Well I must also be stupid then as I like Touchwiz, nice to know how you feel about people who like stuff you don't though.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
*sigh*

I didn't say that writing that one likes Touchwiz was a retarded statement. What I find retarded is calling vanilla android a design mess.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
I might be right when I said some time in November for the unlocked galaxy s3 uk Samsuck and fail at updates
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
I've been reading the current "argument" on here and I'm sorry but I have to agree with the above statement. Vanilla android to me... Is a mess... Design wise. Maybe not in terms of fluidity and speed, but that incoming call screen shot earlier was a good example.

I am currently running dual boot with sammy jb and omega v2... 4.1.2...

I honestly don't see the big deal with AOSP. I keep returning to Sammy JB every time I persuade myself to boot to AOSP... Touchwiz has come a long way since the original sgs.

Just my opinion...

But to be fair... this Topic is very much personal preference and should probably be kept for another thread...
[Galaxy S III General] mossy1963:
#kennylegend....nice post and agree.

TW was very unpopular some time ago and rightly so which is why I experimented with almost every launcher and custom rom since I got in at the eclair level with my old SGS1.

I sold my sgs1 after christmas when there were excellent deals on the nexus s and have been bored to tears with it ever since....this despite flashing loads of custom roms ... and having 4.1.1 since July and 4.1.2 since two days ago...way before any non-Nexus phones.

Now got my new sgs3 a month ago and found the love again. yes I've got Nova Prime - the paid for launcher version and probably the best JB launcher out there but I don't run it.

And here's the confession...I love TW. I love the integration and intelligence of being able to swipe left or right from contacts for sms or calling.

It might have been trendy to knock TW a while ago, but it aint any longer. It makes the sgs3 sexy and a joy to use. I used to be flash roms every day. I'm now on stock and don't feel the need.

Every FW for me from eclair, through froyo, gingerbread, ICS and now JB has got better and better and the TW UI complements the FW perfectly.

You might not love my wife....but I do...thats all that matters :)
[Galaxy S III General] Poshdaz:
The fact touchwiz uses about a hundred different colours annoys me, I find the launcher laggy and redraws constantly.

I would go to CM like a shot, but the apple like Exynos closed shop is preventing it.

Waiting months for updates, if they come at all due to the joy of merging touchwiz certainly doesn't aid my enthusiasm for it. I expect when the SGS 4 comes out and is no longer Samsungs major cash cow, any future android updates will either take forever or result in some crappy value pack.

From the verge Update:*A T-Mobile UK spokesperson told us that "T-Mobile is working closely with its device manufacturing partner Samsung to roll-out a Jelly Bean update as soon as possible," but does not yet have an exact timeline.

This doesn't look good for us waiting for the unbranded jb
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Why not just build your own using the 3 ROM and an unbranded ICS ROM? It's easy to do and then you would be ahead of the game, or would it spoil your fun whining every day?
[Galaxy S III General] dn*:
I've never followed updates to any degree before, but isn't it a case that Samsung create the update and then send it out to carriers who then make any modifications? Unless some carriers like Three are jumping the gun before it's finished?

I think I read somewhere earlier than Samsung had released it today, which to me at least, suggests they will be releasing the International FW update shortly themselves.
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
To be fair, it seems logical that the UNBRANDED should be the first goddamn release of a new build! Not the last.
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
I don't see why, the carriers are pushing the phone they should get the updates first.
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Simpy because they are just adding their bloatware to the already finished unbranded ROM. So it exists.

I got sick of waiting so instslled the latest stock rekease lh9. So much smoother,only gripe is smart keyboard keeps force closing. The stock keyboard seems fine though so will do for now. I havent come across any other issues yet.
[Galaxy S III General] todd_10:
Out of curiosity, does the stock keyboard remember words you've added to the dictionary after switching the phone off then on again? Seems to be a problem with stock 4.0.4...
[Galaxy S III General] markn73:
I dobt take much notice tbh mate. I have predictive txt disabled. The other keyboards work its just that they sometimes force close when submitting txts etc
[Galaxy S III General] Camisas:
Hello! After having been reading xda for several months (previously as a i9001 user), I decided to report my experience with these leaks hoping it will be useful for somebody ^^

DLH9: custom keyboards all FC (as is already well known), which is such a dealbreaker for many people. Furthermore, once the proximity sensor turns on, it will never turn off until reboot, shortening battery life and maybe exposing it to break if it stays on for too long. Apart from that and a little issue with battery life (which is worsen by the proximity sensor bug but already exists for itself), ROM has good performance and is battery smooth. Anyway, as a personal opinion, bugs make my user experience very uncomfortable, so I found myself having to go back to another leak.

