Hi guys, after asking Mike for a modified stock ROM (which includes all of his tweaks/features from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797334),

he was kind enough to make a ROM for us Telstra users based on Telstra's stock ROM (found on Sammobile.com under i9300T section - I9300TDUALF2_I9300TTELALF2_TEL).

The rom is great - it's fast, smooth and exactly the same as the rom in his thread.

Good news is that we can use our modem (DULF2 - which can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4giifjzl3vg772n/modem_CWM_I9300TDULF2.zip )

which I found to be the best in terms of reception and data speeds. Also "HD Voice" works since it is based on stock firmware.

All the pre-installed telstra apps are there - which is good or bad, depends if you like it or not; however I just use Titanium backup to freeze any unwanted app.

This rom will get updated when Telstra releases a new base/firmware :D

Again, this rom was made by mike1986. and I take no credit for it.

So enjoy the rom! http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-SG3_Telestra.zip

Downloading now, will give it a try and see how it is compared to OmegaV11

:good:
[Galaxy S III General] sabaramo:
Yep same here. le6 and lf2 are comparable though. lg8 is abysmal.

Sent from my GT-I9300T
[Galaxy S III General] rxw:
With Telstra with a T phone and the stock modem is by far and away the fastest for data on the 850Mhz band... tried many radio's. :)
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Bizarre but lg6 and now lg8 are far and away best for me. Am with telstra on a 9300 on latest Omega and latest Siyah kernel.
[Galaxy S III General] samorgs:
Downloaded and flashed this rom, so far so good. Used Titanium Backup to freeze most of the bloatware and am really liking it.

Tried flashed the Kalaga mixed theme from Omega and it worked perfectly. Will stick with this for now and see how it goes.

:)
[Galaxy S III General] rxw:
CM10 also works with Telstra stock modem FYI..... CM10 is soooooooooooooooooooo much nicer if you ask me.
[Galaxy S III General] samorgs:
I tried CM10 & Paranoid, will stick with this for the next week or so then will give CM10 another go.

[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
Does the Telstra radio work with stock XXBLG8 or does it have the no voice issues like with BLFB?
[Galaxy S III General] wackyD:
Interested to know this as well. I'm willing to test / be a Guinea pig if someone can point me in the direction of the Telstra modem

[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
No it wont work. Same as LFB. Anyway, I use the LG8 modem on Checkrom LG8 firmware and I have great call quality / reception using a T version with Optus / Virgin sim.
[Galaxy S III General] sparky_boi:
Hey to anyone on Telstra - what speeds are you getting?

I'm on prepaid and the most I've ever seen on the phone was 750KB/s or around 7Mbps.

I thought H+ is up to 21Mbps? I've got the 9300T version as well and it's on stock Telstra firmware.

My mate on an Optus contract gets 10Mbps when standing next to me.. does Telstra cap/limit pre-paid users' data speeds as opposed to contract?
[Galaxy S III General] aarick:
Fastest I got is a 10mbps. This is postpaid Telstra. Pretty good speed I think without going 4G..
[Galaxy S III General] copycutter:
Fastest I've seen with stock setup was around 10-11Mbps, and fastest with LG8 modem/CM10 is around 4.5Mbps on Telstra T model.

Still I prefer the newer rom to the faster data speeds. I came from Vodafone iPhone 4 which took a month of Sunday's to do anything. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] sladflob:
If by "Telstra radio" you mean the TDULF2 modem, then I can confirm that it doesn't. I installed XXBLG8 and kept the TDULF2 modem the other day and had one-way voice (I could hear them but they couldn't hear me). I am really thinking that having a T model of the phone is a bit of a curse.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
It's nothing to do with the T model modem. None of the old modems such as Optus stock modem work with LFB and later firmwares...
[Galaxy S III General] Pep71:
Exactly which rom + kernel + modem are you using?

[Galaxy S III General] cheetah2k:
Stock BLG8 on Vodafone with the LG8 modem

I just cannot fault the whole stock rom, simply perfect IMO :good:.
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
Guess we will have to wait for a new Telstra ROM to be released
[Galaxy S III General] marauderShields:
Im on telstra, and never get anything over 3000 kbps, usually its around 1500...

ive attached below my stats/ what i have at the moment, which is the fastest modem for a T version?
[Galaxy S III General] sparky_boi:
Firstly you have an old modem, try this one: www.dropbox.com/s/4giifjzl3vg772n/modem_CWM_I9300TDULF2.zip

CSC for Australia (Virgin) + other questions ...

