I switched to dolphin and that fixed the dimness. thanks for the suggestion. I really was taking it back as that issue was so bad

You're welcome. My gfs GS2 does the same thing that's why I figured it was the stock browser. If you have a problem with the phone and you can't find the answer searching then don't hesitate to ask on here.

I'm running the CM10 JB rom [ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10 Nightly Builds for SGH-I747 - xda-developers
AOKP is what I was using on my GS2 but it doesn't have all the features that I want yet. The JB roms for GS3 are getting their features updated regularly so I'll probably flash AOKP again soon to see if it has the features I liked from the GS2. But CM10 has been very smooth. Minor bugs since JB is so fresh but they aren't a real inconvenience at all.

Hi Angelsnecropolis —
Just a 3-week old android noob here, with a real nooby question.

Is your root that you've linked above, still a consensus latest & greatest root & ROM flash (even for a beginner) on the GS3 w/ AT&T ? There seems to be nearly endless options. Does one BNN (brand-new-noob) basically just start by trying different 'roots', and then always changing them...that is, unless your phone ends-up 'bricked'?
Are specific 'roots' considered more secure than others? I guess what I'm asking, is how's the best way for (we noobs ) to maybe figure-out which 'roots' & ROMs are possibly the safest and securest, and simplest for us brand-new noobs to try out !? lol

Or are there any other roots & ROMs, from xda dev, or from these forums, that you'd recommend?

Or that anyone else recommends? . . . . Anyone?

Thanks very much for any replies.

*Concerning thread OP: 'SII or SIII' . . . .
I had a 1.5 gHZ dual-core (Snapdragon S3) GSII Skyrocket (w/ Super Amoled Plus display, for a couple weeks, before swapping it for a GS3), and I really preferred the GSII Skyrockets software! It's not even close. The GSII Skyrocket has much better software & apps, imo, including a full office doc app, QuickOffice, that now costs a GS3 owner $14.99 !!
As well, GSII Skyrocket has way better widgets, imho, including: 'Application Monitor' & 'Power Saving' widgets. It's inexplicable, to me, that the GS3 dropped the 'Application Monitor' & 'Power Saving' widgets...apparently so they could stuff the widget drawer with a bunch more social-crap widgets.
:major rolleyes:
And, the GSII Skyrocket not only has more apps (three full pages) in the app drawer; but there's several better apps in the GSII Skyrocket app drawer—than are found in the GS3 app drawer.

So why did I switch to the GS3? . . . coming from only iPhones, I missed a physical 'home button' too much. Really couldn't stand having to find & push the little side power button—just to wake the phone up.
In other words, I prefer the GS3's hardware, but the GSII Skyrocket software.

In the settings of the stock browser you can adjust brightness also

To me the biggest reason to get the GS3 over the 2 is the much better battery life the 3 has. Also, the 3 will no doubt be supported for future OS updates for a longer period of time than the 2. Reason I never upgraded from my Captivate to the 2 was no improvement in battery life. I certainly am looking forward to getting a 3 just waiting for Black Friday and hoping for either $49 or free.