DLH4: everything works for me. It is less smooth than DLH9 (lacks of true JB buttery smoothness), but everything seems to work fine. The only issue I find is some kind of trouble with 3D rendering, which may cause games being played to pause.

Just my 2 cents

Upgrading I9300XXDLH8 OTA...

Hi folks,

I flashed my Tmobile UK S3 with I9300XXDLH8, and it seems to run ok... *although*:

Have/had a problem with getting Mobile Data connection - refused to connect to data at all for over 24hrs; however that seemed to happen once before I flashed too for a short time... got Tmob to switch the SIM for a new one... seems to be ok at the moment (fingers crossed!)

Have an intermittent random reboot where the device will vibrate once, then 2 seconds later vibrate 2more times together and reboot (happens once/twice a day)

Otherwise, seems to work lovely! OH... and still have the odd and often reported 2-5 sec launcher cold boot/redraw say once a day too... but no where near as bad as with the originally installed Tmobile UK/stock ROM

ANYWAY... my question is, when the 'officially released' Samsung JB ROM gets released, will my LH8 S3 be able to update to it OTA so I can get back on track with Official Sammy updates? Or will I now forever be stuck in a world of having to download ROMs and installing them via Odin?

Since updating to LH8, I am now unable to update via Kies (says "Your device does not support upgrading via Kies"). Although I do at least now have the OTA Software update option available on the phone now (which was removed in the Official Tmob UK stock firmware)

Grateful for advice :good:
[Galaxy S III General] Joravis:
For your random reboot issue, this type of vibration happens when a process crashes. You can try to search in your log what crashed, and maybe someone will find a solution ;)

I noticed 2 little things on this rom :

- The LED blinks constantly (at a short interval)

- The screen does not lock immediately : when the screen goes off, if I press the home button in less than 2 seconds, it goes on (not locked), the app which is opened is resumed and then the device returns to the home screen
[Galaxy S III General] gchindi:
My kies application is getting updated, is that an indication that we may see JB update very soon?! Sammy could be making the kies application compatible for SGS3 jb update? Ooooop
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Looking at past Samsung behavior, I don't expect JB to be out this month. In fact, I believe they'll drop the OTA's in early october at the earliest. I just hope I'm proven wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] moonytoonyking:
maybe we can force sammy to speed up the update process buy threating to buy Iphones :D :D :D
[Galaxy S III General] Moogle Stiltzkin:

[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
Hey do you all think with all these leaks lately that soon we should have a stable version of CM10 or AOKP? I really wish there was a stable version of the stock Android JB. It just seems everything is on hold till the official version from samsung is out.
[Galaxy S III General] mariosraptor:
final should be out before 12/9/12.

that is the date crApple will present their new iphone from the past. lol
[Galaxy S III General] störte:
It is going really fast with the leaks.

I think they will release the final soon.

As far as i read on the other threads it seems the LI1 is almost perfect.

I am waiting now for another Update from Dragon. That Rom becomes my favourite one.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
cm10 team is desperately waiting for the source to get released which will only happen after the release of official rom
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
After, yes, but there's no saying in when it will happen. Yes, Samsung must release the source as what they're using is open source, but they don't have to release it immediately when the official firmwares hit our phones.

They most likely will release it, though. Last they wanna do is piss off developers more than they have already.
[Galaxy S III General] UrbanDesigns:

Yeah I was wondering if Samsung fixed it, I know it's a google thing - it's a bad google thing :/
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
I don't think so, it works perfectly with Windows and not with Apple, so both Google and Samsung are likely to keep it. :D
[Galaxy S III General] pähkinä:

[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
It's not a proper drive letter and I can't use other 3'rd party tools to talk to the phone. The file handling under Windows MUST be explorer. Old method I could use Teracopy for example.

[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:

Why does this problem keep following me.

I unlock my phone and it asks, would I like to use TouchWiz or ADW Launcher Pro as my launcher (I want ADW) so I just choose "always" for ADW.

