Night and day in some cases, I was thinking of getting rid of my tablet till I tried Tasks rom. A friend was over with his Ipad last night and after playing with the Samsung he asked if I wanted to trade which of course I said NO. I would read though the forum on the different roms to see which one might fit what you need

Basically there is no point talking about it. Just do it and see for yourself. There is proof enough in the dev section that it won't do any harm, if you follow the instructions. Just flash cwm and then tasks rom. Don't bother rooting if you haven't already done it. The rom does it for you.
Why NOT root is a better question! Too easy, and revertable.
I think only thing stopping me is if I do decide to sell my tab some ppl want it original

You can unroot the tab by flashing any stock ROM. So need to worry for this reason.

overclock to 1.4ghz using setcpu app.
in most cases if you get a custom rom then it is also rooted
check out Task650's 3.2 rom, now at Ver 8 - really night and day compared to stock or just plain rooted

Hey guys,
I've recently converted to the S3 from the GNex.. I'm used to the stock android feel. I've read that the Galaxy S 3 comes with unlocked bootloaders.. does that mean if I root I wouldn't have to clear data?
Because I'm honestly willing to settle with this phone, I've changed 7 phones in past 6 months and I'm sick of losing my data..
So help me..
Can I root without losing data?

I'm really interested in rooting.. but I'd prefer staying on stock ROM. Is there a way I can root, and modify the stock ROM?

The toolkit is doing the same thing. It's best that you learn to do it through Odin. It's far more safe this way it's not like you are going to break it or anything.

Hello.
I need 3 Parts Firmware+PIT.
I have a problem,after repair EFS with EFS.img from i9300,the Device restart and hang on i9305 Logo,I have tried Wipe Data and flashed with original Fimrware via ODIN,but same Problem,I think I need repartition,can anyone help me?
ask faryaab from here or sammobile.com i think he would know if 3 part fw is aviable
So let me get this straight you didnt do the i9305 backup properly, so then some thing went wrong and you lost your imei. And then you tried to repair it with a i9300 efs ??

hahaha I love that bit of your signature .... you know what Its funny how some of i9300 users hate us talking about how the i9305 is better then the i9300 in a few different ways, they get so angry and envious it makes me laugh. Idiots
The only thing they can come up with is ohh ohh well that device doesnt have as much support! well i guess they are right for now but Id really like to prove them wrong so come on guys lets try port as much as we can over haha and the more users we have the more support will get, so if more people get enticed to get this device because they starting to see the dev support is growing... well the quicker the support will grow
But anyway like you said my stock rom runs smoother then my favourite tweaked up nandroid i had on my I9300, which was Foxhound rom haha.
And right now I am close to tweaking my rom as close to that... so just imagine how smooth its running now
Do you guys have your devices rooted sucessfully w CF root? bc all i really need is root. we are working on porting a (edit) heavily tweaked v of cm10 currently

Hi all!
Tomorrow I will receive my new phone and send away my beloved Note 2.
I have loved the note series but I was too pissed off with Samsung shying away from 6" and giving us a measly .18" display increase on the Note 3 so I decided to try something else.
I have been reading a lot and learning about accessories for the phone etc. And of course ready to root and try a ROM and OCing righaway.
So just wanted to say hi to my new community!

Nay, you need root to install recovery, but you can use recovery without unlocking your bootloader. You can't flash custom ROMs (CM/Omni/PA/modified stock) without unlocking it though.

Well, since you mentioned it, i'm not that sure anymore. If it's possible to flash a modified stock ROM with a locked bootloader, it doesn't include AOSP ROMs, since i know that you must have an unlocked bootloader to flash those because of signatures etc.
(Feel free to correct me, people!)

To elaborate, you can't use custom kernels with locked bootloaders. The signatures mismatch and thus, the ROM doesn't work. That includes AOSP kernels obviously.
Unlocked bootloaders don't check the kernel signature and thus, you can use custom kernels. ROMs have nothing to do with it. The 'custom' ROM being mentioned uses a stock kernel, so it can run on both LB and UB.
Basically,
Locked ---> Stock kernel from Sony only.
Unlocked ---> All kernels.

I too have come to the X Z U from a SG Note2. I had been contemplating the note3 but the region locking killed that idea.
Now the Note 2 seems ordinary size, and smaller phones like toys! And the XZU is definitely faster than the Note 2, even though the latter never felt slow.
