Hello everybody,
I have an Samsung galaxy s3 (I9300), and its getting hella slow and the battery life is way to short.
So i came across a youtube video with some one who was talking about CyanogenMod 11, Now i have some questions about this.
First of all , Can i use this?
I live in The Netherlands and i have a contract at T-mobile. I had it replaced due to a cracked screen so there is no T-mobile stuff on the phone. It's like a standard phone straight from samsung.
Is it faster and better then the stock version that all S3's have?
Is it hard to do?
I have flashed my ipod once with succes and i have flashed a old windows phone with succes.
and can you link the stuff that i need to download and an instruction or video so i have the things i need for MY phone.
If you guys/girls have any questions , feel free to ask them!
Thank you in advance friends!
I had similar issues with my S3 and after installing CM11 it became much faster and better. Make sure to backup everything and go ahead, shouldn't be too hard.

Hi,
Good day to everyone.
Could you help out with a unit I bought which is a S2 SHW-M250K? I'm a residence in the Philippines but unfortunately the device is limited in certain features. Like creating a SMS is limited to 90 characters and thus prompts MMS not available. Upon the call feature, is always goes to autoroaming. Its really annoying and a hassle for me.
Is there a way I could totally reformat the whole system and install a new one that is compatible here in the Philippines or like the standard look of a S2 l9100?
If there is, could you give a step-by-step procedure cause I really don't know the "how-to" with phones, flash ROM or anything that pertains to his matter.
Hope for a assistance.
Thanks.
Jan from the Philippines
i have the same phone in the same country and i don't have either of your issues. the reason is because i flashed a stock i9100 rom to my shw m250k so now it's basically an i9100 phones with an antenna but doesn't have an fm radio. anyway, if you haven't tried flashing before i suggest you read up on some guides. there are some here and more can be found on google. i don't want to give you one myself in case your phone somehow gets bricked (almost impossible though) btw the rom i'm using is the european kg6 one. no issues at all
OT: since we have the same unit, i want to know how long your battery lasts. mine just barely touches 12hrs before it's completely drained, i don't know if it's an isolated case or if all m250k's are the same. i'm using a replacement 1800mah battery though, so that might be the reason. i just don't want to spend money on an original one yet just to find out it's the same story.
hi fyre31,
GREAT!!!! Really appreciate your technical advice on this predicament. Though I don't the "how-to's" on flashing or rooting on this device.
Haven't tried the unit yet but if ever I flashed it I'll give you a feedback on the battery thing.
Thanks again.
Jan
We have the same phone in the same country, regarding battery life, mine got 30 hours with the stock battery on normal use, I'm currently using LiteningRom v5.0

You have no idea, this post of yours is my savior! I tried different roms and they caused my phone to have a boot loop. Now I have Lite'ning Rom v6.1 and it's rooted and has a custom rom without the bloatware in one go. Loving it so far!
For those who need help, these are the steps I followed (don't blame me if something goes awry on your phone though...)
Follow the steps here: http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04...ng-odin-and-superoneclick-step-by-step-guide/
Except! After Step 2, press the volume up button. And then On step 5, instead of the "XWKDD_insecure.tar", replace it with the latest Rom you can download in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274.
By the way, if it wasn't obvious, I have the same predicament as everyone else. I bought the phone before it was officially released in the Philippines, and it was imported from Korea. My phone has an antenna... and it serves nothing other than make my friends laugh because it makes the phone look like some cheap brand, haha My version had M250K before I installed the custom rom.
I have searched high and low about information regarding any custom roms for the Samsung Illusion (verizon) and Galaxy Proclaim (Straight Talk) for a while now. I know there is a root for it finally, but can anybody more knowledgable than myself help a) get the stock base image for the device as this would be a great starting place for basic tweaks, and b) develop a CM7 or perhaps CM9 based rom for this device? I know its not a high end phone by any means but it is a very capable phone for the price and fact that it runs on Straight talks no contract Verizon network. I don't know how to develop a rom at all but I am having rom flashing withdrawals after getting rid of my old Optimus V which had many customs ROMS including CM9/ICS. If any developer could help out with this I know many people including myself would be very grateful
we already have a stock base for the proclaim and are working on a new Rom for it, http:/androidarea51.com

I got in contact with somebody that does custom roms for phones and this is what he said: "I might to if I get more requests..."
If you would like a custom rom for The Samsung Galaxy Proclaim (Straight Talk) as I am pertaining to ICS 4.0 (Google Android OS), then request it through this website: http://www.roms-db.com/contact/
He will only take requests through this form of contact/request form!
I hope that this helped everyone in this forum and those like me that are helpless with this phone on XDA Developers!!

