GS3 rooting and Roms

[blkmiles]

How many of you that have GS3s rooted yet? Of those that have, are you running a ROM that isn't stock?

 

I'm about to root mine and was looking for some feedback on some of the ROMs out there.

I've had mine rooted since the day after getting gs3. I've only personally tried Blazer ROM. I was using 1.3 for the longest time and it was super snappy, stable, and had a great battery life (was getting over a day with about 5 hours of screen on time). I just recently upgraded to 1.5. Feels about the same except for a fix with call recording (took it out due to the button overlapping with the call switch button) and the CRT animation added when turning off the device.

 

I would highly recommend Blazer rom.

I'm rooted too but im using stock. Just a tip...search for the "flashless" root method if your going to root your phone. Any other root method will increase your binary counter and currently triangle away only works for the international version of the GS3.

Blazer was good on the E4GT too. I wonder if Caulkulin will start developing for the GSIII he had some great ROMs.

I'm hoping so.

I haven't done much looking into the flash counter but what is the significance of it? Is there a limit to the amount of times the memory can take a flashing?

It is a way for the manufacturer to tell if you rooted and installed a ROM thereby voiding your warranty. USB jigs are supposed to reset the flash counter.

Just installed Blazer and liking it did far. 3G speeds are now At the level I was getting with the Evo LTE.

Kinda figured it was for that. I had heard in the early days of GS3 news that the ROM could only be flashed a number of times and that it was much lower than most phones.

I'm running CM10 on mine... you can reset the flash counter using Chainfire Triangle Away app that now supports GS3.

Does the camera software still support burst mode and taking stills while recording video on Blazer or CM10?

Usb jigs don't work on the s3. To my knowledge only the most recent update of chainfire's triangle away works.