Hi everybody :)

I am new to all this so please forgive some naive questiions :o

1. What CSC should I load for Australia (multiple) or Virgin in particular.

Apparently the Virgin CSC code is XSA (?) but it is not present in my list (*#272*_DEVICE_IMEI_#).

2. Is the CSC separate from firmware, preserved or included ... here I am confused as hell :confused:

Is there a site that have some clear howtos that you would reccomend ? The forums are great but waqy too much and too fuzzy for a beginner :confused:

3. How do you download files from the phone ? I tried a USB connection but the directories are listed incomplete. E.g a particular directory have 33 files and 78MB but in Windows Explorer I see only 16 files and 68MB. Same for other directories and no funny stuff that I knw of (no hidden files, etc.)

Thanks in advance for any reply. :)
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
Do not worry about CSC at all - does nothing.

Where do I get stock lg8?
[Galaxy S III General] sladflob:
Is your phone a I9300 or I9300T?
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Doesn't matter... you can use any ROM that made for I9300 on I9300T . Only you can't use I9300T roms on I9300 for some reason
[Galaxy S III General] sladflob:
Well the reason I'm asking is because I tried the LG8 firmware/radio on my T and did not have a good experience with the radio. Also on VF. So I'm trying to eliminate variables here...
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Sorry I misread modem to rom.. I'm on Vodafone with LG8 modem. From my experience I'm yet to find a modem as fast as LF2. I posted a speed test few pages back which went to 11mbps... you might also wonna try the stock Vodafone au APN settings I posted.. let me know how it goes... LG8 isn't bad but it still not as good as LF2. But then again if you wonna try a latest firmware current stock T model modems not an option ;)
[Galaxy S III General] dan0s:
I'm on Vodafone using Checkrom v4 with LG8 modem at the moment. I'm right near Vodafone head office in North Sydney also and at full signal H+ i get around 1.6mbps, its gone up to 3mbps sometimes but very rarely. I think its probably just Vodafone being Vodafone but it seems to do the job, most of the time.

LF2 was definitely the fastest i used though.

My reception seems to cut out now and them :/

Should I try a different modem?
[Galaxy S III General] :
noob question - modems/radios?

Hello everyone.

Been following this thread for a while now but I'm all confused. I recently went from iphone4 to SGS3 after really liking my TF101.

I've made the decision to root tomorrow (Odin is new to me but it'll be fine) but as this is my first phone I don't know anything about 3g or modems on android phones.

Can someone explain or point me to a reference to understanding the different modem firmwares, how to distinguish them and what they mean? They seem to be similar to rom versions but subtly different and I get the vibe if i make the wrong choice I'll be in trouble but I just don't know what I'm looking for...

I have an unbranded 9300 running on optus (iinet sim)

CSC for Australia (multipack) or Virgin ?

Hi,

I appreciate your effort to answer me :) but I find it hard to believe that indeed it does nothing at all ... otherwise what would be the point ? My understanding is that it automatically sets the APN ...

So my question still stands: What CSC for Australia (multipack preferred) and what is the code for Virgin ?

Many thanks for your attention. All the best :)
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
My point was more the fact there is no need to worry about CSC - as one can just set the APN manually rather than finding the CSC file that's flashable via Odin (not once through flashing hundreds of roms on my S1, S2, S3 or HTC Desire, have I ever worried about what the CSC is). Though to answer your question; XSA I'm pretty sure is the unbranded CSC whilst OPS is Optus, (will be compatible with virgin).
[Galaxy S III General] ActionBastardDV:
yeah I'm on it atm, in Australia & I'm on Vodafone too. I have a habit of manually changing the apn after flashing any ROM, cz I like to remove the proxy so I can use adaway. Not sure if its due to the default apn, but you can find the apn settings online & change it. That might help. Just google apn Vodafone Australia or something along those lines

But to answer your question, no. It shouldn't be an Australian Vodafone issue
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
XSA is unbranded Australia (not Optus).
[Galaxy S III General] zziggy:
Does anyone get the feeling that the LG8 modem is eating battery? I think i'll try an older one and see.
[Galaxy S III General] Comoman:
I can assure you this is incorrect. For some reason I had the GLB CSC on my S3. My Telstra HD did not work (WB-AMR was off). Didn't matter what modem or ROM I used. Tried them all basically.

