[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephendt0:
Did a bit of a search, couldn't find anything like this for the Samsung Galaxy S3... question is simple - what is your favourite ROM for the Galaxy S3, and why?

Until some of the recent Jelly Bean ROMs from Samsung have leaked, my favourite has been Cyanogenmod 10 nightlies. As much as I love the Google Experience with AOSP, I can't deny that Samsung have done a freaking good job on their Jelly Bean ROMs. I'm currently using the latest Omega v22 ROM and it's amazing. Some of the features in it are really breathtaking, and they have really make a good effort to make it easy to use for the end user, which doesn't help me, but it's a step in the right direction.

So what is your favorite ROM right now and why?

Sorry about that, didn't realise that it's against forum rules? Care to link where it says that? I've seen them in different device threads...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Look through the forum and see all the locked best ROM threads.

They bring out fanboys and can end up as flame wars.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfetaz:
I am many times in hotel rooms without free wifi, so I rely on my 4g for internet. I assume that there would be differences between stock and aosp roms, but within each rom type is a big difference in signal strength possible? Sorry if newbish question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
Correct me anyone if I'm wrong but based on MY experience different ROMS should NOT make a differnce in signal quality/connection...however different kernels I believe can. The different kernels sometime handle the switch over from 3g to 4g better and/or help maintain that 4g connection better than others. Also the other determining factor on your radio signal is different radio software...search the forums for radios and I'm sure you'll find mention of vgl1 and/or f2 etc etc...these are different radio software and some people have better results with others. Its always best to simply try each rom/kernel even radio and see what works best for you. We all have galaxy s3's however that does not make them identical.

Hi Guys !

First i would like to thank the people at XDA for this awesome site. :good:

I had a strange problem with the CM10 nightly (cm-10-20120908-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip), after I flashed it to my SGS2.

The bloody thing wouldn´t play any music, despite me trying 3-4 different players.

I then tried reflashing the ROM, but the problem was still there. - Tried roaming through the settings, searching for something I might have missed. - but with no luck. I tried wiping cache, factory settings, dalvik etc etc ... Still no sound...

Coming to the conclusion that the problem wasn´t the files or settings, I started to think it might be a "driver" or such that wasn´t working.

I then tried flashing another kernel to the phone - and hey presto - IT WORKED !

I flashed the newest Siyah kernel (SiyahKernel S2-v4.1.4)...

I don´t know if this is the right forum to post this in, but I thought I might as well share my discovery, so that people with the same error could make use of it.

To all developers and people using this forum, keep up the good work !

How to extract files from factoryfs.rfs with MagicISO??

Please help!!
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason-EX:
What do you mean by "extract"? and how did you get the idea to use MagicISO? (no offence) All we need to dump the factoryfs.rfs is ADB, type the following:

#su

#mount -o remount, rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

#dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs

Just copy the factoryfs.rfs into the .tar file with Total Commander, and flash it directly to the phone using ODIN.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AayushPathak:
I mean that I HAVE the factoryfs.rfs file and there is also a method where we can extract the system files FROM factoryfs.rfs (System apps, frameworks and blah which can be done with MagicISO)...But my problem is that it does not works for custom ROMs (I wanted to deodex the stock apps using the kitchen ) so i was thinking that there MIGHT be a different procedure to follow with those ROM's .....Stock roms are extracted smoothly....sorry i guess my post is a bit misleading :P

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
Google droid vibrant boot animation and it will bring up a link for shut down boot animation. Its a link to an xda post from tonicacid. There are a lot of older BA's that are pretty cool. You can also do a search in xda, boot animations, and find a bunch. If you find some cwm flash able and you are not sure if they will work, DL it and extract the bootanimation.zip and put in /data/local. If you already have a bootanimation.zip in data local, rename it .bak instead of .zip. And as always don't forget to manually fix permission.

Remember, the search function is your friend!

If you drop one in /data/local and set permissions, you won't have to fuss with the one in /system/media at all and can leave it alone completely.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
Its not data in SD, its at root. Use root browser lite, its free and very user friendly. So it will be /data/local not

/sdcard/data.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
You will need to do this in your phone, place the DL from your pc on your sdcard, then with the root browser lite app move it from /sdcard to

/data/local and fix permission.

I am on paranoid android jb version 2.1 and I am getting extremely fast charging and a lot of battery drain afterwords and now it is fast charging on my ics ROMs as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elijahbrown:
Flashed CM10 last night and have been playing with it all day. was noticing quick drain and then even faster charging. I looked into it and saw lots of recommendations to wipe battery stats after flashing any rom.

Currently waiting for my charge to reach 100% so I can use Battery Calibrator (in app store) I will let you know if this fixes my problem.

