[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T!T@N:
V5 Review

Hello community,

I have been an active member for some time now, but this is one of my first posts.

This is my review and the bugs I've found in this ROM.

First off, thanks [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] for this great ROM.

I am coming from NeatROM 4.1.2 XXEMG4 Android, with baseband version I9300XXEMG4 with Boeffla Kernel.

I have tried other various versions of Android and other ROMs (ArchiDroid etc), but so far 4.1.2 XXEMG4 had the best memory management and camera quality.

I did a clean install, and it went without any problem. (I was using PhilZ Touch 4.48 if that matters).

When I installed this ROM, I was stunned by it's performance. It has the best RAM management, even better than the XXEMG4.

And this is important for be, because I have > 70 apps that I actively use, and I like to multitask heavy. I was amazed because of the zero lag between app switching.

I have to point out that I am using Google Now Launcher as my only launcher, and I have deleted Touchwiz Home completely.

From my previous experience, Touchwiz Home (and Kies) are the sole reason for the memory hog.

On this ROM, when I click the built in Clear Memory in the recents panel, I get ~470 MB. When I am using the apps and they are in the recents panel, I've had max ~690 used out of 832 MB.

I have to point out that I have removed many apps with TitaniumBackup, including the weather daemon, printer related services, every samsung related app/service (samsung apps, samsung sync adapters, samsung account, music player etc).

I had no problems rooting, I am using SuperSU. I also have Busybox installed.

I had no problems whatsoever with the camera. My camera firmware is ZDFE02 and my Phone camera firmware is ZDFI02.

USSD codes are working perfectly, and I also had no problem whatsoever with my Bluetooth headset.

I am not using screen mirroring and Wi-Fi Direct, so I cannot comment on this.

One thing that I noticed is that the "Select Runtime" option is missing from developer options (for selecting ART). I am sure that this is not related to the ROM, but to Samsung, but I just wanted to point it out.

Now a little about the issues I've had so far:

- The dialer has the Korean characters (which doesn't even bug me, since it has the numbers as well)

- Camera Shutter Sound toggle is not working (which also doesn't bug me, since I use the Sound/Vibration toggle to control sound system-wide)

- I've had 1 total random reboot so far, after a call that I disconnected.

- The phone powers on when you try to charge it while powered off (which also doesn't matter to me)

All in all, this ROM has given me the best experience on my I9300 so far (including all the stock versions I've tried, CyanogenMod, OmniROM,. ArchiDroid, NeatROM, with Android versions 4.4.4, 4.3, 4.2.2, 4.1.2, 4.0.4, respectively).

And, I assure you that it isn't a placebo effect, I've tested a lot :)

Thanks again to the developer for this great ROM, and I hope that development will not stop.

I will surely donate as a token of appreciation.

Hope this review helps anyone still trying to decide whether to use this ROM, to make up their mind.

It is perfectly stable for a daily driver.
