ebay search

note ii sim or search for this one 271090307387

$6.47 swap that plug and play component into place and BAM sim card slot.

either cut a hole in your middle cover OR buy a int middle cover.

also someone is working on a mod solution to keep the 4g AND add a sim card slot

we off course still need to unlock to work on US carriers but maybe its not locked to begin with since they would not have thought of someone swapping parts like this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] seltzered:
very cool. do you know if you can do a similar trick with the ebay sim card holders for the Galaxy S3 (i.e. L710) ? I'm really hoping to buy a sprint GS3, put it on ting, and be able to occasionally take it internationally.

I was about to buy a motorola photon, but the lack of updates is scaring me.

UPDATE: found this thread if you're more into the GS3 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002515
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ycats:
maybe it's just me, but amazing that so many people still believe that phones are compatible with other carriers............if you have Tmobile, AT&T then you're GSM network, Verizon & Sprint are CDMA..............it just bugs me when people ask to get their Sprint phone activated on another carrier (only exception is Cricket). I had someone a couple of days ago who bought a Tmobile version of the Galaxy S3, and wanted to know how to jailbreak it to use on another carrier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
normally you would be absolutely right. but in this specific case and possible with the S3 as well your incorrect.

the Note II and possibly the S3 have full GSM capabilities. Sprint just "corrupted" them on purpose (and should be illegally as well)

with the gizmo from ebay we get a normal sim card slot. now we just need a good hacker/coder to unlock the intentional "block" put in place by sprint to prevent it from seeing US GSM signals from companies other than sprint.

once someone manages to do that we will literally have a phone that could in theory be used on "ANY" US provider and probably any world provider.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AirBruce:
Lol!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
based on a search of this and looking at pictures. why would you lose 4g? the lte chip is built on the processor board.

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

the statement below is 100% correct. the hardware in this phone is fully capable of GSM service. the removed software controls are the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
I don't know. Someone posted that the LTE SIM card (a chip on the board) is part of this board. so removing it would remove LTE (disable it)

but if your going SIM your going GSM so can't use sprint LTE anyway. so its not a "huge" deal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scotte3:
Magic Sim?

I contacted Magic Sim and they said their Elite Micro Sim would work with Sprint. It did not show on the site so I emailed them and they said it would.

FWIW

There's a guy out there that says he can put it on straight talk w/o sim. operates on verizon network. 231 something was the name of the outfit. google a bit and I'm sure you will find him. hope I helped
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcc0011:
look on ebay at the people that do boost mobile flashes for the note 2. send them a message asking if they do the sprint note 2 to straight talk. most of them I talked to do this for like $50 if you have a new donor. If anyone needs more info pm me and I'll be glad to help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
It's actually cheaper and way easier to sell your Sprint note 2 and buy one that works on att and straight talk.

i got firmware 4.1.1 on my tmobile S3. is this JB from samsung or from tmobile? and if its from tmobile, will there be a version directly from samsung?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mattedwards2686:
The firmware is from t-mobile. I don't believe there will be a version directly from samsung, because each carrier customizes their phones. The only way to get a version directly from Samsung would be to purchase an unlocked S3; which has different hardware specs, so they're not compatible.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xenin:
thanks for the info
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShermCraig:

How is battery life on tweaked? Is it as good as jedi?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Battery life is much more dependent on the kernel used as opposed to the ROM when it comes to modified stock roms. I would assume using the same kernel would lead to similar battery life - that's been my experience anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
Which kernel do you recommend /use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I don't necessarily recommend any kernel as it all depends on what you are after out of your phone, but lately I've had plain ole UVBMD1 unaltered stock kernel actually. No complaints given how I use it/what I need.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aeroevan:
Warning, warning, blah, blah, usual I'm not responsible if this kills your cat, etc.

I've been playing with the mr1-staging branch and finally have a build that is worth sharing.

Downloads:

MOD EDIT: links removed.

Definitely need to wipe data/factory reset before flashing and no guarantees that Titanium Backup will restore stuff (I haven't tested it).

Currently broken:

Camera should work now :)

Probably some other stuff.

