jelly bean update for s3, is it worth - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have flashed 3 jb roms all have lags n bugs and ended up formatting my card and titanium backup,my question is that only perfet roms shoud be allowed on s3 as its not any ordinary phone,its worlds best and it ...ks when in a rom camera fc games fc etc.swiched back to hi rom.

Firstly the ROM didn't wipe your sdcard, you did.
Secondly I have been running the second leaked JB ROM since it dropped yesterday morning and I have no problems whatsoever with it.
Finally, this is xda developers, not xda-fully stock, completely finished ROMs service, you are looking for samfirmware.com.
Edit: a little addendum, why the hell did you post this in q&a?
Where's the damn question??

The JB Update is still Test but the features and general running of the ROM are FAR better than ICS! there are still bugs as its not an official release (wait until next week for official) but to be honest the bugs are not too serious!! Id say get over to Omega ROM and try V15 when its released today you will not be disappointed!

Please read the sign on the top of the page XDA Developers forum .
No rom is perfect and if you want no risk then do not ever use stuff from XDA sticking to official stock firmware .
But note when you finally leave school you may have enough knowledge to come back to XDA .

Upgrading to an ICS rom!

Hey i want upgrade from my GB rom to ICS, but whenever i try to Flash an ICS ROM after a full clean wipe, i get alot of crashes! so i revert back to GB! is there something iam missing here? do i need to take an extra precaution before installing the ICS rom?
Mate, its still in alpha stage, not even beta. It's being careless on your behalf for not using search function. You would have known this. Come back April for a stable ICS release.

Probably forgot to wipe. It's the no.1 source of FCs after installing a rOM.

Hundreds of people have shifted to ICS, and you can see developers claiming their ROM's to be stable! thats why i chose to make a move towards ICS when the developers have released about 8 iterations of their original ROM!

Trust me, i factory wipe it twice before flashing a new ROM, that cant be an issue! and if you read the OP, my mobile is crashing, iam not getting any FC's but instead, the mobile gets stuck!
I have had my mobile turning itself off very often since I started "testing" ICS roms. I now have Westcrips 8.4 which is supposed to be one of the best ones and it turned itself off today
I think it might be because it's so cold here ATM (-24c)
I am using ics one month ago and i dont have so much force closes. Currently i use resurrection 8.4 and not bad. My advise is to wipe first data. After cache and after dalvic. Then install room and then it should work. Remeber this rooms are for modwl gt-i9100
You should factory wipe AFTER installing the new rom dude.

GingerBread.
For many "upgrading" will be a lateral shift with possible signs of regression peppered with moments of brilliance (if I die tomorrow please engrave preceding quote on my grave stone). For others it's the best thing since some genius decided to cut bread before selling it. For yet others, they'll think that it's as good of an idea of swallowing thumb tacks.
That said, I'm on CM9 (01292012 build) and have been on CM9 since late December. Gingerbread no longer stands a chance, and as usual no Samsung thank you very much.

It's great to read this, inthe future with this situations follow the advice of chr15j it's good to!
i did a few ICS roms as well but went back to GB, am now on >> PhonandroidRom v1.0- Siyah Kernel -Based MIUI. Pretty stable for me...
this is completely unrelated and i'm an absolute nooblet but I just need a quick answer. I have this rom on my phone but I want to unroot and go back to stock. Am I right in thinking I can just flash a stock samsung gingerbread rom onto the device just using odin and it will unroot it and be fine? Just want to check before I steam ahead and because this is an ICS rom.
Thanks guys.

Yes, you may need to go back to a suitable kernel also. Using Odin should be very easy.
hello
I tried all the roms remis since 8.5
i find remix 9.4 verry good .the main problem is about chainfire kernel which has to be more developped
for ICS roms, I don't find kernels like Siyah or nymphetamine which are good with GB
now we must wait a new version of XXLPH rom
I tried yesterday Remix 9.5 but too much bugs with CWM and I went back to R 9.4
I tried others roms than Remix (omega,Criskelo,CM9,Foxhound) ,I found Foxhound 0.3 good but still more buggy than R9.4 ( cannot synchronize contacts with outlook)
br46
SGS2 with remix 9.4
Well, not only the chainfire kernel has to be more developed, but also all the custom ones...
i especially miss a perfect working siyah and neak one on ics!
hoping the devs are on it already! ^^
Try :Resurrection Remix ics v1.0, it should be out any moment now.....

[Q] Root and custom rom for S5830

Alright this is my first post here..
I am a complete newbie as far android rooting and custom rom installation is concerned. I have been using Samsung galaxy ace's stock installation unrooted phone for about 6 months...after installing a few apps the phone has become sluggish..and battery drains out more quickly I can do a factory reset
but its not practical reinstalling apps again and again . I figured out custom rom is the way to go to unlock the potential of the phone but the chances of bricking my phone has stopped from taking the plunge.
I haven't yet found a recent how to root and install custom rom post for the galaxy ace S5830 ,the ones that are available are 8 -9 months old I believe a lot has changed since then
My current rom is gingerbread DDKQ6
In short this is what I want
1) Back-up the entire factory os( ie samsung touchwiz etc)..incase I screw up I can always go back.
2) root the phone
3) Install a stable and secure rom gingerbread or ics (even better) which is fast and doesn't lag after installing a few apps. without sacrificing any original features of the phone apart from touchwiz
4) a rom which has all google apps running (gmail,android market,placess,navigation ,search,youtube etc).. i noted the current ics roms for galaxy ace don't have the camera working.
Pls help.

