[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nutzzer:
All,

I'm currently a happy owner of the Galaxy Nexus. But being the tech whore that I am, I'm considering selling the Nexus and buying the Verizon SIII. A couple of questions before making the purchase....

1) I would like this to be a world phone ie able to put another countries SIM card and get data/voice. What about world roaming with the current Verizon SIM? If so, is it an easy process to make it a world phone?

2) Easy to unlock the bootloader?

3) Any good JellyBean ROMS? Not a fan of Touchwiz

4) How does the sound and camera compaired to the Nexus? Is it better? I really want to get rid of my Ipod Touch and use this as my primary mp3 player. The nexus sound is not up to par compared to Ipod Touch.

Thanks for your opinion and advice in advance!

This phone is simply amazing. You can unlock the bootloader with a simple app through play store after rooting. Music Player is good but I use DoubleTwist from the play store and it's great...got rid of my ipod.

Not positive on how to make it international but I am pretty sure it can be done...I'll wait for an expert to get here to confirm that.

Touchwiz is ugly but you can either use one of the many INCREDIBLE jelly bean roms or use Nova Launcher to make a jelly bean replica if you don't want to root.

I think it's a worthy upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus.

Good luck

Camera is also great with 8mp and great hd video recording.

Also viewing YouTube videos and other content is great on this massive (but comfortable) 4.8 inch Super AMOLED display.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nutzzer:
Thanks for the reply!

I tend to travel alot and not having a world phone sucks. I have to carry a blackberry from my job when I do travel. Would love to have one device for all my needs.

If anyone knows, is there an easy way to make the Verizon S3 a world phone?

Thanks again!

Hi,

I've found a Topic originally created by Kueber Here. He received his Google Nexus 7 with Android 4.1.1 JRO03S installed. So yeah, all I've done is to fix one missing file and created an installer for Recovery.

Features

Stock

Not customized

Not deodexed

Not modified

Aroma Installer : Let you chose to ROOT or not

Please don't forget to wipe all your data (Cache, userdata, ...) before installing

Download Here

Any notable differences in 3S?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Robin2:
I wonder.. is this newer than the JRO03R and does it include those new binary drivers?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] philippecr:
Mine comes with the JRO03S, thats one of the reason I can't use "backup/restore" in the N7 toolkits... :(

not sure wat is the difference.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
You can :p and by now you can come back to JRO03S using my flashable zip :D

The first difference I noticed is the setup :P

See :
[Nexus 7 Android Development] olivercervera:
Why you can't? I have JRO03S onboard and before to unlock and root the tablet I'd like to use backup feature in N7 Toolkit!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] z1gackly:
You would need to flash a custom recovery first such as clockworkmod, so it needs to be unlocked. The easiest way to do it for most people will be using this:

- root with SuperSU

Anyone have the time and interest? :)

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] z1gackly:
Been testing it for 24 hours with Clemsyn's battery saver kernel and a build.prop change to allow auto-rotation. It's extremely slick to use and you get great battery life. I also added the AOSP browser to the system/app folder and sideloaded flash and it works great. Definitely a keeper.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] philippecr:
I just bought mine. It's coming with JRO03S. :d
[Nexus 7 Android Development] capoooro:
Installed. Only wiped cache and dalvik. All OK here
[Nexus 7 Android Development] TeeJayEss:
Hmm, attempted to flash this via recovery, the installer started, but appeared to flash by way too quick, and now I can't get it to boot, or back into recovery - stuck at the Google logo...

EDIT: Learn something new everyday - you need a USB cable plugged in to get into recovery!? Anyway, tried the second time, and it seemed to work this time, thanks
[Nexus 7 Android Development] wultan:
Only if you do not have one of those apps to boot to recovery like ROM manager. Almost like a tethered jailbreak huh? :D
[Nexus 7 Android Development] vn00914361:
Just go to Android Development and Hacking sub to learn building your own ROM, bro. No one is receiving request to build you a ROM. Just use the android kitchen and build one for your own
[Nexus 7 Android Development] scandalousk:
So even though you built this yourself, if there would be an OTA update, would I still be able to install it over this rom? Or would I have to flash a factory image to my nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Unsure how the google updater works but i'm pretty sure it is fine since it is exactly the Google ROM coming with new device :)

I successfully Unlock and install the 3S ROM but can't open Amazon Kindle v3.6.0.87 (latest) as it seems to be broken for some reason. The program loads fine but when I start to open a book, it just shut down by itself. I am wondering if its the S3 ROM or the Unlock or other issues that is causing this problem...

