After starting my android life with an HTC Evo 4G, I moved to the Evo 3D. But now I have the luxury of having the amazing Samsung Galaxy S3, so my new home will be here in the Sprint S3 forums.
Now I have a request: can someone suggest me some good, but STABLE, custom ROMs for my S3?
A side note: My S3 is FLASHED to MetroPCS, so I'm a little wary of updates and flashing ROMs because I don't want to loose my flash settings. Can someone confirm that flashing ROMs will leave my flash settings intact?
Thanks for all your help, and I hope to have a nice stay here in the S3 family!

Been doing the whole custom ROM thing for a while now, but each device is always a little different. I started with an Epic 4G, then had a Nexus S 4G until recently and now have a Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) and was wondering if anyone had any tips to help me hit the ground running?
For instance it looks like I have to use ROM's that are specific to Verison, which makes sense. But are there any Verizon-specific issue I should be aware of?
Or any tools that will help my custom ROM tasks?
Thanx in advance!!!
Hello all,
I just bought a Galaxy Note II N7105, and i need to ask the xda communiti one very important for me question:
I love flashing ROMs and experimenting with my device, but sadly when i came back home with my new toy, i realised that the 4G version of the device has A LOT less support from the xda developers, meaning ALOT less ROMs, MODs and so on.
I have the option to change my device for an N7100 one, so should I change it? Is really the support that much less ?

I recently upgraded from the Note 1 and was just as disappointed when I got to the forums especially as I was looking forward to using Indie's Omega Rom again since my GSG2 days. The 4G version definitely has a lot less support, but the silver lining is that a lot of the T-Mobile and AT&T roms are compatible with the N7105, you just have to make sure you keep you have the right modem for your carrier.
I think there's a thread on here somewhere that lists some of the compatible roms that others have tested, you might have to google it.

So I have been trying to port this to our device (for personal use, seeing as the dev never messaged me back, after 3 months.)
I have been wanting pure stock android for a long time. I know we have a pure stock 4.2.2. ROM, but all I have wanted was a pure stock 4.1.2 ROM. There is one for the international version of the s3. I have tried over and over again to Port this but I can't get it past boot animation. Could anyone help me port this/ port it? It would be very appreciated.
And for those who say "if you want pure AOSP, get a nexus", well, the galaxy nexus camera wasn't good enough as it was 2 years old, so I got the s3 for better specs. Thanks again.

hey i have been having some wifi problems with CM 10.1.2 Aka Android 4.2.2 Jelly BEAN. anywz i have decided to go back to STOCK CUSTOM TOUCHWIZ 4.1.2 and it has been smooth, stable no problems but i like CM on 4.2.2, since Samsung is realising 4.3 for Galaxy S3 next month and 4.4 is already here but 4.2.2 is the most stable and since Sammy will not give out 4.2.2 for Galaxy S3 i had to try with CYANOGENMOD, AOKP, PARANOID, CARBON ROMS to get the feel of 4.2.2 on my S3 which i will never for touchwiz (FU SAMMY, SO MAD THAT I WANNA GO AND PUNTCH SOME SAMSUNG OFFICIALS)
the point is, idont wanna lose TOUCHWIZ and latest stable 4.2.2 with CM so how i can dual boot this two roms, i have read and searched and the only thing that came up was for the old HTC phones like Desires HD, S, Z, EVOS, INCREDIBLES, INSPIRE, MYtouch, Nexus One, Sensation, Thunderbolt and HTC'S stuck on 2.3, or ice cream sandwich, the International Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 right here on XDA, the international Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100, I9100G, the SGS 2 EPIC 4G sprint variant if am correct and some Moto droids plus
wats the big difference or hype that the international can dual boot or can do better than the American Variants???????????????????
anyone finds how to dual boot on the Galaxy S3 I747 PLEASE REPLY ASAP, am sure there's some file, answer or something hidden on this XDA forums that can help me, its just too hard to dig up hundreds of pages just to find a software or programme or app that can do this
any suggestion, idea, solution or ANYTHING is allowed i just need to dual boot, i cant KEEP BACKING UP, RESTORING ROMS WHILE IT TAKES TOO MUCH TIME AND SPACE, MONEY, ITS TOO STRESSFUL, Sometimes it might or might not work cuz of a MD5 file mismatch which makes me wanna hate android more
so help anyway if you can, reply, we can solve it who knows
THIS IS SAMSUNG FAULT THAT AM STUCK ON 4.1.2 ON TOUCHWIZ cuz i cant upgrade and have to USE CM 10.1.2 TO USE 4.2.2 and guess what 4.3 is out and 4.4 will be out sooner than later so arghhhhhhhhhhh it makes wanna get an IPHONE 5 and use their IOS 7 which almost looks identical to gingerbread-ICS-windows PHONE FEEL and its apple its smooth like a baby butt and simple enough 50-60 year old gramma to use it
get yur $h!t TOGETHER Samsung the S3 is just a year old, update it or am done, NEXUS 5, S5, NOTE 3, ONE or even the LUMIA 1020 with the odd couple at the back 42 megs
sorry for the rant but i need to dual boot customs roms
Hey all,
Before this phone I had a Note 4, but through an unfortunate series of events I was rendered phoneless and the Ace IIx is all I can afford right now, so here I am. Anyway, the reason I bring up my prior Note 4 ownership is because on that phone there were a bunch of variants as well, but it was possible to flash roms between some of the variants through flashing a compatible kernel as well, or in more difficult cases a data fix or things of that sort.
Anyway, is anything like that doable here as well? Or are my dreams of flashing PA on my AceIIx fruitless? If that's the case, I'm limited strictly to a few different cm 10/11 builds, beanstalk, omni 4.4 and pacrom 4.2 right? Or are there some more that I've somehow missed?
I had heard there was at the very least also slimkat ported over, but I can't find it anywhere and this gives me hope I've missed something very fundamental.
Any shred of help with any of these questions would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
