Try and see if this torrent works.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
It's okay, I got it! Thanks, mate! :D

I'm going to flash and review the ROM right now. :)
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
ROMHut link on the way too :)
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Review time!

ROM

: Flashing MD3 (Turkish). Coming from MD2 without wipe.

Differences

:

Extra Applications: It comes with Opera Mini pre-installed. You can disable it but not uninstall it (660kb file size).

S-Voice: Is it just me or does the icon look updated? It functions the same, though.

RAM Usage: RAM usage seems significantly lower! I cleared my memory and the usage went down to 359MB! As a result, it handles multi-tasking slightly better.

NFC Toggle Bug: They've fixed the NFC toggle bug which was re-introduced in the last few builds.

Negatives/Unresolved Issues/Bugs

:

Home button to prevent screen timeout still tied to S-Voice.

Widgets drawer still has the initial loading lag.

Multitasking with games is still broken. You can't run two or more medium/heavy games in the background. One of them eventually restarts (if not instantly).

One finger expandable notifications are not present.

Contacts and Phone don't open instantaneously.

When recording a video, left and right audio is switched.

During Pop-up Play, clear type text is turned off and you can see jagged edges everywhere.

Recent Apps Tab still randomly forgets the most recently minimized application (will take a few days to check).

Shadow redraws on Touchwiz icons occurs when the phone is low on free RAM (will take a few days to check).

Touchwiz can restart when the phone is low on free RAM (will take a few days to check).

NFC toggle bug is present.

Recommended or not?

:

Yes. RAM management is better in this build which makes multi-tasking a bit better. MD2 becomes a RAM disaster after a week (slow to respond and open applications). Let's hope that this build stays fast in the long run.

thx for review using it too seems fine for me too. and i dont think any android rom can be usable after 1 week you should restart phone once a week atleast its same on my nexus 4 and htc one too.they have 2 gb of ram and after 1 week free ram become 100 mb like s3
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
Number 4 is a 4.2.X only feature, hence it being present in the two 4.2 leaks....
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Nope, you're wrong.

http://youtu.be/a6dzMzklEd4?t=43s
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
I'm afraid not. It didn't make it into the final code until 4.2. It was committed during 4.1.2.

That's the same video that was posted last time I pointed out the mistake and the response is exactly the same. They found that by looking at the commit logs... Just because it was committed, doesn't mean it gets sent to the central repo. Which, it wasn't, until 4.2. The video isn't running stock Android, it's custom and they have built AOSP using that particular commit.

One finger notifications is a 4.2 feature, as I said ;)
[Galaxy S III General] drelite08:
Anyone else noticed that earphone volume is a fair bit lower in this rom? I've actually had to use boeffla sound to increase the system preset earphone volume.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Well, read this article, guys! :)

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...llapsing-notifications-with-one-finger-video/

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

I hope you're not comparing this to 4.2.2. The sound in 4.2.2 was amazing and significantly louder! :)
[Galaxy S III General] drelite08:
Of course not mate I came from MC3 ;):D
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
That exact link was just posted.

The answer:

Again, it is a 4.2 feature. Not a 4.1.2 feature. It never made it into the 4.1.2 final code.

Just to reiterate... Cyanogen cherry picked that commit and imported it into their repo. But it did not make it into Google's final code until 4.2. It's a an Official 4.2 feature, not 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Did you see the video I posted?
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
¬.¬ I just explained exactly what's going on in the video. Didn't you read a single thing I said? They jumped on a git commit from September...

A commit doesn't mean it's in the final code. And it wasn't in the final code until 4.2! However, AOSP guys were free to take that commit and add it to their repo, which they did! But Official Google Android didn't use it until 4.2.

EDIT:

Because I'm 99% sure my friend's Nexus didn't have this until 4.2 and so is he. He had two fingered, as we do now... but not one finger. IF ti was simply edited over or missing, like the AOSP Lockscreen was, it would've been modded back in long before now.

What is samsung doin? Since the first 4.1.1 firmeware the ram Management get even more worst... tw needs a big improvment in my opinion
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
'unused RAM is wasted RAM' they say :)
[Galaxy S III General] enigma1981:
There's a big difference between unused ram and badly managed ram!

Unused ram can be filled as necessary, badly managed ram bogs down a system and causes lag, freezing and fc issues... sound familiar?

[Galaxy S III General] rafa6571:
You're right! Everything redraws! My optimus p500 has better ram management than my s3. It's such a shame.

If u're playing a game and open chrome u lost the progress that hasnt been saved cuz the game just close.
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
I don't know if it's actually the result of poor multitasking philosophy of android (maybe TW android I should say) , the lack of support from the app dev to save progress, or the comparatively weak hardware that is to blame for this.

Perhaps a combination of the three?
[Galaxy S III General] bixano:

What happened to 4.2.2. ?

