Hey guys,
Little help required n a big favour
Recently i purchased Galaxy S3, the model number says its i9300 n on its back cover 4g lte is mentioned, there is also an antenna on it. It has 2gb ram. N surprising it was rooted.
Its baseband says i9300zsema2.
Now i just wanna ask
1. How do i install custom recovery on it???
2. Which custom rom i can install on it??? I93100 roms or I9305 lte roms???
Hoping for reply thanks

Sounds like a clone, try searching Google.

I checked it thoroughly, every thing Samsung offered in S3 is in it, quad core processor, 2 gb ram, Mali 400 GPU. Performance is also awesome like S3,i have googled alot, after finding nothing i am asking over here.

Hey guys
Im new here. I am looking to buy SGS2 for about 26k. The problem however here(in India) is that the sellers say that they cannot distinguish between 9100 and 9100G, the model could be either of these..so its kind of a gamble, i could either get 9100 or 9100G.. :|
Now i researched quite a bit and have seen few negative reviews bout 9100G..that processor and gpu are inferior, processor doesnt reach its maximum limit(clocked at 1.008 ghz), and performance is slightly lower than original 9100..
So basically i just want to ask..whether the performance of 9100G is really that inferior, quite noticable in demanding apps? I mean i want to do loads of multitasking, heavy gaming etc.and will buying 9100G for 26k be worth?
Or i could buy some other mobile like htc evo 3d or motorola atrix 2 for lesser price and get similar performance to 9100g?
please do answer asap, im really eager to buy the mobile
thanks a lot
In retroperspective, I wouldn't buy the I9100G because of all the reasons you mentioned (inferior gpu, less developement).
You can however distinguish the G from the normal I9100 on boot (it says I9100G). It is also specified on the box.
One last thing - the cpu is limited to 1GHz but you can overclock it to the intended speed without worry.

Dude it is specified on the box...at the bottom width wise side... but if you want i9100 you can buy from flipcart.com... they wont **** with customers and wese bhi no G model on that site

you started a thread in development area to ask about S2??????common man there is a Q n A area, there is an FB page, there is GOOGLE yet of all the places you choose a development area????
For me G version is the best, all games are working perfectly on my G and i heard some games arent working for 9100. But its up to you to decide.
The 3d performance is better on the g and long battery life and less overheated ...

Only people who have G's say you should buy G's.
DON'T BUY IT !!
I have the regular i9100 but i create rom's etc for the i9100G (mainly for the Israeli community). There is little choice as far as Rom's, Mod's and Kernel's go.
The regular i9100/i9100T is a much better idea.
And as for performance at battery life, Okey the G has slightly mod battery life but its slower so no wonder.
I put a LPQ g VS an LPQ i9100 and the regular was definitely faster.
from what i know, i could tell you that, you have done the right research, and "yoelsd" have mentioned it correctly. I have both G and non-G version, G version specs is not really that good.
A. Its clocked at 1.2 ghz not 1 ghz
B.Yes less roms r there but CM9 got ported no big difference in performance cuz i m running gta3 on i9100g and mc3 the games look awesome and highly detailes so no big difference b/w the 2 models imo

Since the ICS update I have a higher score for the CPU in AnTuTu that I had in GB. It also always show 1.2 GHz now (it used to show 800 Mhz or 1008 Mhz).
What you can read about the CPU performance is no longer true.

it all depends on the user who is going to use it, what are the usage and how he is going to use it. the difference between a non-g version and a g version is the hardware, overall there isnt too much of the difference in it. So it all depends on u, cheers!!
For me there's another important difference:
Sound quality.
the Yamaha DAC used on I9100 it's not good as the one in OMAP processor.
I'm an audiophile.
in which age your now G never stops on 1.08 GHz its boosted to 1.2 GHz
If u want to get an 'S2', u should get the non-g. Take a look at the non-g forum u will see a big different, u will have a lot roms, kernels, ... and more support from devs.
If u can't buy the non-g then go buy anyphone u want EXCEPT the s2g.
U should choose the phone that got support from devs.

Dont be so negative on the 'g' . in fact its doing quiet well except lack of devs support. Its quiet fast and smooth ( i can say that its definitely faster than galaxy ace because i have one ). I like to play with phone so the ' ace ' is better because it have a lot of devs support.
BUT, if i have chance i will try to buy a non-g.

I don't know about gt-i9100g, but I'm using SHW-M250S (korean gs2) now.
as i know, there is three type of korean gs2, m250s/k/l. s/k is for gsm, and l is for cdma.
m250s/k is i9100+nfc+dmb(korean tv broadcast)+some pit difference.
if u just flash pit for i9100 on m250s/k, you can flash all roms for i9100 on m250s/k.

