Yea, HW specs are closer to i9005 and that would help if you want TW based KK rom.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Seriously, i want the update because it's official. O don't know what will happen to the phone if they update but if the gt-i9305 can, our can to. Only need optimisation... Maybe if samsung doesn't add anything, only visual and base things our phone can take it.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Let me say,GS3 is a killed phone.

That 4.3 update made the phone slow. Examples are laggy animations,laggy scrolling,transmisions,rotation lag and stutter,youtube lag.

The 4.3 is like **** when it comes to UI usage,but when it comes to games,camera and media,it's smooth and at least there you finally feel that you got pretty nice phone. But for me,UI usage matters first,thus I installed Temasek AOSP back again and I'm happy. It's fast and smooth,always.

TW ROMs,on other hand,stutter every 2 minutes while using,though now it's a little bit better with port,but still,that happens and will do,always.

So now,people got choice: use CM if you just use your phone for work,or sms and texting,media,or use 4.3 if you are a hardcore gamer or photographer.

My next phone will never be Samsung just because of touchwiz. Heck even S5 stutters from time to time. HTC or LG will do a better job. If I will ever get at least some of money,I will buy M7 by minimum. That thing rarely lags with stock UI,and dat new sense 6 will make it even better.

Also,you can start to hate me now,but I think iphone 5s is just an awesome thing to have,at least for me,as UI just NEVER lags,it's smooth as butter and no problems with gaming. It's a little expensive,though. But if I will have some money after some months,I think I will buy it.

That's my opinion.
[Galaxy S III General] daedric:
I've never used 4.1 (bought this one already knoxed) so i can't quote on the differences between 4.1.x and 4.3.x.

What i can, and will, is quote the differences between 4.3TW and 4.4AOSP. Most AOSP are CM based, at least on the kernel.

I have MAJOR battery drains on AOSP. I can install CM11 and the lattest Gapps, and the phone will be fine.

The moment i add my google account, things go crazy with wake locks and major battery drains.

I use my phone connected to some nokia bh503 all work day (8h +) and the battery is at about 30 ~ 40 % by the time i get home (very little screen on, one or two calls, a sms etc)

With CM11, i'll be lucky if i get through the morning.Awake both versions are similar, it's while deep-sleeping that things go south.

That and the pathethic camera software. The apps are retarded, from AOSP to CM to GoogleCamera. FFS, focus before every shot? really?

1 second to shoot? really? TW takes 5 shoots on the same time.

So, although i admit AOSP 4.4 is much more fluid and snappier, the cons simply kill it for me.

P.S. i9305

In i had almost the same capacity as stock. Maybe a little better. The stock can be better if you activate the energy economizator...
[Galaxy S III General] daedric:
I must be hitting a bug somewhere, between CM11 and my G account, that causes the wakelock, maybe it's G+

Anyhow, TW4.3 is working phine, and although i hate the interface, the stability, battery longivity, and camer performance are a must have.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Cm11 it's unstable.. It's nigthly, ofc that he won't be much better than a stable TW version

[Galaxy S III General] Kimins:
I dont care about camera, speed stability and batery is great for me on AOSP, better then tw 4.3. If samsung thinks to release 4.4 with same quality as 4.3 than they really dont have to.

[Galaxy S III General] Sensamic:
I've been over a week on an AOSP rom, and let me say that they aren't very stable.

Bugs like crashes and such make them unusable in the long term. So back to TW. I don't like it, but at least it's stable.
[Galaxy S III General] Kimins:
What crashes? Not a single FC in a month? Not a chance going back to TW.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
My stock rom sometimes have random reboots. I already changed my system but i instaled the stock again. And it's slowet but some things are better. But sometimes it's so slow that or have bugs and give me random reboots
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
I was running AOSP just fine for 5 months and never had any slowdowns,phone always flied.

Now I'm back again to AOSP,after some time with TW and that's something awesome. Took a breath after TW. That speeds,smoothness,media playback and everything. But,as I said,I don't care about the camera,though,so that's my opinion.

Those who are having random reboots and crashes (camera crashes,too) are using old/bad versions of ROM and old camera LIBS. Try new camera libs v5 mod for CM and you will like it. No crashes,smooth video recording and OnePlusOne camera app.

