So i've never flashed AOSP on the SIII so far, and i was thinking of doing something interesting over the weekend. So far i've enjoyed the excellent functionality that Samsung based ROMs carry with them, but am just plain bored.. :p

Since you're a hardcore AOSP boy, and are probably running it on your s3, which one would you recommend, and why? Pros and cons... and any special instructions or warnings??
[Off-topic] :
Lolwut? Defo going to check that source code then hahah :p
[Off-topic] shrome99:
You've got to be kidding, no AOSP in about a year? Wow. I used CM nightlies for 2 days, pretty nice, but CM doesn't have much customization, so I got a bit bored :p. I switched to RootBox which is based on AOKP and has all the good stuff from CM and PA, and I'm quiet impressed, I would definitely recommend the latest RootBox nightly. The thing is that since I've just tried 2, I can't provide much information, Tectas can help you more :)

I tried PIE controls (in RootBox, from PA), and I was pleasantly surprised. I initially thought it was gimmicky, but it actually helps when you have small hands :p No need to stretch to the bottom of the device for buttons, just place PIE on the side.

Yeah, look at this - https://plus.google.com/115049428938715274412/posts/PLuwMFevypM

AW: [OFF-TOPIC + SANCTUARY] Desire S Users Hangout Lounge

Well, my personal favourites of aosp roms for the s3 are:

Rootbox (most features, still pretty fast, some glitches here and there every now and then, but in common pretty stable)

Helly_bean (cm based, some additional stuff, but not even close to Rootbox, fast, stable [except of the common aosp glitches])

Slimbean (fastest, but slowest update cycle, build from scratch from aosp, also some nice features, glitches are same as with Slimbean)

Those are my favourites, if you want something extrem close to stock cm, take temaseks builds, they are basically identical to cm nightlys, with some additional commits that haven't been approved at cm gerrit yet.

CM10.1 is pretty functional on S3, although for NFC there is some files that needs to be flashed, if you are coming for Samsung JB.

All basic stuff works...

AW: [OFF-TOPIC + SANCTUARY] Desire S Users Hangout Lounge

Basically the common stuff works, but nfc needs an additional fix to work (when coming from stock jb like suku already said) and bluetooth has some streaming problems every now and then, except of that only hdmi won't ever work and wifi direct also has some problems (every other wifi functionality works fine though).

Just bought one, and I'm very pleased. Take a look at reviews for the Synology DS212j, it does everything you want to. You have to buy the disks separately. My setup:

- sinology nas: 170€

- 2 WDCaviar Green 2Tb: 170€ for the pair

The disks were not a great choice, should have read reviews first. Basically, go for the WD Red line.

It's a bit more expensive than all in one solutions from other brands, but after using it, its worth every cent.

If you want to know more, let me know.

This app is pretty useful - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager You can use this as an alternative to 4EXT recovery control, it can do basic stuff like make a backup, Wipe Data and Flash a ROM. Of course, it isn't as extensive as the former, but I suppose we've already established that 4EXT is unparalleled :p It works with TWRP, and it should work with all CWM based recoveries. You can also download any ROMs for your device from goo.im (luckily, this seems to be the most popular site for AOSP ROMs) and it even supports OTA updates.

Loving it. First ROM I moved to and it has everything I want, first kernel too and can't complain. Both progress sensibly adding features and functionality, with Franco fine tuning with each iteration, extending battery life further and tuning performance so why look elsewhere....

Great combo! All good, all good.

Good to hear! I've been following the Franco kernel thread for quite some time and have noticed a lot of people complaining about data drop issues with specific versions on the kernel... Have u experienced issues similar to this with your setup?

there were some data issues reported on some of the 24,26,27 build versions but they affected all the kernels as the patches were applied across the board by most devs, they've been all but mostly been reverted, so no more issues although in all honesty this happened during the xmas holidays when i was at home, so mostly on wifi, so didn't really bother me much. The thermal issues don't really bother me either as I'm non gamer, so don't ever hot the wall - as such, although franco is now providing options, but were still in the early days and things are improving slowly daily....its wonderful to be back at the cutting edge once again. Although this week he is at CES so progress has been slower than last but enthusiasm and keeness is admirable!

OK here's the dilemma.

My dad has the Galaxy S3 and iPad 3, and he will be upgrading both to the next successor, (S4 and iPad 5) later on in a few months time.

He will hand down the devices. (I get old hand downs :()

I will have to choose between the S3 or the iPad... Which should I go for?

I'm unsure which to pick. I use my phone more than a tablet. (But probably because my current tablet is crap, may be different with the iPad.) But will the S3 be a huge upgrade from my phone? I have the same UI already on it, so not much will be new, right?

Whereas the iPad will be a huge upgrade compared to my Galaxy Tab in terms of hardware. However, what is holding me back from the iPad though is iOS. It will feel very restricted, and there aren't as many free apps compared to Android, and not much customization.

Any suggestions or opinions? Which should I go for?

