Develop Bugs

Hello Peeps!

Im not new here because i have always looked around the forums when i had older phones. Now that I have a galaxy s 3 for tmobile, i felt the need to get on here and realize the true potential of this beast phone.Very interested in android developement and making this phone shine. Im ready for everyones input on whatever i have to say and will be all ears.

This phone shines out of the box. There is no need to worry about losing your imei anymore. So you can root and flash normally now. My opinion. Cm is losing its flavor. All the features of touch wiz are amazing and not really worth losing.

Glad to have you here. I'm running the euroskank nightlies. Got jelly bro indeed?
Cyanogen mod is not losing its swag. A lot of them including Cyanogen work for Samsung.
Miui team as well.
That's why touchwiz doesn't suck as much.
Still sucks though. Jk
Peace

Before doing anything you should backup your IMEI though.

I use to never flash anything besides cyanogen mod. Ever since the g1 days. I had the Htc one S and gave sense a chance for the first time and altho I never felt quite comfortable I found it pretty nice and less bloated than previous builds. I then upgraded to this beast (sgs3) and I absolutely love touchwiz. I don't see me flashing cm until most bugs are sorted out and if they add a better camera, and the touchwiz motion shortcuts which I find myself using more than I thought.
I don't see what people don't like about touchwiz. It's clean and simple which is what made me fall in love with cm. I'm sure cm probably is less bloated under the hood but I'm not ready to part with touchwiz. I'll wait for cm10 stable.

I think tw is nice as well it has a lot functionality, but I hate the colors they chose for it, I think if this phone had a theme choose like cm does it would be even better

CM is meant to provide a vanilla android experience... what do you expect.

Touchwiz is full of dark colors with blue. My favorite color. Maybe that's why I love it.

Who actually likes the stock ROM

Hey guys, new here, been lurking for a long time...
Just wondering, I've rooted but decided to keep stock ROM. I'd like to wait untill JB comes along before I try any other ROMS. I actually quite enjoy stock. Do most people prefer that, or do you guys try different ROMS the first chance you get? What do you think the ratio is here?

Samsung did a great job on Stock.. I'm sure the bait is those smart features. I miss them the most, and otherwise it's stable and its fast even without jellybean.

I love the stock based roms! I like trying all the flavors out there, but thus far these are my faves.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

The stock ROMs are great (those smart features are great). However, there is so.etching about the elegance of vanilla android that is so addictive. The jb ROMs are really fast and quite stable with great battery life.

I love the stock ROM. I'm playing with a cm10 nightly right now,and after about 5 hours of use I'm headed back to stock,lol. AOSP is great but TW has so many features & its 100% stable, so that makes it hard for anything not as stable to compete w/ it IMO.

I love stock

I love Stock because of the general stability it brings

I'm not gonna mess with ROMs since no rom is as stable as stock. I don't like touchwiz tho

I like stock for stability and smart features. That doesn't mean I'm using the garbage touchwiz interface though.

All the stock roms are the same....but they are more stable than all the others.

[Q] What is a solid stable ROM for a light user?

My GF now has the S3, and she's very light in terms of tech savy. I flashed a CM10 nightly build for her to start her phone out, but it's been hanging and lagging a bit from time to time, and that more than anything else bothers her.
Should i just put her back on stock, or is there a great option that isn't so cutting edge but will be sure to be bug free and solid and smooth for her?
The issue is it's not in my hands so i can't play around with it a lot to test and see, she'll just complain if it doesn't work perfect lol.

I'd say Ariel or Kyan rom for normal use and you can throw on KT747 ICS touchwiz kernel as well. I wouldn't do any of the JB based roms atm if you want pure stability.

I like Slim ROM but it really comes down to personal preference. Take a couple hours and flash a couple different ones. Does she want TW or pure Android. There are just so many choices...it might be an interesting experience getting her to participate in the testing since it is her phone.

Try out Tasks AOKP, it's really nice. I just switched to black jelly last night and I'm liking it so far, battery hasn't been great my first day, but it should get better.

