Just switched from ios to droid - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey everybody I just switched to DROID from using ios the past 4 years and I'm really happy with my choice. The iPhone 5 was the last straw for me so instead I picked up a feature packed galaxy siii. I want to thank you guys for the tutorials you guys have posted as it really helped in understanding how to flash the custom roms. I have my siii set just how I want. I just have one question if someone doesn't mind answering. When the official jellybean update comes out will I need to revert back to stock rom to update or can I update ota on a custom rom? Please excuse me if I didn't post this in the right section. This is my first post. Thanks for all your hard work.

I believe you would have to revert to stock and then do the ota.

Just wait for one of the Devs to do their magic on Jelly bean when it comes out. I'm sure it wont take them to long to do.

Congrats! Btw, if you're already running a custom rom, then you should probably just wait until the developer updates it, or install a new JellyBean rom when you're ready.

Take it easy on me lol

It kinda depends on how long you are willing to wait for the update. You definitely won't be able to accept the OTA update if you are running a custom rom, but devs will have a flashable version on XDA available almost immediately after the official is released. A couple of days later custom roms will start appearing.
Another reason to wait is there is always the possibility that the update will in some way disable root. This has happened before with several VRZ phones. So I would wait(a couple of hrs) till XDA gets their hands on the update before making any moves.

wait for a dev to release the official TouchWiz JB, then wipe data from cwm recovery and flash away. Fyi there currently is a TouchWiz JB leak by Incubus in the dev section, but its has bugs...If your looking for stability; Touchwiz ICS>AOSP(paranoidandroid,aokp,cm10)>Touchwiz JB Leak

And to help you, Synergy is a very stable ICS touchwiz ROM. Paranoid is a very great ROM but it might be a bit confusing for you since you're new with the tablet mod n tweaking APKs and such. CM10 is good but I like AOKP better for the customization

Nitro dont release builds based on a leaks...so until we get a official Touchwiz JB rom from VZW I doubt he will release anything!

Welcome to the Android community!
There are lots of good ROM choices and Jelly bean is available as a teaser if you'd like to check it out
My favorite ICS ROM is Synergy
My favorite JB ROM is Jellywiz
Enjoy and happy flashing !!!

You can make a nandroid backup of your current setup which saves everything, all your data/games. and try one of the current JB roms. I am currently on ICS cleanrom, and been thinking about waiting for a 100% working one to come around. The nandroid backup is so you can easily go back to your old setup if you don't like the newer rom.

He's working on an aosp JB build, has a working alpha right now, but until he gets his device this week, he can't work out the bugs quickly. You will see eclipse...I'm guessing pretty quickly after he gets his phone
He will have a TW Rom out...but I'm sure he will wait for the official JB build for that.

I second that!! Cleanrom is a GREAT first rom and it gives you a chance to mess with overclocking a lil too... Just go in SMALL steps... Although mine is a champ at 1.99ghz & stable as hell! You will finally feel the freedom that you get with Android! OPEN SOURCE baby!! No more damn itunes and buying stuff that isn't really yours..? :laugh: Have a GREAT time surfing the threads but just take some time to read the rules as well cause they are quick to break you off some!

G2x
Will it even be worth it to put JB on the G2X given the fact that we still don't have drivers for ICS?
If you can't live with how ICS runs you'll definitely regret flashing JB. Awesome work that they actually have it booted and semi functional at this stage.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Until we get necessary drivers for hardware acceleration on ICS, JB will perform just like ICS at best on this phone. I'm sure all of the devs on it are working hard to get all they can functional, props to Team EB for getting it booted, but we're lucky to have ICS hacked together for us, JB is pushing it on this phone. Just my opinion, take it how you want .

SGS3 Vanilla JB Rom?

Hello, so far I stuck with stock roms... first ICS now leaked JB... I really would like a plain vanilla jb rom still retaining the great features of the SGS3... can anybody point me in the right direction?

No such thing, as vanilla android is unaltered, i.e. the nexus devices.
I would say that cyanogen mod is probably as close as you'll get. Aokp is close too but has much more customization options.

There isn't one. Use cm10 and don't use the customization. Also you will not have the s3 features like motion controls, camera, etc.
You're best bet is to try a couple out and find what works for you.

I'm gonna work on building vanilla JB rom as soon as the semester ends......don't have enough time till then :\ Should be convenient timing as a lot of the leg-work is already complete
I've already started working on one, but its not looking very promising so far. Its really really difficult getting the build to cooperate, and then once I finally do get it to cooperate thenaybe it won't take too long to get some of the initial kinks ironed out so people can start testing. But at least if I cannot get the bugs worked out enough to post it for people to use there is someone else who will begin working on it shortly. So hopefully we will have a pure AOSP ROM soon, one way or another.

Omega ROM
Give Omega ROM a try, there is an optional to remove all SGS3 default bloatware that comes with it when you flash the ROM.
I am using it because this ROM is having all other SGS3 features like the motion control, stock camera, etc.:good:

Well, first of all....YOU! Welcome Back, my friend! I sure do hope that hand has healed up nicely with no future problems for you.
So, what do we want for Christmas, eh? I'm probably an easy one but I'm going to say it anyway. I would LOVE to see you resurrect Wildchild ICE into AOKP Wildchild Ice Cream & Jelly Sandwich with possibly another seldom seen launcher installed like perhaps the one for the LG. I HAVE seen that one and it's VERY nice, IMHO.
Oh yeah, and WELCOME BACK!!!:good:
How about cm 10.1?

