yes if you're custom roms lover . sometimes when flashing custom roms, it will corrupting the efs files in the phone, and this make your phone unusable as phone*. to fix this, you have to restore the efs file back

Since I didn't flash custom rom yet, I don't have to backup first.

do i need to root first before flashing enox rom? or the roms include root file?

Root is required for flashing custom ROM.

yes, and stay on stock rom but rooted already enough
you just need custom recovery, cuz the roms will already be rooted and you only need to flash the roms zip using custom recovery like CWM or TWRP

if i root can i delete bloatware?

maybe i'll wait till there is a stable custom roms is out. staying on stock roms but rooted would be a good choise.

yes you can with titanium back up pro(paid), freeze the apps. or you can used greenify(free) to freeze the apps

jelly bean 4.1.2 stock rom already good enough, just need root for more option . That why i choose stock rather than custom recovery, no end of updated = flasholic

ok. i'll try to root first. if not satisfied maybe i'll flash enox.


eh, btw. if samseng send out an official update of the stock roms. can i update normally thru phone eventho is rooted? do i need to unroot first?

no you can't do OTA or KIES PC update, you need to unroot or manually download the updated from sammobile.com and flash it using odin,
same like disable on apps manager, but titatiun backup can even freeze apps that cab be disabled

OK. Owww man....that means if the next update is coming, we have to unroot and update again......

i think im gonna try enox v4 for the normal s3m.

since N version wont be updated and the only difference is nfc.
will try to flash later after really confirm i understand all the step.

Great !

After flashing must screenshot to us !

yes . but mid and low end samsung phones will have a slow update release.
let us know if the no "N" enox work for "N" s3m

enox say's it will work with no issue. but you will have no nfc.
din care since i dont use nfc.

nice then

lol. i need to download android SDK? amn.. too many software just to install the rom. hahaha