Flashed XSA (resets phone totally though) and immediately WB-AMR is enabled and my Telstra HD is working. Makes a huge difference WB-AMR.
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
CSC only really includes carrier specific apps and settings (APN's included), as stated above I've always used the default for whatever custom rom I flash (usually KOR I think) without any problems whatsoever - for most people there is no need, however, in your case, it may have been different. If one does have issues, sure, change the CSC and hope performing the reset will fix the problem, though it's not necessary most of the time if you only need the APN's (which is what the original poster was intending it for).
[Galaxy S III General] rurikc:
Hello,

I believe that CSC is doing more than*APN and carrier applications updates. In particular:

- used by manufacturer (Samsung) also to determine what updates to push OTA (?) which I want to be notified of, even if not necessary apply them.

- some specific settings: for example my phone seems to be unbranded and certainly unlocked and yet in the default browser there are some bookmarks that I don't care about but are un-deletable. This stuff annoys me greatly. :)

So OK, the CSC is XSA, where do I find it ? Many thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] yldlj:
Anyone using teamasek's ROM? What modem are you using with it? Looks like the best CM10 ROM so i'm gona give it a try
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
I am not going to explain my self again as it seems pointless (if you re-read what I wrote, I stated some carrier specific settings - APN's included). You'll have to find a 3 part firmware unbranded Australian firmware from somewhere with the CSC file and extract it (not sure if you can take it from a 1 part firmware) and flash that via Odin - or in some cases (used to be like this on S1) - you could change your CSC via the phone directly (by entering something in your phone dialer, with the imei I think), however, as stated this will format your phone.

You will not be able to update OTA if you're rooted and if your CSC mismatches with the other parts of your phones software (pda and modem - also you won't be getting to many updates with an Aussie device, most seem to come from Europe). In terms of bookmarks I have no problems deleting the few rubbish ones on mine.
[Galaxy S III General] ajew:
How did you go? Do you get better battery with an older firmware?
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
I am using the BTU CSC with the stock UK XXLG8 ROM which matches so i will be able to recieve OTA.

I am with Telstra and all my APN settings are correct without me needing to edit them.. i think APN settings are set automatically by the SIM card and your network.

Can i Install OMEGA V-11 XXBLG8 on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300T VU Stock

I got a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T 32GB running ICS 4.0.4 LF2 stock. I have recently rooted my phone with CWM by following the specific root guide for I9300T. Now i want to install my first Omega V-11 rom.

Can anyone please help me with it as i got bit different phone than international i9300. Also is it a got stable & longer battery features? I am very new into the custom rom. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] yldlj:
Its the same as international phone.
[Galaxy S III General] rurikc:
CSC file for Australia (XSA) ?

It is not about APN. I used that just as an example.

Yes, this was my original question: Where do I find one ? (I've searched around and been unable to find any)

Yes, via the *#272*_DEVICE_IMEI_# code but only if the CSC is already present (e.g. in multipacks). On my phone XSA is missing.

Yes, I am aware of this.

I am glad that it worked for you but it doesn't for me. So, with all due respect, the fact that it works for you doesn't help me at all. Now if you would tell me how to delete un-deletable bookmarks that would be another story ...

As I stated before, I have some bookmarks that are un-deletable (this is just another example).

So my question still stands:

Could someone please tell me where can I find a CSC file for Australia ? (XSA)

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
One weird thing i have noticed is that I cant watch Mobile Foxtel on LG8. It keeps saying there is a service issue. I wonder if this app only works on i9300T models or on Telstra/XSA firmwares only.

I have the XSA CSC on my slate pc but my sister borrowed it while she is overseas. I am trying to find the link for you and I remember it took me ages to find it.

EDIT: XSA CSC Only - Link:

[Galaxy S III General] aponbangla:
Thanks for the reply. Will it show GT-I9300T after flashing Omega rom or it will become I9300?
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
I dont think it changes.

When i flashed the i9300T ROM (even though it didnt work) it still said i9300 on bootup.
[Galaxy S III General] yldlj:
Not too sure. On my s2 it changed from I9100T to I9100. Im on a cm10 ROM and it still says I9300T
[Galaxy S III General] Comoman:
Here is a link to the latest XSA Rom including the CSC. Note the DOT as I can't post links yet :(

samsung-updatesDOTcom/fw/Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I9300_XSA_1_20120710170916_9xjds9h0pm.zip
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
I would use the full XSA ROM but its too out of date compared to the latest UK PDA and it installs more bloat than OXA (BTU)

Unless you really need the XSA CSC, I would just stick with the full LG8 UK ROM and make sure BTU CSC is enabled by *#272#IMEI# that way your always up-to-date with the latest firmware and you can receive OTA updates from Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] Comoman:
What I did was install the full XSA ROM, change my CSC to XSA (which it wasn't). I then installed the latest UK Rom LG8 and my CSC stayed XSA.

