Wouldn't be great if we could dual boot..have a choice when the phone starts like in Windows to have both operating systems installed and pick tw or asop depending on your mood...lol I can dream though...and I know you'll say just nandriod back and forth...no that will kill your phone eventually and it takes too long....in the end I just want my phone to work like it's supposed too that's why I bought it....you know like video calling, Wi-Fi calling, hml and so on...

Evil1art updates his roms pretty regularly... and they are always stable so any new release is just to accommodate more features. With aosp roms... the updates are usually to fix issues... u dont have those issues on tw

Try out CSROM THA BMB it's awesome
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] spursrchamps2007:
I was going to start my own thread but this is close enough to what I wanted to ask about. I just got my s3 last week switching from Verizon to tmob. I have been rooting and roming since the g1, and have always gone aosp. Well I really want to stay tw because for the first time I don't hate the skin. The problem is I can't find a descent tmob tw rom, can someone point me into a couple of places

.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] falcons2:
Wicked or infamous would be my top choices for tw rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
Wicked is not only decent, it's exceptional.

Darthstalker and Xtremeperia are also solid choices. Just look at the features and see what sounds good to you.

There really are a handful of rock solid Touchwiz ROMs, so you really can't go wrong. But again, Wicked really is exceptionally fantastic.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Andrew421:
Those roms aren't truly stock tw though are they? The few times i've flashed anything other than stock with root i've had visual changes, even if they're slight on things like the toggles in the status bar and the fluidity of the app drawer.. I'm running the stock deoxidized version of 4.1.1 and i really want to go to 4.1.2. My girlfriend's galaxy express for ATT got the 4.1.2 update and i haven't seen that for our phones either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] spursrchamps2007:
Yeah I agree with this. Those Roms really aren't stock, they feature stock settings but are not the same. A stock rom really at its core is just debloated and deodexed with a custom kernel most likely. They also will tweak around with power usage and so forth, but stock is stock. I did find one stock rom I was looking at but he disabled bluetooth for some reason. I could copy the apk and flash it my self but if I'm going to flash a rom I shouldn't have to tweak it, so Ill still stay just stock rooted for now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
With Wicked and Xtremeperia, you can choose to flash an un-themed version, no visual changes. Looks just like stock with better battery life, smoother performance (if not equal), and some added useful features.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
Ive been using stock (rooted) since I got the phone last june. I like the holo style of aosp more. I know I can use launcher, but it's not real holo. just theme. The stock apps are still not holo looked. I haven't tried any aosp and Im about to flash Pacman rom :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kevingutt:
The only problem I have with stock is the fact that s beam doesn't work correctly, and I can't use all of the s3's built in features lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
Really? Stock is the only way I can get s beam to work correctly... or any beam (nfc, bt, android beam). And what built in features cant u use? Did u mean stock to be aosp? Because stock for the s3 is touchwiz :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AlbyTran:
i like the look of stock touchwiz and the features but i hate how all of the roms are so big and cluttered and most of them feel very slow
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
Have u tried wicked or darthstalker? Both are very very snappy...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Ryanmo5:
I run stock but I cant stand not being able to take pictures while I'm on the phone, very annoying! Is there an alternative option out there that's not all bloated and themed and will allow me to do so?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
Darthstalker X2 has this feature. There is nothing bloated about it (very slick rom), and I believe you can choose an un-themed option from the Aroma installer. Give it a try. It's one of the most loved TW ROMs for this phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
I dont get it, what do you mean you cant take pictures on your phone while using. Is it possible to take pictures on this phone while doing something else at the same time because this would be a total surprise to me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rawdaddymagraden:
He means the ability to take a picture say while you have someone on speaker phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
YeAh tried it a couple times when I needed to send my wife something and it gave me that print about not being able to take pictures during a call
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Oh ok, I misunderstood. But yeah that does seem to get annoying not being able to do, seems simple enough. I dont usually have the need to take a picture in the middle of a call but can see a situation like this coming up and it would be inconvenient, hope a fix/alternative is found. Especially since I've been running touchwiz a lot lately.

I've used both tw and aosp roms, and I have to say, I like TW the best.

They seem to be more stable than AOSP, and also I'm not a big fan of how AOSP roms usually look...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] luc.highwalker:
That's why you can change how it looks :) and stability really depends on the rom. Some are even faster smoother and more stable than tw roms

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CaptMorgan75:
I definitely like the complete control and customization of an aosp rom. I'm currently using the cm 10.1 4.2.2 nightlies and it's been running smooth!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Well since the galaxy s4 is released, Samsung's 4.2 update will be coming the s3 and note 2. The internationals though. But for the devs who do have it will probably use to help make a 4.2 touchwiz roms to bring to our t999s, bringing the customization features of 4.2 and more. Then we should get the official updates from tmobile maybe July or August.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Rumour has it that 4.2.2 is choppy on TW due to all the "features" Samsung has implemented.

What a waste of processing power, clogging it up with friggin floating windows and air gestures.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
I hope not, that would really suck. If true samsung probably wouldn't even want to release it. Then that could even put the 5.0 update in the question for us. I'd be kinda mad if our last official version were left with is 4.1.1.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggydrums:
I seriously doubt it. The S2 has been updated for two more versions then what it originally shipped with, Samsung won't do that to us. And BTW, chances are we'll see 4.3 not 5.0
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Yeah i guess. But I think we will see 5.0, the s3 outs on the list of the phones that will receive it. Also many believe 4.2 will be the last version before 5.0 Key lime pie, which many believe will be released this month.

