Right Direction
Getting the best experience from your S3. That depends on what you are into? Music, gaming, development, video. If you give us an idea of what you are into, then we can steer you into the right direction.

Look under the sticky threads in Q&A and you should have posted there...
Rooting your phone means that you have full access and control to root of your phone..
You probably won't need it and probably if you are not aware of it can cause risk with no reasons. It's full of thread of bricked phone..
What I mean is that, Rooting process is easy, if you read post as suggested by other users in this thread, but if you are happy with your phone and do not feel any specific need to be solved with root do not do it.
One day you will find an app or a specific thing like "wow I love that modded Rom" which work only with rooting.. and so you will root your phone.
That's what happened to me 2 years ago and here in xda I found always all the answers to my issue!
Have fun with your android!

Rooting Samsung S111go allow easy UMS
Hi Guys
I understand the need to root, but have no idea where to begin.
Apparently i need to root my galaxy s3 in order to make use of the EASY UMS APP.
I cannot sync certain programmes that require mass storage.
This is now my 3rd post, but no one on XDA has replied. I am new to Android, having migrated from windows mobile.
I would really appreciate your feedback.

I had a similar problem.. Connected my Samsung S3 mobile to Samsung Kies installed on my Vista Laptop via the USB cable. On Kies Tools Menu, chose the Firmware upgrade and initialisation option.Took a backup of all data on the phone and proceeded with the upgrade process and it restored the phone back to its factory set options..problem resolved!

I wish I'd put it as he did. Having said that the stickys don't really get non programmers there (and maybe that's the idea). The above two links are not relevant to the sch I535. That was careless! NoobDroid is almost as bad with methods that don't work and Youtubes that frustrate.
I rooted a Droid no problem. The vzw are proving frustrating enough to make me change providers. I might go to SPRINT. I don't like vzw politics much anyway.

just flash latest cfroot with odin here's step by step guide for international galaxy s3 http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3/
No option to "disable recovery flash"
I just got my brand new Galaxy S3 will Jelly bean and followed the instructions on this site.
Everything went fine and until Step 4
Using the custom recovery flash I installed the clockwork mod from my external SD card.
However the instructions say:
"•Upon exiting your custom recovery to reboot first time, you will be asked if you want to "Disable recovery flash", you MUST select Yes"
The problem is that when I exit to reboot I do not get the option to "Disable recovery flash", The phone just reboots.
I assume the phone recovery flashes when it reboots. How can I tell?
What are my options to continue?

This is not the way to ask help dude , you can just search and get your stuff , and jelly bean 4.2 is not available yet 4.1.2 is available...
All the links are in my signature , just search rather than opening a thread like this

best gingerbread rom(Read first before dismissing it as a best rom thread)

Hey guys
Alright this is a best rom thread but please read why i created this topic.
Most of the GB rom topics are closed and i am not abel to find any info. The thing is that i bought my s2 preloaded with ICS and no idea whatsoever about gingerbread roms. I just wanted to install GB rom so i could play some old gameloft games that dont work on ICS and above OS.
So could any old user please recommend a nice , fast and stable (mainly for gaming) GB rom that i could use on my phone for sometime and play those games lol(im really bored)
thanks

There is no "buts" about it and your reason for creating topic is irrelevant and you obviously haven't even bothered to read the sticky topic about WHY these topics are not allowed.
We're not here to spoon feed you and "best" is 100% subjective and these topics just lead to opinions which you can make yourself BY INSTALLING AND TRYING THEM YOURSELF!!!

[Q] Best original updated rom?

Hey guys,
Got the Samsung galaxy Ace s5830i, just come outta the box, and discovered its got some old 2.x version of gingerbread
Time to Flash a new rom i think!
Just quickly looked through the ROM's but there are loads of them.... so heres a question:
What rom is most like 4.2 Andriod Jelly Bean? I'm looking to make my phone as much like the ROM on the samsung galaxy sIII.
il be happy to hear any opinions on whats the best ROM, which looks and feels like the jelly bean 4.2 rom on the s3? (can you post links if u mention a rom please, so i can decide what to flash !)
Thanks

There's no such thing as best rom. Read Rules before you post. Browse though the development section and see which rom suits you more

Don't be lazy and test roms by yourself, like everyone else. No one knows you and what you needs, so it might be hard for us to guess what is the best rom for you. So, please do not create threads like this and do this type of question further. There are plenty of roms in the style you said.
Thanks for the understanding,
