Twrp was pulled from goo manager because of the 2 different versions - one for ics loader and one for jb loader. Since it may not be able to tell what boot loader you have twrp was pulled off.

You can go here. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/97 and there is a method to install twrp using terminal. Follow the directions in the link.

As I can remember Rom Manager shows you the wrong kernel, so you shouldn't use it - I can just recommend you Fastboot, it's how I did it and it's pretty easy (just watch the Vid in the Hydro Jb-Rom ;) )

well, yeah, that's what I feel like writing, because it's such a pointless question. you want to know what people use more? check number of pages of every rom thread and you'll know what most people are using. same with kernels. then read those threads, get the device, and enjoy flashing from day 1 you get the device, already knowing before hand what is it that you can expect (approximately, since, most of all, every device is different) from X release of X rom or kernel.

not to mention that must be there like lot's of threads on this theme, and that's it's a rather subjective/personal one.

Has your problem solved?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
So I recently rooted my SGS3 and I wanted to perform a nandroid back-up. I did, and the file is 5GB!!! WHAT THE HELL! On my old SGS2 back-ups were around 500MB each!

I don't want the nandroid backup to backup my external SD card as well, the back-ups will be way too large. How can I make it so it backs up everything excluding my external SD card?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Now all you need to do it post the necessary information. What recovery are you using? CWM? If CWM. What version? What ROMs are you backing up? ect...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Will port recovery in a while, performing a nandroid atm so I cannot check the version. CWM though.

Backing up AOKP JB (your ROM) with CM10 kernel.

I'm almost certain it is also backing up my external SD card. "Backing up data..." takes around 10 minutes, and it takes around 3-4 minutes to check md5 sum. I don't want my external SD backed up, will take way too much space.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
As far as I know. There isn't a recovery available that backs up external. "Backing up data..." is just the data for internal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
This is very strange then. I can't see why it would take up so much space. I tried it again just now to both int and ext sd and both were 4GB. Now I'll take out my ext sd and try again to rule anything out.

Also, recovery version is v5.5.0.4. Do you recommend I flash recovery via ROM manager and try again?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Never use ROM manager. This is probably why you're having the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I haven't used ROM manager. This recovery is from the "Root and install CWM without tripping flash counter" guide. I'm wondering if I install a new recovery via ROM manager if it could cure this issue. I just tried it without the SD card and I have exactly the same issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Looks like I fixed it. I flashed CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 and now the backups are only 20MB! That's tiny. Is it even possible to back up the ROM in only 20MB?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Do some research about cwm 6 and you will quickly discover why the backups are that small.

Hi, I know a lot of you hate on Instagram so please move on.

I was looking at my pictures and found that Instagram was destroying my pictures a little bit in excess of what I would normally find respectable for such a software.

So today I took a picture I shot with my 5DMKII (DSLR) and did the following...

I took my I9300, open instagram, applied no filter and this is what came out:

Then I used a iPod 4th gen I got today for cheap and did the SAME thing, this is what came out:

WTF is wrong with the Android app ? Is this a SGSIII issue or is everyone on Android affected. This is really horrible.

This is the same picture using Eyeem : http://www.eyeem.com/thumb/h/682/5555a77bfa5ad9e6b13e91398485d5b6b188f2b0-1347659393

[Android General] AndroidKills:
i see that the picture from the ipod comes out sharper, as you can see it looks less pixelated.

I've come across this at one point in my own head, like maybe its an android affected problem.
[Android General] Jcossack88:
I, too, have noticed this, and am starting to believe a conspiracy is growing. My pictures look incredible on my phone, then once I upload them to instagram....its pixelated. I have found that screenshots are even worse.

Maybe, its the type of image it gets saved as in the phones directory. Can anyone confirm this?
[Android General] ktrotter11:
I believe it's a compression issue
[Android General] CasseTrop:
Look at it on a computer. Full size. It's horrible the Instagram pictures have jagged edges all over the picture.
[Android General] polobunny:
Instagram app for android uploads a crappy downsized version of the modified original. What I do is go to the Instagram folder with my favorite gallery browser where you'll find the hi-res version and upload that one instead.

What's the point ?

Yeah it's a shame that no big blogs are speaking about this IMO. This is one major issue on a major app.

Still waiting for Instagrams answers.

