True haha
@OP how is the galaxy S3? And what happened to your Incredible S?
The s3 is amazing! I love the battery life over the inc s and somehow touchwiz feels alot lighter then even sense 4.
The usb port in my inc s died, as well as the sd card slot so there was not much i could do with it anymore:/ if i could id still be flashing roms onto it just for fun!
I've gotta say though even though there are less devs in this section, the sense of community and teamwork here is far better then in the samsung forums
Nice to hear that, but it is probably due to a fact that youre still new on the Samsung section... Enjoy your new beast, I've tried it few days ago and I was delighted!

Good bye!
What are your reasons for the change? Until now I didn't find anything what I needed and my Inc S it couldn't. Repair would be too expensive?
yeah it wouldn't have been worth it to repair, if it still worked my plan was to keep it for another year.
The s3 is very noticeably faster though and the screen size is really nice, overall everything just feels alot better thought out on the s3 then the incs
I'm still in love with my IncS
An upgrade should be nice...
I will of course upgrade even though IncS is such a wonderful phone.
great choice with S3!!
S3 sounds good enjoy it

This is a straight answer and for sure i get different opinions...
Well, i have a chance to buy a P990. But when i see a top phone with low prices i suspect something is very wrong with it... and low prices are not only for the phone i found, is to all P990, so the problem should be with all of them...
Can you please tell me if this is good or bad phone? Battery, wifi, calls, android version...
If i compare this phone to samsung galaxy ace or ace2 or w, which one to choose?
Thank you all.

You should thank the dev who made it much much more easier to do anything with this device "spyrosk"
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
the P990 is like heaven if you want to try custom roms
Even if you manage to brick it, just install a Stock-Rom with NVflash, and it is back alive in 95% of all brick-situations. The only way to destroy it is the hardware-side, like smacking it with a sledgehammer
Very large user base all over the world, and a wide bandwith of CustomRoms that run stable and nearly bugfree.
The official ICS-Stock-Rom is also running pretty good with it But if you ever used a custom rom, or tried one once, you never want to go back to stock on any device
When I ask about ICS is because I've seen some posts where users say that ICS update for this device comes with some bugs and that was worst than previous version.
But when I see all yours answers I believe that this is good phone and good choice.

Exactly, i think that it is S2=O2X>>>S>>>Ace, too.
Btw rvrosa, ICS is working quite good, CM7 is perfect (but oldie if you had tried JBo ICS xD) and devs are working hard to give us a good experience with 4.2.1 and 4.1.2... and yes, it is very easy to flash any rom, and its really hard to brick this phone (someone said 95% of briks are back alive? Well, i think its 99% of them :'D).

I am running on ParanoidAndroid 2.5_2 by tonyp right now, which is CM10-based Android 4.1.2, and it feels stable I would recommend it to everyone for everyday-usage

they only are nation- or provider-linked for official updating, but there are really easy ways to change that

welcome to optimus 2x world.
compare to my friend Sony xperia P :
performance is absolutely win... xperia P laggy.... optimus 2x smooth... best for gaming
display : well, xperia P is the winner. because "bright pixel" . but, the optimus 2x display is not bad. for me, its good enought
body : xperia P is win. smaller, thinner . never mind...
ram : xperia P. oh come on... ram expander is everywhere. who's need big ram XD
i choose optimus 2x because its performance and for gaming experience
Well... at the end i didn't bought the LG... found a good deal and decided for HTC ONE X.
Thank you all.
If you get a locked phone, regardless of brand or carrier, it is easy to unlock - just identify the original carrier it was locked to, get the IMEI, submit that info plus $8 to cellunlocker.net, then boot the phone with any other SIM inside, and enter the code
Good job on getting the One X, great buy and way better than the P990... I like my P990 but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone in 2013, even those on a budget, since the better models from late 2011/early 2012 would be at a decent price by then.

No... the phone is unlocked from factory
Was in different language but when i put my sim card he asked me if want to import my sim card configurations or something like that and... guess what? I get the phone in my language lololol
I've bought it very cheap for that reason and for some small scratches. The only ones that i have some scare are in the front of the camera... the worst case scenario is i have to change the phone case, but i don't think this scratches affect pictures as they are in side and not in the middle.
So far very happy with it :victory:
Hi,
I got this phone after i sold my 3GS.I really enjoyed the extra core and the hdmi out(i even sold my htpc as i didnt need it anymore!)
but missed the smoothness and attention to detail of the ios.
Having said that it took me 5 days of reading to jailbreak the iphone and around 10 minutes to root the 2x.
I kept it stock because life is short and i didnt want to loose warranty.
I agree with the friend who said its a galaxy s2 class phone.I was considering the s2 ass well but the lg had a better bang for a buck at the time.
IMHO there is nothing wrong with it except for the never ending progress of technology,its just not top dog anymore.
I'm starting to get a little twitchy as to weather it was a good idea or not to get the lte version?
I'm really beginning to think that development isnt looking good for us. At the moment all we have is roms with lots of options but not roms from major cooks like darky rom, miui, cyanogen, etc?
No disrespect to the devs that are making roms but I do feel that there isn't a big enough audience to warrant devs developing/porting roms for this handset?
What do you think?
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium
yeah the i9305 development is nothing compared to the i9300, unfortunately
Well the s3 has been out longer so I would expect there to be a lot more roms for it but there don't seem to be much buzz about the lte?
I thought having 2 gig of ram would of been tempting to a Dev to make a super fast smooth rom but it seems the difference between the two is quite a lot!
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium
yes, it's surprising and disappointing. I wouldn't expect much change, because soon the devs' attention will shift towards the newer devices like the s4

