Okay, here's the review with a full wipe:

Negatives

1) Multitasking is completely broken. (I tried to run 2/3 games at the same time but as soon as you switch back to the first game, it has closed). ALSO, switching between applications (when there are many) takes a long time!

2) Some parts of the ROM are not in English (despite English being selected as the main language). For example, connect your USB to your phone and the USB dialog is not in English. You may not find it annoying. I do.

3) Sometimes, notifications stay expanded even if you collapse them. I took a screenshot and was downloading apps at the same time. The notification for the screenshot kept expanding by itself even when I collapsed it. This behavior is mostly random (it's working correctly now...)

4) There is a Telenor app present by default (not really needed). Yeah, yeah. I know, it's a Swedish ROM.

5) The phone is heating up a lot when playing games

6) Overall, the ROM doesn't seem all that smooth. You'll definitely see it lagging a tiny bit here and there when a couple of applications are open. Proof enough that Samsung have ruined Project Butter in most places.

7) No multi-view support in this ROM.

8) The video player doesn't have its own brightness settings.

9) The Gallery is the same as ICS. No Note 2 gallery. Yeah, we probably won't get it.

10) The status bar is still grey (it doesn't bother me but I know most of you hate it)

11) The widgets' drawer still lags on its initial load (meh, doesn't bother me now).

Positives

1) The micro-lags and jitters in the games (present in the Polish JB version) are gone.

2) Wifi signal strength is stronger than ICS

3) Contacts takes half a second less than ICS to open (still kinda slow). Project Butter really shows here when you scroll down the list.

4) You can immediately scroll after opening a list (such as Contacts and Music Player).

5) Google Now works perfectly.

6) There's a new LED indicator setting for "Voice Recording" that wasn't present in ICS.

7) Menu opens up twice as fast as on ICS.

Well, that's my initial impression. Will get back with more once I find stuff. It seems better than the Polish version.
[Galaxy S III General] rohitbaba:
thanks mate, i think i will just wait for offical UK Jelly bean, its so messed up that country like UK is left behind in update. WTF.

thanks again.

[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
You're quite welcome! :) I'd recommend waiting for the UK version, too.
[Galaxy S III General] mossy1963:
Yes, agree, if this release is for your country get on and flash it, if not and already on the polish jb (like me) no point flashing another region specific release...your own is imminent.
[Galaxy S III General] AbuYahya:
imminent is probably a couple weeks

yet it is likely that nearly all the customised ROMs will be using this as their base by next week
[Galaxy S III General] wiiscientist:
I am no expert but I managed to flash Polish released onto my S3, I haven't rooted it just installed the rom through these instructions.

What would be the point of even installing a UK release?

One thing I noticed even though I installed the Polish JB Rom the carrier specific apps that were there when I took it out of the box ( Vodafone bloatware) is still there?

Should this not have gone when I flashed the Polish ROM, or did it just do an upgrade?
[Galaxy S III General] mossy1963:
Could be months (unlikely though).

The point however, is that there is little point flashing every region specific release of jb as they trickle out. I'm running the polish one, and that will do fine until the official UK one is released
[Galaxy S III General] AbuYahya:
regionality is not the only difference often there are small changes in system that can not be visually appreciated. especially battery, modem, wifi, etc
[Galaxy S III General] Skander1998:
They don't update countries 'because a country like x is left behind'.

They gradually roll them out one by one, no order it seems.
[Galaxy S III General] hero000:
Guys those who have flashed this release and found bugs please report it to JB discussion so they should add it too. It will stop repeating the same questions.

OTA update - where is it saved?

I am also trying to update my rooted stock i9300 using Mobile Odin Pro to the latest 4.1.1, but I have no clue where the phone saves the .zip. Any ideas where I could dig it up? I have had the phone download (and postpone) the update, but I cannot locate the .zip anywhere to start the update manually....

Or is the i9300XXDLIH OTA available somewhere (I don't want to flash my device with the entire firmware).
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
Its in /cache
[Galaxy S III General] mossy1963:
Jeez I know, I'm not thick. I'm saying I'm already running a variant of jellybean and see no point flashing every version of 4.1.1 until the official one for my region comes out...blimey, wish I'd never said anything now...please....please...leave it there...I have a headache.
[Galaxy S III General] chwads2k8:
lol uk will b same samsung after years they aint learned
[Galaxy S III General] minSSM:
That explains why I didn't find it.

Is there anyway I can have Mobile Odin point to stuff outside of /mnt (e.g., access /)? Else I guess I would need to cp that .zip from /cache to somewhere in /mnt - is there any way to do that _other_ than installing something like that ES filemanager?
[Galaxy S III General] sids911:
How is the Battery Holding up?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
I started off with 80% battery around 4 hours ago. Now, the battery is at 37%. Details:

1) 3G/data connection is OFF

2) Wifi has been on almost all the time and downloading for at least 1 hour

3) I used a live wallpaper for almost 1.5 hours.

