Downgrade Galaxy S3 (AT&T) Back to Stock Touchwiz 4.1.2 Without Unrooting

You upgraded your Galaxy S3 to the Stock touchwiz 4.3 and now you hate your phone, I know just how to fix that.

Assuming you are rooted (Due to the title) go to the Play Store and download a program called "Rom Manager" This will allow you to install Clockworkmod for your device.

Once you flash the new recovery head over to the following link to obtain your 4.1.2 Stock Rom copy.

Once downloaded, restart your phone. Then open Rom Manager, and you can click "install custom rom" or just shut off your phone, Hold Volume Up + Home + Power all at the same time, till you get a tiny blue text "Booting into recovery"

The navigation buttons are Volume up, and down, and power to select.

First off you should start with a data wipe, and a Cache wipe, and a dalvik cache wipe. (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)

Browse to your download folder (if you have an SD card, thats where it will be) and find the rom AKA "AT&T UCMG2.zip" and press Power to select.

It will show some on screen stuff, just sit back and let it work. When it says it's complete, reboot the system and you're good to go! Congrats on your new S3 again :)

LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing?

LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing? Hopefully! I mean its very possible, for the Galaxy S3, and S4. I have not gotten ahold of a Galaxy S5 yet (Send me one I'll do it, thanks!) What this will consist of, again is bringing the look, the UI, and just the smoothness of the device to your older Galaxy device. Which is a new life for the older gen devices right? LikeWise S5 was such a huge hit for the Galaxy S3, I would love to participate in a new ROM, aside from my LG G2 work. Anyways I really want to do this! and I will! for any device I can, if you want to donate a device to me, for any development, I will definitely follow up on your wishes! Thanks everyone for reading this short :) AndroidGuruGuy

ZTE Blade S6, Deal for $250, Octo Core Snapdragon 615 ZTE has been known for the cheap phones that run Android, and thats about it in the past. Take a look at this! The ZTE Blade S6, It's a nice looking device, and guess what? It sports a nice Snapdragon 615 chip, with 8 cores! You heard right! They still do not want to break your budget, this phone is yours for $250, I'm sure itll be on the shelf at Walmart here soon. You get: 8 Core processor Android Lollipop 13MP Camera 16GB storage and 2GB of RAM That's a pretty powerful device for the price! Now, I do understand it looks a bit like the iPhone 6, and I'm sure thats where the inspiration comes from. All Chinese devices have some sort of inspiration , or mocking ability (lol) My thoughts? The last ZTE phone I had was the first ZTE Avail, this was about the first Android phone I had, and it ran a stock version of Gingerbread, I was happy with it from what I knew then. I still have the pho...

LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies

LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies I am currently releasing the D801 (T-Mobile LG G2) Builds for the D800. Basically, I am taking the D801 CM12 Nightlies ever so often, and modifying the kernel for AT&T G2 Devices. I will be releasing these every 5-10 days, until the official CM12 Nightlies start coming in for the D800, which shouldn't be too far along. Everything seems to work so far, last week I had a build that didn't have the Display & Lights option working, but on the Feb. 21st build, it is successfully working flawlessly. Comments below, or on the XDA Thread will be helpful, also reporting to CM the issues because chances are, if you're having a bug, the T-Mobile users are too. This is version 5.0.2, and will be updated from time to time! Working: Everything I see so far. Not Working: Nothing, The Display and Lights option crash was fixed.
