    Root [International] Help: Going back to stock, wipe flash count

    Hi all, Selling my S3 soon and would like to sell it on the stock ROM with a reset flash count. I think I've done the research, but wanted to validate it. 1. Download the top file on this list 2. Install and run Triangle Away to reset flash count (risky!) 3. Enter recovery 4. Full system...

    Root [International] AOSP ROM with decent battery, minimal bugs?

    Are there any AOSP ROMs with decent battery life and minimal bugs? Android 4.2 is preferable, 4.3 seems a bit sketchy right now. I really am loving Illusion ROM, but my God it drinks battery!

    Where to try in UK, and what's next?

    Hi all, Ever since getting an S3 and understanding that Android isn't just Android, like iOS is just iOS (came from a stream of iPhones), I've always wondered if I'd have been better off with a Nexus 4. In recent months I've found myself flashing AOSP style ROMs to my phone to get rid of the...

    Root [International] AOSPA & Custom Recovery - Help me get up to date!

    Basically I'm way out of date, which is unlike me. I'm on WanamLite 5.8, which came out several months ago, and CWM Touch 6.0.2.7. Yep, really outdated. I'd like to try an AOSP style ROM, and found Paranoid Android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745003 1. Is this any...

    Root [International] Updating WanamLite from MR2 (v5.8)

    Hi, Looking to update my WanamLite ROM from a fairly old version (5.8). Thing is, this particular version used the MR2 base, which seemed to cause problems for people updating to 5.9. Do I need to do a full wipe to update to the latest WanamLite (6.8) - base ME2? If so, how do I go...

    Root [International] WanamLite MR2 - MMS not working

    I realise I'm one or two versions behind the latest Wanam version now, but I've read that to update you are forced to do a full erase, and should not restore app data. As the meme goes, "ain't nobody got time fo' that". This ROM has been excellent so far. Recommended to me by SUroot here...

    Root [International] WanamLite 5.8 with JB Domination 1.6 - FCs

    Hi, Updated my i9300 to the latest (non-leaked) WanamLite build - v5.8, and re-flashed JB Domination (v1.6). This resulted in a massive number of FCs upon reboot/opening apps such as Messaging/Settings. Luckily did a nandroid backup, so have since restored that. All fine for now, but...

    Root [International] "Stock-like" Android (JB+) ROM for unlocked i9300

    Hi all, I've been looking into rooting and flashing my i9300 for a while now. I've basically tried to revert TouchWiz back to stock Android by installing mods from the official Play Store, but it doesn't quite cut it. I just want Android. I don't want what Samsung thinks Android should be...

    Help Default app bug

    I'm not sure how widespread this is, but apparently there's an issue with Jelly Bean and default apps. Only certain apps, though. It's on the Swiftkey forums, and various other forums on the web. In my experience, Swiftkey and Launchers do not stay as default. Chrome, YouTube, and the Play...

    Current global market share? (Not just Q3!)

    Hi all, Quite new here - recently moved from iOS to an SGS3 so found this place whilst looking to answers to pre-purchase questions. Certainly my first post outside of the S3 forum, so hello! I'm looking for the current total global market share of Android, iOS and the others...

    Help WiFi constantly downloading?

    Hey all, Been getting used to my S3 and Android recently. Coming from 4 years of iPhones it was a big change. So far, loving it. However, this evening I have noticed my WiFi has been downloading for hours and hours. Even after a few restarts and clearing memory of running processes...

    Potentially moving from iOS..!

    Hi all, Recently been looking at various phones to replace my iPhone 4. I have personally always thought that the iPhone 3G, 4 and 4S were the best phones available at the time of their respective releases. With that in mind, I waited 8 months past the end of my iPhone 4 contact date for the...
