[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muke88:
Hi, I am from Australia with Optus carrier. I don't like the optus start-up logo, it looks bad. I wanna get rid of it and heard that I would need to flash a stock rom from Samsung. The question is: I am from Australia and I haven't seen any Australian Roms for Galaxy S3. I saw that there are like UK ones and Algerian, but I would wish to have the Australian debranded stock rom, if possible. Or if that's not available, the international stock rom, however I haven' found any. Do you know what I should do? Once I have the stock rom, I still can get updates and so on, right?

Also, I was wondering if I hard reset my phone I have atm, which is branded, will it turn to the unbranded? Really doubt it, tho who knows.

Cheers

If your phone is modelled as gt - i9300 its possible to flash any rom for the device for example international stock rom. Look roms from sammobile web sites.

I actually found the Australian unbranded firmware:

Australia ......... Unbranded ......... »» XSA »» I9300XXALE8/I9300XSAALE6/I9300XXLE8/I9300XXALE8

Using Check Fus downloader 2.1, you can download it and other firmwares. Details can be found here.

The Fus downloader fails to download it tho, it crashes. Is there anyway to download it directly from the server? Or what am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LJE:
What have samsung done? Im kinda lost for words right now.

My opinion is that Samsung/android killed the iphone 4S with the SGSII, (even though only a small % of people realized it) but have they killed the need for devs with the SGSIII?

I took the day off work "sick" (it makes me think im not a complete slave to the machine) and once my wife dropped the boys at school and went to work, i jumped on my bike and went for a ride.

I cut it short. After about 45 mins I pulled up home and couldn't get my SGSIII out of my pocket fast enough. (I had to put it back in my pocket to get my helmet off)

It's been rooted and CWM is installed and im just itching for a good ROM to hit the threads, then it hit me.... does it need much done to it? I don't mean customizing it, but tweaking it.

My X10 was the first smart phone i owned and I couldn't get custom roms and kernels on it fast enough. And until a week ago I was flashing roms on it every 24 hours trying to get the most out of the limited ram it had ;)

But to be honest, I haven't felt one bit of lag with everything iv'e done to the SGSIII...(still with bloatware) Iv'e bought a few resource hungry games from the market and it's killed em all.... I feel so f**king happy but also let down that a custom rom isn't "really" needed.

Does it need tweaks? apart from getting good bench mark scores?

I'm thinking that I might be happy with just a kernel which i can undervolt a bit to push the battery life a bit more...

One problem with the X10 roms is that a lot were just themed with the same scripts used from different roms... Hopefully that doesn't happen here and there are just a handful of GREAT roms to choose from.. My opinion is that Samsung have KILLED it.. well done

Am i tripping? What do you guys think. Can/should more be pushed out of the phone?

Maybe it's time for game developers to start pushing the limits?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johku12:
For now it may seem so but custom roms offer more than just better performance and in the future apps evolve to more recource hungry ones etc so customising may be needed or handy at least..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LJE:
Yeah I agree, anything with a gig of ram or less will soon feel like a Nokia 5210 lol...

And I have no doubt the devs here could/will bring out some roms that are twice as good. It just feels like Samsung are fighting two classes below their weight limit haha ;)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ankush911:
Hi

I am from India and I connected my phone to kies and its saying that new firmware version is available.

Before upgrading I have few questions in mind. Is ICS is working fine on Note. I Heard may people saying that its freezing and consuming more battery and Wi Fi not working.

Have anybody upgraded Note to ICS in India..Hows the reviews..Any problem with phone you guys are facing.

Thanks in Advance

Ankush
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belfia:
Well some people have problems, ICS aint exactly bug free. But you can avoid most problems if you do a factory reset before upgrading. Then you will have a clean system but you will also loose all apps etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chintamanijaipuri:
I am using stock ICS in India.

In my opinion Its better than GB, Better battery life, Better performance.

I updated via OTA.

Before updating i recommend you to perform a full wipe/factory reset.

After Update I rooted my phone using Dr. Ketans Method. Uninstalled all the Samsung crap-ware. Flashed Hardcore speedmod Kernel. Wiped Two three times. Some Recharge discharge cycle.

Now my note is running Butter smooth & leg free.

