agree with you,

im using galaxy series from first day, i had omnia before...but my first pda was I-mate..today is HTC

i'm disappointed that Samsung is so slow on new updates...

if s3 will not receive kitkat from Samsung, i will buy HTC one M8 and not Samsung any more...

Samsung don't like users that are two years old...

anyway i was checking S5 phone and is nothing special...same performance on feeling like our omega s3...some minor screen improvements, but on direct sun light i was NOT able to read my internet page...so same than our s3...

time will tell...

SGS3 was anounced and released on 2012-5 , while Kitkat was released on 2013-10 .

This is still in the 18 months period range.

I don't get why companies still don't follow this rule, as Google does its best to make the OS less and less demanding, working nicely even on low-end devices.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] galen2:
I readed too that for samsung passed 18 months, because they dont take kitkat launch date, they use date that his rom could be released :rolleyes:, and how they spend months to do that... the 18 months date has passed.

I'm also a little bit bored of waiting such a long time without really knowing if yes or no we're gonna have this KK update...so i went to have a try on a 4.4.2 ROM (Archidroid)....i have to say that it is amazing (very light and fast...) i almost feel like having a new phone.

Hope Sammy will still think about GS3 users !!!

PS: What about an AOSP 4.4.2 Omega ROM ?

Adaway and Omega V58

Hi there,

I have a problem trying to install adway v2.81 on my fresh and wiped V58 Omega Rom.

Adaway says that i need more space... but on the system memory (not the extSdCard nor the 0).

I am not a new user of Omega rom and I did not recall having this issue before. Did Sammy reduced the system size to free up memory for apps?

Please guide me to a solution

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevemann:
Good Heads-up.

I am holding off any 'early adopter' rush for the S5 as I got badly hit by the first series of the S3 and the Exynos Brick bug....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
Now that googy_anas will be moving on to S4, all the more reason to say farewell to S3. In my opinion Sammy lost its touch and not even a prime product will convince me otherwise.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
I just ran into a similar issue with chrome after flashing a brunch of system updated inverted apps. After checking Titanium Backup I had 0 MB free in my system rom out of 1.58GB. 1st check if you're out of space, you shouldn't if you just flashed v58, but after flashing few mods you might. You can either delete some unnecessary system apps, or delete some google apps then install from play store as user apps. Careful not to delete necessary system apps.

As for Adaway it should then work .. I prefer Adfree I think this installs as a user app so no issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] galen2:
I dont will leave my s3 because one dev that develop a kernel that i never used move to s4 ;)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ddye:
I don't mind getting z latest version on my phone but I prefer that it is stable and functional.

The one thing good about Omega ROM is that it is solid rock, gives excellent battery life and is neat.

I know and believe that software can kill or give life to any gadget.

Unfortunately, the stronger the spec of the hardware is,

it seems like the weaker the more resource hungry z software is getting. May be, devs are getting a bit too lazy or undre pressure to optimize their software.

Whatever the reason, Samsung seems to provide a well balanced product. Their stock ROM is still the best for their hardware, with a bit of magic and tweaking like in Omega, of course.

I am open to suggestions for replacing my two years old s3, which I don't dislike.

cheers

[Galaxy S III Android Development] K4P1:
Hi!

Anyone having similar problems?

When I flash a new ROM, phone works with no lag at all.

After a few weeks (3-5) my phone slowly gets more and more lag.

I have tried clearing both cache and dalvik-cache with no success :(

Only way to get snappy phone back is re-flashing ROM again (like flashing a newer version - including reinstalling all apk:s).

Any ideas why/how to get rid of the lag?

Ps. ROM version is 58.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
Use Titanium Backup and check available rom space. As I get to limit lag begins, I uninstalled some system google apps and reinstalled from play store (user apps), then wipe cache and dalvik in recovery snappy again on reboot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Evil ONE:
Hi,

I also have the same "problem"...

So i use LagFix (scheduled every day), and i feel the phone a little bit more snappy.

Hope it helps

"Now even the Galaxy S III is concerned with the Android update to 4.4.2 KitKat. The rollout for the Samsung Galaxy S III to be launched end of May."

