There are many options for the at&t branded s3's. Just check out the Android development and original android development forums. Roms range from touchwiz based to more custom source code based. Know what you're doing before you flash and make sure to only flash a rom for your device (not i9300, etc)

Shouldn't have too many issues as you would just need have the straight talk APN to use.
Really take your pick and look around and see what you like
Thanks for the input. I'm familiar with flashing roms. I've been using a rooted inspire 4g for 4 years now. The touch wiz. Is all new to me though because I love sense Roms.
The reason I asked about two roms is because I saw a mod in the forums with an aroma installer that would make quick work of themeing my gf's phone all pink.
She gets a kick out of me rendering my phone useless after a vigourus bout of themeing but I don't think she would find it that funny if it was her phone out of cammition while I restored a back up

I was just wondering if I am able to root and install a custom rom from this forum. I was told on the SGS2 forum that this forum would be best. Is it true?
Thanks in advance

Short answer - probably not easily if at all.
Even if there are not any technical differences between the devices - which I do not know enough on the US Cellular GS2 to say - it is often difficult to do what you want. I saw this with my previous device, the LG Optimus S (Globally Optimus One).
Now in some cases I have seen devs be able to take a build for one phone and easily port it over to a similar phone (ex. Optimus S/V/C) versus having to start from scratch. It will depend on how much HW/SW differences exist between the two devices.
Hope that helps!

DO NOT FLASH OUR RADIOS. DO NOT FLASH ROM/KERNEL unless you know it is safe.
Epic Touch 4G contains 4G. US Cellular Galaxy S2 doesn't. This is NOT a case of same phone, different branding on the same CDMA type network (Samsung Vitality/Samsung Admire)
However, if you are not rooted, people seems to have figured out how to root it using Epic 4G Touch methods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526093

hey man here is a stable mod and a few guides to fix a few things.
Get your rom from here
facebook fix here
Yes we can flash their ROMs, hell we have even flashed their modems before! However do a LOT of research before you do so, and don't be afraid to ask for help from another US Cellular user on here. Also to get a few things like MMS, and the carrier branding to be correct the ROMs require a few basic edits.
There is plenty of support for this device

If you are a cyanogenmod user than here are cm9 nightlies for your phone:

They are exactly the same as the sprint version just with wimax stuff removed and a few us cellular settings.

I am sorry if this has already been answered but I have searched and have not been able to answer my question. I am trying to update my girlfriends htc EVO with a stable cricket rom with decent battery life. The one she has now kills her battery in about 5 hours. The phone is rooted, and currently has a cricket rom installed. Thanks for any help.

Come on guys, nobody has suggestion for a rom. Or does anyone know where I can go and see if somebody else knows. Thanks again.

Cricket rom?
Yes, I need to find a cricket rom to use with the EVO. There have been some before I need to find a new one with decent battery life
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You'd be better off finding a cricket rom then flashing a different kernel, experimenting with some build.prop tweaks, underclocking or undervolting with vipermod.
Yeah, if I knew how to do all that it would be cool but I don't. I think I just need to find another forum that has more experience with cricket stuff. Thanks to everyone though.

If you can flash a Rom, you can make the changes the previous poster suggested. At some point, you will need to go beyond just flashing and actually tweaking. Do yourself the favor and do some reading.

hey if your talking for the HTC EVO 4G, In my experience and opinion this would be myn 2.2 or nitrous rom these both are great roms for Cricket! as far as kernals a htc 17 or 18 or toastmod is fine..my phone is currently running.. nitrous v1.4.7 and im using nitrousv0.3-sbc kernal ..yeah i know SBC blah blah blah but i havent had any issues!
MikG.
I gave up development of my own rom Jiminy tuned for cricket about a year ago and have been using MikG since. It works great.
yeah I've had my evo OG 4 bout 3 months. Flashed it to cricket the day after I got it. I've used all the ICS ROMS and can vouche that they do work even on cricket. "Flashing" a ROM doesnt really effect the carrier settings that are "flashed" to the phone. But do make a nandroid backup and keep a sense ROM that has EPST on your SD card. You will know it has EPST on it if you dial ##3424# . You might need this later if you have to change any settings or bring your phone in to get reflashed or whatever.
Hi Experts,

As per this sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736474 I'd say no.
The euro s3 also has a quad core, while we have a dual core so I doubt there are enough similarities to cross roms.
I'm currently on a captivate patiently waiting to upgrade to an s3, so I've been doing some reading.

I'm pretty curious as to why you'd even want to do this.
Just in case anyone does Flash a INT version of a Rom ..
Here is how to fix it.

I take no credit, just relaying info
Virgin Mobile's new S2 is actually just an E4GT with VM branded software. VM runs on Sprint towers, but if we flash your roms certain things won't work. I'm here to ask if any devs would be willing to help us. Our forum is on phandroid, but most of you guys are on xda. Like I said, your roms will boot but certain things (mms/4g/3g) won't work. If anyone would be willing to help us, please contact me on xda or find our forum on android forums (it's under "Samsung Galaxy S2 4G"). Thanks and merry Christmas.

I have a sprint e4gt flashed to virgin Mobile and everything on every rom works great. Need to fix apn settings for mms to work but never ran into any other problems.. Maybe it's because it's a sprint phone..

If it helps any our model number is SPH-D710VMUB. Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Also, if anyone can point a dev to this thread, that'd be great.

One thing I'm going to experiment with after activating the GN2 today is a quick flash of CSC data. The goal would be that you flash this image in Odin after a build and it will apply the correct settings.
Now keep in mind I won't be able to test beyond flashing as this phone will be deactivated. But if it works - and I should be able to see what the settings are at least - I'll put it out there for others to test.
Until then the best way to get around it is to modify the settings manually. Sprint, Boost and Virgin are the same h/w, all the issues you are experiencing are settings based only.
I'm quite curious about this... Will the Sprint rom work for this phone? Or would I lose some kind of functionality?
I'm about to recieve Virgin Mobile's S2 and I don't want to run into any kind of issues :laugh:
It will just gotta change MMS settings
Were you able to change your APN settings on a custom ROM? I'm on paranoid and its not letting me I'm trying to flash a e4gt to metro.

I think you'll have to go in and change it manually. I think the file is called apns.xml? Correct me if I'm wrong, someone.

Should just be a mmsc setting change
Sprint touchwiz doesn't have files to work with virgins mms. That's why there's no tw fix yet, only cm10. You can read more about it in one of the mms fix threads, but I can't remember which one. I'd expect it to be okay with the virgin Mobile rom sextape is going to release soon though. :fingerscrossed:

I have a slightly used sprint note 2 coming in a few days. I am wondering if roms/kernels from the other cdma notes are compatible (Verizon, us cellular)?
Just found a thread in development. With a few mods they will work.

Im running a verizon rom [beanstown build22] on my sprint phone, yes it works with that config.zip method and flashing a sprint kernel afterwards. Just make sure you dont flash a rom with a radio built into it [check for modem.bin inside the rom] and your good.
Sent from my note 2 ya bish!
Thanks for the heads up about the modem.bin. I have been reading up through the forums. Thankfully I am not new to android just Samsung. I built a few source roms for the HTC EVO 4G (Not the lte) and the EVO 3d. Now both those are old phones and out of everything in my price range this was the best for me (removable battery, sdcard slot, HDMI video out). I am sure before long I will have a rom or two posted. Although with all the cool roms out to try it might be awhile before I can start a project.