Sent from a galaxy far away using xda premium
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggydrums:
Yeah of course, but I said it about it being 4.3 and not 5.0 because there is proof it might not be 5.0, I think it will be released later this year, perhaps on a new nexus like last year, were we got the nexus 7 with JB, then later the nexus 4

I love touch wiz! I'm using the wicked ROM! I would go to 4.2.2 but I don't like the camera! I think the camera sucks on 4.2.2 I always end up going back to wicked rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Same here. I do enjoy the pure latest android 4.2 experience but samsung features are too tempting espcially the camera, so much better than 4.2 cam. I've actually been running strictly tw roms lately...currently on synergy and everythings working great, not even thinking of going back the 4.2..at least not now. I am using apex launcher or tw launcher though.

Wicked ROM is my daily driver. Currently trying out liquidsmooth. pretty refreshing to experience 4.2 ui. Only thing that's making me want to go back to touchwiz is the camera. 4.2 camera blows..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
If I could get a TW ROM with the stability and speed of an AOSP ROM, I would go with TW and just replace the UI with Nova... But I've yet to see a stable 4.1.2 port - the Verizon based ones make me lose my 4G... I tried the Sprint one but its slow. I'm going to give MOAR a shot tonight but I don't have my hopes up too high.

Get Camera Zoom fx, it blows stock out of the water, let alone AOSP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
Stability of an aosp rom? It's tw that is more stable. Both roms are fast. What makes people choose aosp is its customization.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: roms

Camera Zoom FX is excellent if you only want to snap photos or don't mind changing

to another camera app when you want to capture video. It has no video capture in it at all.

The best camera video recorder combo is found in the Touchwiz Jellybean based roms.

As far as all the ported roms and all the CM10/AOSP/AOKP roms go they might be a

bit faster than Touchwiz based roms but as far as stability they don't even come close.

Also none of those other roms have built-in or any other functional Wifi calling which

uses your regular cell number to make and receive calls.

(I tried em all)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
I

What you mean camera Zoom fx doesn't have video capture. Just checked and it does have it

Oh just checked again. Indeed it doesn't. It just switched to the stock video one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: video capture

Right, that's what I meant. It also means that if you don't have the stock touchwiz camera

installed Camera Zoom FX will not have any video recording capability at all.

I prefer the features of touchwiz roms over aosp.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] frazbox:
I wish aosp had these features

1. the screen goes to max brightness when using the camera

2. the ability to control the vibration
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rsilv377:
Yeah I had some issues with my GPS not working. Even switch back to stock but still no GPS icon.. I even talked to tech support and they said it was hardware thing and sent me a replacement. When I was waiting for the replacement the GPS started to work again! Wasn't sure what that was all about?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
There's a thread somewhere around here that exactly for getting gps back. It's common to lose gps when you keep switching from touchwiz to aosp roms. Some roms even come with an app for a quick gps fix.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tthaz777:
TouchWiz Camera comes with HDR and low light features so you can have high quality pictures, whereas AOSP camera captures dark and blurred images with HDR and in low light condition.

TouchWiz music player has "sound alive" that gives you some features such as 3D sound, clarity, bass improvement, etc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] king3opobn:
I love custom roms, but since only TMobile stock based roms are the only ones that support wifi calling, it is what i have been using since i switched from p999 to the t999. The place i live is in a TMobile "deadspot", I keeping going into roaming. That would be the only reason I am using TW roms. So as long as I NEVER have to go to iOS, it is alright!

Since HTC named their phone the one like the geniuses they are it's hard to get details on if it's the same light from one X, green and amber.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokken:
I've read it's not multicolor like Samsung phones, apparently it's just like 3 colors... amber, green and yellow? I'm not sure. But it's not multicolor like you're thinking.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basil3:
Yeah, shame it's not multi colour. With Samsung you can't customise the colours by default anyway, and the apps you can use to modify the notifications are buggy at best.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil750123:
there is a file somewhere which you just have to push different numbers to using the echo command.

I've only seen the light as amber for charging and green for fully charged.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salada2k:
The RGB notification LED of say the Galaxy S3 was good, what always bugged me was the lack of native support by Android. Apps that allowed you to customise them always caused excessive wakelocks and I never liked their subsequent effect on battery life. I'll care about LED's if Android can support them natively (hoping that would have a little to no effect on battery life) otherwise they add little value in my eyes. :shrug:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Because benchmarks are meaningless.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecuba16:
This is because nexus is old Snapdragon S1, less cache, less bus speed, not ddr2 ram...

Mi xperia neo with same cpu frecuency and ram, gets over 200 points only in cpu, +150 in ram and +1500 in GPU!!!.

The difference is that xperia neo has Snapdragon S2 with ddr2, and adreno 205.

Hello Everyone,

I dropped my White SPH-L710 yesterday which I was using on page plus. It has no scratches, cracks or dents on the glass, however, there is no display and no touch functionality.

When I receive the call, I can hear it ring and everything but cannot answer because the touch isn't working. The screen is dark so there is no display either. Physically it looks fine but I suspect the LCD is a goner. Any help on what I can do to fix this thing. No insurance or warranty here. I'd rather not spend a lot of money on this.

Thanks in advance for the inputs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RealTic:
I believe this happened to me one time when I had my epic. I freaked for an hour... Then decided to try and Odin a stock tar... Fixed it. If your phone is ringing and working it means your display is jacked. I'm sure there is little you can do. Hopefully you have insurance.

Try to Odin... But attempt to get your phone into download mode using your memory. Volume down + home button + power button.... Wait 5 seconds, press volume up. You should then be good to go. Only advice I have.
