Really? At the risk of sounding like a jerk.... How did you even find your way into the Q&A section without seeing tons of posts about "When will we get the ICS update?"
Just to let you know, once the OTA ICS update is released you will not be able to download it since you are not on the Verizon network. What you will need to do is S-OFF (or at least HTC Dev Unlock) your phone so that you can flash a custom rom. The best part about this is that you don't even have to wait for a custom rom to be released thanks to our awesome devs! You have tons of options for ICS, if you want stock Nitsuj17 just posted a leaked version of the update earlier today and he also has another sense ICS rom out, CondemnedSoul soul has a few nice options (AOKP and CM9 or if you want JellyBean he has the new version of AOKP as well,) Aerovan has an awesome CM9 and a CM10 rom, TazzPatriot has a sense ICS rom out too. There are others as well, those are just the ones that spring to mind.

Thanks

There is no real "stock" ICS ROM yet as it hasn't been released. The closest ROMs to stock ICS at the moment are:

The first link is the closest as it is from a test leak.

Just stay stock. If you are that much of a rookie to this, it just might make things worse at this point in time. Most don't have GSM working 100% from what I understand (GSM users can correct me on that).
But, if you haven't even rooted yet, you are still a bit away from being able to flash one of those bad boys. I say give it another week at least to see what these devs can do with the leaked rom.
It will probably be easier for you. If not, and you think you are ready to take the plunge, than good luck and enjoy!

Best JB ROM for TORO PLS?

I need to fix my friends Toro that he tried to load a junk version of JB. I'm looking for TWO answers here, most stable and working versions of stock JB AND AOSP JB...
THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ANY HELP!

There is no best ROM. Just try them all or just go stock. If you don't need customization and only want smooth and stable ROM, just stay stock. Nothing wrong with that.

There isn't stock JB for Toro or ToroPlus.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827986
this is the best rom i have tried. after flashing it i have no reason to flash anything else. completely stock aside from a reboot menu, sms split (which some people report it bugged but it works fine for me), and some optimizations. the thing is snappy, buttery smooth and absolutely rock-stable. not one reboot yet and everything just plain works. just be sure to format data/cache/system before flashing.
take it from a former crack-flasher: i haven't found a better rom for any device i've owned.

The best is the one everyone is using. And each person is using a different ROM
What does that tell you? They are all best!

Anyone Running AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.1 )Task650 (AT&T)?

If you are running this ROM on your SGH-T999 (T-Mobile SG3), could you please share how your were able to flash this ROM and if it's running alright?
Thanks!

Why not just nandroid backup, wipe, and flash? It won't hard brick your device. Most, if not all, att ROMs are flashable on d2tmo.
What's so special about that AOKP anyway? We have Rootbox, AOKP from Kasper, and Illusion here... Can it be that different?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Actually it can, Task is a huge coder and adds a lot of the patches to the gerrit so if you use his rom you get the best of things usually. He is really an impressive dev and test things before release very thoroughly. He also makes his own kernel for the rom! I flashed and loved his rom a many times. But Illusion/Rootbox from Ramsay is the business for me now.

I installed TWRP from the open recovery script in GooManager,wiped and tried flashing Task's ROM in recovery, but I got an error. I was reading last night I may have to flash an AT&T TWRP recovery to make this work properly. I was planning on flashing Rootbox and Illusion eventually to oompare. I decided to try out Task's ROM based on Mr. Highway (Archangel) recommendation as being one of the best ROM'S for the SG3 period.

Thanks for replying. Are the patches Task submits incorporated into the Illusion and Rootbox ROM'S?

Great ROM! Rookie mistake, I've got it flashed.

Just for the sake of future Users that want to cross-flash Task's ROM, can you share your noob mistake and how you got it running. Would help to prevent future threads, *hopefully*.

Sorry about that. I downloaded and flashed Task's ROM through GooManager. I should have explored that option prior to asking for help. I used open script TWRP recovery for TMO. I hope this will help out those looking to test this or other ROMs.

[Q] cm10.1 compatible with ktoonsez kernel??

hello guys,
I'm new to the XDA forums and a bit of a noob. I have a rogers S3 and I'm currently running the latest CM 10.1 nightly from today. I love cyanogenmod and really want to try out a custom kernel for a better combo. I'm having trouble finding clear info on custom kernels available and compatible with my device and rom. I was very interested in the KT747 kernel by ktoonsez because of all the governors, schedulers, oc and uv options, etc. I don't know if that is compatible with cm10.1 and if it is where I can find the right version....I tried searching the forums to no avail so decided to start a new thread. Somebody please help steer me in the right direction.

