it is a great buy considering the price.performance is gr8 in JB after changing kernel and cm is there, but problems are being sorted out(in alpha stage now) and no games lag with any of the custom kernels! (*samsung rom and kernel suck)
about O/C it has been done but not stable yet. i tested out the oc kernel....

Need some money to buy?

Dude don't be selfish.
I also have a sgsa but we have to accept the truth.
It has more ram and will support more official updates because it is released with jb 4.1.2 and for our sgsa sammy haven't released official update in all region.
But if you don't want to go for s3 mini and only want to know about sgsa than i will say sgsa is a superb phone. I haven't any complaint about my phone till now.

The price of sgsa has fallen by around 15% , so as a smartphone which is value for money sgsa still remains a good choice in the price range. and we will get JB official update in April.

S3 mini looks gay with the curved body... S3 is a big phone so it looks decent
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium

It can have some problems, like I got a lot of dust under my camera, the front camera stopped working (hardware problem) and the screen glass is kinda sensitive on top, if you drop it shoulder high on cement or any hard surface it will crack. But all those problems are commonly on samsung phones, so it depends on how lucky you are with your phone

Lol yeah I felt like s3 mini looks really gay. And about S3...even I can afford it, I need a handheld that fits right in my hand. And that is SGSA. Need larger screen and then I'll just pickup my tablet.

Have you tried power+volume down?
And also if you want to root, flash a custom kernel from the s2 section of xda. Any would do. I too am aware that there has been a Spanish and Russian firmware with different coding but any one of the 4.1.x kernels for Samsung rom will do

Have you flash the latest firmware from India? After wiping phone data performance was as good as on gingerbread for me...
but I would really use at least custom kernel. Cocore is a good choice :good:

Okay, why open a new thread for it?

This is called marketing strategy by Samsung !
With the jellybean update ..
They are slowing down old phones !
They are trying to make you think that your phone is now old and not power ful and you should buy new phone !
Just use custom kernal ....
And make your phone fast again

I tried it today. Some really annoying bugs, especially the vibrating and the not working camera but I didn't saw our phone so smooth yet. It was really cool

Then its depending on your country what firmware you have. You have only the newest one if you're from India.
If you're from Russia, you have LQ4. Updating to Indian DDULP8 should be a big improvement. In Serbia, you get LQB, then the difference is much smaller.
To the Chinese update I cannot say anything, for us from other countries its dangerous to flash it
I made the update one or two months ago with LQ4 firmware. I didn't wpe data too, I was also disappointed. Now running Pure Vanilla V4 on base of Indian firmware with Cocore kernel it has become much better, only battery time is much lower than on gb.

Actually you are the idiot here. Thinking its samsung marketing strategy to update phone software to make it slower, so that people will buy new phones.
if they really did that, people are dump enough to think like you thought , then they will buy new phone. But it wont be a SAMSUNG phone
And please take a deep breath, and take it easy. I didn't mean to offend you.

Actually the same thing also happened with galaxy nexus with the 4.2.2 update ..... That phone also become slower after the update ...
Just because Google wants that people should buy the latest and greatest nexus phone ....
By the way you are junior member on xda and I am senior member so mind your behavior !

So i loose temper .....
Btw i have my own Rom Super Optimus for optimus one ....
But i didn't shared it to others .....(because i didnt have my own pc to update it regularly for other people)
And in s3 i am using the 4.2.1 official rom from sammobile with tweaked kernal ...(i didn't needed to build my own rom ,because there are already such great roms developed by great developers )
I concentrate more on apps and mods ....
Like trimming the size of the apps
Theming
Games porting armv7 to armv6

[Q] Is there vanilla Android for s3 mini?

Please excuse my ignorance in this, but all these roms and mods confuse me, lol.
Is there any way to get original plain Android on the s3 mini? The one without touchwiz, I think it's called Vanilla Android?
My phone is rooted and has a custom rom on it already.
Thanks.

Do you mean the regular stock UI? (Cm10, aokp, etc) if so, a cm10 beta just came out on the maclaw website.

No, just the plain Android Jelly Bean, like the Google Nexus 4 phone.

No sadly, AOSP isn't available because ST Ericsson isnt releasing source codes for our NovaThor chipset which means developers have to build it with their own codes which isnt easy and there aren't many developers are willing to do that, currently only Maclaw is working on CM10

Where o when to get the official jelly bean, not a beta or alpha?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

There won't be any official release for our device. Samsung stopped supporting our device long time ago.. Actually we don't need anyone when we have numerous choices of wonderful custom ROMs available for us which is far better than any official release..

There is no official jellybean for S plus from samsung. If you want the best jb experience you can use cm10 or cm10.1 You can find in development thread.

NEVER.. but as you can see we already have wonderful roms

That's what i mean, official i mean with play store, stable and fast, and off course cooked. I only find alpha roms and unstable. Please help, thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

All the 4.2.2 ROMs Are almost stable. Especially the cm10.1. Its on RC5 now. So how could you say its in alpha..??:laugh:

Hey, if there would be any custom ROM wich is in alpha status, it would be much better than any official Samsung stockrom. In our devsection we have the best devs you could ever have. From Samsung you would have one official Jelly Bean ROM. From our devs you can have more then 15 stable JB-ROMs. Just try some and enjoy.:laugh:

I know, thats why i only use our great customroms. It's better to have a full stable custom JB, than a slow buggy stock GB full of bloatware. Fact is, Samsung will never ever release an official JB for our phone.

I have tried TigerROM, Ehndroix III and Cyanogenmod 10.1 and all went PERFECT
