so i purchased a s3 on craigslist. the camera its kind of funny and the rom seems more like a generic rom without any s app how could i find out if the phone is fake or not? and if it's possible to install clean rom from this forums for this version.
thanks in advance.
Sounds like whoever sold you the phone sold it to you with some sort of custom Rom. I would suggest you look under your about phone, and let us know what it says there.

First question you should ask is how much you paid for it because if the price is too good to be true the device is probably not a legit one, also from lookong at the about phone screen that is either some rom I havent seen or poss a fake
Also this should noy be in this forum area try closing this down and request it is moved to either general or q&a

Custom ROM for a custom fake phone it looks like. Install Android System info and see what chipsets it contains...

Most likely a fake S3 - based on Mediatek mtk6575 CPU.

I think it's quite fast to be honest. We had a ROM and root before the device was even released!
Saying that, I'm pleased with the speed and interface on the s3 as it is (for now), so finding little reason to install custom.
Once voodoo is enabled on a kernel I'll look at installing a custom one.

lols you call being rooted already even when the rooter didn't have the device slow?
you call having beta roms already floating around even when the device was just released slow?
the only time i'll say development is slow is if a certain gavin-phelan actually manages to develop something let's say the next decade for this sgs3.
come on you devs! where are your developments?!?!?! what's taking all of you so long?! it's so easy to develop something you know, even us random posters cand do it fast and easy!
you are all so ##$$&@*@ slow for gavin-phelan's sake!
very few devs would spend $700 for a device.

USA has different specs and this model is not going to get released here anyway. To the op, cm9 developers are working on this and aosp roms always take some time after release since they have to do some device specific tweaks. Right now most roms will be stock variants.

It may work on ICS, but it may not. It does work for me on Samsung stock ICS, but I've not tried on CM9. However, that said; did you even read what Sun90 linked above? At all? Because it's a post from the guy who actually developed Chainfire 3D. You know. His name is Chainfire. Maybe you should read the post again, because it contains all the information you are asking about.
I DID read the link and the link properly said IT will NOT work on ICS. Only Foryo and GB! Now i need to wait people with CM10 paranoid.

Well if your searching then you would know that one such ROM is based on cm10(jb) while some are stock ROM based... if you can't tell which is more stable then I would suggest switching to a Nokia

Hello all, I have finally decided to root my S3. I just have one question though, what app would be good to backup all my settings, pics, apps and everything else? Also what is a good Rom to use that's fast and based on jellybean?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
You can use titanium backup. As for the ROM it depends, some prefer stock with custom kernel others prefer asop ROMs. You should browse the forums and decide for yourself. Also next time search and only make a new thread if you can't really find an answer, the moderators may get mad at you.

actually jjegan is right. due to hardware differences, you need to check out the appropriate forum for your phone. you will turn your phone into an expensive paperweight if you flashed any roms or kernels in this forum.

You do realize that it was all a joke right? Set DPI to 600 and it poops strains of gold.... You didn't read that and figure out that was not real.
If you are as clueless as your name states is one thing. But with all of the guides available to read that are all over this forum, it only makes you look bad for not reading first or searching before asking questions.