I needed the XSA Rom to enable Telstra HD. It appeared many other CSC's didn't enable it.
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
I didnt realise XSA enabled Telstra HD Voice. Are you sure it does? Do you have an i9300 or i9300T?
[Galaxy S III General] Comoman:
I have a i9300 (not T). And yes WD-AMR definitely enabled. *#197328640# option 8 shows WB-AMR setting: ON and UMTS WB: ON

Both my wife and I have 9300's and I must say the HD sounds really great when we call each other.
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
Interesting... i might try this out. Too bad 99% of my family and friends use Optus and Vodafone. Telstra HD on works with Telstra to Telstra calls :(
[Galaxy S III General] zziggy:
I only changed modems To BLFB. Seems to have better battery life so far.
[Galaxy S III General] rurikc:
Many thanks for the link. :highfive: , no worries about no active link, I am in the same boat ;)

Yes I found this and installed the firmware with Odin.

Interestingly it did not delete anything at all except:

- removed root (I had to re-root the phone)

- wiped all CSC codes except one (!) but anyway I still don't have the XSA

So it appears that it does not have any CSC code inside (!) :(
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
I posted the CSC link a few posts up.. just flash the CSC with Odin. You might need to factory reset in order to get the CSC working.

I flashed mine using sammobile xsa link and my CSC shows the XSA one. Seems to work fine. Was thinking of flashing to stock UK version though for faster updates.
[Galaxy S III General] rurikc:
Thank you. :)

However this looks odd:

1. Inside it's a kernel boot image "boot.img", only 4 MB or so in size.

2. Other CSC files (e.g. from Intratech https://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneCSC3) are about 110MB in size and contain a "cache.img" and "hidden.img" -- intuitively looks to me as more "what to expect".

Are you really sure that your links are CSC files ?

Regards.
[Galaxy S III General] Comoman:
Definitely does have the XSA CSC inside - it's exactly what I used. I suggest doing a full factory reset/clear cache using Clockwork before installing the ROM using Odin. Then the first screen upon boot is select your language and choose English (Australia). This then seemed to install the XSA CSC.
[Galaxy S III General] aponbangla:
I had a Samsung galaxy note GT-N7000B before & I could never restore it to N7000B once I flashed a custom ROM. I am very cautious now with my S3 I-9300T.

As far as I know not yet. If you have a look at faryaab twitter posts, he said the following:

So time will tell which and what featire he will add in over the next week..

Apparently he has stopped work on his other 'Preview Rom - AOKP', it was just for testing perposes. I has this installed and it had a lot of tweaking options including the ones u mentioned above.

Thanks so much. Having using it for a few hours now I am just trying to work out what it is offerring above the other JB ROMs. Speed is similar to others but I am not getting: notification toggles, battery percentage and no ability to change lockscreen settings. I dare not say this in the thread for fear of a firey reprisal but can't see why I would stay on this ROM! Maybe if future builds have these things.
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
If you want notification toggles, search 'notification toggle' on the Play Store.
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Yes I can install all these things on Playstore - just trying to work out why they wouldn't be on there in the first place!
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
Yeah I don't fully understand either, as I doubt they'd affect stability too much - particularly toggles and the battery percentage. Oh well, as said above, I'm sure it'll be updated to include them :)
[Galaxy S III General] Pete7ate:
So have people noticed any speed increases with LFB on optus/virgin on I9300
[Galaxy S III General] Simmo3D:
I wonder when the stock XSA ROM will get an update to LFB or LG8
[Galaxy S III General] zziggy:
It is because AOSP does not include notification toggles. They are added in by Samsung. cm9 / cm10 add them also. More flexibility with the market apps anyway. Morequicklypanel and morequicklydock is a good combo.
[Galaxy S III General] niczoom:
Morequicklypanel looks promising! The only problem at the moment is support for Jellybean, as JBean is new a lot of the current tweaks are just supporting it.

The toggles that were included in the AOKP rom seemed more integrated than ones from market apps, seems that most (all)? market apps can not integrate as well as the baked in ones? Like all the battery status ones, they can only be shown on the left of the status bar and have to have a notification panel as well, I like mine on the right (eg: battery mods and date mods) this i assume can only be achieved by being rooted and manipulting the systemui.apk??
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Well I tried notification toggle from Playstore and have been pretty impressed with it. Works pretty seemessly. Yes I think most battery third party apps will park it on the left of the notification bar.