4) I played a few games for 5 minutes, max.

5) I had maximum brightness most of the time.

Overall, I reckon the battery life seems good for the first charge. :)

Just flash on CWM. And if you want it even more perfect, use a custom kernel.

Statusbar is grey because of the burn in AMOLED "problem" at least its what Erika said in an XDA TV Video.

Why is the status bar black on the i9305 if this is true. Be interesting to see what comes when the true roll out begins.

Black status bar, just install on CWM.

Grey status bar is normal, Samsung set it this way. Not a screen problem. The new SystemUI "fixes" it, making status bar pure black.
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
I like it more in grey color then in black...
[Galaxy S III General] insomnia:
so is this newer than the polish, confirmed via change list?

[Galaxy S III General] Nikhil'Da Devil:
Never happened in ddli8 I have found it best for everyday usage till now compared to both the stock versions.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Sorry, but that's silly.

1) Everything is fine here, you are just out of luck. But maybe, your games are shutting due to a small free RAM. It can get easily full, so the solution is to delete some apks and apps.

2) Reboot. First boot is always like that, because CSC sets default language first, so it may have some stuff not updated.

3) Not here, completely fine.

4) No coments on that one. Too lazy to delete the apk?

5) Well, it will heat up if you use the phone, don't you think? If you want the phone to cool down you can always put liquid nitrogen, or don't use the phone...

6) Seems a lot more smooth then ICS, a lot more smooth then CM10, and honestly, the little lags doesn't bother me. It's very little.

7) So what? Is that really a negative? Buy the Galaxy Note 2 then, if you want it.

8) So what? You can pull down status bar even if you are watching a video in full screen and set brightness.

9) So what? Get it and replace.

10) Change it. I posted here a new apk to make status bar black again.

11) No coments. But just a little one: after you boot system and lock screen appears, do you feel the need to use immediatly your phone? If it's like that, maybe you could add a new negative: boot takes annoying 10 seconds!! Please Samsung, make it 1 second!!
[Galaxy S III General] Pretzel Kleo:
1) Working for me! I had 3 games and 2 apps running in background, no problem with that, none of them close :3

2) I got everything on Spanish... do what the other guy said.

3) No problem with that here!

4) Ya, it is there but as I said before and you know... you can remove it in a minute.

5) Not here, it is fine for me.

6) Indeed, sometimes it is a lil bit lagged but just a lil bit for me and rarely.

7) Let's keep waiting and hoping... maybe?

8) As marcellocord said...

9) Let's keep waiting too bro.

10) Grey? It's a very very very dark grey for me, almost black, no problem with that either.

11) I did not see the lagg yet but... anyway I don't care either.
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
If I lived in Poland or Sweden I'd be feeling a bit insulted right now because they basically just getting Beta versions disguised as official releases so they can get the English language version right.

This ROM is working perfectly for me, I did wipe, then flash it with odin. CSC is showing correctly now. Loving it so far.

[Galaxy S III General] insomnia:
Root needed ?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
I'm sorry but your reply was really distasteful. I was being quite helpful to those others who haven't flashed the ROM. I did not exaggerate or over-state any problem. I simply REVIEWED what I observed. You'll notice my use of the word "review" at the top. Neither did I state that it was an awful ROM nor did I complain about how Samsung are robbing us of everything we desire (did I state that Samsung SHOULD have included this? No! Get off your high horse).

Your reply had a lot of "so what" in it. Look, mate, I'm simply telling those people who haven't flashed the ROM what to expect. I'm trying to include every tiny detail that I can find so that if someone is on the brink of flashing/not flashing, they can decide whether it's worth their time and effort to download the ROM, flash it, make backups, and restore everything.

If my phone heats up (and it didn't before), I'm going to tell people about it. Your retarded comment about pouring liquid nitrogen was just as thick as you. My games ARE shutting down. I am testing the exact same applications and games on stock ICS and stock JB to give a fair and honest comparison. If you don't know how to multitask, then GTFO.

"the little lags doesn't bother me. It's very little" Well, mate, they EXIST! I am informing people that they EXIST. You're just making this really idiotic. Then, you tell me to go and buy a Galaxy Note 2. Well, that's my decision. I'm sorry but screw you. Oh, and the last comment about complaining about the 1 second boot time... Wow, mate. You're at a whole new special level, aren't you?

I really don't like being negative here on these forums but you're just asking for it. You really are. I'm honestly trying to give my own experience about how I felt. I'm trying to be helpful. You are one distasteful person. Good day to you.
[Galaxy S III General] barisahmet:
pwned.
[Galaxy S III General] :
@DeadSOL

Reviewing isn't about saying what you want and need. You actually wasn't reviewing, you just told your thoughts about it, saying what you are missing and want, trying to put useless arguments like it's all essential.

