What wifi nonsense and ads are you talking about? I turned wifi off to get rid of the notifications. Haven’t seen any “ads” though.

Ok I have a simple question. I really like the camera and the quality of the pictures of the galaxy s3. but if i root like cm9 or cm10 whenever it comes out, will my picture quality degrade? Cuz i noticed the pictures on my old DInc didnt look as nice when i installed cm6/7 on it

I use Nova launcher (prime), and set the swipe down gesture to open voice search. Also I set swipe up to toggle notifications. I love it!!

is there an easy way to root without using adb?

If you are rooted you can remove the first 2 lines of code and run the rest in Terminal Emulator. No need to have ADB installed on your computer or the drivers. Just make sure all the files are names appropriately and on the root of your internal memory.

I’m eager to see what CM does for my SGS3. While I am really enjoying it, there are two things that are dampening the experience.
First, I’m a big google voice search fan, so the deletion of the magnifying glass hurt, but I figured I could use the icon and keep the functionality. But while the market shows that it is installed, I can’t find the icon to put on my desktop. In order to get google voice search, I have to long press the menu button and then tap the microphone icon. Admittedly, a nit, but when I use it as much as I do, it makes me pine for that magnifying glass button. I thought the S voice double tap would be fine as a sub, but good @!#$%, S-Voice, IMHO, is complete horse$#!%. I hate it. So, I’m hoping that CM gives use a doubletap google voice search.
The second is that the bluetooth on mine works fine, but people say I sound soft or at a distance from the phone when I use it, and I never got that complaint with my Droid Incredible. I’m hoping CM’s version has some magic that will bring back that on-the-phone-proper clarity.

No, by bypassing the factory kernel you can run a full custom kernel meaning it s a true ROM that has all teh features and can be tweaked to your liking. They are booting from a different location. The DX2 for example has “glorified themes” Kexec changes where the phone boots from. Custom Kernels is what it is all about. They tried doing kexec on the DX2 but could never get it finished. The SGSIII is not running “glorified themes” there is a custom kernel which is what a lot of other phones are lacking.

Until you realize CM9 drains battery. I went back to Stock Rooted ICS on my NS4G, the last few versions of CM9 even the RC are horrible IMO.

If you’re that anxious to get JB, why get the SG3 and not the Gnex? You’re going to continue to be outdated with anything other than a Nexus device.

just don’t see Google announcing another version when the largest group of users will be 3 versions behind at that point. OEMs will revolt.

that will be a mere “band-aid” and not a solution to the “problem”
