hey ppl.. new to the s3 i9300 uk
ok so im rooted etc.. played with a few roms... and found this.
http://www.trickytweaks.com/update-...-jelly-bean-xxdlib-custom-insertcoin-rom.html
so it says in there i must have xxdlib 4.1.1 to install.. so then i found this.
http://www.trickytweaks.com/update-...-jelly-bean-xxdlib-custom-insertcoin-rom.html
its just worried me that at the end of the article it mentions only for nexus models... what does that mean?...
i thought a nexus was a nexus and s3 i9300 was (you get what im sayin) lol
also im just looking for roms that are jelly bean with google and motion..
are there any...
I think the "only for Nexus" thing might be a mistake, the author might have copied that from some other page he made about a Nexus and forgot to change Nexus to i9300... But am not sure about that.
The main thing is first you need to be sure your phone is an i9300 and no kind of variant. Check that by going to settings and then to about device.
EDIT: Is it a T-Mobile SGS III you have? I think that particular phone has its own forums, as they are different from i9300 somehow.
If it is an i9300 you are holding, the ROMs in the Development section of these i9300 forums are all OK for you to try, including the InsertCoin that you will find there. If you flash i9300 ROMs on something other than an i9300, you are in big trouble.
I also think it's a good idea in general to download ROMs via their respective XDA threads and not via random articles on other webpages.

In the ROM description threads you can usually find info about what's included in the ROM. Not sure what you mean by "with google", but the motion thing is in many ROMs, including the JB CheckRom 5.5 that I'm using myself. I just turn all motion off because I hate it, but I know it is in the ROM for sure.

Hi, I am opening this sub-forum for N7005 variant as its a closer relative to I717 than the international N7000 note.
So far, as read and tried from other earlier posts, I managed to root, flash CWM, flash TWRP and flashing of various roms from this I717 Forum without any issue, yet. No changing of modems. So far, no issue with basebands so 4g still works great.
Roms I have tried, the original Paranoid Android and the Cookies & Cream. Both are great roms.
Hope that the Mod dun close me down on here.
Cheers!

Are you trying to say that you had use the same firmware to root your lte note using i717?
yup..
Followed this method.. TWRP same as I717.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-i717-roms/how-to-root-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
Original thread that I read was from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876490&page=2
This is a good thread. I have been trying to find the N7005 all over google and got very a little and mostly, 'irrelevant' results. I believe the note LTE might be a different from the N7000.
Would also like to know if you already have successfully installed the I717 custom ROM on your N7005?
Yes.
I am starting to believe ours have the exact same hardware as I717. It just carry a different model no because of the different baseband.
I have tried ( and successfully flashed ) the original Panaroid Android, the Cookies & Cream, Unofficial CM10 and Liquid Jelly. and also a kernel ( cant remember the name..) All worked well apart from issues with the standard bugs from the current developement of Jellybean. Just be careful not to touch the modem.
There is one little problem though.. I cant really find a convienent way for ours to flash back to stock or remove root if I ever need to send back for official servicing. The only solutions on the web suggest flashing US Carriers specific roms , which does not apply for us.
Well actually, there is a way to go back to official stock.. 2 day ago there was a minor update from samsung. so I flashed and it remove the root. And my firmware now read, Official Samsung.
I haven tried flashing again as I felt that though all the developers are working very very hard for JB and I do really appreciate the efforts , imo its not that stable yet.
Its pretty safe, I tried and they worked. BUT, PLS DO A BACKUP OF YOUR STOCK ROM!! Need any more info, I can share.
Disclamer: I will not be responsible for any kind of damage, bricked or blow ups...
And, U have to understand that if things goes wrong during flashing or any weird errors appears later, the developers are not oblige/not able to help as the I717 stuffs just " happen to work " on our device.

I'm currently still stuck with my SGS, looking at N7005 when my contract expires. You said don't touch the modem, why is that the case? From my understanding you can just flash the baseband back on my SGS, is there an issue if you flash another modem on the N7005? Region issue?
The SGS have great international and local support. Any resources are readily available.
I717 is pretty much confined to the US. Their modems are specific to their baseband's bandwidth. There is no such modem in our region that u can safely flash that is guaranteed to work with our carrier. I know HK they have a forum for N7005 but its all in chinese. I am not too good in that. And, I dun see any real needs to flash the modem as well.
BTW, for local users that have a habit of flashing roms, I wouldnt recommend this model at all. The device is great but zero local support. I have even checked with Official Samsung Singapore and they dun even know if N7005 is getting JB but Original Note N7000 will be and the Note 2 will launch with JB. Go for more sensible options my brother...
I bought this purely because it was cheaper that time. And I traded in my nexus so this phone was basically free.. Then later I realise I will have the flashing "issues"..

