GS3 search function sideload? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I have a Sprint GS3, rooted with the latest OTA update.
I read that Apple is fighting Samsung, and the update made
my search not work as good? What am I missing now?
I heard local searching, does that mean based off my GPS
location and google, or local content folders? I also read
you could re-flash or side load the feature back in. If I should
flash these features back, is there a link to a zip I can just
flash from clockwork? Any explanation of all this would be
appreciated, and I am in the USA.

Looking for VZW 4.0.2 update to apply in CWM

Searched for this and asked in Q&A. It's all GSM people. Haven't found anything for the CDMA version. You guys are the best resource
I'm rooted/unlocked with permanent CWM.
The phone keeps interrupting me with the update notification.
It fails to install because I have CWM.
I don't want to install a new ROM, just want the update. Is there an update for 4.0.2 that can be applied through CWM? ... like an update.zip anything flashable to bring me to 4.0.2?
Thank you all for your hard work.
Just because you don't get an answer to your question doesn't mean you post it in development section.

That wasn't my reasoning. It was a development related question about files that development would likely have. That's why I thought it was the most logical spot for it.
My apologies.

Good question, since it was originally Sprint I would say Sprint, but you'll need a Verizon prl for data to work... take that with a grain of salt though cuz I could be wrong
Just make a backup and try some roms, worse thing that will happen is a soft brick, then Odin to the rescue! Just don't flash an international version Rom, that will hard brick you...
After you find out, let us know so we can let the next person know also, thanks! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks for the reply flash, I agree about not using international roms for these phones, although I haven't tried any, I was able to see through some digging around that they generally don't work out...I flashed Sprint's version rom along with a sprint-verizon hybrid prl which is looking good so far..txt, calling, data and mms all working
I installed the phantomblaze 2.1, 5176 prl and finally flashed the TPR-MB.zip to get rid of the OTA updates pop up..5176 prl gets rid of the constant roaming notifications, that's why I chose to flash that prl for anyone that comes in looking..did a lot of research and the forum was very helpful..If anyone finds themselves in a similar situation, feel free to msg and I can help u out through the process..I am still curious to whether verizon roms would work if anyone has any experience with that, please share..thanks

Pretty much *all* of the roms in this forum are for the at&t variant, and almost all of them are 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. If yours is a SGH-i747, these roms will work on your phone, you just need to go into Settings->More/Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and write down your *working* APN settings to replace the APN settings that come with these roms.

If you can't find it it's because you didn't look properly or didn't go through the trouble of reading any of the search results...
If you were not able of finding a compatible ROM for your device even though you posted on the forum where many of them are, I would say you're not ready to flash custom ROMs on your device. You will most probably run into issues at some point and the ability of searching and finding solutions is a must when doing this type of thing... Don't expect people to help you much when the answer to your problems is right under your nose...

There are several 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 "stock" Touchwiz ROMs ported from T-Mobile, Verizon or our bordering countries (Canada/Mexico) that are for At&t in the development section. There is even a stock At&t 4.1.1 ROM there. There are even more "stock Android" 4.2.2 ROMs in the developer and original developer section.... Just browse and you'll find them.
If you don't know what you're doing, you may not want to flash one though?? If you do, MAKE SURE it's for your phone, I've hard bricked an S3 already flashing an incompatible ROM.
There is at least one post with a link to download the stock JB 4.1.2 update file, TC is either to dumb to find it, or is lazy and wants someone to post a link for them.

[Q] Why won't i9505G TAR work, and where do I post a bounty?

So I noticed, in the i9505G Android development forum, that there are flashable Odin TARs for 4.2.2, and 4.3. I was really hoping there'd be a a TAR for the M919 that makes it indistinguishable from the i9505G. I'm currently running a 4.3 ROM, but it's not quite the same.
In all of the i9505G Odin threads, it says it won't work on an M919, but it doesn't say why. What exactly are we waiting for?
If I were to start a bounty, would it be worth my time, would other people contribute, and where would I do it?
Believe the partitions are different and a bootloader.

Same exact question being asked, one link has the reason as to WHY this wouldn't work. Yours is unique in the sense that you want to start a bounty, but other than that, all I did was look at page 1 and copy the threads, and then I typed "i9505g" into the magical search bar... There are more that can be found with a little bit more intensive searching, but you get the point.

I've already looked at all of those posts. All they say is you can't repartition. I did some more searching last night, and found that you can't because you need files signed by Samsung, and that program doesn't exist yet?
Still wondering where the best place to post a bounty would be. Couldn't find one of those.

Because that tar file will attempt to flash the radio and they are incompatible.

Go to CM's website and use the built in installer.
Also you need to report your post so it can be moved to the sprint s3 area so you can get users familiar with your device to help you. This area is for the international i9300 and anything you flash or instructions you follow from here will brick your phone as you need to perform more steps first before you can get underway.
