I am waiting for a kitkat theme for cm10.2, maybe cm10.3(cm11) is soon..
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
It would be cm11, since it is a K at the beginning of kitkat which is the 11th letter of the alphabet.

Btw, what the one guy said about cm is complete bull****. All aosp roms are currently based on cm and they just add their crap to it. Even the omni rom is a fork of cm (at least the i9300 part). They have the same bugs. Also, ricardo is currently working on the exynos devices and I have to say that I have never seen so many pushes for those devices in such a short time. He is working on the camera, hwcomposer etc and made some progress already, He is awesome indeed. Also, you are complaining about bugs on nightlies lol. CM 10.1.3 stable should have never existed. They most likely just build it, because it was basically the end of development on 10.1
[Galaxy S III General] hwjrmrm:
I am care about when could be flash CM11...:p
[Galaxy S III General] tmantanner4:
We no longer have a device maintainer for our s3. Omnirom is our best bet.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Currently we have ricardo who is pretty good at low level development. Just follow bbqlog :P
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Im curious, everything that's been fixed so far like camera and graphics , can that be ported to cm11? I think it would be shame if Ricardo and others worked so hard and none of those fixes work on cm11
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
This will for sure also work on 4.4.
[Galaxy S III General] trashkutys:
This thread is about 4.3 discussion. Stop with the 4.4 off-topic. There's another thread created for 4.4 discussion
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
How do you know that , i mean ... we had CM10.1 and when CM10.2 hit it was basicly from 0 with all the graphic bugs and stuff..

Lets take CTR off animation for example, will that fix be in cm11 ?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
The graphical bugs were just because of a simple missing Debug. in a variable in build prop. That was nothing severe actually and for sure not from 0.

Also, the CRT off animation usually should work fine in cm11 if noone ****s something up again :P
[Galaxy S III General] UrbanDrawer:
Link? Otherwise this thread could just be renamed "General Android Discussion" or something...

[Galaxy S III General] DigitalMD:
In fact for 4.4 512mb is what Google says is sufficient. The not enough RAM story is just an excuse for the manufacturers to stop spending money to support old devices. 4.1 - 4.4 will run fine on devices with 512 or more RAM.

Also stop with the bloatware whining, that has nothing to do with anything either. Android (Linux) has a good memory manager and efficiently manages RAM so unless you are playing action games that hack in all RAM to support full motion, there's never an issue with RAM use. Apps just sitting there never used do not slow the system down. Android tries to keep RAM usage at about 80% regardless of what you do.

RAM usage is and has always been managed by the Linux kernel. Android is typically setup to keep RAM about 80% full at all times which is the best balance of space for active app plus background and recently used apps. So that won't change. The reason that people see a dramatic improvement when they load a new ROM is that they haven't yet loaded up all their 200 active widgets that they used to have on their home screens.
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
How dare you come into this thread with an informative, reasonable post! :laugh:

Seriously, there is entirely too much whining in this thread. Sometimes I wonder if half the posters aren't 14 (no disrespect to actual 14 year olds).
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
Are you so sure about 4.1-4.3 being fine for 512MB RAM? I have no comment about 4.4 because I have not tried it yet, but 4.1-4.3 runs terribly on my Galaxy s1 because apps are flushed out if memory and there simply isn't enough ram to cache other apps. I only have 15 apps and no widgets on my S1 to add to that. Do not speak nonsense when you have not actually tried experiencing the actual thing.

If android has a good multitasking and ram management mechanism, explain to me why my S3 can't even keep the browser open when I open my third app. I have nothing else to say if that is what you mean by good multitasking.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
lolwut? your S3 cant handle 3 apps and a browser?

you must have a chinese clone :D
[Galaxy S III General] smalldookie:
Android having a great RAM management is an old myth of linux fanboys. In fact it is terrible if you want to install many Apps on a low RAM device because of it's stupid caching mechanics. Keeping 80% in usage is a problem for 512mb or 1024mb RAM devices. By surfing with the browser, which can need more than 100mb sometimes, it will result in kicking out the prior used App out of RAM. That's not good for multitasking. Maybe it's okay for nexus users, who only need their phones to show off benchmark results or getting the fastet updates, but not for guys who really want to use their phones as a 'life companion' ;).

[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
Lolwut, you can deny this phenomenon as much you want.

Tapatalk got kicked out as my forth app. When I opened it again Facebook reloaded. Now I tried to go to the play store and no surprise it reloads (but luckily it reloaded my previous screen not from scratch.

Now I open Gmail and email, and Facebook reloads again. When I open Facebook, browser reloads again!

And this is coming from AOSP which is supposed to help multitasking , as well as legit GT-I9300 (with two stock batteries, one made in Japan assembled in China, one made in Korea assembled in Vietnam).

