[Q] galaxy 3 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a subgenre of phone power user- Not a fanboy or a total hater of anything in the mobile world, but up until now I have never been able to like the android experience, never hated on the system just never liked it, and have always loved both iOS and WP7 (proud owner of a 4S, HD7 and hoping to make a purchase of an iPad 3 soon) and found the Android OS too buggy, slow and glitchy for my liking, however from what I can see, the G3 actualy makes a smooth beautiful and fast experience out of the system, so finally I see temptation in purchasing the handset. I have heard many things about all the possibilities with the system that are closed in the smoother more beautiful systems of iOS and WP7, but for me the user experience is more important than being able to do all of these extra computing functions, although it seems to me that the Samsung have been able to provide the happy medium.
has anyone here tried the SG3? Any information of wether you would recomend it to me based on what I wrote in this post? thanks

ROMS for N7000 on I7I7??

Do the roms that are built for the N7000 work for the SAMSUNG-SGH-I717?? I only ask because...
1.) The I7I7 has only one ROM available and its not ICS where as the N7000 has several ROMs available.
2.) I know its possible because I run Desire HD roms on my HTC Inspire.
Thanks for all the help guys.

Sorry no the n7000 has a different SoC than the i717 trying to put one of those roms on this phone = brick.

Is there any other ROM that is available for the I7I7 than Saurom? Or is development still really early?
Sent from my HTC Inspire using xda premium
saurom is a great rom. I've had no issues with it. and my phones super quick and looks sexy. but its still too early right now. I'm sure in the coming months well see some new ones though
Development is just starting
CHILL!!!!!!!!!
I am so tired of these threads asking why only one rom or where are all the developers.
They have jobs and lives outside of xda and do mods in their spare time. Plus this phone is only a month old

I'm not demanding ROMs dude, I'm simply asking. I didn't seen any threads asking my specific question so I figure I'd ask. I understand they have lives, I'm just curious as to what's going on. No need for an abnormal use of exclamation points.

Apples and oranges. The Desire HD and Inspire 4G are basically the same phone. The hardware is the same except for some minor differences with the sound hardware. The international Note and ATT Note are completely different phones. The only thing they have in common is the size, screen, pen and they have similar cases. That's it. Everything else is different.

Absolutely questionable response and uncalled for...even suggesting that isnt humorous and maybe you should be concerned as to what people will perceive about you. Im just about sick and tired of all the rudeness and blatant self rightgeousness on these forums, members need to show some self-respect by not being rude. This forum has some NEW RULES as the base subscriber is no longer DEVELOPMENT ONLY the majority of us are not developers...they have their own section for each device to which noobs are restricted and should be, so giving people and noobs a hard time for something posted in the GENERAL and Q&A sections is ridiculous, so maybe show a little restraint if you choose not to help and just move on without posting anything!
Listen, I know a lot of noobs and others make mistakes and dont follow the rules but why jump on them outside of the DEV's threads? If you do as a senior or junior member then you also are breaking the rules!

I did search but was unlucky upon finding something. There are 2 forums for the Desire HD and for the HTC Inspire but the Inspire can ROM Desire HD ROMS so I wasn't sure. Better to ask than ruin a brand new 300 dollar phone....

Want to learn developing

Hi community,
my plans are to learn how to develop my own customROM and perhaps Kernel for my own device.
But I dont want to do this with my new mobilephone and my old ones (LG o2x, HTC HD2) are giveaways for my mum and girlfriend so there isn't a mobilephone left to do this.
Now I've considered to buy a cheap and used Android mobilephone at ebay but there are so many different devices.
My question is if there is a device with which it is easy to learn developing and which pardons mistakes.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks for your response
best regards
ev!denz
I would go with a Nexus S (GSM version)
Very simple to use, pure Google and I would assume it's relatively cheap now. Also has ICS and JB

[Q] Ultima vs FoxHound ROM? Your opinion

Hey guys, I have been checking some ROMs online and have found two interesting ones.
Ultima ROM and FoxHound ROM
I would like to get your opinion as to which one is better performance-wise, battery-wise, and feature-wise. Or just general pros/cons of eachr
If you haven't tried it out I would still like to get your opinion since the S3 will be my first android phone
Best rom what rom posts are against the rules.
jje
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I've used both but Ultima has been the best for me. Battery, performance and has the greatest customisation with the aroma installer. You get to choose what you want installed or don't want. So its totally custom. The dev support is great too. Regular communication and updates.
WanamLite, Omega, Foxhound, Hyperlight. I rotate between these 4. The rest can go away
There's no "best" rom for obvious reasons we all have differing expectations, I used to use FH 1.3 (ICS) and loved it but when the switch to JB came around I found it didn't quite live up to the other roms around so even when you think you've found the perfect rom always be prepared to try new ones.
This is headed for a thread close very soon.
But to answer your question, I can only offer an opinion and that is in my sig .

