    Root [International] Finally some battery life on 4.2

    I've been playing with many roms (liquidsmooth / CM / Wanam / Omega) out there running 4.2, but all of them have been giving me terrible battery life. Mainly due to the stock kernel - who's been eating up up too 75 percent of my juice after a full charge. However, I've installed Jellybam 6.5 a...

    Just a tip: Free office Suit

    There's a pretty new app called CloudOn that might be of use to some people here. You can link it to your dropbox/drive/box/skydrive account and it gives you full ms office functionality for free - provided you work online. The catch is that it only works on like 5 devices - but the Galaxy S3...

    Root [International] Titanium Backup Pro problem

    As of recently Titanium Backup Pro (one of the few apps I bought legally through the Playstore) has been having some hickups on my S3. Even though the unlock key for the pro version has been installed, TBP doesn't see the license. I use the same app bought with the same google ID on my other...

    Root [1st Gen] Rom Advice

    I'm not a huge fan of the stock rom &launcher, but it has one essential feature that keeps dragging me back to it. I use my kindle 75% of the time for reading books and magazines and the way stock separates the Newsstand from the Books is is just really functional. Is there any other rom that...

    I want to flash the latest JB leak (this one: Update Samsung Galaxy S3 To Android 4.1.1 I9300XXDLH9 Jelly Bean (Leaks Version) | RootGalaxyS3) I presume I will lose root when I flash this. My question: Is it safe to re-root while on this JB rom, or is that just pushing it?

    I've been going through the All Things Root thread for a couple of days and it's all bricked-phone this, kext-problem that and drivers-distaster galore. However necessary these posts are (and I will try to help the posters where I can) they might scare people away from rooting. Nay! I just feel...

    Not a huge fan of the stock dailer. The buttons are so big that I feel I have to punch them with my fist. Tried Go Dailer, but I don't like how it deals with my skype vs phone contacts. Which dailer do you guys use that fits the s3 screen best?

    Volume buttons

    Up until today I could use the physical volume control buttons on the side of my s3 to control the volume of my mp3 player. But since this afternoon these buttons only control the volume of the telephone. I have to go into the volume menu to turn my music up or down. Any tips on how to change...

    Anyone else having problems with the communication between the standard mail widget and the mail app? They seem to sync at different times, but both send notifications - so those come in twice. Same problem when deleting mails: when I delete an email from within the app, it stays visible (and...