[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
OT: Hey shawty I remember you on the S3 forums here :) you got a one didn't you?

I'm looking forward to this 4.3 to see if Samsung finally sprinkles some pixie dust on this update and make the S3 multi-task better than the note 3. Maybe it isn't a lost cause supporting the s3 after all!
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Hey steel. Yeah I got a One :)
[Galaxy S III General] ArbiterGR:
Everyone knows that Touchwiz based roms have crappy LMK values and multitasking isn't their field of expertise. Try using an AOSP/AOKP based rom and see the difference. Despite their issues due to the lack of sources, they are blazing fast and multitasking simply works.

And if you still think that S3 isn't capable of performing well on newer versions of android, Just search for HTC HD2 (a 2009 phone) here on XDA, running 4.3. You'll be amazed :)
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Your post does not really make sense. Of course android will kick out other apps if your currently running app is using more ram than available. This is how it has to work and of course also works on other mobile OS. It would also happen on windows/linux if you decided to let 20 programs open, includiding video/photo rendering software, at the same time. You cannot magically enlarge your RAM.

Where else would you want to keep running apps? On the sdcard or internal memory which is way slower than ram?

[Galaxy S III General] Stilm:
My Galaxy S I900 on CM10.1 used to run just fine, I dunno how people say it doesn't but ok. As for I9300 which is what this forum is for, I for one hope Samsung keeps up their promises and updates us at least to 4.3. I know I could always use AOSP roms and trust me I like them better, I never use the things Samsung put on this phone however, I need the HDMI out which AOSP can't handle so I'm a bit stuck to touchwiz. Also, Nexus owners don't use it just to show off and benchmarks are stupid and useless, some people just like AOSP better and it just works how Google meant it to. I should know, I own a Nexus 7 (2013) :P

[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
As usual, that Instagram photo and tweet has been deleted... always teasing us :p but I saw it, it seemed to be S3
[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
Looks like Faryaab took down the recovery image and his tweet. Time to get it from cache? :D
[Galaxy S III General] malachow:
We'd be freakn grateful if you attempt to do it mate. :good:

Yep, definitely S3, I checked before it was deleted for the positioning of the camera and sensors and the overall roundness :D
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
From cache :D That HAS to be S3
[Galaxy S III General] malachow:
Great!

..but - where's the sign of 4.3? :D
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
well, it is a stock recovery, and following the storyline of Faryaab's tweets, I suppose it is the new recovery from the leak?

I don't know about the rest but I feel like somebody is playing with my mind... Faryaab, didn't you come to XDA to reopen the Leaked ROMs thread? XD
[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
No, but Faryaab did say that it was a new recovery in his tweet (since been removed). And he also said an hour before posting the tweet that he had leaked 4.3 for the Note II, and Galaxy S4. Which leaves the i9300 I presume.
[Galaxy S III General] bender_007:
:) ok, let's say it doesn't say anything.

But, one question. How well does it run ? :)

Yes s3 i9305 but not i9300 ...no 4.3 for international bcoz....not enough rambo
[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
That actually made me laugh ahaha. 1GB Ram is sufficient. And you think Samsung would leave out one of its most popular devices for a device that has sold a fraction of what the i9300 has sold. Even if the leak is i9305 I wouldn't really care because I believe it could be ported pretty easily.
[Galaxy S III General] .NetRolller 3D:
Nothing to do with RAM. I explained already, US got priority because they were still lacking Premium Suite.

Benchmark performance is improved on the graphics front.

Ice storm extreme went up to 2639 compared to cm 10.2 score of 2431 and 4.2.2 leak of 2496.

Still does not hold a candle to the quad S4's 10500 or quad note 3's 17500, but real life performance is on a similar level to the cm 10.2 and 4.2.2 leak. Dead trigger can manage a good 30fps+ on low settings, very little lag or stutter is observed. Id even argue that it is a better experience than the iPad 3 despite the smaller screen.

Oh sorry I meant dead trigger 2. By the way, I was on high settings not low (it defaulted on low but I forgot I switched it when I backed up the game). The game ran very well, usually about 40 fps but some frame drops close to 24 when you shoot people right in front of you (happens to any system really unless you run some 2015 nvidia graphics card)

This is the only thing i want fixed with 4.3. My SGS3 is pretty much perfect with 4.1.2 (for my use) except it's kinda annoying that it always takes 2-3secs to wake up the phone from sleep. If they don't change/fix that in the final version I don't see any reason to "upgrade" to 4.3... There aren't any new features that are really useful to me and I don't see the point of the new arrangement of the settings. Settings are fine the way they are now, at least for me.

Long story short, I'm looking for speed, performance and battery life improvements. But it seems atm that 4.3 is anything but that...
