Ya...I'm also reluctant to go back 4.2.2 although new Gallery damn slow to execute and miracast not work anymore. However still smooth when playing games.

Install 4.3 camera from s4 Google Play edition.

Aosp gallery is buttery smooth. Instant loading and very fast scrolling

hi everyone, i seriously need help..after i flash into a custom rom, my imei is unknown but i already backup my efs...so i deleted all the files in the efs folder thinking it will solve the problem but it didnt..so i flash back to official firmware via odin..now my phone is just stuck at the samsung logo..pls help me..what shud i do??
*
totally blink.gif at your genius thinking.

why would you delete your efs folder?

anyway, use odin, flash a stock samsung firmware inside.
that should allow it to boot properly.

if your imei still missing, root your phone, use hcktools, and restore your imei from your backup.

stock rom memang slow.
but since its new, many people here testing it, some even like it.

for me i cant stand all the tiny delays that keeps heppening.

i accidently deleted it..i already stock the samsung firmware from sammobile twice..n it still stuck at the boot there..cant enter the phone...can i root it in this condition??

do you still have access to cwm recovery?
try restore from your backup.

if dont have, boot into stock recovery, then factory reset and reboot.
if still stuck at boot logo, then you might brick your device already.

dont knowwhat happento samsung hp. after every new rom upgrade.it will make phone more slow.

That's because every new touch wiz rom is meant for newer hardware.

TouchWiz 4.2 is for s4
Toich wiz 4.3 is for note 3.

Touch wiz add so much extra feature, and s3 hardware is not capable to run it as smoothly as s4 and note 3.


just like iOS device.
ipad 2 and iphone 4, they were fast and buttery smooth when they were on iOS4.
but now? on iOS7, they are so laggy, perform like mid range android device only sad.gif
animations are no longer buttery and high frame rate.

hmmn, using the kernel recommended for few days, my phone got some freezing here and there, super minimal apps. still think that 4.1.2 is better, at least it only hav delay in opening up the contact.
or is there anything im lacking off? disabled most of the apps in the irreland version, flash the kernel already. download apps less than 10. one thing improved is the battery. if u can giv any feed back on what im lacking off i would be grateful,
tried cyanogen mod the camera is so laggy/ slow inresponds?

you can use 4rd party contact/dialer app.
ex dailer is very good and fast, free too

I think my charger port at bottom of the phone is broken. Charging the phone is so slow, tried few different types of charger and still slow. Does anyone know how much the cost to repair it as the phone is over the warranty?

Sounds more like a battery issue.
I'm using extended battery.
My stock original 2100 mAh battery not using and plan to sell.
Condition great, pm me if interested.

Found a killer camera app.

Has Best of Samsung camera and aosp camera feature.

-working HDR mode, something aosp camera lack
-swipe left in view find to view last pic, Samsung camera no such feature
-no rotation animation when change orientation, aosp bug fixed
-no view finder cropping, finally, stupid aosp bug fixed
-very cool focus animation
-able to choose focus mode
-volume button shutter
-able to toggle 4.2 and 4.3 aosp cam interface, and add custom shortcuts
-able to save to sd card

Here's the killer feature,
-touch viewfinder to focus during video recording, AND able to capture full 8mp pictures at the SAME time.
-stable shot, something new, camera only capture when phone is steady. Great for shaky hands.

Unfortunately it's a paid app called Snap Camera HDR.
Well worth the money for me.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...rginz.snaptrial
Can try the trial version, full functionality but only works on airplane mode.
I gave it a test and totally love it. So I bought the full version.

wanam + boefella kernel (zram performance)

cell standby and device idle is highest in battery usage after screen.
you barely use your phone also for browsing, fb-ing, gaming.

obviously you get 4-4.5 SOT, which imo is the max limit for s3.

Sad news from xda cm10.2 nightly thread. Below is reply from yank. The guy who made yank kernel

QUOTE
I think you missed a whole bunch of episodes

Xplodwild has totally left CM and is working on OMNI ROM, as is Entropy and others, Codeworkx is busy with real life and also not really Samsung friendly anymore (very understandable if you ask me).

So no, there is no active device maintainer as such, but I'm happy to be corrected here.

Nightlies are auto-generated and may include general ROM side patches (maybe, not been following), but kernel-side you won't see much happening.

New mali r3p2 sources have been out since novembre 5th or so, and they are still not merged... what does that tell you ?


Someone tried to push them. Problem: they break compatibility for some devices that omni luckily doesnt support, should be solveable via excluding certain devices in the mali build etc.

That's the point, it will take ages if there's noone pushing to get things through, in other words, a device maintaner.

Though I doubt it will be easy to find any free soul willing to do this in his free time as a hobby and community project, due to Samsung's not helping, and CM gone corporate...

So I'd rather be looking on the OMNI side of things for the i9300.

CM should be (and likely are) focusing their efforts on OPPO devices, their only (real life and paying) customer currently.

But again, I'm glad to be proven wrong on this oppinion of mine...

JP.

So apparently cm progress was stuck since few months back. And won't have a stable version anymore.
Heck even RC version also don't have.

Guess I won't be waiting for a stable 4.3 aosp rom anymore. Good thing I'm happy with 4.2 rom. Been using slimbean since August. Now wana read more about omni rom.

up long time ago actually ...
you using stock 4.3 or custom ROM that base on stock 4.3 ?
not rumor, is true
go change motherboard if your s3 still under warranty
AOKP look also around like that
and a lot developer supporting omni already
sad case for CM cry.gif

yet, boeffla kernel download website quite messy, stable and beta testing =.=
*
Omni is rom kosong.
Nothing inside other than pure aosp.

No cm aokp or cm feature.
Feels like a downgrade to me, only up side is the placebo effect that make u happy u r on kitkat.

So this case is suitable for S3 with extended battery? I mistakenly bought the extended battery with blue cover but my s3 is white.
*
Mine also white s3 but I bought the blue cover. It looks really silly without case.

But with case you can't tell the difference at all. So I never bother it anymore.

This battery is definitely worth it.
Last time always use phone sked sked no battery. Now no need to worry at all. It's like note 2 battery life.

Today rarely use my phone. Already after dinner still have 50%

bro.. final two questions:

1) have you try plugging in a "L-shaped" headphone plug or a "L-shaped" mircro usb otg cable?
I'm wondering if the casing cut-out will be big enough for those cable as my current cipalak casing cannot fully insert both the "L-shaped" headphone plug or a "L-shaped" mircro usb otg cable.
2) can post a pic of the blue color casing? I wonder if it is exactly the same as the one in the website.
Thanks!

So far I never encounter such problem.
The earphone hole is big

Charger hole is big enough for s4 charger, with bigger than usual USB body
But Sony charger those L shape one like xperia s cnt fit. Need remove case.
