Using your build with the real dark slim gapps from links posted. It didn't look as if the gapps had a phone apk in them. What's the difference between yours and effsi's build? Was just ecstatic that you got slim on the epic. Thanks again!

Just what the point if QWERTY is made detachable... Then the mere existence of slide QWERTYs would be meaningless :( QWERTY makes sense to me because it's integrated and you don't have to carry anything extra.

Just sayin.

Re: [ROM][4.2.2] Slim Bean-Epic 4G [Build v2.1]

Wanna know what advantage this has over CM10.1, apart from being slim...

Not trying to be *****y, but I have 250MB data capacity today, wanna choose download between PACman 21 for both E4G and IncS and Slim for E4G... But I heard PACman for E4G will soon get v22, PACman IncS is suspectedly filled with bloat for v21, and I don't know whether Slim is good enough to convince me to replace CM10.1 with it :(

Guys just tell me how this fares head 2 head with CM10.1 in terms of cosmetic quality (glitch, Voodoo's existence, etc.) and overall smoothness, I don't care about Gapps, camera, cellular functions, etc. and care little about battery...

There are a bunch like Liquid, Carbon, PA all on 4.2.2. IS there any which has working BT (for phone and audio), no volume bugs, data/call/gps issues etc.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Stable is in the experience of each user. All are being used so must work to an extent.

Make a backup with CWM and flash away and decide if it is right for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergonomicz:
The long story short is that even though its been out on the International Galaxy S3 for over three months, they don't even have a roadmap for when it will be released in the US.

Once you decipher the PR-speak, it becomes pretty apparent that they don't have current plans to release the update in the US, and more than likely will never release it for our devices.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SeaFractor:
I would imagine that it's more that the US vendors, T-Mobile as one of them, want their own "goodies" installed on our devices. This impacts when and how long we have to expect an update for our product. It's this issue that inspired the "Google Nexus" style of products, an open standard Android with updates directly from Google.

You can expect frustration in awaiting updates when you compare to the "competitors" devices, even though they are the same physical device.

I'm frequently frustrated that I have 4.2.2 on my Nexus 7 tablet and 4.1.1 on my Galaxy S3. But not enough to have purchased a Nexus 4 instead.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Honestly, I think it has more to do with the hardware differences than the carriers in the case of the S3... Quite simply, the international S3 is much more capable than the US versions, end of story. Not only that but the Exynos uses completely different optimizations than Qualcomm chips do and not even the graphics chips between the two are comparable. It would take significant resources for Samsung that they could instead put into the Galaxy S IV basket.

Hopefully the S IV puts an end to the fragmentation that plagues the Galaxy series...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] weneorn:
I am sure that I will never buy a vendor`s device again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bikrame:
For sure I am not going to stay long in this device.

I didnt stay long to get ICS on my Galaxy s ; JB on Galaxy s 2; and for sure I dont hope to get and want to wait JB 4.2.2 on our s3.

March 14 is near and so htc one is on way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gypsy214:
Quick question. Now that tmobile brought their 1900 band and which bands for LTE they have. And now iPhones works with tmobile's 3G. Does buying an international S3 or any international phone will it have more than edge on tmobile network?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
If you live in an area with refarmed 1900 to support HSPA, you will get spotty at best HSPA coverage and EDGE the rest of the time. The I-9300 doesn't support AWS so you will have reduced coverage (AWS is both voice and data and some places T-Mobile has 1700 licenses but no 1900 licenses so you wouldn't have a signal at all).

I would just get an S IV. Chances are it will cost you the same as getting an internation S III anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergonomicz:
I believe its more about their unwillingness to expend the effort on development. Because of the difference in architecture between the US and International S3 something else other than the absolute minimum effort is required to port those features and properly support the device, so they're not going to do it.

A large number of people found 4.1.1 to be extremely buggy and poorly optimized, that doesn't exactly reflect well on them as far their effort spent supporting American customers either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Sounds a lot like what I said up above...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Probably not Gonna happen there's been reports where the international one would be getting a faster processor, samsung hasn't really discuss this even though they plan to launch phone next month.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
The Exynos Octa doesn't support AWS connectivity so expect a 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 Fusion Pro chip instead here in the US. Its no Exynos but its no slouch either. Battery life will probably suck though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Yeah that's what I thought, I don't think that battery voltage 2600 is high enough for the processor and everything else. With the s3 we were suppose to have the "weaker" chip yet when you compared it to the quad core the speed was almost identical. Except if you start doing test and all that which that doesn't matter a whole lot. It's all about how fast can I go from point a to point b and back to the beginning, so I imagine it might be about the same this time around. I won't be upgrading so I could care less lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
The Qualcomm chips scale well but the clock to performance ratio of Qualcomm to Samsung chips is skewed.

