Where do i find/download these kernels?

no offense meant, but if you are asking this question I would advise holding off on flashing any kernels and get more comfortable with just flashing roms first -- Roms are more pre-packaged and you can build your comfort level by trying out a series of roms prior to messing with the kernel which is a more powerful and inherently more influential element to your phone's operation
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SGH-I747m:
Appreciate the input :) I have flashed many roms but i allways go back to stock, i flashed a kernal earlier but i went back to stock kernal because im scared of burning my processor, not quite sure how safe undervolting and overclocking is, and ya im a noob just got my first android phone about 2 months ago and just rooted it last month.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
I haven't tried faux kernel but ktoonzes will be OK left stock processor wise, it won't burn out your processor. Plus you will benefit from his built in tweaks. As far as over clocking/ undervoting ( oc/uv) if you go too far your phone will either freeze up or reboot, so don't use any "set at boot" options until you know your phone will handle it. I use ktoonzes kernel with no oc just the lower frequencies and a mild under volt for battery savings with no ill effects.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lgsshedden:
thanks for seeing the comment in the way it was intended! seems you have going about things the right way: everyone's phone will accept OC differently, some operate fine at higher levels, others not -- Faux does not post "recommended" levels for this reason, asks that you make adjustments in small increments and use your phone to see how it handles the changes. It is very much a trial and error. I had an older S1 that was wonderfully resilient and would take any setting and still function -- I lost it long before it had a chance to get damaged, My own sense is the phone itself is robust and hard to actually kill -- my earlier caution was more to prevent you jumping in the deep end too soon.

I have tried both Faux and the KT747 kernels, presently running just stock which is in itself a pretty decent kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caha2639:
I tried Ktoonz and it made my playstore act weird and not connect and error out and such.

So I reversed back to my backup image with the rom's initial kernel that was installed with it.

I only find Kernel's being useful for OC or Dual Booting if you need/want the fun with that.

Otherwise find an amazing rom like Serenity or WanamLite or something if you want more customizability

OR a stock rom whichever one suites you better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
Perhaps your voltages and/or settings were too much for your phone to handle. When it gets out of hands, apps will FC a lot and phone will usually freeze or reboot. If you didn't edit the settings, I don't think the kernel left at default settings would affect the Playstore's connection.

Hi,

I was messing around in clockwork mod and created a partition and assigned a 256 meg swap file, my problem is how do I get rid of this partition and get my 256 meg of ram back from the swap file. In settings its only showing 718 meg of ram now.

Many thanks in advance.

Tony
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
Not sure how to get rid of the swap, but the 718 is standard because there is already RAM reserved for the system that you can't see, the so that's why it says only 718.

Hi everyone. I need to change my Mac Address on a stock rooted ICS SGS3 Sprint.

None of the apps work in changing the mac address on this device I tried them all.

To my understanding there is a .conf file somewhere in the /system/ dir.

Any help on witch directory this is located and the file name to edit?

Thanks!

Hi everyone

First time post here so, hello...

I have recently bought what i thought was a Samsung Galaxy S3 but on further inspection it appears to be a fake.

Some things that are wrong include:

Battery says Sunsung

Baseband version: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V20 2012/07/13 18:23

Kernel version: 3.0.13 root@android#1 Sat Aug 4 02:00:11 CST 2012

Build number: IMM76D.I9300ZSALE9

Custom build version: 1344016820

Any ways i was wondering if any one knows if it possible to flash the phone to a relatively new version of cyanogenmod?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
seems you got a mediatek (mtk) clone.

Not only will they not run the official operating system including aftermarket ones like Cm (completely different hardware) but they are vastly less powerful and have less interesting hardware than the real S3.

Additionally they don't tend to live very long and have lots of issues.

Try to return it if possible and go to local police.

If you imported it from eg China you're out of luck, buh then again how do u expect an original from there?

Android clone development

I also have mediatek version of an s3..GT-i9300.. If not root and I hope not offensive, many of us cannot afford such an expensive devise. However, Android is and will always will be an open source project... meaning the platform is simply a measure of fire power.. What i realy want to say is that my devise may not be original samsung.. but my OS is Andoid for sure.. and I think developers in this forum are assisting with andoid development and not samsung development.

I am looking for a compatible rom for MEDIATEK version of S3 GT-i9300. So far i came across needrom.com and also on xda http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358560 where some discussion are ongoing.. (i do note that the scatter file selection is not mentions (where to get the scatter file). I downloaded a zip archive (ROM) and after extracting, it didnt have a scatter.txt file..

I would like to ask if cynogenmod (any) builds are compatible/can be installed? I need advise on available roms...or how to find if one will be compatible..

Thanks in advance for the valuable time...and the understanding..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SignetSphere:
Cyanogenmod only supports the original S3 devices so you'll have no luck on finding one. And roms for clones are scarce so i'm afraid you'll have to find a dedicated forum that supports your device.

As said either find a fake forum or build a rom yourself .

Knowledge of fake/ clone is not on this forum .

Simply its not a Samsung product and questions should be posted in a Mediatek forum .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You are wrong. This forum is for android development of the gt-i9300 international galaxy s3. Nothing else. None of us have your device so we cannot help with development, methods, processes or roms.

There are general forums to teach how to develop android for a device generally but without drivers, source code etc, you won't get far. Either way though, this is not the place for that.

Regardless of what you can afford, you must seek out your own forum for your own device. Your device has nothing in common with this device or this forum. It doesn't even share any hardware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxed4901:
HMMMMM?

