whats the most convenient way to get root + cwm recovery?

i want to be able to flash custom rom,
in first page, root method are cf root, exynos abuse, framaroot

cf auto root stated as recomended, but in xda thead chainfire says he not maintaining it anymore, and doesnt seem to have cwm recovery

exynos abuse method might cause camera issues.

the framaroot never mention about including custom recovery.

is there any universal kernel that once flash auto root and have cwm? in s2, siyah kernel is universal across stock rom version, and provide root+cwm. for s3 siyah is not a recomended method?

Thanks, CF root seems very easy to do. just use odin to flash.

for the cwm, you say flash using odin.

cant find the cwm in xda, is it directly go http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
and download the .img for i9300?

odin can flash .img format? i thought only tar?
does the cwm recovery remains even if i change rom? i plan to use omega rom.

i got my s3 already, successfully rooted and have cwm. thanks guys!

i have a very peculiar problem with this phone.

i cant change the lock screen wallpaper no matter what i do. its always stuck with the default omega one. i got so frustrated i flashed alliance rom.

but i cant change lockscreen wallpaper as well in alliance rom.

WHATS GOING ON??

i'm so confused. anyone got such issue before?
got one dude complain in omega thread also, but no solution yet.

Is lockscreen wwallpaper . not boot animation.

I found the culprit. It's the crt effect mod.
I will lose ability to change locks screen wallpaper after flash that mod.

I cwm restore then ok already.

yup, just got it yesterday, plan to sell my previous s2 now.

i have a tiny red exclaimation mark on the screen when phone boot up.

in the first page says see post 54 of a forum. but that link has been removed.

what exactly is this mark? should i worry about it?
it this the so called yellow triangle? that i need triangle away to remove?

cant remove even with triangle away?


so its normal for all custom rom user to have it?
i dont plan to use back stock rom. so i guess i'll have to bear with it.

thank you very much for the info.

once i flash back stock rom with stock kernel, it will auto be removed right?
then nothing to worry.

luckily its just a small small dot, not a giant big big yellow triangle.
at first scare me i thought dead pixel. haha...

what is TA?

is it normal for phone to auto on gps everytime after reboot?

i'm not sure what app is causing this.
but everytime i reboot, the gps will be on and its searching for location.

I rmb the s3 advertisement say the camera cn auto snap picture using voice command like cheese.

But I cnt find the setting. How to enable?
Look all the settings in camera app but cnt find.

Problem solved after I turn off auto update location reporting in google maps.

Oh, thank you so much
No wonder I couldn't find it, I have frozen s voice.
Defrost it and camera now have voice shutter. :thumbs

i just realized that the mhl adapter for s2 does not work for s3.

so i dun think there's any reason for me to stick to touchwiz rom.
i have flash aokp milestone.

but all my internal memory lost. my pictures, ringtones, gps maps etc.

under storage, it still state the memory is being used, so i guess my files are still intact.

is there a different path for aokp and samsung rom?
please advice. i'm confused.


edit:
by using storage analyzer, i found that my previous stuff are all under
/data/media

and the aokp rom is treating
/mnt/sdcard
as the internal phone memory.

this is stupidly weird and confusing.
duno how long it will take to transfer everything.

edit again:
man this phone is driving me nuts!
suddenly after a reboot all my files come back.
the sygic able to launch, gallery can detect my pictures again, ringtones appear back.
duno what went wrong in the first place.

perhaps you can install "rescan media root' from play store. its a root app,
it will force a media scan.

my phone now rocking aokp.

very happy with this rom. have some weird lockscreen wallpaper issues with omega and alliance rom previouly.

the default modem in the rom now is XXEMB5, change to DX model will be better?

you can see in youtube.

it adds a significant amount of bulk and make it very very thick.
There's an interesting comment in youtube, he recomend using the phone with the bigger battery without the backplate straight into the case.




i personally dont think its worth the price and hassle. buy 2nd spare battery better.