+1 for Task/Ktoonsez AOKP JB ROM - its flawless!

+1 for kyan. All the jellybean roms are sweet but always had issues with video recording (very low audio). For a lite user I would say stick to ICS.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium

If she likes CM10, I suggest flashing the "M" versions as those are the monthly stable builds (latest one was around 15th of October). Anyways AOKP is good, it was released a week or so ago and I find it very stable and battery life is better than CM10 (in my own experience). Anyways just do whatever she likes. Most people recommend Kyan so do whatever she or you want.

Stock 4.0.4 works near perfect for me. It is under rated. I have disabled bloatware and added some tweaks but honestly, it rocks fine. Ultra reliable. I am a guy who spent over 1.5years tweaking with my legendary HD2...using custom kernels and cm roms, and never 100% happy...yet the S3 out of the box...kicks butt.

BlackJelly if you want JB. kyanRom if you want ICS.
To the guy who said BlackJelly was poor for battery life: I just went over 5 hrs of screen time with it. It's amazing.

Triune II rom best super stable with all features

Thinking of just upgrading her to stock JB now that's it's available. I would love to flash a rom but since she will only complain about problems, not really notice advantages, I lean towards keeping her stock. Unless there's a hands down choice that will be STABLE

Jedi Invasion is the best. Smooth, stable, and everything works.

If she doesn't care about newest upgrades leave it as is(just upgrade to newest stock) she won't care and you won't get hassled when stuff doesn't work, just my opinion, been there done that with my wifes phone.

[Q] 4.1 vs 4.2 Performance?

What's everyone's opinion on the performance difference between 4.1 and 4.2? So far my benchmark score are a little lower but the phone feels smoother. Of course I'm also drunk. Could be a factor.

Mine stutters a lot after the update, not sure what's causing it.

I don't see 4.2 as any faster, or slower than 4.1.

It was overall smooth from factory image. It's Android Jelly Bean, what do you expect? You can install it your self and find out.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I think that they are equally smooth on stock ROM and settings but 4.1.2 was a lot smoother with franco kernel and a custom ROM.

People seem to be saying that performance isn't so good if you do the OTA update but if you do a clean install, performance is improved over 4.2

I agree. My phone feels less smooth. I'm considering a "Factory Reset" which would, if i'm not mistaken clean up the OS.

GPS!!!!!!!!
hello, i must confess that i am reading these forums since i bought my first android phone (Desire HD) some years ago. however i have kept myself quiet and now feel it is time to chit chat around. I have a maguro (takju) nexus and i installed a 4.2 deodexed rom through CWM recovery present in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992969
the transition was smooth and everything was going well. It wasn't until i left home and due to a habit i turned on the GPS on it...and voilah...no GPS lock ..even after 5 mins. I restarted the phone hoping it would solve the issue but again no GPS lock. I am well aware that i am not the only one facing this problem so i was hoping some kind soul would guide me towards a fix for this issue? if there is one...

Stable fast ROM for wife

What ROM is the most stable and fast ROM she likes extra features and likes touchwiz. She says here phone feels slow and wants it to go faster. Any suggestions I know I could just go flash some roms and test them but she can't go with out her phone to long
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium

Feels slow? With 2GBs of RAM there should be literally no slowness whatsoever. I haven't experienced a single bit of lag or stuttering
on either of the stock images. Either her expectations are just too high, she's got a defective device or she's got too much going on. So far as I hear though the AOSP ROMs seem to be a bit faster than stock, but not by much.

I found BlackJelly to be great in those aspects it also has a dark theme so that can help with battery life. (;
I've switched over to AOKP which I also find stable, smoother (more so than Touchwiz), lots of customization, and nothing but android!
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

If she is keen on having TouchWiz, check out the threads over in android development. Inverted apps can also help improve her battery life. Lastly, custom kernels such as KT747 can aid in battery life and performance.

The phones not slow but the launcher lags big time even when installing nova or apex its weird it just started doing that. Everything else is fast

I'm just going to flash aokp and see if she likes it thanks for the replies
