Can someone point me to a stock, debloated, zip aligned, deoxed ROM for the Verizon S3? Until the custom ROM's get cleaned up, stock still appears to be the best, suspect performance and battery life would dramatically improve just by removing bloat and unwanted services running.

Re: Samsung offering unlockable Developer Edition Galaxy S3 It appears that the rooting process and phone locking mechanism is somewhat different then my thunderbolt. I have unlimited data and am going to pay full price either way for an S3 Questions: 1. Any advantage to owning a dev edition...

Actually Beats audio is a fairly sophisticated eq for the phone. It is somewhat particular and may not be the "sound" you like but it is anything but a gimmic. I know the guy's who designed it, they are very competent AE's.

Same, issue, have tried to reboot a couple of time and let it set for 6 hours, no change. Going back to previous version which was flawless, what was I thinking???

Thanks. I have some experience with RTOS's and various ROM's for other devices. The heat I was noticing was specific to a certain configuration of ROM and Radio's on my device. The heat increase was immediate upon reboot as well as subsequent reboots, with no other programs loaded on the...

I have downloaded a number of the new skins for gingerbread ROM's to my phone. I have located the .apk file, installed the application and received a message that the application was installed successfully. I then go to the skin folder to load the skin, unfortunately there are still only the 3...

FB, saw your comment about giving a radio a day or two. If you are noticing excessive heat would you still give it time? 24hrs later the chingy radio and ROM are working really well together. Most noticeably the phone operates much cooler.

Well, after playing around with various radios this afternoon, went back to the latest chingy radio. For some reason my phone runs hot with the other radios. Noticed that it was hot with stock ROM and Radio out of the box. Using Chingys radio the phone runs cooler. Battery life was improved...

FB, thanks! Have you tried the new radio? Any thoughts on which one I should use?

Using Chingys radio, thought about swapping, any suggestions? Can I swap after ROM loaded or do I need to reflash ROM after installing new radio? Please also provide a link. I can see MR2 & MR2.5 but can't determine what the actual radio version is. Want to try latest radio that is not...

Flashed and began installing apps etc. Battery stats were wiped so I know battery info was good. Went from 100% to 87% in less then 20 minutes. That is somewhat worse then stock. Can't do it. Just flashed back VI, same process battery still at 98%. Anyone play with the older radio to...

Anyone having random 4G connectivity issues? Prior to flashing this radio I near constant 4 bars + 4G connectivity. Now my phone frequently jumps to 3G and is somewhat slower on downloads Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

Re: [ROM] [MikRoms] Gingeritis 3D v1.0 Beta VI [07-25-11] New Gin Awesome, awesome, awesome! Just downloaded and flashed ROM. Installed Chingys latest radio as well, assuming it would work well with this ROM. So far so good, everything links up instantly, phone is fast and fluid, apps work...

Not true, twice my phone has begun "automatically" downloadeding the OTA, twice I have turned my phone off in mid download to prevent.

Is this the only way to prevent the auto update of the OTA? This sucks, I have caught the phone twice now downloading the update without my knowledge. One more question. If I am running a custom ROM, can Verizon tell that I am tethering wired/wirelessly? Or would they simply see data moving...
