Hello everyone,
my cousing bought a chinese I9300 but he wanted to change ROM because the current one doesn't work well and he has lots of problems with the signal, sms, wifi... We're from Italy if that matters.
Below you can see the screenshots captured from an Antutu report so you can see what's inside this baby :good:
I'd like to know if there's any ROM I can install to replace the running one and see if it can work better.
Thank you all in advance

The phone is not a SGS3 I9300 its some fake clone chinese job .
As posted nothing for that phone on this forum we cannot advise .
I hate to say this to you..
But that does not looks like a real S3 I9300.
From the screen shots I can see that the screen resolution is not correct and neither is the standard DPI.
So I don't think you can install any of the ROMS that are available in this section of the forum.
I think your cousin bought a knock-off that looks almost the same.
Unless you can figure out what phone it really is you are out of luck I'm afraid...
Yeah I thought that too as I saw the report.
So you think that maybe a ROM not for S3 but for some other phone might work.. What should I look for? Screen res, processor....
It looks like hunting a needle in the sea
Suggest you search and read the hundreds of identical post and see if you can find a forum/ firmware .
You require rom for your phone not some other phone .

i did my research with the phones model number and all. so it seems plretty legit. the installed rom does come with korean and english language option of choosing. i was wondering i can root this device the same way you would root a regular samsung galaxy s ii, install custom recovery, flash OTA Rom or custom, etc. what we androidians mostly do with our devices. forgot to mention that it is a cdma phone and if it is possible to unlock to use here in the u.s.
if anyone could shed some light on my current situation, i would highly appreciate it. thanks in advance.
Don't do it.
Apparently, LG U+ SGS2's have some kind of special rom that is difficult to find. I have been living in Korea for a while and happened to get one of these. I'm sure one of the XDA hackers will eventually get around to giving us a good root solution, but until then we are rootless.
BTW - the antenna is for DMB reception. I'm pretty sure the DMB signal is only in Korea though...Maybe in a few years someone will start tinkering with it and get normal TV somehow.
hi everyone i got the samsung galaxy s3 and i love it but i have a question
when i had the galaxy s2 i noticed that when you are on the home screen and move from screen to screen the image move with the screen but that dosent happen with the s3
so is that a feature only for the s2 or gingerbread devices or can i do the same on the s3 as well ?
and if i can how ?
thanks
your talking about scrolling wallpaper?
some launchers can activate that for you. or custom roms.
Can download it at play store. Search for scrolling wallpaper. This apps is ment for S3. No need root or custom rom.. Give it try.. I`m using it & it's just not scrolling on home screen but apps page also.

Looks nice indeed, But all works perfectly is not completely true. FM radio doesn't work. Chance to lose sound in calls so needed to extra flash an other modem file. TVOut: unsupported and will probably never be. Wakeing the device up using volume keys might not work because the device is sleeping to deep and doesn't recognize key presses

Hi,
When I use the Airdroid app, on my SGS2 it all works fine but when I put my phones desktop on the screen it looks all redish. Does anyone know why this is an perhaps how I can fix it? I'll include a SS to show you what I mean.
thanks,,

This has become a relatively common problem for the Galaxy S and Galaxy SII. It's been nicknamed The Red Screen of Death (How original).
From what I can tell in the other cases its been caused by a custom ROM. Are you using stock or a custom rom?
Some speculation is that it might be a bug with night mode. make sure this is disabled in the settings.

You have an S3, and an international one none the less... double fail.
Try Factory reset & Wipe Catch..
Definitly not the firmware problem..
I'm also on XXUFME7 and i can use both those features perfectly...

instead of your silly joke , if you don't know why , its enough to say "i don't know". i just figured out why i wasn't able to use multi-windows and multi-widgets
the problem come from the (easy user interface) , do not enable that

Orrrr how about you actually read what forum you are posting in and maybe you won't get flamed.... this is for the wrong phone and wrong carrier. Like cmon, it's not that hard to READ.

If this topis is posted in wrong section , admin plese move to proper one insted of remove it.
You've got the right idea in downloading some apps to see if you've got the real deal. Now download antutu & quadrant (both benchmarking apps) & run a benchmark on each. Post the results.
You can also take a few photos with the rear camera and see what the quality is like.
Also, post a photo of the back of your phone without the battery cover & battery. Make sure to cover up your imei.
