Upgrading to CM - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I was looking around the internet and found how to root to JF build but, since he is no longer making builds I would like to use the CM build. Looking for links with instructions or instructions on how to do this. I am really new to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cyanogenmod 10 builds, how can you tell what Android version

Good Evening,
So I have been running Cyanogenmod on my ATT S3 for a few months now. I was a big AOKP fan, but have to have my USB audio out, and from what I understand it's not functional. I don't pay close attention to new builds but occasionally I get an itch to flash something new.
My question(s) are, how can you tell what version each Cyanogenmod is? What version did they start 4.2 on? 4.2.1? 4.2.2? I would like to try the each but I don't know which is which?
Also is there a file repository that I can see ALL the versions for my phone, not just a few picked versions from the last several months. Thank you for your help.

In about phone, you should have your firmware version.
I think CM10 = 4.1.2; CM10.1 = 4.2.2. It should mention it in the OP and on their website either way.
Thank you very much for your reply, though that was not what I was looking for. Please forgive me for being vague in my request. I should have asked where is a source of information, on the internet, on what nightly builds are what version of android. The ROM zip files and download site only state CM version and date, I have looked at the githhub and BBQ changelog and have really only seen info on the coding changes made to them. I would just like to know what the last version of 4.1.2 was and what the last version of 4.2.1 was and when they switched, that's all. Thanks!
I am pretty sure the best way is to do some more digging through the git hub or the change log. I would the the change log should show the change in versions. If not maybe the commit list in the diffrent branches.

New to Android

Hi guys, need your help. I am coming over from the iPhone. Just ordered a used S3 for my first Android phone and very excited.
It should arrive this week and I would like to have it rooted. I would like to also install the latest stable Cyanogenmod release for this phone. Is it 10.2?
I have never rooted a phone or loaded any roms. I am having trouble finding the CM rom that's the latest most stable one. I just see a bunch of different names and have no clue which one I need. Can you guys recommend something?
Can someone point me in the right direction? I would like something quick, good battery life, and good for a daily driver. I saw a youtube video that showed Cyanogenmod as most closest to stock and very stable.
I would really appreciate your help. thanks in advance

That's a one-stop shop for S3, rooting and flashing custom recovery. Check that thread and follow the instructions there. You need to root your phone first and then flash a custom recovery like TWRP, before you can flash Custom ROM's like CM 10.2
Yes CM 10.2 is the latest version of CM with Android 4.3. CM 11 with 4.4 Kitkat is also in for S3, but dont expect it to be stable.
Also, release that there are lots of ROM's based on CM source, so they should work fine too. There are other very good custom ROM's like Carbon, Paranoid Android etc which offer unique features, while there are hybrid ROM's that combine features from all these. You need to try different ones to see what works best for you.
Also, refer to this video and others from that channel.

I suggest you take time to read, then take time to try all the roms here, as they are all good.
As we do not encourage arguments over which rom is best or is "most stable" I am going to close this thread, please take time to read what is being offered in the development areas, and welcome to android phones.

Merging with Official CM12 nightlies?
First of all, thanks for taking the effort to build this for people like me, who just can't wait for a CM with lollipop!
I'm a long time CM user myself and have used unofficial CM builds before. None of them merged with the official CM builds when they started rolling out and I honestly have no idea if that's even possible but I figured it can't hurt to ask.
So what I'm wondering is, will you be trying to provide an update that switched to the official nightlies when they start rolling out or will it be up to me to flash the official rom myself?
Thanks for the hard work! Regardless of the outcome, I'm flashing this baby right now!

When the official nightlies start rolling out, I'll stop posting mine. Since I plan on running builds up until then, you should be able to flash an official CM nightly right over one of mine.
That said, since tons of features still need to be added between now and then, full wipes might be needed more than once anyway.
Is anyone else having a problem where all downloads fail in any browser... Every thing else seems stable play store etc... I have tried a few lollipop builds and have the same problem
all,
I wonder what kenrel that support dt2w (double tap 2 wake) would support this rom? I tried so!e of the kernel on this formu and it results in extremely slow speed.
Thanks in advance!
changelog?
Where can i locate the changelog for the latest builds:? I am wondering because i am curious to know if volume wake has been implemented into the rom.
Daily builds
I know you can dirty flash over each daily build but do you have to re-flash gapps
Wooohoooo!
See what i found here :d
[quote name="nupi" post=57837506]Wifi seems to be broken for me on the 20141229 build (flashed after flashing 5.02 bootloader coming from KK). Can't even turn it on....[/QUOTE]
I didn't run into this. Any confirmation from more people?

Admin Note: this thread has a dedicated questions and answers section which you can access here -->.
I have the same problem. Newest bootloader (4.0.4) and the newest Radio. Nexus 7v2 & cm12 the New build
email app
Hello,
I'm getting a FC with the email app (not gmail) when attempting to view email details from Combined View. Individual account views are fine. Notifications, previews, and headers are all working properly. Orientation doesn't matter.
I've done clean install, root app delete, etc. Still FC. Can anyone confirm?
Also, how are you guys getting GPS to work? I can flip the switch all day long but Maps cannot find "my location" unless I'm on WiFi.
Thanks for the look.
Official cm12 nightly
Since this room was based on 5.02 and the official cm nightlies are based on 5.01, do you have to wipe?

New at this help

I want to start to build ROMs my self. Just like from a base ROM. Where should I start? Is there some stuff I can read or watch to get me started. Any help would be much appreciated.
This is what started me down the path http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662325
This guide is great because it's device specific and offered by the world's most popular ROM
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_e980
This would be great to familiarize yourself with the building environment. Keep in mind PA and some other ROMs love to do it their own way and are more complicated. But most ROMs are similar to CyanogenMod in my experience.
Cheers

Post-Cyanoggenmod t999 d2tmo

Hey Folks,
First timer here. I'm a refugee from the cyanogenmod boards. I'm a novice at this but did manage to root and install twrp and use the cm nightlies for a couple of years. I own the S3 t999 and have been using d2tmo on Metropcs (NYC) ever since cm10. I know the d2tmo is the tmobile but it has always worked for metro pcs.
Anyway, sometime in mid December, I foolishly updated to cm14.1 from 13.0-20161118-nightly-d2tmo without realizing I was actually upgrading the android version. As you can imagine, without upgrading the gapps, my phone went bonkers. I was barely able to get it back to working order. It has not been the same since and as others have noted, all the cm13 nightlies for d2tmo from cyanogenmod are no longer there and obviously there will be no more further improvements of cm14 . Those last nightlies are too buggy for me, even with the correct gapps.
So my question is, what are my options now ? Are there alternate projects that work like the cm builds ?
So SlimRoms has some builds. Would these work like the CM builds? Would I just install it from twrp , does it matter that I'm going from a CMbuild to a SlimRom ?
I'm looking for something that will continue to improve, easy to update.
Thank you any feedback, sorry I could not post links

Thank you very much anil2653. Very much appreciated.
I'd still like some options moving forward tho, if anyone can speak as to what they would be, that would be great .
