I have to say that I've been amazed by jb on the s3, coming from the sensation where jb is cutting edge and hard on the battery I was concerned when the update arrived, after 2 days hard use (including 7.5hrs screen on time) with the anker battery I am amazed.

On the sensation I couldn't get past 12hrs with jb, with the s3 on a stock rom having just disabled all the gimmicky crap and replaced the launcher with adw I couldn't be happier!

Smoother on JB but I think some people over play it. Some placebo effects I think.

[Galaxy S III General] PIRATA!:
Flashing stock rom downloaded from Sammlbile did not mean that you must root.....and flash is the same as Kies would do, but with the only difference that it doesn't tell you!:)

So why don't you do it your self?

Few min work! You'll spent much more time downloading the firmware then installing it;)
[Galaxy S III General] ImS0Raw:
Yeah, guess I will have too. It really annoys me. Any good recommended non themed, tweaked stock ROM? Can someone send me some, thanks. I searched for some, but they are themed or things are removed etc..
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Well I'm using Omega 33.2 currently and only thing that's themed is the toggles and battery are blue

WanamLite is themed green circle... So I'm not sure.. Maybe stock rom with a custom kernel?

While I am happier with jelly Bean than I've ever been with any mobile firmware and wouldn't care if I never got another update as I loooove 4.1.1 with touch wiz stock, was just wondering whether there was any official or unofficial eta for s3 to get 4.1.2 or 4.2? The idea of getting the touch wiz update to have 2 app Windows open at once seems really cool to me, especially as a user of windows 8

[Galaxy S III General] sarbe:
Sorry mate I misread your post.
[Galaxy S III General] ImS0Raw:
Yeah, thanks but the problem is... Already running stock 4.1.1 with custom kernel and experience this crap. Well I guess I will have to flash alot of ROM to find something I like.
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
No worries it happens! I hope that after 4.1.2 they don't worry about 4.2 so that when 5.0 Congress out they will be ready for putting that in the s3 rather than still be fixing up an older firmware. Rumours say 5.0 comes soon and nexus users say 4.2 doesn't add much.
[Galaxy S III General] Cyclosporine:
Supposedly JB 4.1.2 will be officially available on December for our devices, but with Samsungs you never know.
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
I see ur point but you are obviously thinking custom roms will run better on ur s3 than stock rom? Well think again.

I have tried most stock roms that have been released and also almost all custom roms, and to be honest there's very little difference in smoothness and efficiency. Unfortunately, Samsung have a lot of optimisation to do in the JB roms.

Also, User input has a high impact on those properties ... Ie apps installed, settings, kernel settings etc.

Galaxy S3 Iusacell México

I have a Galaxy SIII from Iusacell in México. I've been waiting for a while now, and we haven't got the update yet!...(I don't understand the reason since its practically unbranded, they only add their logo when the phone starts, but no bloatware at all)

I want to try an unbranded rom, though im not sure if I should change the Modem and CSC after the update to get a good performance speaking of coverage. Also I would appreciate it if someone could recommend me a particular ROM.

In advance, thank you very much!

Hi @ll,

i'm using the Syiah-Kernels Dual-Boot feature for booting up with Omega33.2 (Android 4.1.2) or Cynogenmod10 "Helly Bean" 11.15 (Android 4.1.2).

Who cares about 4.2? Brings nothing new. So so content with 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 thanks to the updates to touch wiz will be the Icing on the cake. I then hope they devote all their energy to 5.0 or 4.3 klp whenever one or the other I'd announced/comes rather than wasting so much time on a slight update.

[Galaxy S III General] Anthartic Rain:
Hi guys.

So I just got my GT-I9300 and the first thing I did was flash it out to 4.1.2.

I was testing some HD games like NFS Most Wanted and Nova 3 and I have a very noticeable lag, NFS is "playable" but less than optimus, NOVA3 is absolutely not playable at all.

I saw other users experiences and it's supposed to run smoothly considering S3 is top tier. But in some post (Don't remember) I read that Samsung haven't polish their GPU driver at all for Android 4.1. And we have to wait the official upgrade to get a comfortable experience, in this case GPU performance.

Anybody can confirm this or have more information?
[Galaxy S III General] nishwanth:
Hi. You are saying you got "stock" 4.1.2 on your SGS3... What model number?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
He's saying "stock" for a reason. I bet he uses the 4.1.2 leak in the form of a custom rom (omega, maybe) hence why he's saying "stock".
[Galaxy S III General] nishwanth:
I currently have a Galaxy Nexus... But I am thinking to get SGS3.. I like TouchWiz features... I am not sure which "UNLOCKED" model of SGS3 has got STOCK JELLY BEAN update to it.

