I wasn't looking to upgrade from my gs3 to the gs4; however, when I found out I could trade in and get $250 bucks plus another $50 for being a best buy insurance customer, I decided to do it. At the end of my purchase, I walked out of BB with a $20 gift certificate. I have to say, I wasn't expecting it to be much better than my gs3 but it has surpassed my expectations. The battery life on stock is amazing and the fact that you can go from 10% to 100% in less than 20 minutes charge is awesome. It's true they added a bunch a gimmicky stuff but some of it is useful. Such as the remote control for almost all IR a/v equipment and the hand waving to quickly see notifications (didn't think I would ever use). Plus, this thing is blazing fast!! I can only imagine what it will be like when custom kernels and non-bloat ROMS start coming out.

For those on the fence, you could always try it for 14 days, ODIN to stock, and then return if you don't like. But I really don't think you'll want to give it up once you test drive.

Regardless, as long as Steve is still supporting the GS3 I'll continue to be around. I have my wife's phone to keep up with and she would kill me if she didn't have her SS blue. :)

No different than flashing the update if we're already running 3.5, right?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
My incremental updates are only meant to be flashed if you were already on the previous increment.

In other words, the 3.5 incremental update should have only been flashed by the folks on 3.4.

I just finished the Handcent and will post it in a few minutes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdelano:
only 1 real reason

Hey Steve

I'd say the only reason to update to MD4 is that multi-window is native to that build and not a mod.

In my estimation native always beats modded.

2 cents given :)

I am VERY content with what I have. Thank you!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
Handcent updated

I have updated Handcent to version 4.9 in Post 2.

I have also REMOVED the May 1 and May 11 incremental updates from Post 2. If you have not flashed those updates, you will need to reflash the OP rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] punkerEVO:

Just stopping in to say hi, and DL the new update.

For anyone interested, and uses Tasker, I posted in another thread:

Showing off the Blue in my screenshots!

I appreciate the continual awesomeness you provide Steve.

Never once have I ever questioned my choosing this ROM.

It attains, and at times - surpasses, the level of quality I would be proud to claim.

I don't know what device I will be upgrading to in the future, but if I don't hold out for the SGS5 (long way out, but huge advancements), I will likely be swayed by whatever device you pick.

I see a long future for the SGS3 and I doubt the SGS4 will offer much for improvement.

Like comparing winXP to vista. By the time vista was 'better' than XP, win7 was out.

(no flaming please, I'm actually a penguin!)

I have 2 other samsung phones (Instinct and NS4G) and when I do upgrade, I will probably just replace my oldest (Instinct)

with the SGS5. Even then, I will keep this phone and ROM for years. Call me nostalgic, but I actually use all my phones.

Long live the Bluetiful !
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Evilone69tmg:
Do you mean updating just the firmware and modem? If so you can use the one in freeza's thread. I'm running it. But what may work for me may not work for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
Modem and bootloader parts.. yes you can use the MD4 stuff. You can even use the kernel if you want. I didnt know that is what you meant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dquangt:
I've been meaning to but have been busy with other things. Life gets in the way sometimes, ya know?

Ok.. after many hours of working on this, I now have a FULLY inverted themed handcent ... does anyone give a rats azz? Cuz I love it..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] motcher41:
Looks nice but I use stock...is that the swype keyboard?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] notmyepic:
Yes that is the Swype that comes with his rom

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
Actually.. No.. that is my themed Smart Keyboard Pro.

I just have it themed very similar

Also.. Nova is already starting up new betas again.. sheesh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] notmyepic:
Very close. Now that I look very close at the buttons, I see the difference. Great job on theming as they look great.

Now I just need to go buy a PC so I can try to finish the new Swype. Got the buttons done by swapping pngs, but the trace and predictive words are still orange.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gyrra:
That looks awesome, I love the gradients.

Unfortunately, due to functionality, I use thumb keyboard pro.

It does offer some personal theming, but the extra options, and the massive key-bind list, keeps me using this one.

I don't use the swiping method when I type, and I don't know for sure if this keyboard even has that function, but since i personally don't swipe-type, this is the most functional keyboard I have found.

If you ever get bored Steve (lol) maybe you can punch up a better theme for this one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polo5569:
does it work like swype? looks great. so does handcent. is that going to be available for download.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdelano:
ummmm ... guh!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
yeah for sure.. I will put the handcent back up when I get a few more things done that I want to do.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gyrra:
That would be awesome! That's the one thing I'm jealous of when looking at your keyboard.

