I recently purchased the galaxy s3 and am quite happy with it, put adw launcher pro made a few tweaks got the jellybean update and am satisfied with everything it does.
My question is what is the need for flashing new Roms or rooting the device? What is the purpose and benefits?
I'm new to all of this and would love some briefing!

You would be better off asking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1708
This forum is for International Galaxy S3 I9300, not I535 Verizon. Anything you do from these forums can brick your device. Good luck and welcome aboard!
I appreciate the reply, I tried re posting this post on that thread but it said the forum is closed. Do not many have the samsung gs3 for Verizon?

Fact is advice or firmware from this forum may brick a phone that is not a I9300 .

What is the best rom to use on the galaxy note i717?
Thanks
That is personal preference. Everyone here has their favorite(s) but only you can decide what you like. Check out the development section and read what each rom is about. Then like they all say, read them again.
If you search the forums I think this topic is already floating around somewhere.

Im looking for the information for rooting it. ? Thanks in advance oh and i might as well ask what is the best 4.1.2 rom for this badboy... Thanks.

wrong section. This is development section. Q&A is the other way.
What's up guys, i just switched from an e4gt on sprint to a Note 2 on Verizon, and i got to looking, I'm on software Verizon 4.1.1 and when I go to software update my only option is to install deferred sw ? I plan on rooting this thing eventually so i didn't want to install it if it would create problems trying to root it later on down the road. Thanks in advance

That's to go to the L4 update which re-locks the bootloader. You can unlock both, but I'd recommend just rooting and unlocking it now because it'd be easier.
By the way, I came up from the E4GT as well Welcome brother!

Sorry an using xda app on my phone, didn't see pinned threads.

Well I took the update and unlocking and rooting took like 5 minutes or maybe less.
But I will say there were a LOT of people that had a LOT of problems unlocking and rooting.

I rooted and unlocked after the update. Whe and if you have rooted, i would check out the Paranoid Android 3.0 ROM.

Hi guys,
Firstly, let me offer my sincere thanks for the info. I have finally had the balls to root my S3 LTE to Liquid Smooth and it's amazing!
The ONLY thing that is slightly different, is that the main speaker is a lot quieter than the original OS. I've tried a few sound hacks but none seem to work on 4.2.2. Is there an easy and safe hack for this version of Liquid (2.9)?
Thanks.

Loads of sound hacks posted .
Personally Viper4Android is the best by a distance .

Firstly, you should search and not create a thread and post like this for these questions.
I think you should try this thread instead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457945
This is a non-risky method of gaining Samsung Stock Like Sound on any AOSP based Custom Roms like CM, PA , LiquidSmooth etc.
Give it a try and post the feedback on that thread.
Repeat viper4android has no competition worth speaking of though a bit complicated .

Sorry for the thread misplacement. I tried to post on the liquid smooth thread itself but was unable to as I was new. I should have read the section description a little better

Instead of spending time here, head over to the forum specific for your phone model & carrier.
In general, most samsung phones (including your model) can go back to the stock state using odin.
Do you know how to do this?

Again, go to the forum for your phone and all the answers will be laid out for you.
Need ten messages to seek help with viper4android, which is stupid. Thanks for understanding.

You do not need 10 questions to read any existing threads, or (if needed) ask a question in a Q&A forum. Questions do not belong in Development forums which is why the 10 post rule is in place.
