[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
With the One XL/X/S: The camera blows away the S3 as soon as you flash a mod that disable's HTC's retarded JPEG compression, and double the video bitrate to achieve parity with the S3, with a possible max of 42 Mbps for maximum video quality. HTC's engineers really went the extra mile with the camera's hardware, with the sensor being from the Galaxy S2, and with an optic system that vastly outpaces the S3. The shallow depth of field actually allows for shots that can look professional, and the imagechip allows faster autofocus and better burst shot mode than the S3 (yes, the S3 can capture photos faster, but it tends to be out of focus if you didn't start in focus.) and the F/2.7 aperture of the S3 means that it will be getting 70% less light all the time. Of course, a narrower aperture does make for more parts of the photo to be in focus, but that really doesn't matter compared to low light capability.

how is multitasking a issue in 4.5 inc phone is my question. Only people who use the phone all day might experience this as a issue. You can easily run 3 applications at a time even without rooting. isn't that enough?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SirFork:
I have the one x, wife just bought the s3. While the s3 is cheap looking in pictures, it feels very solid in your hand. The battery cover feels a bit flimsy but in all it feels nice. The screen seems more protected with the brushed metal edges. But neither phone is better in design. The screens themselves the one x wins easily. The s3 display renders the color black better, but the screen is darker than the one x and has a sort of bluish tint to it. Colors are more vibrant on the one x which is a shame for the s3 which could potentially have more true to life color to it but the hue just seems off. As for software, the one x has lag in some places as does the s3. No surprise here as the performance should be identical due to hardware. If multitasking is such a huge deal the s3 is the way to go, but this issue is overblown in my opinion. Only time it is an issue is with the web browser reloading pages for me. Keep in mind the battery will suffer depending on what applications you keep in memory. Battery life is worried about too much on any phone. The aggressive memory management on the one x makes me feel better about the one x for battery life. Cameras are both damn good. The software for the camera on the one x is superior. Touch wiz is more average user friendly while sense feels more professional and also will appeal to enthusiasts more, save for the impatient flashaholics who need a million roms to flash a week after the phone's release. Neither phone is better than the other, it's only a matter of preference. Anyone who says otherwise is either a fanboy or looking for a pissing match

Stay away from sgsiii at all costs!!!!

Personally, I've been (up to this point) an avid Samsung customer. I have had the Infuze 4G, Skyrocket (backup phone), and now the Note (soon to be another backup or sale item), and there is one blaring issue that I have with Samsung... THEY SUCK FOR UPDATING THEIR DEVICES!!! The software updates approved by AT&T/Samsung have crippled all 3 devices. First, the software updates OTA for the Infuze kept changing the clock, and this was on 4 different devices, so I went to the Skyrocket. Well, the software update in February for "performance enhancement" made the device unreliable (I could receive a call then nothing for 4 hours and people were trying to reach me and I'd get voicemails all at once, same with text messages). That was on 2 brand new devices, so we went to the Note. Well, the official release of ICS for this device makes the GPS unreliable, if not completely unusable because it will not get a lock on any GPS signal. This is a known issue with Samsung, well documented, and there is no intent on resolving the issue. I went to Samsung support and their response was to purchase the SGSIII. Well, with a company that is more intent on pushing new hardware and not supporting the existing hardware, I would not recommend them to ANYONE.

Personally, I'm getting the One X today and not looking back. Nothing can be worse than my experience with Samsung support and their software glitches.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wirbelz:
Although S3 software is prob better, One X hardware is phenomenal ... especially the screen and build quality.

Software gets replaced either way, and the screen and build quality swayed me more than storage/battery options. Cloud storage is a great alternative and I hate how cheap the S3 feels.

Both are good phones, but I wanted the best hardware and felt like One X topped S3 in ways that mattered to me.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
Honestly speaking, the battery is not a huge issue. On the One X it will be an issue because it's hard for pretty much everyone to change a dying battery, but as long as it is easy to replace within the space of 5-10 minutes without destroying the phone in the process, it isn't a big deal.