PS This app is the same as deleting battery stats from recovery mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
I have experienced this as well. I tried wiping battery stats once but that was some what close to when I first flashed the ROM in the first place. Haven't flashed any other ICS ROMs so I can't give you any insight on that. But I will agree with the above. Wipe battery stats should help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob the plumber:
Jb still charges very fast after calibration of the battery. A new battery is $20, so I'm not too worried about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Are you using the stock battery charger? also on agats and kuban kernel there is an option to increase/decrease the charge rate. But one thing with Lithium Ion batteries as well as other batterys a high/fast charge will decrease their life. also a failing battery(quick drain) will charge much faster than a good battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
It's more of a kernel issue than a ROM issue.

Unfortunately if you want jb, your kernel choices are very, very limited.

Hi guys.

I'm looking for a development team to start a new project called "Team Droidify".

I have been a developer for the Galaxy Ace.

I've developed a rom called DroidACE.

And, now since I have the SIII. I'm looking forward to develop another ROM for the S3.

In this project, I'll mainly act as a ROM Developer. and as a suggester.

I have posted this thread, to provide an opportunity for other devs, themers, designers etc to get the opportunity to contribute in this project.

These are the different ways that one could contribute to this project, through helping in these areas:

ROM Developers

Has some experience.

Ready to work as a team member.

Has some information on how to mod apk (using apktool, apk manager or so.)

Themers

Needs to know how to do image editing.

Has some ideas of what to mod.

Knows some information on apk modding.

Porter.

Needs to know how to port.

Optional:

Knows how to port apk.

Testers.

Has rooted device.

Ready to download, and test. :)

Thread Designers

Knows how to make an eye catching thread on xda.

Some html coding might help.

Server / Domain Hoster.

Host up a website, or server where roms can be uploaded.

Well. I guess that's it.

This team has NO LEADER. It will be a group of devs working together to provide valuable results.

If you're interested for any of those positions please post back here, or if you prefer PM Me.

I'm not looking for only one person in each categories. Actually the more, the better.

Plus, if you have any suggestions. Feel free to post here. I'd really like some suggestions/ideas. :)

Current Team:

121C4, Boot Animation Creator

SimDroid, Themer

croatia1, Porter and Tester.

mardos, Tester.

Brecht82, Tester.

Still need a ROM Developer urgently. -_-

Looking forward to hear from you.

Cheers,

[Galaxy S III General] masterex567:
Small Update.

I've already got one Tester, Porter and Boot Animation Maker.

I'd be looking for one more in those areas.

Please show some feedback.

Because, I want to start the project soon. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Brecht82:
I could be your tester too. But I'm not a developer or anything like that. I'm just interested in Android Development. I want to start it somewhere. I've got a SIII. So I'm here for testing. :)
[Galaxy S III General] masterex567:
Ok...

That's good.

Have you rooted your SIII?

If not, do that with CF-Root.

You can find CF-Root in the original android development section.

Please show some feedback.

Because, I want to start the project soon.

As their was an identical post a few days ago they might have all signed up to that one .

And also, to be honest, the Dev thread isn't really the right place for questions.

I reckon that whenever a thread is created for a new ROM there should also be a corresponding thread for Q&A - that way the Dev thread could be kept clean and easy to read, but the questions would go where they would be seen by all, including the Dec.

Just search in development section for a rom for your phone you like. There will be installation instructions and a kernel to flash.

Make sure battery status is more than 75%, best 100% ;)

1. Download the zip to install the rom and copy it to your sd card. Download the kernel (make sure the right one for your device),too.

2. Download sony flashtool and install it.

3. Open flashtool and click on the flash, select "fastboot mode" and choose "select kernel to flash". Now put your phone in fastboot mode (hold volume up while connecting to pc, blue led will turn on)

4. Select the kernel you have downloaded from the thread of the rom. It should be named boot.img. Flashtool will automaticly flash it.

5. SEE THE LOG FOR ERRORS. IF THERE ARE NO ERRORS/BAD BLOCKS, CONTINUE!

6. Unplug device and restart. Press volume down again and again.

7. Look in the forum thread, what has to be wiped/formatted (for example /system or /data or just do a factory reset).

8. Select "install zip from sd card" -> "choose zip" -> choose the installation zip you put on your sd card. and click yes.

9. Just let it install, don't pull battery, because you think it stucks.

(9.1) If there is an aroma installer, you will have to choose your device (volume up or down to navigate) and home button to select. If required select unlocked bootloader.

(9.2) If there were any fixes on the thread, just flash them, too. For that you had to put on sd card before starting everything!

10. Reboot and enjoy

Hope it helps :)
