Downloading now. Im guessing we need to wait for stock toggles and domination to be updated for it?

Just back cover designs? Expect those to be on ebay sharpish!

Also yeah, stock toggles required.

But they need to be updated before we can use them?

With these nightly CM10 builds. Do I have to wipe my data everytime I want to install a new version, or can I just install it on top of what I have?

I just don't fancy reinstalling all my apps and configuring them again that's all!

Hey guys,

I'll be receiving my Samsung Galaxy S3 tomorrow through the post.

The phone will be orange branded... I'm on O2. What software will I need to download in order to make it look like a unbranded SGS3? Maybe somebody could point me in the right direction to the latest unbranded firmware if that's all I'd need to do?

I've also seen a sim unlocking app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.simunlock)

It says I'd need "root" for this to work? I'm not sure what that is.

Sorry for the noob question. I've never used an Android device before! My previous device was a BB 9900.

Thanks in advance!

I hope you sign up to dropbox and get your free space before doing any formatting, and new roms!

Not sure how its claimed, if you don't do it on a original stock install.

You sign into your account using the app on the phone during the setup and it emails you. After that you have the 50GB for 24 months.

Grrrrrr! My S3, for some reason, keeps reading out the url of every website I visit on the browser! Anyone know of any ways to fix this?

wellibob · 28 Jul 2012 at 14:17

Red ok. BIG fail with at&t logo though.

Robbo · 28 Jul 2012 at 14:18

That red isn't too bad really.

Blue is still my favourite though (because it looks black most of the time

).

The fact they didn't make a black or silver one was a little stupid in my eyes. This phone would look wonderful in black.

Still have a little hope they'll bring out a black model in sept - otherwise I'll pass up on the S3 - it'll be too old hat for me if they bring it out any later.

Spot on.

Colour is very important. I'm just glad I really like the blue. The white is kin horrendous

Wipe for the initial install, then each nightly can usually just be flashed over the top of the old.

If anyone missed it, Mike1986 has released Android Revolution HD for the Galaxy S III.

He's probably one of the best known HTC ROM guys around, he basically just tweaks the stock firmware to make it better, there are no visual changes, but usually battery life/speed/stability improvements.

I'm going to try it shortly, it's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334

DanMc07 · 28 Jul 2012 at 17:41

I think I'll try that actually. Is there an app I can install that will backup my sms/pics/apps etc before I install this?
