot some Epic flashing routes.
The phone has EI22 baseband and I am looking to find the best g/f friendly rom (one where I can flash for her and have zero problems).
What do you think is the safest set up?
*Its been a while since I flashed on the Epic. I am on EI22 and I see EL30 is the newest build for GB. Do I need to use odin to get that, or can I just flash on top of EI22?
**I see FC09, is that the newest official?
Try cm7 or the peoples rom. The peoples is TW based it really is a matter of taste. I have my wife on CM7 which she loves she hates TW.

She prefers TW, and I was thinking the Peoples Rom. Where i get lost is all of the MTD, BML stuff. I dont remember having all of those options before.
What is the process to go to the Peoples from where I am? AOKP with EI22... I think EXT4 (is there a way to check?)

If you're on aokp you are on mtd... fc09 is the newest ota release... if she likes tw then clean gb el30 (she will be bugged by update message) or the peoples rom 2.2 (fc09) would be the best way to go...
Backup with Titanium Backup, download The People's ROM v2.2 MTD, wipe data, cache and Dalvik. Flash, choose to use or not use the Sprint Connections Optimizer, sign in to her Google account to sync contacts, restore her third party apps and only data she absolutely has to have...like Angry Birds high score or something...lol.

So far all issues were resolved with clean installs, V 6 Supercharger or turning off the Optimizer because of bad 4G due to Sprint. 3000 downloads strong, seems pretty solid to me but I may be biased.

She just gets nasty over some stupid crap sometimes. Plus, she travels a lot so I don't get much chance to work on the phone. Anyway, that was a year ago.
My lady likes to run whatever I am on. I find this useful for troubleshooting. If I can't recreate an issue on both, it's not a real issue. I made her sit on stock unrooted for a few days last month when she got a replacement phone from dropping it, and she couldn't wait to get back on an ICS rom. She made it through the random reboots on gb leaks, so anything out these days is easy for her to handle. It really depends on the individual. My techy ways have rubbed off on her over the years lol. She is smart enough to use her ipod (i know...) on wifi with a free messaging app to ask for help in the few situations that confuse her. She's a looker, does laundry, is a great mother, works, and cooks extremely well too! Needless to say we are getting married this July. I'm not sure exactly why I waited 14 years to ask her when I say it like that lol.

I cant agree with this strongly enough, though I may not have gone as far as saying no root.
Just remember, ANYTHING that goes wrong will be your fault, even if it has nothing to do with the phone itself (ie: tower down for upgrade, facebook update breaks the app, etc)
been on it since day 1 both are released cause everyone told me they are the best. when i'm playing games or music, it lags. i click the power screen on button and it stays black until i click it like 5x and wait 30 seconds. battery life is terrible, i get like 3 hours under constant screen on usage which is ridic because i can't even leave the house without it dying
need a new combo
you suck. AOKP and Franco are the best....along with CM team
I just jumped back on AOKP + Franco after trying a ton of different combo's (CM9, Liquid, MIUI, Stock | Leankernel, GladOs, Faux) and this is by far the smoothest + most customize able setup you can have. Try backing everything up and doing a clean restore.
rascream rom + trinity kernel.. cant go wrong with this combo.
Try Slim ICS which comes with Lean Kernel. Just change the launcher if you don't like zeam.
Paranoid Android is a good rom also fn to play around with the dpi settings.
Personally I haven't had the troubles you had with AOKP and Franco. They run fine, I just get bored with roms after a few weeks. Perhaps your problems stem from apps you have installed. Have you tried running CPU spy or better battery stats to see what might be causing your troubles?
If it sucks so bad, make your own

Eh, it's just a trolly kind of day on XDA today.
I just got my GN the other night and first thing I did was put on the AOKP/Franco combination and I really like it. I was a very heavy user on my first day yesterday setting the phone up and all, plus it was the first full day after a nights charge.
I got home after work and I had 30% left after 13 hours. That makes me a happy camper. It can only get better from there as I slow down my usage.

Doesn't look like you have anything positive to say either...... so "Gtfo trolls" would kinda be directed towards you as well.
Slim ICS has been REEALLY good for me, but then again every phone is different. I like Slim, Gummy, and Android Revolution HD. Give one of those a try.
Another thing you might want to check is which profile you have under setcpu or in the ROM options. If you have it set to hotplug (where one core is shut down when the phone goes to sleep) then that could cause the "wake up" issue.

