I have some questions.
What a difference it to other models?
Is there a ROM working perfectly for him?
Gorilla Glass is scratch-proof?
There is a newbies guide to the Galaxy, but the topic says that the tips do not apply to my model, and now?
Is only possible to overclock if I install a ROM?
What apps do you recommend?
There are some app who make the phone crash stick with lag?
Yes I am newbie. I searched but found no satisfactory answers to my specific phone model. I'm trying to learn.

1. I have no idea.
2. If this model has nothing different from others (which you'll need to find out), you can use CyanogenMod.
3. Hell, no! Gorilla Glass is way more resistent than standard glass, so it is much more difficult to break and/or scratch. But, believe me, it is not impossible (I've achieved to scratch my screen )
4. Wait for someone who knows a bit more of this model, so you don't brick your phone.
5. I guess no, but you'll need to find an kernel for stock ROM with overclock capacibilities. But I strongly suggest you to use CyanogenMod, way better than stock (if it works on your phone).
6. Depends on what you're looking for For games, I recommend Angry Birds and Where's My Water?. For cloud-hosting, Dropbox and Box. For photography, Instagram (just don't think you're a professional photographer with this, ok? ) and HDR Camera+.
7. Can you explain your question a little better? I didn't get it.

Hi guys,
I still possible to make SGS2 unlock the phone as soon as i enter the right pin code on lock screen, without having to press the OK button down the bottom?
Doubt it, asthe ability to lock the sim card be too great. Example: you make a mistake on the last digit. 2 attempts left. You have taken a couple of beers. Ops. Sim Locked
Has anyone found a solution to this??
I've been customizing my phone every day for who knows how long, little by little to get it just how i like it, and this 'OK' button is annoying. VERY annoying. Though, I need a PIN on my phone, and 99.99%of the apps on the market have horrible horrible designs. No offence, but I'd rather stay with the android look. All of the thread's I've found have either told someone to use a third-party app, or use CM10. Well, someone who has almost all of their information on their phone can't afford to install this, seeing as it wipes your entire phone, and for a PIN, that's unnecessary. I don't know what roms are, same with roms. I like the way the touchwiz UI looks on my E4GT(I have fk09 leak installed, recently got this phone, and barely had anything on it). I like the way JB looks with touchwiz way more than it did on ICS(looked horrid).
TL;DR
If someone can find a fix to this, without any third party launchers, or horrible-looking apps, that would be great. If you give a rom, explain how to install it. Thanks in advance.
The rom SlimBean has this feature which I use. It can be found in the lock screen settings.

I'm going to preempt the inevitable question that's going to come following Drexciya's excellent suggestion to use Slim if you want this feature (tick quick unlock in settings/interface/lock screen/screen security).
How do you install it ? Read the first page of the Slim thread in Development. Easy.

Thanks for an answer, but AFAIK, FK09 has no recovery mod, which i didn't realize, and unless someone kniws of one that supports the build,pr whatever, I can't load any mods.. Also, links to specefic topics help a lot..
And you're unable to go to the Development section & look for the Slim Bean thread like everyone else here why exactly ? (using the XDA app on your phone & being too lazy don't count as valid answers).
Re: whatever you're running now that has no recovery, looks like you're going to have to flash something else; another rom that has CWRecovery or at the very least temporary CWRecovery (which will disappear after you reboot) if you want to flash Slim. I don't believe there's an Odin version.

No, I'm not being lazy, I simply dont know where to look. Not sure if you could tell, t I'm new here, and I'm not used to this. Did you expect me to just know where EVERYTHING is? I found this thread after wasting my entire evening looking for a solution, and found this thread. I signed up specefically for this purpose. I was trying to ask for a link without looking too unappreciative, but rhatbobvoliously didn't help. And I don't use an xda app, nor do I intend to.

I really don't know how to do this.. Is there a thread for this? I'll just google it.. Thanks anyways.
My point was (is) I don't have a link. If I want to get you a link, I'd go to Development (by navigating the site; not exactly a new fandangled web thingy) & find the thread, come back here & post the link. You're perfectly capable of doing this yourself, yet you expect me to that ?
That speaks volumes about the people who seem to visit here these days. They want everything served up to them on a silver platter with a minimum or no effort on their own part.
Also, from his first post in this thread, he's an Epic 4g Touch user. Any ROM suggestions he gets here are likely to be i9100 ROMs.

And this shows that some people who find themselves comfortable here can't read. I obviously don't know how to get to development, or how to navigate the forums. I don't inderatand how it takes any more explaination that I DON'T KNOW where to look. Get around looking like a smart allic, and actually take the time to help people around. What are you, 14? You act like it, as everyone is supposed to know everything on a site for developers. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that I know nothing about these things. I didn't do the rooting, soneone else did, so stop expecting everyone knows as much about this forum, or everything you are, because they don't. As far as I know, I didn't come here to argue with someone I don't even know, who thinks they're an internet genious, I came here for support. A link is the least of your problems if you think I know where it is. If you don't want to, don't do it, that's simple, just don't do it. Just don't reply, and save yourself the embarassment, because you just made the forums seem like ignorant children with conputers, who care more about criticising people than anything.

Aren't they both Galaxy SII's? I would think they did the same, and these roms run the same.. Does that mean that there are no rom for the epic 4g touch? If not, is there a way around this without rom?