Re-boot phone.

Same question

Re-boot phone.

Same question

Open a link in an email for youtube, it asks me which app. - Choose youtube app, choose always.

Re-boot phone.

Do it again, asks me which app.

[Galaxy S III General] eKulzz:
Mate, I see you whining on nearly every page whenever I read this thread. Just be patient, JB will eventually come to you!

There's nothing super special about it anyway. Sure, it is a little faster, but I found ICS just as usable on this phone.
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
I think I finally found the solution.

Stop rebooting the phone and turn it off more, seems like a reboot doesn't commit all data correctly unlike a shutdown.

(Yes, I realise how ridiculous that sounds but it just solved it for me)

Oh and the phone was wiped, 100% clean.
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
I agree. Sounds like a data issue to me.

I would wipe /data and set up the phone again. I've never had this issue.

[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
You haven't got Jellybean, what are you doing here? :lol:
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Gotta be honest here, I can genuinely notice the performance increase - colour me surprised.

There's still too much animation. I've gone into dev options to disable what I can but sadly so much stuff still animates.

Still - quite fast, noticable increase over ICS and 100% sure it's not just placebo / kidding myself - good stuff.

[Galaxy S III General] P_Jazzy:
Same here. Its because your phone is unbranded. All the carriers have to pass the image before it is released. It will be available in a few weeks as this one takes the longest to get approval.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
WRONG

Nothing to do with unbranded or branded .

Simple fact is branded first is the way that Google want the updates .

Unbranded does not take longer to to get approval its usually released first .

Are unbranded updates being held back answer is yes .

[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Newbie dumb question here.

How do I properly root this the wannam ROM so my phone doesn't have to have me 'grant' root access to each app?

I think I need to flash a different kernel or something using ODIN right? I'm fairly competent at that.

I HATE HATE HATE the method that's been implimented in wannam lite, with me having to grant each app and the slowness it introduces when an approved app "asks" for root, then the SuperUser app has to think about it.

Samba filesharing simply will not work for me and I stronly suspect it's the reason.

hysteria seems to be setting in

I've been following this thread for a few weeks now because I'm as keen as everyone else to get my hands on Jelly Bean, but it seems like people are letting their frustrations get the better of them.

Thing is, no amount of ranting and raving on here (or any other forums) will change Samsung or the various networks rollout schedules. The rollout will happen for you when it happens.

If you've got it already then great. If you haven't, then remember patience is a virtue and try and be virtuous on here...and if you haven't got the patience then because you're on here then try one of the many JB roms that are available.

I love the XDA Developers site and it's helped me many times over the years (and I've even tried to help others myself in the past), but the one thing I dislike about the whole site (which unfortunately isn't unique to XDA) is that people are all too ready to take their frustrations out on others for usually very little reason (broken English, basic queries or sometimes just sheer pig headedness) - I sense I might get flamed for my opinions, but all I want to say is get some perspective people....Yes, we all want Jelly Bean...but it's ONLY a phone operating system upgrade - it's not going to make you handsome or rich, it's not going to cure all the world's ills, and it won't win you the man or woman of your dreams. What it will probably do is improve the user experience of your phone a little and cause some incompatability problems with some of your apps.

Just be patient people, enjoy the phone as it is and be thankful you are lucky enough to be in a position to own what is essentially a luxury item.

Have fun, enjoy your gadgets and respect the folk on here!!

[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Actually I didn't get anything of the sort, I've done what the guy suggested, samba filesharing is still broken with the "enabled - not running" bug.

It's awful when apps 'ask for root' and the system locks up trying to provide it, it's such a sloppy method - always makes my phone feel like molasses. Not slick in the slightest.

Have u flashed cf-root v6.4?

Kernel and recovery partition are separate on the S3 so flashing a custom kernel won't help here.
[Galaxy S III General] robogo1982:
I am using WanamLite 4.0 and have absolutely no problems with SuperSU. Do you use the latest version of SuperSU? Do you even use SuperSU or SuperUser? If the latter, try removing it and using SuperSU instead. You also might want to try updating binaries for SuperUser before that.

Which kernel are you using now? Try flashing CFRoot 6.4 first, and try granting su rights again.

I did a precautionary backup using Kies. However, following the update, I didn't have to do anything different.
