Good news guys...Siyah Kernel is out for Sammy Jelly Bean ROM´s (only audio tweaks are working) 
 
Best of both worlds now! 

 
Apparently the official JB update has been pushed back to October/November

That's fantastic news!  I'm heading to XDA right now.

Just received my Leckerton UHA-6S.MKII DAC/Amp and am thrilled to report that it also works via OTG.

It's a gorgeous little amp, very impressed with it so far.

Hi every body
 
i was considering buying a cowon x7 for it's excellent audio quality that every body is describing (as i am a musician & want the best on a budget) ... but i also wanna a new phone so my question is does the S3 having the Wolfson chip can be compared to the cowon x7 in terms of audio quality without any tweaks or EQ ?
 
Thanks

 

[Kendoji]

I haven't heard that particular Cowon, but I would expect it to out-perform the SGS3 soundwise (happy to be corrected).  
 
It's not really a fair comparison, though.  The SGS3 (international version) has good sound for a phone, and has the added benefit of supporting many external DAC/amps via USB.  I'm generally quite happy with the headphone output and love the fact that I can scale up the sound whenever I like.

Thanks for your reply Kindoji.... will if you heard any cowon please tell me how much do the sound excel the S3 in quality terms ( i'm a classical & jazz maniac so instruments separation is a must)
 
thanks

So, is it a different kind of Beats, or actually good?

If you get the international version of the Galaxy S3 then it'll be amazing like the galaxy S.  (Wolfson DAC inside).  Sadly, the USA version doesn't have it   neither does the Canada version I believe. 
 
It'll probably be as good as the Galaxy S2....(not stellar but still pretty good). 

 

[StVeronus]

NZ,
 
Can we get an update on the US & International both with and without the amp?  Really interested as I'm in the market for a new handset.
 
Cheers

Not for me on either my international or AT&T S3s (it didn't fix the Pico not working with my international one either, mores the pity).
