Flash 4.2.2,root with CF-Auto-Root,install Mobile Odin Pro to flash anything in future and stay rooted.(yes I am a big fan of my fellow countryman Chainfire)

With any root-access file explorer delete all the bloatware from system / app,to remove the hotmobile bootanimation look in post #9344 of this thread,the files you need are in the zip.You want everything from Hotmobile removed permanently,even after wiping cache in recovery ?

Delete everything from system/csc except :

1. contents.db

2. customer.xml

3. default_workspace.xml

4. language.xml

5. others.xml

6. sales_code.xml

Now enjoy your own work :good:

Official 4.2.2 is delayed due to new TouchWiz version (same as S4).

Source: Sammobile

Hopefully it's gonna be more polished.
[Galaxy S III General] mark182004:
By the time it arrives it will be new phone time for me :( haha
[Galaxy S III General] TigerCourage:
I'm not switching. Current gen phones aren't worth the money.

HTC One no SD slot, crap camera and bloated Sense

S4 overheats, bloated TouchWiz and lags

Xperia Z crappy battery, slow updates and crappy screen

Nexus 4 is a downgrade in many terms

Optimus G ugly UI and slow updates

Plus all current Snapdragons have a problem with the WhatsApp notifications.

I won't be taking another Exynos device though, I learned my lesson.

Maybe Nexus 5 will be awesome and/or S5.

Snapdragon 800 is around the corner so that's why it's not worth upgrading with current gen phones.

So if Samsung provides me with a good 4.2.2 update for my S3 I might even buy the S5 next year.
[Galaxy S III General] mark182004:
interesting info you made above maybe ill just go sim free. Think i need a new battery however as im lucky if mine lasts 12hrs. (sim free lol).... sim only
[Galaxy S III General] what3va:
Why do you need a lot of free ram?

Ram is supposed to be used to run application in it so if OS knows how to manage ram it does not matter how much free is left.

This 4.2.2 runs great.

What applications crash? Are they legit or from warez?

For me the only writing with finger was better on 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III General] Blenky:
Damn. Love the leak but bluetooth is borked for me. Constant break ups.

[Galaxy S III General] TigerCourage:
No mention on their Twitter. Someone else asked but never got an answer :).

[Galaxy S III General] isholay:
When will samsung release official 4.2.2 update for GS3? I think samsung is really taking the piss.
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
According to a leak in Swedish website it was meant to come this or next week... But now SamMobile just tweeted that the update is delayed because Samsung wants to include the S4's TouchWiz UI to the S3. Though Note II users are going through the same thing.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Giveaway..!
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
But, I don't use TouchWiz! Samsung, give me my updaaaaaaaaaaatttteeee! :crying:

Ok, I feel better :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] Lympe:
I really don't get it. There are 50 million s3 owners who probably would want to buy anew phone next year. If you don't treat them well they leave. It's simple as that.

Samsung should have updated s3 first to 4.2.2 before the release of s4. Instead they just don't even care.

Are they really that stupid?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
They said Touchwiz UI meaning the entire framework, not just the touchwiz launcher, mate.

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

They wanted the S4 UI end goodies, it would kill them and the S4 if they released it before the S4. Think a little.
[Galaxy S III General] Lympe:
That's my point exactly. It shouldn't be s4 goodies or note 3 goodies or whatever.

It should be the new software update for all eligible Samsung phones which should roll out simultaneously.
[Galaxy S III General] chrismast:
who would upgrade if it would be available for anyone at the same time? ;)

sorry, but if I would run Samsung, I guess I would do the same what they are doing now, delay the update for older phones so that new phones get the most news coverage they could get and still satisfy "old" users (the once that can wait).
[Galaxy S III General] Lympe:
Ios 7 would be available to all iPhone 5 users day one. According to your logic none will buy iPhone 5s but believe me you are wrong.

Same happened with ios 6 with iPhone 4s etc.
[Galaxy S III General] chrismast:
you are correct, the difference is, that iOS7 comes independent of any phone and is not connected to be a selling argument for a new phone.. With the S4 new features etc. (and here especially the Samsung TW features) are coming that are or should be a selling argument for the S4. Hence Samsung's take on releasing the features possible, on the S3 later.

If you compare iOS7 to vanilla Android, you will see, Google is doing the same as Apple with releasing for all devices at the same time (if I am not wrong).

anyway that should be not a discussion in this thread.
[Galaxy S III General] dehaani:
iOS features vary by model - see here for iOS 6: http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/12/psa-which-ios-6-features-can-my-device-run/

Is it 100% sure that update got delayed now ? Maybe they delayed update in may so we can expect it in june - now ?