I don't know about the Korean variant of the galaxy s2, but the major difference between the GT-I9100 and the GT-I9100G version is the SoC. Exynos (made by samsung) is present on the normal (non g variant), and has a lot of dev support because it is the first international variant. The G version has Omap4 SoC, the same as galaxy nexus, which makes it more dev friendly as Omap4 is more easy to develop. However, the G version has 1 GHz processor, not 1.2 (like the non G), tho users are very happy with the G version. It all depends on what you plan to do. If you want to flash AOSP (such as CM9/10) ROMs, you'd be better off buying the G (version) since developers are now leaning towards that. Both phone have custom ICS and JB ROMs, so you don't need to be worried about that.
As far as the battery is concerned, I'm happy with my S2, I can easily spend a day using it with normal use. I plug my phone in at night and plug out after waking up, and use the phone for the whole day without charging again. I guess you could say its reasonable for such a smartphone. I don't know about battery life on the G version, though.
Both phones are alike in physical appearance, and the way to distinguish between them is just the from the bootscreen or written behind the battery on the phone, and on the box ... maybe someone else may tell you more about it.
Sorry for the long post

People in India are not happy about getting the g model in the box when they have paid for the non g model.

the i9100 has the dual core exynos 4210 with mali 400 gpu specs on sheet its faster than omap 4430 , but u wont tell the difference ! the i9100g has a better battery life and is powered by sgx 540 but its overclocked from 233mhz to 384mhz other than that they are the same ! plus i noticed that my i9100g comes with 11gb storage only not 16! which is kinda weird
Dude, give up on the idea and just get a Nexus 4 if you want Jelly Bean.
Don't even think about getting any other Android, it just won't be the same as getting the updates straight from the big G.
Good job necroing a 12 mth old thread
ok so i have 2 S1 phones and 2 S3 phones. i loved the S1 and has been great to me and i bought the S3's because they are power houses BUT its not comforatble to me and i like the S2 look and feel and size of it is just righ tto me and i know that with so many differnt types which would be best??
i live in the UK so basicly im looking for what you guys thing will be the best version of the S2 to get. i dont play any games on phone, well i have unblock me for times when im bored but mostly its internet surfing, personal money tracking and emails.
anyhow if oyu could haev any S2 which version would you get and Y?? thanks guys/girls
I would say the 9100 is the best variant.
It has a great development section and is a great device

get the I9100P if you are interest in using the NFC feature in the future.
otherwise the international version is fine.
It truly Depends...
What you need and in what u are interested...
Like SGS II X and HD LTE have greater Hardware... But i9100 have best development support

Sorry if this has already been posted or is in the wrong section i am new to the forums.
Okay i recently got into rooting and putting custom roms on my phone right now i have an HTC evo 4g.
But i am eligable for an upgrade with sprint i have been waiting for a while because i knew there would be an amazing phone to be released soon enough and i am starting to think the SIII.
Is this phone worth it? I would only be paying 250$ for the 32gb and 199$ for the 16gb with my upgrade.
is there any other phones that are up there with the galaxy s3 on sprints network? Or should i just go and get this phone.
is it alot faster then the s2? also will i be able to put jellybean on it if i was to get it? is there a stable release out.
Yes. Go get this phone.
Is the best currently available.

Buy the phone if you want it. It's a great phone but it may not suit your needs. Check it the specs and compare it with other phones you can choose from .
Your s3 model won't be the international version, it will be the dial core version so check their forum to see their development.

The dual core GS3 has documented and developer-friendly Qualcomm = definitely worth buying.
S3 is easily the best phone I have ever owned (and I have owned a great many top-spec phones).
That said I preferred the S2 in terms of size and weight. But the S3 has a higher quality screen and considerably better battery life
Oooh i see now the I9300 is the quad core version which is not in the US
The US version is dual core.
Okay how big is the difference in speed between the two?

Should be similar on stock touchwiz. The dual core one is lightyears ahead of the Exynos one, though, when it comes to custom AOSP roms. Why? Well, just ask @codeworkz ^^

Thank you very much.
Just wanted to add my opinion to this one as I'm sick of all the exnos bashing.
Just because cm devs can't get it to work properly does not mean it's bad. It's the best version and I've never ever used a ti Omap or Qualcomm based phone that wasn't **** and dont get me started on cm roms on phones as from desire onwards I've never encountered a cm version worth installing as they aren't worth it. Stock android has always been and always will be lacking and ugly no matter how many cookie cutter mods you implement like volume button wake which is old old old.
Do yourself a favour and stick to Samsung based roms and save the headache and the laughs from people who see your stock android device and the pictures that come off the aosp camera among other things.
The SG III is way better value than the iphone 5.
If you want something "worth buying", you are the only one who can actually decide on this.. because it may/may not suit you. So i suggest you search and gather info for yourself so you get accurate infos
I do not mean to flame or anything, just a mini-suggestion. Hopefully this will help you in your decision
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I am surprised that no one said that you should wait for the Note 2 or the new Nexus or the next Galaxy S x, where x>3. There will always be better, but when you actually start using the phone you see that you don't need anything more, except less call log lag
It is that great that I don't even have the urge to root it right now and I rooted and reflashed everything android I had before.
