You can always go for a custom ROM!! In my opinion, using a custom ROM is much awesome than stock. Try something like omega and all. It has huge support!! It is already having the latest firmware. So u dint have to worry about the update.

I'm getting one of those tomorrow and I want to root it and upgrade it to ICS. it comes with gingerbread, so I want to know what kernel and rom I can use to make it ICS( as vanilla as possible no TW plz) without loosing my base band modem, my 4g net ect. Just wana keep it as stock as possible feature wise but sporting ICS with root functionality. if that's not possible at least root on gingerbread with apex launcher.
Hit me up tomorrow when you get the phone I'll walk you through it!

Im rooted on stock gingerbread, got CWM recovery off market but im unable to get it to make a backup of my current OS, so i haven't progressed from here. I just want to be able to make a backup and download a ICS rom to flash that will work with Claro PR.
When i choose to make a backup it reboots and greets me with an error that says /cache/update.zip
and signature invalid error.
any help would be apreciated, havent installed any of my android aps cause i wana go ICS before I customize my phone.

I need a way to have a custom kernel so I can get CWM to work cause i keep getting the error which is preventing me to backup stock rom or install new one, but i cant find my kernel anywhere or the custom one for it
hey guys. I used XPlay a lot of. Now, what should I do to my S3. I want long battery life and good performance ( like all s3 users ^^ )
Which Roms, kernels should I use ? Or Should I use stock ? Aand, How can I unlock my bootloder ? ( What this action in Samsung development, s-off, or something like this ? )
Thanks and Hello to everyone !
unlike sony phone ... u just need to root ur samsung phone
theres nothing like unlocking bootloader thing to do in samsung
for best performance i will say u stay with default stock rom

You don't need to flash a kernel, just stick with the default and stock rom.
I used to have a Samsung Captivate and flashed the hell out of that phone just coz out of the box it was pretty crap but this phone is so great on stock that all I've done is root. Haven't even bothered putting CWM on it.
Oh, and hi also!

Oh its good. I think I just need root. And, I want AOSP look. Is there any theme like this ? ( I asked Kernel question because In Sony, custom kernels have better battery life than stock kernels. So this isn't right in this section. ? Right ? )
yeah i guess dark knight kernal is quite gud
so far devs are making kernals better and better , but its quite a bit time more needed
so fot now i can say cwm 5.5.0.4 v 1.5 by chain fire is best for you
and there roms for that or just go for go launcher it has themes for that looks

1. Not sure if its been updated... you could ask or check in the respective thread.
2. Official Nightlies just dropped for select devices.. check dev section.
3. Yes
4 Neither.. CM9 based on ICS, CM10 based on JB.. Both are awesome and JB is the newest shiz so... (and actually CM9 may have more features right now)
5. 99% of the time no. Unless you flash a ROM w/ Odin that does not have root or CWM. But- most, if not all, the custom ROMs you find here will have root and CWM. Just look at the ROM features before flashing!

Answer for 1. is YES it's compatible with CM10. Just look at the thread title of siyah kernel.

1. Yes siyah supports cm10. Says so in the title. Always read the change logs for important info
2. It's in beta sort of. They're releasing previews that are quite usable. I'm using it atm. Only annoying bug is the memory leak that can easily be solved by rebooting the phone. 3. Restore only app apks, not phone settings. Restore app data at your own risk.
4. Depends on if you're looking for stability. CM9 is stable but I like JB and I'm going to be sticking with CM10
5. No it doesn't. Flashing a stock rom with stock kernel will unroot it. Custom roms will not

Go to the Original Development section and get CM9 from there. Its good for you to navigate around the site and get comfortable where stuff is. In regards to the bootani, in my experience you change this by modifying /system/media/bootanimation.zip. You can try swapping the new bootanimation.zip with the old bootani.zip and see if that works. But I've never flashed a .zip to change the bootani.. but to be fair its been a long time since I've had any desire to change the bootanimation

Lol.. sorry. Like I said you need to get comfortable with this site and not just ask for links.. if you can't find em sure, but you need to try. You can do it two ways- on your PC: at the XDA home page you'll see 2 search boxes near the top and to the right. The box that says "find your device" ..type your phone in there and choose it when the option comes up. Then scroll down.. bam- OG Dev Forum! Or download the XDA app and find your device that way-
I hope you find it but I'm confident you will

He didnt say it was. Even so, the rom was "released" to testers, and "leaked" to public. Only final is released to public.

This to me seems that Ben101 says "Stock jelly bean is still not released", which krayndr then declares "False!"
I work in software; I differentiate between a leak and a release. "Released to testers" is not a release. We send many builds to testers before we have a release candidate.

Not sure why you're directing this question to me; is it because I said I work in software? That doesn't mean I work in developing software specifically for this device, or even for Samsung devices in general...
But if you're having issue with a leaked firmware, doesn't it make sense to go back to a released firmware?

I'm not sure if it's the leaked firm fault or something else. Sorry bothering you with my sh*t.
There's no STOCK FW at the moment. Just a leak for testing only. Just be patient.

but why we prefer GB > ICS > JB is that ur installation goes smooth without any issue and also rooting ICS is much easier (since lot of option's to do so) rather with GB.

Hi
First of all you need to root the phone. The best way to do that would be to flash cf-root compatible with your rom version. You can find exactly what your build is by checking settings > about phone
Find compatible cf-root kernel and put it in PDA in odin and flash... there are lot's of guides out there - won't be hard to find
Second, before you go further you need yoo updete your bootloader. So either flash ICS stock through odin (not recommended cause will unroot again) or flash bootloader through odin. Again there are proper guides for that...
Then you can upgrade to whatever you want...
Keep in mind that emmc cap bug does not exist in GB kernels. so you can use the CWM recovery in cf-root kernels for GB rather safely.
If you update to stock ICS then you need to keep an eye what kernel you're using to wipe data. Siyah and dorimanx are safe and I always use them.
Loads of roms out there, pure aosp, cm based, aokp based and the leaked sammy rom. Personally checked alot of each first three and also several versions of the leaked one... All good.
Word of edvice - do read more on those things. No matter how much expirience people who answer threads like that have, you'll never substitute your own knowledge and expirience.
Go on and root and enjoy the android world, mate. Best of luck
