Stock .62, cleaned of any bloatware, 100% supercharged... currently I'm modding it and themeing, great performance, lots of RAM, smooth and good battery.

I'll try to make a perfect combination (I'll mod Big Pack 3.1 to my taste, change Settings layout, add Xperia S lockscreen with music player, change statusbar and notification bar, fix bugs etc.)...

If I success maybe I'll put a nandroid on XDA (or learn how to make a ROM xD... currently my maximum is editing apk lol).

But my favorite themer hasn't released his CM9 theme yet so I jumped over to MIUI v4 in the mean time and I'm loving it.

Hi, I can't post on the other forum because I'm a new user so I'm kinda forced to start a new thread here requesting help. Can anyone guide me through the process of installing the Objection rom? I'm new to the whole smart phone deal, the note is actually the first smart phone i own, BUT I'm not a total n00b when it comes to technology.

I did read the guide provided in the post of the rom, but it's not really n00b friendly. Especially step 3, I downloaded the rom, but where's the kernels? the wipe zips? anyways, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Oh, will installing this rom root the phone as well?

1) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CWM RECOVERY **

2) The ROM Will Wipe Your Data!

3) MAKE SURE ROM,KERNELS,WIPE ZIPS ARE ALL IN YOUR SD CARD INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL.

4) REBOOT YOUR PHONE INTO RECOVERY VIA HOLDING POWER + VOLUME UP & DOWN AT THE SAME TIME AND DON`T HOLD IT FOR MORE THEN 5 SECONDS.

5) WIPE Data/cache if You want! IT always helps!

6) INSTALL ICS Objection ROM WHICH WILL BE ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE WITH LATEST TWEAKS & HACKS.

If you don't have root follow this:

http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717attrogerstelusbell/

After root

Download the rom

Put it in a folder of your choice in the phone's internal SD or external SD

Put your phone into recovery by holding the volume up and down and power for 5 seconds until screen turns off and then a first vibration.

Let go of power but have volume up and down still held

Wait for 2 vibrations when the samsung SGH i171 splash comes on, then let go of volume buttons.

You should now be in CWM recovery.

You can make a backup first, scroll down to back up and restore and then backup and then yes.

Then follow the instructions or appdroid's video below

Hello there guys, not long ago I've started fighting against this Go Theme's Factory application to get my first theme done and I'm having some issues which I'll describe you, and I hope you can give me a hand with ;)

1) No matter what home menu background I choose, those little lines separating each icon won't dissapear.

http*//postimage*org/image/pfr3r1iup/

Does anyone have any idea on how to eliminate those white lines?

2) And about the theme's icons, I've seen many Go Launcher EX themes that contain several custom icons on the icon selection list that do NOT refer to any application or apk. For example, some themes contain more than 1 icon for the browser so you can choose the one that you like most. So the question is: How do I add custom icons to my Go Launcher EX's icon selection list that do not refer to a specific application (apk) ? In other words, what I want is to be able to add a custom browser icon to the icon selection list, without having to refer 'that' icon to the browser application or apk.

Thank you very much for your time and patience while reading this!!!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deusdies:
Today I wanted to see what the JellyBean for SGS III is like so I made a nandroid backup of my current setup. After playing with JB for a while, I wanted to restore the backup, but I was greeted with an error message.

I've been messing with this the entire F****** day and so far I've isolated the file that is corrupted (it's /system/app/Keystring_factory.apk).

So I need to delete that file from within the archive. The problem is how do I do that? When I try to copy the file to my computer, it hangs on it and says "corrupted file" (tried windows explorer but also total commander). I am able to open the archive on my SGS III using something like ZArchiver, but it doesn't have the option to delete the file from within the archive.

Help?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
U can extract cwm with titanium backup or use a file explorer to extract the backup and delete the file then zip it.

But I would flash a new Rom and extract cwm with TB and restore the parts u need with TB.then when all is good make a new backup.

I don't think it's a good idea to restore a corrupted file even if u find the errors

Btw. Fayaab has tweeted that he is going to release a JB for gs3 tomorrow and this should be working
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deusdies:
Tried that too, Titanium got stuck at the file. 7-Zip got stuck even when "Testing Archive". I'll write the file off as corrupt. Interestingly enough, the data.ext4.tar is also corrupt. Does this mean it's a time for a new microSD card? Or is it CWM that's writing corrupt files somehow?

what a fantastic comparison! puts most major websites and publications to shame.

as i have both i can say the conclusion is 100% spot on. initially i was disappointed with the shots straight out my S3 in comparison to my 4S, but the various settings, tweaks and adjustments means that it has more potential than the 4S can ever have - and can constantly outperform the 4S in any given situation.

Galaxy S3 con Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III General] NaimC:
I did ponder on this myself for some time. Why the uproar? Why the backlash?

