You might wanna add to your emr2 review.

Framerate is still smooth even POWER SAVING is ON.

Played few games - temple run 2, playstation -epsxe and pou. Cpu usage is max 400mhz. :)

Gui is also smooth - it is like power saving is off.

[Galaxy S III General] sagemda:
about what rom are you talking about?
[Galaxy S III General] j0sefuz:
I'm sorry. I meant about the mr2 stock. :)
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Well, I've seen that Temple Run 2 is properly optimized for a lot of Android devices (including the slower ones). That's why it runs smooth.

Buuuuuut I just tested Subway Surfers, too. Yes, it does run faster on Power Saving. So, I think I'll definitely update my post. Thanks! :D

I have a funny feeling that, previously, Power Saving restricted the CPU to only 800MHz. Now, I can see that it runs at either 800MHz or 1GHz when playing GPU-intensive games. Does anyone know if that's true?

[Galaxy S III General] MrDannyD:
Help pls.

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum and new to the Samsung Galaxy SIII

It's not my first android phone as I have just upgraded from an HTC deside HD. (Never Rooted or modified and used as stock for 2 years)

Now my issue is that when deciding on my phone I was looking in store at an S3 that I really liked but now I actually have my upgrade it's just not the same.

For instance the one in store (got my upgrade through my carrier not in store) had a pull menu on the left with app short cuts.

Mine doesn't.

And I have a lame T-Mobile boot up and shut down animation and not the beautiful Samsung one.

Basically I have a T-Mobile branded S3 and I want rid of the branding.

I have been looking everywhere on the site and there is soo much information on here I'm running in to data overload.

The site is great don't get me wrong it's just soooooo much.....

I have been using the Samsung GS3 ToolKit and that's been working great I am however no further in de-branding my phone (have spent all day on this now...)

The phone has been rooted I have supersu, romtoolbox lite (can't change the animation with this) CWM installed.

here's a screenshot off all the other req info (I think)

(see attached pic, I can't post a link...)

IS there anyone who can help me or point me in the right direction??

PS feel free to snip this off this thread if this wasn't the appropriate place to post this.

I just don't know where to start....

Tnx
[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
@MrDannyD

Just flash any stock rom 4.1.2 ( Best would be a XXELA or MR2 )

Its up to you. You can find reviews on both of them from DeadSOL.

You will get rid of t-mobile branding and you will have that shorcuts which you want, which are used for multi-window feature.

I highly recommend to upgrade from 4.1.1 !

Use pc odin for flashing, reset factory settings and clear cache from recovery menu before and after flashing the new rom.

You will find around all the tutorials you will need.

Best way to install a new ROM is with Odin for PC.

Why does Nexus get 4.2.2 but not S3?:(

Sent from my Nordic I9300XXEMA2 Android 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Because the Nexii get android directly from Google with the pure and sexy vanilla looks. Samsung takes android, gives it to their highly trained monkeys who are instructed to cram as much bloat on android as possible, far beyond sanity's bounds, then ships it out bug-ridden. Then they take forever to fix those bugs with bloated ota packages.

Stock android on a Nexus device = at max 300 MB. TouchWiz on a Sammy device = more than 1.2 GB.

If you care for the latest possible android, you shouldn't have gone with an OEM phone. You should of picked a Nexus ^^

Re: [Stock Official Firmwares] I9300XXEMR2 (4.1.2) - Germany (VD2) [07-02-13]

Why yes, yes indeed. So long as you have the CSC for Germany and an untouched German firmware, you can and will far German updates.

I would know because there was a time when I tricked my phone into receiving British updates (and I'm Swedish)
[Galaxy S III General] planetf1:
So whilst other manufacturers don't use CSC, they still produce country & network specific firmware including bloat.

The good thing about the samsung approach is that it's split out into a seperate file, so is a lot easier to manage if you want to pick and choose modem, base firmware, and network specifics.

Obviously generic/open firmware including AOSP doesn't need this -- and ultimately I do wish there was a single fw update rather than all these variants

Whenever i have a few notifications, the notification drawer and the quick settings become laggy. The more notifications I have, the more laggy they are. If I clean the notifications, the drawer becomes smooth once again.

The rest of the system is smooth as it always was.

I tried to wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache, formay system and sdcard) and flash both XXEMA2 and XXEMR2, and I'm having the same problem on both the firmwares.
