guys if i do a full wipe like factory reset and doing it on recovery mode.. do i need to unroot the device.. im thinking of doing a full wipe before upgrading to 4.3 manually
[Galaxy S III General] blackhart53:
When I upgrade to 4.3 it was automatically unroot.
[Galaxy S III General] jambalaugi:
for those having battery problems i highly recommend flashing the boeffla kernel either 5.1 stable or 5.2 experimental. i'm using the experimental right now and i've gone 24 hours with around 1.5 hours of screen time and i have 45% left.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

no need to unroot for me. i just wipe cache and dalvik and flashed over it. i've also used pre-rooted roms and they dont need unrooting when you flash over them.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
1.5 screen time,45% left and you're happy? I have everything stock and 45% is always left when I'm on 2.50 screen time (heavy use). I can even post a screen shot everytime to prove that. You people install those kernels to fix battery and etc. and it seems like you don't know what you're doing. You're killing the battery I would say.
[Galaxy S III General] jambalaugi:
Nah, I don't think I'm killing the battery. In fact, I would even say I'm saving it. Boeffla Kernel underclocks the CPU when it's not in use. That's where it gets most of its saving ability. I'm happy because compared to stock, 24 hours without charging and moderate use is good for me. That's including all the uploading to dropbox all of my pictures which definitely takes a large chuck of my battery whether my screen is on or not.

I appreciate your comment though. I didn't mention that I'm also using Neatrom 6.4. That helps too. And your 2.5 hours at 45% is normal for me when I was on stock.
[Galaxy S III General] darkluna:
Sorry but I can't follow your logic. How can you be saving battery when you are just getting 1.50 hrs on screen time on custom kernel and 2.50hrs on stock kernel?

[Galaxy S III General] jambalaugi:
If you read my original post, you'll see that the phone has been on for 24 hours. Try getting your stock ROM to idle for 24 hours and tell me how much battery you'll have left.

Upgrading to 4.3 from 4.1.2

I got a 4.1.2 Stock Rom with Googy max kernel in it. I've downloaded a Globe 4.3 Firmware on sammobile.com. Do I have to Full wipe the device in order to upgrade ? Can I Do a full wipe then restore all my apps through titanium backup ? Is everything better in 4.3 ? Thank you !!!:good:
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
Stock 4.3 is good... No problems... very smooth but still if you want more control over your rom than try installing custom 4.3 or 4.4 roms. they are way more batter... but still your test might be different than yours... I am using resurrection remix rom and I am enjoying everything, battery life, customization, smoothness everything...

[Galaxy S III General] ocirne14:
Guys, I need help, I recently updated from 4.1.2 to 4.3 through Mobile Odin using the firmware I9300XXUGMK6 from sammobile.com since I am rooted. After that my wifi won't work, and my IMEI has changed to 0049 and SN to all 0's. I used Ariza patch's offline patch and it resolved the wifi issue but not the IMEI and SN issues. So I decided to flash back to 4.1.2, went to sammobile.com and got confused if I will flash I9300XXEMF6 or I9300XXELLC. I cannot remember what firmware version my S3 has before so I decided to flash the first one which was I9300XXEMF6 since they are both 4.1.2. Thinking that it will resolve the issue, I rooted my phone right after I flashed it then found out that I still face same issue with my IMEI and SN. I don't have a backup of my EFS folder before I flash to 4.3. I tried all of the suggestions here in xda but sad to say they did not work. But then again I read about EFS version that might be causing the issue but to be honest, I am still quite in the dark about it yet. Can anybody help me please. :crying::crying::crying:
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
If you dont have EFS backup than it will be difficult... you might have to go to samsung...

[Galaxy S III General] jambalaugi:
nice haha. 48 hours is awesome.

how is the camera app for 4.4.2 omnirom by the way? does it crash also like in cm 10.2?

i use samsung based roms like neatrom or archidroid 1.x because of the zero shutter lag in the camera app and the overall stability.

thats why i wanna know how omnirom is in terms of the camera department. :) what can you say about it?
[Galaxy S III General] oaba09:
Still rocking my gs3 running CM....I dont feel the need to upgrade just yet.
[Galaxy S III General] darkluna:
The camera works great for me. But some guys are reporting that they do have the same problem with the camera app on cm and Omni. I think there problem is hardware related. Not all s3 has the same camera HW. When I was in cm I also never had the camera app problem.

Hi all!

I found this nice ROM on XDA. Its for the international version of the S3 i9300 which will not get KK. Its a port from Note 2's Kitkat upgrade. Im actually using it and its a lot smoother than 4.3. If youre rooted youve got to give it a try ;)

But remember its a WIP so expect bugs.