Whats a leak ? I got official update today when I turned my phone on. so my real questions is what's new ? if somebody knows the answer...

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
4.2.2 was a leak...
[Galaxy S III General] nixtip:
4.2.2. is out since february how can that be a leak... so new update i got today was what exactly?
[Galaxy S III General] enigma1981:
4.2.2 was leaked on the 20th... it was 4.2.1 that was out in february and guess what... that was a leak too!
[Galaxy S III General] nixtip:
Ok so what was the update today that had 60 MB in size ? it was official update when i turned on my phone i got Android notice to update.

I mean is there a list of things changed anywhere?

BTW, wiki says Jelly 4.2.2. was out in Feb. 11th.
[Galaxy S III General] tmac31:
It is just another 4.1.2 update from samsung no changelist released just more stable rom. And 4.2.2 release time not important because its for nexus devices
[Galaxy S III General] nixtip:
It would be great if we could normally update Android OS to latest stable version as any other OS, and not to depend on manufacturer or lose warranty etc..
[Galaxy S III General] MuertoKo:
You could simply check your phone to know that... You are new to android, aren't you?

Updates are released at one date, and ported to each phone slowly some time after that, only nexus devices do update on time!

You can go settings -> Device info and check the Android version number and build, it will surely be a 4.1.2 revision, one of many

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

Yeah, when pigs fly xD Sadly...
[Galaxy S III General] tmac31:
whats the point of update if your phone has no problem? 4.2.2 doesnt realy bring big differences it wont make your phone fast or something you should care about your company's updates if your phone doesnt have an issue you should be good to go. still your phone has more stuff (useless? maybe..) than pure android with 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
My name is Simon and I'm a flashaholic :D

1.Disable developer ooption

2.reboot your phone

3.tadaaaa now you can remove all the screens if you want :p

In the leaked ROM, play music for a little while with the stock music player. It will stutter and stop randomly.

Urgent help?

EDIT - SORTED JUST HAD TO CLEAR DATA/FACTORY RESET...

Hi,

I need a little urgent help please...I'm selling my S3 tomorrow (originally on Orange UK) and was trying to unroot and restore back to orange firmware with Odin but unfortunately the phone is stuck on the 'Samsung' bootup logo!

I've repeated it twice without much success - I'm trying to intall the following;

I9300BVALE4 Download (Thanks To SamMobile!)

Carrier: Orange

Any urgent suggestions most welcome as I need to get this sorted ASAP.

Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy S III General] sarbe:
Go into recovery and do factory reset.

EDIT: You beat me to it.
[Galaxy S III General] FeuchtVonLipwig:
reboots are rom issues most of the time, while sod or in general bad performance is caused by kernel problems.
[Galaxy S III General] drelite08:
No random rebooted for me. Could possibly be a kernel issue. I use boeffla 2.11 and not had any issues.
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
What is sod, unless suffixed by off.
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
SOD is sleep of death. The phone goes into to such a deep sleep, that it can't wake up.
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Like the sudden death syndrome, or is recoverable hence the sleep?
[Galaxy S III General] enigma1981:
From sleep of death, just pull the battery, count to ten, put it back in and you're good to go. In my experience it usually happens if the CPU max frequency when screen off is set too low, or if the phone runs out of useable ram when it enters sleep mode

Swyped from my Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk 4 beta.
[Galaxy S III General] Painman1963:
I get SOD quite regularly, maybe once or twice a month. It bothers me because I use my phone as an alarm and since I got caught out on new years day a few years ago with an iPhone 4 I have become quite paranoid about it.

Is there a fix for it?
[Galaxy S III General] enigma1981:
Usually a custom kernel with better ram/cpu management can sort it out - I recommend Boeffla Kernel by AndiP - amazing battery life, awesome speed, massive boost in audio quality due to the sound tweaks he includes and a really hands-on helpful dev! It's just generally awesome!
[Galaxy S III General] Autourdupc:
Great !

It works ! Thanks a lot !

But it is still a bug, isn't it ?
[Galaxy S III General] Painman1963:
Wow. I've never tried a custom kernel before I've always chosen to stay stock. I've downloaded and installed the latest stable and left the configuration as is for now, but my phone suddenly feels much more responsive.

I'll have a good read through the Devs site and play a bit from there but thanks a lot for the heads up

Delete any cache related to the Play Store. My phone is too far from me to see what you need to delete. I think there was something else, too.
[Galaxy S III General] sp0r0s:
i dont know what is related with play store :(
[Galaxy S III General] Painman1963:
I'm hoping the kernel I have just loaded will fix the problem but it's interesting that you've had yours while connecting to bluetooth because ALL of my SOD's have occurred whilst connected to a bluetooth headset. I also keep bluetooth switched on all the time because it's easier than switching it off just for charging periods.

Fingers crossed I won't see it again but if I do I'll start to explore a bluetooth link.
