They look horrendous.

Did you try setting live wallpaper and then your wallpaper? Try it and post the before & after screenshots please.

Look at my homescreen. It has been at that darkness for more than 2 days now. It has NOT increased. And I am not complaining! ;)
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
Actually I did put my WP yesterday after a live WP and my previous post shows how it looked about 10 hours after.

I just did the live WP trick, and it's better... For now. I do not want to do it every 3 hours ! So I will just cope with it and hope for a fix in the official release ;).

Have to say that after installing this leak and even doing full wipe (even internal SD), going back to 4.1.2 feels damn good ...

I will probably not even go close to 4.2.x before we see at least 5 ROMs ...

Re: [Leaked JB Firmware] I9300XXUFMB3 (4.2.1) - ODIN Firmware [23-02-13]

Battey life is much better now! After a week. 7h use.. 1 h screen on 67% left
[Galaxy S III General] franzschenk:
There must be a bug in this ROM I9300XXUFMB3 with rooted phones.

Had this ROM installed for severel days and battery life was very good. Due to a language issue (missing languages) I had to root the phone. After that, battery life was really bad: A 10% decrease every hour even without enabled 3G data. After 8 hours, the Android OS consumed 89% of the battery.

Yesterday, I flashed the same ROM again and didn't install CF-Root after that, so my phone is unrooted. After 18 hours (night and light use this morning) my battery is still at 84%.

[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
Although I never tried, I too have a sense that root somehow affects battery life for worse... one day I also will try it...
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
That's... pretty bad. I always have bad battery life and I'm currently on stock MR2 4.1.2. I have 1hr 20 mins screen on time and my battery is at 76% (with 15 minutes of gaming).
[Galaxy S III General] danielalarcon:
Ok, I did my best sticking to Stock with the S3, sorry but was only able to stay almost 4 weeks, 3 in XXELLA 4.1.2 and 1 in this 4.2.1 leak.

My thoughts:

1. This leak is smoother than 4.1.2

2. I like Samsung quick settings approch, although, I would like to personalize the default power switches when I scroll the notification area normally.

3. Phone and contacts application is even slower than 4.1.2, much more lag, this really needs to be addressed to make the phone usable, I used eXContact/Phone app, and it works well, Samsung can do better.

4. Lockscreen is great, this is the #1 reason I tried the leak, so I don't need to have a custom lockscreen like I have in the last 2 years.

5. Camera = the best thing in the stock rom, by far, this is the only reason I hesitated in going to CM 10.1, but wasn't enough, great job here for samsung.

6. SmartStay never worked for me, on/off. wipe, etc, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but the eye icon stays in the notification area the whole time.

7. What does samsung do with my RAM, if having the TW launcher has to do with it, please just remove that thing, I use apex/nova anyway.

8. Finally, one of the reasons I left the leak is that grayish bar on top/bottom of the home screen, that is for Touchwizz launcher/Apex/Nova/etc... changing to a diff. background, animated, and non animated, works for a while, but, after a while it returns and you have to change it again to get rid of it.

Hope this helps, I will stay in CM for now, but will keep an eye on an official release.
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:

[Galaxy S III General] pricey2009:
Re: [Leaked JB Firmware] I9300XXUFMB3 (4.2.1) - ODIN Firmware [23-02-13]

I dont understand why people are bothering with this ROM?

It was never going to work properly and the changes are small and pretty worthless...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Such is the entire TouchWiz UI. Pointless.
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
According to Sammy's public sayings and with respect to S4 marketing campaign, the odds are high that the S3 will have a firmware update (official) after the launch of the new Galaxy S4. Wether it is just after or a long time after it (to buy time for selling the S4), only the future can tell. But an official release is close, if we refer to the leak a few weeks ago and its level of completion.
[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
Re: [Leaked JB Firmware] I9300XXUFMB3 (4.2.1) - ODIN Firmware [23-02-13]

And the complaining about it. :p

... And both of our posts. :D

People are bothering because:

1. It's the upcoming release.

2. There are a few new features in 4.2 that are interesting (Android not TW).

3. Many maybe hoped of a glimpse of what's to come in the S4. Any feature.

10h 48min on battery 48% left

2h 26min screen on

It's getting better every day :)
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
People are bothering with this ROM because Android 4.2 is already here, and some very interesting features are available, such as DashClock, which is for me so good that I cannot revert back to 4.1. Also, it makes swapping CM10.1 and [almost] official Sammy firmwares much easier, due multiuser support.

Speak for yourself. Some features are very bright functionalities worth trying, such as multiview, smart stay (among others), that other ROMs are unfortunately not able to match for now. Of course, some of these features you will not use on a daily basis, but hey, still worth the try.

FInally, Touchwiz may be not the cleaniest UI, but at least it is easy to set and to use. Many people do not need nor want tweaking options, and the success of iThingies proves it. Sammy made great improvements to its UI, which now suffers more from bitter people who tried Touchwiz years ago and are still complaining about their one-try failed test, than from real failures.

What you said :)
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Uhm, I did? I don't know about you, but when I say something, it usually reflects what I think (i.e. my opinions) unless I state otherwise. I don't think multiview is anything near as good on the S3 as it is on the Note series.