[Galaxy S III Android Development] nightwing90:
This section gives a little hope :good:

However, our tipster has said that Samsung is under pressure when it comes to its third-generation Galaxy S flagship, as Google has apparently warned it that the device was less than 18 months old when Android 4.4 was released, though we’re not sure Google has a say in these matters, so we’d suggest taking this with a grain of salt.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
When 4.4.2 started being thought about for the S3 it was mentioned way back then that the international model would probably not get it cos of low ram. If it does get it in the end I think it will be laggy and buggy because of this problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] II GHOSTFACE II:
That should not be the case kit kat was designed to be able to comfortably run on a device with 512mb with a new memory management system with apps use less ram and leave no foot print to allow resources for other apps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] K4P1:
Why they are "saving money" by putting as few memory chips as possible would "gladly" pay few euros/dollars (or ten or something) for that 1 gb memory.

Or copy from pc, where there is memory expansion slot for more memory/upgrade?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jumaqidi:
Samsung nids more than 1gb ram apparantly due to TOUCHWIZ HAHA
[Galaxy S III Android Development] galen2:
There are now samsung phones for low/mid range with 4.4.2 and 512mb so they wants to people buy one s5
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dark'em:
Agreed, the s4mini will get kk and it is overclased by our s3 in all aspects and guess what it has 1gb of ram! But the mini's are usually targeted at people who want a comfortable mid range phone so no competition there, but for us people that want the S class if we drop the s3 the new s5 is the choice and competitor...if I wanted to change my phon I'd go for the s4 i9505 not the i9500 case the i9505 has the same internals as the GooglePlay edition. Guys don't spend money on the s5 it's not worth it!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
Heres an update from SamMobile ( under the original articale ). It seems that its not the RAM and its not about getting people to buy the S5 and push the S3 out. The i9300 has TW issues implementing TouchWiz apps into 4.4.2 and system apps arent loading. If they can figure it out then the international S3 may get a late update or just got straight to 4.4.3 with any luck.

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/05/07...evices-getting-the-android-4-4-kitkat-update/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] galen2:
Cooza u are a smart guy, i really think samsung have problems implementing Touchwiz apps into 4.4.2? Note2 4.4.2 its same mobile with 2gb and 200mh faster, but its same phone internally... and have 4.4.2 released.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
First they said it was a low ram issue and now they say it's a TW problem loading system apps. Honestly I still believe it's a low ram issue that is causing the TW to have these problems loading system apps but they don't want to let on that they may not be able to fix it. Touch Wiz is a huge resource user. I have the S3 and since 4.1.2 it has had certain lag issues. Higher ram variants haven't. My friend had the S3 mini (low ram and low end device) and it was really terrible. I don't seem to have lag by using light third party launchers and freezing TW. My S3, Note2 and S5 all with a third party launcher, frozen TW and no Samsung bloat fly and are smooth as mate. Samsung need to focus on less bloat and a less heavy launcher for 4.4.2 to work over all their devices. That's why I think LG and HTC can do it on their low end phones. The ones that don't get it they just openly choose not to upgrade.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] galen2:
Im reading that touchwiz on 4.4.2 on low/mid phones are ligther that touchwiz on 4.4.2 on s5 because have a lot of less functions, i cant check that because i dont have one phone to test. And i reading too that last full version of touchwiz (s5) is ligther that our touchwiz and samsung dont want to use last version on our phone to give same funcionality than s5 and have risk to people stay on s3 and dont buy one s5. They want to integrate our old touchwiz on 4.4.2 and how u say cooza is a huge resource user.

There is a guy that ported last s5 touchwiz to s3 4.3. I will test lag on that touchwiz to see its ligther or not. Tomorow i will install it on friend´s s3 phone 4.3 stock and will ask about it.

I think this will be my last samsung phone because they didnt update for 18 months my phone, i can wait to samsung release rom 6 months before nexus but no accept that cancel update because they want to sell more s5 not giving me proper support, support that i think i pay when buy phone first day of lauch on 1/5/2012. Nexus, Motorola or Xiaomi could be my next phone, i think they could offer me better support on updates that samsung.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
TW for 4.4.2 on the S5 has been optimized to work better that's true and the old S3 TW is the bad one there's no doubt about that mate. The low end devices may have fewer features but also less ram (some) running the old TW too. If they don't want to put the newer S5 Touch Wiz into a 4.4.2 release for the S3 then I don't think a release will happen in my opinion. After all they did say a long time ago it wasn't getting it. I hope I'm wrong for my own device and all the other S3 users out there. Anyway I'll continue to use other launchers that I feel are right for the device. Maybe I'll send the name of it to Samsung and they can use it in 4.4.2 mate. At least then we will get an update :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] galen2:
Seems a joke that samsung couldnt do a proper launcher, because im with u, if u change only the launcher lag disappear completely. On the other way samsung do a good work with aosp roms adding features how smarteye, smart rotation, battery saver mode, remote control to find device... with a bloatware free rom and some mods how omega have... i almost have the perfect software on my phone.