I tried to Locked the ROM and even reset to default but the problem still persist.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] :
Am I wrong in thinking that if the ROM doesn't include a recovery, I can just flash it in my recovery and it won't overwrite the current one? :confused:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] capoooro:
I've flashed it in recovery without any change in my cwm

Well it doesn't overwritte thw current recovery already if it is what you meant :P

Can you compare the bootloader version of the new build with the older builds? I want to know if they have fixed the recovery issue requiring a USB connection to a computer to boot into any recovery (stock/custom) from the bootloader on a cold boot.

Works fine for me. I also deoxed it, edited the battery xml to allow for 1% increments, and installed my own battery images to keep it stock, I just hate not having a percentage, I have no idea why google doesn't make this an option.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] rootusr:
anyone that already install it knows how to find out this?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] keplenk:
I do not know how to compare bootloaders but I can give you some info that might help.

I have a C90 - which has JRO03S. I never had issues booting to recovery using the hardware buttons (while being disconnected to USB).

My mother in law has a C80. Out of the box, it can't boot to recovery. It has to be connected to USB in order to.

I rooted / installed CWM/TWRP on my C90 and it still works (can boot to recovery without usb connection).

The when I installed AOKP - my C90 does not go to recovery anymore (it has to be USB connected -in order to go there).

Now, if I try to flash to JRO03S (using this thread) which it did successfully. I can't still boot to recovery.

So to answer your question, after flashing JRO03S - nope - it did not fix it :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] capoooro:
Use ROM manager... and you'll boot to recovery... everywhere
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Then plug it :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] evonc:
Interesting. Well if you have a C90 that came with JRO03S from factory, you can check the bootloader version by booting into bootloader and one of the lines will say Bootloader Version. Currently I'm on 3.34 so if anyone can compare that number, that would be great.

The recovery issue is a bootloader issue so Rom Manager and other apps will allow you to boot into recovery, if you have a working system partition(working rom). If you soft brick/bootloop, you will need a usb connection in order to access recovery.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] exekias:
Any hope of getting you to upload this? sounds good?

Deodexed is faster than odexed right???
[Nexus 7 Android Development] jamesst20:
Wrong :P Odexed is faster then deodexed but it makes modding harder since apps/frameworks are splitted in 2 files ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] osuron07:
Exactly, but it's barely noticeable (if at all), and some believe zip aligning apks help restore the lost performance. I've honestly noticed no difference in performance.

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

You're better of deoxdexing yourself, it doesn't take long and you'll learn something :)

- Here are some good instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1600805

As far as editing the SystemUI to allow for 1% increments, it might be easier if I just upload my SystemUI.apk if you decide to deodex as that takes a bit more work, not hard (but I've done it before), just tedious. If you deodex just pm me and I'll put it in my dropbox. Depending on how busy I am the day you do it I might throw it in a recovery flashable zip.

Changing the icons is very easy, you can drop them in yourself, or use romtoolbox's (free version) feature for $1.50 that will do it for you. I paid for the feature already so I used that this time, and it works well.

I've by no mores a dev btw, I just know how to google and figure it as I go lol.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] clicmaster:
Thanks for the ROM. I did only wipe cache and dalvik cache.

I flashed this then reverted back to the step I had, kernel, etc.... Noticed I can't Bluetooth file transfer now. The app gives an error saying it doesn't have the right something something now. Never had the issue before. Can anyone else confirm?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] scarsofthumper:
I may have that same problem, only because whenever I try to beam a photo between my GNex and my N7 it'll say "Beam did not complete" but it was working before I upgraded.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gokart2:
I looked in the ROM and one of the Bluetooth files is missing a bunch of files that was in the JRO03D ROM. Might try fooling around a bit an see if transferring the files works, or keep digging.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gokart2:
I noticed like 4 files missing out of the system/ etc/Bluetooth file. Tried using the ones fro build -d without luck. It connects to my headphones, but says I'm missing a required FTP file to use BT file transfer between my phone and the n7. The phone actually give the error saying the n7 is incompatible because of the missing file. I believe it may be firmware related. But the lib files are different sized....so maybe something there.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] andrew2511:
Flash with this update.zip I made to restore the missing libs in system/etc/bluetooth. Transfers now working for me ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] gokart2:
Were these pulled from JRO03D, or the actual ones forgotten from "S"? Also, what app are you using out of curiosity?

Bluetooth to my headphones works, but for file transfer it gives and error.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] andrew2511:
Pulled from JRO0D but they are just .conf files, not libs :)

its sad this place has "developers" in the title

You know what, I have gone ahead and removed the guide. Not because of your (Radeon_X) input, but because the thread started with a discussion between the two of us that was unrelated to the topic

Not quite sure why you felt the need to react in a public forum like a teenager who discovered a keyboard for the first time. Regardless, it was pretty rude and a I really hope you dont respond in that fashion when discussing things in real life.

