Samsung Galaxy S3 is the flagship device from Samsung and if one looks at the phone closely it can easily be understood why it has achieved such a celebrity status in such a very short time. It has nearly everything that you could probably look for in a smart phone. A close looks tells us about:

  1. 1.4 GHz quad core A9 processor, now you know how it supports multi tasking
  2. A 4.8 inch super AMOLED screen which is probably the best for HD videos with corning gorilla glass 2 protection
  3. Massive internal memory of 16 to 64 GB and SD support for external memory up to another 64 GB
  4. 8 MP AF primary camera and a 1.9MP secondary camera

Now that you know exactly what the whole package is about, you will be more interested and think about the product. The s3 is a high performing device in the top segment and when it hit the market we all thought that it is difficult to go a step ahead. Well, shortly after this the new OS, the Jelly Bean from Android, hit the markets.

This brought all the top brands to the drawing board as all wanted their flagship devices to have this OS as soon as possible. Though many have now done it, Samsung led this race and had the flagship s3 released with the new OS. This has been the subject of discussion for many. Here is a look at what you will be getting with the new custom ROM:

  1. Customizable hardware and software keys
  2. Lock screen widgets
  3. A Mira cast display
  4. Photosphere features
  5. Transparent Navbar
  6. Theme engine for an attractive display
  7. Multi user support
  8. Speed enhancements for various features
  9. Sliding volume rocker and controls
  10. A full screen rotation which makes it easier to use
  11. The battery light is also customizable

There is a lot more that the 4.2.1 Liquid Smooth ROM has in stock for your Samsung galaxy s3. You can get this ROM quite easily as there are many online portals guiding the installation process. The most important feature to be kept in mind is that it is meant only for the galaxy s3, so do not experiment it on other phones as you may get undesired results. Before you start with the updating check if your phone number is compatible for the update and only then proceed.

Another point to be borne in mind is that you should make a back up of the phone which can be restored in case something goes wrong. Remember this is not an official release from Samsung and so in case anything goes wrong, then Samsung does not take responsibilities for it. While taking a back up the usual android back up settings for the contacts and factory settings will be helpful. The call log entries, SMS and MMS too can be restored by back up apps. For the rest of the data you can resort to the SD cards of the external memory.

The phone should have at least 80% battery so that you do not run out of power. Also ensure that the clock work MOD recovery of the phone is activated.

As it is still undergoing processes there may be a few bugs with the LiquidSmooth ROM but it will be fixed pretty soon with the upgrading process.

    Poor.

    Not a single link in the entire article? You realise this is the web, right?

    And “As it is still undergoing processes there may be a few bugs with the LiquidSmooth ROM but it will be fixed pretty soon with the upgrading process.” is meaningless gibberish!