Im still on 4.1.2 v43 and my phone works perfect, one of this days i will update to v58, but first will post here some dudes i have :highfive:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] galen2:
Well guys, i have a few questions before update to v58, i hope some could help me.

Im on 4.1.2 v43, i have to flash first to official 4.3 or i could do wipes and flash directly? I ask this because i dont know if i have to update bootloader, im on XXELLA bootloader from 4.1.2 stock.

Triangule away its working on 4.3? i use dongle and only works with status oficial.

Wanan xposed works 100% or have any know uncompatibility?

I use google keyboard, could i uninstall samsung keyboard?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
No need to flash stock 4.3, simply do a full wipe and possibly even format your internal storage. Android 4.3 has the new sdcard partitioning and you might get double folders. Make a nandroid backup of 4.1.2 first.

Don't worry about the bootloader, I think I have the same version and since Omega roms are without it, there should be no issues.

Triangle away works fine on 4.3, I have official status & also official in Settings app thanks to Wanam module. No compatibility problems with Wanam, although I use many xposed apps to tweak and also Blue Theme v6. You just have to figure out what you need and then test.

You can uninstall sammy keyboard, you can also freeze it, or rename it to SamsungIME.apk.bak. Whatever suits you better, just do make backups first.

Might I suggest Oppo Find 7/7a or OnePlus One. The latter is a great bargain at $299. I'm not sure if you prefer stock android or rather manufacturer based firmwares. But according to the first feedbacks, those Chinese guys are the new best thing. I'll surely be getting one of them, depends on what I can get shipped to my country first.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] biustech:
Yeah these are awesome suggestions. I would go for one of them in a heart beat. the problem is the availability of them, One+ One is current available only through invitation. And Oppo Find is not available at the moment.

Well i have to re-think all the options.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cooza:
And I'm not surprised when it's been out there for months (the possibility of no upgrade I mean). Still sad though mate :(

[Galaxy S III Android Development] aj-alberto:
i think u may probably forgot something during flashing progress.

thousands of sgs3 owners use this rom, and i think almost none of them faced with this problem.

just think it over, what you did during flashing process. probably you may tried to flash with low battery, or bad sectors in your internal memory, or even your flashchip is corrupted because of many flashes... or maybe you have not international sgs3. this rom is for only i9300.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] jj92942000:
Not bricked if you can get into download mode. V58 is rock solid. I'd flash stock firmware via odin then root. Flash PhilZTouch recovery latest and grab SuperSu zip latest keep in safe place. Flash v58 full wipe .. you should be set.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] galen2:
I readed that someone have problems when try to restore a nandroid backup from 4.3 to 4.1.2 because folder/partition structure changes, how i can avoid that problem if i have to restore?

I use philz recovery and i just do a nandroid backup, but.. which is your way to backup efs? I have efs Pro (Windows app) and samsung efs tool (android app), but i trust more on nandroid efs backup, so i will backup efs that way. I still have efs v1 and i not want to mess, its safe flash omega rom (with new modem) directy without flash one oficial 4.3 first?

I removed samsung update files from my 4.1.2 rom and i think will do same on new rom, not cheking it on omega aroma installer, are needed that files for wanan xposed to reset the status to oficial? to install it or not.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MMWolverine:
Nandroid backup should also restore folders from previous partitioning, but if you get the "0" (/sdcard0/0) folder check if the files are doubled and copy them to /sdcard0/, either with an android explorer or the one in windows.

You can backup your efs in aroma or philz touch, both work ok, just make sure to save them to an external location. Aroma should create the folder "es_Backup" and if I'm not mistaken PhilZ stores it in clockworkmod directory.

You don't need to install Samsung update apps, I never used them and Fake system status in Wanam security hacks works fine.