WARNING.. this may format your SD card. FYI
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billypoke:
it did something weird on my internal sd with the folders. I now have /sdcard0/ with the following directories:

0 - containing all the contents of the internal sd

Android

legacy

lightflow

Notifications

obb

romtoolbox

TunnyBrowser

could i move the contents of the /0 directory to /sdcard0/ without issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
anyway to nand? i guess we are screwed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kevman8396:
Should be able to Odin back to a stock rooted ROM and then just restore one of your nandroid backup in recovery, assuming you backed up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NeoMagus:
Thats normal for 4.2 its because of the multi-user it does that if you add a user youd get /1 and so on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billypoke:
Ahhh, I see now. I have since returned to my previous rom, so can I move it, or should I leave it for when I come back? Does it matter?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
new build is working great, nfc is working again, only issue i'm having is the person on the other end of a call sounds really low, even w/ the in call volume boost enabled and the volume maxed out, everything else i've used it for thus far has worked flawlessly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
Thanks for the Rom. Glad someone is working on 4.2 for the Vzw GS3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k1ska:
I really really want to try this ROM out but the only thing that's keeping me from it is the camera. I really hope they get it working shortly, as it's the single thing keeping me from it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aeroevan:
It looks like the next build will have working camera :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
If that's true, then you will also be seeing a lot of me starting with the next build. :epic:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cynikalJ:
Awesome I just hope the low recording volume doesn't raise its ugly head
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k1ska:
If that's true then you, sir, shall get plenty of women and beer! Or just beer. I dunno.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpaine88:
I can confirm that I also have low in-call volume.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobby janow:
If you have BB Stats, will you please check for me if you have location services alarming all over the place. I'm up to 900 and it's keeping the phone awake like crazy. Eating my battery alive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
That would be awesome, the low recording volume thing drives me nuts with CM10. I'm actually considering going to a modified TW ROM just so I don't have to deal with it at this point lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EGill42:
aeroevan,

Thanks for all the hard work bringing us this rom.

Is there any chance CM will bring back the slide to adjust brightness feature? It really reduced the amount of clicks needed to change the brightness. When in the recent apps I noticed it can change to landscape view. To me, this seems inconsistent with the home-screens since they are always in portrait. Is there a way to keep it in portrait at all times? Just trying to learn my way around CM10.1. At the end of the day these issues are not a big deal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Since you have this build pretty ready to run, are you working on getting setup with CM for official builds?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
For those wondering about the camera.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/s...genMod/android_packages_apps_LegacyCamera,n,z

I don't know if this applies to everyone, but I think it does because only nexus devices have working camera, and this might fix it for everyone! WHICH WOULD BE AWESOME!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] termleech:
Question for anyone running this rom, does it have the screen flicker issues that CM10 had for a while? I'm probably gonna give this a whirl once he drops the builds with camera support (which based on twitter I'm guessing is coming sometime today) but was curious about the screen flicker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EGill42:
So I am slightly confused about the SD card as well. Based on the amount of memory the internal and external card are using, it is clear that my internal is just the OS, and all my media is on the external. On the SD card I see the folder labled 0, but there is nothing in them. So clearly even though all the media is really on the external card, it shows up as though it is on the internal.

How do I undue this changing of directory, or that is a bad idea, where should I be adding music to my music folder on the sd card? The music folder in the 0 folder seems like the right place, but since it doesn't show any of the content I can't figure it out.

Back to studying for finals...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpaine88:
Is anyone getting low signal strength? I am getting like -110 dmB where I usually get under 100 in my house like 93-95.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aeroevan:
Signal strength is still a little off, and that may be causing some issues :/

But a new build is up with a working camera.

So for those of you coming to this 4.2.1 based build for the first time, I would recommend full wipe (including system), flash the latest ota (k3 rom) like http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390214368362234071 and boot up to make sure everything is activated and nfc is on. Now back to recovery, factory reset and flash cm10.1 and latest 20121212 gapps and you should be good to go :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
Does this build have the low microphone recording bug? The one that CM10 has.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bassdj427:
Does the front facing camera work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpaine88:
For the NFC thing, as long as we can check it off in the settings, we are good right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
I expect at least 1000 more users of this rom within the next day hahah.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aeroevan:
No clue (haven't actually recorded a video yet).

Yes.