Sammy has done some good improvements feature-wise, but the design fails. The S3 is my first ever Samsung device that isn't a Nexus (I had a Gnex prior to this one).

Though I have to admit TouchWiz 5, i.e. Nature UX, is the best iteration of TouchWiz, though it doesn't beat aosp in terms of design, though I have to learn to accept TouchWiz (which I've done in small steps every day..) because I'm not going to put aosp on this device again. I cannot live with the bugs.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
Works fine but I had to flash it 3 times before it 'took' i.e. the first 2 times it said it flashed but didn't give me root or recovery.
[Galaxy S III General] LPirro:
Same here, Facebook displays a black screen on a picture.
[Galaxy S III General] adnan.makarevic:
hi there, i have the same problem.. and it looks like when i set this two settings, the bug is gone.. but, after every reboot, the hardware overlay setting is not acitvated, and i have to active it manually again..

the rom is nice, very fast, and stable, no freezes, no fc's, no lags.. but there are some problems with the grafic.. as allready pointed, if i open a pic in quickpic, the screen goes black.. if i open a pic in fb, its the same.. when i listen music over poweramp and use a widget on my homescreen, and then pull the notification bar down, the notification bar is transparent on the place where the poweramp widget is placed.. when i move between the apps, like quickpic, poweramp or facebook, in this moment when the os switch from one to the other app, i can see a samsung logo..

otherwise rom is perfect, i hope that would be fixed in the next version..

[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
Lol i get that your a developer but if a tonne of people say it has bugs then trust us it has bugs otherwise we wouldn't report it here. Secondly this is a leak it is not perfect..

It is laggy slow at times, The freaking lock menu keeps displaying the help tips even if you tick don't show, Swiping a shortcut from the lock screen sometimes force closes the program and freezes the phone sometimes, Boot and shutdown animations aren't working. If you switch on your phone and use the camera it keeps showing you the boot screen or your last camera screen if the phone freezes, There is a tonne more but i won't go into details.

Before you call me a noob, moron or whatever you want know that i am also a dev but i have not stepped up to making a custom rom or asop because, I feel there are too many devs doing the same thing. Everyone is doing a great job and i respect that.

I have wiped my phone tried to patch it the official way still buggy, Wiped everything and tried the odin way still buggy, Tried to wipe everything and installed Android HD Revolution rom V4.0 still buggy..
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
Chill dude, I wasn't going to say anything to anyone about being a developer or not. I am simply trying to work out why for me and large numbers of other people we are seeing no bugs at all (none of what you mentioned!) and others like you are seeing a lot.

plus just because this is a leak doesn't mean it has to be buggy, eventually Samsung will test a perfected rom that will go on to be released, technically that could leak (but I don't think this is at that stage yet!).

Yes... but triangle away work..

But that's not a leak, and taken a dump afeter update via OTA, and therefore increases the counter ...

[Galaxy S III General] firaX:
i bet most ppl with issues haven't bothered to fullwipe and/or tried to restore things. I find it always advisable with such "big jumps" as in 4.0 -> 4.1 to just start from scratch (i.e. reinstall apps via market etc).
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
Except just stating "Touchwiz is pointless" is [trolling ?] getting us nowhere. Now with your reply we can see WHY you think this, and it is much more interesting than your first statement. I woud really like Android (and all the proprietary UIs, and all the apps) to get to a unified design, but for now, the basic Android design has change dso much in a small period of time. For the better and the worse ;)

AW: [Leaked JB Firmware] I9300XXUFMB3 (4.2.1) - ODIN Firmware [23-02-13]

@Theshawty:

Since I've met the same problems as you did I just did the following:

- Stable EMR2-ROM (Wanam for me)

- JKay with complete AOSP-settings

- AOSP theme for JKay

- Vapor Spectrum Icon set

This meets the need of keeping full Touchwiz framework capabilities and features whilst having the complete AOSP look with a buttery smooth experience (having whitelisted the phone and contacts app).

Might be an alternative for you?

Cheers

Won't work, is stuck on the "System" phase of it, I tried loading up backup but it says the signature is invalid, even tried one of my older ones and no luck. I can't turn my phone on, I have no backup to restore to...any options?

Bluetooth Issue

Hello

Presently MB5 (although I did try this leaked MB3 which I think caused my problem) with JKAY latest mods although my problem is with ELLC my last rom too

When in a call with BT headset on (and I've had the same issue with 4 different headsets) I can be chatting away and lose sound to me ear, except an echo of my own voice. the other audio is coming from the phone earpiece (not the speaker) . the headset light is still lit. and the headset is still connected. If I press the green headset button (disconnect it) and turn it on again then the call is back in my lug again.....until next time.

I've researched a little and it appears there is/was an issue with Bluetooth on a nexus upgrade, possibly where this leak is sourced from?

Only thing i can think of is try using a sms backup app from the market(hopefully it will back them up) then you will have to factory reset and install any rom you want to get it all to work..you should if made a nandroid backup first and also your changing to a completely different base so should of wiped to begin with...try and learn from your mistakes in the future
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
You should have adb in recovery, if not flash a recovery that supports it, and then use adb to pull the files you need.