Flash cwm5 from stock recovery. Backup your rom then look in android development

Chances of bricking is very less. You can read the stickies in development section. All info given there. Nothing much has changed. So you can use the old posts without worry.
as you new better start with a stock custom Rom . try stocklite 6 or adrenaline Rom. you Will know what you were missing.

For flashing a rom, ALWAYS delete Dalvic cache, cache and factory reset. Remember those 3 and you can flash any rom you want. Delete these before installing the rom, then flash.
Some roms don't require you to delete one of those, but always do just for safety measures and to avoid future problems.
How do i update superuser app?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
As other users told you you can follow other guides about galaxy ace (even 11 month old, not so much have changed (for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145).
Just two advices if it's your firs experience with ROMs and root (that I learned here, and "save" my smartphone til now! )
1) To avoid lag and memory limits you should try link2sd or a2sd when yo'ull root (google for them)
2) NEVER use ROM Manager (or the CWM apk pre-installed in some ROMs) to backup your phone/intall ROMs/MOD/etc (NEVER USE IT!) because it'll brick your Ace!
Hope have helped you... Good Luck

So i`ll assume that you already rooted ok?
Download Clockworkmod recovery from dev section
Install it by going to recovery-apply update then choose the sip file
Reboot
Download AOSP rom
put in SD
reboot to recovery
wipe everything
install zip from SD
choose AOSP rom ok?
but AOKP is still under beta so I don`t really recommend it
Its all on www.google.com or just use your brain to click the stickies please....

no i havnt rooted the phone.. but i have read somewhere that it is must to root phone before installing custom rom.. so looking forward the app and method to root my device
another thing is i want take up my stock rom too.. i may shift to stock ROM if i m unable to handle custom..
so the backup of the stock ROM is to be taken before rooting orr after rooting?
Back up with cwm after rooting and after installing cwm. Still, the best way to return to stock is Samfirmware and flashing through Odin (u need a PC and the ace's controllers).
It's all in the forums, just don't rush to flashing stuff without an exit plan.

Hello XDA Elites!!
I have been a silent admirer of XDA from past one year. This Forum has helped me a lot and taught me few things about Android devices. I have been using Galaxy S2 from past 10 months or so. But now i ve sold it and bought S3. I am quiet familiar with Kernels, Roms, Mods, Root-unroot, Odin, CWM etc..
I want to know which is the most stable and reliable Jelly Bean Rom? Be it Custom Rom or Official leaked Rom. ( i am not saying perfect coz i know these r not final releases and are just leaks). I am asking this question because i read almost 30-40 pages of Faryab's Jelly Bean Rom thread and 10-20 pages of Revolution HD, CheckRom and WanamLite Rom And i also tried searching threads with my question But i did not find clear cut answer to my Question.
JellyBean Roms i ve tried so Far : Revolution HD 9.5. i wiped everything data/cache/dalvik. and also run Rom cleaner. But this rom was too laagy for me. Keyboard was not working neither default nor smart keyboard pro. nd dialer was also v laggy. So i didnot try any Rom again. I have limited Bandwidth and Speed. I have a holiday tomorrow and have spare 2-3 hours.
Please suggest me a Jelly Bean Rom which i can Flash be it Custom or Leaked Official ( i cant flash again for a month or so). Right now i am on WanamLite XXBLG9 v2.2

Like the guy above me, they're not allowed, these types of thread (I think..)..
But I'll help you.
At best, you get a JB ROM with AROMA installer, which is based on SAMMY firmware code..
That way you'll get an ANDROID device, which will REVOLUTIONize your life! Not to mention, I love games in HD
Hope I could help!!
best ROM thread will be ignored ~

You don't, you have to ask a mod..
Closed, it states in the "READ FIRST" sticky that these threads are unwelcome, as there really is no such thing as a "best" rom of any kind.

You can try the new AOKP build. Vibrantmtd is once supported again instructions for installing the rom are listed in the thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208126.
As far as GPS is concerned it is either a hit or miss...might work or it might not. Unfortunately I am not able to test it since my vibrant is bricked
But I can tell you that AOKP is an excellent rom I been using it for nearly a year now since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. It is far much better than ICS passion in every aspect. Never had any problems with it.
As for the kernel I can't really say which one I would recommend since I honestly can't ever recall flashing a kernel for my vibrant...I've always used the kernels that are included in the ROM(S).
Just remember to backup your apps...because you will lose them in the process since this is not an update...it is more of an upgrade(4.0.3 to 4.2.2).
Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions.

The ROM will update you straight to 4.2.2. I don't think you need to be on 4.1 to update or any other version for that matter. Just flash the ROM through recovery and you should be good to go. Good luck.
