just buy a bumper.

for me i dont feel the added thickness at all.
bumper + extented battery back plate = normal battery backplate + mercuty jelly case

unknown brand. i just walk around in mines, and buy one that fit.

rubbery kind. but it doesnt protect the back.
my back plate already got abit scratches.

looking for the zoogue case now.

any case also can fit if with out back cover
but
dangerous to use without back cover. worry moisture will seep into the components inside shorting the battery.
i wouldn't want it to explode in my pocket.

sure or not. every samsung shop i go also never sell. thats why resort to buy online.
lowyat garage sales & lelong no body sell.

sep in kl also dun have.
i remember i saw in sep ipoh got, kinta city one, but they sell very expensive.

i'm using similar icon pack in nova launcher, hahaha

yes

frankly speaking there is no smoothness difference between 4.1-4.3 aosp s3

but for touchwiz 4.1-4.3, i can imagine it being even slower and laggy on s3
4.1 is great
4.2 add abit s4 bloat ware
4.3 add abit more bloat ware from note3
4.4 add abit more bloatware from s5

those newer phone can cope with the extra bloatware due to higher spec
but s3 is old generation exynos with 1gb ram only.

Are you using this?

You have to be rooted.

Then u can use greenify to do exactly what you want

why would people use this instead of whatsapp?

there's too many these kind of copy and paste apps around already
viber,line,kakao talk,wechat,whatsapp,hangouts,chaton, even fb support call and message



i think the most famous on is whatsapp

install ALL of them might drain your battery due to too many push notification
and them running as service all the time in the background

cm10.1.3 is android 4.2

aosp rom 4.2 imo its the most stable for s3.
4.3 ones still buggy, recomend you try slimbean 4.2, similarly stable, less bloatware and got more features and controls

aosp rom 4.2 the battery reporting will always show "android OS" usage very very high, even higher than screen brightness. flash yank kernel if you dun like it, it reduce the wakelock caused by android OS.

why use powersaver governor, its stupid because it limit max cpu freq to 200MHz only. for sure lag.
pegasusq is the default for exynos.
change to on demand your battery sure will suffer, its trigger happy to go higher freq all the time.
just dont mess with the governator and leave it as default.

if you concern about battery life, buy extended battery

https://www.iconfinder.com/

this website alot of nice icons, can be used as nova icon or lock screen icons, not bad

sds is due to kernel problem. not android version

already finish playing all 3 worlds on my ipad.

dont really get how to play on phone, too small display.
i saw people play on iphone, my index finger area already cover 2 plants

main tips, dun waste keys to unlock useless plants like the grave eater,
save all keys to unlock the double sunflower first.

agree. 4.2.2 is stable already.

match with this kernel battery life even better

(no idea why yank dont post in xda, but in his own forum, yank is active slimbean user, and his kernel is tested using slimbean, be sure not to install the wrong one, install the cm10.1 version for android 4.2)


4.3 brings not improvement in smoothness,
but add more bugs and app not working list
~superbeam app not working
~super laggy aosp browser
~worst camera than 4.2

Register only la, doesn't take long.
His kernel very gooding, solve the android OS drain, and very smooth too.

He got Samsung kernel also, but I never test it before.

Yes stable.

I long time never encounter can't connect to camera error.

But it's safer to keep the app 'restart camera' just in case. If ur camera got that error. Launch restart camera , and your camera instantly available again. Non need restart phone

time to buy new extended battery

No idea what your talking about