I've very interested in some roms for this phone as well. It is my first android phone, I've already got it rooted but I would love to have ICS or CM9 on it. I think it would improve my battery life substantially.
Curious to know how development has come with this phone? I'll be picking one up on the 23rd and I bought one already for my husband yesterday. We are in the process of switching from Verizon to StraightTalk. (Gotta save money anywhere we can in this crappy economy)
All I know is that it is not the best phone that I had from Straight Talk, but it is the only smartphone through Verizon :thumbdown:

This isn't the only Verizon smartphone that Straight Talk has. In my local walmart they also carry an LG with a slide out keyboard, 3.2" touch screen and 800mhz processor. I purchased one and it seems to get better battery life than the proclaim. I got the proclaim one week and the LG wasn't there, but when I returned it was on the shelf next to it. I haven't been able to find it on their website yet though.
LG Phone?!

don't buy the zip over the proclaim!!! The ZIP has half the memory and you can only install a few apps before having run out of space (I have the Proclaim while my sister-in-law bought the ZIP). She wishes she would have gone with the Proclaim.
I'm also interested in custom ROMs for the Proclaim but don't see it happening...I still haven't rooted as some people are saying they have issues with wifi hotspot after rooting.
I can use FoxFi now without rooting for wifi hotspot.
updates?
Any updates on ANY roms for sch s720c? Somebody help! Lol
Root First?
While we're all waiting patiently for some roms... has anyone found a root method that DOES NOT disable the functionality of USB drive?
From what I've read, the root methods so far work, with the exception that afterwards, when you plug in your phone, it shows up as a CDROM drive.

HI,
I'm thinking on buying a Korean Samsung Galaxy S3 since it is cheap and it has a 2 gb of ram memory ( a friend of mine is selling).
However, I wanted to ask first if I would be able to install the custom roms that are available for the generic model like i9300 or i9305.
Does it mean that I will only have to wait for some developer to make something special for this model since i dont like the current ones that are listed in a Official Korean SIII thread.
Also are there any hardware changes that i will run into problems?
Thank you for your replies/
You need to have ROMs specifically made for the SHV-E210 (K/L/S).
Take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III#Model_variants
You'll notice that the SHV-E210 has the same 4-core CPU as the I9300, but different memory config (2Gb) and different radio (it has 4G LTE).
These are proper ROMs for your device:

Yes unfortunately i saw that thread before posting it and that's what it made me open this question to the xda members.
It seems that there are only a few which are lagging at some point and it seems that it has a different 4G antenna which might bring me problems.
The price for this device is around 480 euros so still don't know what to do?
Recommendations ???

If you can affort the 480 euros, and it is a genuine device, get it.
Keep in mind that "lagging" is quite a subjective term: what appears to be snappy to someone might feel laggy to another person.
The Korean devices are up to par with the I9305 devices and one of the best S III hardwares out there. It is more powerful than the regular, international I9300 we usually have.
Besides, after you root and remove some of the crapware that is installed by default on most roms, you get a much better performance out of the stock ROM.
Im sorry of "lagging" might have sound a bit harsh. I'm an Android fan and i totally agree with you that it is one of the most powerful mobile phones out there. I was also referring previous to the available custom roms that are there.

This is also one of the comments that i found on "

Personally what would you do in this case ???
I live in Europe by the way
If you're looking to just use the phone in its original state or just rooted, I'm indifferent. If I'm looking to flash custom roms on it, I'd go with I9300 or I9305.
Korean version has a DMB (TV) antenna on it I think. So the case would make a little hole somewhere so you can take the antenna out. Apprently it's a little thicker than I9300 but the case for I9300 should fit as well.
There's also an issue with whether the Korean models work on your network of choice. Better check first.
Is the??

Yes you can update it to 4.3, I am using SHV-E210S in India and updated it to 4.3.. Also rooted using cf-auto root and removed all unwanted apps.
Download the latest from Sammobile for your model, and flash it using Odin.. Root using cf-auto root and use Titanium Backup to freeze all unwanted apps. Beware,Only freeze the apps which do not affect the normal function of phone.

Only soft cases for S3 will fit for SHV E 210 L. U can try it before purchase.
Other hard cases will not, because Korean models are thicker by ~ 0.5 mm, hence the cases not fit.
I just traded my iPhone 4 for this phone which state in "About Phone" that it's an SGH-i777 running 2.3.6. OK, fine.
Before I traded, I did some checking to see the difference between the SII & the SII Skyrocket. I was under the impression that the SII was the superior phone after seeing the various nicknames for the Skyrocket. I then found out that since I needed the AT&T version, i'd probably have to get the Skyrocket. OK, fine.
Now here's where i'm confused. I went to this site & it showed the differences between the SII & SII Skyrocket. My phone has the camera shape of the SII, but has the writing on the back cover (Galaxy SII) of the Skyrocket. The front of the phone has the touch screen buttons.
What gives?
You were looking at the International version of the SII. What you're holding in your hand is the US (At&t) version. Still superior to the Skyrockets.

