back-to-n00t; Bring the LTE fun back to 3G |
/* Introduction */ |
Previously, Korean developers were porting i9300 ROMs to e210s. How ironic, we are now porting e210s ROM back to i9300!
The Korean letter "눝", pronounced "noot", symbolizes LTE(as you can see). |
/* Overview */ |
Touchwiz Android 4.4.4 for Exynos Galaxy S3 3G Ported from Exynos Galaxy S3 LTE Havily debloated De-KNOXed Deodexed, zipaligned, uncompressed Since this no longer bases on N7100 ROM, this is much more stable than other KitKat ports |
/* Changelog */ |
V9 SMS, MMS issues fixed
V8 Korean characters from the dialer removed AllShare and Screen Mirroring fixed Mobile Data, 2G/3G toggle and SMS Delivery report fixed
V7 CSC reworked from I9300XXUGMK6_BTU Google Apps updated to improve stability Camera Shutter Sound control enabled APN and SPN fixed Kernel updated to E210SKSUKNK3 Entropy hook on storage removed for performance Random drivers updated to the latest mainline Linux LZO security vulnerability fixed
V6 Rebased to E210SKSUKNK3 - Every forkers of this project is recommended to also rebase their ROM Debloated even more Compiler optimizations for kernel fixed and improved L1/L2 caches size defined (by JustArchi) Now uses new ARM instructions set Full unaligned access enabled Linaro's power-efficient workqueues merged Boeffla sound engine 1.6.7 merged Random drivers backported from Linux 3.19 for performance Westwood as the default TCP congestion control
V5 Faulty Camera fix removed for fixing Cameras that has worked on V1 and V2 - If Camera worked for V1 or V2, flash V5. If it still doesn't work, do a full factory reset - If Camera never worked for V1 or V2 and now, V5, flash the Camera fix from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/fix-camera-stopped-error-samsung-based-t2499158 Patches model name to SHW-M440S for SHW-M440S users
V4 So major that I decided to skip V3 HUGE improvements via rebased kernel(now uses SHV-E210S KitKat kernel source) USSD fixed (Maybe. I haven't tested out yet) Graphics glitches fixed Wireless mirroring fixed (Maybe. I haven't tested out yet) Unaligned access enabled Deadline I/O scheduler with latency improved 500MB of vnswap enabled (should improve memory managements and random reboots) Uses newly improved LZO for ramdisk & zImage and swap AIO(Asynchronous I/O) enabled and improved 30% Take advantages with Android 4.4.4 with extra free kbytes tunable MMC and ext4 performance improved ARCH_POWER enabled
V2 RIL fixed (SMS and signal strength now fully functional) Fixed Call logs being empty More de-bloated Added missing /preload apps T Roaming settings removed Lockscreen shortcut settings added
V1 Initial release to XDA developers |

Your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot. |

The ROM file contains kernel modified specifically for this ROM. This ROM is heavily debloated. This is based on Korean firmware, some stuffs may remain in Korean(e.g. Dialer). BusyBox or Superuser is not included! |

1. Install ClockworkMod(or PhilZ) recovery 2. Put ROM on your SD card 3. Enter recovery 4. Perform a full data wipe(except you're running previous versions of back-to-n00t) 5. Flash ROM 6. Flash SuperSU |