Well, you suck at "reviews", and you surely would get fired if you were working in review departament.

The funny part is that people actually believe and take you seriously, so from now on, Samsung sucks because they put a grey status bar [which have been there for a long time, at least on JB], Samsung sucks because widgets takes a while to load, Samsung sucks because they didn't implement multiview, which I think it's good, but not essential, which I can live without it, Samsung sucks because they didn't put Note 2 gallery, which it's pure decorative, are you not being able to view your photos on the stock one?

You should take some years to study more about Android and your own phone, so you won't make more useless comments and "reviews" like those two.

btw, I reported you, because your last post was just threatening me, and honestly, telling **** about Android/Samsung/SGSIII.

[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
This version is no different to the previous Polish DliB for anyone wondering. Runs just as good.

Unless you are in the Telenor csc region there's no real need to update from DliB.
[Galaxy S III General] AbuYahya:
This community is very poor mannered having little respect for one another.

Likewise many who not appreciative.

The samsung goodies you seek like note2 gallery snd split screen are designed by samsung and they decide what phones this comes too.

When we purchase a phone their is no guarantee that it will be updated and that you will be given better apps.

Its like buying Windows7 PC and expecting windows 8 for free and with free applications.

This update is pretty reasonable overall. The goodies are likely to come when the full roll out occurs otherwise everbody with sgs3 would be here and not just this increasingly ungrateful small proportioned community .

Can anyone please be so kind to tell me which is the best (or right) way to make a really clean installation of this firmware? I'm not new to android, I know how to root and so, but I don't know if just wiping everything like data, cache, dalvik, and formating system its enough to make a really really clean install. I'm actually running this latest swedish jb firmware installed with mobile Odin pro, but when I enter stock recovery (3e) besides of all the options the recovery has, on the background I see a dead android robot lying on his back with a red exclamation mark, and I don't like it at all. So I assume something is wrong, but the thing is that everything is working fine.. :confused:

So, I don't know if I should format everything from cwm recovery and install an ice cream sandwich firmware and then after boot format everything again and install this jb firmware or what to do in order to have my phone working at it best...

Thanks a lot in advance for the help! :D

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III General] AbuYahya:
I suspect that dead robot image is the Odin mobiles doing and signifies that it had injected root successfully.

If everything is working well and relatively smooth, then just enjoy your new ROM.

If not then do a factory reset. And retry the ROM.If further problems factory reset followed by re installation.

Others may advise otherwise.

Edit

I didn't wipe anything before my installation and all is fine. I used Mobile Odin lite. And then tethered to PC odin to install root and CWM.

How can I report it to samsung, like you did?
[Galaxy S III General] studiominal:
I'm glad that you also realized that the noise does exist but really faintly like you said. Maybe you can visit Samsung UK or France and go to support center or something like that where you can report any issue via e-mail. :)

I guess you should lead those samsung engineers to that thread.

hey guys i know I'm late to the party, but can I use the firmware in the first post, (from what I can gather this is an official samsung os update)

with a 3 branded galaxy s3 from the UK? Has anyone done that yet?

Also will it wipe my phone? I wish i could grow some balls but im coming from blackberry and that was a one step process, this seems like there are 3 partitions which you can potentially mess with and I really can't afford much downtime on my phone. If it all goes balls up is it just a case of finding the three original 3uk files and putting them into Odin?

If I want to send back for repair, can I unroot?

when u flash the firmware from here you will not have root any more.

so root

get modem.bin

flash fw

flash modem

dunno about flash counter tho, triangle away?
[Galaxy S III General] romeo57:
I read that triangle away resets the flash counter and change Device Status from Modified back to Normal right?

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Wrong.. Yes it resets the binary counter but ur status in phone settings stays modified.. This does not matter though as this will change to normal when u flash a stock rom and ur counter stays at 0. Chainfire has explained all this in his Triangle Away thread on the S2 forum.

Normally, wiping /data and /system is enough before flashing any rom.

However, no harm will come of (and might even give u peace of mind) if u wipe the internal SD (by *2767*3855#) or factory reset from settings, or wipe from stock recovery. Be sure to backup first though.

You can disable s voice double home click in the Svoice settings but then if the screen goes black and you hit the home button, the screen turns on AND goes to the home screen (not good).

If you dont use it (S Voice) can freeze or even unistall it . IMO its a RAM hogger and too inaccurate to be of functional use.

Edit

The down side to this is that single press of home button when screen off will return you to home launcher.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Will return to your home launcher if you press the home button before 5 seconds of screen on. 5 seconds is the time out to lock the device, if you press power button before those 5 seconds it won't show lockscreen.
