how best to upgrade

Hi all, I've been reading this (massive) thread pretty much from day one :angel: (got S3 on UK launch day), and I have a question that I don't think has been asked in detail before.

Often, when updating, it is suggested that we wipe the device in the process - this makes sense to me.

Despite this, every update I've done on my S3 (UK Three) (currently on DLJ4) I've never wiped anything - even when jumping from ICS to JB.

I've seen Titanium backup mentioned a few times, and it seems it would do the job (although the quirky UI and UX could do with some work).

So, my questions are:

Q1 - Hopping from ROM to ROM seems easy, but on a practical level, do you more seasoned firmware hoppers always/often: backup / wipe / update / recover from backup ?

Q2 - Does a full Titanium-backup really backup

everything

of importance (sms, contacts, call logs, emails, APN, Wifi settings, apps + app data, application organisation, homescreen icons & widgets) - or should we rely on other tools too?

Q3 - If not Titanium Backup, then what other additional/alternative tools do/could you use?

Q4 - After the wipe & update, the phone would presumably be completely reset, so do you recover what's necessary through the backup tool of choice (installed from SD card?), or do you re-assign the google account, and settings again, download Titanium backup and then recover just apps Titanium...

Q5 - If Titanium backup truly saves everything (settings included), then are we not countering the wiping process, or is there "stuff" that doesn't get backed up and isn't necessary?

My S3 is unlocked, rooted, on DLJ4 & fully loaded with apps (all from the play store) - but I've been experiencing a few crashes/issues (crashed once when opening an email; crashed updating apps; can cut, but can't paste) over the last 2 weeks which made me think I should maybe do a wipe.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Hey man..good questions there. . Probably stuff most guys are thinking..

I'll answer as best I can

1. Generally speaking, I do a nandroid backup in case flashing goes wrong I can restore to previous known good state.

I wipe everything (factory reset) when changing bases, but when trying newer versions I don't unless it's not smooth afterwards.

2. & 3. I use Titanium Backup only for backing up apps and app data. Other stuff like system apps and settings should never be restored as you'll overwrite the system files of the new rom u flashed.

If u need to back up contacts, sms, call logs etc use "my backup pro". It's great.

Just remember to transfer the titanium and rerware (my backup pro) folders off ur internal sd before wiping. U need to transfer them back later before restoring.

4. I set the phone up from scratch, log onto Google account, sync contacts, log onto wifi etc.

Then download Titanium and restore apps. If some apps encounter issues later, wiping data for that app in applications should suffice.

5. Answered in 4 above, don't use Titanium for everything. Although it is capable, it's defeating the purpose of wiping.

If I were u I would back up my internal sd, factory reset, do as I mentioned above and only put back ur photos, music etc. Titanium will do the apps, my backup pro will do sms, calls etc.

Hope this helps. ;)

Hi guys

I have another question,

Download from the play store.

@Lui-g

@KennyLegend

For backing up sms/call logs/wallpaper you can use the Samsung account (advantage: auto backup)

For apps/ apps data backing up you can use SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT (advantage: do not use sdcard memory, its storage on pc)

Hi!

I'm from Italy and the last genetic Italian rom is XXDLJ4.

I'm wondering if this last XXDLJ5 posted in first page has so much improvements that meant to install it....but what about country download?? Should I change CSC to fix Play store downloads??

Will my phone end up with a complete Italian device like stock Italian roms??

Ps: I think Italian CSC is ITV...correct me if I'm wrong .

Thank you.

I've had different battery life so far. The best was leaked DLI7, DLJ2 and UK DLJ4. The current Indian rom sucks battery life like crazy for me and I had slow charging issues too. So i flashed back to DLJ4.

BTW, people having issues with FCs of a particular app (or any kind of problem) should go to settings > application manager > find that specific app then clear data and cache of that app. I've done that a few times now and it solved my FC issues. That is what you will need to do from if you don't clean wipe, it still saves a lot of time for me.

:D
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Flash the Italian LJ4. No real difference in LJ5 Indian version. You will then have stock rom meant for Italy.

