any Rooting/Flashing recommended?

Yep. No changes.

No need reformat. You need a computer and a memory card reader though. EVEN SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BACK UP THE DATA YOU HAVE ON YOUR MEMORY CARD - just in case.

Use a software called Minitools Partition Manager (its free). You can resize the partitions on your memory card without reformatting it. No data lost asso.

After resize partition, create new primary partition from the free space and format it as "linux swap". Pop into S3, flash Yank555's script and you're done.

Last I checked got a couple of people running swap on exfat with 64GB cards no problem.

@cloudfan: S-off? We dun need no S-off here lol.

Err xcuse me how to freeze apps?

zhao answered you already

backup current kernel using hellcat k-tool
then dump it





why don't you go xda developer forum check yourself ?

how about paranoidandroid ?
i download already haven't flash

my s3 has been charging for almost 1 hour and battery remained at 69% and out of sudden dropped to 68%

anything wrong with its battery? i have cleared all running apps and also restart twice the device...

fed up

there a new OTA update
*just a minor update which just update the baseband version only, to those who using BLG8 can give it a try

source

see the battery monitor and see which app during that duration of drain is using the most power.

then check the settings for the program such as sync and gps which are usually the culprits of battery drain. also check on googleplay other user comments about the battery life of the app whether they are also having the same issues.

i saw a few batter monitoring apps but i too am still unsure which is the best/accurate


For example this betterbatterystats app

i still think PowerAMP does a better job even on Siyah's kernel. im using Treble booster.

the bass is so solid on PowerAMP usign default Headsets . for me, this is the best 5dollar app i have paid so far

no update for us yet we are slow in everything

Could Samsung be launching a black version of the S3?

Or just a pebble blue one with taken at an angle that makes it look black.

Long press the Home button

well if you hold down menu button (the middle button right at the bottom) until a menu pops up, you can then press on task manager and end the tasks to force close running apps.

for automation for force closing apps periodically, people use apps like easy task killer

i'm also using that in conjunction with easy battery saver which automatically turns off services like wifi, gps and other power sucking features when not in use
