Google did implement it. It works for me on my S3, just as described by the op on his iphone. I double tapped the home button, up popped the Google Voice Search and then I said, "Navigate to XXXXXX." The XXXXXX was a name in my contact list that had an address associated with it. Google then...

I think there are two main choices out there, CleanROM and Synergy. I've run them both and like both. They've also provided reliable functionality for me, both in os performance and radio performance. As you obviously know, the os is seperate from the radio, rpm and kernel. For example, you...

Actually, there is an update/patch to 5.5.1. It's 5.5.2 and it seems real good. I beleve that these updates are based on the latest K3 release (4.1.1), so if the op updates his rom he won't be missing anything . . . except the VZW stuff that messes things up. That's one of the big reasons for...

It's not JB. It's VZW and their garbage. You know the answer to better battery life and better performance. It's unlock, root, and rom. Then pick a good kernel and all your problems will be a memory . . . at least the problems you seem to have with your phone.

I don't find any overwhelming flaws in Jellybean. I've been running it for months, but not w/ a VZW-modified JB operating system. If there's flaws, it's due to VZW's garbage that they add to it or do to it. VZW really mucks things up. When you get rid of their mods by running a JB ROM like...

I've run both CleanROM and Synergy and I like both. They're touchwiz-based ROMs. The JB versions work great for me and I know they'll get even better as time progresses. Here are the links to the xda threads and sources for them: Synergy: ☆ ★ | ROM | SynergyROM VZW S3 | JELLY BEAN 4.1.1 |...

Come on guys, including the op, stop with the name calling. I happen to disagree with the op on quite a few things, but not all. Yet, I've found my S3 a very good phone that does it's job very well. Would I rate the S3 camera a 10? Heck no. However, I wouldn't rate any phone camera a 10...

Since you're running a dev's ROM like CleanRom, there shouldn't be an issue with OTAs. They have usually already taken care of it for you. Although I don't know the ins and outs of CleanRom, I expect it's already been handled. Changing the apk to bak for the files in this thread is something...

I'm glad it turned out simple. The other Gallery is from 4.2, along with the associated camera, that was ported over to our 4.1.1 ROM. As for wiping data, it's simple to reinstall from a backup. It would put you right back in business. I guess it's time to stop fussing with the operating...

Right, you got it. A dirty ROM install is to just wipe cache and wipe davik, and then install the ROM. A clean ROM install involves wiping data, wiping cache and wiping dalvik and then install the ROM. You do this in Recovery. Of course, when you do a clean install, you'll want to backup...

Well, it sounds like you almost did a clean install, but really didn't. Instead, you did a hybrid install. It wasn't clean and it wasn't dirty. You did something inbetween. If you're trying to do a clean install, you need to wipe all three - data, cache and dalvik. Short of doing all three...

I'm also running the latest Synergy ROM (revision 125) with the latest radio leak (K3) and associated rpm. I remember having the same thing happening to me a while back. I couldn't set a lock screen picture and all I got was a little smaller version of the picture in my gallery when I tried to...

If I were doing it today, I would give great consideration to the Note2. However, you said that model was not in the running. In that case, I can think of nothing other than the S3. I also had the T'Bolt for a little over a year, but I switched to the S3 shortly after it came out. Would I...

Hey there. You do know that if you're running Synergy's revision 118, the latest one, you're running Jelly Bean. It's based on the latest leak. The last ICS revision was 73. Is that what you're running? Everything after that has been JB. I'm wondering if the "cosmetic" issue you have has...
