[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Hey, guys! Review time!

ROM

: I just flashed the leaked UFME7 coming from MD3 (cache cleared, no wipe but flashing the ROM wiped my data).

I'm going to be talking about the differences between the previous leak and I shall go over some of its faults (what I can find). For my previous 4.2.2 review, which still stands, read this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41627671&postcount=9132

WARNING

: Flashing this ROM through PC Odin wiped ALL my data. I have no idea why.

Differences

:

Lock Screen: Animations look more slick but the swipe-left-to-access-camera isn't available anymore. In fact, I can't find out how to enable it.

Gallery: There is no way to access the other Gallery viewing options. You only have the simple Gallery with slightly changed font.

Music Player: The Music Player is the newer one and it's fullscreen.

Touchwiz: It's smoother and there are new icons for a lot of the apps but they're still old themselves.

Clear Defaults

: New menu option for clearing default applications. Accessible by long pressing the menu button.

Move-to-SD-card: Samsung have given us the option to move apps to the SD card in the Application Manager.

Things Not Included

:

Touchwiz update: Touchwiz did not get the proper S4 update. Only a few animations and icons were changed.

Camera look and features: The camera app has not been updated to look like the Galaxy S4 one. Additionally, you don't get the extra modes that you get with the S4. Photosphere wasn't included in the S4 so we won't get it until somewhere near September (according to rumours).

Missing apps: S-Health, Smart Scroll, Smart Pause, Air View, S-Travel, S-Translator, Samsung Link, and Photo Reader.

Assisted Light Widget: The Assisted Light widget has been removed from this firmware!

Negatives/Unresolved Issues/Bugs

:

Users are reporting that the graphical glitches with games are still present.

Multitasking with games is still broken. You can't run two or more medium/heavy games in the background. One of them eventually restarts (if not instantly). NOTE: This also happens with a single game running but I've used two as a quick example.

Contacts and Phone don't open instantaneously.

Widgets drawer still has the initial loading lag.

When recording a video, left and right audio is switched.

(Will take some time to test) Recent Apps Tab still randomly forgets the most recently minimized application.

Shadow redraws on Touchwiz icons occurs when the phone is low on free RAM.

Touchwiz can restart when the phone is low on free RAM.

[*]Home button to prevent screen timeout still tied to S-Voice.

[*]During Pop-up Play, clear type text is turned off and you can see jagged edges everywhere.

[*]One finger expandable notifications are not present.

Recommended or not?

:

Hell no. If you're on the previous leak, then you should flash this ROM. It's faster than the previous one. I advise the rest of you to stay far away. There's nothing to be gained from flashing this ROM.

Graphical glitches in games, features taken out, incomplete ROM, random data loss on flash, no extra features, and no idea about battery life

... Those are big reasons to stay away!