Im pretty sure I saw people on rogers and people on cm10 using it. You can go to his thread and just search for cm10 rogers. I'm sure you'll find some info unless someone who knows for sure can answer you.
Or try posting the question in his thread....if you haven't already

Thank you. Is there anyway you could post the link where I can get the kernel. I don't want to be one of those annoying people, but I really have no idea where to find the right version of kt747 that will be compatible and what version I even need. Thank in advance.

yep

I recommend using Tasks Underwear Kernel for CM.

I'm still a bit confused because when I go to that thread, there are 3 downloads available. AOSP version for ICS and JB 4.1, and there is a third one that says JB 4.2 but it doesn't specify whether or not it is touchwiz or AOSP. I'm running CM10,1 which is android 4.2.2, so I do I download the JB 4.2 file?? I'm sorry to be annoying I just don't want to screw up my phone so I want to be clear before I do it. Thank you in advance.

Yes, the 4.2 would be aosp. So far as I know there isn't a 4.2 version of touch wiz yet.

New to the club

So I am going to be leaving the HTC Sensation 4G, and considering the GS4 is going to be pretty much like the GS3 (and GS3 are getting GS4 updates) I went ahead and ordered mine just now! Should be shipping sometime this week!
So.. I was running CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.2 Jellybean Kang on my Sensation, I am currently browsing all the Roms available now, what do you all suggest which Rom would be awesome and why? I am all about Battery and Multitasking.

It really depends mate. Thing is if I had wanted vanilla android or aokp I would've bought the nexus device but I chose S3 because of all the extra TouchWiz features as well. I'm running latest version of MIUI and it works perfectly but I know sooner or later I'll go back to using stock based rom. I would suggest sticking with Sammy based roms from the likes of Omega roms and Android Revolution HD, especially if you want some of the features from the S4.
Also reason I suggest the 2 roms above is because they are constantly updated and have active support from the community.

Alright cool cool, would be nice if I had someone to help me root it also once I receive the phone.
edit looked up rooting methods they are MAD EASY WOW!

TW is overrated and looks like a ridiculous cartoon IMO, and all the S-whatever features are just gimmicks right now, though some people love it.
If you loved CM 10.1, its on our phones only official right now the nightlies are a little unstable since the upgrade to the 3.4 Linux kernel but they are working the bugs out. 10.1 M2 will be most stable. No learning curve that way
Battery life is unbelievable with Ktoonsez kernel. 3/14 version works with M2. Take a look at the thread, its got some good info on the governor, I/O scheduler, undervolt, and other settings.
And with our phones, the 2GB ram and fast CPU, its no problem for multitasking. I even ran my phone at 1.02Ghz and it still responded just fine with all sorts of stuff open.

I agree I dislike Touch Wiz I loved CyanogenMod since his G1 days lol, so I think I may take a look at that. Although This Smooth Liquid looks pretty interesting.

I like the PAC-Man ROM and using the Ktoonsez kernel he released today.

Look into sons of android ROM too. Insane battery life.

Once I get my device it's between PAC-Man or Liquid Smooth, if those two aren't good then CM or a stable MIUI (if there is one available for this phone)

So I always thought our devices had wireless charging capabilities but I see that you need a certain special back cover, etc. guess I am going to do that mod I found online lol

Otterbox always good. Look in accessory thread they review and suggest everything in one thread. I use twrp... And flash through Odin.. Easiest for me and convenient
Oh and I found it much easier to root at 4.0,4. Also you can Odin flash using root 66 which come prerooted

I started with CWM, but after switching to TWRP I wouldn't go back.
I used the Root66 method to root the phone - and have used it show a friend how to root their phone and used it to return to stock rooted and get the latest update. Never had an issue, I think it's pretty easy.
I used Wicked for a bit and might go back - I am just a noob and have to work out some issues I had in transferring things over first.
Not sure about screen protectors - mine had one on it when I bought it on eBay and it was so good I've just left it. I just have a $3 TPU and silicone bumper on it and a skin - protects from scratches at least. I've dropped it once or twice with no issue, too.

Is the Root66 method for T-Mobile? I only see three rooting methods and those are by MrRobinson, Chainfire, and mskip here http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/
edit: ok so I looked i think it's the MrRobinson one, but how do I know which T-Mobile image to grab from the selected?

also after that would you suggest doing
Third, alternate if unfamiliar with adb commands and uncomfortable using any command line
Decide if you want to use TWRP or CWM.
If you would like to install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery.
If you would like to install TeamWin Recovery Project then grab GooManager from the Play store and select the option to "Install OpenRecovery Script".

Congrats on your phone. I well suggest any of the 4.1.1 root66 because it's jb... I prefer ja baseband because it works better in my area.
And like what the quote said if you want twrp download goo if cwr rim manager. Lol honestly simply going to the recivery website will tell you how to download. So far your research is on point. You can try both recovery and see which you prefer. Twrp may not be pretty but it's sick and far more friendly and with more option
