dont think that a crack, if you are buying first batch, you will have that, mine white S3 also have that, kinda like meeting point, crack is when you have hole, between the chrome,

could be, its out at kies server not leak.

flipboard going to have 5-8 page about this tonight for sure

i got engadget, and android news in there, android news consist of evey android web news

no, anything that is official release by samsung (doesnt matter where or what country) is not consider as custom rom, its consider as official, and you will get poland OTA, not malaysia OTA, using the phone

depends on where you are right now, stock ics going JB maybe no need, if leak JB, kinda recommended.

hot boot, if not mistaken, it just refresh the UI,

1) not much change except the CSC or MODEM -> contain things about network/carrier setting. doesnt matter you want to wait or not cause both the same, both can be use daily.

2) its always strongly recommend to backup your contacts,sms,apps. you will lost root and your siyah kernel if you are using odin to glash, if you use wanam rom, you only lose siyah

3)nandroid included everything from kernel to system to apps to setting. titanium backup only apps and the apps data. yes titanium is enough, most people here usually only use titanium,

4)i havent heard any incompatibly yet. so yes you can root it back

english confirm got, chinese not sure.

you need to create the nandroid backup yourself recovery -> backup and restore

official for poland

gallery?

this problem supposed to solved after update,

yerp, that a very bad crack, go SC try to fight for it,

Added on September 25, 2012, 1:26 amjust flash it, it doesnt care if you root or not, after your flash it using Odin, you will loose root,

p/s: NEVER go and wipe you data directly after flashing using odin, install CF -root first then do the wipe if you want,

direct wipe after flashing odin will wipe your internal SD card files too

before flash, backup,with titanium or nandroid or both, make sure your ALL contacts are all sync to google, and your sms have been backup using sms backup and restore app, and your whatsapp chats are backup.

get your cf-root ready (the one that need to flash using odin, not the CWM type),get your firmware ready.

there are 2 way to do here,

1. no wipe (im assuming this firmware would not auto wipe, and the firmware could boot without wipe).

open odin , open up the firmware into PDA slot-> phone boot download mode -> stick in the usb ->flash -> wait phone to boot**** -> flash cfroot -> done

***if after like 10 minutes your phone still stuck at the samsung logo follow number 2



2. wipe. (recommended by people alwiz)

open odin , open up the firmware into PDA slot-> phone boot download mode -> stick in the usb ->flash -> wait phone to boot then shutdown/if stuck at logo pull battery out -> flash cf-root ->boot recovery -> wipe data ->reboot ->restore your data using titanium/nandroid


root no need wipe, only when you are changing firmware it is recomended to wipe

use root explorer or titanium

freeze/remove samsung TTS and google TTS

its an apk in the system/app or in titanium, system application

TTS = text to speech, freeze or remove this 2, you wont have that bug again, and nothing will affect the phone performance or stability

uninstalling talk back or turn it off wont remove that bug of lightflow.
