Keyboard went dead on my s3 flashing back to stock Rom appreciate the effort u guy put in thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] Akik:
Thanks for your answer. Should I put CSC to BTU too or just flash XXBLG8 BTU.zip file ?
[Galaxy S III General] tasty_boy:
i think iiiits time for DLI6 already...lol
[Galaxy S III General] art_arev:
Just download theXXBLG8 BTU odin version. When u extract the zip you will get a tar file which you must select under pda in odin. Make sure repartition is not selected!!!!!!!! then just flash by pressing start.... Thats it
[Galaxy S III General] Red Wolf:
Yup I am looking at SamMobile every few min :silly: man I am addicted to flash :eek:
[Galaxy S III General] Akik:
Understood! Thanks a lot :)

Bonus question: If I put CSC to XEF (France), will it block UK OTA? Or it's ok and I will be able to use French Market normally?
[Galaxy S III General] Idan73:
Or even better.... Keep the status bar black and use dark themes and backgrounds and no problem at all after one year... Kinda defeats purpose of amoled technology deep blacks while mimicking lcd tech washed out look.

Waiting for JKay mod on GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] sarbe:
Yes it will block UK ota because you will have csc set as XEF, France.
[Galaxy S III General] Mr.Mefisto:
To fast! ...."To furious"!:good:
[Galaxy S III General] art_arev:
Dont touch csc. When you flash BTU firmware it will do everything necesary during instalation. As I said the odin version hasonly one tar file which has to be selected on PDA only in Odin. Dont select anything on csc. Dont select repartition!!!!!!

Dont select csc or anything else. Only tar file in PDA. And no you cant have british firmware and get french updates.......Its one or the other.

Make sure the firmware you download is the odin version not OTA. It will be around 800mb
[Galaxy S III General] Akik:
Everything is ok in my mind. I will flash XXBLG8 BTU.zip and set CSC to BTU to get UK OTA.

Thanks for your answers guys :)

Back to ICS from JB

I have been using I9300XXDLI5 but I think it is drawing too much power and won't run all my apps yet. I tried to downgrade to I9300XXBLG8 but the phone stops at the "Samsung" logo on boot. Only way to get working was to reflash with I9300XXDLI5. Are there any special instructions to downgrade back to ICS from JB?
[Galaxy S III General] Alestilohomer:
Wipe data / factory reset and reboot.

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III General] Cdjones187:
1. Root.

2. Flash recovery.

3. Boot into recovery, wipe everything, data/cache/dalvik/system/preload.

4. Flash a ICS rom.

OR

Repeat steps 1-3.

Download the stock ICS firmware you want.

Boot into download mode.

Use Odin to flash stock ICS firmware.

These are the steps to a absolutely clean/fresh flash. I even wipe sdcard each time (rarely use it)

I think Samsung kind of screwed up the Project Butter. It isn't as smooth as Galaxy Nexus even with XXDLI5.... Haiz...

Also is the browser slower than ever? I went to engadget desktop website. When I scroll there is every a 1/4 sec delay.
[Galaxy S III General] PoHq:
I agree and I said it before. I have tried all the leaks with the cleanest of installs and been back down to ICS soon after. Very little sign of Project Butter and when you do get a glimpse of project butter its followed by a stutter or a lag of some kind. Also agree on the browser, just not smooth. My only point of comparison is also the G Nexus. Now that is butter.

I really hope I am wrong but I'm starting to think Touchwiz and JB are just not ever going to be as buttery as the Nexus.

[Galaxy S III General] carlos67:
Have we all been fooled by Project Butter?

@JKay, can you see any genuine evidence of Project Butter in the JB leaks so far? Most people will respect your opinion on the matter. Personally I'm not so sure it is fully implemented yet because on a finely tuned ICS Rom the smoothness of the UI is at least on a par with latest JB leaks.

We were all hoping that Butter would make the whole experience like IOS, but, I'm just not seeing it. :(

To be honest I don't see Samsung changing the notification drawer icons if I remember correctly when the Galaxy SII got ICS it was very basic and disappointing, but so far what Samsung have changed so far seems promising but there is always that bit of doubt that it might just not happen

The home button reacts wrong.