(Keyboard means keyboard for the sickos ;) )

Seriously, I can't possibly be the only person who would love that keyboard theme.

If it turns out to be more work than you think, don't waste your valuable time on it. I never had the motivation to edit the theme myself since I expected I would have eventually moved to the supplied themed stock version you already made/remade.

Either way, Steve, you rock!

I expect you would be awesome person to know personally in life.

Rock on!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hikouka71:
does that keyboard have a t-9 phone pad?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gyrra:
It doesn't have a t9 pad.

There are compact layouts, but I'm assuming you are looking for huge button type.

I don't know of any to recommend for you but I can look around if you are looking for something other than what you have now (which is?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hikouka71:
i'm using smart keyboard now, its one of the few that still has one but i have a lot of mistypes, not sure what the problem is, i had the htc_ime one for my evo and it was awesome, unfortunately the htc_ime that was ported to the g3 stopped working after JB came out and doesn't seem like its going to be updated, so i may be stuck with mistake laden or timely re-written messages with smart kb

frankly i abhor qwerty boards on phones, even at these larger sizes they're way to hard to type quickly or accurately for me...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
If you have a custom recovery, you won't be able to install the OTA...

There's no point to flashing a stock ROM, only to turn right around & flash ODB. The baseband is independent of the ROM, & the kernel will be the MB1 that Steve uses (freeza's modified stock?). If you want the newest firmware/baseband then flash the one from freeza's thread, after you flash the full ODB 3.5 ROM. Then, flash any kernel you like - so I long as it's compatible with TW 4.1.2 ROMs. When I had my S3, I personally used ktoonsez's KT747 kernel & had exceptional results in battery & performance.

Ok the bat icon you see in my screenshots is done with UOT Kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/ . Click on kitchen then battery put a check in use this mod. Choose battery style and charging animation. Then color parts the first box (gray) change to 000000 that is black. The rest of the % boxes set as you like, The code for the blue Steve uses is 0099FF. Then top right generate preview and it will show you a preview. Then go to the File Upload tab. There you will click on update-binary and select Galaxy. Next check upload system files, for this to work you need the SystemUi.apk from /system/app on your phone. Copy that file to your PC in advance. You will also need the stock Framework-res.apk file. If you don't have a copy of that stashed here is a link to one https://dl.dropbox.com/u/48156774/framework-res.apk . Upload those files to kitchen with the boxes below upload system files. Next go to the Summary page and click on submit work to kitchen. You will then see a link that says go to pickup page, remember the number it gives you. Be patient it can take 10~20 minutes for your file to showup on that page. After it shows up download the uot zip file then using 7zip extract the SystemUi.apk from the app folder. Push SystemUI.apk to the system/app folder on your phone and set its permissions. Reboot and enjoy your new battery icon.Whatever you do do not replace the framework-res.apk on your phone with the one used to send to UOT.

Good information, did not know that about blue pixels. I'm on Odexed Blue on my SGS2. After 8 hours at work I have about 92 percent battery with light use and 80 percent plus with moderate use. Not sure if I would get better battery life with green over blue. But my battery life is so good it doesn't matter. I would rather have good battery life and something I like the looks of over squeezing a couple more minutes from my phone. That's what great about choice. Would be pretty boring if everyone did things the same. :) of course I'm biased, I love blue!

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to stoke a blue pixel war, just sharing my experience. People should be able to respectably share information and opinions without others getting upset or being rude.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dquangt:
thanks both for the reply. i already knew how to do what you are both saying. the one detail that i'm having trouble with is i want to use the same themed icons that came with the ROM. for example, the blue themed browser icon, if i long press on that i get the "edit" option. however, choosing to edit it does not allow you to change the app that it is associated with. you can only change the name of the icon, or switch to another icon from the gallery. i want to use that blue icon and have it open up chrome. so after i've dragged chrome to the dock i long press and choose "edit." again i can change the name of the icon, or i can change to a different icon from the gallery. problem is the blue themed icon is not in the gallery and there is no way to choose it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kilawayne:
Can't fine the battery mod
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pjjohn73:
I see, using your computer you could pull the apk you need, from the rom. For example the browser I think is secbrowser.apk. Then use 7zip to unzip the apk, pull the icon from the correct folder (have to look around), then add the icon to your gallery. Then add chrome to the dock and then edit the icon.