So? we want stock, not buggy AOSP

inb4 is not buggy

P.S.: I'm not saying temasek's rom is buggy, on the contrary, it's stable and performs great (it's what I use). I'm just saying that when you compare stock vs aosp, aosp will always lose.
[Galaxy S III General] mcgi5sr2:
Well,

I guess we disagree there, stock is full of all kinds of .apks and libraries that fill the phone up stuff I will never use. AOSP is cleaner, add to this that the AOSP roms we get are built for this phone, and any stock we get now will be built for another phone and adapted to ours, thus most of the optimisation will be lost.

Still I guess its a touchwiz thing.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Obviously it's a touchwizz thing... He's so heavy ;(. Why samsung doensn't make an google play version rom for our phone? That would be so good guys. My idea it's, asking to the users chose if he want to let the phone with touchwizz or want to install a google play version.

Enviado do meu GT-I9300 através de Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III General] Mushious:
If a GS3 can run 4.3 with touchwizz and be relatively smooth, I don't see why it couldn't run 4.4 with the same, given that 4.4 (for me at least) runs much faster.

The S4 on kitkat lags more than S3 on 4.3, it is choppy as hell, it has just ~200mb free ram and used system partition is 1.7gb, that's why samsung doesn't push the update, no room for crappy sammy bloatware.

[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Maybe they have to put one pure android with little ui changes and with all the features. And trying not to make a rom that doesn't waste all ram because they always make roms that ocupate all the ram and thats why the phone sometimes it's slower.

Root

If we talk about software in my opinion Samsung and linked by a market policy quite complex, but you can't give Samsung the wrong to cancel the warranty in case of tampering with the non-terminal is logical thinking that, you can say that it is our responsibility as the and always been change with the mod, ROMs and apps terminals.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

s.Sure that Samsung isn't doing a great figure towards its customers, according to me feels victim of the Terminal in Samsung's best-selling The S3, better put it aside and try to sell new projects.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Our phones are like computers. And like the computers, ofc you can change the system. If the pc it's broken and you send it to warranty with changed system they will not give you warranty? I like ubuntu, if i buy a pc with windows and i want to put ubuntu, and i do this change, but passed 2 months my pc has a problem and i send the pc to warranty. They will say that they won't repair my pc because j have ubuntu. This is logical? So i want to be the admin of my phone, i have a system based on linux but i can't do things because of non rooted phone, and i root my phone to have permissions. And my phone just broke because of nothing and i send to warranty. They say that because i rooted my phone and installed other system they will not give warranty, that is, by law, one thing that costumers have for their protection. So i bought a device, but the device isn't mine? Wich kind of world we live guys? We don't have one thing that it's in law because we rooted and chamged the system of our phone? This is ridiculous.
[Galaxy S III General] perseolorenzo:
Garanzia

Yes I agree with you but as I said before Samsung and victim of software that makes her slave market, look what they're doing in these end times update things that does not sell and what sells does not update and is sure one thing is less evil to our Terminal root that many applications that do not serve to nothing and now among other things if you want to remain under warranty you need to keep you can act only offHowever, the warranty and complex but if you buy a motor with transmissions and automolile a souped up you can't go to a dealer and say I melted the engine you can cambiarmelo under warranty, but that doesn't mean you're wrong.Samsung as other companies with fantastic developers but also takes inspiration from the private development would be wiser to cooperate by releasing more data, and would also gain you more but then and all the trade point.

Guys, whats the problem with Galaxy s3? Or 4.3 Jellybean? If Samsung will release 4.4.2 for our device, then it may be more slower than Jellybean bcoz of our RAM. In my opinion, the second update of 4.3 was fine. RAM usage is just ok. And we can play HD games, we can see HD videos, no lag, running smoother, etc.

And for the kitkat update, some sites saying "Samsung

might skip Android 4.4.2 for Android 4.4.3 on some

devices". Lets hope for our s3 in that group ;)

No. Even the fact that the screen from the article says that the AT&T variant is the SGH-I747 should be enough to tell you that its NOT an I9305. Hardware is completely different (Dual core Snapdragon as oppsed to the quad core Exynos in the I9300/I9305.)
