According to what I've read on different forums and websites, The original firmware from Hong Kong has an Apps To SD function. I also don't know why they included that in the Hong Kong firmware.
Question: Can I install a firmware from the region Hong Kong if my phone came from a different region? Thanks!
There is no reason why not, but back up first to be safe.

Its new so I think I dont need to backup. Might flash my Mega right away when it arrives this coming friday.
Anyone else who would like to try the Hong Kong rom?

I have tried the HK Rom and cannot find any MoveToSD button in app manager. Maybe I broke something when I built it though.

I tried to flash it today without having to factory reset my phone and it works fine. Where did you get your HK Rom? Maybe you got the wrong region?

Thanks for the info, but this is not good news, it means this is somewhere in the Samsung bloat I removed.
This might help: I used the turn off function on most of the samsung bloatwares instead of uninstalling it. So maybe its not because of the bloatwares..

What format is your SD card? I am getting a "not enough space error" when there clearly is space
I don't know haha sorry! But I formatted it using my phone. No other weird format or stuffs i used for this to work

I bought my Mega off ebay (an import) and got an update immediately which I imagine was the app to SD support. I've got I9205ZHUAMG1 firmware. App to SD really helps me a lot as I think there was only about 4.9GB available memory in the phone so now I have the majority of my apps on the SD card (although some data remains on phone still).
SD Card Size
After installing the HK ROM, I have the apps to sd feature but my internal SD card size is reported incorrectly. Does anyone have this issue?
I have 8gb sd but now it is reported as 16gb sd.

HI everyone ....
i am not new to XDA but new to s3......
why does my brand new galaxy s3 which i bought yesterday has Vodafone apps and widgets.... its international then why..i bought this from Pakistan and there is NO such carrier as VODAFONE in Pakistan. i bought this its was brand new sealed.
info= pebble blue
=16gb
=baseband=i9300bulg2
build=imm76d.i9300bublg3
also i know the baseband is of another country and might be able to flash and remove this but my question is why.......................this phone was completly brand new sealed when i opened it yesterday and has vodaphone apps (bloatware) like wth..... ....... should i send it back or something lol.
EDIT = FLASHED UK ROM NOW I HAVE ANY NO NETWORK SIGN
UPDATE= SO AFTER THE NO SIGNAL ISSUE THE PHONE HAS BEEN SHOWN TO MANY TECHNICIANS BY THE SELLER AND FINALLY I WILL GET MY PHONE BACK TOMORROW ITS PRACTICALLY USELESS AND NO
SIGNAL TILL NOW GONNA FLASH FIRMWARE THAT IT CAME WITH ...TOMORROW....THATS MY ONLTY CHANCE.....
Update 3---- flashed stock firmware ....same.....but now it's says no service and that no signal sige
UPDATE--4 fixxed it with a modem patch..
-----------------new post below----http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601-----
HERE IS THE fix^^^
You'll probably find its bought from the UK or anywhere else in Europe, flashed in Pakistan, then made available to sell....just flash UK firmware and it should be fine
anyone interested in blu-ray steelbooks, holla at your boy
You have bought a Vodaphone SGS3 .
Why you need to ask the seller .
As said looks like you have been sold an import .
jje
My s3 is a Vodafone import. Use galaxsim unlock to check if it's not networked locked. But since you can use your aim straight out of the box you should be good. Then Just flash a rom as speedyjay suggested.

Ok so i don't know how to say this but. I had rooted my phone. Then i wanted to get Facebook Home, so i deleted the file for facebook(because usually you aren't supposed to be able to delete facebook just un-install the updates.) And then time passed and i unrooted it, next day it got stuck in a bootloop and i fixed it. But now i can delete facebook. Does anyone know the file to put it so i can't delete it just un-install to stock lg l9 facebook. And where to put that file so it won't fully delete?
I would really appreciate it if you can help!!
Also i can not restore it because i had to factory reset my phone.:what:

Alright, go into Root Browser. Locate the application in system files, and hold down on it, then select "Cut" or "Move." Navigate to system/app with the application that you cut, and then click "Paste" or "Move here."
A simple reboot and the effects will be there

No, it's not a ROM but a custom recovery for L9 devices with a locked bootloader.

Now I'm guessing from your previous screen shot that you are trying to return the phone to stock. Facebook is installed as a system app on stock 4.1.2 ( on my 769 anyways ). If you don't have the custom recovery mentioned above installed, the only option you have is to use ADB to push the files to the device.
Do you still have root? If not, none of this will work.

I'm at work currently. When I get home, about 4 hrs or so, I'll put a small ADB package together. In the meantime, if not already installed, you will need to install LGs USB drivers for your device to your PC.

This is in the wrong section, but you mean to say your stock and took the OTA update? If so just go to a verizon store since THEIR update broke the phone, I would argue that even if its outside of warranty your phone was working fine before their update was released.
Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. I guess I should clarify what I meant by ruin. I just meant I can't save to it anymore.
