What makes roms different on carriers? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

What's the difference on a vzw ROM for the gs3 and the sprint? Like I understand how gsm network ones are.

Verizon and Sprint have their own set of apns and it's wired through the framework. Most of all, the biggest difference is the kernel. The methods used to rotate screens are much different than the method used in sprints kernel. This causes landscape mode to be upside down.

^^exactly what he said also vendor files are completely different. This post will most likely be moved as questions go in Q/A not General and this very exact question was just asked this past weekend.

Ehh I'm more or less just giving you and kenny sh*t. Poor guy moves at least a dozen threads every morning just in the forums I lurk, and he mods in way more than I stalk.

Permanent sidebar app?

Hey just got my first android after being with the iPhone for like 5 years. No jailbreak, no fun...So I thought I would try android and I like it so far
Is there any sort of permanant sidebar tweak you can have for your note 2?
Something like this:

If you've used Ubuntu 12.04+ a sidebar like that where you could launch your apps and app switch quickly. I am talking about a permanent "Multi-window"
The screen is huge, I wouldn't mind if my screen got a little smaller so that I could use 1 hand

Any updates on this? Really would like to have a permanent, customizable sidebar
Thanks
You need to try a few aosp roms. Cyanfox, bam, pacman, and omni have side bars.

4.2 TW ROMs?

Hey guys, With the Galaxy S4 announced yesterday and the apparent S3 4.2.1 leak, I'm just wondering if there's any timetable to get a 4.2 touchwiz rom on our GN2. I would like to get the TW features back that I lost on pacman and i really don't want to have to deal with the SD card issues if possible. Any info out there?
Nope.

How do you search for that because I tried. I thought the reason for the q&a section was to ask questions. If you aren't going to answer the question, why even open the topic and waste your obviously precious time to type out an answer?

I just saw that they are expecting OTAs for the gs3 in the next couple weeks and thought it might be pretty easy to port over of that's the case. Instead of just saying no or not addressing the question at all, could someone explain why?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Because they are completely different devices and one has nothing to do with the other. And by search I mean this exact question has been asked and answered more than once in this very forum. So if you actually searched you would have known that

I guess my thinking is that back in the day when I was using a evo 3d we got a bunch of ports from the one s, so I thought that might be possible here. Are you telling me that isn't true for samsung devices?
And my question about how to search for it isn't rhetorical. I searched for tw 4.2, touchwiz 4.2, gs3 port, and a few more terms I don't remember.

I don't See why Someone would want a S3 rom on a note 2 You would lose So many features

Not exactly *nothing*...after all the Perseus kernel most of us dev teams use on our TWiz ROMs is a port of an S3 kernel.
That being said...anything above low level processes is pretty damn different.

[Q] LJC-MA7 All in one

Are we suppose to flash the LJC-MA7 All in one file every time we flash a new ROM? I am asking because I noticed my signal strength has been weak and it stopped connecting to Air Wave. I already updated the PRL and Profile. Any other advice?
I never flashed it and haven't had any issues
So feel free to use whatever modem on the rom you're on

Wrong forum. You should ask this question in the forum for the specific mod/zip you are referring to.

He doesn't have enough posts to post in the dev forum, he has a question which he asked in q&a which is the right forum for noobs to post questions in.

What's new!

I haven't been on XDA for months and my phone is severely deprived. I believe the last time I flashed a rom was back in October. Well since then, it has been very very slow. I've rejected countless updates that Sprint has tried pushing to me but it has been nagging me for too long and I finally have some time to get things caught up.
So...in short...what's new? What's the latest and greatest rom that you guys would recommend that I try? Anything else new that I have missed in the past few months as far as groundbreaking tweaks and all that? I'm constantly dropping calls lately for whatever reason...
Umm....yeah
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321867
Also, dropped calls very likely means that LTE is being expanded/upgraded in your area so be happy that they're dropping !
^ That looks like a great rom and it's a very cool port but I'm looking for something less hands-on that doesn't require me to stay up to date with constant flashing.
Just look around...?

Is it possible to get all features of galaxy s4 running on S3 or i will have to buy S

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Well things like answering the phone without touching the screen or the infrared sensor (which lets you switch tv channels) wouldn't work due to the S3 not having these sensor. Also the S3 is lower in performance so you wouldn't be able to use S4 software/ROMs (kinda like you can't use s3 international ROMs with us variants).
TL;DR: No
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
there is a big difference b/w these two devices
ram,processor,rom,sensors etc.....
so basically u cant have everything without paying for it
