Should i Root and install CM10 ?

Hi
I just bought a S3 yeah \o/
Now my question, im under BELL, the phone was originaly from ROGERS. So i have all the rogers app, booo.
I know Jelly Bean is coming soon.
So my question is :
If i Root, and install CM10 by exemple, i know the the original Rom in the S3 have a lots of nice tweek and option.
if i install CM10, will i loose all those option and tweek ? Or those should already be in CM10 ????
Other scenario, if i wait for BELL to push Jellybean, will it get all the rogers app out ? And be a real bell phone after the push ?
Thanks

What tweaks are you talking about? CM10 is based on AOSP so all Touch Wiz options are gone, for example all the Motion features are going to be gone, and the camera features and settings those are also going to be gone.
CM10 has its own features, but they are not the same as TW interface.

You will lose all of the "smart" features by flashing any cm10/aokp rom. You will also have all of the bloat apps from rogers removed.
another alternative would be to root the phone, and install titanium backup and just remove the bloat apps yourself using that app. If you wanted to keep all of the "smart" features.
Either way it is very simple to restore back to stock rom so you can receive the OTA jellybean update whenever it pops off. You simply download the firmware for the Rogers device (unrooted and stock recovery) and then flash that using odin and it will bring you back to stock so you can get the jb update.
**go here and search i747m and get the rogers stock rom if you ever wish to restore so you can get the ota jb update, even though when its released you will see a pile of roms built based off of it so you could just flash one of those to get jellybean goodness**

To get rid of rogers apps without root all I did was find them in application manager and disabled them.

To the OP, you can root and not have to try one of the custom roms. If you really like some of the samsung features then try one of the roms that is based on the samsung touchwiz roms. AOSP based roms like CM10 will be missing many of the little things that samsung put in their phones.

Sounds like you want all the Samsung tweaks, so I'd go with Drewgaren's rom, found in the android development section for this device. It's a great ROM but I still prefer CM10.

As a big camera guy, I REALLY like the Samsung camera app, but the AOSP setup is a lot cleaner, faster, is better with google services and more uniform looking... Currently JB AOSP based stuff isn't perfect either as there is no GS3 JB source, I've used AOKP a lot and really like it, but with searching for a new job I really need to make sure I have a stable and bug free phone.
I have a nandroid of both and swap back and forth occasionally... I'm crazy!

Jelly bean should be out for the AT&T S3 within the next couple of weeks.

definitly flash cm10. you'll loose touchwiz features like s voice, smart stay, ect because you are flashing an aosp rom. the advantage is that the rom is alot smaller and lighter so you get a huge speed increase and better battery life. if your worried about stability i can say from experience cm10 is currently much more stable than what i got from at&t out of the box.
make a nandroid before you flash so you can always flash back and recieve the ota when it comes out.

Successfully Root SGS3 4.1.1 T999

Hello, first time thread poster here
I have a Wind Mobile SGS3 T-999V with 4.1.1 Jelly bean and Im still looking for a way to successfully root my device.
Ive looked around but most of these threads comments have problems and don't work after the new Jelly Bean update that rolled out last week.
Was just looking for advice on the best way to do it (MAC preferably but Windows works too) to root my SGS3, any compatible recoveries that work on the device and any advice on ROMs that will help me save battery, get rid of bloat ware and make my phone faster and more efficient.
Thanks a lot! :cyclops:
More information of my device can be given if needed!
P.S. I actually have a few friends that are awaiting ways to do this too so any info will help about 5+ people more so than just myself!
Im just the test dummy to see if the rooting method and ROMs work!

Root just as before, no difference with jb.
I still root the same way I did on ics and works perfectly.

You can odin root66 from official firmware thread in stickies from development forum.
As to recovery there are two which I know of, twrp or cwm.
And as to rom, I recommend FrostyJB. Great rom with very good battery life (around 20h on mid-heavy use), most of bloat removed. With right kernel you can overclock it to work even faster, it's fast already. Try ktoonsez or trinity kernel. Both are confirmed to work.

Thanks a lot I tried the Root66 and it worked easily.
Will FrostyJB get rid of any of the SGS3 features such as smart stay and calling when you put the phone to your ear?
And also what do you find is the easiest way to install ClockWork Mod for it? Because ROM manager doesnt seem to have the recovery for WIND/T-MOBILE SGS3s
Thanks a lot for your help!

Things like smart stay, motion, etc. are available in FrostyJB. Like in every stock (tw) based rom. But unfortunately DJ stopped his work on that ROM and there will be no new versions, but in current release everything is stable and works great.
I have installed cwm using rom manager. It worked great for me. Are you sure you are doing everything right?

