actually u can.with the latest triangle away have an option to set ur modified status to become official...

it need factory reset to make the device show official.. triangle away just reset the counter.. from my opinion.. feel free to correct me..

I ord reset counter but device still show modified

bcos it writes your phone, possibility of bricking. anyway if u still got root apps installed the status will still show modified

aduh... then any trick can get in?? 

Confirm triangle away cant change phone status from modified to normal

About status is only useful for stock ROM (and it allows OTA updates) ; on all other custom ROM, i think it will always show as normal; anything the ROM creator wants to show really....

Most important is that in download mode shows that your status is Official and custom binary download is No when you sent your phone for warranty claim AND obviously you cannot sent your phone for warranty claim when it is running custom kernel or ROM.

Example needed for warranty claim acceptance is like below.
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official

As far as I know from other forum posts here, there is no rejection based on the hidden flash counters.

i never understood the "page buddy" thing

Page buddy will activate and bring you to new page (only working in original NatureUX touchwiz launcher) when you

• Insert earpiece
  
• Overseas
  
• Put your phone at Docking
  

It auto close once you not doing anything above.

When roaming, it will appear a page with 2 clock widget where you can insert another country clock. Docking I no idea as I don't have the dock to play with.

Actually I don't know why Samsung call it "Page Buddy", sound weird for me.

man, you should really fully utilise the power of google

for charging and make it stand to look like an expensive table clock.
some dock also come with speaker to play music with

Buddy page only working on Samsung own Nature UX launcher.  It won't work in others launcher.

This is Samsung specific, not any  launcher issue.

now addicted on temple run 2
what launcher ?
nope
can give link ?

had you used the Samsung Galaxy S III - GT-I9300 to play Temple Run , really slow.while the 9100 can play very well ,had no  idea about this. while as for other games,really ok.

I still using it, both launcher got pros and cons, why no company can did extreme launcher like Nova or Apex. Hmmm...

What I like on S III NatureUX launcher
- Clean interface, Jelly Bean like app drawer. Easier add widgets.
- Cool Page Buddy functionality. (In latest v4.1.2 only)

What I dislike S III NatureUX launcher
- Memory resource hunger, not really good in 1GB RAM device like S III.
- Lagging due to 1GB RAM issue, it actually perform quite well in 2GB Note II.
- Auto restart launcher due to 1GB RAM issue as well, never happen in 2GB Note II.
- Switching to Widget page is really lagging on 1st few seconds. Widget page never stick like Jelly Bean stock.
- Cannot drag and drop apps icon to auto create folder, need manual create before can drag and drop.

-------------------------------------------------
What I like on Xperia Z launcher
- Less resource use, no auto restart launcher issue in 1GB S III.
- Smooth performance.
- Drag and drop app icon auto create folder.
- Beauty interface.

What I dislike on Xperia Z launcher
- Add widgets is silly, why Sony pick Go launcher idea.
- Screen switching is not that convenience due to no preview when pinching the launcher.

My new layout - still base on Xperia Z launcher, newer v3.0.0

The easier way go use Google Chrome, open few tab page, at least 3. Then when you close it, you will notice all the widget at launcher is gone and restarting. I assume this  is due to memory usage over 1GB (actually exact 833MB only) issue, as this never happen in Note II.

This is the most irritating issue in Samsung NatureUX launcher at 1GB S III.

I open 10 tabs still ok wat

1st - S III open it own phone need wait, 2nd open was fast but no use as it often close itself. This is common thing in phone, but you need to wait it open.

2nd - when you use the Samsung weather widgets + contact widgets, and every page with at least 2 widgets, you pinch to zoom, it will jerking (I cannot said it was lag, it just not smooth animation) from time to time.

3rd - open it app drawer widget page never smooth, it was lag, need wait few second before it just smooth.

4th - from time to time it was auto re-generate the whole launcher. This is common issue since Samsung S III launched and never really fix in proper until date.

S III in general never smooth on animation. It open apps do fast just the animation part was not smooth, exclude open of Phone, Contacts & Messaging - all this 3 common apps take time. All this is common thing and shall not let people wait. It even open slower than S II.

S III processor was fast, faster than One X, but .... the common smooth experience also cannot give.
