[korahepop]

go for archidroid [kk] for the best battery management, the lollipop version makes the phone buggy, and the xposed support is also not confirmend

Any link for this ROM? I can't find archi kitkat ROM. Thank you!!!

 

[$@k$h@m]

First off I'd like to thank $@k$h@m for this Thread, the very informative OP is a great thing for newcomers and those like me who've had an S3/i9300 for some time without using it and have come back to the Android scene with such a great phone looking for whats available in kernels/roms.



My post here touches on topics from both of these two points of view quoted above. I'm on a i9300 with Googy-Max 2 Kernel, 1st rom as Archidroid 1.7.18 (4.3 based), no 2nd ROM currently. So I definitely agree with fibu.c.franklin's post below that Archidroid 1.7.18 is VERY STABLE and compatible with all the stock apps and i9300 hardware features. I got it mainly for the stability and the FM Radio compatibility, since I use the FM radio on a daily basis for listening and recording.

BUT the point by $@k$h@m is also a strong one... a 4.3 ROM like mine is missing out on some new Apps and OS features brought along by 5.0 and 6.0, plus new apps might not support 4.3 anymore as time goes on, so having a 5.0 or 6.0-based ROM might be better for app/software compatibility.

So my first question is this, does the 6.0.1 Resurrection Remix ROM that is popular and stable right now, have support for all the original hardware features of the i9300 like stock-based 4.3 ROMs? like the FM Radio, etc? are there any other ROMs that keep that hardware functionality in the i9300 that are 5.0/6.0 based? And if so, what features and bugs are there compared to archidroid 1.7.18?

My second question is, IF the new 5/6.0 ROMs dont support the FM radio, can I dual boot/multiboot my current 4.3 Archidroid 1.7.18 ROM with the 6.0.1 Resurrection Remix ROM? Maybe this way I can have the stability of my 4.3 archi, with the features and software/app compatibility of the 6.0 Marshmallow ROMs.

Firstly Thanks for asking this, i wanted to pick up the problem of FM radio for a long time for our devices, actually as you all know the thing with FM, just like WIFI and Bluetooth, is that it requires both hardware and software, now our devices come pre equipped with the hardware, so we need just the app for running it, and fortunately we now have one, honestly guys, i am really sorry, i have actually know about this app for a long time, just that the question of fm radio had never been raised by anyone so i assumed people already knew about this, so anyhow, all you need is the following app, and root access, and you can access fm radio <the actual fm radio , not the internet one> on any ROM. It comes in both Paid and free version and is available on Play Store as well as on XDA. The app is called Spirit FM, and i have tested it for ver a year now and it works well on all ROM's and on all versions of Android, i am currently using the paid version Spirit 2 compatible with the Cyanogen and other AOSP ROM's.

Now to CubanLegend,
As your FM Radio problem is probably solved by the above app, i'd suggest not double booting your phone, as the 827mb of RAM available on the GS3 can have serious issues while handling 2 ROM's. The memory management will be disturbed the storage space will be clogged. I have tried it with RR[MM] and BlissPoP, with arter kernel's dual boot and actually did not like the results, lags were common and device crash and heating were often.

What about offical CM 13? is it fast, stable, full of performance and good battery performance? And im wondering what's the difference between CM13 Nightly and CM13 Snapshot?

 

[$@k$h@m]

Hello,
sorry for the delay, college life keeps me busy, now then, the question's of the hour , the OS i am currently on, and my views on CM 13, and i guess my pick on a good marshmallow ROM.

So in order -
1. I am currently on Linux Mint edition Ubuntu for phones, i wanted to do a little core stuff, and heck, android is built on Linux so i said why not try it out, but those of you who are considering leaping onto the Ubuntu, i'd suggest precaution, bugs, breakdowns and compatibility issues are very common, plus a pre-requisite knowledge of a little coding might be required.
2. The CM 13 Nightlies seemed to show some problems initially but now most of them have been sorted out as best as I could figure, like i said earlier, one the official Cyanogen become's stable, there's not many ROM's which can compete with it. Although the CM13 based ROM's are not far-off as they trade in multi-feature's at the cost of little or no stability loss.
3. My preference - My three picks for now are the Official CM 13 (latest builds, not the old ones) , Temasek's Unofficial CM13 and Ressurection Remix ,in that order, as currently i am placing the stability above other things, feature wise go with the Unofficial ROM's, but my suggestion will be to choose the latest Official CM 13 <August/September builds>

My s3 is now more then 3 years old, only used with stock for almost one year then the performance and battery gone worse i decided to root and add a custom rom . i began with tw roms dunno wich ones they where but had great experience with, but when i was in vacation i encountered problems with stability after installing a game to pleasure my kid... Then after painfull vacation but lots of bootloops and such i decided to tryout a cm rom which was archidroid 3.0.2 also a great rom with lots of customatizations ive loved it but bcuz of one bug that annoyed me i switched to miui rom whom had weakly ota updates. It was at first rocksolid but after every update there appeared a bug it slowed down, apps crashing alot etc.

Now after reading this thread i decided to go to cm based rom again and have RR m rom, after 2 weeks of usage im a bit satisfied but needs further testing and optimizations.

I want to install a SlimRom to my S3 international! Is it possible to install one of the new SlimRoms from slimroms.org to my GT-i9300 international? On the side I found only T-mobile, Verizon ...!
I reactivate my old S3 and I had SlimKat on it in former times! Very quickly, stable and smooth! Kernel was the Yank.
Thank you for your help!

Hello Guys,
I am sorry to say that I am no longer using an S3, I gave it to my cousin to experiment on and am currently on Xiaomi MI5, hence i will no longer be able to update, or reply on this thread, now, i know many people are still using the S3, and want to try out the super user experience, hence try to keep this thread alive by answering each other's queries, or by asking a senior member to help.
In case of a serious brick, or trouble related to the device, {seriously, serious} - contact me: saksham0505@gmail.com , with " [xda-s3] " in the subject, i'll try my best to look into it.
Thanks guys for supporting this thread,
Love 'n Peace
