OK, but my ram is up to 560mb...I don't understand,why???

That's normal for the S3, touchwiz uses a lot of ram. Don't worry about it.

ok man,thanks...

You can try removing some Samsung bloat from your rom you'll find it in /system/app
There are lists here on xda.
There is a bloat removal tool in original development sub-forum.

how many flash can be done?

actually, how many ROM flash can be done for SGA?
logically it will be unlimited. But ROM has max re-write number, isn't it?

Thanks for posting this. Would exceeding this limit damage the EEPROM or something?

S2 processor

Guyz do anyone here knows the reason y my phone is always in 200mhz even when every is app closed
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
ofc we do
When every app i closed, and no crazy background services running, the SII "downclocks" itself to preserve battery juice.
Mostly in sleep state. So dont worry, when u run some apps, not to mention 3d game its gonna "turn on" and use all of your 1200mhz.
cheers
I think he think it must 0 mhz
He is asking why its still at 200mhz..
To OP if you want to shut down your processor to 0mhz then turn ur phone off...
That 200 mhz is used by your system to run
Solved
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

It's because anything below 200 mhz will send the phone into the sleep of death, where it won't wake up.
I've downclocked my S2 many times and it's never happened.

You can use BetterBatteryStats form the play store to find out what keeps your phone awake.

You have got apps that are constantly using data, try to put most things on manual sync and go to accounts and sync in settings and turn it off for a start.
Get rid of any apps you very rarely use.

Don't know what you mean? If you are asking about how to post the BBS dump here then just connect your phone with your PC and download the file 'BetterBatteryStats-....txt" from the root of your phones internal memory and post it here.

Need some help and recommendations

Hello all, I have finally decided to root my S3. I just have one question though, what app would be good to backup all my settings, pics, apps and everything else? Also what is a good Rom to use that's fast and based on jellybean?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
You can use titanium backup. As for the ROM it depends, some prefer stock with custom kernel others prefer asop ROMs. You should browse the forums and decide for yourself. Also next time search and only make a new thread if you can't really find an answer, the moderators may get mad at you.

What's the difference between asop and stock with different kernel? I read some older topics and just go too confused.

read the OP. it explains the different naming schemes of various different ROMs. it also lists all the roms that fall into different categories of aosp, aokp, stock, and others.

actually jjegan is right. due to hardware differences, you need to check out the appropriate forum for your phone. you will turn your phone into an expensive paperweight if you flashed any roms or kernels in this forum.

Already moved on to Galaxy Grand but still think this has to be the best phone which is good @ Dev support if not the best ....

S3 becoming of old age?

hi all
I have had my S3 for just under a year and recently have been growing really frustrated of its performance. It feels slow at time (which is understandable) and it freezes and completely crashes on me randomly through out the day.
I have been running the _null rom for a very long time and find this an amazing experience. I have just today moved over to chaos final v2 rom and that seems just as smooth. I am still however having these crashes!
Any body know what it could be? I must admit my memory is virtually full externally and I have about a cool 3GB internally. This should not make a difference to the system crashes though!
All ideas and responses would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Please read "unusual freeze" thread in general.
This should be in q&a though.

Its not relevant. If you're unfamiliar with the s3 specifically, fyi "generic advice" is not applicable here. Faults and quirks of the s3 are unique to this device so really only owners or developers of the s3 will be able to help through experience.

Great, so you'll be fully versed in the update 7 kernel source code for the S3 that introduced the MOVINAND fix to address the faulty wear levelling code in the 0xf1 VTU00M eMMC memory? And that the issues the OP has mentioned are conducive with the side effects that this fix has on the device?