The only big issue is storage, but if the One XL had 32 gigs of internal NAND, it wouldn't be a serious problem...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
I wonder if you can pop it open and upgrade the storage mem.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dc82:
I wondered that myself too. I had a Trophy back in the day and opened it up and plopped in a 32gb class 10 card and the phone was much snappier on top of obviously having more storage capacity. It was an easy mod.

Edit: after looking at some teardown pics and reading some reviews it looks like it's a NAND chip, not a microSD. Thanks HTC.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Guster730:
I'd take the one x over the GS3 any day. I went to the AT&T store and just put the two phones next to eachother. Oh my god, the galaxy s3's screen is TERRIBLE, on its highest brightness it looked like the One X's lowest. Everything looked blurry, dark, and blue. Also, the body was a very crappy shiny plastic, it felt super flimsy compared to the One X's body. Now I did notice it was slightly snappier, but with the 4.0.4 update to the One X, it's the same if not faster. The only advantage the S3 has is that you can add more memory which is nice. I'm fine with 16GB myself because I don't put videos on my phone, just music. I just stream Netflix and whatnot.

The only reason someone should get a S3 is if you really need more storage otherwise it's absolutely terrible.

Source is out... Close thread One x wins...GG....

jkjk both phones are neck and neck. Only things that would sway a buyer to one side are all subjective.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Two things I miss from my one X. The screen and this community.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
Really my issues with the AT&T One X are that they probably need to have spacers on the antenna connectors, not having an extra 16 gigs to work with, lacking an extra 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM to work with to compensate for the S4 reserving too much RAM, and the design of the phone requiring complete disassembly to just remove the battery.

Out of all those complaints, only one is an unfixable issue, and the other is more of insurance against issues that cropped up in the international version. The rest are theoretically easy to do at the assembly line but require more money to do so.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MyronJ906:
Plus one dude. Plus one. I love the people over here and the SGS3 threads are not even close to the same. I can't think of anything I would miss on the S3 if I were to do another swap.

I find that I pretty much never use my external SD since I got so used to not having one. 2 GB ram, big freaking deal.

I think the One X is about to explode in a good way.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Andrews0508:
With source coming out yesterday, it's no contest for me. The screen on the Galaxy S III is abysmal. Also, Pebble Blue is butt-ugly, and I don't want a white phone. The One X just has the best design out there.

Abysmal is a strong word. It's not as good as the One X, but it isn't abysmal.

Aw, you abandoned the One X? Sadface.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PaKMaN787:
Now that source is out I have to definitely side with the One X. I don't like that there's no removable battery or extra space but it adds to the gs3's inferior build quality. Also double the ram is great but with both on stock and even unofficial jb I wasn't noticing much of a difference. The screen is about the same size but whites are whiter and it's brighter on the one x. Pebble blue is kind of ugly but that's minor. The placement of the power button may be something too. The cameras are quite comparable. I think that's everything I remember. I know its all been covered just wanted to cover everything.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Yeah I did. I'm still around though. Hell I may even be back :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] atticusmas:

I'll add that the att sgsiii has awful development
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tomatoes8:
Honestly, the Xperia S was better than the One X so you can do the math on how it compares to the GS3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
SGS3 has software issues, poor build quality, and touchwiz(pathetic).

HOX has few if any software issues, great build quality, and sense(robust and works fine).

If you need sd card go with the Sammy.

If not, the HOX is already a champ and will reach even greater heights now that kernel source is released.

Experia S better than HOX? Come on guy, now you just sound silly.

I used to be an AMOLED guy, but black levels aren't everything, and the One X has spoiled me. I can't ever look at a PenTile screen the same way after seeing the S-LCD 2. Bottom line; it fails to produce a true white, and over-saturates colors. I think abysmal fits, after taking a good look at it. I was seriously considering returning my HOX until I saw the screen on the GSIII at the AT&T store.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joho5:
Agreed. It's not as good but it's not terrible. It's still high density and high res. And I don't see how everyone keeps talking about the brightness. I leave mine on auto, but manually about 45 percent is fine. If I turn it up all the way it looks stupid its so bright.

