Hey all,

I switched from Iphone 4 to galaxy s 3 and love it. I want to know if there's a way to delete apps that came with the phone ( all the ATT apps)?

also I have the Samsung SGH-I747, what's the difference from the I9300? I see that everywhere when I google samsung galaxy S 3 4.1.1 update? will that work with my phone?

I tried to root my device but it was giving me errors so I unrooted.

I'll definitely try that again soon.

What are good sites for info and "hacks" for this awesome phone?!

Any good App recommendations?

So far I'm impressed with the phone and love it!!!

Nice move! To remove apps, root the phone and you'll have that power. BUT.... this is the Sprint SPH-L710 forum, not the AT&T. Do not flash anything from here, go to the AT&T thread and read up on what is working over there.

And to further answer your question no don't flash anything for the i9300 - that's the international version and doing so will brick your phone.

I switched my iPHONE 4 to the GS3 too!!!! :) Message me if you figured out to do anything u asked. I'm still trying to learn as well.

I love reading topics like this. Welcome to Android world. Where YOU own your phone! Good luck and remember.. READ! READ! READ!!! Its easy to brick your phone in the beggining. Even I did myself too.. twice! Poor Epic 4g lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rcook55:
I too made the switch a couple of months ago. I've since rooted and installed CM10 nightlies and I'm loving it! This phone is such a refreshing change from the iPhone and I'm learning something new all the time.

If I can give some advice. You have a lot more power over the S3 than you did with the iPhone, even with Jailbreaking. Because of this you can really screw the device up if you don't do something correctly, just be sure to read and read and keep reading. Ask questions and then when your sure, read a bit more then take the plunge. Once you get a grasp of things the mystery goes away and it's no big deal but until you've rooted and installed a recovery, then ROM'ed your phone it will seem crazy.

Enjoy it.

Welcome to the flash crazy work of Android :silly:

The i9300 is the international version, and the i747 is the AT&T version. You want to make sure you DO NOT cross flash anything from the i9300 onto the i747 and vise versa, you will brick, and brick badly.

For Rooting I wrote this up a while back and should be useful:

Recovery mode:

Hold down Volume Up, Home and then the Power button

Download Mode:

Hold down Volume Down, Home and then power until “Warning!!” message is displayed

Press Volume Up to continue.

Navigating Clockwork Mod Recovery:

Use the Volume Up and Down arrow keys to change the highlighted option and the home key to select an option. The Back soft key works, but will not be lit and will take you back one screen.

1.	Make sure all Samsung Drivers are installed.

2.	Copy CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip to your internal SD

3.	Reboot your phone into download mode

4.	Go into the folder you extracted Odin3 into and run Odin3 v3.04.exe

5.	Connect your phone to your computer via USB

6.	Click on PDA and in the Open window that pops up navigate to clockworkmod.tar

- Verify that ONLY Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked

7.	Click Start.

8.	Power off your device and boot into Recovery mode

-To boot into Recovery mode: Hold down Volume Up, Home and then the Power button until you are in Recovery (it should say CWM-based Recovery at the top of the screen)

9.	Install CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip

10.	Reboot

11.	Install BusyBox from Google Play Market, grant it SuperUser permissions and it'll walk through the rest.

12.	Update Binaries.

- Open the SuperUser app

- Get into settings (the wrench icon in the upper right of the screen)

- Select Su binary under the General section towards the bottom of the list

- Select Update

To remove the bloatware from AT&T, you will need to root, and there are 3 ways that I use to remove that stuff. 1 is to buy Titanium Backup, and "freeze" the apps you don't want to use. They are still installed, but are not visible.

2nd way is to use Titanium Backup, and Backup and/or uninstall the apps. The 3rd way is to get a root explorer application(there are a few good free ones) and go to system/apps, and manually delete them yourself. The easiest way would be to freeze them in TiBu, and the safest. If you mess something up, you can always go back and Un-freeze the app

This SHOULD get you going ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wolfrey:
Hey! Welcome to the wonderful world of android. You are in for a lot of treats as I'm sure you've seen already. To answer your question about removing the. "bloatware" as we call it, there is one other way other than rooting you can get it off your app drawer and make it easier to ignore. Find the app you want to get rid of. Then press and hold on it until the home screens come up. Drag the icon down to the "app info" icon and drop it there. This will load up the info screen. From here, select the "disable" button and it will be removed from your app drawer. This is an easier way than rooting and it won't void your warranty either! Hope that helps.

Also, check out the amazon app store. It is pretty awesome. Free app every day. You can also customise your phone using zedge.

NVM I figured it out
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] McConnellBrewing:
I made the same switch

I am going on about 2 weeks now with the GS3. It is a big learning curve so far. As the stock GS3 with touchwiz I am not a fan. I do not like what samsung did to android at all. In particular all of the motion stuff is really stupid and the samsung messaging app is just terrible. I also don't like their default keyboard.