In any case, Qualcomm chips are hard to decipher because they don't even follow true ARM architecture whereas Samsung chips are full blown ARM designs. For example, the Exynos Octa is the first ARM big.little tech. While there are 8 cores, only 4 are used at once. 4 are ARMv7 cores for lightweight tasks to save battery and 4 are super powered ARMv15 cores. In that way, its not really a true 8 core chip. Also I'm not entirely sure if the cores can mix and match (ie, 2 v7 and 2 v15 cores) or if you are locked to one or the other.

The graphics beat the pants off of the Adreno 320, however, although its still a major upgrade from the Adreno 225 chip in the S3.

It really comes down to needs. I don't think Samsung made a smart move launching a slight hardware upgrade so close to the release of the S3 in the states and even more, the processor fragmentation is going to put yet more sales off. I am willing to bet a great many are going to save their pennies for the Note 3. Samsung will get those who haven't moved from the original Galaxy S and a number of S II users though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergonomicz:
The hardware fragmentation in the Galaxy S4 line means that the current disparity in features and support is more than likely going to be perpetuated with their newer models, its unfortunate.

I'm also not sure why its remotely necessary when every single version of the Galaxy Note II uses an Exynos chip.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
I like your thinking, you look you know about all these stuff. Always interested in processors and all this stuff willing to learn. I agree like I said earlier from any other phone than the s3 people would love the s4, but the fact that it looks exactly just like this one turns some s3 users down too. They are asking us to pay "Premium" again honestly very impatient move, don't know why they are rushing for a new release. It's about 8 or 9 months, the s3 fair pretty good against the s3 even though it was out months earlier than the iPhone 5. I think they could of release this phone in the summer closer to the iPhone 6 because now when the 6th comes out the s4 would be deemed "old" by a lot of people that want everything new.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

At the same time they probably wanted a few months by themselves with virtually no competition to get a lot of sales, I think you can't compare the s4 to the 5 it'd really unfair so right now the galaxy is the leader till the 6 can challenge it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lorddart:
I'm a little pissed were getting the weaker processor in the US. Especially in the terms of gpu disparity... Kinda weak Samsung did not impress me this time around if I can afford it I'll go international, otherwise there's a good chance I'm looking to the xperia z or HTC one. Screw HTC as far as development but despite Samsung usually being far better I'm not impressed with the new one. I like the idea of the front dual speakers on the HTC one. And build is pretty nice. Phone hardware is nice enough that it runs beautifully on touch wiz or HTC Sense and i can use whatever launcher avail so I'm not concerned about cm and such. And I love the screen on this but not comfortable using something larger than even the current note so I probably won't go that route. I guess we'll see.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nviz22:
I would care to challenge that. Yesterday, Samsung said the S3 will get some of the features on the S4 through software updates. Premium Suite will come to the S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
The international version will but we simply don't have the horsepower on the Snapdragon dual core to utilize those features. Remember that the S3 international uses a quad core Exynos chip, not a dual-core Snapdragon.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nviz22:
They will find a way to utilize it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
they can find a way to, but chances are, they won't. unfortunately for us...:(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nviz22:
Multiple tech sites say that Samsung will put those features into the S3 hardware willing. I don't buy that anything besides the camera features will not work on the S3. 1.5 GHz is still no slouch. Samsung even said it themselves. It comes down to the carriers if anything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saranhai:
they will for the international one i'm sure of that. however for us in the states...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lorddart:
No doubt our phone is capable of it but they could claim hardware limitations, the same way companies use it as an excuse not to update the android version. Yet they develop cm on the newest version for these phones clearly showing they're capable of running the newer android version.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah but you're talking about CM which is without the custom UIs that OEMs use so you can't compare the two directly.

As for the processor speed, clock speed means nothing. Real world has shown that the Exynos is faster than the Snapdragon on most things and its a hell of a lot faster on multi threaded applications - no doubt that Samsung will be using quad core optimized applications for a number of features in the software. I'm not holding my breath.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sangsoo Ha:
Although this question is quite controversial, I am sincerely curious about the performance of Ultimate Rom, since a lot of replies show that there are huge amount of users using Ultimate rom.:laugh:

In your opinion, what is the difference between the stock rom with eybee mods flashed, and Ultimate rom 5.2? Why do you prefer Ultimate Rom? For example, in terms of noticeable battery life, optimization, and the like.
