Another Leaked Android 4.2.2 Test Firmware (XXUFME7) for Galaxy S3 is Out Now!

Rakesh | 22 Jun 2013 | ROMs/ Samsung

The first Android 4.2.1 firmware for the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 came out months ago in February. It features Jelly Bean 4.2.1 and since then the users of the device have been waiting to get the latest version of Android on their device. It was later reported that the update will begin rolling out shortly after the launch of Samsung’s new flagship the Galaxy S4.

And it really arrived exactly a month ago (May 20 to be exact) with a greater version of Android that was Jelly Bean 4.2.2, but it was still a leaked test firmware with some bugs and issues. Leaked though, the new firmware did give us a glimpse of what the Android 4.2.2 update for our Galaxy S3 will bring to us!

Most of the Galaxy S3 users had been anticipating the new update to arrive in the last week of June but once again we have greeted by another leaked firmware for the device that shows much improvement over the former leak and promises that next time it will come as an official release. As DroidViews, we never failed to give you a detailed reviews of the new firmware updates for the Galaxy S3 and this time too, we are here again to give you an idea of what it offers to help you decide whether you should go for it or not.

About the I9300XXUFME7 Firmware:

Android-4.2.2-Test-Firmware-Galaxy-S3

OS Version: Android Version: 4.2.2 Jelly Bean – JDQ39
PDA: I9300XXUFME7
CSC: I9300OXAFME7
MODEM: I9300XXUFME7
Region: Open Europe (Unbranded)
Build Date: May 21, 2013

New Features and Changes:

Compared to the older I9300XXUFME3 leaked version the  latest I9300XXUFME7 firmware is very different except for a little improvement in performance. Besides, the former was a branded firmware for HotMobile, but this one is unbranded and so you’ll not see the HotMobile bootanimation and the bloats in Hebrew language.

Coming directly from the current Android 4.1.2 firmware, the new version is a big jump in many respects. Having installed it on to your Galaxy S3, you’ll notice the following changes and improvements:

  • Firmware version will be bumped to Android 4.2.2
  • The most striking changes can be seen on the lockscreen that looks completely like the Galaxy S4. You can choose from 2 effects (light and ripple) on the lockscreen. Multiple widgets can be added to it. Like seen on S4, you can set a personalized message or set a digital clock in various sizes. The Facebook and Yahoo new tickers have now gone.
  • Move Apps to SD Card: this is another striking new feature that most users will welcome with open hands, It was recently introduced to Galaxy S4 and now you can move installed (not system) apps to SD Card. Great!
  • Another new thing is the Daydream feature found on Nexus devices with 4.2.
  • You now have 2 pages in the Notification panel and you can toggle between them by tapping the Quick Launch icon at the top right corner.
  • You can expand a notification by tapping and dragging it and take appropriate action.
  • The Settings page has an all new look and now you have tabbed look with different heads.
  • Most Samsung apps like My Files, Music Player, Gallery, Calculator, etc. can now be viewed full screen without the status bar.
  • New voice control feature for controlling Camera, Calls, Music Player apps.
  • New S Voice app from the Galaxy S4 is here.
  • Music Player now looks like that of the Galaxy S4 with some new features like Smart Volume and Voice Control.
  • The new Adapt Display feature under Display settings.
  • Addition of Driving Mode which speaks out certain things like caller names, incoming notifications etc.
  • The icons for some apps have been changed.
  • Some new widgets like User Manual, Adapt Sound, Smart Switch,
  • The various modes for viewing images in the Gallery app have been removed now.
  • Performance is faster than Android 4.1.2

I have tested, and am still using, this firmware on my Galaxy S3 for about 20 hours now and it feels quite stable and good. It can be used as a daily driver. The battery life is same as the previous Android 4.1.2.

Screenshots:

 

Download Firmware:

As we mentioned above, the new leaked firmware is unbranded and therefore it can be installed on any Galaxy S3 with model number GT-I9300 that is not locked to a carrier. Just download the Android 4.2.2 firmware from our link below and install it.

Since the firmware file is big and many of you might feel problems with downloading it, I have also added a mirror and torrent link for your convenience.

For Rooted Users:

If you have a rooted Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with a custom recovery installed on it, you can install the the Android 4.2.2 ROM from below using CWM or TWRP just like you flash a custom ROM.

Note:

If you have installed the deodexed version of the XXUFME7 from above, here is the Galaxy S4 launcher and weather widget that works perfect with the new leaked firmware. Just download, extract and flash the zip using CWM. Detailed instructions on installation can be found inside the download package below.