Disable in S-Voice settings the option 2 open S-Voice when tapping twice on the home button.

Set screen timeout 2 30 sec.

Set the lockscreen timeout 2 1 min. or above

Open any app u like.

Wait till screen turns off.

Then push the home button.

You'll be back on the home screen and not in the app you've been b4.

The home button reacts like it has been pushed twice, instead of just turning on the screen on the first push.

[Galaxy S III General] stripealipe:
I had this problem, and i'm not sure if it just happened to get a lock when i done this or not, but try and see.

Load up maps, or navigation. Whilst there, pull down the notification bar, choose the searching for GPS notification, and when it takes you into the GPS menu, turn off GPS from there and then turn it back on.

This seemed to immediately kick start GPS lock and it's been fine ever since.

Before this, i'd left my phone for around 10 mins without getting a GPS lock. I'd also cleared app data etc.

And my ROM is DLI5 and had a full wipe, dalvik etc before loading.

Let me know if it works - it may help others too.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
The phone certainly doesn't seem to have the same heat control on JB than ICS had, hopefully this is just some omission by Samsung that will be put back by final release.

Just make sure you stop using your phone if it becomes very hot, you should notice it becomes very slugish when its gets too hot anyway. My advice would be to stop using immediately, and if you can take the back cover and battery out for 10 minutes.

I have not had it happen often, and not sure what triggers it, but it is a problem if you don't manage it.
[Galaxy S III General] _JKay_:
I think most of the animations are smooth.. but not when scrolling contacts, widgets, pictures, xda messages etc... maybe its not optimized yet... maybe they don't use triple buffering yet... I think XXDLI5 is the most stable release... but not the smoothest of the leaks...

Flashed to DLI4 from DLI5, no FCs until I sync something. That's when I figured out the CloudSync FCs were caused by one of the sync accounts. It FCs everytime it syncs or with sync turned on. So I deleted the accounts that i dont use to sync (Facebook, Samsung), deleted google as well but re-added it. No more FCs!! So I flashed to DLI5 and no FCs so far. :)

The SmartStay Errors were caused by huge round lights on my ceiling, it works when I pointed the front camera to an empty ceiling.

[Galaxy S III General] duowing:
I'm hoping the last few bugs manage to get straightened out soon and that the official release shows up for my sanity's sake. I don't want to keep setting up my phone again every day, but I just have to! Anyway I'm setting up LI5 right now. After using LI4 over the weekend I really found no issues in my normal use pattern. I also once setup leave the stock kernel. I'm not sure how different they are, but I feel flashing the CF-Root kernel on the JB leaks would probably have some differences that might cause issues. I haven't used Titanium in a while to restore anything. I barely have any data that needs to be restored so pretty much every leak I've started completely fresh, do a factory reset through stock recovery, then download all my apps. After a couple reboots and setting up everything I try to let the phone fully charge, then reboot once more and go. I've definitely found much stronger WiFi signal on LI3/4/5. I flashed back to LG8 last night and sitting there I could barely use Wifi and then when I flashed the LI5 odin Wifi showed much stronger signal and was working far better from that exact same spot. I've noticed very little lag, also unlike a lot of people I at most only have 4 pages of apps in my drawer. I've sorted through my apps to only what I use.

Charging LED on LI5 does seem to still be dim.

Stock Keyboard seems a bit more speedy/responsive vs. LI4.

Haven't really noticed any heat issues that people have mentioned with any of the leaks. Could just simply be needing reboots, charge cycles for things to be set up. Just like battery life we're barely getting a chance to get really into regular use patterns with how fast leaks are coming out.

I haven't noticed the transparency issue that people have been mentioning. Could it be possibly an issue with apps not being updated for JB? I mean considering really only the Nexus devices are the ones with JB on them I feel like many apps might not be ready yet? Has anyone tested apps that have the transparency issues on the Nexus S, GNex, etc?
