Im pretty sure this can be done by editing the Build.prop.

in build prop there is a line for device number ( like mine is GT-S5670)
just replace it by s3 code in your build prop and check

Yeah.
To get Google wallet on Galaxy S3 to work you have to make it think its a Galaxy Nexus... Editing the build.prop does just that and Google wallet works like it should

The graphics are great. I wish my Galaxy could handle the newly found Tegra ability on all Android devices. Apparently there's a way to get the detailed Tegra version onto all devices. I'm pretty sure it would lag.
If you want to get Dead Trigger go into the Pirate Bay. I tried to get it through play store and that kept crashing. I don't know why.

Android Apps

If an app is configured to only work on ICS and down and not on JellyBean, what would it take for me to make it so that it'll work on JB? Or you know...if someone can do it lol. But I'd prefer to do it myself. Thanks!
Android is retrocompatible, so, if an app is developed to work with ICS as minimum version, it SHOULD work on JB.

It shouldn't take you too long to port it over. Some apps won't require any modifications to work on the new firmware, while others do.

No you can not possibly do that! Your device is completely different from the galaxy s3 for various reasons, by flashing a rom of other smartphone the only result will brick your device

When used in reference to consumer electronics, a "brick" describes an electronic device such as a smart phone, game console, router, or tablet computer that owing to a serious misconfiguration, corrupted firmware or a hardware problem, can no longer function. The term derives from the vaguely cuboid shape of many electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) and the suggestion that the device can only function as a large, heavy object.

Sure hold on here whilst I flash the latest .ipsw file from Apple. I doubt that will brick my phone, after all, they are both smartphones!
But Is there any rom which is the same as the S3 firmware and needs no rooting

I dont think you are intelligent enough to do much with a phone.
But at least your next topic cant be as stupid as your first.
The one sought in the forum, there are custom rom leaving his appearance with the S3 S2.
Now this is really determined to install the rom S3 in S2, would you donate to your phone than using it with a paperweight in the future.

[Q] Home Swipe Screen

On the Galaxy S III, form the main menu you can swipe and it goes all the way around, but on the Note 2, I can't seem to find the setting to unlock this. I get to the end of the page, and it stops; doesn't go around. Does this option exists or no for the galaxy note 2?
Thank you~
If it does I have not found it either .?

why? other apps have been taken from Samsung devices. aNote from the Note 8 runs on my HTC One. if TW is the issue then somebody can pull the app from the Google Play version of the S4.
Learn how to then.

It seems you are only going to get flamed here. I would see if you can find the apk in the google play edition rom for the S4 and see if someone can give you a hand porting it over. My guess is if it works on that rom it will likely work on any rom/phone

Nope. You can't pull the apk from the Google okay edition since it needs the framework from tw to function. Unless you can get it ported you're outta luck.

Might as well get used to not using it. The Samsung calendar needs Samsung framework. Its call building brand loyalty. Why do you think so many still use an iphone.

I actually prefer the look of sCalendar as well. It's missing some basic functions (like custom repeating events, etc), but I really like the look and ease of view switching.
As this is getting no where and the info is easily searched for and found.
