4800mAh? i thought can get 8 hour sot with that capacity.
wifi thetering and clash of titan use so much battery? how long you do thetering?

my battery with slimkat


my batter with temasek



both also looks same to me. everyday will have different value because different usage.
most night time will have a steep curve because stream music to bluetooth speaker.

theoretically slimkat suppose have better battery life because when i use it it already have after call drain fix.
tamesek one is older than slimkat and dont have the fix. but in real life, look at the pattern both seems same only.

hang on a sec. i writing a guide for this.
kesian with people keep getting this error while i'm been free from it for so long.

the solution for camera is already there. just that the person that make the fix keep add new version that add more issue.

this will be my first complete guide to fix this. TS can pin this since it's been asked so many times

first some basic intro:

"cant connect to camera" error will be abbreviated as "CCTC", this happen due to open source hal that is being used.

CCTC will happen on 2 occations.
1. randomly when you launch camera
2. when you snap way to fast in continuous picture focus mode. keep spamming the shutter button and the shutter button will stop responding. unable to press back to quit app. press home and relaunch camera, you'll get CCTC

latest aosp rom seems to get rid of CCTC due to reason 2. but due to reason 1 still happens, although rare but it still happen.

if you are interested to keep original rom camera and use photosphere camera at the same time. follow steps below


if you dont care about the fix replacing your roms camera app, then just flash the v2.3 fix
most important thing from the fix is
/system/lib/hw/camera.smdk4x12.so
doesnt matter what camera app you plan to use.
you can also open the v2.3 zip and copy this to the correct folder. and set permission to rwrr

v3 and v4, i still get CCTC when i snap too fast.
so it defeats the purpose and i stick to v2.3

u spam not kuat enough.
i spam very very fast, at 40+ shot it CCTC already.
of course real life scenerio no one press the shutter that fast, but still, people do complain CCTC error in slim thread. so i guess random CCTC still happen during camera launch.

I try set to power performance preset also.
I feel like same only. No difference also.
Web page load time same only. Scrolling in xda still lots of empty white space that slowly appear.

Only in benchmark it show difference. Real life didn't feel big difference. Maybe need get another s3 test side by side only know.

ya, no harm. already flash. cant unflash

buy from brotan extended 3000mah battery better.
thinner and lighter.

Miui latest for s3 is kitkat based on aosp
Or jellybean based on Samsung 4.3

So which one? Aosp or tw?

Xposed works on miui?

You guys on slimkat,
Do you have option to change theme?

Weird I don't have in my settings.
There is not themes option.

i9305 worth buying? got extra 1GB ram. makes it like note 2. but worry aosp rom not good on it.

dont really need dev support, as long can root and use xposed enough already

urgent question

which xposed module for hardware key rebinding?

I move over to note 3 already.

It is insanely fast. The only thing limiting my speed is the lack of nav bar. Pressing a hardware home button is so slow and annoying.

Thanks to key rebinding, my menu button is now home button.
Kinda become like the first gen HTC one. Lol...

Thanks for the reply boonseng

When playing with note 3, I realize twrp nandroid backup took longer than s3.

This is weird because note 3 should be faster.

When I check the size I found out the reason.
Nandroid backup size of s3 slimkat around 2.2GB

But on stock tw note3 nandroid size is 3.4GB
Freakin huge....

Wrote that long ago. Lol...
Now happy with note 3.
Stock rom, rooted with Wanam xposed.
So satisfied, never visit xda already. Been same state with no experiment of new mod.
retired from flashing already.

whatsapp will never expire. everytime going to deadline, it auto extend for you

If you manage to to download mode then nothing to worry.

Use Odin flash a official stock rom.
It might bootloop due to most stock rom is non wipe rom
Whatever script or error still exist in internal storage.

Manually enter the stock recovery mode
Factory reset and wipe internal storage from there

Confirm fresh booth without problem.

Just stick to one rom la. Keep changing between aosp rom waste alot of time and doesn't really benefit much.
They are both very similar.

Number of cores doesn't guarantee performance.
Is how good each cores is that matters.

Snapdragon 800 with more than 2gb of ram is near ios smoothness.
You can certainly tell the difference instantly when scrolling and loading pages in Chrome. Newer snapdragon 801 and upcoming 805 should exceed ios in smoothness.

Using 720p isn't bad. But once u are used to 1080p, looking back at 720p you'll feel the text is less sharp.

Camera is not only about the mega pixels.
2013 phones have good camera sharpness but bad color
Nexus 5 produces great photos with very pleasant colors with its hdr+. But it's slow to capture.
s4 made huge improvement in camera.
For practical usage, it's focus speed is extremely quick.
And more impressive is the live hdr mode. It doesn't snap multiple pic to process. It already processed in the view finder. What u see is what u get. And the hdr image quality is excellent, not just the sharpness, but the colors. Outdoor photos will look stunning

Technology is constantly improving.
If you don't care and don't mind about speed and camera quality.
Then you'll be satisfied with any phone. Good for you

But saying there is no improvement in mobile tech is plain silly.
U forgot to mention about battery life. The s3 stock battery life is moderate at best. It score 45 in gsm arena battery test. Only with the 3000mah battery it is up to par with 2014 flagship device.

Most new features that u find gimmicky, once you get used to it
You'll start wondering how cn u live without it. (good fast and accurate color camera, high resolution screen, better smoothness and ram, water resistance, and big increase in battery life)
