Verizon and T-Mobile on Samsung Galaxy S3 JB 4.2.2 AOKP

 

If you are the proud owner of the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 or the Verizon SCH-I535, then stick with us and read on because this is where you will be able to install the new build 4 of AOKP that based on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean AOSP is the latest build and it is suggested that it does not come with any major changes but does improve the overall security. The thing is, when you use custom ROMS such as the AOKP Build 4 you will experience the AOSP as well as many other additional customization.

The AOKP team have stepped up to the plate and ported previous AOKP released features in this build, for Galaxy S3 T999 owners your device must be rooted to carry on with the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean based custom ROM AOKP Build 4. The Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 can enjoy the new AOKP JB-MR1 Build 4 based on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and it is relatively easy to install.

Please remember to back up your Samsung Galaxy S3 and we have to let you know that the AOKP build 4 based on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean is still under development, it may contain bugs and a few issues even though we have been told it all works fine.



 

The S III comes with a multitude of pre-installed applications including standard Android ones such as YouTube, Google+, Voice Search, Google Play, Gmail, Map, and Calendar, in addition to Samsung-specific apps such as ChatON, Game Hub, Video Hub, Social Hub and Navigation. To address the fact that iPhone users are reluctant to switch to Android because the OS is not compatible with iTunes, from June 2012 Samsung offered customers of its Galaxy series the Easy Phone Sync app to enable the transfer of music, photos, videos, podcasts, and text messages from an iPhone to a Galaxy device. The user is able to access Google Play, a digital-distribution multimedia-content service exclusive to Android, to download applications, movies, music, TV programs, games, books, and magazines.

Apart from S Voice, Samsung has directed the bulk of the S III's marketing campaign towards the device's "smart" features, which facilitate improved human-device interactivity. These features include: "Direct Call", or the handset's ability to recognise when a user wants to talk to somebody instead of messaging them, if they bring the phone to their head; "Social Tag", a function that identifies and tags people in a photo and shares photos with them; and "Pop Up Play", which allows a video and other applications to occupy the screen at the same time. In addition, the S III can beam its screen to a TV or be used as a remote controller (AllShare Cast and Play) and share photos with people who are tagged in them (Buddy Photo Share). Other software features include Smart Alerts, Smart Stay, and S Beam.

The S III can access and play traditional media formats such as music, movies, TV programs, audiobooks, and podcasts, and can sort its media library alphabetically by song title, artist, album, playlist, folder, and genre. One notable feature of the S III's music player is Music Square, which analyses a song's intensity and ranks the song by mood so that the user can play songs according to their current emotional state. With the release of the S III, Samsung debuted its proprietary music management and download application called "Music Hub", designed to compete with Apple's iTunes, iCloud, and iTunes Match services. Music Hub's music catalogue contains over 19 million songs.
