Hey Guys,
Been wrestling around today with some roms.
I liked the Cyanogenmod10 but it just misses the subtle touch with the stock.
So i like to revert it back to the standard firmware
Android version 4.1.1
Smalbandversion i9300BOLH2
Mod : Cyanogenmod10 Nightly
Ive been searching around for stock roms. But im kinda new to the scenery of the S3, ( Flashed and devved loads of hardware in the past years )
Questions that make me freak out is "What rom can i use, im using a T-Mobile carrier, but the mobile sim lock free, do i need a tmobile rom? or can i just use a non branded stock one? ( since i want the terrible splash screen gone ) )
Im looking forward to your responses
Greetings Web !

Greetings all..
I just bought a SAM Ace.. i had a Htc Magic then a X10 mini and now i turned to SAM.. heard that it was a good machine.. so..
I've been using XDA to root, and install new roms to my previous phones..
But in this SAM, unfortunately i am a bit conserned.. So can any1 help me in this questions:
: I'm running Ginger 2.2.3 updated throug Kies
1 - My mobile is sim locked.. i can't use any other sim.. I already searched that is possible to (root) the phone and then install an apk that unlocks the sim lock.. has any1 tried this? is it safe?
2 - I'm a bit worried to (root) this phone, does any1 report any problem after with network, battery and general stability of the device?
3 - Is the best stable official rom at the moment the one i have now or is there a better one ? Though Kies i can't find the 2.2.4v u guys are talking about.. so .. This isn't really an official rom right?
4- Since i've got my phone from Vodafone, it has some operator aps that i don't really use and they are using needed space, is there a way to remove them somehow.. like.. instaling a official rom from elsewere, but still upgradable through Kies? Or do i really need to (root) the device? After rooted, can i still install a official 2.2.3 rom.. but.. without all the operator crap?
5 - There are a few custom roms as i can see, i used to use de Cyanogen in my X10 mini, but i had some issues with sending and receiving mms.. , at the moment.. is there any stable and fully operational roms ? including the mms solved problems..? cof cof.. and good battey usage time ?
6 - Sorry for any bad english.
Thank you !!
Welcome to the community!
For question 4,I have used 2.2.1 and 2.3.4.felt ok except the wifi died occasionally which was a documented problem.
For question 5,I am currently on cyanogen but its a rc version.I am quite happy with it as performance boosted.but it came at the price of battery life.haven't tried mms though

Try to use cyanogen for the rom.

1. No idea although I don't see why it wouldn't be safe.
2. Rooting is easy. Like everything else, be careful and follow instructions to the T and you'll have no problems.
3. Correct. There is no 2.3.4 update through Kies...I think. Plug your phone in and find out.
4. If you want to remove bloatware, root your device and use Root Unistaller. Alternatively, flash a new ROM.
5. There are two variants of CM7.1 at the moment. One was made by BehradGH the other by Grif_07. Both work wonderfully.
6. It wasn't that bad =]

1.
You should really be cautious when trying to unlock your phone. A lot of people bricked their phone by doing this. Since I have no personal experience in this; all I can do is direct you to threads on XDA but I'm too lazy to look them up for you so I suggest you to use "search".
Thanks to those who answered..

I am using Icecream Sunday by Jusada. It's an ICS themed CM7.1 ROM but it has been stripped down to the bear minimum. Jusada initially made it as a foundation ROM for developers to then customize as they saw fit but it has become very popular amongst forum members as a day-to-day ROM. It is very stable and more importantly (for me) it is FAST!
Also, because it has been stripped down, I have noticed a lot better battery time.
Granted, the battery life on almost all Android phones is crap, but if you're looking to be more conservative with power and increased speed, use Icecream Sunday.
So to answer your question - I get about half a day's SOLID use from my battery.
As far as MMS goes, I am not sure. You'd have to ask one of the devs.
Hope that's helped

