New to the forum - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Recently purchased this phone through sprints awesome deal this past weekend. Had a ns4g which I love hate to see it go. Is this phone simple to root?
Any 4.2 based roms?
Thanks

Simple to Root yes, Most roms are 4.1 based i believe.. Try The People's Rom.. Great overall performer with a few tweaks.

Easy to root yes I had this phone less then 4 hours and it was rooted. The only thing that took so long is I went out to dinner after buying it. Rooted both mine and the wife's and tested TPR (The Peoples Rom) and CM10 both are very ROCK solid. Not sure which one I am going to stick with but leaning on TPR.

To my knowledge the only ROM's currently out are 4.0.1 and 4.1.1 based. I don't believe any 4.2 ROM's are out, but you can check through the forums. Though, I'm pretty certain there isn't.

yeah I'm still learning the whole building processes so I used this on my NS4g so I figured I would build one for the Sprint GN I havent really tested to much form this build besides making a call or two so I'll need feedback and this repository hasn't updated in a while so the build is IMM76D I may try to update this later for now my focus is on more of my own stuff

IMM76D is what sprint gnex ships with and it was pretty good when they updated to FD02 radio so no complaints on that part for me I'm downloading now will give feedback
Edit: I got it up and running so far so good just like I remember I'll get back to you about wallet, mms, etc
Update: mms works calling is good so is speaker

Best ROM EVAR.
This rom seems to have a great rep..and I've heard of it from owning previous devices but can't say I ever ran it. Can someone just break down the basics like why people love it so much or what stands out about it? Would be appreciated thanks

when i had my ns4g buglessbeast was the best ICS rom by far. miles ahead of the competition could be different now but hard to think so. 1 thing i remember most was my gps would lock quick as ****. haha
I used to run bugless beast on my old OG Droid. Glad to see it's still around.

It pretty much looks like the stock rom. With very minor UI changes.
Do I have to download gapps for this ROM or is everything included?

Paranoid Android ROM?

was just curious if anyone has caught wind of port of paranoid android rom coming to the sprint gs3. ive seen it on the international and the verizon one. id love to be able to pick between the 3 different uis on this phone. thanx in advance. and befor anyone flames, yes i did use search lol
I want this too
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
super excited for this as well but patient. While some had the s3 since initial launch over a month ago. Many have only had the phone for 2 to 3 weeks. It will happen give it time.
But Verizon got it already
Verizon
That was the version I thought would have the least dev with the locked boot loader and all

I don't follow this comment. Paranoid Android Rom and FreeGS3 are no where near the same type of rom.

I've ported it to the AT&T S3 but haven't made a thread for it yet because I have one bug left in it, call audio doesn't work. I could port it to the Sprint S3 and upload it in this thread if anyone wants to test it. Call audio should be the only bug, well if there's any bugs in CM10 those will be present too.

The more ROMs the better
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
well im personally using aokp right now. it takes care of a lot of the cm10 bugs and it has a few customizations that i really enjoy already baked in (i.e. center clock and circlemod battery). the main reason i want the paranoid android is the in depth ui changing. and with jellybean now having 3 different uis baked in id love to go through and tinker with all of that. i really want the 7inch notification bar ui and the tablet camera ui ( i love the option wheel look). but just like it was mentioned earlier, more roms is never a bad thing but the only way i see me giving up aokp is for some PA love lol
Yup it is pretty badass

Which ROM in Original Development section should I go to?

There are a whole bunch of cm-like roms, and I would like to go to one! Which one works for you and why?

The latest cm10 nightly or the latest aokp nightly by Casper

And I'm on Hellfire JB which is feeling stable and great to me. I remove some "bloat" (in my eyes it is) and I'm happy with it... what you need to do is test them all out for about a 2-3 days to test battery and then switch to a new one to see what it feels like and to test battery again. Over and over until you find what you like. Me personally I like AOKP but trying out new things while everything is moving so fast for these roms. Once you flash official CM10 a new AOKP is out and so on so its hard to base these roms and say which is best. Try them out and you will find what works best for you. Also this thread is frowned upon. Lol.

What's your favorite custom rom for the GSIII?

I haven't had a chance to try most of them but so far I like paranoid android 2.52. I was able to get the GS3 stock icons & sounds on it and touchwiz also but I'm using the trebuchet launcher since touchwiz doesn't auto-rotate. I haven't had any problems with it & it runs pretty smooth. What's your favorite rom?

I was actually thinking of giving that one a try soon. Do you know if the media hub works on it? I was able to get it working on my paranoid android rom and I was even able to download my free copy of the avengers but I can't watch it since it's locked for some reason so the media hub is pretty useless so far

i use FrostyJB. i usually jump around from ROM to ROM but i find this ROM easy to change toggles, brightness, good battery life and everything just works well and I don't have to worry much about not being able to use my phone for something.
I think I'll try frosty pretty soon. It seems to be a pretty good stable rom. Have any of you tried the serenity rom? It's a port based of the galaxy note II. I haven't flashed it yet but it seems pretty interesting

Have been rolling PA 2.54 for ages, love it. Everything working fine, havent noticed anything thats broken or missing. Big thanks to gokussjx
I gave 2.99 a go but its still quite new so will wait a while before updating permanently and just 'check in' once in a while, so to speak, to see if its been made as stable as 2.54... Am very much lookin forward to being able to use 2.99 as my daily.
Am curious as to the difference between the roms for the GT-I9300 and SGH-T999... Does the T999 have anything the I9300 doesnt?

i personally dont want to ask for an eta because i dont even ask the devs here for those (nor will i ever ) but if they would at least say " hey we are working on it and here are the problems we are having" saying that would be such a nice gesture and maybe some devs would help out so they could hurry up and push the update

The t989 devs have put out a literal tonne of jb roms already.
And if you are talking about xda devs helping get official jb out....well.....I will just say not gonna happen. Xda devs are not affiliated with google, samsung or the carriers in any way.
So...I could care less when official jb comes out....cause I've been running it already for months!

I just installed embryo 6.8 today. So far so good! Was using Whitehawkz Aokp 4.2.2 for about a month...its very good! I just wanted to try a TW rom again, since last time I did there were alot more issues on the t989. Seems most of its been ironed out now....even have signal bars now.
Anyway, those are the 2 I've used recently. There are a bunch of great current roms tho! Just read thru the different rom threads to see what folks are saying about them.
Remember....for what I do with my phone I have very few if any issues....but for what you do with your phone...that could be different. Just nandroid a safe good backup....and flash anything that appeals to you. If you don't like, then restore your nandroid.
Have fun!

some things can be ported (like themes), but some of the apps are hardware specific and probably wouldn't work on our phone.

T-Mobile has announced software updates for the many of the devices I've used over the years and rarely have they ever followed through. There are plenty of JB ROMs that are worth looking at that will blow any T-Mo OTA out of the water.
And the T989 doesn't have the hardware capacity to run what the S4 will be able to run.
