FreeGS3 is clearly the best ROM out right now. No other Dev is doing what Clark44 is doing. Updates regularly. Installing stuff on ROM no one else has. FreeGS3 is in it's own class.

I've always been a fan of Phantom and Blazer Rom since the Epic Touch days.....although I admit he just hits my personal sweet spot with the features he includes....I like Clark's rom too....I kind of don't like the Aroma feature though. It's cool, but for an extra 200MB when I have to download my roms at work?

Anyway, I'd give Blazer's 1.7 a chance. I like Clark's a lot too but to me Blazer seems a little more polished.

Just flashed FreeGS3 v.0.0.9 its so sweet....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] siirus09:
I started with Blazer 1.5. So far its been great up until the latest 1.7 update. It broke a lot of things even AFTER being released with a 100% chance of bootloop. No idea how that got past him and the testers. Ill try FGS3 and see how it goes.

On a different note, it pains me to see so many people asking tiring, old or silly questions about their phone (it sounds like half these people this is their first phone). How much faster and cleaner would threads be without every day someone asking a question that can be easily asked in Q&A or using Search/Google or reading the OP. I hope our GS3 userbase matures a little bit faster.

Pro-Con? Cyanogen?

As forum regular, you'll always encounter that from those of us who don't come here often. The fact is, stuff is hard to find from scratch because people don't always title their posts for clarity, major issues are discussed via thread-creep, and the search engine just doesn't deliver.

I looked today for a concise, simple pro-con comparing some of these ROMs to each other and to stock, and I didn't find one. I imagine the topic's been discussed in bits and pieces within multiple within threads here, but I couldn't find it in 10 minutes via search. Unless you're a regular reader, stuff is just hard to find quickly.

On the general topic, what's the consensus about Cyanogen 9? I ran C-7 on my GX2 and really liked the extensive customizations and features. I've seen lots of vague posts about the pros of C-9 on GS3, but no one's done even a basic con piece that I can find. It DOES look like the C-9 ROM has a very basic camera app with significantly fewer features than the stock ROM. What else do you lose with Cyanogen?

It looks to this non-expert like the ROMs you're debating here are relatively minor tweaks of stock ROM, while C-9 is an entirely different animal. I'm not such a hobbyist that I'm likely to flash a ROM for cooler animations, quicker transitions, or better menu transparencies. I see anecdotal claims that battery life is improved. How much better is it? Anyone tested it? What real functionality do you gain with these ROMs vs stock? What do you lose? I watched a video or two, and I remain unmoved.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] El Nivek:
It looks like you've been lurking here for a while. I can't really answer your CM9 question because I haven't tried it because, well, CM10 is actually very stable. I can't give you exact battery stats, but it can go for longer than twelve hours with a few hours screen time for me. You lose a lot of Touchwiz motion features compared to stock, but you get smoother animations and Google Now and just plain stock Android. You do lose a lot of extra camera features but the camera is fully functional.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fezzle:
I've been reading up on both, trying to figure out which one to flash on my phone. Am I right in thinking that FreeGS3 is more feature-filled with mods (like the custom notification toggles and Google Now), while Blazer is closer to stock?

Has anyone written (or YouTubed) a good comparison of the two?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TAPshr3d:
Running blazers 1.7 rom. Seems kind of fast. What's the whole thing about "jelly bean" The anjmstions? I is that suppose to be like project butters improved frame rate? Sorry for my noobness.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jkvalentine88:
deff would like to know the answer to this. i am currently using phantom blazer and its amazing but it does seem closer to stock. would freegs3 be able to do more alterations?

ive been personally trying to figure out how to change the amimations through roomtoolboxpro but still no luck with phamtom blazer.

Personally I prefer clarks. Why not just take it for a test drive, try it out for a few days and see what kind of mileage you get
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ogcuddles:
Switching back and forth between Roms

Would you mind explaining how you accomplished this? I'm currently running FreeGS3 and would like to give Blazer for a spin. The thing is, I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up my settings/homescreen/apps all over again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vulcZ:
I used to do this all the time with my previous E4GT and my EVO 3D before that. Creating a nandroid backup isn't ROM specific. So you can create a nandroid of your current setup, wipe your phone and install a new ROM. If you don't like it, restore to one of your nandroid backups and you'll be back to your old ROM and settings etc. Backups are usually labeled by the date and time of which you created them, so if it makes it easier just rename them so you know which backup is to which ROM, etc.

Sorry if this is wrong information. It's possible that things have changed, but this worked perfectly without issue in the past for me and I don't see why this wouldn't work now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HarmfulMushroom:
Hello all, not sure if any of you have had a similar problem playing pandora over 3g. I load the app, it connects to my account, finds a song to play but gets stuck trying to load it. It just says loading, and after about 20 seconds it'll forget about the song and try to play the next one and the cycle repeats. I tried over wifi and it worked fine.

Things I tried already after googling this problem: Cleared the apps data, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, tried the streaming media fix to bypass sprint proxies, and tried another rom for the hell of it.

