    Hi guys, Welcome to DroidS3! Based on best stock JB firmwares, Stable, Fast and packed with heavy customization and variety of mods
    The DroidROMS concentrate on three main things. Faster Performance, Longer Battery life and Smoother UI. Built on the most stable and fastest firmwares, they don't only make your phone last longer but let you get the maximum performance out of it. Packed with a stunning UI and a huge load of Aroma customization, They fully "Droidify" your device.

    This is a preview of the installation steps/customization included in this DroidROM for the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300.

    STEP 1

    Flashing Options:
    • Update ROM Base

      Select this to flash the rom. The purpose of this is so that you can choose whether you want to flash the rom, or just flash the frameworks, mods and other apps. For example if you have already installed DroidS3 v4 - MC3, and you selected the JKay framework but want to switch to Droidified framework, instead of flashing the whole rom again, you can deselect this and only flash the framework and other mods.


    • Update Modem

      As simple as it sounds, if you want to stay with your current modem, uncheck this option.

    STEP 2

    Wipe Data
    • Wipe Data

      Select this to wipe data, wipe system and wipe caches. This is recommended for clean install, but you will lose your existing apps, contacts, etc if this is selected.


    • No

      Selecting this will not wipe data, and will only wipe caches.. make sure you are on a 4.1 based rom..

    STEP 3

    Well, i'd allow anything like reviews, feedback, bugs being encountered, i'm open to all suggestions and the users play a big part in the development process. II want this to be an open thread with discussion not a purely on topic and boring one.​

    Hey masterex567 , have you seen :::

    Stock Official Firmwares] I9300XXELLC (4.1.2) - Spain (PHE) [11-01-12] ??
    Yes ofcourse mate. :)
    Downloading it, though a torrent would be very much appreciated..
    If anyone has it, it'd be nice if they can mirror it. Hotfile is a pain.

    Already planned what to add in LLC.
    There will be better battery, better performance, better customization and I assure you of that. ;)

    Bravia engine will be added, it causes no harm.
