Install android 4.2 on galaxy s3 (from Smartisan)

Hi,
I'm fairly new to android (recent iOS convert) and playing with roms, I got an international samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which was already rooted and I put the Smartisan OS on to it. After playing with it for a while, it's good but a little buggy in it's pre-alpha state, I'd like to put standard android 4.2 (not the samsung stock software) onto the device.
Would anyone be kind enough to tell me or point me in the right direction to do this please? I've googled and can find people rooting the device or putting other ROMs onto it but nothing that tells me how to put standard android 4.2 on it from the Smartisan OS it's on now.
Many thanks in advance for any help
Best,
Greg
Just flash an aosp zip via recovery and do a factory reset

thanks but I don't really know exactly what that means to be honest
Where do I get an aosp zip from and how do I flash it?

This is what the guides and FAQs are for in general

I thought I made it obvious that I wasn't able to find what I needed in there....
Nope. You didnt mention "general" at all. You said you googled. Look in "General" - important stuff is stuck at the top.
Or follow the link a moderator posted to you in your duplicate thread.
We wont spoon feed you.
Or see the sticky fas and guides .
Any user who cannot find the basics and has not read them should flash nothing .
Saves bricking your phone through ignorance is why .

I'm just asking for a bit of help, a link to something relevant, is that unreasonable to you? I thought this was a help forum.
I've looked and looked and can't find anything on installing pure android from the smartisan OS
Lots about rooting and lots about installing new roms, nothing about simply putting android 4.2 onto it... Do I just need to root it? (mine came rooted with omega on it so I don't know if simply rooting would do the job)
It's probably just the correct terminology that I need to know, is all.

No its a developers forum and users get tired of the same questions day after day .

Root does not put on a rom .

[Q] How do i flash THIS ROM on S3

Hi guys,
i know most of you are thinking now why i dont search or google or something else but really i cant do anything about this.
I am new to flashing and rooting and i rooted my s3 ella i9300 version with the samsung toolkit v 7.0 via odin.
Now i would like to instlall this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106471&nocache=1
But srsly, there is no good tutorial for newbies. i cant understand why the developers never try to help us noobs in such situations like this.
So please can anyone help me out? I went into the download section of the ROM but there are so many files i dont know which to take and download...
Thanks in advance
Full instructions are on the website, linked in the OP of the slim thread which you no doubt read

Yes but you would be better not flashing that rom . But spending time reading the basics first as you are lacking in even the first steps .
Noobs are expected to read first flash last this is a developers forum for developers . Those that don't bother to learn the basics are not going to be spoonfed .
So seriously you read the posted stickied faqs and guides or suffer a bricked phone your choice .

[Q] help which version s3 do i have and root help

Hi all, ok its been a very long time since i rooted my sg3 , ok i have an s3 locked to vodafone and is running rom 4.1.2 baseband I9300XXEMG4, So is this normal verizon/sprint phone and yes im in the UK.
What i need to no is can somebody post a link to me and the latest easier way to root my S3 Please, sorry to have forgotton the whole thing but its been ages since i last rooted,
Also are there any latest sound boosting hacks that are available now ?
And finally sorry for posting in wrong section to the admin if i have.
Hope to get some help very soon.
Thankyou from Brian.
Makes no sense, this forum is for the i9300 international -if you have a sprint then you'll brick it with files from this forum.
Suggest you go read the sticky thread in general, rather than posting questions already asked a thousand times.
Start by finding out what phone you have .
Details are under the battery .
If it is an I9300 then all the information is posted .
Basics read first.

Likewise sound hacks are posted use search .

Oh i am of the same opinion your question made no sense as sprint verizon is USA and therefore would be in the wrong forum .Likely you would brick the phone if asking for
information here would be extremely high if that was the case and you suggest you have Vodaphone UK phone but ask about some other model .

I didn't intend any sarcasm, I don't want you to brick your phone but I'm not going to type information you can find for yourself in just a few moments.

Samsung noob looking for root advice

Hi there,
as I'm totally noob on Samsung and I don't know really nothing about their devices - my brother in law gave me his business S3 (GT-I9300) for his vacation with the order to get him the current rom flashed.
Now, as I'm a HTC fanboy this is really pain as I'm currently trying to figure out what is needed to flash a custom rom.
I know an HTC needs to be unlocked/ s-offed/ rooted - but what about a Samsung?
Heard somewhen some words like Kies and Odin and am trying now a noob proof tool named SkipSoft Toolkit
I really lost overview here because all specific Samsung relevant words and explanations are like Alien language to me....
If someone could just point me to the steps I'd follow like
1. Unlock with ____link____
2. Root with
3. Recovery
4. other steps
I'd really appreciate your help!!
