I have had the s3 since the release date a few months back and am quite satisfied so far. Ive been using android since the G1. Though the new ICS/JB builds are nice, I still like the feel of the old build.
Is it possible to revert back to the Android 1.5 Cupcake on my GS3? If so, how would I go about doing so....?
Im rooted, unlocked bootloader, stock Rom, currently running ICS 4.0.4
No you cannot as the phone was specifically made on ics; however you can try themes and such.

I'm currently running the first odin image root back when the GSIII for Verizon just came out. I read a few month back that there was "sprint elements" and a new root image was released. I never bothered to reroot cause I am not having an issues and still am not (although non that I know off). would there be a performance increase if I rerooted?
thank you.

Just "rooting" does not gives you anything except to gives you/us/apps/developers/etc, subsystem access. It is what you do after you have gain root access.

You should flash the lastest JB pre-rooted, it's working wonderful with bunch of new features. I'm using it and it's working great.
could I have a link to this please? (I'm already running JB with cleanrom although)
I am on the Gingerbread KJ6 rom from Samsung. Looking to breathe new life in my old sgs 4g. Which rom/kernel is most compatible and stable right now?
Also can someone recommend a recovery too.
Thnx!

Hi, I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989) for T-Mobile and I might be switching to Verizon and getting the Samsung Galaxy S3. I rooted my S2 and installed the Jedi Mind Trick only a week ago and love it. I had no lag or issues other than an app or 2 crashing. Basically, I want to see what everyone is using for this phone and carrier (Verizon/SG3)...Is there a ROM called the Jedi Mind Trick here for this S3 on Verizon?
Thanks in advance...
Wrong section and there are already numerous threads asking for ROM recommendations.

Development section is only for ROM and kernel release threads. Your question thread should have gone in the Q&A section. Plus there are already quite a few threads asking for ROM recommendations or what ROMs people are running. Search the general and Q&A sections a little and you will find the threads and perhaps get an idea of what ROM you might want to run based on the responses in those already existing threads.

1) wrong section.
2) how hard would it be to look in the development threads and look to see if that ROM is available? The search button really was created for purpose not just looks .
but this phone is great, you'll love it, and there are a number of wonderful ROMs to choose from.

Thanks! Looking forward to changing carriers..
Why is this in development?!!!!
Also why is this even asked?

So since Verizon is starting to push out the 4.2.2 my phone is now complaining that it wants to update. I don't really want to be forced into a new ROM whenever Verizon thinks it's a good time so I'm looking at my options for rooting and going with a custom ROM. However, I can't find which ROMs allow and which ones disallow the OTAs.
These two sound pretty good:
CleanRom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832070
BoneStock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275376
Is there a way to know without installing it?
Thanks,
-Greg
Install any rom you want just delete the smd.apk with titanium backup and you won't get bugged for an ota and to be exact it's 4.1.2 ota.

Good call, I'll do that. Thanks!
Synergy and Hyper-drive are both excellent if you like stock plus S4 apps and customization options.

Hey all,
I've looked through threads here and I'm just overwhelmed. I had my S3 rooted on 4.1.2 but Verizon kept coming up with these updates that I could either defer for 5 days or...update. When I chose update, it took me back to TeamWin. So I redid a fresh format from the TeamWin screen (I really don't mind rebuilding my phone and contacts) and I was able to update to 4.2.2 after that but but I'm still getting that Verizon update warning.
First of all, how do re-root my phone with 4.2.2? I thought TeamWin would disappear but it didn't. So I went back to that screen and went to Download. Now I'm on a screen with the Android robot that says "Downhloading... Do not turn off target !!"
I'm not sure what it's downloading.
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. I would be fine with a moderating moving it.
Thanks a lot!
First, this is T-Mobiles forum, you want Verizons.
Second, if twrp is still installed all you need to do is flash the SuperSU or superuser zip you can find eith a quick search.
Third, that is download mode. Only for use with Odin.
Fourth, considering you don't know these things, I suggest you read up on some of the many guides you can find here on xda.

I highly suggest you do quite a bit of reading before you start messing with rooting and flashing roms. You could very easily brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing or if you flash a file that isn't meant for your phone.

Also it is VERY important you be in the correct device forum. There are 5 S3 forums.
Moved to Verizon S3 Q&A
Verizon does not have an official 4.2.2. We are still on 4.1.2 MF1 as the official. If you have 4.2.2 it is from a rom you have flashed.

Only the S4 have Touchwiz 4.2.2 so we will assume that you are talking about AOSP roms as they are 4.2.2. Please be clear in your post so we can help you. Now to teach you about download mode it's there for you to flash stock Touchwiz back to your device via a software called Odin. Now what you just ask about (download mode) you could have Google searched it yourself and got your answers faster.
