Any apps/ adjustment/ settings ANYTHING would be much appreciated. Im trying to get the most out of my S3. Im on stock rooted JB (Note that I'm not interested in flashing rom...) Thanks !!
I have 1 suggestion for now. Use X-plore as the file manager. It has root browser and everything. No ads and it's free. Really great file manager that I've just discovered last week after 6 months using Astro.
Cpu sleeper. Custom kernel (I use ktoonz).
Can't think of more of top of my head other than typical "going thru settings"to customize further.
I use stock rooted as well. The kernel change only to get better life out of battery and performance to device.
T-Mobile Galaxy S 3, stock and rooted.
I'm on stock rooted as well (need TW for wifi calling) and I've found my experience is vastly improved with Apex launcher. There are a good number of launchers out there, so you can try a few and see what you like.
Other than that, it's just stuff that caters to my interests.
Go to dev settings and turn animations and stuff from 1x to .5x.

Wifi calling is a feature on stock tmobile phones that allows you to make calls via your wifi connection and not use any minutes. AOSP doesn't have it on our phone. It is for those that live in poor signal areas and still need their phone for calls.

Get the app Boot animations by Jrummy Apps Inc. You can change your boot animations to something cool!
Also try out Nova launcher or any other launchers. You can change animations themes all kinds of stuff.
Root browser is really usefull also.
Adfree block ads but disables websites like ad.fly etc
Rom toolbox. Just got this one you can do so much but make sure you know what you're doing lol.
Depends on what you're looking for, and what kind of rooted user you are.
For me, all of these are essential tools to have on hand, whether or not I need to use them at the moment.

Boot animations can only be changed of you're running a custom kernel.
Otherwise they have to be .qmg files which I don't believe that app supports

Hello all!
Long time lurker new poster So I rooted my phone a couple weeks ago and I have messed around with a few ROMS, always looking for SGH-M919 ROMS only because my phone is an original tmobile phone. I rooted it with files that stated it was for multiple platforms (IE Tmobile, Sprint, ATT etc). Well I have been having a few issues with every rom, mainly involving crashes (hard lock and reboot) when using bluetooth connectivity.
I am wondering if this has something to do with the fact that it seems my model number has changed. It was original SGH-M919 and now it is a GT-I9505G. Would this have been caused by the root? I am certain I am only installing ROMS for the SGH-M919 (Currently on Danvdh GE 4.4.2). Is there a possibility that the model number change is affecting the ROMS installed and causing the bluetooth connectivity issues I am having?
Thanks again for all your help!
Those galaxy roms can change your model number.

**THIS IS NOT MY WORK... SIMPLY PULLED FROM INTERNATIONAL ROM!!!!**
Install Instructions:
1. Go into a root explorer to system/priv-app
2. Find "SecMms_Blue.apk" and "SecContacts_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk" and add ".bak" to both of them
3. Now copy and paste the ones you just downloaded into system/priv-app
4. Rename BOTH of the apk's to what they are supposed to be named (ex: SecContacts.apk should be SecContacts_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk)
5. Set permissions to RW-R-R for both.
6. Reboot and enjoy!

I pushed both to priv-app and renamed the contacts that you have to match the original. Set permissions and rebooted and all is well. I dont know if it matters but the SecContacts_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA that you have is only named SecContacts. But all seems to be working well here.

Right? We are supposed to believe them forcing us to use a second app is to make things better for us and not them being up to something, messed up something, and\or not have a clue what they are doing?
