Just flashed this, so far so good, but it's a lot slower than stock Touchwiz on 4.1.2. Was I supposed to tick all the performance mods during installation? Because I only selected the first aggressive one. I assume more performance means more battery drain, or do they not affect battery life? As I was coming from jellybean 4.1.2 (old) I also had to flash an EFS update, my SIM was getting no service otherwise, might be helpful to mention this in the OP for noobs like me (thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/newly-installed-rom-wont-recognize-sim-t2741842).

I also can't find a way to customise the lock screen shortcuts, I've looked but there's no option for it. Is there also no way to use the flashlight with the home button? Coming from CM 4.4.4 this rom feels a bit backwards, yet it's the most popular rom.

I just had that problem myself. If you were on 4.1.2 before then your EFS is v1 but anything after 4.3 uses EFS v2, so this rom can't read your v1 EFS. All you need to do is flash the new modem in recovery and you're done: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=5557

I also get a lot of lag and crashing, it's much slower than stock, but I didn't install the performance mods which I might do later. Did you?

I don't understand the problems you are having with this ROM. I have 3 GT-I9300 and have install the Note 4 S5 editions on each one and so far I have no problems with it, did you install the Boeffla Kernel also. This is ROM is very good and fast. I advice you to try to Format in recovery mode and then do a clean installment of the ROM, back up first your important files on your External SD card.

Hey guys! I'm gonna give this ROM a try. I haven't been using my i9300 for quite a while though
so if you could please enlighten me here...
I'm currently on stock 4.3 and latest TWRP 2.8.6.1
All I need to do is:

- Full wipe/factory reset
- Flash the ROM zip
- Flash Patch V3 (?) what exactly is that for?
- Flash theming zip ?

Do I need to flash gapps here?
It gets confusing after a couple years of being used to Nexus devices, haha

Full wipe/factory reset. Just flash the rom zip file no Gapps already there and then get the Kernel Boeffla 7.7 and the Apk on play store. If you have any problems after installation like unfortunately stop running. Backup your files and do a Format on your cell just in case any bugs left on, do a clean installment and start from scratch. then flash the ROM zip file.

same way

if i coming from custom cm based 5.1.1 how do i flash?

The same way you do all Custom Roms

1. Download ROM
2. Copy zip file to Extsdcard of the Cellphone
3. Reboot into recovery mode.
4 Wipe/Cache clean
5. goto install and look up the zipfile Rom
6. Flash it. install it

It will start the installation it takes about 5 min or so
will go into logo then Desktop do all your configuration and setup on cell.
enjoy.

In the first post you have:


But in the Download post its V3.


Where is version 5?

its the 5th release of the rom, version 3 is the updated, thats why its Revolutionary S5 V3 in the thread name, we release V1, V1.x, V2, V2.x, and V3
all major releases came with an update a short time later to fix bugs from the major changes

    DUALBOOT INSTRUCTIONS
    okay i strongly suggest dualbooting SmartDroid and SmartDroid AOSP together.. best mix of both worlds!
    Step 1, flash devil recovery and reboot into it.
    Step 2, select install zip, choose the location then select "Zip to Primary FS" not rom.(make sure you install this as your primary rom.
    Step 3, continue smartdroid installation but dont reboot.
    Step 4, go to the main menu and select dual boot menu then select "create secondary system image" and wait till complete.
    Step 5, select install zip, choose your location of your secondary rom(it CANT have aroma installer) and this time select "Rom to Primary FS" and flash.
    Step 6, finally flash devil kernel and choose what rom to reboot into.

    This Update has made this rom FLY....

    by jfrm -

    I have flashed Boefla Kernel (default settings), installed all my apps (a really big list) and configure Nova Launcher with a big bunch of memory hungry widgets and this Rom is really impresive.

    The SIII is finally flying like it should and I have totally forget any plan to move to S-IV.

    Definitivelly and without any doubt, BEST SIII ROM EVER.

    My respect and congratulations to the chefs.
    by taran2l -

    How many people use YOUR NEW ROM today? And how many said that 240 is bad?
    Theming gives choise for users 240 or 320. I am using 240 and I like it. I am using phone for my job today from 8.00, now 14.17 and 62 percents of battery on my screen.

    Ram usage is awesome.....battery performance not tested...

    by Dougl@s123 -

    The bugs listed above does not affect me at all. more can get better with the new update. Very fast and fluent ROM. I love this ROM. Thank you.

    by paintball23456 -

    So, flashed this yesterday.. sucked. Bad flash. Wiped everything and restored phone to FULLY stock, now this rom is ****** amazing!! well done lads!

    by firnasz -

    V1 really impressed me. Few minor issues I have found, but it's OK for v1. The main feature I like is the 240dpi.

    by pricey2009 -

    I have made the same mods to this ROM as I did with rickys revolution.. my days, this phone has never been better.

    Please listen all you people that are considering installing this, just do it.*
    Do it now.

    by DjoeN -

    Upgraded from 2.1 to 3.0 Kept data in aroma installer, Damned this version is smooth!
    Installed Stock Samsung dpi and did a full bloat install to with the theming stuff
    (Installed SmartDroid, then Bloat installer, then Theming stuff, then rebooted)

    So far, i'm very happy, You guys did a really great thing with Stock rom! Loving it!

    by clown85 -

    Hey devs team, I really like your work and I think SD V3.4 is the best rom so far. I finally found a rom which has great battery usage combined with great performance and being as slim as possible, plus you can put preferred bloat on it.

    Im using your rom with latest boeffla kernel and its absolutely awesome to use the phone with average battery drain between 1,7% to 2.2% per hour. Great work!!!!!!

    If someone is interested in my settings I share them :)

    2 days and 10 hours and battery is still at 62% and faster than ever. The buttery smoothness is almost dripping of my screen :p
    Im sort of expecting to to die any second due to a battery miscalibration :D

    But seriously guys, this is phenomenal! Great job SD team :victory:

    Hi everyone I want to comment that after 2 days testing this rom all I can say is PERFECT. Never had a better rom in my S3, it is extremely fluid and battery life is awsome.
    Thanks guys for your hard work.
