Im trying Nova looks ok so far thanks

Yeah, that's a carrier imposed limitation, Optus did the same thing with the S III & boggled many minds. Flashing an unbranded ROM is the easiest way to fix it.

Re-Flashed
Thanks Guys been so helpful..
I ended up flashing my N7105 with N7105XXDMB2_N7105EVRDMA2_N7105BVDLL3 + CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-t0ltexx-gtn7105.tar
klect - Nova is nice but i like Touchwiz....
thanks for any firmware works i all ways try to pick country's with similar mobile freq's and english as default to make life easy after wipe..
onslaught86 = Spot On ... Y.o.Y .. did Optus do that ???? limit the functions of such a powerful devices ...
the dock is unlocked on N7105XXDMB2 4.1.2
N7105XXDMB2
no bloatware seem near perfect so far ... hope the battery is as good is OPS 4.1.1
guys ... you know when in about device you hit android version several times it show the Android Version Pic ...

Anybody received 2.3.5 update?

Hi guys,
I'm from NZ and I just read unlocked version GT-i9100 has got 2.3.5 update today on pocketnow.com
My one is GT-i9100 and it's from Singapore as far as I know but I haven't received any update through kies software.
Please let me know how many users here have got it
Oh, I'm still stuck with 2.3.3...t.t
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
you can get it via downloaded package and import that with odin ! i got 2.3.5 on my sgs2 but it seems im having problems with usb connection !
Hm I have already updated by odin but it seems slower and more buggy(oh screen scrolling only) than 2.3.3 so I returned to KI2.
Actually I preferred none overflow scrolling so I want to update to 2.3.5 but I don't like laggy when scrolling the homescreen so I came back.
Anyone have same problem as me after updating to 2.3.5?

[Q] Spell check with underline

Hi,
Has anyone managed to get the standard ICS spell checker with red underline working? I know now that CM9 etc are out I could install one of these roms to get it, but I currently still like TW.
I found this thread relating to achieving this on the SGS2 but nothing similar for the SGS3.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
This would be nice
Use the aosp keyboard, the Samsung keyboard is crap.

Touchwiz reboots?

Is anyone else experiencing the Touchwiz launcher rebooting after being in an app and coming out if it for a period of time. Really bugging me that I can't find anything reporting the same problem?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
There's loads of threads on this. Change dalvik cache size or just use Nova launcher. IMO it's better.

There have been loads of reports about it.
Use Nova as the poster above said or go to android.mimic.ca and upload your services.jar and it'll change the oom priorities so the launcher isn't killed.

I really think I need a lesson in how to search properly. So if I use another launcher will Touchwiz lay dormant or still be running in the background?

You could try checkrom's latest release, they have tweaked tw to reduce redraws, I haven't noticed the problem since I flashed it.

Any reason why you recommend nova as to apex. I read they are so similar. I wanna know the best so I can pay for the full one

Still does it whether on custom roms or whether you apply any and all the tweaks on the forum, it also happens with all the launchers.
Serious problem that needs to be addressed.
You will also notice multitasking is a complete no no as all the other apps reload too.
More ram is needed or many many less running apps.
Go launcher doesn't seem to redraw if you can stand such an old launcher.
Peace.

You're doing it wrong.
Go launcher is ****.
I NEVER get redraws with Nova.
Use my phone constantly, on 5hrs 12min screen on right now and not one redraw all day.

Couldn't disagree more, I don't get any redraws using checkrom. And when it comes to go launcher, it's probably the most bloated and clunky browser there is albeit highly customizable. Nova and Apex are probably just a good as each other. Touchwiz seems to use less resources than other launchers but it is lacking in features.

To be fair not one re draw from nova as yet. The card scrolling effect of home screens is probably my favourite bit

I don't think so.
The only options would be to flash newer firmware manually with Odin (may our may not help) or use market launcher such as nova or apex. They have option in settings to keep launcher in memory. It can help, but not always prevent launcher getting killed off.

Home Dcreen Lag

Anybody found any lag while switching back to home screen from the browser. Sometime there is lag sometimes no lag... When its laggin..the weather widget will come then the icons.. its frustrating to see this lag on S3,which is the most powerful phone till date. I have tried switching s-voice off and lower the transition to 0.5

Sorry for the spelling error.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
That's the launcher redrawing itself.
Basically because of heavy amount of RAM used by Android, it kills some of the other processes including launcher.
Even I get it and I hate hate HATE it.
There are some solutions but it will require root and it's not very simple.
It's embarrassing to be honest.
Yep I get that too, still Samsung seem to think that the amount of ram the s3 has is sufficient!

Just locking Launcher in memory or Reducing the OOM priority will fix it. Why is Samsung not fixing it.
If I'm not wrong, the JB leaks doesn't fix it either. The only gripe I have about this phone.
iOS get this right, unfortunately.
Dialer App has the worst lag. contacts take ages to come up. its horrible

I'm almost certain it doesn't occur in the latest jelly bean leaks - so I'd recommend either updating to one of them or just patiently wait for the official release

Really JB solves this?? Hey man I have unrooted phone... there are so many JB thread.. can u guide me which one to flash(the one which is most stable).. and before that I also need to root my phone... can u give me the link to CF root or any other... I am on Baseband version DDLH1
On JB I don't have any home screen redraw using Nova Launcher (I had on ICS). Don't know if it still happens with Touchwiz.

Well I can assure you it occurs a lot less (i used to be really annoyed by it on ICS - I'm using LI5 right now and haven't noticed a redraw yet).
You don't need to be rooted if you don't want to be. All you need to do is head here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835931 This is the latest LI7 JB leak, flash through Odin (follow instructions on first page) and all should work fine from then on (assuming you have the international galaxy s3).
Please note I think you will lose your data - in that case you may want to be rooted first so you back up your data and then flash the LI7 rom and then restore the data (for apps and games only). In this case just find the cfroot for Galaxy S3 and flash the latest cfroot kernel via Odin (then back up using titanium backup or other app from the playstore).

Isn't it like jb 4.2 keyboard?
yes and No
the Note 2 keyboard has the number on top of the Keyboard which is something i like most about the keyboard
4.2 keyboard has built in swype tho which is a plus
So does the stock Samsung keyboard for Note 1. What's different?

I've been looking for it as well... it has built in swype just like the JB keyboard plus the numbers in the top from the Samsung keyboard and automatic s pen detection.

A good remedy in the meantime could be lowering the longpress time to 200 - 300 ms on swiftkey flow.
You get the swype feature and the numbers on top with a very short long press. Kinda ironic.

I'm going to take a look at the ATT & TMO stock ROMs to see if I can get this running on the NOTE1.
There is an old thread that lists the following as dependencies for the Chinese keyboard:
/system/app/SamsungIME.apk
/system/lib/libhandwritelib.so
/system/lib/libjni_secime.so
/system/lib/libXT9.so
/system/lib/libXt9core.so
The lib files for the version of MyScript used on the NOTE 2 keyboard are located at:
/system/lib/libMyScriptEngine.so
/system/lib/libMyScriptEquation.so
/system/lib/libMyScriptHWR.so
/system/lib/libMyScriptShape.so
/system/lib/libMyScriptSolver.so
Of these '/system/lib/libMyScriptHWR.so' is the most likely dependency for the keyboard. The other libs are most likely SNote/SMemo related.
I was able to get the new Android keyboard (JB_MR1) working on the Stock ROM by completely uninstalling the old one then installing the new via TB. It didn't work for me by simply updating the new on top of the old.
IDK if this is what you are looking for, but number 7 works for our phone also!!!