Csc doesn't matter too much unless u want OTA updates (which I don't personally like). Playstore should be fine on either csc that comes with the Italian rom.

Now.... go flash!

I've read same thing on polish forums. Wonder if someone else here faced this issue.
[Galaxy S III General] acidemic:
Problem...

I am on the XXDLJ5 (India), but I had the same problem on XXDLJ4 (UK). When somebody calls me on the phone, it for several seconds (3 or 5) shows the picture of the previous contact who called me (or whom I called) before... for example... when my colleague from the office calls me in the, the phone shows me the picture of my girlfriend and only when I pick up the phone and start to speak I realize that actually it's not my girlfriend but my colleague... Once I got into very embarassing situation because of that.

If I let phone to ring for longer, the wrong image disappears and shows the correct one.

Did anybody face the same problem?
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Did u wipe after flashing lj5?

[Galaxy S III General] istoner:
Yeah I face the same problem, also faced in LJ4. This is a clean install, wiped everything when flashing via MobileOdin.
[Galaxy S III General] acidemic:
Nope... because I didn't want to loose my "Bad Piggies" progress :)))
[Galaxy S III General] sids911:
Yup, its a generic bug I faced in the UK as well as India version. I am sure its because of delay between correlation of the number and the phonebook. Ideally it should not show anything (not even previous contact's photo) till it completes correlation.

I am getting sick and tired of Samsung's touchwiz now. Nexus 4 - here I come!

I hope this will be fixed in 4.1.2 in December as this bug drives me mad more than anything else.

it depends if the ROM is custom or stock official with stock recovery and that or a custom ROM with rooted kernel I used mobile Odin and cleared the recovery partition so I still had a custom recovery and it was OK for me do some research into the ROM you are flashing if its a rooted ROM or not mate ...but a factory reset just gets rid of apps and data :D

Hey! I got the SGS3 from 3 UK but I flashed a custom jb rom (xxdlj4) because I was getting impatient. I'm just wanting to revert back to the stock rom now. Im not finding this rom as smooth as ICS and lag really annoys me, but I also wanna be able to update OTA. Does anyone know how to change the SGS3 CSC?

then a factory reset from settings will sort it. Just back up ur photos, music etc first cause bit will wipe ur phone.

[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Okay, I come from the BTU ROM DLJ4. I wiped cache only before flashing this ROM. Here are my impressions of the latest Hong Kong/Taiwan DLK2 ROM:

1)

Gallery

: The black notification area is gone. Full screen pictures are back!

2)

Input and Languages

: There is an additional Samsung Chinese IME keyboard. You cannot de-select it.

3)

Multi-tasking

: Multi-tasking with games is still broken.

4)

Phone and Contact Apps

: Yes, the lag is still present.

5)

Widgets Drawer

: Yes, the lag is still present.

6)

Widgets and Drawer

: Some of the widgets now have a Chinese language written on them ("turn of all sounds", "smart switch", "assistive light", etc.). When you drag them to the home-screen, they change to English (or whatever language you have set).

7)

RAM

: RAM available is now 778MB again.

8)

Lockscreen Shortcuts

: It takes a few milliseconds less to start the lockscreen apps. Or is it just me?

9)

Clock

: Is there a new "Desk Clock" tab in this build or am I noticing it for the first time? Forgive me if it is present in a previous build! I've never seen it.

10)

Smoothness

: I don't feel a difference between this build and BTU DLJ4. They're both pretty smooth.

11)

Launcher

: Sometimes, when I exit an app, the shadows of my icons redraw themselves in Touchwiz (both the home screen and app drawer). Very annoying.

12)

Font

: All new stock fonts- Kaiti and ShaoNV. The others aren't available any more.

That's all. So far, nothing else seems to have been changed. If I find something else, I'll notify you guys!
[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
Yes, it has all the eastern and middle-eastern languages plus Chinese, including Chinese input methods (several Chinese variations)
[Galaxy S III General] j0sefuz:
