New firmware isn't really stable.

It lags sometimes (like OTA MK6 update),wake-up lag is also present,but still better than 24 bm OTA update.

But in overall,as some people already said,it's better than stock 4.1.2 still. Battery life is also not bad (maybe even better than 4.1.2).

That's the feedback I got from people.

[Galaxy S III General] charlton81:
Battery life is great over 24 hours with fully charger.

Since updating OTA MK6, I have to remove the battery once due to wake-up lag. Otherwise its very stable.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Agree.

How's the UI? Does it lag? And how often?

If it lags still,then it means RAM management is bad,thus the battery life is better. Phones uses less power and RAM,that's the reason of good battery life.

That's my opinion. :)

[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Installed the new "Official" MK6 BTU (No vodafone) firmware and gotta say it's better than OTA one.

Faster,more fluid,smoother animations (screen rotation is also faster),battery seems to be like OTA or even better I can say. And wake-up lag is even more reduced,though it's still happens (that sucks,I know). Mostly,it wakes up in 1,5-2 seconds,but 1 second ones also happen sometimes.

In overall,you can guys go ahead and flash it. I didn't try the test version,so I can't compare to it,though.

I Liked this version on first day. Actually i'm loving it but i got some problems. My lighting bar suddenly just gone for more then 10 minutes i restarted and that never come back... and it´s back suddenly again.

My touch already dies twice after i finished a normal call. I had to remove the battery.

Sometimes i fell a little slow performance in general but that´s ok.
[Galaxy S III General] Falster:
Have you done a complete wipe after flashing? I think it´s really essential...
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Well,it seems S3 is still not performing like it must with latest update.

Task manager lags,messaging and contacts take long to open,play store is also laggy (seen some videos with S3 and play store,and it was so smooth (old FW's). Mine lags badly and using play store is unpleasant). Settings open slow (though faster than OTA update).

Everything still seems slow,that sucks.

Well,at least coming from older versions of 4.3,it's still better and at least more usable ad enjoyable.
[Galaxy S III General] Robin2:
Mine performs better than ever. Interfaces are really fluid and apps open faster than before. Try a clean install.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
That's what I usually do when installing FW.
[Galaxy S III General] Falster:
Can´t agree, even with energy saving on my S3 is more fluid than with 4.1.2 - have you tried turning it off and on again :p
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Well,I don't say that it's not smooth,fluid or anything else. Play Store lags mostly,but the phone itself is fast. And even faster than 4.1.2 but not in all aspects.

I mean,in 4.1.2,when I had some notifications,I was listening to music and this everything at the same time,scrolling between quick options in notification bar was laggy (or just with resource-intensive live wallpaper),and that was optimized in 4.3. So now I can have tons of notifications,some nice graphical live wallpaper and it still doesn't lag. But Contacts and Messaging app's or settings were opening faster in 4.1.2.

Example: when I press on "Battery" tab,it sometimes takes up to 1.5 secs to open. Same with task manager - it opens slower than in 4.1.2. In that version,it was opening instantly.

Well,those things open smoothly,just a little bit/tiny slower than before. But that's not a problem,I still enjoy my phone. :)
[Galaxy S III General] danierakes:
Huh its u again...only some other people faced problem like u(hardware problem)....I advice u to stay on 4.1.2 only
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
My phone runs exactly same as it does for most of the people,so no.

Games are runnig smoothly,benchmarks are getting same scores,so I don't really think so.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
What do you expect with Android and touchwiz and 1gig
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Using Nova launcher,changed back to touchwiz skin and seems to be smoother. Wtf? :eek:

I think it still must run smoother like it was. Back to the days when this phone was just newly released and everyone enjoyed it's smooth performance in play store,web browsing and fast switching in menu's. Also massive multi-tasking.

This is gone now this days. I remember myself how smooth web-browsing was with S3. Now when I open PC-version of some sites,it lags badly sometimes,thanks god that gets fixed,but every new page makes it lag. ICS and JB 4.1.2 were the fastest fw's for web browsing.

Hi Guys,

I flashed this ROM as per instruction through Odin and thanks to Faryaab for this work,my quick review below.might be childish for experts but for me these are great improvements:

1. I noticed that the contacts lag is gone and scrolling in contacts and other menu options is more smooth and lags are less.

2. Antutu scores were around 19800 consistently.I used to get 15000 in 4.1.2 stock ROM

3. Nenamark 2 used to give me 58.3 FPS all the time in 4.1.2 and now its 60.0 FPS.

4. Battery is awesome I used battery calibration to remove battery stats and i charged to 100 and now after 4 hours it is at 96% with data always on.Previously in 4.1.2 i used to get 85% around in 4 hrs

5. The contacts image when calling people (like the S4) is very nice and makes me feel im using a premium phone :laugh:

6. All around apps load faster and the phone is more responsive by about 20% improvement over 4.1.2

7. I am pleasantly surprised that there is no wake up lag in the phone and its the same speed as 4.1.2 which i did not expect.

8. The phone looks much nicer to use now than 4.1.2 and I have to seriously recommend this to everyone using 4.1.2

Many thanks everyone
