Ever since my original galaxy s I've not really like the Samsung interface, it would be nice to get a version of kk that works well, but all the roms I've tried end up too laggy. I still use my s3 ahead of my experia z though as I never like the screen buttons

Do a full wipe including internal memory if moving from 4.3 to 4.4.2 for the best experience.

[Galaxy S III General] Meebsy:
Shame that they couldn't just release a version specifically for the S3 for the modding community so they can remove the bloat and excess crap. That at least wouldn't of impacted their S5 sales.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Hey guys, I've been using custom roms for more than a year. I used CyanogenMod, AOKP, OmniROM and Slimkat. But I really like TouchWiz and the Samsung Stock ROM (without bloat is better of course). So, I installed Imperium ROM in my device (KK 4.4.2). I get close for what I want, but the ROM is not smooth, inclusive when I am listening music. Everytime the music "pause" and 1 or 2 seconds after this pause, come back.

I have no hope on Samsung release new ROMs for i9300, then my question: what the most smooth ROM (stock based and KK) for i9300?

Thank you very much!

Yes it always come down to the User what he wants to install on his phone.

In the past I always use custom Roms too, but now I need the features of stock Roms such as Screen Mirroring, All Share, WiFi direct and Bluetooth.

wen we will have android L ?
[Galaxy S III General] supergrobi94:
If Android L and the sources will be released in November and CM Team starts the work on CM12, than possible ETA of first version could be Dec-Jan.

If Samsung really release an update in December, maybe first ports could arrive to the S3 in Jan.

To be honest, or either I didn't add the best ROM/Kernel or I prefer 4.3 instead of the 4.4's I've tried.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Right on spot mate. I also prefer v4.3 instead of all the 4.4's I've tried. Stock v4.3 is smooth,stable and bug free. Period. I've tried S5 Sensation v4.0-v7.0, Glamour S5, Blekota S5,Sammy Port N7100 to GT-I9300, back to n00t and still doesn't cut it. So I just went back to v4.3, Pure Samsung! :)

It's running fast and smooth same as official stock 4.3, the battery usage is also very good with all the stock features working such as bluetooth, wifi direct, all share, and screen mirroring.

But to say that it's better than official stock 4.3 is like saying that one Developer is better than Samsung Team. I cannot therefore say that it's better.

[Galaxy S III General] Septembrie:
Dude, cm11 is amazing, you cannot go wrong with it.

So, is better than 4.3 Sammy? Yes of course because of the fluidity and the memory management(witch to me is so much more important) .

I had really hard time using 4.3 because of the execrable memory management. Tw will always be so dam bad.

Doode, you will be so surprised how good cm11 is. Just don't give a crap about Sammy features.
[Galaxy S III General] GrippingSphere:
CM11 has good features such as better speed and lighter memory usage.

But stock Rom is more stable and less bugs if not bug-free.

And if a User needs Sammy features such as WiFi direct, All Share, bluetooth, and screen mirroring, then stock is a must.

The upcoming samsung phone Galaxy J1 has 512 mb ram and a dual core cpu yet it runs kitkat out of the box with touchwiz then why can't they make a similar one for our beloved s3.....

because Samsung developers are too lazy to bring KK to SGS3 or maybe they want to get rid of our beloved SGS3 and they want to sell their new phones to us lol
[Galaxy S III General] MeskyT:
To begin with, go to Battery in Settings and see which Apps use the battery most disregarding Screen, Voice, Android system files and other essential stuff. I advise to put screen brightness on Auto. Always make sure you close applications you don't want to run in the background as some are heavy on reaources (CPU, RAM) and so draining the juice. Try removing bloatware as some are terrible on battery. Then, go over tot the following steps.

First try wiping out cache partition by going to recovery mode, reboot your phone and then continuously (without interruption) charge it to 100% and see if there is improvement. If tbis doesn't help try the following.

Backup your data and do factory reset and continuously charge your phone to 100% and see the result.

Finally, if all the above don't help, it would mean you would beed to replace your battery. Look for the highest rated battery for your phone Amazon. I got a pair from there which work excellent to this day.

Let me know how it goes.

[Galaxy S III General] shivadow:
Custom roms are usually around 80-90% smaller than stock because they lack bloatware.

If your device doesn't natively support the version of Android it is not really the best idea to use said version. Porting uses custom code and custom kernels which are slowly being blacklisted by the major players in the app and game industry.

All those games that used to work but now dont.. Go back to a stock kernel and rom and they work again.

It's in there. Best interest they sell devices not softwate. If they keep updating older devices a lot of consumers would simply update and not buy a new device.
[Galaxy S III General] hinuk:
But unlike galaxy s2 gt-i9100 what was working fine on 4.1 so it didn't matter too much when Samsung stopped there.

But with galaxy s3's case it was left in 4.3 and at least touchwiz 4.3 (on s3) was more like RTM vista on p3 500mhz with 256-512mb experience rather than what it used to be in 4.1

One could thing that IF 4.4 ported from note 2 was much better experience than 4.3 ever could hope to be, then what official 4.4 could have been.

With that in mind the next time I'm buying a new phone for me or to gift I'll make sure it's not a samsung.

It's quite stupid to stop updating a device that you can go out to a local shop and still buy a new one.

The only upside is the development community
[Galaxy S III General] Tinderbox (UK):
The original Galaxy Tab S is being flashed with kitkat 4.4 and it only has 512mb and a single core CPU, so the S3 should run it.

[Galaxy S III General] Stfn990:
I would say anyone does that, not only samsung. And, as you mentioned, the good thing about Samsung is that there is a very big development community for S3. If you'd have a phone from a smaller producer, most probably you'll not have official updates oor unofficial ones.
[Galaxy S III General] shivadow:
Unofficial 4.4. It's cyanogenmod. If you run 4.4 on the s3 it bogs down after a few hours and runs like a bag of spanners.. I imagine it to be the same on any samsung with a gig or less of ram.

I personally only know of samsung updating devices with 1.5 gb or more ram or 1 gb on devices with newer processors but those are low end devices.

Another reason is samsung flagships must be made obsolete so that newer ones may be promoted with minimal internal competition.

Take ferrari for example. They have faster more powerful cars that are GT cars but yet they pile the advertising money into the track ready flagship supercars because that's where the real money comes from that keeps the brand competitive.

Plain and simple. It's business.

I wish I stole my HTC M9.
