Hey I'm running the latest version of CM10 (9/8) with LeanKernel v.0.11...honestly i've been running CM10 nightlies for a few weeks now and this is the snappiest it's ever been! Battery life isn't bad either if you're in an area of good wind goverage. Problem with Wind is that there aren't too many consistently strong signal spots in the GTA, so the GS3 uses up a ton of juice trying to look for a signal.. but other than that, give it a shot! :good: :D

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hoysauce:
Did you root your phone first? I have the latest m build of cm10.

And what version of the galaxy s3 do you have? A t999v?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dhoai:
It's the t999v from wind mobile and it's rooted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hoysauce:
Okay, if you've already rooted your device I suggest you follow the instructions listed under 'Install CyanogenMod 10 on T999v' in the OP of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1775616

Downloaded the latest CM10 build (9/12 works for me), and make sure you also flash gapps after you have flashed CM10. There are also a few kernels being developed that you can flash on top for better performance and/or battery life. My favourite so far has been LeanKernel, it gets updated pretty often. The link for that is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1845836

It's actually a really simple process once you get started. Good luck!:good:

cm10 nightlies with WIND

I installed the 9/20 nightly and I had really poor data speeds and reliablility. I usually have pretty good signal in the areas I frequent with WIND. How has your T999v been behaving with cm10 on WIND?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hoysauce:
I did notice a small dip in my data speed but nothing that really affected overall experience. I guess it depends on the area you're in? I live in an area where there's always full wind coverage so maybe that's why I haven't noticed much of a change. I'm currently on the 9/19 build.

I wonder if there are any better radios that we could flash for wind users? It seems like there are a ton of radios to choose from for t-mobile users. :(

A few days ago I switched to Wind and bought the Galaxy S3 from them, but in a couple of days I was quite surprised to find out that their version includes only 3 languages to chose from! Called to their support, but got the answer that there is nothing they can do about it and they don't know any way to add other language to the list, then they re-directed me to Samsung support where I got exactly the same answer!!!

I've just wanted to know what was the purpose of stripping off all the languages that S3 International version comes with and why only one unofficial Canadian language was added to the list of the installed languages, but of course nobody could or wanted to clarify that question.

Personally, I feel like by including only one additional language they just discriminated all other languages. Besides, paying so much for that toy and not having an ability to send SMS in my native language to my relatives and friends in my country of origin, looks to me like ripping off.

So, does anybody know how to fix this issue?

Thanks

Hey guys couple quick questions (that probably have already been answered if I searched, sorry).

I currently have a Galaxy Nexus, but due to storage restraints I was thinking of hopping on the Galaxy S3 to use on WIND as I can get one BNIB for $550 taxes in and unlocked from a store which seems like a good price considering Mobilicity sells theirs for $600, WIND for $650 (damn that introduction of their tab) and I could probably sell my Nexus for $400 as I have a crap load of cases and such for it.

How is the signal strength between the two? I'd figure they're similar since they're both Samsung made phones, but y'never know.

I could only imagine this phone is a lot faster considering the architecture of the S4 + the 2GB of RAM, but how is the GPU (any lag or stuttering in more graphic heavy games?)? I've read it does fine, but I just wanna get some fresher opinions and thoughts on it. Thanks!

Got S3 a few weeks back, loving it :) New to rooting/flashing, ex Ipod jailbreaker, i rooted my s3 using galaxys3root [galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-t-mobile-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999], after i saw he had the canadian s3 root. recently i got the update from samsung, and it seems as i lost the root, saw other user with similar outcome. Just wanted to confirm any one rooted after the update using the same procedure [canada-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999-fail-proofnoob-proof method].