[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
Profit driven company does what profit driven companies do. Why are people so surprised / shocked / offended? Samsung is not your friend. The company exists to make money. And saying that Samsung should do X or do Y to keep its customers happy is just naive. The vast majority of Samsung users (and phone users in general) don't know or care about what release is on their phone or what release is coming out. Samsung will not lose their base because they released the S4 before they shipped 4.2.2 to the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Thats it in a nutshell vast majority dont even know what firmware is .Those that do know would not be expecting firmware updates every few months either .

.Nothing on the box when i bought the phone said you will get any future upgrades .

XDA type users are a very small percentage of the market .

jje
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
You re sure. But in the hour to decide to buy a new phone I will take this in count as many users have. They bought the one. The updates are slower but they aren't disappointed. So will I do also. My s3 costs lot of money few months ago and what they re making with people that had spend a lot of money is sh...
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
But Samsung doesn't make their money from people like you or from XDA. Samsung makes their money from the millions of other people who don't give a damn about software versions ie. 99.9% of S3 owners. XDA and the people on it, as wonderful as they are, are not representative of the real world. Far from it.

And sure, you're going to question your next buy, but if you read through the forums, there has been dozens of people just like you in the S1 and S2 forums, and there will be dozens of you in the S4 forums soon enough yet Samsung continues to grow. What does that tell you?

And as for your next phone, please do let me know if you find a phone manufacturer whose XDA aren't complaining about them not releasing new updates or decent batteries or lag-free software. Let me know if you find a manufacturer who is more concerned about giving XDA users an updated toy over making profits.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Sony cares about open sources. And providing developers with everything they can. The problem is that they re with internal clean up process and delays are normal. But they provide sources and care about costumers. Samsung not. Even don't disclose exynos sources for development. Thats why many free developers are going away from samsung. I think they folow apple's path. Maybe when they see numbers decrease like apple they open theyr eyes. Android as boomed because open sources. And sammy is going his own way. A dangerous way.
[Galaxy S III General] tintin1503:
Absolutely true my friend. Most of the people buy these phone just coz they want the latest and the happening phone on their hands as a show off accessory or coz of being impressed of those silly adverts without being aware of the true capabilities of these modern day beasts. Most of them won't be aware what there phones android version is being called "jellybean" or whatever
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Sony cares, not because they actually care, but because they're doing so bad in sales that they have to do something to keep themselves afloat.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Not true. Look at the 2011 xperia range. In that time no company upgeaded phones so fast. And also sources.

That great news that we are going to get new touchwizz

I am not excited about new touchwizz

Its just we will get 3.4 kernel

Which will improve performance to a great extent

But that means xplodwild will have to work again hard for cm if he intends to make it
[Galaxy S III General] winuxguy:
I hope the new kernel is true! More improved performance? I'd say better security with SELinux enabled. We actually have SELinux on our S3 for this 4.2.2 leak but it is disabled by default... SELinux means Security Enhanced Linux...

Samsung is targeting more on putting their phones approved for business users not just consumers now... But android is still very hackable! Hehehehe...

For those who are still experiencing overheat of CPU and too low battery juice, try tweaking your system build.prop with these:

1) Dalvik Virtual Memory

Replace the line below:

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y

With this:

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=v,o=y

2) Dalvik VM Cache, Increase it to 384M:

dalvik.vm.heapsize=384m

3) Power Consumption

Add these:

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1

pm.sleep_mode=1

wifi.supplicantscan_interval=180

ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=1000

Don't forget to clear cache and dalvik cache from CWM Recovery!

[Galaxy S III General] enigma1981:
Lol I always think that too...

"hmm, I wonder what was they changed their mind about"

Swyped from my Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk 4 beta.
[Galaxy S III General] TigerCourage:
In "that time" the i9000 was the most supported device even though it launched in 2010. It came with Android 2.1 Eclair, updated to 2.2 Froyo then to 2.2.1 Froyo then to 2.3.3 Gingerbread then to 2.3.4 and last to 2.3.6 Value Pack (with ICS features). It recieved hell loads of updates. Even early this year it recieved another update fixing bugs, you can't ask more for a 3 year old device.

Samsung did good in not updating the Galaxy S1 to ICS because it would have ruined the experience. Have you seen how the almighty 2011 Xperias lag and stutter with ICS? Makes you flash IMMEDIATELY to Gingerbread.

They also can't provide AOSP experience because it was not a Google Edition phone and also they couldn't remove features from TouchWiz that people payed for just to update it to a crappy Android version.

Of course Jelly Bean supports single core phones. Nexus S has it, Galaxy Mini 2 has it, Galaxy Ace Plus has it, and loads more.

Samsung is great at updating compared to the rest.

