Thanks for the reply man! The dev phone just may be an option but I really don't feel like forking over $600 when I can go to Sprint on a cheaper plan and have an unlocked bootloader....either way, I have 10 more days to return my phone and cancel my contract if I need to. And btw, I sent a long email to Verizon asking them if they will ever unlock the bootloader ( I read an article saying they may, then today read a article saying they wont. We'll see.) I also said that I may just cancel my contract and go to Sprint and ask them how they can "help" relieve this situation that alot of people are facing. I'll report back and let everyone know what their response is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
There's some erroneous replies so far, hopefully this will clear it up for you. Root or superuser, is a linux term, which basically provides you with admin rights. With root alone you can run WiFi tether, rename system apps, etc. Root is easily attainable on the Verizon S3, see the dev section for guides.

The S3 recovery partition is NOT signed. This allows us to install custom recoveries (i.e. ClockworkMod, TWRP, etc.) This is very different from say, a Moto phone that had to use bootstrap methods. The S3 can have a fully functioning recovery that will allow you to do backups, flash ROMs and Kernels, etc. Again, very easy to do, see dev section for guides (it's grouped with root).

What's currently being worked on is the "locked" bootloader. Basically we can write whatever we want to the various partitions, however, there is a security check being done that prevents altering various areas, like the boot.img. Right now there is a workaround where custom Kernels are flashed via the recovery partition (see recovery/kexec threads for more info).

There is no official CM9 or CM10 builds yet, but they are being worked on and there are bootable versions of both. Right now the RIL is the bigger issue as it's preventing data but that has nothing to do with the bootloader. The RIL is being worked on, no ETA.

tl;dr - The bootloader is still "locked" but there are already various workaround methods in place to allow for the flashing of custom recoveries, ROMs, Kernels, etc. Reading the guides in the dev section would be a great place to start understanding what's going on better.

This explains things alot better for me Thank you!!!. Im coming from a OG Droid that I rooted as soon as I got it so its been a while since I've been on the scene. I've kept up with the OG Droid Development for quite some time (which is basically nonexistent) so Im somewhat familiar with rooting and such just not familiar with this lock bootloader and such on my S3. Anyways, I still may just go to Sprint but havent made my mind up yet. And THANKS again for the very knowledgeable answer!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] YaBoiDKG97:
I have been looking through the forum trying out a few At&t Galaxy Note ROMs but i haven't tried an AOSP or CM9 ROM and I was wondering if anyone could show me the best one for the At&t Galaxy Note(battery life, customization, stability, everything working, MUST have a GREAT equalizer, and being lag free.):fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animatechnica:
really the bet one is what works for you - each of us have different standards and things we look for in a ROM - best bet is to try it yourself - takes less than 5 minutes to try out a ROM - start in the development thread

I've used Flapjaxx, Perfection and am now currently running AOCP - all worked great for me - some pluses and minuses on each one

but i could see using any of these as my daily driver
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dsp0704:
I can only say what i recommend as my daily driver is fj's stock by att carrier with h0tw1r3's oc kernel r2.. It is awesome fast. I tried aosp, cm9, hybrid, paranoid, but after all that i missed having spen. I don't use the pen much but when i do its at pretty crucial times. Im going to flash cm9 official right now to try it out but most likely won't keep it. So i advise try few roms for yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eugenekim618:
I have tried several CM9, AOSP, AOKP and Stock based ROMS. All of them have their merits and I give props to all the Devs who worked hard to make them.

But after trying at least one of each, my personal fav is JamieD's Paranoid Android ROM.

Great on battery, very very stable hybrid tablet interface.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Each ROM provides a different experience for everybody that uses it. The only way to find a "best ROM" is to try them all for yourself and see what is best for you. Anything that anybody tells you otherwise is wrong, as it is a matter of opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mechapanda:
:good:

but i kid

Solid words, i've personally poked around on FJ's line of stock roms, team perfection's objection, seraphim-mesosphere-remix, and official cm9, until i switched to cm9, i had always been switching back to fj's roms because of s-pen gestures, but i switched to the official cm9 nightlies and have been making due, all it takes is some back-up apps (if you have data to back up, things like titanium backup and mybackup or your preference [merely said those, because i use them]) and mess around, play with your phone, always good to have a full charge before you flash but not imperitive, and always remember when you switch between roms, make sure you wipe with double ply :3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Stampaufaz:
Personally loving fjs latest build but i really liked the hotwires build and cm9 have the nfc tagging for themes... I didn't get to test it out but that stuff is pretty cool. Just my opinion.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sinful Animosity:
I've been running Dagr8s King Kang and I will sing praises about that rom. I can't stand any stock based Rom, although I do wish I could use all the nice spen apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] byron84:
Official CM9 nightly has been the most stable for me so far, and it's very fast. The only thing I can complain about is home screen swiping lags a bit, and when long-pressing a home screen icon to move or delete it, if you have a lot of icons on the screen, this lags a LOT. Does not happen with different launchers. So far every launcher I have tried has something I don't like about it. The silkiest smoothest launcher I've used is sslauncher in The Collective's CP1 ROM. That whole ROM is very buttery smooth and I love its different style. I was very tempted to go back to that ROM from CM9, but so far CM9 has proven more reliable for me. This could just be ME though, as I've only been playing around with this for a couple days. A week ago, I was totally clueless about how to root a phone, how to use Odin/download mode/recovery, or even what any of that meant!

