How do you debloated it? I tried to delete flipboard but I still find it in the app drawer. Are there any other apps we can safely delete?

Yes I have to say this is one of the most stable roms that I have used.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
I used titanium backup. If you delete Flipboard with Titanium Backup, you will need to reboot the phone for it to dissappear from the app drawer

EDIT: As for your other question, I erased My Magazine, Flipboard, Xposed, and other app, I dont remember which though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aSpirit81:
note 3 white keyboard included ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tech_girl:
I removed it finally! Do you find it snappier with Xposed removed?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
Dont notice a difference, because Ive never used it with this rom haha.

Any News On Update???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sandeep5885:
Little queries

Dear all,

I have following queries so please answer them before i flash this rom:

1. I am on Neatrom v8.0 (KK 4.4.4). So do i need to do something before downgrading from kitkat to jellybean based rom? Do i need any bootloader? If yes, then please provide the link for the same?

2. How to install OTA update manually?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Occasus:
Hi dude,

download the ROM and copy it to your SD-card, boot to your custom recovery and perform these steps:

- Factory reset

- wipe cache

- wipe dalvik cache

- format system

- flash ROM

- reboot your phone

I've never faced problems with that method. I'm using PhilZ Touch recovery by the way (latest version). I don't understand what you mean with "manually" OTA update. This function is implemented in this ROM when I remember right. When your installation is complete, check it in your app drawer.

Cheers and happy flashing! :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sandeep5885:
Thanks for the work around mate.

All I am worried about is won't is cause any problem downgrading from kitkat to jellybean due to bootloader issue. I just don't want to brick my phone.

In one of the previous posts, a link to zip version of OTA is provided so I am willing to know how can i use that to update the ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Occasus:
There shouldn't be problems with the bootloader, at least I've never faced them. I've flashed a lot of ROMs, from JB to KK and back and it was never a problem. I can't tell you something about the manual OTA thing (now I understood), because I didn't test it. Try it and you will see. There are simply a few golden rules for us flashaholics:

- Use the search function

- read the install instructions and follow them

- keep your recovery up to date

- don't say just "thanks", press it! :laugh:

Camera Error

Guyz I made Clean install but I got this error :( :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sandeep5885:
Flashed the rom. But ram conaumption is always above 80%.

About that ota, I figure out that we just have to flash it via recovery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusuf_adsas:
Manual update meaning: Download update from the OTA app, but flash it manually via recovery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sandeep5885:
Thanks for briefing but I have already flashed the update.

Can I use the camera from this rom to other AOSP rom???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusuf_adsas:
Mission impossible since Samsung cameras only work in TW Roms
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Occasus:
[MENTION=5115014]Stevan Dj[/MENTION]

Hi,

when I remember right, this ROM comes with Boeffla kernel by default. Check the first post and download the stock kernel for this version [GN1] & flash it via recovery. Reboot your phone, open camera app and leave it, boot into recovery and flash custom kernel if wished. This should solve the problem.

Cheers!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] brucewein:
Hi guys,

I'm on MIUI based on 4.1.1 and it is terrible n speed terms.

I heard this ROM is really smooth and most of all stable.

If I just flash this ROM from recovery will it be OK to move from 4.1 to 4.3 ?

Last time i've heard my friend flashed 4.3.1 smasung leak over original 4.1.2 and his IMEI was gone ... he had to restore the MODEM to the old version or something like that and also heard about KNOX which can brick my phone after installing custom ROMs, is it true ?

PLEASE HELP ME
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusuf_adsas:
EFS partition has been changed circa 4.1.2 to 4.3 update period and thus your IMEI will be lost.

I recommend you to flash stock/official firmware for your OWN COUNTRY first (the latest JB4.3) and back up EFS and Modem/Baseband).. by doing this you'll also get newer bootloader as well which is often the cause for many errors when flashing newer ROMs.

No KNOX in i9300 International (no hardware for it)

Happy journey
[Galaxy S III Android Development] brucewein:
You mean download from SAMMOBILE and flash via ODIN ?

This will be safe ? NO IMEI lost ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusuf_adsas:
Yes and yes

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

IMEI preserved
[Galaxy S III Android Development] brucewein:
Well, just flashed I9300XXUGMK7 which is the latest stock for my country and after ODIN successfully completed the device rebooted, I had some android animation with progress bar and then another reboot.

Now it's been about 15 minutes but i still see the SAMSUNG logo glowing and the blue led going bright and dark but nothing comes up.

Should it take that long ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Occasus:
Hi dude,

I've encountered that problem too months ago and could solve it by taking out the battery, booting into recovery and performing factory reset. But plz don't nail me on that, maybe it doesn't work for you and sometimes firmwares taking that long on first boot. However, its worth a try.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusuf_adsas:
Worked out for you yet?

As Occasus said try turning it off by removing battery or long press on PowerButton+Vol Up+HomeButton until you see the boot splash and take you to stock recovery mode>> select wipe data/factory reset and restart.

Alternatively re-install the ROM.

Normally it only takes no more than 5 mins to finish booting.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] brucewein:
OK, did that and viola the phone is ALIVE and with imie and everything !