This is a thread asked for opinions Between two popular roms. People who used both of them can have their comments regarding them. Nothing is wrong with that.

You're dead wrong there, this is a thread to ask people which ROM is better, hence the title.
That is against the rules.
Having an opinion leads to a discussion as to what is the better ROM, people will disagree and bring up good and bad points about each rom, which like I said is against forum rules.
Saying that I'm surprised its still open.
To put things into perspective, I'll answer your question by asking another. What's better football or snooker?

[Q] first time caller long time listener... so to speak

Hello
Wanted to introduce myself to the S4 community and say that I have gotten so much out of this site, and by happy accident even found this.
Back in 2010 I had a droid X that I rooted, only for the sake of over-clocking. I have been building PC's and hackintosh's for years and thought overclock was the only reason to root...
fast forward to years, and I ended up selling my galaxy s3 for cash plus a Galaxy Nexus.I had to switch to the iPhone for work, but like having a backup phone. The first time I powered on the Nexus I saw a lock that was Unlocked on the bottom. well, like the Most of you. The rest is history!
I became a root a holic, and tried everything from A o sp, to sorcery, too paranoid, Exedra Exedra Exedra.
because of work I am forced to use an iPhone, but I saw a deal on Craigslist for our galaxy s4 and couldn't pass it up.
As of now I am running hyperdrive with the WalletPatch, and LMT pie controls.
I look forward to getting my 10 posts in so I can begin to help the rest of the community in any way possible.
I love this forum, and the proof is on the home screen as I have an XDA chrome shortcut right there.
my first, and only, question in this post is; is it worth buyingvthe app?
Buying which app? The XDA app? If you frequent multiple forums then I would just buy Tapatalk. Or you could buy both just to support XDA.
I don't see myself posting anywhere but here. I used to be a forum whore, but I quickly got sick of debating 16 year olds as to why I shouldn't buy this turbo for my evolution X. Still have my Evo, but don't partake In anymore witless banter.
with that being said, will the xda app provide better usability in terms of interacting with the forum, and its content.
I'm sure this forum has the same three basic rules that any other forum has, if you Don't want to be a perpetual newb, those three being; search, search, and search

The XDA app doesn't like it when your on WiFi. You get errors all over the place. It does however work great on 4G/3G. I have the app for my phone and the HD one for my tablet. I also have tapatalk.
I'd say buy the app. You get a really nice forum experience with better navigation and no need to zoom in on the page. I never have a problem with the app on WiFi. There's also a free version if you don't want to buy pro. Pro, it would seem, is mostly out there to support the site, as there aren't a ton of feature advantages.
Thanks, I ended up buying tapatalk, and downloading xda from play

Hello I am Jupiter!

Hey guys my name is Jupiter (Kushal) I am new to the XDA developer forums and.I don't know wether this is the right part of forum to post an introduction. Please excuse however I always been interested in Android and I've wanted to obtain a Nexus Six P,but I'm afraid I won't get the vanilla version of Android!

Nexus devices come with the purest version of Android installed. It's pure "vanilla Android" as you called it. If you buy a Nexus 6P new it will have Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow installed. If you buy a 6P used make sure the device has a clean ESN and is not blacklisted by any carrier that you want to use the device with. Also, if you buy it used, no matter what software is installed you can fastboot flash the Google factory images and return it to a fully stock state like the way Google designed it. Don't be scared about not having pure Android on a Nexus. That's the reason you buy a Nexus. If your really interested in a 6P, head on over to the Nexus 6P forums here on XDA and browse through each section. You will find some excellent information about the device in the General Forum as well as the Q&A and development forums. There are some excellent developers working on the 6P and they have built some really great ROM's and kernels for this device. Good luck and it's nice to have you in the XDA forums.

Hello Jupiter, we already have a welcome thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961655
