How are you wiping the device on recovery? I always wipe like this

Format system

Format data

Format cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Wipe data/factory reset

Then flash my ROMS
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] alexnaoumi:
i do data factory rest, cache, and dalvik..im s on, unlocked...i did the fast boot boot.img and it says okay..how do i get to recovery from there to flash the miui or sense 3.6 rom have on the sd card
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
did you do the fastboot reboot command? I think you skipped the last step...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] alexnaoumi:
i typed fastboot reboot and it booted the gingerbread rom i had and its still boot looping...how do i go to recovery to flash the miui rom so it can actually boot...im s-on and unlocked. i can get as far as fast boot boot.img and it saying OKAY while im in the bootloader..just dont know what to do next..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HappyKhicken:
You did install clockworkmod recovery, right? If so, just yank the battery then put it back in. Hold the volume down button and power at the same time, you'll enter the bootloader (make sure not to have the phone plugged in while doing this or it won't work). Press volume down till you highlight Recovery, then press power to enter it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
flash my MIUI rom, then extract the boot.img from that rom zip and perform the steps I listed in my last post
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] alexnaoumi:
i did it...it took me a while but i did it...i hate htc phones. you all actually helped me, ill show you what i did...after the last command, i wiped data, cache, and dalvik and then i flashed miui (which my friend loves by the way)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:

Hi guys,

I just bought a Nexus 7 and I love it. Issue is the differences between that and the TouchWiz are getting annoying.

nothing huge but would prefer having the same on both.

This isn't a what rom is best question, but mainly which offers the closest to pure Jelly Bean for GS3?

I know Cyanomod is popular, would that be a good place to start?
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
Try super nexus by faryaab. That is closest to stock experience.

☞ sent from GS3 or Nexus
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Any AOSP based Rom, like pure AOSP, cyanogenmod 10 or AOKP will do, they all use the same launcher as nexus 7 just the latter two have extra features like overclocking and extra settings. AOSP is completely clean.
[Galaxy S III General] Esra:
AOKP seems to be ICS?
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Start from CM10 and then move on AOSP based custom Roms.. There are aokp builds which are using jb

[Galaxy S III General] lichti1901:
Wait until jb source is out and I`m pretty sure there will be a aosp based rom. I hope so :)

All AOSP roms are boring. They seem to be a little bit faster but after some time i feel there is things absent here and there.
[Galaxy S III General] Dav_prime:
For me the beauty of aosp is that you add what you want to fill in the gaps. I just flashed CM9 and love it so far. The only thing I really miss is smart stay.
[Galaxy S III General] Eeelgen:

[Galaxy S III General] victorator:
One of the biggest benefits of owning an S3 is having the customized UI you are complaining about. You get a really good messaging app with lots of cool features (like zooming with volume buttons when you're in the car for example, color schemes, you can choose whatever background you like, you are not confined to eye hurting white). You get samsung apps with lots of free apps you would have to pay for, also apps specifically for the S3, optimized for looks and performance. You get direct call, smart stay. You get the smoothest and nicest looking launcher with weather. Everything working out of the box. If it's only the launcher that's bugging you, just use trebuchet, apex or nova. The rest you shouldn't really complain about IMO. Pure android is lacking in looks and functionality, also all the custom roms you install will have worse performance in both 2d and 3d.
[Galaxy S III General] leoni1980:
You might be right about 3D performance but the OS on CM9 is a HELL of a lot snappier, which - for someone who doesn't play games - is more important. No home button lag either.

I bought the SIII for the hardware and consider the software to be a travesty: it's like Samsung tried to cram as much useless crap in there as possible just so they could say they did it first. Their design standards and eye for colour are hideous. Touchwiz genuinely offends me. If it were not for the sublime hardware I wouldn't touch Samsungs with a bargepole. I'm one of those people who wishes that when you booted your Android phone for the first time you got the choice of stock or manufacturer-branded firmware.

Best wishes to anyone who likes Touchwiz but it's not for me, and I thank those wonderful devs who continue to work hard on removing it and giving us hardware lovers a purer Android experience.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] victorator:
I'm not sure by what you mean. The launcher or the menus? They are both equal or faster on stock. No home button lag - install Jkay mod alpha for LI5 and you have that sorted as well. To me the stock android look is so poor and lacks in functionality. My Gnex on stock looks like it's an empty device with basic functionality only. It's a matter of preference I guess. I understand your point of view and wish cm9 and 10 were as fast as the stock samsung roms. They are not.