I did look at the original note and S3, but what I wanted was larger display and I have a budget so I might not consider Note 2. I wanted to get LTE Note since it supports LTE and it would be a waste if we didn't make use of that.
I did see on starhub website that it states it is upgradeable to JB, but their website is always providing inaccurate information. Thanks for the recommendation, might reconsider. :good:

Can I have the link, please?
The 4g would come in handy for sure. I actually turned that off coz its eating my battery like theres no tmr..
Regards the HK forum, I dun have the link anymore.. ask Google my friend..
I realised the information on our local telco (Starhub) said processor is 1.4 Ghz, but the SHG-I717 is a 1.5 Ghz Scorpion.
Also the firmware stated on Samsung website says it should be ICS instead of GB, where Starhub says its GB and upgradable to JB?
So which is correct??
Look elsewhere for information. Believe the opposite of starhub. The specs they listed belongs to the international note N7000.
Hi dude, can u please show how u did to sucessfully to flash this stock roms to pandroid rom.. thank you in advance

I have been keeping a eye out for 4.2 roms for my international S3, and was curious as to why there still did not seem to be any. Upon researching I read the international version is missing some crucial components in software that make it incompatible with 4.2.
Is this the case?
Good news for you - there is a bunch of 4.2 ROMs for the i9300.
Bad news - you are really bad at searching
First there are a few 4.2 ROMs, look at supernexus 2.0, slimbean and CM 10.1 at least.
Also if we are missing software components they can always be updated.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
u can use CyanogenMod 10.1. Ur device not on their website list, but u can download it at CM download page.
get.cm/?device=i9300
4.2 Rom is still nightlybuild. If interested in every build changelog, u can look here
changelog.bbqdroid.org/#i9300/cm10.1/next
Cant post outsite link. Need to copy and paste it. Sorry. New user account

100% correct as you are never going to be able to find the 4.2 rom .

Hi all,
A few newbie queries, if anyone will indulge me please?
I've just got an S3 international verison, having had various Nexus's and HTCs in the past, which I've rooted & used custom roms on. I got this s3, rooted it, then started looking for roms, but i'm a bit lost. It's tricky when you're new to a model of phone and have to re-learn the root nuances.
One of the apps I need is ARLibertator (for pionieer's appradio) which doesn't play nice with any ASOP roms, so I presume I'm going to be stuck with stock.
So far, I've rooted, but haven't updated from mb5>mg4. I've backed up the factory state with a clockwork mod backup and i've done a dump of the EFS using K tool.
Can I update from mb5 > mg4 without any issue using KIES, or do I need to be careful about the change it makes to the EFS?
Also, if i decide not to bother trying to use ARLiberator, am I good to try Cyanogen or similar now, or have I missed any steps or done the wrong thing?
There are stock based custom roms .
Kies will remove root .
Thanks - when you say 'remove' - perfectly safe to re-root the same way again after the update?
Also, what terminology would I need to search for for Roms based on stock - something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334
Thanks for the help - really appreciate it.

Mostly Samsung based roms but not all of them

Yep as jje linked "android development" is mainly samsung based roms where as aosp are mainly in "original android development" as they're original, not reworks if existing work.
There are some aosp roms in "android development" as they are unofficial cm builds for example.
Samsung rom threads usually have the samsung build number in the thread title, eg XXEMG4

Hey guys
I am using this ROM on my S2 (Intl.) and yeah it has some bugs, but thats okay, but today i saw in the CM download section that there is CM11 available for the S2, butonly for the T-Mobile version.
So my question is, whether I can flash the T-Mobile version or if that would brick my phone. And if I can't, can I flash ROMs from the Note 2 for example? I have one S2 in use and one only for testing ROMs, so i could copy a stable S2 ROM on my sd and then copy the CM11 T-Mobile, too. Then I'll flash the T-Mobile ROM and if that wouldn't work i can boot in recovery, clear all data and flash the stable version? Or is thisimpossible and I am just a silly dude?
thanks for answering
Merry Christmas!
Do not flash non-I9100 firmware on the I9100, yes, there's a fair chance you'll brick your phone if you do.
I suggest you learn 'the basics' given your question (read the guides/tutorials stickied in the General section for starters), 'messing' with your phone in any way (particularly if it involves flashing, even with CWM) is risky without knowing them.
no no I know the basics including that you should not flash not appropriate firmwares, it was just a question, but okay, I understood, so I#ll keep waiting until an official version of CM11 for the normal S2 will be uploaded

Exactly. I know it seems a madness that the Galaxy S2 has not yet been updated (it is enough to think that the Galaxy S already has the CM11), but more of install the CM11 not journal cannot we do.
P. S: Merry Christmas
Hello everyone.
I have an international version of S3 (I9300) and it works pretty well (the only thing that annoys me is that sometimes when i swipe left or right, the background of pages when on middle is some random, usually non-transparent image, but i just reboot it and it's fine), but i really like android kitkat and would like to install it on my I9300. I searched through various web sites and videos (also here on some threads) and i saw a lot of ROMs for "S3 kitkat" and i can't decide on my own which one is the best. If anyone could help me choose the best S3 kitkat ROM i would be veryveryvery thankful!
PS the first one i saw is cyanogen mod and i think that that one is probably the one i should install, but it's just an idea (aaand when i say the best ROM, i mean the one that could give me the most and the best of my I9300 (pretty obvious i think, but oh well...)) also i saw on sammobile.com an article about South Korean version S3 getting kitkat and when i saw one of comments it gave me some hope for not needing any custom ROM (i would probably be the happiest person if they would relase an official kitkat for I9300 or if it would be possible to take kitkat for some other S3 versions and install on I9300) and the comments go like this:

(i'm not that much into ROM stuff and had never installed any custom ROMs, just rooted, unrooted and did binary counter reset once, so please forgive me if i said something stupid or nonesense)
It's no nonsense, but a version of 'what's the best rom', which is against the rules (avoiding endless threads about personal preferences).
Choose the roms with the most and actual posts here, read them and decide. All of them, AOSP- or TW-based, will have some minor bugs. Test it and enjoy.
