I got my s3 rooted with CwM v6.0.3.6
I would like to know which would be the best stable rom out there,

And tell me if it is going to be necessary to install the Google Apps and I need to know how to install the Google Apps.
 
Hey mate. Do you want your s3 to stay samsung with all its fancy features or completely abandon samsung and make it more like a nexus with purer google android on it?

P.s, have you made a backup in CWM yet?
 
Mmmm you know what, it would be interesting, I would like to install the 4.3 jelly bean in my s3, but would this S3 phone with its quad core support all of the functionalities of the 4.3 jelly bean?

Yeah I need to back up my present ROM just in case something goes wrong. That is something that a rooter must Always do before installing other ROMS. Gonna back it up to my FAT32 ext Sd card.
 
Yeah defo backup in CWM first man. Im actually running 4.3.1 really smooth right now but as i hinted at, youll lose the samsung shit, S-voice, Smart-Stay, excellent camera, the best battery life. In return your phone will feel 2ce as responsive as an off-the-shelf s4 and look a lot nicer lol ;)

EDIT and with non samsung roms, yeah you flash a zip file containing all the google apps (gapps) after flashing the rom :)
 
So let me get this straight
this means that haveing the most recent update installed of android 4.3.1
I would sacrifice some features, Most importantly for me would be battery.

Oh I see now, only with custom made ROMS I would have to install the Google Apps, but how would I install the Google Apps?
Using my laptop or flashing it in my cellphone?
 
Youre completely correct and you flash gapps the exact way as you flash the rom, using CWM.
Mate there are so many good 4.3 roms around now, what are you looking for? I can only recommend my favourite right now Liquid Smooth, and i could upload the very latest version for you.
First. What about your apps? Have you backed them up with an app like Titanium Backup Pro? :beer:
 
All righty then,
Yeah man, pass me the link so I can download and install the fancy 4.3.1 liquid smooth,
OK I already backed up my system apps+user apps with data included with titanium backup no pro.

I have 1 question, I am not in the mood for buying apps in Google play store, I would like to get the Titanium backup pro version, I downloaded the titanium backup pro key from **modremoved** and installed it and i think nothing changed from the app.
Is there any way I can get that payed key and get it to really work?
 
OK, I'll step in and say it...

You're not going to get any reply that you like if you ask how to install pirated software. Those discussions aren't allowed here.

The premise is pretty simple. Titanium Backup Pro is worth paying for - you obviously think it is worth using...

The free version works well except you can't do the batch restore. That is the reason I myself purchased the pro version. However you could always use My Backup Root which does allow you to batch restore and is free. :)
 
Alright sorry about the piracy thing, :o
Now I know that must be a policy of this website.
Well then I am gonna buy the T. Backup pro, but not right now, I lack of :( $$ at the moment.
I think T. Backup pro can save your internal SD and ext Sd card files to the cloud right? Doest matter if i have 80 gb of memory used in my phone right ?
 
I apologize again about the piracy thing. Jiji no wonder no one didn't answer my question.

What do you all think about ROM TOOL BOX PRO and ROM MANAGER PRO?

Click to expand...

I have Rom Tool Box Pro...I used it to install fonts :p I don't use it for much else that I can use recovery for or dedicated apps for...such as apps for kernel tweaks etc. All in all, its a very nice app:)
I don't use Rom Manager Pro at all, sorry.
 
Hey allan a. k. a. funkylogic
Thanks:thumbup::beer: for letting me know about liquidsmooth v2.10 it's awesome! Already installed it.
It's very fast! It's the 4.3 version. 4.3 would be the same version as 4.3.1? right? And I already had my purchased the Nova Launcher Prime so that makes it more awesome than expected.

And last night i installed the TWRP V. 2.6.3.0 replacing the CWM V. 6.0.3.6
Pretty easy to install 2. :D
 
Hey bro. Glad you went legit.
Nah, Cyanogen Mod (CM) is by far the most popular rom. Theyre a huge team, people buy them a lot of phones so theyre very fast at making roms from new versions of android (took them about a week to get 4.3 running lol)
Their roms are very very basic and close to pure android though. Some people like that, some peopele prefer roms by people who use CM's work to build from (like LS, etc)
I prefer the modded hybrid roms like LS, SB, etc and right now im using CarbonRom (very fast)
Most of these roms have the same kind of features now though. Its gettin hard to choose a 4.3 rom tbh :beer:
 
What's does a Hybrid rom look like? What's the difference between a hybrid and regular custom ROM??
LS? What's LS?
So Cyanogen Mod is basic then closer to Android, nah I prefer modded ROMS. Yeah! I looked at your profile before and saw that your using carbon mod.

What's LS and SB?
 
Hybrid ROMs are ROMs that cherry pick different features from other ROMs. For instance CM is as pure to Android as you get, paranoid android has its hybrid features with Pie and Halo and AOKP has its own unique features.

A hybrid rom, let's use illusion for instance, is based off the SlimBean rom but has Halo and Pie added into it. PACman rom is based of CM, PA and AOKP so has every single feature of these ROMs available :thumb:
 
Alright now is see! :thumbup: a HYBRID ROM Is more better than a regular ROM.
IS CARBON ROM a hybrid ROM?
what kind of unique features do the hybrid ROMS have?
 
Yeah youre right. Theyre based on pure Nexus android but have extra features that the community want.
Id say AOKP or Paranoid Android are the popular hybrid roms.
Carban has all of their features (i think) but is megafast on the international s3.
Im running the latest Carbon nightly right now that i can fully vouch for.
Illusion is usually my favourite hybrid rom but theyve just reased their 2.6stable (4.3.1) rom and THE CAMERA DOESNT WORK!! wtf lol, thats not stable. Ive reported it and im sure theyll fix it in a few days :)