Not in the ui, not in apps. Battery life is also worse. Fact.
[Galaxy S III General] leoni1980:
Generally I find everything on CM9 feels a lot faster. I have been on stock for most of my ownership of the S3 so I know what the stock OS feels like - whether that's with ICS or the Jellybean leaks (up to LI4). I suppose it's down to personal choice but I don't personally find any functionally to be lacking in the stock ROM on the Nexus 7. I think stock Android is beautiful and I hate the fact that Samsung feels the need to add replace perfectly good things with rubbish ones - like that crappy keyboard of theirs.

Why not at least leave the stock keyboard and the launcher installed and allow the choice for the layman. Things like Smart Stay are a bit of a gimmick, fine, and other things like the swipe to take a screenshot, S(hit)-Voice and other stupid sensor related 'features' are utter crap that no-one surely uses...for me though, the main problem is that Touchwiz is ugly. Everything from the SMS app to the uglified notification bar.

Anyway, each to their own.

btw what the difference between AOKP and AOSP ??

AOKP = android open kang project but I also don't know what is that =.=
[Galaxy S III General] w1nter456:
Aosp is just pure Google stock experience while aokp add some additional features like theme chooser, customize layout and etc.

Swype. It is completely free and fast.
[Galaxy S III General] irzero:
The problem with Touchwiz is that is has serious lag. Open the Dialer and it takes a good second to open up. Same with all the UI its just slow.

It has a ton of good features such as slide to call and stuff but the lag is killing me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
On my phone SDCard, (not the external) I have a folder, \clockworkmod\blobs that is 1.3GB big and has 2300+ folders in it. I went looking for what blobs are & they seem to be code parts. I have used CF-Root from Chainfire and I think that installed a CWM - are these files related to that or can I delete them?

I'm running the latest JB leak DLI5 and CF-Root, other than that, there's ROM TOolbox Pro but I don't see why that would have cwm files. I did have another clockworkmod (it gave a better Recovery menu so if anyone knows which it was I'd like to know :D) a while back but have reset/wiped prior to flashing JB.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Those blobs are your nandroid backup, if you delete them your backup will be gone.

"It's all in the game yo, all in the game..." - Omar Little
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
The blobs method is the newer way in which cwm makes the backups.. The backup folder contains the links to the actual files in the blobs folder.. So only the files which have changed between two backups are saved in the blobs folder.. It is the smarter and efficient way of backing up..

However if don't want this to happen.. You can change the backup type to tar from blob before making the backups.. If you are using touch recovery..

Cwm automatically frees up space or deletes the redundant/unnecessary files before every backup..

Moral of the story.. Don't touch the blobs..

You have been zooo==>ted
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Sankuverrymuchness... Didn't want to clean them before knowing and they have survived 3 different JB installs so figured I'd ask. :D

Touch Recovery - is that the one in ROM Manager? I located the download I had used before - it was RM and has the CWM Touch flash option so I figure it was that I used before.

Back on subject, now that I have changed by phone, I plan to do another Nandroid. From the replies, if I don't care to keep the old BU, I can remove these ones and run the nandroid BU and it will re-create the blobs with all my new system/apps/etc?

(I'm trying to keep the phone as clean as possible so I figure I might need to remove the old Nandroid files before making one that backs up my current setup?)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
You will find the touch recovery 6.0.1.2 in the original development section . You will have to flash the recovery via odin. Don't delete the blobs.. Just go boot into recovery and go to backup and restore.. From there delete the backup your want to remove.. Cwm will free up the unused space on next backup.. Or I believe the is also an option to free up space there..

But if you had made the earlier backup using non touch recovery 5.x..You will have to use this recovery to delete your backup.. As touch version will not see this backup..

Don't delete the backups manually.. Or if you want to really do it just delete the backup folder from clockworkmod/backup.. Don't ever touch the blobs..

You have been zooo==>ted
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Again, thanks Zoot... I did as you suggested and now the Blobs in the SDCard are gone and I have a fresh set over on the external card. I also made a zip of my system which I presume means I now have a ROM file that can be flashed at a later time to put things back to how they are now?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
yes you can flash that zip as any custom ROM..

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sheriffa:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pngface:
AT&T has been known to give out unlock codes for free, but can the same be expected of a Canadian carrier? Highly doubt it.. they will gouge you for $50 for something that probably costs them nothing
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zaghy2zy:
I don't think they give out unlock codes at all... I haven't heard anyone or read anything from ANY of the Canadian carriers doing that. I've always read AT&T doing it, if you ask politely.

It can be worth the try, it won't hurt to try. If they don't you can always pay for an unlock code... But always try the free route first.