[Android General] SC36DC:
I indeed have noticed the horrible image quality when uploading pics from my Galaxy Note, whether they are pics I've taken with my phone, or pics I made on my PC, quality is unacceptable!

Instagram, even if you have to charge $1 for a PRO version of your app, as long as the images weren't "destroyed" by compression, I'd gladly pay for it!
[Android General] CasseTrop:
This was actually fixed with version 3.2.0 released today.

This was process on Android with 3.2.0 on both my Prime and I9300 the output is the same :

I also just posted this image from my DSLR and it's perfect.

Yippppppiie!!
[Android General] khoikn:
Glad to see that Instagram for Android is getting some love from the developers!

The pictures look gorgeous!
[Android General] darkvash:
I'm posting in this thread because this is the first result on Google looking for "instagram android quality". Anyway, while the horror showed by OP is fixed, sharing photos with Instagram is still not as good as it is on iOs.

This is a test photo I did with my Galaxy Nexus and uploaded it to instagram:

instagram.com/p/S34ph9Q0Ky/ (sorry no link, can't post url yet)

The same exact photo sent to an iphone 4 and uploaded with the iOs app:

instagram.com/p/S34wVrnwr7/ (sorry no link, can't post url yet)

Android shot looks more blurred and overall less detailed, on sharper pics the result is even more noticeable. I'm not sure why this happens (different architecture? lazyness? bad coding?), nor if they can or have the intention to fix it, since I'm probably the only one who noticed :angel:

Anyway, the picture stored into android folder "instagram" that you can find in the gallery, is a really good quality pic and is completely fine.
[Android General] Jcossack88:
I think its because the file gets compressed or something...Idk I'm not an expert, but I thought I read that somewhere
[Android General] darkvash:
Thanks for your answer :D anyway, while I find perfectly fine compressing images (they probably have millions of photos uploaded every day) what is not fine to me is this difference, even if it's not as big as it used to be! è_é they are probably saving computing resources leaving the compression to the devices, but they are doing it in two different ways. Too bad.
[Android General] Jcossack88:
I agree..its frustrating, to say the least. I have found somewhat of a "fix" if you will.

Basically, go ahead and download an app called "pic frame" from the play store. (It should be a square with hot colors like pink, yellow, and blue on it). Now, I have a Samsung phone running JB so it has a pretty good photo editor.

I snap a picture, then open it in my photo editor and locate the "sharpen" feature. Once I apply sharpen, I then save the image. Then, I open up PicFrame, and select the 1X1 frame and reduce the borders to zero. I select my edited image from my gallery and share it to Instagram selecting High Quality.

This makes it much better. Your milage may vary, because obviously it will depend on your camera's quality. However, it is noticeably different.
[Android General] darkvash:
Thanks for the great tip, i'm giving it a try :D

Nexus 4

I've made another test. I took a picture using my Nexus 4, and have sent it to my wife's iphone 4S, and then uploaded to instagram from both devices.

From iPhone

From Nexus 4

distilleryimage10.s3.amazonaws.com/618f3574504011e2ad1922000a1cbd31_7.jpg

I like the Nexus 4 camera overall (even though iPhone's camera is noticeably better), but instagram degrades picture quality too much.
[Android General] Jcossack88:
Its still bad....especially screen shots. If I didn't have PicFrame I would be pissed
[Android General] cyclonmaster:
Noticed that too, what's the problem? Filter error?
[Android General] Jcossack88:
I think its the way the images are saved. Perhaps badness
[Android General] tojoj:
So, here´s an example that shows very strange behavior from the current Instagram Android app on my Galaxy Nexus:

I run two photos (different) through Instagram, one taken with my Nikon 1 and one taken with my Galaxy Nexus. I'll crop them at the maximum size possible.

Test 1: Nikon 1

Original size: 3872x2592, 5,2MB (10MP)

Instagram output: 1296x1296, 600kB (1,7MP)

Test 2: Galaxy Nexus

Original Size: 2592x1944, 1,9MB (5MP)

Instagram output: 1940x1940, 1,57MB (3,8MP)

