Wow, I have no engineering degree, hell I never even had the opportunity to study after school due to financial reasons, yet here I am developing Desktop and Mobile software for a living. Does that mean that my products are sub-standard? Let's also take a look at [MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION], this guy has a day job, a family and yet he produces one of the most stable roms for the S3. He pushes the limits and have been responsible for quite a few of the fixes found on these forums, simply by being an active participant in his rom thread. Others have trawled through the threads and submitted bug reports, we have received fixes from developers (notably the camera, audio issues and after battery call drain fixes) due to these hobbyist developers. [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] has two seperate roms, a TouchWiz modified rom and an AOSP rom built from source. We have custom kernels for the device built by developers who don't get paid to develop the kernels by Google or the Linux Foundation.

Seeing less roms does not mean we are not getting bigger and better, notice how the guys team up and instead of producing different roms, they release a combined rom which encompasses fixes and ideas from these developers which is 99% better than the seperate roms. Go have a look at the kernels, you have different releases by different devs, yet in their credits they thank each other. Everyone working together for the common good and each release is better than the one before.

What you are highlighting in your very 1st paragraph is what xda was built on. A bunch of dudes messing with xda phones, no source, just the Windows Mobile rom dumps repackaging and improving on the original. I wasn't there right at the start, but back then it was much harder to produce a custom rom, but we all chipped in and gave it our best shot. There is nothing wrong with giving it a passionate try and contributing to the community, even if you are just bored and feel the rom you are currently missing only needs to have a coloured battery icon and release it to the public. Which was one of the 1st things being done to 4.4, changing the silly icon to something we all felt were better than the original.

Whether Kanger, Modder or Hardcore Developer, each has it's place here on xda and each contribution has added to changing the face of mobile computing. Many of the mainstream mobile features had a start here, due to either a modder or a developer, then adopted by the big guns like Google, Samsung and Microsoft. Koush himself is one of the most prominent examples of this, fiddling with Windows Mobile apps back in the day then bringing his own ideas into AOSP, pulling in the best of the best and building Cyanogen into what it is today. Just about every AOSP rom out there borrows from idea's which were introduced into Cyanogen Mod. Proof that a hobby can become something much more.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway

Yeah, but it is the same dialer in the core, the DPI is what really kills me, ugly as hell.
[Galaxy S III General] DaReDeViL:
Yes, we are bored. Yes, we can be called developers, kangers, bangers, ... or whatever you wish. But most of all we are bored of negative and passive people. At least, a (mistakenly called) developer dares to experiment new things and joyfully shares it with the community without expecting anything more than a thank !

A bon entendeur, salut ...

I'm waiting firmware. As soon as, Samsung need leak firmware :)
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
You integrated yourself in that group I was describing, not me. A kanger, cooker, banger or gangbanger is not going to revive the S3 and make it the most powerful phone out there. Heck, they can't even fix the problems that plague the S3 since the day it launched.

And, do I have to be "active" to give an opinion on something? No, I don't think so. Do you develop your kernels for active people only?

I was just merely stating that people expect miracles and want a fully performing AOSP rom or whatever, based on a few dudes that just compile the roms and do NOTHING else.

The S3 is, was and will be in a bad state and no one can turn that around, except Samsung by releasing the proper documentation and source code, which is NOT going to happen anytime soon, if ever.

Que tengas un buen dia, saludos.

Pessimits or realist? You can cook/kang/develop a thousand roms for the S3, AOSP it is still going to be crappy and won't give us official 4.4 either . Besides, quantity =/= quality.

You can dress a monkey in silk, but it's still a monkey.

And who says I'm not grateful? Jesus... you devs are touchy :D

I have a problem with my S3. I have the android 4.3 and sometimes when i put off the screen the cell phone dies... I click the buttons and the phone don't do anything and i have to put the battery off and put them back for turn on the phone ... Wich problem my phone have :(?

People always tell me that they are getting same battery life on AOSP as Stock, but I never believed them until today. First time ever I'm getting same battery life as stock 4.3 on an AOSP rom. I'm running Cm11 14/4 nightly with googy max 2 kernel. Its almost perfect and everything is working as it should. And first time since using android I'm not missing Stock. Thanks Devs for your hard work.

