In that case, familiar yourself first with the phone and basic knowledge of root, cwm and flashing. Read page 1 of this thread to know more about such stuffs
Tinkering this stuff of moving to ext sdcard is tricky and DO NOT jump into it without any basic understanding
*
Or better,just learn how the OS works by simply using is regularly the way it is.
Thinkering with phone can wait.

After getting to know the OS better you can start butchering it.

in fact, you dont even need to modify anything. the phone works fine out of the box unless you wish to root it for other purpose such as titanium backup and etc.

But I can understand if some people want to get rid all trace of touchwiz....

The BLG1 one works with BLG8. But you gotta mod the zip because phone and contacts will FC otherwise.

Easy way: Open up the zip, go to vrtheme -> system -> app and DELETE the secphone.apk and seccontacts.apk folders. Then flash. Should work fine.

A bit more work will make phone and contacts work fine though... brows.gif

Just rename them and it should work.The dialer & contact apk usually same for all the samsung roms except Samsung name them according to the rom name.

@Eiraku
You have any recommended E-Mail app?I use Yahoo & GMail with my phone & want integrate both in same app.Most decent email I used to far is the Samsung email app but it's giving me headache lately.

KaitenMail is good. Very good. Thing is, I don't use anything else but Gmail these days so I fail to see the need to run anything else but an inverted gmail app (black is good). If I ever use any other email again I'd prolly run back to Kaiten.

Blame my 15 years old self.My Yahoo email is tied to bunch of important things.Cannot just simply leave it.

You can still laugh while telling others that you got robbed?
If it's me I'll probably be out there trying to serve vigilante justice.

Sad rite? Only SP I KNOW can stand my brand of roughness is the Estoc - which is STILL not out yet for the S3.

I'm thinking of buying an iPad Estoc and cutting them to fit the S3 though - I know a Thai company is doing that.

About rooting, can we secure root access guys? Like giving su a password or someting (without messing up SuperSU). Because if someone manages to SSH into our phones (somehow), with open su access we're practically screwed IINM.

Or something. I hope I'm not just being paranoid here.
*
This is the point that CynogenMod team raised while working on CM9.
IMHO having password for su is not complete security.It still can be bypass by some password hacking method.
However having the option to turn off th su access is better.

Any good apps to replace the on/off button ????

Seriously you need app for this? doh.gif
You can add power,reboot stuff at notification toggle area.

Passworded su is a good compromise IMHO. Not bulletproof security but better than nothing. Remember the iPhone JB SSH fiasco?

What I just realized is that EVERY root attempt is captured by SuperSU and permission needs to be granted, which is also good (unless, in your infinite wisdom, you decide to automatically grant access to all requests). Even when invoking SU in terminal.

What is NOT good though, it only asks the first time lol. Oh well.

It'll be better to be able to FORCE having to grant permission on a per-app basis though (which currently can be bypassed simply by unticking the "ask me next time" box).

Sigh. With all this, sometimes I think it's better to just run an effing firewall on our phones.

Well, enough of that. It's just a phone after all lol.

@mscw88: Try "button saviour" from the market. It should work.
*
Well regular people don't bother with these security issue.I do.Which is why till today I don't put much my personal data ( including mobile banking stuff) in phone.There's no fool proof way to completely secure your phone.

It's not just phone nowdays.Mobile phones are turning as credit card nowdays.

Wait. I just realized the S3 can power (and access!) MOST 2.5 inch external HDDs...

ON... IT'S... OWN... shocking.gif shocking.gif shocking.gif

Samsung, what monster have you created? I very sked with this phone now.

Skip my previous "only 1.8 inch HDDs work with S3 OTG" assumption. Though 1.8 inch disks are imminently more portable.
*
Samsung improved the OTG related kernel code & apparently increased the current supplied through the microUSB port.There's 1 video in youtube showing 1 guy connecting bunch of usb stuff to SGS 3.Majority of them works even though few stuff like certain gamepad not supported natively by Android.These gamepad was powered up but need 3rd party app to work properly.
That makes SGS 3's OTG as the best ever for mobile phone.

Have to credit Nokia for making this function popular.