I think when we see these guys stress WIPE WIPE WIPE, it really does matter. I've taken the habit of wiping anything and everything I can, multiple times, before trying a new ROM. This has given me best results so far. I just keep my important stuff backed up on my computer, and I reinstall my apps manually. Not really a big deal, since I often find when reinstalling them, there are a bunch I had installed that I don't really want anymore anyway.

So, what is the BEST?

- If you want the stock ICS experience -> you can find 100% stock ROMs floating around for various carriers.

- If you want the stock experience but don't want the bloat -> XDA has delivered on this front too, there are a few variations of stock ICS with bloat removed, and a few simple really helpful things installed but no heavy customization.

- If you want the highest performance and customization -> The Collective - AoCP - CP1, CM9, Paranoid Android

Just compare the download size of the stock ROMs to the download size of the faster ones and you'll see!

I'm still a noob at this, so everything I said could be totally wack.

Icecoldsandwich , great ROM, very quick, fantastic battery

But...

Today it rebooted because of some unknown reason, Then it was because I inserted my already existing Sim card?

Any one have any thoughts ?

>Sol
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reinaldo33897:
Have you done a full wipe before flashing. Also are you running the cfs kernel because its known to have reboots which I deal with and don't mind. Try flashing the bfs kernel its more stable but battery is not as good as cfs. Both can be found in LCs kernel download page just place on sd then in recovery wipe dalvik then flash.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Sometimes after a random reboot it displays a dialog to restart because SIM is changed, but ignore that. Usually this happens with CFS kernel and rarely with BFS kernel. This isn't a problem with the kernels, rather something in the ROM is causing buggy behaviour with CFS.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaSol:
Changed to "BFS kernel" , no random restarts but changed back to the "CFS" due to networking errors ( phone switched to roaming mode of its own volition using "BFS" )

hello is thier anyway to set the gains of the volume for voice calls?

the sound coming from the ear piece and speakerphone of the sgs3 is kinda low when on voice call, even when using extended volume feature (whic i hate need to press it everytime when talking)

for movies and music speakerphone its loud already (volume+ helps alot too) but for in-call/voice call its very low, having hard time talking to anyone when out in the public

need to find a way to adjust the voice call volume higher then it is now (already max everything)

When you call someone, to the right of their picture icon, there is a little speaker icon. Press that, and it enables a "volume boost".

Just got Nexus 7, updated to 4.1.1

I'm having an issue with the stock Youtube app. I watch a video and 5-6 minutes in, Youtube would just stop streaming the video. When I try to go back a page, Youtube hangs and crashes.

This happens with all videos and 5-6 minutes into the video. I can fast forward/rewind in the video, but the video stops after 5-6 minutes and youtube crashes after that.

Also another problem, sometimes when I click to watch a video, the video won't stream at all and will just have the circular loading screen.

Does anybody have similar issues?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tillithz:
I have no problems with it. I could take a picture of the phone now that its been on for nearly 2 weeks now. its smooth, no blemishes, fits nicely, cut is pretty spot on.....

the only hitch i had was using a generic case, it would peel the edge/corners but I quickly got rid of that case and got another, even now you cant tell the other case peeled it up, the skin has the same finish and look on all parts of it.

I feel like a salesperson for XtremeGuards, I am that happy with it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
+1 on that...

the cut out is perfect..not sure what the other member meant. as long as it doesnt go OVER the edge then it shouldnt have a problem with peeling...

also worth mentioning is that their customer service is REALLY good. mine came and they missed the back piece. emailed them, got back to me within a day and had the replacement mailed already. to my surprise when it came they also threw in an extra front piece.

Hi folks,

Been a while since I've rooted. I have a stock evo 4g on 2.3.5, baseband 2.15.00 and kernel 2.6.35. I want to try out CM9 nightlies ROM but I have a few questions about how to get there first.

I see there are 3 main rooting methods for my phone.

1) htcdev

2) taco root

3) captainthrowback

*any others?

Appears I have to downgrade my boot loader version to 2.10. The main question is how do i get amon ra on my phone as the recovery software? From what I recall from the previous rooting i did (using revolutionary) it only came with clockwork orange. With the rooting methods above and using revolutionary, do I get the choice between amon ra or clockwork?
