welcome to the family!

Personally, I have used antivirus before but i find that it is useless for me as it comsumes a bit of battery.
Although i don't think it's necessary, it's no harm to get antivirus anyhow if you're very paranoid.
If you choose not to use antivirus like me, just make sure you know what you're installing on your phone and you'll be fine

"Better safe than sorry"

is up to you whether install antivirus or not
IMO just install it for safety
I vote for avast better than lookout because avast got all the feature in the lookout, even got the feature that need to pay
else you can consider norton, not bad also

thank you for your quick respond. most of the time i am using to just check my email, calendar, and FB only. btw is quite true also is might take a bit of your memory as S3 memory location is quite limited.

Sorry for the confusion ramz & calvin_kenni. The google live navigation I mean is turn by turn technically. So there is a way to get this working in S3 ya? I'm using IOS's waze too just thinking if can use the turn by turn with S3 google map it's even awesome

still no news on official JB ........

Thanks apisfires for you advice. I used ROM manager because i thought it was able to do complete system, app, setting all in 1 go in case factory reset become inevitable. Haha. Currently also using TB for all my apps backup.

Was toying with the idea of wanamlite but currently my knowledge a bit too fresh. No guts to flash my s3 yet. Maybe after a little while to get a bit more experienced.

Thanks Noobi3, but for some wierd reason i couldnt figure out how to force it to backup (both TB and ROM manager) to my ext SD and not my internal memory. Still toying with the app. Haha.

Hmm will S3 get all the feature that is available in Galaxy Note 2 in JB FW?

you must know S3 have different framework with your old device, so i advice you never do complete system, app, setting.
backup apps+ data only, never backup system, your phone will be fuked

For TB , go to Preferences > Backup Location ...... If it's internal memory , it s should be mnt/sdcard . . Fromc there , u can crea te external memory . I forgot exactly but I think is externalsd ...... Try around , it's somewhere there . No idea on ROM manager but for Android backup , it's dependant on the recovery . Some save in internal , some in external

JB stands for Johor Bahru actually.. to Johoreans this is OUR android..

Phew. Lucky you told me. Haha. Thanks apisfires.

Thanks Noobi3, will go to my setting and check it out after this.

If you want to do full backup for your phone system, current firmware/rom and all your apps plus data then it's better you do Nandroid backup using CWM recovery.
Anything bad happen or you need to do factory reset then you can just restore everything back using the same CWM recovery.

Just wanna ask , how to make my S3 Navigate with voice feedback like Garmin GPS for direction , example like when exiting left it will say out loud , Exit Left In 200 meters then turn right , something like that .

use waze/sygic

i found out that the icons wouldn't change after a certain app has an update on the icons. what seems to be the problem?

Eg, Astro file explorer has a change of icon but it doens't change on mine.

why Asphalt 7 and The Dark Knight Rises cannot ply on my S3. every time i enter is write "unfortunately, asphalt 7 has stopped. Anyone can tell me how to solve this?

Try reboot your phone.

Thanks for the suggestion waveweaver, pardon this question from an inexperienced (<2 week android, <1 week root experience) user but when you mention CWM recovery, i assume it has already been installed into my phone when i rooted it even though i can only see CWM and SuperSU icon in my apps. I assume i can enter the recovery either via the CWM manager or the triple button combination on phone. Does the choice of backup appear in the recovery mode or is it an apk app that i activate similar to all programs e.g. ROM manager and it will self boot and self backup after that?
Strangely when i try to use the CWM, it says "This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled". Umm, i am in need of a dictionary to explain this. Does this mean i have to re-flash again? I used the Odin method of rooting my phone last week.

Thanks again.

tried. i am wondering is it caused by the blue theme that i am using

Ignore the error.....The backup and restore can be access via the 3 button mode...