Luckily our device is so much like the S3 and Note 2 LTE that that doesn't really matter, all we need is a little push over the edge and we'll at least have CyanogenMod builds.
Yeah, its the only reason I have not bought one yet Seriously, CM will be a beast on this phone if it ever gets ported
Edit:
Was seriously looking at the N4 but all the shortcomings (fixed battery, breaking glass, short battery life and no ext sd) make me come back to the S3.

Don't forget the half-arsed build overall, I mean including a deactivated LTE modem just screams "unfinished" to me.
Hello there XDA!
I have just bought this phone after realising that I just can't stand the terrible piece of thing, HTC Desire Z anymore. Saw the unveiling of the S4 and wasn't too impressed and decided to just get the S3.
I haven't got the S3 yet though, will receive it sometime in the next 2-3 days.
Anyway, got a two questions here..
1) Why are there very little support for the I9305 version of the S3 on XDA compared to the I9300? (Android Development sub-forum, by the way) I was going to get the I9300 because of this but the store I went to didn't have them anymore. I really am planning to have this phone for a long time but the lack of support here worries me.
2) What is the best mod and ROM to use on the device? I will be rooting this. I'm looking for a smooth experience using the device as well as a quite decent battery life. I want to know the general opinions on here on which is the best rom.
That's all folks! Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

Nexus 4 had no removable storage and the Xperia Z is a tad bit overpriced here so, S3 was the way to go. Plus the specifications on the S3 is good enough for me especially the screen size, I don't really need a 1080p screen.
Thanks anyway!
If you want a Stock ROM but optimised, go for Wanamlite.
CyanogenMOD is AOSP so you'd lose some Samsung features and the camera isn't as great.
BTW, great to see more Bruneians here on XDA!
I'm on ripper rom themed with domination. OC'ed to 1.5 with yank kernel.
Getting 5.30h on screen time heavy use.
I tried cyanogen on my normal 9300 but battery time : waaaay too weak. +lots of lag.
So don't really like it.

I would actually try most, if not all, if I could but unfortunately, internet speed is pretty terrible at times..
the second question is against the rules.
You will love the s3 lte and from my experience the best ROM for overall is pandoriam which has a lot to offer in terms of performance and customization with all the goodies from stock.
Anyways enjoy one of the best phones on the market if not the best!
Sent from a Galaxy far away!!
again, DON'T discuss which ROM is best
I'm sorry. I've only read that a few days after I made this thread.
Anyways, currently enjoying the smooth and fluid experience with RipperROM as well as the CrossBreeder mod. I am really loving this phone so far. Huge step up from my previous phone, Desire Z.

It's not a matter of specifications, the specs are good enough. The problem is that Samsung don't support the developers by releasing the source code they need in order to properly port CyanogenMod and AOSP-based ROMs to their devices. What this means is that devices with an Exynos4 processor, such as our lovely I9305s, will never get officially stable CyanogenMod or any other AOSP-based ROMs like ParanoidAndroid or AOKP, there are just too many blanks to fill. With an Exynos4-based device you can expect to live with graphics glitches, higher than normal battery drain from modem, and no project butter support. Presuming Samsung doesn't eventually release the source (seeming more and more unlikely now that the Exynos4 isn't even their top-of-the-line processor).
Yeah, I can see how that's a problem. I think the same thing happened with Desire Z where HTC did not give out the source code for the camera or something..

Ok, so his question was against the rules, but the responses weren't necessarily. The second one didn't say what was the best, it said what the poster was using.
Factual information about a ROM is very different than pure speculation about what's the best.
Did it really make your life worse having those two helpful posts on this thread for the guy?
Hey everyone.
I've tried slim bean and another cyanogen rom, but the problem was the camera quality was really bad, but battery life was , tbh, great, about 30% higher than stock rom, which I am with now..
Does anyone know a good cm rom with good camera quality ?
Also, I dislike the cm UI, is there any cm rom with LG UI ? I know there are some for samsung for example that have touchwiz, does it also exist for our phone?
