i did not recomend my friends looking for nexus 5.

because the battery life is not good. (at least its not an all day phone)
especially those note 2 users sure cannot accept the sudden drop in battery life

my relative wana give me s4, it sounds tempting, but i reject it in the end.
after much consideration, those extra feature not worth the drop in battery life.
currently my s3 with 3000mAh battery can last me all day, morning till night with heavy usage.

i dont want to go back to a time where i MUST charge my phone in the evening,
or always worry about battery life.
i always wanted to go for a nexus phone. my biggest complain last time is camera and storage.
nexus 5 fix this with good camera and have 32gb.
but now i have new craving, i wan all day battery life phone also. sweat.gif

thanks for your detailed reply!  thumbup.gif

All kitkat ROMs have camera problem that can be fixed by flashing that CM10.2 fix? Does that mean that even if I use a 3rd party app from Play Store (Snap Camera HDR), it will still have problems if I don't flash the 10.2 fix?

Kit kat rom for s3 still in beta mode which in some cases u might encounter other error. Can refer to related xda kit kat forum

i am using temasek currently, it's my daily driver now.
i gave up on omni long ago, and yesterday i gave up on cm also. 2 weeks of nighty, and no new feature added. heck those are not even new feature, i mean they still unable to add back simple things from cm10.2 to cm11.

temasek is the most complete cm11 rom right now. i was hesitant to use because worry that it is not stable. but i dont really feel any difference with cm11. so i guess it's safe to stick with it.

all kitkat rom have terrible camera. not the quality, but the camera always get the "cant connect to camera" issue.
i bugged me for a long time. but finally there is a fix.

flash this camera fix, it will give you another camera&gallery app from cm10.2 (i just freeze it cos i dont use it, kitkat camera and gallery is more awesome)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505973

the above zip just add the more stable lib files for the camera, after that flash this to get google camera and gallery with photosphere
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2556688

i dont use custom kernel. temasek + banks gapps + camera fix,

my phone finally reach perfection. very satisfied. doubt i will be changing rom again until the next android version out. android lolipop maybe?

i'm still sticking with slimrom 4.2.2. temasek better? any known issues that i should take note?

i am using snap camera HDR too. i use it for video recording. love that it can snap pic and manual focus during video recording. but i never use it as main camera because laggy animation. the kitkat stock camera app is so smooth. swipe to gallery is super smooth, duno why snap camera have very jerky animation.

i cant give you a sure answer about how effective is the camera fix. i just flashed it this morning.
i did lots of test and i did not encounter the "cant connect to camera" even once.

before the fix, there is a 100% way of producing the bug, just press the shutter very fast for many many times.
view finder will hang, and camera app become unresponsive (same for any 3rd party). after close and reopen, cant connect to camera. need use temasek restart camera app.
using snap camera HDR, during video, spam the shutter button, camera will hang and after close and reopen app, cant connect to camera app again.

after flash the fix, i manage to snap 30 pics in succession without error. but if i hit the shutter too fast, it will freeze a short while. exit and reenter camera app, it still functional, no need restart camera.
snap camera HDR during video, how fast i press shutter also it never freeze.

so i guess the fix do work. need to observe it longer.

ah, good old slimbean 4.2, i used it for the longest time, even after 4.3 out. i never stayed in any 4.3 rom because of the laggy aosp browser.

so far for me kitkat rom are good. camera good (after fix), aosp browser smooth. everything available in slim 4.2 is in temasek. (except for lock screen hardware button remapping, such as long press home/menu/back to do something when in lock screen)

about issues, i think got 3 issues.

first is any kitkat thread also got people complain bluetooth audio problem. but i can connect to bluetooth speaker fine. i listen to music all the time with bluetooth. most of the complain is problem with bluetooth audio when connected to car built in bluetooth audio system to make calls. since my car dont have bluetooth, i cant test it.

2nd is wifi tethering. i think all kitkat rom still have not get this working. again i never test this because my data plan very limited, and i never used this feature at all. so no idea it is still working or not.

3rd is aosp browser, it will 100% force close if you open incognito window. not such a big deal cos i can use the incognito mode in chrome.

that's all the issues i can think off right now based on what i learn lurking in xda thread. even omni and cm, they are very stable, no sudden reboot, weird battery drain (people who complain in xda clearly have app issue and not rom related)

I was just about to ask you if there was any bugs on kitkat temasek ROM notworthy.gif

I have a few questions if you don't mind me asking sweat.gif

1. So basically the camera problem is gone so far after you flashed the 10.2 camera fix?
I agree that Snap Camera HDR animation isn't smooth, but I use it because of all the functions brows.gif

2. Referring to the bluetooth problem, is it only for when pairing up with speakers/car audio system got problem?
Is there any problem when it comes to bluetooth file transfer to other phones?

3. Battery life has been decent for you right?

for item no 3. Depend on what are you doing aka subjective.

But I do notice that (using 4.3 or 4.4 rom) if I am using fb/twitter official and chrome apps, battery usage will be higher doh.gif

but no different when I was using 4.1.2 samsung xperiarom doh.gif

imo backup/flashing doesn't utilize higher battery usage compare to that.

How often does temasek update the ROM?

Perhaps should I wait for V23 if it's coming very very soon? sweat.gif

OH and one more question I almost forgot to ask..
What extra features are there in temasek's CM11 ROM compared to other normal CM11 builds? laugh.gif

edit : it's okay, I think i found the answer to my own question brows.gif

Hi there. I have a Galaxy S3( GT-I9300). my current Base band version is I9300DXEMB1 and my Android version is 4.1.2 . I still have about 6 month of guaranty left. I heard if you flash the phone to install new versions you will lose your guaranty. Is that true? if it is true. is it good to update to new version 4.3?