However I rooted it and installed CM10 and I really like that. I am a little torn as I dont know if I should judge this phone based on how it is in stock mode or for everything I can do with it (rooting, roms, etc....). Coming from the iphone I do miss the stability and ease of use. But I do like the bigger screen the LTE and being able to customize more, like what apps open with what actions and what not. All of the sharing options are nice too.

I would say if I was stuck with touchwiz I would probably return the phone and go with another iphone, but being able to use CM10 makes all the difference. I like both OS's and think each has their positives and drawbacks.

I am not trying to start a flame war just giving my opinion after a couple weeks of making the switch.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kinghorsey:
That's the beauty of android...you don't have to stick with the manufacturers skin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] McConnellBrewing:
Agree, but I wish it wasn't required to enjoy the phone. sometimes you want something to just work. plus most of the ROM's have at least some issues that wouldnt be found in a release by a major company. Though touch wiz was just as buggy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] borillako:
I made the jump from iPhone less than a month ago and have already tried atleast 7 diffrent roms...

Stock rom worked just fine for me all the time and I do find the motions useful...just disable them if you dont like them... I think like you that both have their pros and cons...but im finding much more pros for the Android than iOS...

Maybe there was something wrong with your phone from the get go...just saying consider taking it back to the store for a new one...cause I never had any bugs in touchwiz when I was running the stock rom...

Not trying to be rude, just giving my opinion...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s0ulja:
I came from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy SII (I777) last year, and now I just got the S3. I understand where your coming from where you like the ease of use of iOS and the stability, but to be honest I wasn't having any trouble or stability issues on the either of my phones with the stock ROM on Touchwiz. With that being said I still flashed a lot of other ROMs because I love tinkering and trying new stuff, I decided to stick with AOKP which is a CM10 AOSP based ROM and I couldn't be happier. I do miss some of the neat features with touchwiz though, like Smartstay and Direct-call.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jan0s1k:
Hello guys,

I have a question about that PACman rom from this thread. Currently I have this ParanoidAndroid rom with modified FXP136 kernel. Have I to do a full wipe of my phone to install it? Teoretically this and that are same (4.1) version of rom and I don't really want to delete all apps configs, PA settings, etc.

Or if I have to, there is second question - how can I backup EVERYTHING (except rom of course, CWM backup is not what I want) - this include apps, application configs, wifi settings, last calls, sms (ok, this can be skipped, because I already knew and used SMS Backup And Restore or something like that), even icons, etc from Trebutchet?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Ouh, I would do a nandroid backup and after that:

1. Flash pacman without wiping data, flash the recommend kernel for pacman and see if it boots, if not restore your nandroid backup.

2. Back up your data/apps using titanium backup, maybe titanium could backup trebutchet with all data (+icons), but I'm not sure ;)

Sent from my SK17i running Jelly Bean via CM10
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] evilbarcode:
If you don't care about the apps that you have installed, and just want to save the PA config then you can use the backup part of paranoid preferences. Then when you install the PAC rom just restore with your PA settings.

Cheers,

Evil.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jan0s1k:
Thanks for your respond.

I wiped /cache partition and installed this PACman rom. It runs fine without wiping, just Paranoid settings was overwritten, but it's not big problem at all, whole settings of the phone stayed. Next day I'll write if I'll get any problem with this or not (I have to test everything).

By the way, can anyone tell me which apks or just applications are in this PACman rom by default? I want to check if there is everything what should be.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
Hi,

is it possible to unroot the phone and relock the bootloader using the phone only without a PC?

If I do a wipe data/factory reset from the recovery mode, do I unroot the phone?

And what about the bootloader lock?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
If yours on the stock ROM, a factory reset should unroot you.

As for the Boot loader, you need PC...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no and no

1) factory reset will not remove root as it is a system app and has a system binary to go with it. you need to remove it with a file manager that can mount /system as r/w.

2) there's a way to relock the bootloader by changing a file. this app does this for you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
correct me if I'm wrong...

I can unroot and relock the phone via device without PC...

I install the bootunlocker app, I lock the bootloader, than I start a file manager as root, I remove the app that root my phone "superuser",

reboot the phone, I have a locked unrooted phone.

Am I wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
that will work.

the no and no was to the person above me.

if you do the steps you just mentioned in that order, it will be a locked unrooted phone. however, if you modified any system files or installed busybox, you will not be stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Just to add, if you are running a custom ROM, you can use mobile Odin to flash stock, just remember to lock the bootloader before hand using the app mentioned above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
If he's on stock ROM, a factory reset will break root. If he's using a custom recovery, he's fine.

And from the looks of it, he's on the stock recovery.

Hi!

I lost my backup by messsing around with some files. Could somebody please upload his stock build.prop from the official DE region JB ROM?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One X] Kutusov:
Ok, might seem a strange question but I come from a Samsung Galaxy S and I'm still feeling the HTC very different...