[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Actually, if you take a look at ArchiDroid 2.X, and especially this, then you can notice that even if we can't fix hardware-exynos-related stuff, we can still push Android itself to the limits. My ArchiDroid on S3 works much better than clean CyanogenMod on my friend's S4.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Next time when he do it again... Now it's good and fast. I think that the system gave error because GTA san andreas gave a error and was to heavy for the system o.O

[Galaxy S III General] alcitron:

Well if you return some pages in this discussion, you will see one guy that shared a link to a blog saying that our Galaxy SIII will receive the kitkat update in the final of this month or in the first weeks of May.
[Galaxy S III General] Curst:
A bloggers claim does not equal a confirmation from Samsung mate. I am sure Samsung would brag about a coming update for our phone if they had i planned, but since they don't...
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
So, they will let our phone stay in the bugged version of android 4.3?.
[Galaxy S III General] Curst:
The cynic in me says yes since there is no money in it for them to update our "old" device.

Are you joking? Samsung doesn't have money for update the Galaxy SIII? They DON'T WANT TO UPDATE. But hope that the blogger was right :)
[Galaxy S III General] Curst:
No no, i meant that Samsung gets no money from us if they update it. :silly:
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
LOL!!!!

Try to understand what he said. He meant that samsung would not make money updating old phones.

I also think that there will be no 4.4 for s3 otherwise there would have been a leak firmware by now.
[Galaxy S III General] Klejdi90:
Oh they have money but he was saying they will waste money building kitkat for s3. I hope it comes, though I agree its not a must for them. However they need to think carefully about what they do as it could affect their name.

[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Yes because i bought the SIII recently. I don't have money for buy a SV and i DON'T want to wast so much money in a phone. So i'm hoping that the kitkat it's coming officialy because i don't want to lose my warranty
[Galaxy S III General] fabricio1:
On the MIUI 4.2.2 with 20% of the screen around 3:20 but the camera and everyting else better than the 4.4 Kit Kat.MIUI has an application "Themes" using which you can adjust phone. Excellent application.

My last experience claiming my guarantee to samsung proofs samsung guaranty to be useless....

Nonetheless, you can unroot at any time if you really want to claim your guarantee.

Just root your phone :p

You wont regret it :D
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Guys,really. F*ck stock kitkat,root the phone and customize it to your liking. I agree with poster above,you won't regret it.

You can use custom ROMs or just root stock and install custom kernel to make your ROM smooth and install xposed for some modifications and etc.

Running custom kitkat here and enjoying it so far. Still gets boring now and I think I will change to stock soon with root and some modifications.
[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
Custom stock based on Kitkat is obviously better though.

Although I don't think we'll ever get it.
[Galaxy S III General] nosediger:
What ROM are you using currently? :)

I'm still stick with the stock NeatROM, Ext4 reason.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
I'm gonna wait to see if the phone gives me problems, because i saw news of Galaxy SIII giving problems :). I'm gonna wait around 6 months before i root my phone.
[Galaxy S III General] nosediger:
What kind of problem precisely?

My only problem was the micro USB port getting rusted. Samsung rejected my guarantee claim. .. and I ended up paying around USD100.

Well, the beauty of rooting is, a nandroid before doing anything to your system, keeps the hassle away
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Temasek CM11,googy max kernel,ext4 support.

Smooth,fast and greatest battery life,as seen on my previous posts.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Problems like motherboard burned, screen. I know that my warranty should fix it. And i have ensurance for accidents and steals
[Galaxy S III General] Havoc-X:
You heard that these problems were associated with rooting? If anything they probably associated with Samsung. Also don't be one those of morons that think they know what they doing and screw with voltages on your GPU / CPU etc. Basically, my point is. Rooting is good, unless you don't have a brain.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Yea i know it dude, but in the article that o read, the problem was from samsung and i have afraid that happens in my cell, so i'm waiting to see if this happen :)

How could they argue whether or not you root your phone if the motherboard burned, your phone stollen or you left your phone in a burning gas station :D

But, again that's your call :)

For me, I root my S3 the same day after I have it :p

Be sure to update your S3 to the latest update though, CMIIW, one major issue of S3 (which has been solved on today's ROM) is the sudden death syndrome.

Sry my bad.... I meant to say "Exfat support" on AOSP :D

But looking at your ROM is CM11, it does have exfat support, right...?
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Exfat support is kernel related. So yeah,I have it,as I'm using googy max kernel. =)

That "Low RAM" talk is Bs , so far every ported app from s5 takes like 60% less ram than apps from S3 firmwares, take launcher for example

S5 Port launcher takes 13-30 mb of ram while S3 Firmware launcher takes 60-90mb of ram. I also hear from those devs that are porting other apps that they take much less ram too.

So yes , 4.4 will take less ram and Samsung CAN make better apps that take less ram.