Welcome to XDA!
1) It can be quite tricky to unlock the Ace, and can brick/reset it. First check if it really is locked.
2) There's risk involved in rooting, but it's minimal - if you follow the instructions. There are pros and cons of rooting, but the pros outweigh the cons.
3) Kies sucks IMO, so you're better off upgrading with ODIN. Look in this section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1167.
4) The best way to remove the bloatware/crapware is by rooting and then uninstalling them, or by flashing a custom ROM.
5) There are a lot of stable ROMs available, take your pick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194358, there's supposed to be an official Cyanogen for Ace(cooper) in the works, but if you can't wait that long, I recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292
Also have a look at some useful info:

Hi Guys
I have been out of the Dell Streak Sceen for a while so wonder if you guys can help me out. I have a DS 5 bought UK version, running 2.2.2 with dj steves room 2.6.32.9, I flashed to this rom a long time ago but never really got on with it. GPS not working etc and I gave up using he phone.
Recently I had to use it again as my work phone is broken. I would like to give it a update.
So I would like to know what is currently the stablest ROM? If not i will go back to Stock O2.
Maybe just some hints and guides in what i should do to flash it back as I am so out of it now. It is still on DJ Steves old old rom.
many thanks

CM7.2.0 is the one ive been using for a long while now... its the most stable imo
DSC is another excellent choice.
P.S. Next time, post in the correct forum. Questions like this do not belong in the development forum.
I have Straight Talk,
4.0.4
kernel 3.0.8
build
IMM76D.UCLF6
I also have SU and CM 5.5
Wondering what Rom will give me the best performance (battery a life +) , do I need to have a different kernel to upgrade to JB? What about a different BL , it was a royal time waster upgrading my Acer A500 from GB to ICS , Does it even matter being on Straight Talk , I mean just the ATT roms work fine , but I like to experiment , I dont want to go hog wild because this is the only fone I got right now and I need it , but a custom rom is always better!
Can you guys tell me about the kernels to roms and if I stay with a stock kernel can use what roms (I mean with 4.0.4 this ICS ,how do I go about JB?) i KNOW i FEEL LIKE A NOOB HERE, but its different ,plus Ive been doing winfone 7 for 2 years , just got to get back into it!
Hello friends.
I am new to this wonderful community and very happy to be a part of it.
I am facing a very strange problem. I am trying to update my WT9i Live with walkman from Gingerbread to Ice cream sandwich. Problem is .. whenever I flash an ICS rom my touch doesn't work !! Everything else works fine (physical keys / network / audio). Then if I install GB rom again it works flawlessly.
I have unlocked bootloader.
I am using Flashtool to flash stock roms.
* WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.58_(1254-1868).ftf = works
* WT19i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1254-1889).ftf = works
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.ftf = touch doesn't respond
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic.ftf = touch doesn't respond
* WT19i_4.1.B.0.587_CUSTOMIZED CE3 WORLD I 1254-1889.ftf = touch doesn't respond
I have no idea what could be the reason. Any GB roms works smoothly. Any ICS roms bricks the touch screen. I have tried custom kernel (mesa .. kappa) and many custom ICS rom .. same problem. But at any moment I flash GB rom .. everything works.
I did all the research I could (for last 4 days) and read many threads .. tried many things. Nothing helped.
Please help me! Please Please Please.
I have seen many threads with problem "touch does't work because of flashing wrong rom or kernel".
I don't think that's my case. Because whenever I flash a stock GB rom .. it works just fine. Problem happens with ICS roms .. custom or stock.
I am going to try some custom GB rom with custom kernel. I'll post if that works.
This thread is most likely my last hope of finding a solution .. please help!
Just out of curiosity downloaded the 587 ICS generic rom from flasstool website then flashes it .. same touch problem.
Now downloading latest Nightly CM10 coconut. I'll try it. CM 9.1 stable did not worked .. same touch problem.
Please Help ! I dont see a clue ! Why ICS roms would freeze my touch when everything else works? I am on the verge of throwing my phone out of window !!!
Latest CM10 Nightly build = same problem .. touch screen is not working.
Flashed Stock GB = everything is fine !
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Now I am downloading every regional roms of stock ICS .. its all I can think of.
I know its a very old phone and update / development for it completely stopped. Its forgotten. Still I love this little cute handset and I would love to get ICS on it (for app support .. many app do not work on GB .. like google chrome).
So please help !
Hello there!
Quick question: has your LWW ever been repaired? Like, had it's touch digitizer replaced or manipulated in any way?
I know some replacement parts can conflict with non-stock (or "comes-out-of-the-box" to be precise) software. I bought a replacement display for my Mini Pro and it would just freeze on CM10.1 but worked (kinda) on stock ICS.
And yeah, it's and old phone, but a good one. Development for it and it's 2011 brothers has clearly slowed down but has absolutely not stopped

