If you actually looked around(i.e. Used the search function) you would see that most people only have ke7, or custom rom based on ke7. So how can the give you advice? Ke8 just isnt available to the masses yet. So xhill and enjoy your new phone.
Its a case of cant, not wont.

thank you..
Hi are you on Android version 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 ?
XWKE8..
Its still 2.3.3
How is it as to the gradient problem?
Does it recognize ID tags of aac (m4a) audio files? Like the one from iTunes?

After searching alot here, finishing my cup of coffee i did not find any answer so here i am posting this question.
I had much better signal with my Old phone (SE Xperia X10)
I am using baseband: KF1, KERNEL KG1, BUILD NUMBER JPKG2
I am using middle eastern rom for Arabic and Farsi Support.
Which Modem works better with Three Network UK?
I cannot test them one by one as i dont have access to my PC for 2 days
You need to test them yourself unless somebody has gone to the trouble of testing in the last few days for 3 Network .
But i would try KG2 and KG3 first .
jje
I have, try ke7, as that is best for me. Kg3 is bad for me.

I too am using middle eastern rom for Persian support (jpkf3).
I have noticed that your using ke7 modem with this rom.
Just wondering, did you flash that in Odin? Have you experienced any problems so far?
Also, did you manage to find out if I9100XXKG3 (Android 2.3.4) supports Arabic/Persian at all?
Thanks in advance.
KE7 has been the best one so far and I've tested about 6.
Kpa and lp1 are the best

Despite the fact that I'm an AT&T user in the US, several apps now have used pound instead of dollars. So far my USAA and Redlaser apps have done this. Any idea on how to switch them to US currencies? I've tried within the apps with no luck so it's definitely a phone not app issue.

I'm not sure I understand your response. I want to "Americanize" my phone not the other way around... also another issue is my dialer lists a "favourites" option... maybe I should be posting in the rom thread?

Yeah there is no firmware for American users so the next best thing is open Europe which is what I use. And your dialer lists a favourites option? I don't understand what you mean by that. My dialer has a favourites option too? Please post screen shot of this issue?.....

Ok - I'm on board to try open Europe. But I thought the rom decided the firmware? If I want to use open Europe would I have to install the stock version of that? I was just mention favourites as that's the European spelling of the word. I'm more concerned about the currency issue though.
I attached a screenshot of what I'm running

im using stock s3 and my ram goes up to 667MB which is lretty low because I got the international version of s3.
so what is this foxhound Rom? how can I install it? and is it better from stock? what are the advantages and disadvantages?
sorry for long post and many questions.
thanks

Their is an explanation given in the roms description.
Better than stock that's for you to decide read the roms thread .

Hi,
I live in the UK but I was wondering about all of the different stock roms for the one phone are all about. For example on O2 there are a lot of roms all running 4.0.4 but I cannot see the difference between them.
I also want to know what are BTU roms?
I am hoping someone will be able to explain to me what they are all about.... I apologise if this is a dumb question!
Thank you in advance
Steven Chorkley
There are a lot of roms for the s3 and all come with different features but most used to customise and make the phone faster and for better looking ui.i tend to flash new rom after i buy the phone because i have experience but its very easy with samsung phones just install one app flash the root file then choose a rom to flash (im using omega) if u dont want a new rom and just want a stock phone with more features you can try flashing kernels the same way, it will enable you to overclock or even underclock for battery life.you also get updates faster 4.1 isnt even out in the uk and some have 4.1.2
Hope i helped,hit thanks

Different ROMs have different CSC and some are carrier branded. BTU in particular is unbranded. Each carrier has its own ROM. Apart from these, they should all be the same.
Thanks again

Hello
This is my first attempt at rooting a phone and even though I managed to narrow down the kernels I could use to 2, I figured it wouldn't hurt to consult people with more experience at this just to make sure I'm making the right choice.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 bought from Estonia.
My phone's kernel version is as follows:
3.0.15-I9100XWLP7[email protected]#3
Now, as I understood the bold part is what I need to pay attention to when picking the kernel I'm going to use. I searched Chainfire's thread according to the understanding I have and found two between which one is probably the one I'm looking for.
Which of these two should I be looking at (and what's the difference between the two, are they the correct ones?) :
CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

No worries, I know that. It just seems so obvious now, I feel it would've only been normal to have figured it out on my own. As said, thank you for pointing me in the right direction !
I would just flash siyah 4.1.5 through odin.But its up to you.

Why is that?
I read that CF-Root is great if the user is looking for a original-like experience and that it is also very easy to install.
I was planning on rooting the phone and looking into Rootbox jb 4.1.2. What I'm currently looking for is a decent jelly bean rom and rootbox seemed like a good choice. As I understood installing rootbox on a phone with CF-Root shouldn't pose any problems?
Another one I found interesting is WanamLite. Any suggestions in terms of which jb rom for everyday use would be the safest choice for a newbie like me would be greatly appreciated.
You have try them yourself, that's the best way to see what fits you the most.
EDIT: But i'd go with WanamLite because I don't like PA (ParanoidAndroid) based roms like Rootbox.
There are various ways to root using .zip or .tar files,its just what you fancy.
Im happy using GB for now......but I'll give stock JB a try when its out for UK.

If you're using that kernel with stock 4.0.4., wiping data in recovery will brick you phone.
