hi, newbie here in custom rom world, thinking of trying wanamlite custom rom in my s3, so before i makes any mistake, here i list down step by step in what i have read and understand from this forum and xda developer :


my phone condition : currently flash to samsung stock rom jelly bean xxdli8

1.goto here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238) download cf-root 6.4 & odin3-v1.85
2.unzip both files
3.start odin3
4click pda button, select cf-root-sgs3-vX.X.tar
5.put phone in download mode (vloumn down+home+power).
6.collect phone to pc
7.have to make sure repartition is not checked
8.click start
9.wait for phone to reboot
10.done and consider root successfully


11.so after above settle and phone can switch on, i need download wanamlite latest rom here (http://wanamlite.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=6868)
12.install cwm recovery (should already have when root just now?)
13.wipe data / factory reset ? do i need to do other wipe like ‘wipe cache’ / ‘wipe dalvik cache’, is it necessary ?
14.flash the wanamlite rom
15.reboot.


any step i miss out and wrong ?

i don hv this issue also in previous stock ics or now stock jb...

250mb a month enough? you muct be control the usage vy well then...

yeah...just want to share my happiness with all newbies here... 1st time root and flash custom rom in my s3...and success with the guide given... during rooting and flashing... both hands feel so cold...keep on watching the screen scare to miss any of the step.

my s3 now is wanamlite latest version.... exploring time to find out diff with stock rom...right now at this moment only notice that the toggle button got a lot...and i notice that all my data was still there.apps.sms.setting all remain same...


well. would like to from experience user here...normally after u flash to wanamlite... what will do do next?

the wanamlite use and feel realling like samsung stock rom...this time of successful flash custom rom really encourage me to try more and more rom in coming future... cant describe the satisfaction when manage to install and run smoothly....

just reset the phone and reinstall apps 1 by one, it automatically download and install in my phone ...

yalo.....suddenly like at another android arena.... so much things need to relearn...

oh..ya.now only notice that... thanks for the update.

hahhaa

whats the problem with your unit ?

by the way, sms ewarranty checking for the samsung phone seems no longer working, any method we can use it to check if we want to buy 2nd hand phone?

Really?which 1? Or 1 should monitor on who always offer one x for 1200 ? He always offer that price last month when I was selling my one x.

By the way. My wanamlite jb room break my own record .battery so lasting. Last time using stock o ics or stock jb battery can't even last more then 18 hours even my s3 use as my secondary phone. After flash to wanamlite, after 24 hours the unit still got 21% battery...

Hehe. I am alao wanamlite user...since yesterday...battery usage is much more better then stock rom

did u set any push email account inside? last time my case is when i set hotmail with push the unit drain vy fast. also u mayb can try turn off dropbox upload when not in use. manually switch on certain time when u want to sync.

Good to hear that. So far i only install wanamlite and it rock stable and battery friendly. You may wait for other user input before you decide. Wanamlite serve me well.

U can try wanamlite. Looks almost same as stock ROM

my blue set also got 1 line like crack...i also wondering that time but don care much as the blue colour hardly notice.

hi, jsut now that got new wanamlite version update... if i want to upgrade my exising wanamlite jb verion to latest release, do i need to wip data/factory reset ? in cwm recovery mode, under advance, there is wipe dalvik cache. do i need to do that also ?

data in the phone is not an issue for me as pic i already sync with drop box, sms already abckup with sms backup program, nothing much i need to keep actually.

yeah...wanamlite jb again now...

I use kingston class 10.

1. u can campre at garage sales
2.umobile

eh, i thought this method was only work got galaxy nexus that time they role out jelly bean on july.... also apply to s3?