Cheers.
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
I'd personally go for the S3. But then I'm still using my laptop, as even though the very pregnant wife loves the iPAD I'm yet to completely fall in love with it. Its great for internet browsing - but so is my N4 but I need a keyboard.

Having tried the S3 (well the i9305) I liked it, although I never tried the S2 to know how much of a step up......although I'm guessing a significant one!
[Off-topic] shrome99:
Make no mistake, the S3 is a HUGE update over the S2. The screen resolution makes a massive difference, use the S3 for a week, and you'll see. The iPad 3 seems amazing, especially with the retina display, and is definitely a bigger update than the phones, but as you said, iOS is pretty restrictive. It basically boils down to how much you use the devices and whether you'll be able to adjust to iOS or not. I stopped using my iPod after getting the S3, so I'm pure android now :p
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
I wasted time reading various reviews only to establish that you were speaking total sense, good choice and went with the RED disks ......you were right it ticks every box and has significnaty future proofed my setup!....have ordered the lot and its all on the way! :D
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
Thanks for the feedback so far, appreciated!

I don't really use a laptop for much anymore, apart from school work which requires word/PowerPoint, which is not very often these days. The iPad has a great web browsing experience, but I wonder how far it goes from there. With the restriction of many things, I wonder how much more I can do.

I use an S3 occasionally, and then when I switch back, I notice how pixelated my S2 is in comparison. I ran a few speed tests against my S2, both on Stock JB, and the difference is minimal, in common apps like settings, messaging etc.

However hardcore games, I'm sure the S3 carries a lot more horse power, and the larger screen is beneficial. However, on the other hand, I could enjoy these benefits on the iPad too, right? (However, it will mean I will have to purchase the apps again, to be able to run it on the iOS platform)

Yeah, I stopped using my iPod touch 2G when I got my Desire S. It was so slow, and stuck on iOS 4. I'm not too sure about the jail breaking scene. My iPod was jail broken which made it significantly slower, and shorter battery life.

The iPad is currently jail broken at the moment on iOS 5 (yes, its outdated), but when I get it, I intend to restock it on iOS 6. It occasionally seems a bit slow now and again, and I put that down to jailbreak, and some junk cydia apps installed.

Yeah I guess you're right. I just hope I can make the right decision...

That seems like a great idea IMO, the iPad will easily get enough, plus the N10 is considered the fastest current gen android device (even though it's dual core). Though iPad is considered better, you won't have to jump across ecosystems, and with DataSync or Carbon, you can sync data across your phone and tab. No need to repurchase apps either :)

This seems nice too, I'm loving the S3 and N7 combo :D I usually use the N7 at home so I have enough battery on my S3 when I need it outside, since barely lasts a day even with mild usage.

The device seems nice (direct shot at iPad mini :p) but the button layout is slightly weird and it looks like a giant phone. Even though suku has a point, and many people will buy and use it as their primary phone, it does look pretty ridiculous to see someone with a tab to their ear. I have seen a LOT of people using the Galaxy Tab 7 2 in the same manner, and it looks worse than those who click pictures with their iPads

[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
Thanks for the responses regarding the S3/iPad.

Not surprised to see most are pointing towards the S3, since we are all fandroids.

Thanks for the different suggestions, I have thought about them all. I won't be looking to sell either of the devices, so I won't consider that option. This is mainly due to the hassle and inconvenience for me. :)

Looking at it this way, if I get the S3, it will kind of make my S2 redundant, as it will replace all my functions for my daily phone. (S2 could be my backup like the DS is now, but its kinda pointless). Whereas if I get the iPad, I will still use my S2 as my main phone, and I will now have a much better tablet.

I'm quite sure the S3 will get KLP sometime down the line, but the S2 most likely will not. I can see the iPad getting future iOS support for at least 2 major updates. (However knwong Apple, they strip a lot if features out)

So enigmaamit and pughie, are you guys going to hang on to the S3, or upgrade to the S4?
[Off-topic] shrome99:
Well, the way I see it, the only major thing they can change in the S4 is the screen resolution (which they certainly will). A 5 inch screen seems possible, but not likely. As far as the processor is concerned, I don't think we need anything more than 4 cores, my phone already has more proccessing power than my PC :p So, the S4 shouldn't be as big an update as the S3 was, just like the One. Pughie already switched to the Nexus 4 though.
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
Ah oops, forgot he did!

Yeah, to be honest, I feel that 2013 flagship hardware doesn't seem that impressive, based on what we've seen from the Xperia Z and One. I used a Xperia Z yesterday, and to be honest, I cannot tell the difference in the PPI compared to say, a iPhone 5 or S3. Like Apple once said, the human eye cannot distinguish above 300PPI, so why are manufacturers increasing it more? Surely it makes minimal difference. And will result in more CPU power required and poorer battery life?

Also, I found the Xperia Z screen to look quite washed out, colours don't appear to stand out very well.

I don't know why this device got so much hype, I don't think its anything groundbreaking.

Oh, anyone seen the Google Glasses? Looks amazing in the demos, however I wonder how practical it will actually be in real life.
