                                still using this with lollipop 5.1.x , though its old, it still rocks the hell out of other phones. its 3 years now, though you need to repair some little things to maintain it such as the power button, the usb port, and even the home button, if you want to use it for another 3 years. if you have one, and still working, try to custom-rom-ed it.

                                        Guys, calm down. Whoever is not satisfied by the performance of their GS3. Please update your phone to lollypop 5.1.1 using this ROM:

                                        http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/5-1-x-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3066864

                                        Believe me, this ROM is supersmooth, stable(can be used as daily driver) and battery backup is also good. I am getting free RAM of approx. 277MB almost everytime. I am a hardcore user and i normally dont suggest people. But this ROM is too good and so i wanted u guys also to feel it.

                                        CONDITIONS APPLIED: Do a clean flash. Wipe cache, Dalvic cache and do a factory reset and then install this ROM. Else you are bound to face problems and Bugs. Don't complain if u ignore this point.

                                        Hope this helps.
                                        Stay happy :)