Also, OP, I am not fond of Liquid but have heard of a lot of great things about it.
I've had AOKP MS5 & Franco's MS3 for the past couple weeks and I get 3 and a half hours+ screen on time and 24 hours on one charge. Not sure what you're problem is but that combo for me has been the best. Just updated to AOKP 37 btw.

you have anything else useless to say ? is that how you got 4000+ posts ?
wouldn't that make you an idiotic moron for insulting me when i haven't said a word to you ? or perhaps I should just shut up since arguing with stupid redneck is pointless.

I rooted and installed custom roms just for multi Window bit decided to unroot when the ota AT&T update for multi window came out... since then I noticed a decent amount of batt decrease and a slighr lag here and there... considering going back to cleanrom... also noticed that pulling a app over from multiwindow bar sometimes only allows full screen not half.... please someone talk me out of it... I do like stock for ease of updates etc...

One of the best thing about custom roms is that you get all the goodies before the updates that sometimes come months later if at all.For me,when I flash a custom rom on my android device it finally becomes mine.Until then you are literally AT&T/Verizon's etc,etc,etc *****.With all that useless crap on your phone that is forced on you without a choice.I personally like to have full control over what is on my device especially because now a days these "toys" cost as much as my laptop.Again,my personal preference.If anything I would try to talk you into re-rooting.LOL
p.s I am running cleanRom and it is absolutely the bees knees.

Amen. The battery life, at least in my experience, is unquestionably superior on Jedi vs stock, and i fought hardddd to stay stock like constantly diagnosing wake locks and battery usage.
Or you can flash a different kernel

Well...duh...did you honestly expect something better than what you had ? Did you suddenly expect a pushed update from AT&T to offer you a better experiance than those 3 custom roms ? Ease of updates...? I don't get it...Are you actually trying to say relying on a OTA update is easier than actually flashing a new update yourself ? Are you saying waiting and waiting and hoping you get a good ota download and it flashes properly for you..is better than being able to flash and being able to reflash if you actually need it ?
Sorry if I sound rude...but come on...get real would you...You knew the benifits going in and why you rooted it and flashed them..and now you want folks to paint a all rosey picture that a full blown unrooted phone is better than a rooted one running those 3 custom roms...Sorry...it ain't going to happen unless it is coming from someone who didn't install something correctly..or just perfers the bloat and limitations of a stock phone..
If you want & like the stock feel and look...flash Scott's AT&T special edition of his Clean rom..It's debloated..and he has linked to some theming for it..
If you want to go way beyond..wait for Truth's new one out later today or tommorrow..It's fully themed..debloated..has all the latest & greatest available..is fast..and everything works on it..What more could you want...
Personally...I won't ever run a stock phone on purpose after the allowable return time for it..Triangle away has removed the worry of returning it for service..and TWRP has made flashing anything a non issue as well..
It's your phone..run it the way you want to..and be happy..but please don't ask on a developers forum to be convinced to stay on a stock rom..that is just plain lame...IMHO

I know exactly what you mean and I did feel the same way. Samsung has done an amazing job with this phone. However I have used Jedi, miscoms international roms, cleanrom, now on cleanatt. I have found with a on a custom kernel either persus or the aslyum/note2core. As long as I undervolted and didn't over clock my battery life was a lot better than stock and phone was much quicker and responsive over stock and still had all the great features. We have some awesome devs here for roms and kernels. To me is a very hard choice on what rom to stay on as well as kernel. They are all amazing in there own ways and in my opinion all awesome. I hope no devs flame me I'm just saying they are all very intelligent people at this and I see great things in all there work. AS FOR NOW. I'm on Scotts dedicated at&T. I have took around 40 user and system apps that "I" consider bloat and running persus kernel with the profile zip of 2 offered. My battery life is insane. All day of heavy use and still about 70perecnt left after 8 hours or so. Hope I may have helped you or someone else. I love open source

I have been over clocked to 1800 and above on Jedi and pulled over 2 days off charger with over 8 hours screen time. If you want to stick with stock look, Clean Special build and definitely a kernel. They pull the debugging crap out, optimize voltages, etc. Kernel devs have been working magic...and finding bugs that Sammy, HTC, missed
Edit...patiently waiting for that Blackout later today.

