Skunkape60,
First off, thank you again for all of your help and patience with my questions, as well as your overall dedication to the dissemination of information for the SGS3. When the information is broken down and organized the way that you have provided, it makes it easier for all of us (noobs and experts alike) to ramp-up with our new devices and thus, preventing bricks. I've taken some time out to read up/ramp-up on tons of info pertaining to the SGS3, but still have more to go.
In short, as soon as my SGS3 phone is delivered, here's my plan that I wanted to run by you. Please feel free to add and correct any steps you feel necessary:
1. - Activate phone with Sprint and get the phone up and running.
2. - Root the SGS3 with the information and files provided by the following guide:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...e-updated-how-root-your-sprint-galaxy-s3.html
3. - Once rooted, along with CWM Recovery already installed, I wish to change and flash TWRP.
4. - Install 'WickedSensations ROM'
5. - Install 'AGAT G3' Kernel
6. - Tune & Tweak to my hearts content, along with Overclocking and etc.
7. - Install Apps galore.
** A few notes/questions:
1. - Have you or anyone else for that matter ran any of the mods/tweaks/scripts from Pimp-My-ROM...successfully on this phone?
Here's the link:
☠ [APK][Tweaks & Mods] █ PIMP MY ROM █ App v1.7 {Any Device // Any Rom}[ALPHA][WIP] ☠ - xda-developers
Not that I know of. I will look into it when I have a chance.
2. - Is TWRP for the SGS3 available on XDA or Android Central?
Absolutely, Just ask and you shall receive. After rooting with the CWM recovery tar, you can flash this in recovery. If you prefer to root with TWRP, let me know and I will convert this into a tar file for you and you can use TWRP to root with. TWRP Recovery
3. - Any thoughts on Team Venum's 'Jelly Bomb' ROM? Is WickedSensations still better?
JellyBombs Dev bought a Note 2 and has been spending the majoritiy of his time on that. I prefer the Dev of my Daily Driver be dedicated full time to my device. Plus I really like Wicked Sensations...
4. - As far as WiFi HotSpot/Tether, can we utilize the native built-in function or do we have to use a WiFi Tether App?
As far as I know, None of the GS3's roms natively support WiFi tehering. You will have to load a hacked version of WiFi Tether.
5. - Is there a recommended MAX for Overclocking?
My phone ran 1890 without any ill effects on the Agat kernel
6. - Has anyone ever used a script/mod/tweak similar to this, where we can format an SD Card with a partial EXT3/4 Partition and utilize that space by tricking the phone to use that as internal memory? Here's an example of what I'm referring to:
[SCRIPTS]CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT (updated 09/19) - xda-developers
Again not that particular mod. From what I understand this is as close as it gets for our phones. [MOD]App2ExtSD2 [Works for all U.S. Galaxy S3!] - xda-developers
Any other thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!!
BJ