I at no time mentioned that the GTi9300 MTK i have is anything common with "your"device.. i am saying is, both are android platform (samsung or AOSP) and development forums are to discuss on issues faced during tweaks.. sorry to ask here... if thats the reason u were offended.

the name of the post here is "ROOTING/FLASHING CYNOGENMOD ON "FAKE" S3... i think i am in the correct place?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Striatum_bdr:
You don't understand either. Android is open source, but is also phone specific ! In each built you have a kernel that runs specific drivers for in built hardware present in your phone!

And for that cm devs need code source. And I think above all that's it's a 'ethical' reason. If cm supports border line illegal clones, it will officialize them.

Those phones are totally different it's exactly the same than asking in a HTC forum why they can't provide you a Rom for your Sony.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
No you are in the wrong place this is SGS3 I9300 or I9305 forum .

It is not a fake / clone forum nothing on here is for you and it is a totally different phone .

You need to find a fake SGS3 forum .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
So is motorola razr. Truth is posting here is no different to posting in the razr forum. You chose this forum because it looks the same but the similarity ends there.

This forum is for the international s3 only. Not razr. Not clone.

Fake Samsung Galaxy

i bought a fake samsung galaxy notes 4,

when i use it i get a lot af advertisement and doesnt let me to do anything

i know is hard to fix but is it something that i can get from it instead of throwing it to he garbage , like using it as a camera or as a home tablet or else

please your comments
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mgs333:
Already searched.

My phone keeps hanging while transferring pictures to the computer via USB, I tried as both a camera (PTP) and as a media device (MTP), it just gets stuck. While connected as a camera, and I select 'import new pictures', it scans all the Picasa temp folders and also downloads the thumbnails for the videos I took as well.

I tried deleting all pics/videos from the camera folder and took a few test shots, and it still gets stuck while transferring the pictures.

How do I fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemidroids:
Dont know how to fix your problem but I can suggest AirDroid for transferring files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Use adb for wired transferring... Mtp is piece of poop and I don't recommend it... Use either adb push to move to phone or adb pull to get file from the phone

I am seriously on the verge of bying an any network S3 here in the UK. Just before I make the jump can I ask if :-

1) Is there an app like lockinfo for JB iphones that acts like a today screen, listing all your upcoming appointments, missed calls, messages etc from the lock screen? I am happy to JB the andriod if I can do this.

2) Is there an app that works, to record telephone calls both ways without the beep.

3) I have already had huge responses over the volume hack, thanks everyone.

If I can the the 3, then I will take the jump.

All the best

Honestly you should stick to the iPhone. If it does everything you need and has all the apps that you use why bother switching? If it's for faster performance or bigger screen wait for the iPhone 5.

Yeah I noticed most iPhone users are too dumb to ever learn and love android. iOS is perfect for idiots and grandmas to use. So... I say stick with your icrap last thing we need is to convince another iPhone user to switch.

I tried switching a few iPhone idiots over and I've given up. They always complain how it's so hard to use and blame me for talking them into it, not my fault that using iOS for so long has killed off most of their brain cells.
[Galaxy S III General] mbeaumont:
Thanks everyone

Can I thank everyone for their input, even to those who thought my topic was a dumb. I want a new phone and bored with apple so no dis-respect, I have taken onboard everything said and decided to give the S3 a try. I have the option of returning it so I have nothing to loose and everything to gain.

I thought the JB term was hilarious, of course its jelly bean... :p

Thanks all

Don't believe the iSheep hype that IOS has more Apps than Android because Android can do anything iPhone can plus anything else you could ever wish, and the only reason IOS has more Apps is all the junk on the App Store that's never even been downloaded once.

Sigh. This thread really goes to show how disappointingly immature some Android users are.

[Galaxy S III General] -A-P-M-:
I traded iPhone 4s for SGS3 and I like it much more. There arent limits like you cant set mp3 for a ring tone or alarm tone etc. Stock SGS3 is more open and adjustable than jailbroken iOS. You can find executive assistant for lockscreen info in Google Play, also there are many apps for call recording..

Here on XDA you will find a lot of helpful infos, so it will be easier to get used on android:)

All types of people no matter what forum you go act like idiots, I mean come on the mans asking for help are you guys that immature that you have to abuse him instead of Helping him? He had the brains to ignore you all and still give it a shot..

Everyone wants to try something different just try your best to help. And if you do not have anything good to say just ignore it. Your all making the Android community look like it's full of douche bags seriously help or ignore them..

Android has all the things you mentioned mate you can get apps for everything you mentioned i hope you give it a try and hopefully you like it..
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
True, there are fanboys everywhere and its disgusting. But @ OP, you just figured out the matrix, your free now and know the truth! I'm pretty sure whatever you can do on a jail broken iPhone, you can do it on an android phone ( maybe even without root :p) so try the S3 and keep it if you like it, if not you can always, return it. Good luck:)
[Galaxy S III General] Toufik1967:
Hi Mbeaumont.....Let me share with you my personal experience....I use to have an IPhone 4....and was quite happy with it, till I realized that whenever I want to explore more the OS and make the best out of it....was a real nightmare, no way to play with the system even Jailbroken, the limits are there and the Break of the Jail was only a shadow door to endless issues and tricky sophistications....I'm not blaming Apple for doing that.....I do have all the Apple MacBook serie......but to me if you are an explorer and want to learn more about any device you buy the choice specifically in the mobile market is very obvious.

Since I have bought the S3 back in July......what an amazing experience it is.....this phone and especially this Android OS is a piece of art that will make every single day of your life for passionate people like me.

Finally I quote John Keating in the famous "Dead Poets Society" movie........"There's a time for daring and there's a time for caution, and a wise man understands which is called for."

But it's true that the app market is less appetizing on android atm, even if this is changing with time, and the change is speeding up. Yesterday handled the iphone a bit, looked like a kid's toy to me, even if i recon being happy using it all these years. Also the gs3 is HUGE compared to it and takes a little time totake a good grip on.
