No, kernels can also add feature support. In the S3's case, Siyah and the like have NTFS modules so you can attach USB drives formatted with NTFS and use them.

tom_e · 4 Oct 2012 at 10:35

To be honest the only reason that really keeps me with Siyah is I like the audio tweaks it includes.

kona786 · 4 Oct 2012 at 10:36

Ahh ok. But that's it? Those 3 things? edit - I see it changes audio as well so possibly quite a few things then.

mrk - are you running Domination on a JB Rom? any bugs on domination?

mrk · 4 Oct 2012 at 10:38

There are more tweaks and changes, the Siyah site lists all changes on each new version. Siyah seems to update modules and scripts and adding/removing and then going back to previous modules and so on. In the real world I noticed no difference based on my usage so just use stock.

The audio enhancements are nice but since getting decent IEMs and PowerAMP I've not bothered with needing audio enhancements.

^^ I'm using JB Domination on WanamLite 3.7 yeah.

kona786 · 4 Oct 2012 at 10:48

Hmmm - Vertumus just replied saying the Domination theme won't work on anything but the international S3 version. Poop.

OK so my 4G lte S3 will be here with me tomorrow -WOOT!

I hope its the same process to root and theme as the Vanilla S3.

See this is what I don't get. How can Samsung release the 9305 with JB yet the 9300 JB is not out yet?

Surely they are the same setup minus the LTE and, if networks have them for despatch now, JB for 9300 should be out unless Samsung can teleport the 9305's to the networks instantly :rolleyes:

I just don't get it....

kona786 · 4 Oct 2012 at 10:53

Maybe a rushed release for the LTE version? as another selling point.

Still sucky though as it's been over a month since the Note2 unveil.

It is just how businesses work unfortunately. It is another reason for people to buy it instead of the normal GS 3. Same with HTC and their one x+ and the x. No reason why they couldn't start sending the update to the x.

Just a marketing ploy.

Skully · 4 Oct 2012 at 10:58

Could someone please help me?

I updated to latest CM10 nightly yesterday and for some reason my NANDROID backup didn't work. I have no problems with the ROM, other than that if I buy an app on the website, it doesn't automatically send it to my phone.

I've tried clearing cache and data, can anyone else suggest something?

ck88 · 4 Oct 2012 at 11:36

Currently on Wanamlite JB rom and I need to get back to stock orange ICS. I've downloaded the stock orange firmware from samsfirmware. Is it as simple as selecting it in odin as pda and flashing it?

iMacMart · 4 Oct 2012 at 12:28

Might and probably has been asked before but will us users with 3rd party roms be able to do a straight update to JB or would I have to go back to stock rom then update?

Thanks

EniGmA1981 · 4 Oct 2012 at 12:29

Yeah it really is that simple

I did the same with my stock 3 firmware.

Make sure you have anything you need from your internal storage backed up though as it WILL wipe your internal storage (any external cards will be untouched however)

iMacMart: You'll be able to update via Kies I think, but the OTA won't work as the system will be 'modified'

If for some reason Kies doesn't work, flash stock via Odin first then you'll be able to do it via Kies or OTA

whichever is easier for you.

Does the LTE version have 2GB RAM?

Yep

Yes.

Quad Exynos too, not the US S4 Snapdragon combo.

Vakas · 4 Oct 2012 at 13:14

So is anyone thinnkng to change their normal S3 for the LTE version?

I have only had mine for 2 weeks can't change it now I don't think from Orange

tom_e · 4 Oct 2012 at 13:43

Nope, quite happy with my non LTE version and HSDPA is more than quick enough for when I'm not near WiFi

Myshra · 4 Oct 2012 at 13:45

It's not worth the cost of doing so unless you can get it for free would be my opinion. You'd also have to live in the area of coverage for it to be worth it (although I have HUGE doubts about total inner M25 coverage, this is a fairly tall ask).

Vakas · 4 Oct 2012 at 13:46

Do you think Orange would let me exchange my S3 for this today is the 14th day...

tom_e · 4 Oct 2012 at 13:49

If it's like the DSR you only need to notify them within the time frame, it can be received by them after that.
