Guys..off topic question..how do we polish the s3 back cover to get the back the shine? Been too long in the silicon casing,when take out i can see the back cover is dull and got few white/grey spots. Clean it up with glass cleaner, soap and water, alcohol solutions, all doesnt work..tested with toothpaste also doesnt take out the white spot...any other idea?

i flash d.

wow, very smooth! very light and debloated


omni latest nightly 8th december one still considered rom kosong to me. too empty and even with help of xposed framework, not my cup of tea.

temasek one kindda bloated for me. but it has been my daily driver for about a week now.
one small issue i always encounter is sometimes status bar dont become transparent (known 4.4 bug even on nexus stock rom), and another more serious one is the recent app button sometimes bring up an empty list. very weird.

cm 11 nightly is already 4.4.1 (omni also 4.4.1, temasek still 4.4)
so the status bar transparency solved (one of 4.4.1 changelog).

i hit the recent app button many times already on cm, so far no empty list appear.
cm new boot animation is very epic, minimalistic yet very cool.

guess it's time for me to leave temasek one and use cm.
surprisingly cm still got hope. not bad

buy new fake back cover

I thought no more CM maintainer ??
btw temasek got more features
omni totally just like what you said, rom kosong

What is the best video player app and image viewer app for Samsung S3?

Original S3 video player cannot play RMBV file, and the image pages seems disorder, especially when I have a folder of a comic.

video player I recommend mx player
gallery app no idea

not sure why the rom so smooth. when trying omni i notice it is also smoother than temasek.
(animation when switching app, opening app from notification tray etc, animation very smooth)
i'm pretty sure it's not placebo. maybe 4.4.1 got some polish inside.

i dont use many of temasek feature.
my ideal rom requirement very low,
~nav bar + customizable nav ring shortcuts
~off hardware keys light
~lockscreen shortcut (8 is best, 5 is acceptable)
~customizable quick settings
~volume skip track

image viewer use aosp gallery. fastest and smoothest.
if you are on touch wiz rom, google for android 4.3 camera.
just install like normal apk

video of cos use mx player la. best of the best

what the heck,

when i try to view video on mx player, i get not supported android version

*facepalm. quickly support 4.4.1 la

As far as i know it is very hard to remove it cause if you use something strong it will spoil the cover of the cover. Maybe you can try to use car polish both bumper and back cover like using same material . Maybe you try on the very corner and small part of the cover.

Hahaha! you go too fast...

Never think of trying polish..thanks

I forget got what extra feature in temasek cm ROM
I just found stock CM and omni left some feature

january get 4.4 kit kat ?
impossible, normally is wait until s5 was selling in market

but I not very care about it, next year sure change phone

downloading cm11 now..temasek 4.4 got some problem with the video camera, it is not properly 'aligned' to the screen. also, the camera and media app stops unexpectedly..will flash cm11 today and see how it goes

edit: installed cm11 4.4.1..so far so good..although still got the videp camera problem..the video camera is not exactly in shape..all appears squarish..besides that i have to install my apps again every single time i install a new rom, any easier way to update to new nightlies without installing apps every single time?

Just got to know wanam also quitting s3..

Fortunately, I have nandroid backup and I can still go back to the old ROM. I tried copying the titanium backup into a folder in my pc, flash new ROM, put back all the files into my S3's titanium folder. But still it cannot find apps to restore. Am I doing sth wrong here?

Use titanium back up to restore la, why need to install one by one?

I use the Stock cam for photosphere only.
Camera hdr+ is my go to camera. It is one super awesome camera. I wrote a short review about it in this thread.

pity galaxy nexus users. wonder how they survive.
i think everyday need charge the phone twice.

luckily our phone somewhere in the middle.
with extended battery, will be somewhere between s4 and note 3

Generally Nexus product line use lower cap batt..to keep the price low

Bro you try to copy back to the same location?