I found one in Amazon. Seems to be a Germany model. Do not want to buy it if it doesnt get Jelly Bean. Please help..
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
The i9300 has official Jelly Bean in the form of 4.1.1 (and a leaked 4.1.2)

I would suggest looking into buying an SGH-i747 which is the US AT&T variant of the GS3 and never once buy cursed exynos crap. Unlike the i9300, the SGH-i747 has fully working (99% at least) AOSP JB thanks to the qualcomm chip it's packing.

About the stock dialer/contacts lag, one of S3's running on 4.0.4 ICS branded by o2 doesn't lag at all , even if i close it when i start it again is instantly. So should be a fix for this. The o2 branded 4.0.4 ICS doesn;t have lag in dialer/contacts.
[Galaxy S III General] Galactus:
All that means is that it hasn't been killed by the system yet. I can repeatedly open and close it and it will be smooth. Come back to it after maybe 20-30 minutes (When it's been cleared from the ram) and once again you'll have the delay upon opening it. If I do open it, and it's instant, a quick check to running processes will show its still in ram.

This is absolutely correct. Play a game or two and it will be "killed" quickly.

Help!

Well so here is my situation, according to Sammobile my country (Chile) is getting Jelly bean now:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/12/89289021.jpg/

The problem is that my phone is unbranded and it has the original stock ICS that came with it, and none of those 2 CSC that are getting JB in my country, is my CSC. MY CSC is I9300OJVBLH1 and I don't know if the unbranded version of the phone will even get the update here or not, and I'm honestly sick of waiting.

have never used Odin or any kind of program to flash my phones (I had a Galaxy S2 before) so I don't know if I should do it or not.

So my quesiton for you guys, that know way more than I do about this, is: Should i keep waiting for JB to get it through KIES? (I've checked on Kies and OTA and it says that my firmware is up to date) or should I just flash my phone? In case I should flash it... what Firmware should I get, the one with my CSC from another country or the one for my own country but with a different CSC? Should I just change the CSC with the app and see if I can get the update that way instead?

If updating manually through Odin is your recommendation, could you please walk me through it? Will this increase my flash count?

Thank you very much for all your help!!!
[Galaxy S III General] Dean-xXx:
Better flash with Odin from your own country and different CSC.

You will find guide for flashing here on xda. Most important to make sure you will not have any problem, before flashing and after clear cache, clear dalvik cache ,data, factory reset. NO when you flash a stock ROM will not increase your flash count.

At the moment i see is only for Poland available 4.1.2 official on sammobile. So better wait a bit to upload for the rest of the countries. Is no point to flash the 4.1.1 version.
[Galaxy S III General] Pirithous:
Is it really as simple as this?

Instructions For Flashing Firmware:

•Extract the firmware

•Open the included Odin

•Turn off your device

•Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)

•Click PDA and select *.tar.md5

•Then finally click START!

I found it on another post here on xda.

If i'm already going to flash it, I was wondering if I could just flash the Polish stock 4.1.2 instead of 4.1.1... Would it work even if i'ts not my country/region?

[Galaxy S III General] radoslavp:

What do you mean with a new modem? sorry if the question is dumb, but i have never used odin and i would like to make sure that what I am doing is fine. I am currently downloading odin 1.85 from xda, and i'll download the latest 4.1.2 polish stock JB.

so, what do you mean when you say i should change the modem? What problems could i face if i dont?

Im gonna go for factory settings and wipe all my data from the phone

Im gonna run odin with the firmware

Is there anything else I should do? Im still confused about why i should change my modem, how to do that and if thats necessary or just a recommendation. I am from chile, my phone is unbranded and its running the stock 4.0.4 ICS that came with it. It says that my CSC is THR, which means my csc is for Iran and im from south america and still my phone works like a charm

Thanks so much! Its my first time flashing and i relaly hope not to mess it up

How does JellyBean fixes the fragmention of the apps?

And does the V6 SuperCharger doing the same thing if you run it on ICS?

Run the firmware you are installing .

If network connection is poor then look for a modem that matches your area . network note your old baseband in that respect .

See modem thread in general section .

[Galaxy S III General] akhil333:
your steps looks fine to me. Proceed with your steps. after flashing do a factory reset using settings (only for conformation). Happy Flashing.

the modem is used for connecting with your network operator and used for making calls. you have to flash your regional modem. (upto my Knowledge)