It's obvious if this thread originates in the one x section, what kind of answers you'll get.

I've had both phones, and both are awesome.

For me the s3 wins the overall phone.

Twice as much ram cannot be ignored i don't care what anyone says and it shows when multitasking through the phone. Of anything, just future proofing the phone just a bit.

Being able to switch batteries get a bigger one, change out a dud, etc

And the sd card swap.

These are huge things and I know they are downplayed but come on...

The screen wins on one x, no doubt.

Just my opinion. I love both phones and have used both extensively. I'd still use both as a daily driver. I traded from one x to s3 just to check it out and there isn't a huge regret or a need to want to come back. I mean source and unlocked bootloader started with the s3.

Anyways just my opinion.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joho5:
I'm not to big on judging the build either, but the multitasking is an issue. It wasn't to me until I used the gs3 and noticed how much better it was. It's definitely not a big deal or even considered a deal breaker but it's definitely noticeable going from one to the other.

I always use a case on my phones and I think the s3 looks much better in a case (I have a diztronic) but the one x looks much better without a case.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeartFan40:
We have too many GS3 vs HOX threads, so all duplicates are being closed.

Hi, I have CSL MI 410, rooted and installed with MIUI, & i have been really stupid that i didn't take backup of Recovery Image before rooting.

I want to go back to Stock OS now and i need the Stock recovery image for that.

Can someone please help me with getting the Recovery image?

Also, if i use the SUT LR to install the Stock OS, do i need the Stock Recovery?
[Huawei Ideos X6] wesleyel:
Using SUT LR to install or flash stock OS will automatically replace the recovery image file to the stock recovery image file you are looking for.

Also try to learn to search this forum properly. You will find out that Most of your the questions you have has already been answered.

There is no recovery file in system/bin and in rom manager when i reboot into recovery I get the red font error E:failed to verify whole-file

I am a noob to linux however I have been trying to understand it for a year so its starting to make some sense but very complicated .

I have read numerous threads but am having troubles finding the right way to get this to work, so If someone could point me in the right direction I will be very grateful.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hawkoner:
I figured it out on my own. Now I can properly reboot into recovery without any error messages.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
odin/heimdall flash the root kernel or any other custom recovery 2.3 kernel back to it. the recovery replacement is for froyo. gb keeps the recovery file in the initramfs i believe so it can't be permanantly replaced without extracting and repacking that part of the kernel image.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lexsupa:
you should simply install SGS kernel flasher and then flash the InfusionGB-CoreA2.zip kernel ! that will give you CWM. Working everytime for me ^^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nettech_gt:
Is there anyway to backup everything (all settings, all apps, all data, home screens, shortcuts, BT pairings etc.) on GB and have it perfectly restored after a new OS version upgrade (ICS) ? I have been researching this on various sites but can't find a clear answer. I know if I root my Note I can create a NANDROID backup image. But when restored it restores the OS as well. Correct? Or is there a way to restore a NANDROID backup with out restoring the OS? Or will using Titanium or My Backup Pro accomplish what I'm asking for? THANX!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
You are correct on nandroid, no way to do it without the OS. You will have to re set up all of your settings and bt pairings afaik. Titanium will restore all of your installed apps, but not how you had everything set up. As for texts, there are some SMS backup apps on the market. Some launchers also provide the ability to backup how you had them set up, but I'm not sure which ones, and if you're not using it currently it wouldn't do much good anyways. Also, if you're doing the update through kies, it will wrote everything off your phone, so be sure to transfer your photos to your computer before you do. Also, if you use titanium, you would have to transfer that file to your computer before using kies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] neko_tensai:
Maybe I'm repeating this... Titanium does not keep the settings? I dont particularly like Titanium because I want to select my important apps and do a batch backup to my SD card. I want it to keep the settings and logins too. Then, when I get a new rom, I can load the app, settings, log ins and everything.

Is this not possible?