I've rooted it with CF-root and install K-Tool to backup EFS. Am I doing good ? will it backup my EFS corrrectly ?

What custom recovery is safe for me to install now ?

I've want to try out the new MIUI based on KITKAT 4.4.2 (i think). Should I be afraid again about my IMEI or now it's OK ?

If I will not like the kitkat MIUI could i just return to this version using NANDROID or 4.4 to 4.3 will not work ?

Thanks everone for the big HELP !!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusuf_adsas:
Good.

I dont know K-Tool coz I use SAManager for backing up EFS and Modem.

Yes you can revert to previous Rom with nandroid back up and ok from 4.4.2 to 4..3

I suggest latest TWRP recovery download from here

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/i9300/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-i9300.tar

Flash it via Odin
[Galaxy S III Android Development] brucewein:
SAManager ?

I can't seem to find on Google Play ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusuf_adsas:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582811

It's on version 2 credits to [MENTION=5064841]pyler[/MENTION]

Don't forget to put the back up in safe place like computer or ext sdcard in case you'll need to do a full wipe
[Galaxy S III Android Development] brucewein:
I have (hopefully) last question.

If I install 4.1.X now after I'm on 4.3 , will it damage the EFS ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yusuf_adsas:
New EFS BASEBANDS (the back up from 4.3) can read OLD EFS.

Old EFS BASEBANDS CANNOT read New EFS

So you will lose IMEI but if you flash the back up it is OK

If you are using SAManager, make sure you have the backed up file called SAManager in internal storage(~50MB)..and copy it to a safe place don't forget.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
Seems good ! How is the battery life ?

And hoe about ota updates.. Do they download and install it automaticly like on stock rom, or do we get a notification that there is an update and install vis recovery ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Occasus:
Hi dude,

I personally find it really difficult to answer questions about battery life, because it depends on how you use your phone and this differs from user to user. When you read the OP, you'll find informations about the OTA update.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Racinghart91:
Yeah thats true !

But its not like a big battery draining rom?

I think i am going to give it a shot :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] crfahecr:
Mine's working great. And no, you get a notification that there's an update and you install it via OTA app. Keep in mind that battery life will not work the same for everyone.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] efevelasquez:
Eventually it will be an update but there's no point on keep updating bases since none of them come with something "new".
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ClaudioIT:
You're right, the rom is already perfect... :D

I think you should update it with a nice clean app useless (no bloatware) so that it is even more fluid and with a reduced consumption of ram. Then you can update all apps with latest version and the ROM is perfectly stable and will not need to update. :highfive::good:

PS: You could also put the camera of Note 2, which has more features than S3

Okay i have to this!

"This is best S5 ROM which gives me best battery backup!"

I'm not going to point any dev's ROM in particular but i almost tried all s5 roms of 4.4.2 base no matter what kernel, tweaks or whatever they are selling i wasn't getting battery backup like i used to get on 4.3 Custom ROMS.

So finally i tried cm11 official ,, many AOSP rom and finally thought of giving EfeExtreme i shot and voila! i got s5 transformation with finally a good battery backup without loosing speed :D

Wow! It's a great rom!

Hi efevelasquez,

You have done a great ROM. I'm using it from 3 days and it's really stable! I think this is going to stay for long on my phone :) Thank you!

Few minor observations I did and taking care of these would make the ROM perfect, I guess:

1) Centre row in the keyboard "ASDFG..." is slightly moved towards left. Replacing the keyboard with white S5 keyboard would be really cool.

2) Battery consumption is slightly more.

3) English reboot menu would be good.

4) Page buddy feature of S3 doesn't work.

Once again thanks for the great rom, keep up the good work.

Regards,

jasonjdm

Hello again Velasquez

I finally succeeded flashing this ROM with the latest philztouch recovery.

I must say it is A WONDERFUL ROM.

I always preferred the 4.3 for my s3 as it is more stable than the ported 4.4.2 and there aren't many s5 based ROM running on JB4.3 so when I found another (your) s5 featured ROM, I was overwhelmed.

Yes, jasonjdm is right about 2nd top row of the keyboard being too the left.

I'd also like to report that it is FAST and only after heavy browsing RAM usage builds up and notice a bit laggy.

Any chance you can port the s5 power/ultra power saving mode? Or will it worsen the performance?

Again, magnifico.

This is a ROM for keeps :)

So... this is the only and ONE custom Sammy rom i have ever installed in my s3 so far ...

I never wanted to leave stock sammy rom because of the features and the great stabilty it provides

As soon as i saw your Rom thread in the development section i said "Man i gotta try this one no matter what!"

All i have to say is that im loving this rom and im not going to switch back to stock or flash another one

First of all im getting the best battery life i ever had

Secondly i love the s5 theme and all of its aspects

Thirdly there is no lag or weird ram behaviour or any kind of problem with this rom as other might have occured to others

And finally...I just cant resist to those amazing lockscreen effects and the fade out effect ! Just stunning ! this rom fullfills all of my needs

As a last note : PLEASE do not give up on this project!

keep up the good work and amaze us !

Thank you :)