I also had some phone problems lol.....so I ordered a replacement last week and rooted/full S-Off'd yesterday. So I'm back on the scene
Ideally, a wildchild ice that has great battery like the previous ones, but with cm 10.1 and the latest AOKP. And of course it should work well with scverhagens kernels.
Glad to see you're back!

We-we-we-welcome breaker. I mean... Welcome back!
Any ROM which has awesome battery life and smooth performance is fine by me. Thank you.
I know I'll get flamed for this but the latest Sense that works with JB...
I have been enjoying Virtuous on ICS lately and it's time for a change.
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using xda premium
I wouldn't mind a JB Sense rom, but we'd need a kernel just as good as our AOSP one to match
Maybe you could revive your CM/AOKP hybrid, it was one of my favorite ICS roms
I'd love to see a JB version of WiFi calling.
Oh, a Sense4+ JB ROM would be the *&*^! :fingers-crossed:
Maybe I'm the oddball, but I'd like to see an extremely stable AOSP ROM for Gingerbread. Since the source code has been released, I think that would be a relatively easy ROM to make. I'm still seeing some issues with the ICS and JB ROMs I'm running. I have a tendency of running an ICS/JB ROM for a while, then switching back to GB because of it's stability.
I wanna see Paranoid Android 3+ compiled for our device.

maybe I'll go for paranoid first because that will be the easiest (not necessarily easy, but easiest lol). Then I'll re-tackle WildJelly that was never released from it not being done. WildJelly is basically a Jellybean version of WildchildIcE :fingers-crossed:

Just curious, why do you want a 3.4 kernel in particular?
I just love the sense based Roms specially because of the amazing camera app, it takes wonderful shots; but I didn't find a stable one with satisfactory battery life time uptill now!
I changed the stock gingerbread rom just because it didn't support Arabic I tried all the patches but they never worked.
Anyway, my dream rom for that phone would be a stable sense based JB or Kitkat rom that don't drain the battery in 3 hours ; )

No roms being updated to OTA VRBMD3?

Now that VRBMD3 is out I have keeping keeping my stink eye on the roms looking for some good ones to update but none of them have. What's the deal?
You weren't looking hard enough as bone stock ROM, plasma and the new core ROM are based on the recent OTA. Also just because there is a new ota out doesn't mean the devs are going to rush to release their ROMs they will take their time. So have patience the ROMs will be updated in due time.
Obviously you don't appreciate, devs have lives to live too mot just you, just wait and be patient. Devs have already took them to as they are now long enough only to start over on a new base moving mods and squashing out bugs. The time will come just be patient or if not just build your own md3 rom.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yeah basically all the devs were in the middle of fixing bugs in their mb1 ROMs when the md3 update was release. So the developers either have to stop work on that to do an update based on md3 or do what andybones did and release two versions one based on mb1 and one based on md3.

I think the new base is running just fine, granted you do not use MD3 modem, and stick with MB1 (I posted a great .zip for a great combo of firmware, in the OP of my ROM thread, under downloads). Although, I find multi windows useless. It's still fun for me to play and DEV with.
Check my ROM out though, if you'd like

Which 4.1.2 ROM do you recommend?

Giving my wife the White Galaxy S3 Verizon for Xmas and wanted to get recommendation which stock based ROM to install?
1. Hyperdrive
2. Jelly "Beans"
3. Axis
4. stock Verizon 4.1.2
5. other 4.1.2 based
I'm primarily interested in rock solid stability, and some of the Touchwiz experience. She might be getting the Note 3 in the future so I want her to get used to using some of Samsung apps. I have a second S3 for me and I'm testing 4.4 roms, currently installed CyanFox. So please keep discussion relevant to 4.1.2 roms and experience. I know 4.3 is out for Verizon, but I'll wait for Devs to build it into ROMs.
thanks and see visist my blog

Lol! Can't go wrong with those.
Light and clean (more optimized, less theming):
Tkrom, bonestock, cleanrom, obsessed
More heavily modified (extra mods and themes,):
Hyperdrive, goodness, axis, jellybeans, moar, wicked sensations, the people's rom
I'm maybe leaving a few out, but look them over and see what you want. If you want something simple and easy you can't go wrong with the top 4.
Some phones handle roms better than others, so if one isn't working out well then don't be afraid to try another.
I also want to point out that you have to make sure your wife's phone isn't on the 4.3 base (vrucml1). If it is, do not flash any custom roms, that bootloader is completely locked down.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I've tried every single 4.1.2 TW rom out there, and my phone seems to run the best (least "Touchwiz" lag) on Hyperdrive with faux kernel. Completely stable, too. I also like the multitude of changes you can apply. However, you really can't go wrong with any of them. They all are great!
Like the above comment mentioned, make sure the OTA wasn't taken, although you probably know this.
They are all great, try them all.
As XDA is not a support site, users are expected to make this determination based on their own, individual use.
