It is still gooding - my son now using zerolemon normal size - I bought 2 units for him.

RIP my S3 a sudden sds happened ...

Sorry to hear that - Lenovo K3 Note is so gooding - bought 1 for my sister - less than 10 minutes it is rooted,twrp,backup and flashed to different ROM.

My S3 has been slow and even auto-restarts sometimes. Any light, with good battery consumption ROM that you guys recommend? Bug-free will also be a good point. Not looking for performance or feature heavy ROM.

Just wait for latest NCS rom or look for Smart Droid 4.3 these 2 are the best & lightest Jelly Bean ROM for S3.

Then get S6 lorh

Haxynox right now is the only non CM/AOSP based work with a working rear cam but still borked Instagram. Rear cam works every boot but critically at the moment also marred by this weird can't be off charged that's normally associated with stock Samsung kernel(s) on n00t/b2n. Needs more testers to logcat if anyone here is up for it. So now back on NCSROM v18.0 and just mod xposed the damned thing to get proper sanity back.

Pissing me off having to read about these newer leaked Samsung models w/ 1GB RAM but 5.1.1 preloaded on crappy 8GB internal (not exactly an upgrade over our i9300 now is it?).

To me due to hardware limitation of the S3 the best rom suited it is the lightest JellyBean - 444/L5/443 - all stuttering after some time - initially it was good but once the cache has build up its buggy here and there - so now I understand why Samsung doesn't implement KK to S3.

Dunno...tin foil guy in me tells me this isn't half the picture. Tw by all accounts is a hefty tradeoff going at 900 - 1GB average for a .zip and that's still besides the point. The real bloat is the default bg processes which I'm betting the farm that not even the most hardcore Tw fan would use 90% of the time. Buggy as it may from indie devs, time and again 1 thing is evident that is most of them can actually optimize the performance front what they bring out far better than Samsung can.

Case in point:-

Now these are 3GB RAM superphones we're talking about here. Shows the "pedigree" of Samsung's in house devs. If they can't even sort out 3GB RAM then imho AOSP and its thousand strong devs itself can't shortcut that for them.

R u interested in selling ur s3? In searching for bricked s3 or sds s3 as long as the screen still working perfectly

Woow! sad to hear that...

Falling back to this 15th June dated official firmware just for kicks at least till Haxynos gets steadier.

so far ok with this stock rom?

Kinda went with it because I'd assumed this is the GOF1 base dkionline used for NCSROM v18.0. So far so good. Plus needed a proper official as backup should flashplunking goes haywire. Xposed + GB JB works fine. Waiting for dkionline's 18.5 too. He moved the base up to 4.4.2 apparently thus why need to have this firmware ready.

i think NCS 18.5 is not much different to Arter's B2N - I'm kind of disappointed i thot dkionline is gonna polish further the 4.3 base rom.

dkonline do the optimization? i thought he only slimmed the stock ROM...

Heads up fellas NCSROM 18.5

Thanks .

18.5 still JB...

it's fine to me - it suits S3 better - just finished flashing it - better than SmartDroid v9.9
