Anyone tried HyperGalaxy rom. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695562)

Looks interesting being a totally stripped down rom with only a 204mb footprint. Most / all of the useless stuff has been stripped out, but still based on the JB leaks.

Anyone here go without a case with their galaxy s3? Contemplating the crazy move as the phone feels fantastic without.

I use a rock quicksand but every now and again I take it off and use the phone bare for a couple of days.

Dont use anything on mine. No marks at all it just gets treated the same as any phone i have had, chucked about and put in my pockets.

 

[RobP]

Don't really use the case for protection, it's more for grip! Just feels far too slippery without it! Got a Rock quicksand on mine

new ebay app isnt working for me, anyone else getting the same?

 

[Chillimonster]

yeah,

Had issues last night with the 'new' version not logging in, then this morning it 'updated' to a version that wont even work.

 

[siege2]

EBay was mentioned they rolled it back to 1.8 version from 2
Ie our recent v2.0 update released on 9 Sep has been recalled, replacing it with version 1.8.

Clearing the app data seems to have sorted it for me though - allowing me to log in and buy useless stuff once again

I'm on the latest rev and it started hanging whilst in whatsapp last night had to restart the handset

Any recommendations for a nice smooth polished firmware please

Link would be handy too

Thanks

I'm on Checkrom at the moment. Rock stable ICS rom with a nice kitchen app for flashing mods easily

Sorry this has probably been asked A TON of times - does anybody know where the cheapest place to buy one of these unlocked to be used with my ladies Orange sim from her Desire which is on its last legs, seen them for about 426 on RF...

Use a pouch. Keeps it safe from scratches in your pocket/bag. Then take out when you want to use the phone.

just bought one from amazon for £442, delivered sat. carphone warehouse etc is 480 +

Red, blue, or white. That is the question? Help me out guys!

One thing I hate about using custom ROMs is the random 'this application has failed force close' error. Otherwise I'd happily root my S3. If you think your ROM is rock solid, eventually one day randomly it will do this... at the time when you need that app the most

Cool, 425 at the moment from them 16GB might go with that.

I don't think that's down to custom roms, more due to the fact that not every app will work with JB at the moment. There's plenty of ICS based roms that are solid, maybe more so than stock.

I'm sure there are plenty of custom ROMs that don't give force closes. But you can always just do what I've done, and root the phone but keep the stock ROM on there. Best of both worlds in that respect.
