we need kernel source. After that it will be just a matter of time. The International HOX also shares a chipset with the Nexus 7 so that helps

Any news on getting that kernel source?
I'm assuming that we wont have full AOSP roms until we have that source?
Any news on getting S-OFF?
Man, I really cant stand sense anymore

Have you tried the CM9 ROM in development or the AOKP ROM over on Rootzwiki? They are both functional enough to be used as a daily driver.
Why do we need S-off? We can already do basically everything through recovery without it. Would it be nice to have, sure I guess, but definitely not needed.

Kernel source will be released. Could be soon, could be September. We don't know when. But it will be released. Once it is available we will have answers.

yea s-off isn't needed, but nice to have.
i've been following the cm9 thread, and it seems great but ive been using my camcorder almost non-stop and i'll miss it for sure

I saw on one of the threads for either MIUI or CM9 but I don't remember which that someone got the camcorder working? I have the file in my download folder on my phone but I haven't tried it yet. I'm just keeping it for if and when I decide to try out MIUI or CM9.

I loaded an unofficial CM9 Alpha 5 ROM on my North American HTC One X and the camera worked, although nowhere near as good as the camera app in the stock HOX software. Camcoder was flaky and crashed periodically. A video I posted on YouTube circa 4:50 has a demo of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPi8a5SvJvQ.
If interested, the build I loaded was the alpha5 in the thread "[ROM][WIP] Unofficial CM9 Port - Alpha 5" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688448. Beware of rapid battery drain if you choose to load this alpha5 build I recommend taking 30 minutes and reading through the thread prior to flashing this ROM for details.
Note, however, that this ROM is based off Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), not 4.1 (Jelly Bean), so this discussion might be a little off topic for this thread

Just switched from ios to droid

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! (mods) LOL

rom for wife..

my wife and i switched from verizon to tmobile a few months ago. she knew i was flash happy and after number comments about rooting her phone , i did so one night after work.. so right now she is on a stock rom, i'd like to get her onto something non-stock, but i need it to be stable & jb based, functional camera... i'm running a 4.1.2 jb on my s2 and just want them to be somewhat similar in the event she has a problem im not clueless to it..
any suggestions?? i'm leaning towards the aokp thats out.. much thanks..

I'm using canogenmod official and love it. Just my 2 cents.

This. CM10 is about as stable as you are gonna get atm. Funny thing is most ROMs atm are CM based so tbh you should be fine with any of them.

If you want to avoid dealing with minor problems. I would say cm10 is your best bet for your wife.

I would also say CM10 or either of the SlimBeans.

Android 4.3

I'd like to know what everyone's thoughts are one 4.3 on their S3 so far. I know the 4.3 roms are still in beta, but who anyone consider them daily drivers or are they still just something to tinker with? Thanks for all replies.

Im running PA 4.3 right now and its fine for a DD. The camera can be a bit weird but it works fine 95% of the time. Battery life is amazing running LK. I thought I would have to flash back to TW, but I think im staying with PA for a while.

I figured that would be the one problem if there was any, but that's just how it goes I guess. Thanks for the input. Would you say besides the camera issue, 4.3 is have a noticeable difference that's better than 4.1 and 4.2?

4.3
Any increase in performance?

Sorry guys, this is the first time i've ever run an ASOP rom so I can't tell you about 4.2. I was TW since day one. I was fed up being so far behind in updates that I had to try something. Did my research and decided on PA. The differences I have found are mainly app side. More integration and fluidity between apps and tasks. No reboots or any major bugs have come up. I like the stock android feel. I miss the TW camera but I have a feeling a mod will come around for 4.3.

I'm on PAC man 4.3 and it is so sweet

What's the name of the camera app? I'm thinking about going to this ROM from CM10.1, but I want a good camera.

New Kit Kat builds

Just wondering if anyone has any information about the kitkangs on android file host. I searched for d2lte and d2vzw and found them with the former search. One was resurrection remix I forgot what the other was. Both were built on the same date. I'll probably stick with lollipop but might go back if I can't get the universal moga driver to work after disabling SELinux. Or setting it to permissive. I also like the lock screen better on kk. Here's the link.

Thanks for the reply shapes, yeah, I just happened upon the two roms while looking for new Lollipops I may have missed. And was wondering why all of a sudden someone had built new KK roms for our devices. Maybe to include new updates from CM maybe? I don't know. Hence my question, I guess, I should ask the builder of the rom's themselves to find the answer.

Probably your best bet. It doesn't seem to me like kk builds are being made anymore but of course I could be wrong