Technically you don't have either of those. They are all SII's by name..but the i777 that you have is the one closest to the original international version of the SII (not the skyrocket). And to confirm, you do have an AT&T model phone.
Your phone - i777
original international S2 - I9100
S2 Skyrocket - i727
OK...thank you.
I went to the accessories thread in this forum & found the case sale @ AT&T.
The problem now is this particular case.
The front of it is showing the one large button instead of the touch screen buttons. I guess it won't work for mine?

The case doesn't cover the front of the phone, only the outside. So it will fit fine.
Thanks for the help, y'all.
Now I just gotta figure out if I made a good trade.
I do know, after reading a thread on rooting, that this phone hasn't been rooted according to the counter. So I guess my next step is rooting this puppy!
Must one go in graduated steps when rooting? I mean, do I have to go to ICS before JB?

Wrong assumption, you should spend less time looking at fanboy posts. Some kind of inferiority complex in this forum, I guess - didn't see anything similar in SkyRocket forums. Using them both side-by-side you couldn't tell a difference, but once you fire the GPS - you would definitely wish you had SkyRocket. I have both, tinker with both, they're both great phones.
In any case, your confusion is somewhat understandable, given ~11 variants of Galaxy S2. But yes, you have i777 - so enjoy the ROM abundance of the international version with several extra clicks

Your first step should be learning the difference in root and rom. They are not synonymous. You don't 'root' to another os or rom. Rooting gives you Admin rights. Nothing more, nothing less. It is not necessary for installing a rom or new firmware

I'd suggest actually using it "as is" for some time, getting yourself familiar with the system before you rush and change things. It'll also give you a better perspective on what you like and what you don't like and want changed, before you start exploring custom ROMs. It's not something that can be decided in a couple minutes of use.

In addition to what Pirate said, I would suggest spending at least 15 hours googling the terms, watching how-to videos, reading the stickies, and perusing the forum before you post any questions about how to root or flash (you flash a ROM, not root a rom) or why your phone is broken after you mistakenly flashed an i9100 ROM (there are special rules for flashing roms intended for the int'l version. Personally, id just avoid flashing them at all).
And to save you any possible embarrassment, NEVER use the word jailbreaking on these forums unless to tell someone else not to use the word, as I have just done. it's a common problem with ex-iPhone users.
Best of luck!

I went ahead & rooted using Odin3 One-Click Downloader.
I assumed everything went smooth since it stated the root passed.
After reboot, however, i'm unable to connect to a wi-fi network. I go into wi-fi settings & turn on the wi-fi. It searches for network for a few seconds, then the check box beside "Wi-Fi" grays out & it leads back to clicking to turn on.
Ideas?
Thanks.

Broken WiFi? Sounds like someone went to zedomaxs website. If you did, shame on you for using his stuff and expecting help here.

No, "someone" hasn't been to any other sites than this one.
I was reading this thread & since I have "UCKK6", I followed the instructions in 2c. In those instructions there was this link to download the One-Click version of Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package plus stock modem from the development forum.
Seeing's how I got all the information from this website, I was assuming I could count on help here.
If i'm mistaken or downloaded something from this website that I wasn't supposed to, then I apologize.
Flash a new (GB if you were on 2.3.6) kernel. Before you do, READ.
Your next step is outlined in creepy's thread. Keep reading

Good ideas sticking with xda. As Clay said simply flash another kernel. Or just flash a ROM and that will fix the problem

OK...I did a wipe of the data/factory reset, cache & Dalvik Cache, rebooted & all is well.
I still have the CWM 5.0.2.8 & my baseband is still UCKH7. Kernel version is 2.6.35.7.
Guess i'd better leave well-enough alone now?
Thanks for the help
Unless you want ICS (meh) or JB goodness!

Well, I was wanting JB, but didn't know if I could jump straight to that from GB.
Yes you can, just download any jb rom now and flash it from your cwm , that's it, please follow instructions word by word from the rom flashing thread, you can try AOKP, AOCP, slimbeans rom for starter. Wipe everything- >cache, data, dalvik cache and format system from mount and storage in cwm
First post on here so no angry clever devs saying I'm posting in the wrong place
Anyway, I'm sort of new to rooting, I know what pretty much everything does, and enjoy flashing my S3. I've had CM10 for a while now, and am currently on the latest 2nd of December nightly build of CM10. Works fine. Tonight I've flashed the 4.2 camera with photosphere and stuff, because I have a thing for the Galaxy Nexus. And due to this love, I really want to get the virtual buttons on the bottom of the screen (the ones that are on a little bar) and I want the actual Nexus ones, the 3, not the search and menu and stuff. I've searched on here already and cant find anything. I tried flashing this one earlier and just got stuck in a boot loop. This always happens every time I try flash the buttons. I've read that its not as simple as just dumping onto the S3, but can anyone help me flash them onto the international i9300 Galaxy S3 on CM10? I really want to try it out.
Any help is appreciated
Cheers