So my situation is this... I'm at Portugal but I bought an HOX (international version) from a British friend locked to O2. I've network unlocked it (ebay code), unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. It still boots up with an O2 splash screen. I tried googling for the latest HTC stock Rom as that would be the way to go about with the Galaxy S but doesn't seem the way to go with the HTC.

That's a bit of the reason why I'm posting this because I'm not even sure what to ask exactly or google for. So here's my main questions/issues...

Am I right to assume that the stock rom on my phone is not an HTC stock rom (like the thing that would come with a sim free phone) but a O2 stock rom? And the reason I'm asking this is because there is a "news" tab on HTC UK, France, etc advertising an OTA update to Android 4.0.4, Software number: 2.17.401.2 on 8/10/2012 (I thought it was today but now I think it meant 10th of August as there are other threads about this dating from then).

So the version I have is Android 4.0.4. with Sense 4.1 but the software version seems older than what is announced on the HTC site: software number 2.17.206.2. Why is that? Because the rollout to my phone is made by O2 and not HTC?

If my assumptions are right, how do I go about flashing a stock HTC ROM because I won't be able to update OTA anymore? I'm assuming that since I'm not in range of the O2 network.

Sorry for the long post but like I said I don't even know how to formulate a short question and gad to give you the broader picture. Any help would be much appreciated!!
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
Yes, you still have a carrier branded ROM, unlocking the bootloader and rooting doesn’t change the it. You have to flash to change the ROM. Since you have already unlocked the bootloader, you might as well flash a custom ROM to get the most out of your phone.

Head over to dev section, there are many sense based custom ROMs like Revolution HD, maXimus, Viper X etc. The first two already have JB versions (based on a leaked HTC JB ROM). I use Viper X because it has lot of customization options, but they haven't released a JB version yet. Or you can go completely AOSP with Cyanogenmod.
[HTC One X] radeon962:
Viperx here as well and enjoying every minute of it. Almost too many possibilities if that's even possible. I
[HTC One X] Kutusov:
I'll have to take a look at the those custom ROMs, I know it's a bit silly owning a droid phone and being a bit afraid of that stuff but I never had a very good experience with those... always my fault though.

I do realize that a custom ROM is probably a must with this phone, as its been a beast tamed by a lot of software issues that brings it down.

Just a couple more questions... If I fail miserably installing a custom ROM and have to roll back, it will go back to the O2 ROM or is it possible to flash a sim free HTC one? (I already know half the answer but anyway...) Never mind... first pinned thread on the dev forum :rolleyes:

And because of such possibility, how does OTA updates work? I'm assuming the phone connects to some kind of HTC server that has the approved carrier update? Or is it done via the carrier, hence rendering my phone virtually impossible to update unless I go to the UK?

Thanks for the help so far guys!
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The phone connects to an HTC server using the Internet, not some magic GSM data transfer system, so it doesn't matter where you are in the world, provided you have Internet access from your phone.

Sounds like you have the latest version anyway (for now).

You can't install an official unbranded ROM, but since you're unlocked, you can go with a custom ROM. You can't get the official JB leak because your CID won't match.
[HTC One X] Kutusov:
Thanks Ben, I spent a great deal of time yesterday looking for your first answer. It's probably so evident I couldn't find it anywhere :o Again, it's my long years with the Samsung to be blamed... you updated it with the rubbish Samsung Kies (a serious PITA) or via Odin plus whatever ROM.

I've also learned a lot by going through the tutorials here, especially that we still don't have the S-off so that's why things aren't so simple yet.

I was considering the JB with Sense+ too but my CID is (I think) O2---1... so no, it won't work :crying: But Viper X looks good, especially because you can get it very close (or similar) to the stock look. Part of the reason I'm loving the HOX and not regretting getting the S3 is because how simple and clean it looks, without all the gimmicks and clever ways of doing this and that. It might not be so intuitive (at least I'm not used to it yet) but I've already realized it's a lot more to the point than the Samsung stuff.
[HTC One X] Kutusov:
Well, now running ViperX 2.7 and although I have most tweaks turned off, it's great to have back stuff like the percentage of battery, quick settings like internet network and sound profiles when long pressing the power button and quick settings for stuff like bluetooth on and off from the drop down bar.

Best thing is probably not being dependent any more of O2 updates but still having those with an OTA.

Couldn't still figure out how to make the drop down notification window solid and not transparent. You can tweak the notification bar transparency but not the window? (sorry, these things aren't probably called what I'm calling them but I think you know what I mean).

Thanks again for the help guys!

I'm pretty sure that the iPhone gpu and CPU are more powerful. Having more cores barely means anything because most smart phone task aren't multi threaded like computer tasks. With gaming unless you have a tegra 3 quad core there are sadly no games that take advantage of the quad core exynos 4412 or the s4 pro.

1. - You're getting scammed

2. - Seller has bad/not working codes and is unaware of this

Well at least you got your cash back. I think the best thing to do is to call your carrier and ask them to send you the code.