The funny thing is you're saying about 2011 Xperia phones yet you compare them to a 2010 flagship wich is not fair. Why don't you compare them with the Galaxy S2 and Note since they both are 2011 devices?
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Sony doesn't had dual core phones on that time... and you wrote well samsung did not make good updating galaxy s to ics. Well thats why samsung as a policy of abandoning devices after launch a new one. They forget it. And whats the difference between ace p And us and galaxy s? Marketing. I run ics flawless in a modded galaxy s with tw launcher and it was a good experience. And I tell you that in benchmarks it was possible to run ics without problems even with touchwiz. Normal antutu score for galaxy s was between 3800 and 4000 points. Thats far ahead dozens of devices that have been updated. Thats why I blame samsung. That's what will happen with s3. A phone full of sensors and tech and you never will use t because they don't want to stop selling theyr flagship. Thats why next time I will buy other fair brand.

And not forget to mention repair service I m waiting for an answer from sammy since last September from a warranty issue. They let me talk alone. Nice that my opetator gave me a new phone. If not I will be at this time chatting here with no phone. That's why sammy is gaining points.
[Galaxy S III General] TigerCourage:
Hahahahah you didn't run TouchWiz on top of ICS, you just ran the launcher. The entire TouchWiz framework with videocall features + bloatware that normal people use is what I'm talking about. You can't run those on top of ICS with limited amount of RAM.

Benchmarks aren't anything. The Mini 2 wipes the floor in terms of speed with almost every last year flagships yet gives crappy benchmarks because of its slow processing power.

I have a Galaxy S with CM10.1 on top and it's slower than with official Gingerbread.

The S3 will get 4.2.2 with S4 features and the next one so people should hold their horses.
[Galaxy S III General] :
The ROM seems pretty fine. Just the battery life that doesn't seems so good, comparing to my old results. For people complaining of the high RAM usage, learn this: Free RAM is wasted RAM. ROM seems faster, better to customize, etc... Of course it ain't a Nexus 4 running the only real 4.2.2, but it's pretty good. Since I can live with the battery life for the day, no more 4.1.2.

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Remember that every device will run faster on Gingerbread... Jellybean uses more hardware, that's why the S1 is slower on JB.
[Galaxy S III General] TigerCourage:
Exactly, so why would they want to update it and slower it down to ruin the experience?

Xperia Play never got updated officially from Gingerbread and it came with Gingerbread.

Reason? The hardware sucked from the beginning and the low ram would ruin your gaming experience.

Besides, how often do 2013 Xperias and HTCs get updated? Once every 3 - 4 months.

How often is the S3 getting updated? Every freaking month there is a new firmware update for this beast and it's been like this since it came out last year. Each one of them fixing and improving stuff. People should stop moaning or go get an iPhone couse that's what they deserve.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Not true. S2 boosts on jb much mor the in gb.
[Galaxy S III General] :
S2 runs faster on GB, but the experience is faster and smoother on JB.

Those new devices like the S3, will run the newest Android version for years if Samsung continues to update it, I think it will take a lot of time to Google to make another GB-ICS leap again. That's when the S3 will get really old. The S2 is a good device, but the GB-ICS upgrade made the phone old.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
I get more speed in geekbench in jb that in gb... a lot of difference. Thats untrue.
[Galaxy S III General] ateesm:
I've been using 4.2.2 for 2 days. So far so good. Wonder what's the difference?:)

I went back only backuping and doing factory reset, from Wanamlite 7.0 (4.2.2) to 6.7 (4.1.2), without problem, only one issue, the rom recreate the sdcard folder for internal sdcard and keeps the "0" folder, then I just move folders than really need and clean some old stuff there :).

[Galaxy S III General] goranbm:
I don't really understand what you are trying to say. In the OP it says :

WARNINGS

- This firmware will increase your binary counter but the current binary and system status will remain official.

- We have re-packaged this firmware from dump files.

- There is no modem in this firmware, so the Modem you will be using before flashing this firmware will remain the same.

- This is a pre-release firmware and not official from Samsung.

- We have fully tested this firmware and this firmware works perfectly as any other official firmware.

So I am trying to understand why it has changed ?? (At least I think it has changed from I9300XXEMC2 to I9300BUEMC2) Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
I don't really understand what you are trying to say. In the OP it says :

[Galaxy S III General] HAAAAAATIUUUU:

[Galaxy S III General] Blenky:
Thanks but that didn't work. What I found is that after a full wipe and install of 4.1.2 that if I attempted to restore everything from my Titanium backup I got into a bootloop. If I attempted to install part of the backup but included anything outside a downloaded app I got a repeating error.

In the end I did a full wipe and install of 4.1.2 but only installed apps I had downloaded for the paly store.