Hello. Thank you for replying. Its a second hand phone .. my brother purchased it from a friend then gave it to me. So it may have a replaced display or digitizer. I just checked with my brother and he said his friend never repaired the phone.
So GB and ICS use different digitizer drivers? Is it possible to use GB touch drivers with ICS?
No idea. Your problem is truly rare haha.
I'm out of ideas here, most of the time flashing a stock ftf does the trick, but not here.
if I were you, i'd sell that phone to someone who woulndn't care about software updates hehe.
Hello Friends.
I am posting this in case someone else face the same problem and find this thread. In my opinion ..this is a very rare and strange problem.
This problem should never happen with an original handset.
If your touch only works with Gingerbread stock roms and even after complete wipe other stock roms freeze your touch .. then you can be sure that your touch was replaced with a cheap one. Go to a servicing center and replace it with a good touch or sell the phone to someone else who doesn't care about updates.
I went to a servicing center today and replaced my touch. Now it works smoothly with stock ICS rom. I am sure it will work with CM too. It costed me around 25$.
1 tip to recognize low quality touch. Low quality touch will not have transparent bottom-left and bottom-right button. You wont be able to see the key lights through it. Good quality touch will have transparent button. Another warning .. after market touch is most probably not scratch resistant like the original touch .. so you may want to use a good screen protector (plastic film) on it.
This is not only for WT19i. Whenever you buy a secondhand set .. make sure its touch wasn't replaced and best to check if its upgraded and working properly.
Thanks to "Pixelado" for hinting me about the replaced touch issue. Then it made sense to me .. there was no other logical reason for the stock rom not working.
I am very happy with my upgraded ICS But kinda sad about the money loss ! Anyway loss is loss. This is a good handset and I hope it will serve me good. Now looking for a way to root it.
i'm always more than glad to help
Now, on the rooting issue, I strongly recommend unlocking your bootloader and flashing a pre-rooted kernel. Why, you ask? Well, you'll find out eventually
Custom kernels often pack a bunch of optimizations and the ability to overclock. I strongly recommend Rage kernel for stock ICS. Once you flash it, i'll take care of rooting your phone on first boot. If you're not able to unlock your bootloader/don't feel comfortable flashing kernels, rooting by exploits is your only choice.
By the way, I strongly suggest giving LegacyXperia CM10.1 a try. Its awesome

Thanks a lot Pixelado. I have unlocked bootloader and using mesa kernel 4.8. Would Rage 3.2 would be better than Mesa?
I'll try LegacyXperia CM10.1 .. appreciate the recommendation.
I've never tried mesa, so no comment there. Quie frankly, rage 3.2 seemed to be all i ever needed when using a stock rom. I tried lupus, but stopped using it when they switched from CWM to TWRP.

i have same problem too
can u solve this problem?
Hello guys, i was searching for a custom rom for our old device but nothing. So our phone is getting older and lot of app lose their compatibility with marshmallow. And now i feel 6.0 is ugly even with the evie launcher.. That emoji you can't change, sense home really eating the battery. I would like to see someone work on a newer version without sense home & newer version even if it is a 7.0. I know its taking time and knowledge,i tried to make one rom but it says my rom can't be installed because it isn't a56uhl so i deleted all and rage quit lol. So if someone can do something for our phone it can be cool. Thank you in advance. We got twrp so we need a rom ?
Ps : Sorry for my poor english.
