Good-Bye GS3 - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Just wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone who helped me back in the day after my phone was stolen from work. A large group of you got together and helped me purchase the Galaxy SIII as a replacement phone. In return, I worked extremely hard to learn how to build ROMs and put out the first custom ROM for the T-Mobile Galaxy SIII with the help of some friends I made along the way. I am forever thankful to you guys.
I'd also like to take a moment to thank all the hard working dev's who continue to put out stellar ROMs for this phone. You have quenched my thirst and helped me feel like I still had a brand new phone as new phones came out.
As of today, I am the proud owner of the LG G2 and will be giving my wife my GS3 until she is due for an upgrade next year.
Perhaps you'll see a redruM ROM over there on the G2 side....who knows
Thank you all :highfive:

Good luck! I remember running your ROM when I first got my S3. It was so nice not having any bloat. Thank you!

Your work was greatly appreciated. Thank you sir!

Time to say Goodbye

Hey Guys,
Just a message to say I'm leaving and have ordered a new phone, I've been with you guys since early December I think, so much amazing work has been done to this phone and hopefully CM9 will be completed sooner than later, If your wondering (see what I did there ) I've just ordered a Galaxy Note while they were on offer before the note 2 comes out, got it on a 20.50 a month contract and hopefully it will be just as good or even better than the Wonder, Thank you all for the help and assistance and good luck with the future.
Thanks
Jamie

Coming from Sensation to SGS3

I don't think I ever been so anxious to get a phone as much as I am to get the Galaxy S3 later on this month. When I first laid my hands on it during the summer, I already knew I wanted it. I'm coming from the HTC Sensation, one of my favorite phones. Anything I should know about the Galaxy (I've done my research,know how to flash/root,etc.)?
That it's awesome, any more brain busters?

I just made the exact same transition. No firmware to match with ROM's, just have to match up the radio.
One of the biggest differences for me was just how thin the phone was compared to the sensation. It's tough to hold the Sensation now.
Just make sure to back up your IMEI number as soon as you get the phone and have fun there's a lot of stuff to flash here. Your in luck too, cyanogen him self owns this phone and is getting ready to release 4.2 jelly bean nightly soon.

I made this same change just a month ago and I love the s3. One of the biggest difference is changing radios is MUCH easier, no more going into the bootloader and flashing the radio, with the s3 they are called "modems" and you flash it just like you do with a rom. Bigger screen obviously, but also better sound and volume through the speaker. WAY faster in general use, even rooted and overclocked my sensation was still slower than my underclocked s3. There are just as many if not more custom rom's for the s3 and everybody makes accessories for it.
I'm getting the GS3...just waiting to find a good holiday deal on it

The Sensation was a great phone though. Ahead of it's time. I was sad when I sold mine.

as did i. but i did get pretty good resale value out of it, paid 250 and sold it for 200 after 9 or 10 months. was a really good phone but honestly, if you enjoyed your sensation you will LOVE the s3:good:

[Q] It feels good to be back!!

What's up XDA community! I went over to the fruit world and realized it was lonely. Just purchased my S3 and wow! I feel like....I feel like.....Well I think Madonna had a song that goes with what I'm trying to say.
Wow so much has changed and with that said I need some experienced help. Now get your mind out of the gutter...LOL ewww.. It appears that carriers are getting smart. From what I read so far there's a " Flash Counter" on phones now. I mean Android takes over and carriers get mad.
Now with that said I have an AT&T Unlocked S3. Yes I got mine in before Saturday. :good:
I haven't rooted in a while but AT&T sure knows how to put bloatware on their devices. I need to root and clear up this mess. So here's what I'm looking for and I need the best of the best of the best....SIR and Miss!
1) Which root process can I use? The phone called for an update to 4.1.1 on the S3. From what I read its the update released from AT&T back in December??? Well worse case I can always wipe my phone. So what Root process will work?
I don't really care about Flash Count
2) Security!! Security!! Security!! -
I don't want to load my phone with a bunch of apps that drain the battery but at the same time if I want security. A lot of apps I use will check the phone for root and will not work unless I un-root. Does Google have a direct website where I can download the Newest Jelly Bean software?
3) Themes-
I've seen a lot of Super Bad themes! *Drools* Ok I think I answered that question.. I see some in the threads here. (Disregard)
4)Battery Life-
The best Rom that includes a great option to help with battery life as I'm sure this is what most of us want..
So with that said.. if I can hear some ideas from the best of the best that will at least give me a starting point.
Thank you XDA- Samsung S3 Owner

