All information here relate to international version of Samsung Galaxy S3(GT-I9300). 99% of information can be found on intranets. These are just personal notes/summary on given topic and you might want to go and do your research/read up on the topic in detail.
Hardware
Detailed information can be found at wiki, therefore I see no reason to duplicate it here.
- CPU - ARM Cortex-A9, quad-core, 1.4GHz
- GPU - ARM Mali-400 MP4
Required tools
- Android SDK, resp. adb(search for “adt-bundle-linux-x86_64”, requires “compat” libs)
First things first
ClockworkMod, root
Alternatives to 'droid
FirefoxOS aka Boot2Gecko
I found couple posts related to B2G port on i9300, but it seems to me these efforts grinded to halt. More investigation (= clone B2G git and try to build it) is required.
Tizen
Despite Samsung got S3 with Tizen officialy certified, there is no public release and, pretty much, nothing else.
Ubuntu
Information can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/i9300. However, it seems there are some issues and phone isn't much of use on the phone part. This isn't much of a surprise.