I chalk it up to a few things.

Firstly, default extreme low light results can sometimes be fairly questionable. To get the most out of it you need to tinker. In this respect the 4S is more reliable. You're more likely to get a sharper, better exposed photo off the bat on default settings with the 4S. With the S3 there's a bit more of a time investment.

Secondly, the screen size of the 4S makes photos appear more impressive than they actually are. Any super high ppi small screen is going to mask noise and other imperfections. It's only when you transfer things on to a Mac/PC that you see how similar or comparable the results really are. Also at present the S3 does have a mild case of black crush, which can extenuate worse exposure results by making them seem worse than they actually are.

Lastly, expectations for the S3 seem to be almost too high. People are expecting a game changing level of camera performance, which unfortunately just isn't the case. In fairness, considering Samsung pushed a larger screen and HD this time too, perhaps they should have concentrated on making the camera more ground breaking, but for the time being, it's at least comparable with some of the best. Lest we forget, the flash is super powerful (ousts the 4S's with ease) as is the daylight or decent light performance. In good light, the camera sharpness and accuracy is quite astonishing.
[Galaxy S III General] gedster314:
Great, you just have proven that I need a 4S and a S3. Some shots I like the S3 better and other Shots I like the 4S better. Can someone just come out with an app that shoots in RAW and let me adjust it on my own. I really do not want to carry my DSLR everywhere.

Thanks for the comparison.
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
Nope, the OP has the "supremely inferior Samsung module" as noted in the ZDF- firmware called out in the topic heading.

And so there you have it, a bunch of interweb hullabaloo by a bunch of people screaming bloody murder... with little to no comparative data/proof. That's why the OP of this thread deserves so much praise... he actually took the time to not just claim something, but post up data backing it up. Thanks again OP.
[Galaxy S III General] penfold:
i posted my comparison a few days ago on the other thread between the GD and the ZD sensor, the ZD came out better in low light shots with the stock software, the GD has a warmer smoother look and with stock cam is hard to focus in low light, i think something to do with the zero lag shutter is preventing the autofocus from actually focusing ....i would rather it took a second longer and actually focused before shooting.

This is evident with other third party apps that use autofocus and take a second or less to focus before shooting ...the shots are in focus and sharper.

(the ZD sensor had no trouble focusing in low light)

btw, using 'camera FV-5' with contrast +1 and sharpness +1 and EV 0 / - 0.5 will give u shots as they should be by default, with a little more contrast and sharpness .....so yeah, samsung really could improve the cam software
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
Thanks for the heads up comparison, good stuff. This will help to dispel the nonsensical generalization from the other thread... about how "Samsung pulled a fast one" and how the "Z- firmware sensor is the bane of mankind."

People in the industry know better. Dual sourcing for any major component is almost a necessity nowadays if you are to ensure COS (Continuity Of Supply) with any major product launch. Single sourcing, while still required for certain components that only have 1 source, is almost never the first option.

So yes, this will ultimately lead to two different sensor modules. While there will be +/-'s between the two sensors, it won't be day and night as some people are espousing it to be.
[Galaxy S III General] Aimara:
you might want to include that aperture size is different between these two phone , a critical point
[Galaxy S III General] NIK516:
From what i read in the disassembly of the s3 it has the same sensor as the 4s its just the 4s has a larger aperture ( meaning it will be better in low light ) also the glass on the lens is better ( meaning it will be sharper throughout the whole aperture range.

Happy to be wrong but the hardware is better on the 4s , so its all up to software and algorithms to process the information.
[Galaxy S III General] Aimara:
its a newer model sensor then ip4s , speculations that its similar is not true
[Galaxy S III General] eyecon82:
which is newer, the sony or samsung?
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
I doubt one is newer than the other. Looks like Samsung launched the SGS3 dual sourced on the camera module, probably needed it due to the sheer pre-order numbers.
[Galaxy S III General] Aimara:
based on this link posted http://image-sensors-world.blogspot.sg/2012/06/samsung-galaxy-s3-camera-supply-chain.html, not sure if its true too , isnt ip4s using mx145 sony modules ?http://www.chipworks.com/en/technic...nsor-and-touch-screen-controllers-identified/

also better to wait for chipworks to confirm the model sensor on S3 , if you came across any info , do update here
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
That's interesting, I've seen this discussed as well in the other thread... that the 8MP Sony module is the same in both. If so, that would make this an even more accurate comparison.
[Galaxy S III General] NaimC:
Apologies for not doing the firmware comparison yet. Been a bit tied up but will get around to it soon.
[Galaxy S III General] Aimara:
you might be mistaken its different 8 mp sony module , samsung is using a new 8mp sensor (look at step 12)http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Teardown/9391/2
