Just today, somebody has posted that ROMs complied in S4 devices are not compatible with S3 Devices. I'm getting my phone tonight. As I'm from SG, it would be an S3 device. I'd like to know which ROMs in the Dev Section are fully compatible with S3 devices.
Thanks.
I have the S3 device too.. singapore too... cheers mate! Problem is.. i dont think there are any.. and i so far as i know.. i cant root the darn thing either...
I am on S3 as well.
Looking forward to an answer to this question.
Have you guys tried some of the existing S4 roms and tested, or you just heard that they are probably not compatible?
I believe the S4 ROMs will work on the S3 versions. The only thing i can imagine going wrong is the boot.img files.
These contain the kernel and im positive that you cannot use an S4 Kernel on an S3 chip and vice versa.
The rest should be fine, all the htc files / framework will all be the same, Its the exact System as it will be on the S3 - SoC
We need some one with some linux experience to dissect boot.img's for both versions and compare them. This should give us an insight as to why CWM and Superboot wont flash on the S3 version.

At the risk of ridicule, here goes; I just changed from DX running Liberty Rom to the latest Galaxy Nexus LTE from Verizon running the latest IC. I can't seem to find a custom rom compatible with this device. I've attempted "codename android" 1.5.5 and 1.6. to no avail. I like the APEX but don't think it's compatible with my OS. Looking for a good compatible rom further customize.
Thanks!
Well, after absolutely no help from the forum, I figured it out on my own. I guess most here forget that they too were noobs at one time. I'll try to be a little more helpful than what I've received this far.
Hi All,
Been on the S3 I9300 for some months now and lucky enough to upgrade to S3 4G in Australia. Found root/cwm but looking for custom roms? Been using Omega V26/27/27.1 and loved it. Assume cant load this to new S3/4G?
Thanks in advance!
No buddy, don't even try it lol! The I9305 has 2gb ram and a 4g receiver, so any ROMs from this section would render those added features unusable. But get a second opinion from a lead developer.

same here, just got it now and wish that there is a custom rom
should of stuck with the i9300
Sent from my checkrom jellybean powered sgs 3
I am out of contract and in the UK, and am undecided about whether to go for the i9300 or i9305 SGS III.
I understand that ROMs for the i9300 won't work for the i9305, but I am wondering, since they share so much hardware, will it not just be a matter of time before i9300 ROMs are ported to i9305?
I would hate to be stuck in a developmental dead end, but obviously LTE and 2GB RAM potentially give the phone better longevity/resale value, and in the meantime at least the i9305 has official Jelly Bean.
Is it safe to say that i9305 will see decent support, or is it too risky to plunge in now, especially at a higher cost than for vanilla i9300?
Answer is unknown at the moment it depends upon the Devs and the firmware structure .

you are right about the better resale and its being more future proof than I9300.
I have already ordered mine through Orange as I was due for an upgrade as i think I9300 will be sooner or later get its own sub forum and roms will start to come out as demands increases..but in the mean time i will just enjoy the stock version
Can anyone please try that?

There are in a special thread for S7560/S7560M (Trend and Ace II x are the same phone with different names) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019146
I've put in a suggestion to make a master thread called Samsung Galaxy Ace (all models incl. Trend) with a subforum for each model since they are different and incompatible as far as firmware, kernel etc. is concerned. There's not much out there yet, the only one that did a JellyBean (unsupported and buggy) and then a KitKat (4.4) firmware stopped since he switched to another model. I've tried the Kitkat but it's simply not finished and will probably never be unless other people take over and give the Ace 2x/Trend a go since it seems they seem to become very common as they are often sold in great bundles around the world.
My thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605722
There are root-kits that flashes CWM-recovery while unrooting in a kit.
Even if your (and mine) phone is named Samsung Galaxy Trend you'll need to get used to call it a Galaxy Ace II x. This is the name of the rootkit with CWM-recovery: Galaxy_S_Ace_2_X_Root_kit.rar
And there are some ROMs (Australia and Guatemala versions with higher firmware version numbers) that can be flashed on any Trend/Ace II x since they aren't country locked or something like that.

thanks for your reply man but that thread was posted long time ago i already tried cm11 and cm10.2 for this device but now i manged somehow to fully brick this phone i cant enter in recovery or download mode when i try to turn it on the phone just shows the samsung galaxy trend and shuts down itself...dont know what to do i lost my warranty paper and threw away the box so i dont know what to do
Hmm, if vol up & down & home & power doesn't take you into recovery or vol down+power+home doesn't take you into download I'm not sure there's much you can do without leaving it to someone with a full JTAG-rig that can read and backup your system partitions (esp. the EFS partition that store your IMEI etc.) and reflash it with a stock ROM + stock partitions.

just search here on xda for s7560m galaxy ace 2x almost same phone model but these versions of cm are full of bugs so i'd suggest you to wait until a fully working version is released.

hye i want to know how to root ly samsung galaxy trend i realy need help because i want to clean up my phone
The phone i am looking to get is called the samsung galaxy appeal in USA, or the samsung galaxy ace q in canada.
the main draw to this phone is its design - a real slide out keyboard.
but im just confused as far as which directions for rooting i would follow? I cant find any directions specific to that phone model, only the "samsung galaxy ace" but that and the phone I want are quite different. the model number for mine is sgh-i827D, if that helps.
My plan was to play around with it and put the latest (stable/recommended) version of android onto the phone before adding any personal touches. I know its operating system is older now but i really do enjoy the physical style of the phone itself.
Any advice would be great, thanks!
If it helps, once i root, as far as i know the only thing id want to do is upgrade the android version.

Latest official Rom--> NOT AVAIABLE (or may be i'm dumb)
But i thought that was the point of rooting, so that way technically every rom is available to every phone?
Ive seen people say they got their regular ace running version 4.4

Ace on 4.4 is possible but not recommended as its just a bit too slow for KitKat. The point is that custom roms are communtity made and if there is no community, bacause of neraly no one owns the phone you have, there will be no custom roms.
I was not even able to find the stock rom for i927D provided b samsung on the internet. I would always inform myself about the abilities to mod a device before buying it.

So where do i go to find out what roms are available?? Im new to the android world...
I was just wondering if it was at all possible to port a rom from the note 2 to the gs3 because last I herd they are basically the same phones, ones just bigger. The reason why is because they have a lot of 4.4.2 touchwiz based roms that I sure would like to run on my galaxy. Now if this is possible would it be easy and wise to use a tool such as the Rom-porting tool found somewhere on these forums? Any and all advice is appreciated and I hope i'm not way off base here. Thanks!

OK, yeah that makes sense. But is it still possible, even if it's not in the way I described?

nothing impossible but porting rom like TW from different device need a hard work and maybe patch the kernel that we cant as locked bootloader.
you can try by replace /app /framework /priv-app worst case is bootloop use port guides iam not a good porter.
