[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iolaum:
Thanks a lot for your help!!

I will definitely check the stickies and backup what they say is needed.

Also regarding your other suggestions:

It's unfortunate that I won't get any more RAM-based performance with SWAP but since it's so I won't bother with it. I am afraid however I am too noob to try custom kernels. I ll definitely go with the "standard" ones included in CM snapshots for now and if I have problems with RAM I ll come back and ask.

Also regarding your suggestion for CM 12,1. I remember reading somewhere that Android 5._ requires 1,5gb of ram minimum to run smoothly. I checked on the developers forum and a recently updated thread titled:

[ROM] [5.1.1] [CyanogenMod] [GCC 4.9] [Excellent] [28/08/15] ArchiDroid V3.1.3

but I am not as certain about it as with options found in

/download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9300.

Also won't I need less tinkering to run my stuff on CM 11 since it has the minimum RAM requirements for that version of Android?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkened_Sky:
[MENTION=2495142]lolaum[/MENTION]

yes normally (in my opinion) zram is only needed for advanced multitasking purposes. on normal usages it is not that necessary (I know other users might think differently about that topic)

cm12.1 for i9300 is not officially supported by cyanogenmod, so most cm12.1 based rom for i9300 is based on JustArchi'S unofficial version.

and you are right many i9300 users have the opinion that cm11 is better for i9300. but everyone has his/her own opinion on that topic :D

these are only suggestions, it is best to try out for yourself what you like most and suits your phone. for me cm12.1 based roms work just fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iolaum:
Thank for the reply.

I read about EFS bud didn't find a good way to back it up before rooting and installing CM.

I downloaded the official stock ROM from Samsung. If something goes wrong won't I be able to just go back with it from ODIN?

Also, regarding ODIN, is v1.85 good enough for I9300 ? I read from a user it is, but want to double check.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkened_Sky:
yes you either need root or a custom recovery to back efs

yes you can go back to official ROM you have now by flashing official ROM through odin, but all your data on your phone will be wiped. also notice that if you corrupt your efs it is not so easy to simply get it back by reflashing stock rom. so make sure to have a backup with one of the tools mentioned in the stickies.

the last time I used odin with s3 I used 3.04 from here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/odin-s3-available-download-t1670973 but as far as I know many versions work.

small (slightly egoistic :p ) tip: if someone helped you, it is nice to hit the thanks button :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iolaum:
I m pretty sure I had hit Thanks the first time you replied!! :confused: :(

Custom recovery isn't something like rooting? [noob here] And in that case, shouldn't I just root with the mention I described above and back it up afterwards?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iolaum:
Also while reading threads from the links you gave me I came across this way to backup EFS without root:

Download ADB and open CMD type the following into the command window

cd <Path-to-ADB>

adb start-server

adb devices # To make sure the ADB can "see" your device

adb pull /efs %UserProfile%\.Android\Efs_Backup\Efs<Type a number or something>

# Backup is complete - You could zip the folder up or something...

adb kill-server

While searching for how to get ADB I found this thread titled:

[SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V9] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE [GSM]

that said some info regarding the matter but I wasn't confident in what I read to be sure about understanding enough to do it :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkened_Sky:
no with a custom recovery you can backup/restore your current rom (nandroid backup), backup your efs, flash new ROMs, kernels, mods...

so in fact you need one if you want to flash a new rom, rooting alone won't help.

I would really suggest you to read thoroughly the stickies in your case especially http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/howto-rooting-wiping-flashing-ultimate-t1911726

note that the stickies are a bit old, but the basics still count

edit: backup efs:

easiest way as you will need a custom recovery anyway: flash a custom recovery (twrp is highly suggested as it is still updated). go to the backup menu, select efs and backup... voila you have have an efs backup

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] moisha:
Not sure what exactly you are asking for, but if you'd like to use the extended ROM as additional storage, then the answer is yes. Many tools on this forum from different cooks have an option to unlock and mount the extended ROM, After that you'll be able to add/remove files there. Your device must be CID unlocked for that to work. Read the WIKI for more info.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tony.wheeler:
Take a look here for more advice and background on mounting and unlocking the Extended ROM with WM6. You can unlock the Extended ROM then copy out the files (if wanted) then delete then and use the extra space to install more programs without using the SD card.

Because note 4 also previously was not supported by VR unless certain firmware update released.

What can i do to enable device patch installation?

Thank you
[Zopo Speed 7 Plus] elperroderoke:
As you said, you can not install an OTA update if you have rooted the phone and/or you have made changes in system files, you need to restore the system (not a factory reset) to its original stated. You need stock recovery too.

You can use Flash Tool to flash the original ROM from Zopo, but be sure you uncheck the USERDATA mark if you don't want to loose your files/programs/configuration...... Once you have the original system back, you have to apply all the OTA's until you reach the last 20151016.

Once you are in the last version make sure to backup boot.img and system before you root the phone again, so next time you can only restore using that backup instead of flash the original Rom, so you only will need apply the last OTA.

If you want to use it, I made a bakcup from the last 20151016 system and boot using Flash Tool > Read Back optión, so if you flash this backup you will have your system updated directly.

https://mega.nz/#!xVpglLIL!uo6Bik6LO5aHiFuPxG5HH0fxGytXUhiPDuXofxDul2Q

Just unzip the files and use Flash Tool to flash the needed files (boot.img, system.img and trustzone.bin) using the scatter file included to make it less confusing. (Speed 7, not for Speed 7 Plus).