How to Install:

Installing the new firmware on a Galaxy device is very simple for those who have ever done it in the past but if you are new to this, please use our easy tutorial to install it safely and fun way.

    @reuben dias  Hey man, before trying the JB 4.2.2 what firmware are you using exactly? and 1 more thing is your problem already fixed?
    search to the net for solution or if you cant find one, send it for repair either to samsung center or to your repair guys in your city.

          Thank God, no serious problem then. Turn off phone, pull out the SIM, reinsert it and turn on. Reboot the device a couple of times. Go to settings> more networks> mobile network> network operators, scan for networks and select your network.

      That is really as a serious problem. Had you ever created a backup of your phone’s EFS?

      https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-efs-data-imei-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-did-you-do-it/

      Try installing the original firmware for your country. Where are you from, Reuben? I do not guarantee that it will fix the issue but in some cases it helps.

    I have installed 4.2.2 on my S3 and it works great plus I love the new features however I have one (small) problem – actually it is a big problem – I can’t make or receive calls, texts or data! I am on Orange here in the UK and every time I try to make a call it says ‘Not Registered on Network’ I experience this occasionally on the stock firmware (even though in warranty repairs by Samsung dispute such issues, but hundreds of people are talking about it on the net) Do you guys have any ideas on what could be the problem? If not can you tell me how to roll it back to 4.1.

    Thanks in advance for any help and advice 🙂

      Hi Luke, it is just obvious that will face network related issues if you install a firmware that is not meant for your phone at all. Your phones is network locked with Orange but the firmware you installed is for GT-I9500 GSM International.

      I would suggest you to uninstall this and install the firmware meant for your phone using this guide: http://droidviews.com/2013/how-to-downgrade-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/

    Rooted my s3 on stock 4.1.2 rom now if I should flash this leaked rom do I still need to factory reset it. If so, so please suggest some apps that can even back up my game progress as well.

      You need not factory reset because this ROM will automatically wipe all your data. Do not forget to backup your current ROM in CWM before installing. Use titanium Backup app.

        well I have done the back up but the question is that I have never yet wiped the data and when I am going to do so it will wipe of all the data and then will the titanium back will stay or it will also get deleted.

          Install TB and backup your apps to external sd card. Then install this firmware and root it. Reinstall TB, open the app and restore the apps.

      If your phone is rooted, just download the appropriate version. It works fine for me (flashed via CWM). I still have the root privileges.

    I’ve installed the newly leaked firmware for about a week ago. It seems fine, perfectly smooth in every page. Then i’ve installed S4’s TW launcher and weather widget. Everything is looks good.

    Like @disqus_b5lTufTP7F:disqus said, i did not have sws.odex, i deleted sws.jar and it was no problem.
    Everything is perfect for me, thank you very much.

      MIUI is good! You need not install this ROM to install MIUI. If you have a rooted Galaxy S3, just download MIUI Rom and flash it. As for widgets on lockscreen, I do not think MIUI supports that now.

          Actually, there are 2 types of firmwares: wipe and no wipe. Usually we have no wipe firmwares that do not delete any data and we have to wipe/reset device when some files clash and result in bootloop. Since it is a test firmware, it might have wipe attribute.

            Hi Philip, the Move to SD button is highlighted or can be pressed only on apps that can be moved. You cannot move system apps. They have to be in root/system folder as they require special file permissions.

            No all apps support that feature on a non-rooted phone. Install a game like Angry Birds and you will be able to move that.

            DroidViews says:

            Actually, the phone has 2 partitions for the internal storage. One is root partition where system files and installed apps are stored, and the other which is available for users. When the apps are moved, they go to internal ad from root storage. So technically they are on the same storage.

          • Jul 15, 2013 at 2:26 PM
            Philip Neri Conserva says:

            so what could be the advantage because it is moved but same storage? because sir my first impression of this feature is to save storage capacit

            DroidViews says:

            Actually it does free the internal free storage which might make the device slow.

    This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled.

        Yes! every time I try to open CWM that’s the pop-up error message.

        I am thinking that is the reason why I cannot upgrade to 4.2.2

          No, it will not delete anything but in case your device is stuck on bootloop, that is sometimes a normal thing, you will have to wipe data factory reset and thus you might lose your apps and data stored on internal SD. Conclusion: Must backup things before doing any such thing.