Well...if you want to stay stock...you could try disabling various stock apps that you don't need via settings:app mgr...it's hard to hurt anything and you can always re-able them.
other than that
I think updates are "cleanrom" are pretty easy. Named "clean..." for a reason and I feel like it's stock with added benefits. Have fun deciding.

Custom rom always. I ran my Note 2 stocked for 2 days and could not stand it. I had to because I was out of town for those 2 days. I suggest you load the Jelly Thunder Blackout 3.0 ROM asap. You'll love it.
I bought a second one white this time just got this reason. One to root to death and one totally stock. Just got the ota on the stock one and already miss tapatalk in the multi window. Once the allshare bug gets fixed universally (built into ROM) I think they both will be rooted

Jelly thunder is where its at the dark theme is everywhere
The reason it goes full screen on some apps is because not all apps work with half screen. Not stock anyway.

Well u did not follow complete instructions on installing the rom. You will be running into problems if u don't fix asap.
Hey I was looking to see if there's a stock themed rom with all the stock features but custom modifications to make it have much better performance? Like with an even higher benchmark than real stock. I've found one but it had horrible performance on my phone... Not just benchmark related performance.. But anyone know a really good one? Sonics version hated my phone.. Clean flash every time

I was looking at it but it's not very stock themed.. What are the quadrant benchmarks like?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I used Wicked Sensation previously. The battery life is excellent and it's fairly fast although I never did an actual benchmark test. I had the anaconda theme on top of it and I thought it looked nice. I prefer minimal themeing but if you don't like any of the blue ones I would go with this.

Well the only one from him on the s3, is well just stock rooted basically.. Im already on that. Im looking for a stock looking (as in the theme of the app icons is normal and status bar and toggle bar etc all stock looking) but with optimizations
Try seeder app, it might help
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
Oh I misunderstood Lol. Well you could run an aokp/asop ROM with the gs3 launcher and touchwiz theme that has all of the icons if not very similar

Give The People's Rom a shot.. and can use Morphology with it if you choose to make some changes. Battery life is outstanding (most users will agree) plenty of performance options, 4 Kernel choices, (sure more to come) you'll enjoy it or your money back
Seriously tho.. Check them out.. :
Original The Peoples Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013463 ---- This uses Aroma.. (pick and choose installer)
Xtra Crispy, The Peoples Rom Fat Ass Cartman Edition (everything included, all apps, and what not): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086302 ---- This is straight CWM Flash, all or nothing.
What about FreeGS3? Seems like that and People's ROM are the two big players in this forum???

I just got my S3 yesterday and immediately rooted when I got it home. Maybe I will try the people's ROM to compare.

Go for it.. You may find you like it.. Once you flash, head over to Morphology thread.. can make it purty that way :laugh:
I think I will, at least to compare. Morphology works on both ROMs, so that's cool. I think so many of these threads get shut down, and it's a shame. For me, I'd like to see some comparisons of the different ROMs. Pros/Cons, maybe a poll on what ROM reigns supreme at this point in time, etc.
I realized FreeGS3 has, by far, the most activity in the thread. However, it's been open since July. People's doesn't have that many but it's only been opened since November. It makes it challenging when trying to actually compare and see which ROMs are actually the most popular overall.

People's thread is really active lol.. and changes flow constantly.
Best thing to do is test drive each and see how you personally like them. Opinions vary so everyone experience is different.
Thanks! Either way, I hope I will like it more than my Evo LTE. That's what I am coming from.

I also came from the evo lte about 2 months ago. So far this has been a better phone for me. After having a galaxy vibrant, I swore to never own another Samsung phone. I was definitely an HTC fan for over 2 years but was the evo lte was a disappointment to me. I think you're going to be happy with the s3.

Thanks. I hope so. Just trying to figure out the ROMs for the S3 and then will go from there. Just loaded people's. I don't like the stock theme, but I'm going to play with it for a few before going back to FreeGS3 or something else.