The output quality of the photo taken with my Galaxy Nexus is more than twice the resolution of the one taken with my Nikon 1, even though the original quality is far superior on the Nikon 1 shot. This behavior is consistent.
[Android General] freakinbock:
What? Instagram makes 612x612 pictures, what do you mean by Instagram output?
[Android General] tojoj:
Nope. Instagram makes pictures of far better resolution, see the above examples in thread. It does not, however, save these larger images in the Instagram web service (online/app) where the resolution might be 612x612 (size shown in app). I'm talking about the resolution of the files that are output:ed in the /Instagram folder on my device.
[Android General] msk514:
imho, ig image quality is ass. ig uses a quick and dirty downscale of images. if you do use downscaling immediately upon opening an image to edit, at least use bilinear interpolation as a method of resampling. looks far more natural and isn't really heavy on modern devices. only problem is when resampling huge differences (tiny image to large image), it'll come out blurry, but why would you do that anyway?
[Android General] gollumXcore:
uhhh

So my photos look amazing until they're published on Instagram. Well I mean...maybe not amazing haha, but good quality at least. I take them with the camera app, then upload them into Instagram...they even look good in the preview window thing in Instagram...but as soon as I publish it, it's like the quality drops in half. I use a Galaxy S3...I notice other peoples pictures are sharp and look good...mine lose sharpness and the edges get fuzzy.

This is going to cause me to just stop using Instagram all together if it continues...anyone found a fix yet?
[Android General] msk514:
i notice quality dropping once it's in the editor (to add filters/contrast fix/etc). happens with 16.1mp images, 8mp images, or others from the interwebs. no love from instagram...

Instadroid

Yes i have noticed it too When i upload my pictures to instagram it looks terrible with my galaxy s3 so i am not the only one as an Android user

I think we android users should al complain to instagram about this Because my pictures look terrible if they wil not fix this app i am gonna be a instahater..... Instagram get your lazy ass of the couch and fix this problem.... Because i am instantly getting instane of this app it make's me look ugly... If the don't fix this problem soon i am gonna make a instadroid website and gonna create a instadroid app for Android and ios and gonna make the ios version uploads looking ugly too.....

I've been wondering this same thing, I'm glad I found this thread.

I've been trying to figure this out for a while now. I have also noticed that all of my pics looks good until uploaded to instagram. I have also noticed that when I'm connected to a wifi network, ALL pictures on instagram look better then on my mobile network (4g LTE). I'm not sure if it's just me (my network) or if anyone else has noticed this? I looked at my pictures on web.stagram and they all look decent.
[Android General] CasseTrop:
I'm the OP and this issue was fixed a while ago.

The app is on par with the iOS version which is all we can ask for.

If you don't like how it processes your images you might want to use snapseed or pixlr-express.

[Android General] vikash0513:
Just use squarelt or instasquare these are the best apps without cropping and resolution suffering:D...
[Android General] freakinbock:
Ok, I've solved the problem.

What Instagram for Android does incorrectly or does not at all is use the antialising when resizing photos. I downloaded the Resize Lite app from the Play Store. I've created a preset for Instagram (612x612, antialiasing normal) in that app and now use it before sending a pic to the Instagram.

No it's not. At least on my Nexus 4 and my Nexus 7 it is not. I've posted comparison pictures in this thread.

any news on this issue being fixed ?
[Android General] strikeIII:
I experienced the opposite issue where the latest IG update started to degrade my photos after it uploads and I realized that in Advanced options the option to use high quality was enabled. After I disabled this option the issue went away. As a matter of fact once you try to re enable it it gives you a warning that this option may not work on all devices and that if you experience issues to leave it off.

[Android General] eyi:
Unfortunately, turning off both advanced features only partially fixed the problem for me. My Galaxy S4 takes huge (4128px x 3096px) photos and saves them as PNG files. After turning off both features mentioned in this thread, some of my photos still come out still fuzzy/pixelated. But only on IG, they're fine in my local Instagram folder. I figured PNG was the problem, so I tried using Photoshop Express to re-save the image as JPG. The fuzziness went away, but the picture quality worsened noticeably. Anybody find a better solution for this yet? Thanks in advance!
[Android General] psibreaker:
I'm baffled as to why the Android version of Instagram applies such crappy compression to their images. I'm loving my crisp new HTC One, but even when I optimize my images through Photoshop and save full quality PNGs via Dropbox the compression still applies no matter the size or filter used. And believe me I tried a number of combinations.

However, I will try to disable the "Use High-Quality Image Processing" option and report back with my discoveries.
[Android General] R.Suave:
Turning off both advanced settings has increased my upload quality as well. This is very annoying though. Im really loving my S4 camera but uploads do no justice to the original. Hopefully a better fix will arise soon