I use 128 bit passwords that are about 30 characters long, so I end up texting myself my AndroidMarket password and using the online market to push the apps to the phone over wifi. Then I use USB to copy over a KeePass database and load KeePass Droid to start setting all my logins for VOIP, emails, media apps, etc. since it has a notification bar user/pswd dropdown to copy. It is more time consuming than I prefer, it makes it impossible to really try new roms that often, keepass makes it at least bearable.

Would you care to tell me how people manage to use nightly builds and things of that nature while not spending hours plugging in all the settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Titanium restores app data.

The first batch of each sub section is what i use.

Backup:

Backup all user apps

Restore:

Restore missing apps with data

Theoretically you could backup all system data that appears with green txt I'm the list of programs in tibu, which would include things such as Wi-Fi password and bt pairings i believe.

but if you were to have issues by restoring that, because restoring system data can be funky sometimes, you'd have to factory reset and start over, so that part is up to you.

I don't do anything other than the batches i mentioned above.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darknoon77:
If you are upgrading ICS from a stock GB then you won't lose your app, its data and contact.

But settings, home keys and shortcuts will be initiated.

I don't know how to back it up but I usually screen shot those and then just redo when I have a new rom installed. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] electron73:
Well... here we go.

First up, SORRY everyone for my long-ish absence after just having gotten so active around here with my last ROM. My "real" work demanded a 14 day business trip to Germany where I had (unfortunately) absolutely no time for Android and so I totally missed the UCLF6 update etc. Now that I'm back I found a few requests in my PM inbox from people asking for another version of "my" Rom, which of course given the ample selection of really good Roms from highly respected Dev's already being available, is somewhat flattering and being more on the "Stock-ish" side myself, I decided to give you the successor to my barely modded, just deodexed and zipaligned ROM:

Here is (many thanks to Flapp for the deodexed base with his kernel already added in!) my LEGO ROM UCLF6. A bare base with add-on zips for everyone's taste.

The BASE ROM is here (already includes new UCLF6 modem and tethering hack for unlimited wifi and bluetooth tethering):

http://electron73.org/XDA/UCLF6/Electron_stock_deodexed_zipaligned_UCLF6.zip

MD5 Sum (to insure no download errors happen!):

http://electron73.org/XDA/UCLF6/Electron_stock_deodexed_zipaligned_UCLF6.md5

Pure STOCK kernel (stock boot anim etc.) - For whoever doesn't like the glowing android logo of the included kernel in the ROM:

http://electron73.org/XDA/UCLF6/Electron_stock_kernel_UCLF6.zip

15 Toggle Mod with blue battery:

http://electron73.org/XDA/UCLF6/Electron_15toggle_blueBatt_UCLF6.zip

CRT OFF animation:

http://electron73.org/XDA/UCLF6/Electron_CRT_UCLF6.zip

S-Voice Add-on (all required libs included):

http://electron73.org/XDA/UCLF6/Electron_SVoice_UCLF6.zip

Samsung boot sound (replaces the AT&T sound. Note: The kernel has a hardcoded animation, so the samsung animation doesn't show, instead it's a glowing ANDROID logo):

http://electron73.org/XDA/UCLF6/Electron_Samsung-Bootlogo_Sound.zip

And last but not least, for everyone interested in tinkering, here is all the removed BLOAT in one zip. files in "system_app" need to be installed with a root file manager by simply copying them to the /system/app dir. files in "system_etc_vpl" can be installed by simply running them like any other application to be installed.

http://electron73.org/XDA/UCLF6/BLOAT.ZIP

To install the ROM, copy it to the external SD card and install with CWM recovery. If you have my UCLF5 ROM (the direct predecessor to this ROM) then you DO NOT NEED to wipe data, caches etc. Simply install and reboot.

If you are coming from a DIFFERENT ROM, then you MUST wipe cache, dalvik and (for good measure) the data partition (full factory reset, then restore your apps with TiBu etc.)

Hope this comes in handy. As always, I can't be held liable for anything you do with this. Use common sense, backups, caution etc. It works for me and UCLF6 runs great so far :)
