dont stock touch wiz have better battery life?

i never really compare both before
but from what i understand, aosp rom built on hacks and open source driver
while touch wiz rom run on official drivers and fully working hardware composer

Touchwiz have lots of bloatware, after deleting with titanium backup
doesnt seem to have noticeable impact on battery life also.

the real question is:
different rom really affect battery life?

camera app from lenovo.
a really decent camera, its gallery have lots of nice edit tweaks.

and the camera UI is very cool. especially the focus sound.
give it a try, working well on s3 aosp rom.

Focal app is epic failure.
Full of bugs and always force close.

I'm a long time aosp rom user.
Every aosp rom have this small issue.

The solution is simple. Install restart camera app.
Just tap it and camera back to normal instantly.

I cnt upload the app here. So here is the link.
Confirm working on all aosp rom. You will need supersu app to grant it super user permission.

Got such kernel that cause this problem?
What kernel are you using?

go try slimbean 4.2 la.
http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dl...egory/935-i9300

For features:
it have ALL cm features (+ abit from aokp)
it have way more customization. (change transparency of nav bar/status bar/notification shade/quick settings)
unique feature such as dark UI (save battery for amoled screen)
much better camera (true view,smart capture,scenes,power button shutter,focus mode)

my favourite is swipe to access quick settings.
in the pull down notification shade, swipe left/right anywhere to access quick settings, no need tap the small upper right button.


about bloat:
actually cyanogenmod also got some bloat. they include voice dialer,cm file manager,apolo,many useless live wallpaper.
cm rom size (168MB rom + 93MB gapps = 261MB)
slimbean size (one zip file, rom including gapps 94MB only)

i already did last time when you ask me to

it is not titanium stupid. android 4.2 and 4.1 puts the internal memory in different directory.
to avoid such confusion when moving between 4.1 and 4.2, save your TB backup in external sd card

in aosp roms,
externa sd is /storage/sdcard1
internal sd is /storage/emulated/0

so set your cwm backup and titanium backup in the correct directory.

You delete then your internal memory all gone

Pity you la, since I join this forum in June, you waiting for 4.2, everyday post here hoping and praying.
Now waiting for 4.3 pula, poor thing, living in expectation every day.

been using the extended battery 3000mAh one for almost 2 weeks.

consistantly getting 5+ hours of screen on time with 15-20% to spare before the day end. with 1 hour voice call.
my setup is slimbean 4.2, yank kernel, underclock to 1GHz.

seeing such good battery life, i set the clock speed back to normal, 1.4GHz. notice that phone gets slightly warmer than usual
only get 4.5 screen on time and battery about 5% before i sleep.

i guess underclock really does have an positive impact on battery life

i never use any intensive app, so dont feel the difference when underclock. dead trigger2 runs smoothly even on high setting. but much warmer when never underclock.

so yeah, plan to continue use at 1GHz.

In tb, go menu, preferences, backup folder location

It has auto detect also but takes long time to scan everything. Better to find the directory yourself

I use bumper.

I just bought a zoogue social case.
It's basically a mate surface tpu soft case.
It's very flexible and can fit the extended battery too. But i dont like the black color so I use back my old bumper.


If anyone wan the zoogue case can pm me.
It's brand new with the packaging box too.
Sell RM 30 free Postage.

I bought 9.9 usd from their website.
Free delivery. But need wait 2 weeks.
If u buy from me I ship instantly

Pics with the phone. In case you wondering can fit or not. Works with normal s3 with stock battery too

Bumper, phone slimmer but more prone to damage.

Case, phone thicker but more likely to survive drop.

Buy from eBay or amazon

Never happen before.
Just press the back button to minimize it?

Some kitkat goodies to enjoy

I reread your post few time but dun get what are you trying to say. Got typo?

I wanted to flash slimbean 4.1 to see wether its more stable and solid than 4.2
I never liked the 4.2 camera, the delay when changing orientation is really annoying.

But I can't get 4.1 to work. After a clean install, I keep getting aosp keyboard force close. It probably need google service to be updated. But I can't enter play store to update it, because I can't insert my google account. Why? Because the keyboard is not working, I can't bring up the keyboard, I can't connect to wifi too because I can't bring up keyboard to type my password.

So does this mean there's no way to go back to aosp based 4.1 roms?

Never bother to try the launcher. I prefer nova

Camera has smooth animation.
But still sucks due to rotation delay. Come on, already 2 update still have this bug. Also, Photosphere don't work.
