Samsung Galaxy S III (3) Gets Android 4.4.2 Kitkat Update (AT&T, T-Mobile)

Samsung Galaxy S III (3) Gets Android 4.4.2 Kitkat Update (AT&T, T-Mobile)

According to that picture the S3 had some beautiful colors.
Anyways, Thanks to DocHoliday77 over at XDA, you can now get the TouchWiz 4.4.2 Kitkat version for your Galaxy S3. Long awaited update, we still haven't reached the OTA, but I am running this ROM, and I have to say it's smoother than a baby's bottom....
The RAM Typically uses under 800MB as to the previous builds used around 1GB out of 1.56GB, thanks to Kitkat we now have more available RAM as the it is not a resource hog.

According to almost anyone owning a Galaxy S3, the 4.3 Update was the Windows Vista of Android for the flagship phone.

All in all I don't believe this phone will have many more updates available through OTA (if any), this means we will probably start relying on Cyanogenmod of Developers for the latest versions of Android available.

Be sure to grab this update/ROM over at XDA and give Doc a quick thanks, or even a donation. Link is below for all of that good stuff.


Though it says for "T-mobile" It still works on an AT&T variant as well, I am running that rom from that page on my AT&T variant as we speak.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this build for the Galaxy S3! Much more news to come.

Signing off..

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in The Ryzen family of AMD's processors are here, and they're great so far. So I got my hands on one finally, so this is my Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in. First Glance This is great, AMD has finally phased out the FM2 and AMD3 sockets! It has been WAY overdue, and finally a new board and alignment has hit the market. What this means is, there can be more transistors, and components put onto the chip, which means in return, better performance. It looks beautiful, in terms of it being just a component for a computer, which is just basically a cluster of a lot of components together, as one big machine!  Specs The Ryzen 7 1800X comes stock with the core clock at 3.7GHz with 8 Cores, and 16 Threads. Also including 16MB of L3 Smart Cache. The core clock can also be turbo up to 4.0GHz with an unlocked motherboard. So far so good.  Stock Performance With Cinebench R15 I got a nice score of 1

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions)

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions) I'm excited to bring you this news today, Galaxy S3 users can now download the Google Play Edition of Android (As close as you will get to it) only on USA Versions as of right now. It all started when I got inspired by the sunbeam live wallpaper (How loco?). I decided to disect a Cyanogenmod Rom, first I started with AOKP, but was not satisfied by all the more options. Options are never a bad thing, but when you start with a 4.4.2 Nightly build of AOKP, You don't know where the heck the lockscreen settings are, or in fact I don't think it added any options for the lockscreen ring. They are still working on it, the rom is pretty crystal clear, and pure right now as it is. I decided to revise. I turned to the CM10.2 version, and started to play with it, luckily I soon got all the Google Apps installed correctly with no problem, and now I'm working on a revised build of the 4.4.2 Google Play Edition. I know just

HTC 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE

HTC 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE HTC 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE So I have been recently checking out the Newborn HTC Baby, the HTC 10. It looks a lot like the A9 in the front, but a M9 in the back, sort of? The HTC 10 is a very serious device.. I really like this device to start off, especially how HTC brought back the stealth black color option, that really makes my day, because with my M8 I had to replace the metal housing with a stealth black 3rd party part, because the Gunmetal Grey wasn't enough for me.. However that is definitely not the case here. LET'S get into the specifications here! Yeah the hardware! This baby rocks a quad core (2 Dual core processors) Dual-core 2.15 GHz Kryo & dual-core 1.6 GHz Kryo This is on the Snapdragon 820 Chipset, and to help it along has 4GB of RAM, or Memory. This is a 5.2" Screen, using a newer technology the Super LCD5 under a coating of Gorilla Glass 4. The OS We're running here is Android 6.0.1 Marsh
