And yes samsung sucks less coz u get to control your own device instead of having so many locks on it and even parts are comparatively speaking not exorbitant unlike the other company whose name also begins with S.

Samsung is the best of the worst. And the lesser of all evils.

BTW, is it Sony? Why so secretive?

anyone using miui rom? how is it? fast, stable? battery saver?
*
I'm on MIUIAndroid 3.7.12. Launcher slows down sometimes, but clearing memory solves it.

Compared with stock-based ROM, the drawback of this MIUI version:
No system volume
Ringtone and notification volume is combined
No camera low-light mode
Worse battery life than ARHD

The advantages are like monitoring your app permissions (number of times requested, which are denied, which are allowed), control auto-start apps, super easy themeing, big fat icons (bigger than Nova Launcher's 130%), clean UI, etc.

I keep alternating between MIUI and ARHD. If you want fast and battery saver, MIUI is not for you.

Mind to explain what is miui? Just simple explain. If not mistake, aokp means pure android, right

MIUI is a firmware from China for the Xiaomi series of phones. There are official builds for some popular phones like S3, Nexus, Note 2, etc. Even for not-so-popular phones, there are ports. It is not open source.

If you ever switch, update me. My wife and I are on DiGi, she's a supp line. Like you, if I switch, I'll be bringing her along. We call less, more on data. Thanks smile.gif

Anyone got any similar ROMs to recommend? I've only ever used stock and Wanamlite, so thinking of trying something a bit more different.
*
I believe there are only 3 types of ROMs which are different from each other: AOSP/AOKP-based, stock-based, or MIUI.

I like the stock camera functions, like Low Light, etc. Any AOSP ROM have similar function? Tried SuperNexus but the camera UI is totally different and there's no Low Light.

The cost is cheap. Now you know the profit margin of shops.

Original Receipt? I don't have one coz I bought from a forumer to redeem it from their CC. Anyway I have registered it through E-Warranty, will that helps? Any SC will exchange?

Yes eWarranty is enough for your purpose. I've tried it One Utama and Berjaya branches.

To install custom recovery you need to root, so the answer is need to root lah.. biggrin.gif

I thought to install custom recovery, you just need to flash with Odin at Download Mode? Root only required if the custom recovery keeps getting overwritten by the stock recovery (special case).

i think face this issue

Stock Recovery being reflashed after a reboot?
There is an auto recovery restore system on stock roms that will reflash the Stock Recovery on a Stock Rom. If the restore files are renamed then CWM Recovery should not be overwritten after a reboot.

You need to be rooted and then delete or rename the following files:
Quote:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
You can then flash recovery without it being overwritten.

my bro s2 don't have this issue.

Only 3 types of ROM: stock-based like ARHD, AOSP-based like SuperNexus (mostly look the same but slightly different features), and MIUI-based like MIUIAndroid.

I use MIUIAndroid from time to time. Excellent UI and theming. Sometimes use SuperNexus but cannot stand the camera quality. Mostly just use ARHD. Come to think of it, haven't played with MIUI for a couple of months. Maybe will flash soon to see if there's any improvements smile.gif

camera quality varies between aosp (supernexus) and touch wiz (ARHD) rom?

To me, it's different. TouchWiz has the excellent Low Light mode which I couldn't find in SuperNexus. Do any AOSP ROM have it?

You mean night mode?
The original stock aosp camera don't have.

But custom aosp rom like aokp slim bean rrootbox etc have modded aosp cam. So they have scene mode like touch wiz cam. The night mode works well.

In xda themes and apps section. There is a touch wiz cam for aosp rom also. I have it too but seldom use it. I prefer the default modded aosp cam that comes with slim bean
*
Gonna give this SlimBean a whirl. Seems like many users are on it in this thread.

hi all,

you gut encounter issue using headphone for S3? when i using the headphone the volume will go up and down automatically. Sometime it will off itself and when to vibration mode.

i force to set the volume back to middle it will decrease down automatically...
*
I just encountered this the other day. Was using some Sony earphones. Didn't happen with my regular earphones (also not Samsung's). I think it's the earphone connector. You try another pair and see if it happens.

i strongly agree using silicon tpu or rubbery case that are bendable.
those hard plastic case that are not bendable are useless, just protect from scratches but 0 protection from fall.

i use the mercury case, rubbery kind, during a drop it helps absorb impact.
not saying 100% unbreakable, but chances of survival much much higher than hard case.

another important thing to consider is the case must have some protrusion at the front,
so that when the phone is face down on the table, the case is touching the table instead of the glass
*
Agreed fully. Hard case offers no drop protection, may scratch the chrome, and normally don't cover top and bottom. I'm still using cheapo transparent TPU, phone still looks like new plus can see my Ironman battery cover tongue.gif but hands itching for Mercury jelly.