Anyway, I do believe you on the "thats what xda developers has come to" and I also believe you voicing your opinions as being the only factual process as one of the reasons this place is what it is. That being said, I am closing the door on what I once thought was a group of educated individuals, with reasonable intelligence, and a willingness to pass on knowledge and gain knowledge from others.

Hopefully those of you here that have knowledge and want a reasonable place to collaborate with others will piece together what I now know is wrong with this site and move on to build a forum of your own, where real DEVELOPERS can go, not just those who thrive on using what has already been developed.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radeon_x:
This "guide" is rediculous. If your goal is simply to flash CM10 and you don't care about tripping your flash counter you can start at the "flash clockwork" step 2. No need to flash stock rooted first.

On the other hand, if you don't want to trip your flash counter then you would have to install CWM recovery using the ADB method.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HAVOK83:
Interesting
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
As always, any input is greatly appreciated. With that said, thanks for providing input on the "guide" as you so kindly quoted it.

Please allow me a moment to provide you with the same generous input regarding your post. First off, the guide was made for those intelligent testers who have read as much material as possible on the subject/process prior to attempting it. In your case, I can see that this approach was not understood fully. So please allow me to provide you with some information regarding your flash counter tripping.

This method does in fact trip the flash counter from its default 0 to 1. A simple search would let you know of a tool called TriangleAway available for purchase in Google Play.

I understand some posts and articles warn you of the possibility that your device could be HARD BRICKED using this app, and that is a real possibility. In my personal experience however, the trip counter was reset to 0 by purchasing TriangleAway, allowing it to obtain root permissions and finally, by clicking the "Reset Trip Counter" option within the app. After a quick reboot once it had completed, it trip counter was back to 0 showing Official Binary.

Now for some additional advice to others who may use TriangleAway. If after you reset your trip counter, you are unable to connect to your mobile carrier. Power off the phone, wait 2 minutes, power it up, wait 2 minutes and then within settings select More... and from mobile networks choose Select Automatically.

I hope this is helpful to you or others who have a trip counter concern. Radeon_X, if you have more questions regarding my guide or elements of it, please PM me and I will be more than happy to help explain things a little better just for you.

For anyone looking to search within this form for radeon_x`s posts, remember to spell ridiculous as "rediculous".

I am new to the xda developers forum, but have been reading the posts for a few years. Please believe me when I tell you I have joined with a very stable foundation of knowledge in both web, and handheld development and marketing. I do wish to learn from you all and can only hope I can return the favor. I hope this post by radeon_x does not reflect the future of how my time here will be.

Moving on, I hope this guide is helpful and if not, please PM me and make me aware of how I might be able to improve it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radeon_x:
No. No one who has even read the most cursory information here would choose to do this. You randomly picked some things to do to your phone, that ultimately do end up with CM10 getting installed, but you've done a whole bunch of unnecessary stuff and tripped your flash counter in the process which is also completely unnecessary.

Your post pretty much sums up XDA nowadays though. Everyone's an expert even though they have no real concept of what's going on. It doesn't even sound like you yourself read the basic guides.

The more straightforward and safe way to install CM10 is to follow:

1) Follow steps 1, 2 and 3 from [HOWTO] [ROOT] No Tripping Flash Counter - [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers / Sasktel]

2) Download CM10 from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=d2att to your phone

3) Download gapps from http://goo.im/gapps to your phone

4) Boot into recovery (from power off: hold vol up + home + power until Samsung logo appears)

5) [optional but highly recommended] Do a backup in CWM so you can easily revert to stock if you want to

6) Choose "wipe data/factory reset"

7) Choose "advanced -> wipe dalvik cache"

8) Choose install zip and install the CM10 zip

9) Choose install zip and install the gapps zip

But hey people, feel free to follow this rediculous guide instead. Rediculous I say. Rediculous.

Brokenbinary,

I just want to let you know that not everyone on this forum is rude and on power trips. I thank you for your findings and taking the time to share them with the community. Some people just haven't realized that with rooting there are more than one way to get a desired result, granted certain steps CANNOT be skipped or missed. I have been reading posts for awhile and could not help but thank you for your time and apologize for the bad reaction you got on here. Anyone who feels like they have gotten rude comments on here I just want to let you know that the majority of us here at xda are not like this, it's just the select few that ruin the image. What can you do about it? That's the world we live in.

Have a great week everyone and happy findings!

For Step 5, instead of Clockworkmod recovery you can easily install TeamWin Recovery (which has a better touch UI) using GooManager on the store:
