[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChadHughes:
---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------

The purpose of this thread is to keep people updated on the status of various ROM's for the VZW SGSIII, because although the search button is our friend, sifting through pages of progress is cumbersome for a few of us. This is not a babysitting thread, though - I'm not posting hundreds of links to different pages and answering ROM tech support questions ( at least not all of the time :D ). If you post pending issues with the ROM, we can get them here and also post work arounds and fixes in a centralized area so as to not clutter the ROM sub forum. This thread will have THREE major parts.

[ROM][HYBRID][Jellybean] PARANOIDANDROID v1.9.1a

NOT FOR THE FEINT OF HEART - K-EXEC USAGE is REQUIRED - IF YOU DO NOT BACK UP YOUR EFS/IMEI, and you LOSE IT, AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO WAY TO GET IT BACK WITHOUT BRINGING YOUR STOCK BRICK BACK TO VERIZON. BACK IT UP! FOR THIS, I WILL POST A LINK.

HOW TO BACK UP YOUR EFS/IMEI

AOSP Based

Jelly Bean Google Applications Flashable Zip Link Provided

Google Now Fully Fuctional, with Cards

Hybrid Tablet/Phone rom with Properly sized NavBar

AOSP Kernel

Can be flashed with K-Exec ONLY

Camera only goes up to 3mp, performance is shoddy, there is a fix but at the moment it is not up to par with the Touchwiz - Naturally, it shouldn't be.

Android 4.1.1

Blazing fast,great stock JB experience, 4G works and 3G is great but I cannot stress enough, YOUR MODEL MAY VARY

Can be Used as a Daily Driver : %50/60: this is purely enthusiast at the moment: user choice.

CM9/10 seems to be the cause of the 0 imei error! Not kexec. This is cm10 based.

The best pure stock ROM you're going to find (purely subjective, obviously) . Everything is there, and everything works as it's supposed to.

Compatible and functional with invisibleK v2 Kernel, and it adds to this ROM's already insane speed.

Can be flashed with CWM Touch or Regular CWM or TWRP

This is the ROM everyone else is using as a base, props to NOSYMPATHY for properly Deodexing the stock mms app!

I will be adding more ROM's as they come and as I have more time to. At night when my wife and daughter are passed out, I test these ROM's extensively. I also decompile and check everything out, just to see what might make one tick. You can post any questions you have here, and this way the devs have a centralized thread to look at where major concerns can be posted and fixes/updates/patches can be relayed just incase you missed a reply/skipped a page using the xda mobile app/etc.