Good luck! Enjoy your note.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ankush911:
Thanks for help

I really don't want to root it , Just checked once I connected the phone to kies that there is a update ready to install.

few ques again

1.)How to reset my phone to factory default settings ?

2.)What are the changes in ICS

Thanks in advance

Ankush
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chintamanijaipuri:
To reset your phone go to settings - backup & restore - reset.

Or

Switch off the phone, after 1 min press and hold vol up+home+power key until you see recovery screen. Choose factory reset/data wipe...

DO IT BEFORE UPDATING TO ICS....

hi everyone,recently i flashed my Arc with generic 4.0.4 France firmware,

yesterday,"original" SI number for My Arc showed on the update list (1246-8416) and i decided to downgrade to GB (4.0.2.A.0.42) first and after that updating to my "original" SI number,

strangely,after done flashing,my Arc still on ICS even though i already flashed it TWICE with Indonesian GB firmware (4.0.2.A.0.42),

Any ideas to safely downgrade to Indonesian GB firmware??

[Galaxy S II Android Development] exynoss:
How to flash a kernel?

There are different ways of flashing a kernel, but the one I use is through CWM, because I do not trust ODIN, simple as that

Step 1: Download Kernel Cleaning Script if your coming from a different kernel and flash it before flashing the new kernel. If it's just an upgrade of the same kernel, wipe cache and dalvik before flashing.

Step 2: Flash desired kernel.

Step 3: Wipe Cache and Dalvik once kernel is done flashing.

Step 4: Reboot System.

You should run Kernel Cleaning Script for better result before changing kernal

Now question is what is Kernel Cleaning Script

Answer - The script cleans the left over files of a kernel, to prevent issues or compatibility problems when switching between kernels, kinda like Ccleaner for windows.

It does a cache wipe / dalvik cache wipe and a few other operations, basically it does the maintenance job for you, no need to manually do those tasks before flashing a new kernel.

Installation guide:

1. Download the zip file from the link Below.

2. Place the file on your internal SD-CARD.

3. Restart to ClockWorkMod Recovery.

4. Install the zip like any other package.

5. Install the Kernel of your choice.

6. Reboot the device.

7. DONE!

can i just flash any firmware from here

or do i have to get the KC1 only?

i want to upgrade to gingerbread and KC1 is only there for 2.2 froyo.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dxppxd:
The firmware's baseband indicates the region and android version it was released for. So, the same baseband has the same android version.

You can flash any firmware you like with Odin as long as it's compatible with your phone. Its recommended to try and Flash a firmware with an updated android version.

Just go to Samfirmware (or Sammobile, don't remember) and locate your region an phone model. You can also use checkfus downloader.

[About XDA developers] ChicaAndroid:
I think it's allright and something you can live with, for 30 posts. They say in their FAQ that limiting posts is the only way to control spammers (well, one of their ways) and chaos.

30 is NOT that much, when I came to this thread I tought I was to find some limit of 100 posts and THAT would be annoying.

If you plan to stay in the community, 30 posts are ok and 2 minutes are bearable. Just MY opinion :D

Hey guys, I have a problem. I bought a Sony Xperia Play, the Verizon version on ebay and it works like a champ. But Its on 2.3.3 and I really want it on 2.3.4! The phone has no service so I cant update it to the 2.3.4 over the connection. Please, there must be a way to download the 2.3.4 update for the R800x version and flash it to the phone.

Trust us r800x users when we say you do not want 2.3.4. It sucks, stay with 2.3.3. Also, I'm certain that verizon scraped the update because they screwed it up so badly.(bad service, if any, no wifi, massive compatibility issue with apps, etc.) I myself went back to 2.3.3 because 2.3.4 was so bad.

Thought I would chime in here. Not sure why every one is hating on stock 2.3.4. Oh wait yea I do lol. Anyway if your not using the phone part itself instead of paying to unlock you could just root and try Gin2Ics. I know the theme works on stock 2.3.4 but the dialer and contacts are messed up and no service as well as battery stats being broke. There is also a 2.3.4 ftf file now in the dev section.

There is another thread in the dev section where they are trying to port some stuff to the vzw 2.3.4.
