I recently purchased the galaxy s3 and am quite happy with it, put adw launcher pro made a few tweaks got the jellybean update and am satisfied with everything it does.
My question is what is the need for flashing new Roms or rooting the device? What is the purpose and benefits?
I'm new to all of this and would love some briefing!

Hey guys,
First post here
Literally just flashed my S3 the other day to cm10 jelly bean ressurection remix the other day, and although its fast and what I'm after, it just doesn't feel as stable or, ERM how to put it...'authentic' as stock jelly bean on the nexus.
My dilemma is, I'm actually thinking of selling my S3 for galaxy nexus.
Opinions?

I'm not sure what you mean by "authentic"...?
The S3 still has way better specs, and pair it with AOSP and its far better than a Galaxy Nexus

Yup, basically all Nexii are AOSP and the only reason the S 3 is really "worse" is because of touchwiz and slower update (of course tw is a preference thing).
But all CM roms are AOSP so you pretty much have the nexus thing going on your S3

I've been following multi window since the note 2 was released and everything I've read says its to heavily integrated into touchwiz for it to be portable, we will most likely not see multi window until we get a 4.1.2 touchwiz leak

If we ever get the OTA it will have this.
After looking through the code/mods for the SGS2 mutliwindow mod, its not really portable to I535VRBLK3. The smali code mods/deletions arent there in 4.1.1 TW builds. And it looks like the Window Manager smali code would have to be completely re-written.
It might be possible to write a multiwindow mod from scratch for 4.1.1 TW, but you'd have to really know alot about smali code.
So, while it may be possible, its not probable that it will happen in 4.1.1 TW builds.

ok i'm confused lol the I9300 is a galaxy s3 not s2 right? The link I posted in op is for the I9300? But it did say 4.1.2 and our leaks are 4.1.1 so my belief would be it would work if we had 4.1.2 so I guess my question would be how different is the framework between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 or between the I9300 and the I575 ? still learning so any help would be very much appreciated.

The really big difference beteween the intl (I9300) and the I535 is the architecture. Intl S3 has a quad core proc, so any build would be totally incompatible between the two.
The posted mod for the S2 seemed more viable to me, but the 4.1.2 TW build has some hidden stuff in it that just isn't in 4.1.1 TW builds.
In short, a 4.1.2 TW build with multiwindow pretty much already there (like the build that the S2 got) is what we need. Also, don't forget, this is part of TouchWiz, not android, so the code isn't freely available anywhere. We get to rely on VZW/Samsung for scraps from the table.
Hope that helps,
ALQI
Helps a lot thanks!

If say sprint gets a 4.1.2 leak, could the leak be ported to the vzw s3 and then someone add the multi view window feature from a note 2?

If sprint gets 4.1.2 its probably already gonna have it, but until 4.1.2 I don't see this happening, I been trying for weeks now but as I said before maybe a more talented dev can get it working but I wouldn't count on it.

Over in the sprint s3 section there is a 4.1.1 touchwiz rom with multi view somewhat working

If you want aosp/aokp then go to Verizon galaxy s3 original android development and compare the many roms. If it's touch wiz you want then go to Verizon galaxy s3 android development and compare the many roms in that thread. They are all a little different and it depends on what your looking for. The links to flash are right there on the 1st page of the op. To ask someone for best rom and link sounds a little lazy to me. What if someone sent you wrong link and you ended up bricking your phone. Wouldn't you like to do a little research and make sure your getting the right zip? Just my opinion but what do I know.

Hello, I'm not sure if there is a thread to my subject or not but anyway, I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, rooted and running CM10.0 stable. My question is why does the media hub for Samsung not work, when I go to add account it says it needs to update then it freezes up. I was able to finally download the media hub apk and it runs but I can't watch anything, even my paid movies that I download won't play. I've looked everywhere please help

You need to be running a stock ROM or a stock ROM with tweaks.

Please don't dig up old threads to add the same information that has already been given. Generally if a thread hasn't been written in for two or more weeks, it's dead.
So I'm buying this tablet today. Can you gentlemen/ladies... help guide me with some resources to get rooted, w custom recovery, ROMS, themes etc. Much appreciated... Yes I've been looking, but I'm looking for guidance and wisdom from those of you who have been following this tablet... Thanks in advance!

Not really much, we have cm11 but without working cameras that's in general named some things for the ltet217s which is really about it. Theyres a custom touchwiz ROM from mijah that's really just themed and that's about it...

Check out the nocturnal rom once you get rooted. It's themed and runs really smooth that and it's one of the only ones available. This is definitely not the most popular tab out there but it's pretty solid. I have no complaints and I'm used to the best of the best when it comes to Android phones. Plus it's another device to root and play around with. Sorry I don't have an odin, but I'm pretty sure there is one in the development section. Samsung devices are pretty easy to root, probably the easiest out there.
