I followed your suggestion to using QS 4.4.2 and im happier than ever. No stability issues. So why downgrade to 4.3?

Can i ask what problems you faced that are fixed here?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MIKEMON:
I'm also back to 4.3 Neat

best rom stable and without problems

S Boeffla kernel is smooth and amazing
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
You have to remember that NeatRom is Stock i9300 Firmware, so it is specifically made by samsung for the S3 :)

One of the reasons 4.4.2 did not come out for S3 was Samsung's concern that the device did not have enough ram (1gb, vs Note2's 2gb ram). All 4.4.2 ports are Note2 roms that get stripped down and adapted for the S3, you end up needing a fair amount of zram to compensate for the lack of ram memory on the S3.

Anyway, I started finding that if I used memory intensive apps, the phone would become unstable and laggy and I would have to restart the phone more often than I like to. With proper S3 branded firmware that is not an issue.

As for what I lose for going back to 4.3, well the only thing I notice from my usage point of view is that music track data is not displayed on my car's stereo screen when streaming via bluetooth (hardly a deal breaker!) and the lockscreen audio panel is not quite as nice.

But in return I get a more stable experience without need to restart of play around with zram values trying to acheive the impossible.

For some people, they will get away with using the 4.4.2 ports just fine, because the apps and usage they use jsut happen to fit in well within its capabilities, for me though, unfortunately it does'nt and prior to these roms I was on 4.3 NeatRom for ages and always happy, I just fancied trying out all the other roms to ensure I was not missing out.

My verdict is 4.4.2 only offers very little incremental improvements at the expense of occasional issues.

My verdict for lollipop is if you want that get a new phone, which is why I keep hovering over the buy now button on Amazon at the LG G3, but I really don't want to spend the cash lol

If you are happy with QS still then great! It is great so long as you don't have any issues, which many won't :)

But if you fancy closest to perfection for the S3 Neatrom is just that, stock rom with all the right things added in :)

Hello MGH,

what do you think about the security issues (e. g. WebView components) on 4.3 and lower, that Google will not fix in the future. Do you care about this issues?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
I don't care, because all of the inbuilt browsers I have removed, I use Opera Mini and Firefox, both with use their own renderers :) Read the bottom section of this page:

http://www.zdnet.com/article/google-why-we-wont-patch-pre-kitkat-android-webview/

EDIT: The items to remove from your phone for safety on this rom are ~(I use rootappdelete from the playstore):

Internet (v4.3-I9300XXUGNJ2)

com.sec.android.app.sbrowsertry

Internet (v1.5)

Samsung SBrowser SyncAdapter (v1.2)

:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myshakugan:
Haha I was thinking of giving neatrom another go too when I saw your post. :) qs is mighty stable, but you still can't beat something that was specifically made for s3, but you sure can come to a close second. Both are excellent. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NexxP963:
I know the point with removing the stock browser and using alternatives like Dolphin, Chrome,... The problem for my point of view are the apps that use the old webkit / WebView.

That's the reason why I'm on CM11 at the moment. Maybe I'll return to stock 4.3 based rom, too.

So everybody has other preferences.

But MGH I have to thank you for your different Boeffla profiles ??.

I said I have been thinking about it and on the spur of the moment, I have ordered an LG G3, it arrives tomorrow!

I don't know if this device is currently selling ultra cheaply in your territories? But over in the UK it's price with 2 retailers has suddenly dropped from £468 to £289, so I decided just do it! I know I would like my Bluetooth audio information to come through on my car screen, I also get the choice of sticking with stock 4.4.2 firmware it ships or OTA update straight to Lollipop as LG were amazing with this phone and release LP in November last year!

It has been great fun playing with S3, it really has! And you guys and the others I have met on my journey have been a pleasure to chat too!

My wife is still keeping her S3 so I will be still looking after that so I will still be around on the forums, just I suppose I will be beavering away on the LG ones as well :)

http://www.ebuyer.com/645056-lg-g3-smartphone-metallic-black-lgd855-a6gbtn

Take care friends and believe me, NeatRom is the best rom for this device end of story :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myshakugan:
Lol that was fast. I just checked, it's around 640$ here. You got a pretty good offer mate. Have fun with your new gadget. ;)

Neatrom and boeffla, here I come.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
And this is what I reccomend for it:

1) NeatRom of course

2) Latest Boeffla and the final profile that I have created and attached to this post!

3) Full blacked out theme for entire system: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2558137

4) Camera gallery selector (let you use quickpic straight from camera app rather than default gallery only): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50652193&postcount=15015

5) Xposed mods to get the best out of it

6)freeze or delete stock internet browsers and replace with Chrome, Firefox or Opera Mini

7)Follow my optimisation guide for everything else: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/gene...amsung-rom-t2822121/post54276629#post54276629

Google Play Services Stopped Error

Hi,

anybody else getting "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped."? Usually when using Hangouts, but can also happen with Google Maps and similar apps. It started to happen 2 days ago.

Rom: NeatRom ExtraLite 8.2

Kernel: Boeffla 5.7

No Wanam Xposed

Already tried:

- Clear Cache and data in App manager

- uninstall/install Google Play Services

- uninstall and install previous version from http://www.apkmirror.com/

with no result.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andro42:
The problem is still there...... Do I really have to do full wipe because of this? Ehhhhh. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Maybe just install latest google play services apk.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andro42:
I did just that. Uninstalled the update through Application manager and then installed latest version of Google Play Services from Google Play.

I don't know how to troubleshoot that problem. Which App can I use to get System Error Messages?

I can confirm now it happens allmost only with Hangouts application.

So I did reinstall Hangouts (Clear Data), but it didn't help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
What is the version number of Gp services ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andro42:
Version: 6.7.76 (1745988-036)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/

Download 7.0.97. Don't wipe anything,just install this one.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andro42:
I installed version Google Play services 7.0.97 (1791429-036) because (" look at the last 3 numbers in the parentheses.")

Doesn't help, there is still the error.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
One more thing and i am runing out of ideas. Go into recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mloc33:
So is Boeffla the choice of kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andro42:
It did not resolve the problem. I guess I cannot avoid the wipe.

Thank you for your help.

Then I removed one gmail account and the error is gone!!!! Can't understand why but I can live with one account less. :good:

p.s. Was smart enough to make Nandroid backup before wiping, so I did restore and removed account to avoid setting all things up again. :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iefie:
What i know is that when you instal the rom that you must not set your google account. Skip that part en then go to playstore and then set your account. Now you have no google service error.

Slow mounting of external sd card after boot

Hi to all

I've finally got round to installing v8.2 (clean install, extra lite + a few apps) and have noticed that the external sd card (Samsung 64gb Class 10) is taking a very long time to mount and cannot be read until at least 5 mins have passed.

To be honest, it was never that quick to load in the past (have been using v7.9) but since the move to 8.2 it seems to have become much more pronounced.

Not sure it actually has anything to do with the ROM itself but would be grateful for some help/advice as to how I can speed up the mounting/reading of the external SD card after boot up.

Many thanks :)
