Galaxy S3 news and more !!

Of course it's the latest and greatest. That's just the fact of the matter. Jelly Bean update is out on the international version and could easily be rolled out on the U.S. versions, but instead they want to sell it with outdated software. The GSIII Mini even comes with Jelly Bean out of the box! Samsung and the U.S. carriers playing politics as usual. No wondering some people will never buy a Samsuck phone again. Oops... I mean Samsung.


:eek::eek::eek: Haha I think you mean crapple not Samsung, soon as the Gs4 is announced watch the preorders skyrocket lol.
 
Did Samsung tell you this personally or do you work for them?

Sorry not meaning to attack you but lets not talk about this stuff anymore as it seems like we are attacking each other lets stay on topic so the mods will not have to become the bad guys. And lets hope for the best I hope JB will roll out soon afterward so all of us are satisfied but for me lol cant wait to get the phone so I can explorer the awesomeness.

That's all we can do, right? Hope for the best!
 
In simply stating that I'd they rush the update, it will be bug infested, and in turn will suck. Yes, jb is available to those of us who root our devices, and on the nexus devices of course. But when it comes to oem builds, the manufacturer is going to put their ui on it and that will take a little more time. If people want to run stock jb, then it's best to let Samsung smooth out any issues and make sure it runs. If you are impatient, and jb is really that important, then don't complain about it not having jb, just root itit

Agreed. What I would do is flash AOKP or CM10 and then when the JB images and files come out, flash them and make a backup so you will have a fully stock JB backup and then go back to AOKP or CM10. I'd choose AOKP because it is basically CM10 on steroids. So many more options than CM10. After finding AOKP for the Gnex, I wouldn't think of ever running a different ROM. Plus they have an app called the "kangerator" that has all the recent builds and info so you dont have to search around to find the latest build when it comes out. Very convenient. The people behind AOKP are way ahead of the folks behind CM IMO.

But thats what I would do. Flash AOKP or Cm10 and wait for the images and files to come out for JB and then revert back to those and then make a backup of stock JB so you'll have one on hand then go back to whatever ROM you choose to run.

I've seen people mention AOKP before. I thought it was AOSP? Are the two the same, or different? Thanks.

Android Open Kang Project-AOKP

Andoid open Source Project-AOSP


AOKP is like CyanogenMod but better. Still based on stock builds and retains all stock features but has plenty on implementations. For example, since I put AOKP on my Nexus I can change the color of any of the Icons in the status bar. I have 3-4 different batteries to choose from. I can move the clock anywhere I want on the status bar, etc.... Shit like that is what AOKP enables you to do. it's amazing to say the least.

Just to give you an idea of how many more people use AOKP compared to CM10 for the Nexus is about 4 to 1. For every 4 users of AOKP there is 1 user of CM10.

Obviously cyanogenmod is well known and is still a very good ROM, Im not taking anything away from them. But AOKP does things that CM just doesn't do and adds a lot more features to the phone literally enabling you to do whatever you want. If it's available for the GS3, which it should be, I would def. look into it OVER Cm10. you wont be disappointed.

It started up about a year ago which is why it hasn't got the recognition that CM has gotten but it wont take long.

Thanks for that great explanation. I knew that AOSP was Android Open Source Project, but had never heard of Kang. That's good to know about, 'cause for the Optimus M, we had CM7 and some Froyo ROMs.

While ago when someone asked if gs3 was coming for metro I thought it was a damn joke metro getting the gs3 right we are not even getting the galaxy nexus that came out year ago so forget getting the gs3 right after it came out but metro is getting incredible. Its amazing we are getting a flagship lol when the esteem was coming out I was dying to get it because its Metropcs and that phone was the best of all. And I'm;) sure you guys remember the crazy delays with the esteem as well. Anyway look at us now we are getting the best phone in the world btw don't care about the new nexus. Gs3 is still the best and will be for while

All the great devs and people are there so its all good. Can't wait to get the phone ics is so awesome Android is so awesome gs3 is so awesome OK so you know what I mean
 
Question i have with aokp is do they support as many devices as cm? I know there is a version or two of cm8-10 for basically every android device and many ios and Windows phones. Does aokp support as many devices? I never looked into that as i been rocking with cm10 for awhile