I do not have a data limit in place as I have unlimited data. Roaming is enabled, and it has full bars and says connected using 3g.

Does anyone have any ideas I could try? I really like listening to pandora on my way into work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Yeah it's been a problem for lots of folks.

To resolve it for my self go into,

Settings, mobile networks, Network mode, and select CDMA only.

You are most likely set to CDMA/LTE as that is what the phone goes to after a PRL/profile update. Well at least for me it does.

I've tried the newest Pandora app and a bunch of older ones and it would still do the buffer thing until I changed my settings.

Hope that helps,

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HarmfulMushroom:
Yes I was on CDMA/LTE, switched it back and so far at least it seems to work! Thanks man!

Edit, worked for a couple minutes and now its back to doing the same thing :/ Thanks for the input though.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joliett:
The Federal Communications and Verizon Wireless agreed to a $1.25 million settlement that will also allow Verizon subscribers to use their smartphones as Wi-Fi hotspots at no extra charge.

The agreement may save some Verizon Wireless subscribers $20 a month. But figuring out who exactly benefits isn't so straightforward. So we've put together this FAQ to help you understand what it means.

What did the FCC settle with Verizon Wireless?

On Tuesday the FCC and Verizon announced that they had agreed to settle a 10-month long investigation into Verizon's management of the 700 MHz wireless spectrum the carrier is using to build its 4G LTE network. The so-called open access rules state that licensees offering service on C Block of 700 MHz spectrum "shall not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice on the licensee's C Block network."

The FCC found Verizon had pressured Google to remove 11 apps from its app stores that allowed customers to use their smartphones to create mobile Wi-Fi hotspots for other devices.

Under the terms of its settlement with the FCC, Verizon will make a voluntary $1.25 million payment to the U.S. Treasury. The carrier has also notified Google that it no longer objects to the tethering apps. And the carrier also said that it will no longer charge customers using third party apps an additional fee for using their smartphones as wireless modems.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rguevara10900:
hi everyone, i updated my mini pro last month to ics, it feels so quick and looks good, but i have realice that some bugs appear for example the tethering bug, some games/apps dont work well as in gingerbread so i want to know if there exist a good ics rom that is rock solid like gingerbread and how i can install it, my phone is in ics official rom, and rooted, bootloader locked (i think, how can i check it?) or i get back to gingerbread? or maybe wait until sony release an update for fix all the bugs in ics?

thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] evilbarcode:
No not yet everyone is still working out bugs just wait if you dont like it. Go back to gb. If you dont know if you have an unlocked bootloader or not then it is locked. Just search if you want to unlock it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
Why does the stock text msg app split my longer texts into more than one part? Cant find the setting to change this behavior.

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
Texts are 160 characters per message. So every 160 characters, creates a new part. You can't change it. But a good workaround is an app off the market that will allow you to add a subject. This creates a text mms and keeps everything as one message.

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
Oh I see. So all my past phones were using mms vs sms by default. Interesting.

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
Maybe, maybe not. It's possible it just wasn't notifying you of the split. You'd have to check the recipients phone to see how it was received, for verification on that.

Also, ICS will allow you to add a subject, by pressing menu button within the text thread. Sorry, I assumed you were on Gingerbread. I should have asked.

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
I am on GB. I guess Sony saw fit to not embellishments the standard text messaging app here. I now seem to remember that stock Google Android is text only. That's cool. I'll just either accept that or use an app from the market that handles longer texts differently. Thing is, Sony allows attachments and that requires mms right?

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
Yes. Any attachment is automatically mms. Or.... You could always jump over to ICS? It's actually pretty damn stable. I give it to Sony, they played there cards right with this phone so far I think. Just my opinion tho

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
I have no doubt ICS runs circles around GB. It did on my Atrix 2. I learned a hard lesson by jumping on the leak over there (even though I was able to recover). I still was not 100% sure I was still on the official upgrade path. So I'm taking this phone a little slower and learning some development with official ware using Eclipse and ADB. We'll see. If Sony officially unlocks this bootloader my perspective might do a 180. Thanks.

[Android] dmobbjr:
So this is actually help making an app not a ROM. I am trying to use a spinner in my app as a drop down menu.

Here is the xml code:

<Spinner

android:id="@+id/fromSpinner"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:spinnerMode="dropdown"

android:entries="@array/from_array" />

Here is the Java code:

Spinner fromSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.fromSpinner);

Spinner toSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.toSpinner);

ArrayAdapter<String> toAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.id.toSpinner, R.array.to_array);

toSpinner.setAdapter(toAdapter);

ArrayAdapter<String> fromAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.id.fromSpinner, R.array.from_array);

fromSpinner.setAdapter(fromAdapter);

String toCurrency = (String) toSpinner.getSelectedItem();

String fromCurrency = (String) fromSpinner.getSelectedItem();

I'm not sure what the adapters do but I think I need them. Anyway toCurrency and fromCurrency aren't getting the values they are supposed to get. Anyone know what I am doing wrong. I am a complete noob say it may be something really dumb.
[Android] dmobbjr:
Don't know if this is helpful. Just put the source for the whole app at https://github.com/Dmobbjr/CurrencyCalculator
[Android] dmobbjr:
Really? I know some developers here could figure this out in ~10 minutes.
[Android] Kavrocks:
I'm not able to look deeper but it would help for next time if you could post the value you are getting and the value that should be there.