if you have an AT&T Galaxy S III, it might be a better idea to go the AT&T GS3 forums
but congrats on your S3! i honestly don't understand how anyone could say the iPhone is better....unless of course they're brainwashed iSheep.

LOL! Thanks I just realized that after and noticed there are a few different versions of root based on carrier. If the Forum admin reads this can you move this to the AT&T threads.
I was a wee bit excited

Farewell T989 Community

While it's been a great year run, albeit with a few hiccups, it is time to retire my Hercules.
I can remember June 11th, 2013 as if it was yesterday. Waiting patiently for UPS to arrive (and eventually waiting until 10 pm, but that's another story). I received the package from HSN. It was my brand new T-Mobile Galaxy S II. After setting it up and then sleeping. I set off to root it! (No custom rom at this point.) I was surprised at all of the information I found here coming from the somewhat barren Optimus L9. I rooted it and immediately changed the DPI haha. Idk why now because that was the only time i ever changed it! About a month later however all the trouble started. The SIM card slot was broken (one of the pins) and I had to mail it in. So I did! Anxiously waiting for it to arrive again it made its way. I then re rooted and installed a custom rom... that night I was awakened by the sound of the phone rebooting over and over again endlessly.... the power button was suck.... I called Samsung (after trying the many fixes listed here) and sent it in..... it came back a week or so later... 2 days later.... same issue! So then I sent it back AGAIN talked to a manager..... they said theyd just give me a new one.... 2 weeks later it came back....... fixed but not new.... I slapped CM10.2 on it and was super happy. This would be the end of all the warranty issues finally! I then just flashed roms occasionally mainly from Hell Devs and enjoying my time in these threads. I almost crapped my pants when I had Kitkat for the first time . Here we are now though over a year later. Yes this device has caused me many headaches with its somewhat horrible battery life and somewhat odd FC's and RR's but this device is what made me love Android and know that by ditching my iPhone 4 I made the best decision ever! It is now time to say goodbye however. As I have just purchased my first current gen Android device. The Galaxy Note 3! I can't wait to see what lies ahead of me now with this great device and I hope to see many of you over there in the T-Mobile Note 3 Threads! I love you all and thanks so much for making my T989 what it is today, and for making me love android
ps - I messaged a mod about making this thread but never got a reply. I hope its "legal" to post this here, I really wanted to say goodbye and thank you I love you all!!!
I was there too. Have worked up the line through the phones and forums listed in my sig. Good times at each stop.
goodbye! take care!

Hello all! New tester and phone junkie.

Hello everyone. My name is Stephanie. I have a stock Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Tmo and a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 n8013. I have been rooting and playing with my phones since the old Palm days. Why I wanted my Palm to be and Apple I will never know. Yuck! Android junkie now! I worked for a year with Sprint as a phone technician. I am ASC certified by them. (What a joke.) I am going to root and I am looking for a good rom to try. It doesn't have to be stable. I don't mind being a beta tester and helping with development. Feel free to send me a message and say "hello." Have a great night or day, depending on your location.:highfive::highfive:

Give the Alliance ROM a try, if you like Android 5.x. That one and DomPop are the 2 best ones I've used and I'm reasonably new to the Note 3 myself. Have fun!
Thanks for the recommendation! I have been on my Note 3 for awhile now. If you have any questions feel free to hit me up. Have a great day! :laugh:
