Hey Folks,
First timer here. I'm a refugee from the cyanogenmod boards. I'm a novice at this but did manage to root and install twrp and use the cm nightlies for a couple of years. I own the S3 t999 and have been using d2tmo on Metropcs (NYC) ever since cm10. I know the d2tmo is the tmobile but it has always worked for metro pcs.
Anyway, sometime in mid December, I foolishly updated to cm14.1 from 13.0-20161118-nightly-d2tmo without realizing I was actually upgrading the android version. As you can imagine, without upgrading the gapps, my phone went bonkers. I was barely able to get it back to working order. It has not been the same since and as others have noted, all the cm13 nightlies for d2tmo from cyanogenmod are no longer there and obviously there will be no more further improvements of cm14 . Those last nightlies are too buggy for me, even with the correct gapps.
So my question is, what are my options now ? Are there alternate projects that work like the cm builds ?
So SlimRoms has some builds. Would these work like the CM builds? Would I just install it from twrp , does it matter that I'm going from a CMbuild to a SlimRom ?
I'm looking for something that will continue to improve, easy to update.
Thank you any feedback, sorry I could not post links

Thank you very much anil2653. Very much appreciated.
I'd still like some options moving forward tho, if anyone can speak as to what they would be, that would be great .

I am using the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335130
Chromium ROM build 5
I see that this build isn't that popular and the regular CM stable is update more often.
I am confused as I don't see a CM build for my phone from Mobilicity but Goo manager is showing updates are ready for the regular CM..
Can I just dumped the Chromium and runt he CM build?

You may want to read into a little bit more but this is the thread for cyanogenmod for your phones thread (its the t-mobile/mobilicity thread). From what I searched in the comments it was working for other mobilicity users in the past, but I don't know if anything has happened since. Post your question in that thread and I am sure you will instantly get a response.

slap that thanks button if I have helped
Also in the future I would recommend posting in the T-mobile/mobilicity thread since you will get more people familiar with the device than here in the at&t forum
I'm using Samsung Galaxy s3 i747 d2att....just flashed "[ROM][KERNEL][4.4.2/4.3] Quantum v3.21 & QuantumKernel 1/16". In the about phone settings is the option to update CM nightlies, same as a normal rom from the CM nightly does. This option seems to work as it does bring up available CM nightly roms for download. This Quantum rom is CM based. My question is "should I attempt to install a different CM nightly on this modded rom"? Do you think this option was just left in by mistake by the developer? My instinct tells me not to try it, but I'm not sure if this is an actual update option for the rom. I would ask this in the rom developement section but I am limited by posting rules. Thanks

I don't use Quantum anymore, but I think that's just left in there because it's essentially CM but with tweaks and optimizations. I could be wrong, but if you want Pwn's work, don't use CM's updater.

Thanks for your quick response. That's pretty much what I thought would be the answer, but I did see, in at least one instance, where he advised someone to flash to an earlier CM nightly to try to correct a problem. Thought that maybe that was kind of a standard procedure with CM based roms, & they could continue to be updated with nightlies without losing the tweaks. Thanks again for response!
I tried to use the cyanogenmod installer on my AT&T GS3 and it said it worked but when i booted, i only got CWM asking if i wanted to root because i was unrooted from the reset that takes place. no cyanogenmod then i looked for a build to flash but there are no official cm11 builds. only 10.2 officials and 11 nightlies. does anyone have cm11 official or a fix for the installer? thanks!
I suggest installing cm via custom recovery.

okay, but how should I use the cm11 nightly or would cm12 nightlies be just as stable? I would like to use an official if possible but if I can't, cm12 should be better right?
If you want stable stick with cm11. Lollipop is still a work in progress on the S3.

Okay, should I just use the latest cm11 nightly? There's no stable release for my phone
I flashed the 20150208 nightly earlier this week and it seemed perfectly fine. I had no issues with it, but I only used it for a few hours. SlimKat Stable 9 is my daily driver. I just needed cm on my phone briefly.

Can I use the d2lte releases on my phone? I have the at&t s3 and they have a separate section for it but the last nightlies are from early 2014
You can flash d2lte on the AT&T i747. Most AOSP ROMs unified some of the S3 builds sometime last year. Anything d2lte or d2att should be safe.
Not sure which bootloader is on your phone but some ROMs will only work with the latest modem.
I want a stable CM on my phone. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, what's the lowest CM I can go? CM 11? Please provide link.
Also, is there any rom that runs without gapps?

Yes, you can get a stable CM11. I don't know about flashing CM 10.2 on a Kitkat device, although I heard somewhere that you aren't supposed to flash older software than your device shipped with (on a Nexus, anyways). All US Galaxy S3s were merged into one build for Kitkat, called d2lte (stable download link here). However, they were un-merged for Lollipop builds. The CM11 builds are snapshots, which means they're pretty stable.
AFAIK, most ROMs can run without gapps (including CM). Legend has it one guy went without Google Play Services for a year before the authorities took him away for resisting the overlord Google.
In all seriousness, though, yes, you should be fine without gapps, if you're OK with not having the Play Store.

Haha, thanks man. I'll try installing CM11 from recovery. Currently on CM12 (works fine without gapps), which I like except I can only upload stuff onto my SD via PMP method.
I just got an old Samsung captivate glide and was trying to modernize it a little bit. I think the best working android rom is the "cyanogenmod 11 kitkat4.4.4" that I found on a xda Forum thread. It's nice, but I was just wondering if there was anything else more recent? All the threads went dead around 2014. I know its an unusual request, but I'm just checking all the bases to see is there is anything else more updated for this phone model. Any help would be very appreciated.
I too am using the CM 11 KitKat ROM. It does seem to be the best choice for this old phone. There is a Lineage 11 build but it doesn't work with Xposed (causes boot loop) so I went back to the last CM 11 build dated 2016/11/02.
There is a CM 12 (Android 5.0/Lollipop) ROM, but it's from 2015/03/01 - older than the KitKat ROM. Big problem is, the Glide's camera won't work with it, so it looks like the developers just gave up on it.

Thank you for your reply. I thought as much, but just had to be sure. It never hurts to ask! Thank you and have a nice day