I'm going to guess you are getting either the first element in the array or null?

You haven't selected a value anywhere and there is no evidence of a user interaction before you try and get the selected value so either there is no value selected or the first element in the array is selected (by default) and you are getting its value.

Have you looked through the documentation for Spinners in the API Guides section of the Android Developers website? I can tell the answer is no because if you had you would know why you need the Adapters.
[Android] dmobbjr:
I will change it to see what the value is later but I know it is not getting the value of the first element.

The user interaction happens before any of the code above is executed. I assumed that when I create the spinners and adapters in java it just takes what was already selected. Do I have to initialize the spinners and adapters before user selection?

Also I did read the documentation which is why I even knew about adapters but I am still a noob so some of the docs can be pretty confusing.
[Android] Kavrocks:
The spinner needs to be initialised with data before the user selects it otherwise it would be empty. That's what the ArrayAdapter in your OP is for (which is explained in the API Guides section on spinners), however the android:entries attribute in your xml file is also adding data to the spinner so you have redundant code.

The getSelectedItem() will return an Object containing the currently selected item but as you are changing the data in the spinner beforehand this could be altering the data in the selected item position.

I recommend you remove the android:entries attribute and move the code except for the getSelectedItem() lines to the onCreate() method of your Activity.

You really need to provide more info for me about what is happening for me to help. I can't view the source on github at the moment.
[Android] dmobbjr:
If I implement the spinners in onCreate(), how do I access them from my button's onClick() method. Wouldn't the spinners be local to the onCreate method and therefore not accessible outside of it?
[Android] Kavrocks:
You aren't implementing them in onCreate(), they are implemented in xml which is normally inflated in onCreate() when you call setContentView(). All you are doing is adding the data to them in onCreate(). After the layout is inflated everything in that layout file is global (can be accessed anywhere) to that class.

You can get a reference to them anywhere in your code, providing the layout that contains them has been inflated into memory, using findViewById() and passing in the id of the spinner you want to get a reference to.

You can declare a class variable to store the reference to these and then just get the reference once in onCreate() and access it anywhere else in your code, ie. in onClick(), instead of having persistant calls to findViewById(). This approach is more efficient and cleaner.
[Android] dmobbjr:
When I try to call findViewById(toSpinner).getSelectedItem() The compiler says it can't resolve toSpinner as a variable. When I try to call R.id.toSpinner.getSelectedItem() it says it can't invoke getSelectedItem() on and int. I still cant access the spinners from within my onClick(). Sorry for the extreme noobishness but I just clearly do not know as much java as I should.
[Android] Kavrocks:
You are calling findViewById() returns a View object, you can't call getSelectedItem() on a View object. You first need to cast the View returned by findViewById to a spinner and then call getSelectedItem() on the spinner.

R.id.toSpinner is just an integer value pointing to a resource.

I already pointed out how you should go about calling getSelectedItem() on your spinner.

I'll write the outline of the code you need for you.

public class TestActivity extends Activity {

private Spinner toSpinner;

public void onCreate() {
toSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.toSpinner);
}

public void onClick() {
toSpinner.getSelectedItem();
}
}

I'm not sure though if this will work on your ROM considering your using the AT&T version. As you know most ROMs are developed for each specific device (somebody correct me on this).

Anyway, I'd like to put a disclaimer that I'm not responsilble in any way should there be some issues (that arises) after following the said instructions inside that link, And any upcoming questions (from following that instruction), please kindly direct it to the said fellow (DrivingDroids, credits to him by the way and don't forget to thank him as well) who laid out that instruction.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] jfloan:
I just got mine this morning. Connecting is easy. But the keyboard (as I expected) is very small. If you have dainty girl like hands, you will be OK. It will take some getting used too. I've noticed the back stand that props up the monitor is pretty flimsy as well. A very slight wind can knock it over.

The case will most certainly protect the screen if you toss your tablet in a backpack or in your luggage. It's more sturdy than I anticipated in that regard.

Considering the cost is low, it's easy to overlook the minor flaws I've found so far. I'd give it 4 of 5 stars.

I found this theme over in the i9300 Theme forum.

It is called Motomoto00 Blue Theme by Motomoto00.

Now this theme was not built for our phone specifically by it is the new theme script that basically just replaces all of the pngs so essentially it could be used on any rom and any phone(similar phones). I have already installed in on my phone and it works get. For the most part everything that was intended to be theme on the i9300 is themed on our phones except for maybe a couple of things such as lte signal and minor stuff like that. Other than that it works and looks great. Below is a link to the theme over in the i9300 forum.