Clearly you don't know you're in the wrong place anyways.
Yes, they are both Galaxy SII's. They are different, however, since yours (Epic 4g Touch) is a phone designed to work on Sprint's CDMA network. That phone has a separate forum. There are plenty of ROMs for that device in its forum.
The device this forum is for (GT-I9100) is a GSM phone that won't even work on Sprint's network. So no, ROMs for this phone won't work on your phone.

Hi to everybody.
This morning i have bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 to replace my broken HD2 (r.i.p pal).
Now, coming from hd2, i will have a completely different phone in my hands (if i've not been cheated by seller) and i want to ask you something.
1) Does it exist Red Pills for my phone?
2) What should i do/put on my phone to start using it at his maximum potential?
Thanks to everibody
I didn't understand your first question.
If you want to use its maximum potential then first root the phone and install a custom rom and kernel. Syinah is a great kernel if you want to try over clocking it to 1.5ghz or 1.6ghz..
Among Roms liquid smooth ROM and ultima ROM are two ROMs which i like a lot. Liquid smooth as the name suggests has no lag whatsoever and provides many customisation options. Ultima is also a very stable and great ROM.
Have fun with your new S3

Suggest you try a google search or if its a rom read the development section but i never heard of red pills .

Another question...How can i protect my phone screen from accidental falls or scratches?
Is a film protector enough?
Hello,
i want to flash my Samsung device. It says at boot Samsung Galaxy S3 l9300 so i guess its an international with no branding.
But i am not sure and i wont do anything wrong. As far i could check for myself rooting+flashing is pretty easy i just want to make sure everything is good to go.
So please tell me how to check and thing.
Secondly, i dont ask you for the best rom/kernel but i ask you for some Roms with less preinstalled as possible but as much installed as needed.
e.g. its very subjectiv whats needed and what not so
i wont use google maps, video hub, mp3 hub and those social/sharing/web application.
The main goal why i want to flash my sgs3 is to maximize the battery as much as possible.
what i use daily:
Phone / E-mail / sms/mms / messenger / social networks (such as facebook, twitter but right now only fb) / Calendar / Contact / Weather / Alarm / Camera / file explorer / mp3 / cloudservice (such as dropbox) and but not so often this time but maybe more often in the future / news apps /
thats it. I really dont want to have all those ebooks/videohub/mp3/hub/flipboard and whatsoever. There are toooo much custom application i never would touch and some of them cant be deinstalled either.
Setting up the sgs3 with samsung and googlemail account should work properly...
Also i am not sure if i need the gmail application preinstalled. I want to use k-9 mail and i never touch gmail but i cant deinstall it.
I am unfortunately newb to it and i cant customize it myself that much but i am willing to install a less bloated Rom
Those are the two question:
What SGS3 do i have
What Rom could you suggest for as much as possible battery improvement/less consumption but still nice to have (i wont have an text base sgs3 like we know from linux itself not sure if that is even possible but i guess so xD)
Thank you for the time
regards
edit: here an screen from phone info

Please use google next time you have a question.

If you are looking for a ROM less bloated browse through the forum and look for one yourself and see which one fits you better.

Re: [Q] from Newb | What SGS3 do i have and
Ok, I'm going to be gentle on you......
Firstly, any help you get will be from people like me, ordinary users that have taken time to learn and then share knowledge.
The forum operates in various principals.
One of the fundamentals is that people read, read, read and learn...
Further to that using either Google or the forum search facility should preceed any posting of questions, as they have almost certainly been asked before.
Questions asking advice about Roms are nearly always considered as best Rom threads, which aren't allowed. The reasons for this are that every users needs are individual and also, from a developers point of view, it is no fun having your Rom compared to other people's Roms.
Just as an additional note, no one earns money from what they do here, it is just people sharing work they have done (in the same spirit as the principal of "open source"
So reread my first post to you, and follow the steps I advised, and you will become a good XDA user, as opposed to a bad one!

I use a PlayStation emulator monstly to run games such as FF7, FF9 and a few others but I like a few android games aswell.

Unfortunately this will be classed as a "Best ROM" thread and because of the subjective nature of the question, is against the rules.
All you can do is test them all and see how you get on

All kinds of Best Rom/Kernel/etc threads are unwelcome, read, research and make your own mind up, as the question is very subjective.

Hi guys,
I've just bought myself a new SGSIII, and as a huge android development fan I instantly started to think of rooting it. I've moved from a 'grandpa' i9000, which was slow and laggy, so rooting and installing custom ROMs was my only hope. But on the i9300 there is no lagg at all, the phone is flying. So the question is - is S3 worth rooting? What advantages and how much of them could you exclude? (I don't count JB 4.2 as an advantage as I've been using it on my old phone for quite a long time and even got bored by it..)
Thanks!

It's still not what I asked . Of course rooting does the same thing, but what I'm interested in is the opinion of S3's users about it - how much of a boost was it, are custom ROMs more handy than stock and so on. These things differ.

It is what you asked. rooting opens the same doorways to new features and a higher level of control on any phone to the same degree. IMHO every phone should be rooted for these reasons.

And I want to know what these doorways lead to. Maybe OCing or installing/uinstalling any particular app/kernel/ROM gives a performance boost. I'm not interested in the fact that I am able to browse or make changes in more directories than normally. I want to know if it's possible to make a difference in S3's performance and how big the difference would be.