[Q] no 4g with custom roms

so the problem is pretty self explanatory if you read the title. I keep losing my 4g when i switch to a custom rom. Specifically a custom 4.2.2 rom like
slimrom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277770
or
paranoidandroid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118370
both of them say that they support 4g but when i go and install them i lose my 4g and my 3g is spotty sometimes.
I live in an area with a strong 4g signal and used to drive to and from work with 4g on all the time. Now i have 3g and it goes out sometimes.
So than i am left having to reinstall stock with
[ROM][RESTORE][5-12-13]Back to UNROOTED Stock with Auto Flash Count Reset
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
with the root.zip so i can have superuser and than install TWRP with goomanager so i can get my custom recovery back.
If i dont restore my phone back to stock with all that comes in that custom zip i wont get my 4g back even if i clear out slimroms and just install a stock 4.1.2 rom.
so what am i doing wrong?!
It would also be a great bonus to me if someone can also explain to me why i dont get MMS in any of the 4.2.2 roms as well.
What i have tried so far...
1. I have tried using "pimp my rom" to get to the hidden menu and that didnt work
2. i have my msl and tried to mess about with ##3282# using this little tutorial and it didnt work
4G LTE Connection Fix For Sprint Phones (...worked for me at least..........)
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...ection-fix-sprint-phones-worked-me-least.html
3. I have reinstalled just a plain stock rom (not listed above) after backing up a custom 4.2.2 rom with nandroid and resetting the network mode back to lte/cdma from automatic and than restored the 4.2.2 rom. That didnt work
I would like a SOLID, DEFINITIVE, CONCRETE answer on what is going wrong and how to fix this problem please.

Nice rant. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42978776
A little reading goes a long way. In case clicking is too much effort I'll summarize. A recent change to CM 10.1, the base for all of our 4.2.2 Roms, broke 4g. they are looking into it. You can locate a nightly before 5/28 or stick with TW if it is a deal breaker. Have a nice day

even though your answer is packed with sarcasm ill still accept it. thx for your help. I dont read that thread as i have no interest in nightlies because i want a daily driver. I didnt know that they use nightlies to make the custom roms. i thought it was just stable CM10.1 only. Anyways thx again.

[Q] Carbon Rom on SGH I747 4.3 MJB

This will be my second ROM install. I succesfully flashed the S3Rx Rom and like it alot but want to check out CarbonRom KitKat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634641
I'm simply posting here to ensure I have the correct setup to do so. I'm attempting to flash on my SGH i747 (S3Rx ROM) MJB Bootloader, etc.
I have CWM recovery and have done a few Nandroid backups to be safe.
Just looking for a thumbs up or down here. I still haven't absorbed enough info here to feel safe doing some things without asking first.
Thanks everyone.

Seems alright I am running it on my i747 mjb 4.3 bootloader

Just flashed it in the quake of some Data Conn problems on another ROM and It's very smooth and speedy. I will have a chance to see how the battery life is tonight, hoping it's decent.
Thanks for your input.

I tried out Carbon on my S3, ended up moving on to something else as it was restarting my phone randomly. Currently running Resurrection Remix 4.4.2 and I'm having no problems.
Hope you have luck with Carbon. Let us know.

So far this ROM is great. I think I like it better than TW based ROM's by far. Battery life seems decent also, as 12 hours with moderate use left me with 30% left. It's very stable on my S3. I think I'll keep it around. The dark theme is great and it's responsive, with no lag, etc. I'm a very happy user.

[Q] Bootloader question :)

I recently updated my N7105 to the recent 4.4.2 Nordic ROM ( n7105xxufnd3 )that was floating round that tripped my Knox, which I dont care about.
When i got sick of the updates abysmal battery life i flashed the latest stable release of CM for the GNII LTE a 4.3 based ROM with out issues.
But I'd like to know if i can revert back to my original ROM i.e. WanamLite MC3 V1.3, a TW 4.1.2 based ROM, for its spen support, battery life, atpx and boeffla sound support (im a big music listener) w/ Wanam's Adam Kernel.
Can i do this with out running into any issues, despite the gap between a 4.4.2 boot-loader (as I've been told i cant roll-back from this version) to a TW 4.1.2 ROM?
Thanks in advance guys

Based from what I remember, devs say that when you are with KK BL (ND3), you cannot flash a stock rom lower than it and the lowest custom rom that you can flash is 4.3.

Is there anyway i can flash an older bootloader? and/or is there a similar ROM to Wanam's that uses 4.3 as its base?
As awesome as CM is, there are touchwiz features specific to the note series that are hard to implement on CM/ASOP based ROMS :/

Do not try to install anything lower as it will break device. I'm sorry, I know nothing about wanam lite.

I have a unrooted note 2, manually installed 4.4.2 as 4.3 had major battery issues.
Things got worse for me in 4.4.2 nordic countries and I went and downloaded the offical roms from sammobile and am now back on 4.1.1 offical.
It can be done.

Wow, I thought once you are in a higher bootloader, you cannot install a lower one. No problems at all?
I'm sorry if I gave out wrong info, that was how I knew it was.

I have no issues at all.
Apart from missing out on features from 4.1.2 and above everything works as if I didnt update the device at all.
I would not do a restore from higher up android versions but if you start feom scratch its all good.
And I can say my zero lemon battery is working at it should be, I now have days worth of battery life.

I'm getting invalid kernel/ ramdisk size error on bootloader screen. This is the first time I got this error while entering recovery screen. I'm don't know much about this. Please help.

Sorry champ but this threqd is for a galaxy note 2 specifically a gt7105 and has installed a samsung stock rom, I have done this and have gone back to 4.1.1 but seeing as you have a rooted romed moto x it is out of my league.
I dare say this process is incompatible with the moto x and seeing as you can get into recovery or cwm or what ever its called you can still flash a rom with the relavent bootloader that was previous to your dilemma