[Galaxy S III General] iSeekAnswers:
hi guys I am new to rom flashing with my samsung galaxy s3 gti9300. I was able to flash s5 sensation rom. all working fine as it should. I was just wondering cause I check my s3 storage via ''my file" app and still see folders from my previous applications, found them here Local storage> Device storage > Android both data and obb folders contains previous installed application folder from my old rom. what i did before the installtion is "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", and "wipe dalvik cache".

How do I remove those files during rom installation? or how do I remove those application leftovers before I install a new rom?
[Galaxy S III General] darkluna:
You need to reformat the internal SD to remove that. In the custom recovery there is an advance option to format SD.
[Galaxy S III General] iSeekAnswers:
thanks for the supprt sir darkluna..

I'm currently using "Philz touch 5" w/ CWM Base Version: v6.0.4.4 and under my "Mounts and Storage Menu" i have the following options for formatting;

- format /system

- format /cache

- format /preload

- format /data

- format /storage/sdcard1

- format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)

since i've previously did a nand backup w/ sdcard1 i'm pretty much sure that sdcard1 is my external sd card. can you guys explain what the use of each of these formatting options, like what will happen if i format /system, /cache, /preload, /data, /data and /data/media
[Galaxy S III General] darkluna:
To be safe just remove your SD card then format everything. Just put it back when your ready to flash. That's what I'm doing when doing a fresh install to wipe everything.

Hey there mga kababayan! :)

I need your help guys. I'm totally new to flashing, and I just installed cyanogenmod through the computer installer. As of now, I'm running cm11 m8. Now my question is that can I update it to the cm11 m12? and if Yes, please teach me how :) thanks mga kababayan! :angel:
[Galaxy S III General] darkluna:
Download cm11 m12 to your SD card. Reboot to recovery flash the cm11 meg, flash GApps then your done.
[Galaxy S III General] JohnRod:
Thanks for answering kababayan. Will this method erase my applications? I've been reading a lot of stuffs about flashing lately, they are doing something like "reset factory" , "wipe cache". Do i have to to that also? or just go to recovery and flash cm11 m12 and the GApps?

thanks bro! :angel:
[Galaxy S III General] darkluna:
There is no need to do that. You can just dirty flash. When I was using cm I always do dirty flash. I'll just do a clean flash if there is a problem that I can't solve. By doing a dirty ash all your apps will not be erased. You can alway do an app back up using titanium backup.
[Galaxy S III General] JohnRod:
That helps a lot bro :) One more thing, please tell me how to do dirty flash? Do I have to install recovery first? Because I believe cm11 m8 includes a recovery already, correct me if im wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] darkluna:
I'm sure you already have a custom recovery like CWM coz it's one of the prerequisite to install CM.

1. Turn the phone off then press power+home botton+volume up to go to recovery.

2. Go to install zip from SD card. Look for the cm m12 on your SD card then flash it after that flash GApps.

3. Reboot! You have just dirty flashed ?

Dirty flashing means you don't do a wipe you just flash it on top of an existing rom.
[Galaxy S III General] JohnRod:
I learned a lot from you bro, thanks! :D You sure I already have custom recovery though? Just like what I have told you before, I installed CM through computer installer, I haven't install any other stuff like custom recovery aside from the cm installer. kabado ako haha :eek:
[Galaxy S III General] darkluna:
You can always try to see if you have a custom recovery. If you don't, you can always install one. There is always a link for it in the first post of CM's thread.

Hi, would just like to ask if any among you guys have successfully hook up their PS3 Sixaxis Controller Wirelessly to their Galaxy S3 without Rooting (using USB/BT JoyCenter 6 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy&hl=tl App).

I recently bought I USB Bluetooth Dongle from CDR-King and followed all the instructions here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcB1SC37c6A

but the bluetooth can't detect my PS3 Controller wirelessly even after the MAC Address is stored to the controller.

I think the problem lies with my bluetooth usb dongle,

The app requires, CSR Bluetooth 2.x/EDR+ USB Stick, my CDR King Label carries "Compliant with Bluetooth v2.0 & v1.2".

My assumption is that they are the same or is it possible the CDR King Bluetooth do not carry a CSR Chipset?

I'm using Omni right now. Is much more simple than CM. The only downside to omni is that it is being drop by the omni team for lack of maintainer. While cm is still developing on s3. If you like you can try omni then if it's not for you. You can always go back to cm. Just backup your apps first before changing rom.

BTW. Don't backup and restore system apps. Coz it while screw up everything on your phone.
