International vs US roms - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been looking at some roms. With the difference of the quad core and the dual core would there be any issues with any of the rooms currently available?

I would like to help you out, but I am not sure what you are asking?

NONE of the GT-I9300 (International GS III) ROMS will work with the North American Dual-Core GS III variants. Period.

Sorry...the current roms I have been reading about such as Foxhound have been used on the SG3 that have quad core processors. The US version has dual cores. Is this a factor when choosing a rom?
Does that help any? Thanks

Yes. They will not work for the U.S. variant.

Thanks guys
So would the current root methods work?

There is a root method in the AT&T GSIII forum area.

noob question about DUAL core

Am I correct that none of the current roms (from stock to the bleeding edge) unlock the full potential of this tablet with respect to it being dual core?
Is honeycomb the only platform that actually supports this or are there versions of froyo and gingerbread that employ support for dual core processors?
What would this even mean for us? As I understand it, having multiple cores in a processor helps with multi-tasking. Both iOS and android are not true multi-tasking operating systems so would we even see a benefit?
Can a dev or someone who really knows what they're talking about straighten me out?
Newer versions will support multi-core systems

Umm... welcome to the forums.. nice first post!
Are you a dev or a programmer? If so, can you elaborate?

Its... Its like he... is a Prophet! He speaks the future in such clarity!
Yeah, I wasn't trying to rag on the guy.... I'm a noob myself. I really would like someone in the know to make this clear for me ( and I'm sure others).
So... How about it devs? engineers? programers? I asked the question like 24 minutes ago.... sheesh.... you guys are really overpaid and overhyped...

Thanks man, that was exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks
+1. I was looking for the same info. Thanks.
no problem

Good article.
Technically speaking, the Tegra's are triple core devices, not including ancillary special purpose cores for video & audio.
2x Arm9's
1x Arm7
To bad it's not the bad boy with dual ARM11's....
So, the article indicated that froyo is dual core capable. Which ROM is built on froyo? What is the stock ROM built on? How can you tell?
Thanks
All of the GTab roms listed here are either froyo or gingerbread. Froyo is 2.2.x and gingerbread is 2.3.x
Thanks. How about the stock ROM? Is that dual-core capable? If so, what constitutes the performance improvement of these ROMs over the stock install?

Going to get an S2, some questions

Hello, after the death of my Evo 3D, i'm thinking about buying a GS2.
How is it? Do you suggest it to me?
I have some questions about battery and building quality, how are those?
Make sure its i9100 and not some i9100G

The seller said that its code is GT-i9100
Make sure its not a G model and double check its not a G model .

SGS2 is rootable much much easier than any other phones, and wide range of custom roms available......
HTC hacking is too much ennoying......this off- that off.....

Whats the difference? I too my be getting one. However after checking out att and tmobile's website i noticed the t mobile version has a 1.5 not a 1.2 Ghz processor. is this correct? Also how hard is it to CID unlock the tmobile version?

Its 1.5 because of snapdragon 3 chipset and its weaker BTW
And also have different sections so the roms here are not compilable with them

Wait, so the T-Mobile version, the 1.5, and it has a weaker processor than a 1.2? How so? And what do you mean "And also have different sections.." as in CDMA and GSM sections?

Clock speed doesn't really matter
exynos 4210(1.2 Ghz) is better than snapdragon 3(1.5 Ghz)
Just google search for it
You will get 1.5 ghz(weaker one with less dev) on at&t
From t-mob you will get epic touch 4g(same as international in hardware but different buttons and different section)
So its better to buy i9100 international unlocked sgs2 if you care about development
Dont buy it noww..
Wait for sme rtme and get the Samsung galaxy S3....
SGS2 is now a year old...

More horsepower doesn't mean that a car is faster. (Nissan GT-R anyone?)
Just the same thing with cameras and megapixels.

[Q] Will all samsung galaxy s III have quad-core processor all over the world?

can any one please tell me will samsung galaxy s III have a quad core processor? will all the versions will be international version? I live in India & I've decided to buy it. but this thought is disturbing me will s III have a quad core processor or not? please help me as soon as possible. please
International version is quad core. No confusion here.

I think only the US versions will be dual core. The rest will be quad.

There has been no official word on the dual core version the only reason there is some speculation was because something a Samsung executive said when he should not have and a device profile for Verizon.
Now don't get me wrong here I still thing the US LTE versions are going to have the S4 chipset but I am going to keep my hopes up and pray to god we don't get an HTC One X clone(Hardware Wise)

Do what everyone else has done, read the reviews and posts, they will answer 99% of all "will it......" questions.
Don't mean to pick on you and I will say I am sorry if that's how I come off but the sections are really getting cluttered with some useless questions. I enjoy reading all the reviews and watching the videos of people who already have them in their hands. It's very informative.
can any one can make me understand that why samsung will use a dual core processor instead of a quad core processor for LTE?

The S4 has a built-in LTE modem, Samsung has not yet made their own SoC with a LTE modem in it.
Basically they would have to make room for a LTE chip, and instead of doing that they simply opt for the S4 with the built-in LTE modem.

Because the hardware for lte isn't currently comparable with the quad core.

thanks too all of you to make me understand what I've asked.
samsung has promised to give LTE service in some selected countries. but one of you has said that LTE is not capable with the hardware of s III. then how it'll be possible to give LTE service? can you please make me understand?

By changing the hardware to make it work with LTE.

The change is processors. The US versions have a dual core processor so they can support LTE. Any other version with LTE will also only have a dual core processor.

I think we need a thread that compare dualcore A15 vs quacore A9 once a for all so people can stop complaining that they didn't get a quadcore.

i9300 or not?

This might be a silly question but are all the gt-i9300 quad core? I ask because I have seen people on eBay posting supposedly i9300 and on the description it says dual core

The international version has quad-core processor (Samsung exynos 4) and the US variants have dual core processors (the Qualcomm snapdragon s4)
I guess whoever posted those spce doesn't know the difference between I9300 and US variants

A german thread says:

[Q] If two phones have the same SOC is porting ROMS between them easier?

Suppose two phones... eg:- Huawei Ascend Y300 and HTC One X both of which have the SOC Qualcomm S4 play MSM8225.
Now my question is because they have the same SOC's is it easier to port ROMS between the two?

Well you can only port roms between phones with the same SoC...
And only if both have the same Android OS version...
I dont know those models, but check the guides here @ XDA How to port roms.

Thanx il check that out... one more quick question..does it matter if they are from different manufacturers? for example one is from sony and the other is from samsung? but they both have the same soc