Yeah, if it turns on it should work fine (always has for me if it actually turned on).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] infinit22:
Is this still creating folder 0 on the sd card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightxFall:
The camera is fixed now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chuckleb0ne:
Yes! Gonna flash asap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aeroevan:
I don't think there are any custom kernels that work with 4.2 yet, but I'm sure they'll start once things settle down a bit ;)

I would recommend a recent twrp or cwm.

I used the latest cwm that is in the cm 10.1 source tree and it's posted here: http://goo.im/devs/aeroevan/cwm/recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.2-d2vzw.img but any recovery that has been patched for 4.2 should work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueCross:
Does the tiny bluetooth problem exist on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aooga:
Is the really low call volume bug still present in the latest build? I sorta need a phone for a phone :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JCSIII:
This is amazing!!! Great Job
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
Same here but that was thanks to the gapps we flashed, it states there is no photosphere for the camera.... You can still flash the 4.2 camera with photosphere but be warned the issue where you have to tap to focus before taking a pic
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chuckleb0ne:
I can deal with it for now! Will just wait for the next update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
FYI, Titanium Backup seems to work fine restoring user apps and data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBurgh:
What recovery is recommended to use to flash this build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tv31284:
I actually dirty flashed over cm10 and everything seems to be working fine so far. NFC isn't enabled but I can deal with that. Thanks for the builds!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bose301s:
Would anyone call this Daily Driver stable yet? CM10.1 just reached official CM nightly status for the Galaxy Nexus and I would love to keep using CM10.1 on the GS3 when I get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chuckleb0ne:
Yes, definitely daily driver
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
my phone number changed in the status menu after reboot. that sucks . also there seems to be tiles missing from the settings screen of the notifications menu. other than that it kicks butt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bose301s:
No signal issues? Camera is now working I see. The 2 biggest reasons I am leaving the Nexus are Signal strength, the thing just loves to lose data connections, and battery life, good luck getting through a day on it. If the GS3, especially on these ROMs, is better for those then I will be super happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aooga:
The display is off, but I can still make calls so I guess its OK. Yeah I left the Nexus for battery...it really sucked. I can EASILY get through a day with this rom.

BTW, the low call volume bug seems to be fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aeroevan:
If you get this and you're phone actually isn't activated, try wiping and going back to a k3 stock ROM and letting it activate there before flashing cm 10.1. I had to do that once for some reason
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah my phone number is missing also so must not be fully activated. Shucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billypoke:
You can change the tiles in the settings>system>quick settings panel>tiles and layout

Sent from my miui-ified GS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
But my calls and texts and data all work fine.

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Sorry to post bomb but my phone number and all has shown up. Not sure what exactly I did to accomplish this. I did all this:

Clicked NV/RUIM

Clicked LTE/CDMA/evdo

Turned off wifi

Then rebooted. Everything looks fine now and no more activation screen after reboots.

Hope this helps figure out the issue or helps somebody else get past this bug.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bose301s:
You mean your display isn't working or what? Just want to make sure it's ok before making the jump. It works great on the Nexus, but the Nexus was basically designed for AOSP, the GS3 not so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jpi.islas:
i agree, been using it since the first build without any major problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
clean flash a JB TW rom, make sure NFC is enabled and then clean flash back to CM10.1 and then restore ur stuff w/ TiBu....NFC will be working fine now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bose301s:
Awesome to hear!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybfmv96:
I would say you can delete it if nothing important is on it. It should bring the directories back once you reinstall the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shawnten:
Running good. Phone works sms MMS. The wired thing is it keeps saying it can't activate but everything works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
This is the only thing that concerns me. I'm tempted to flash it but would it require using Odin to get back to a backup?

I want to flash this just to see how it is :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billypoke:
It has all of the things that would be on the internal storage card in a pre 4.2 rom, and I haven't had anything weird happen yet, so I'll just leave it

I didn't have to odin, just rebooted into recovery and restored from external sd (cwm)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] teggy_D:
Yeah I just moved mine back to sdcard0 and all was good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Menardo:
Yep happened to me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] teggy_D:
as far as what I and what others seem to have experienced it just moves all contents from the internal sd to a folder labeled as 0, check in there first to be sure cause i thought all my stuff was gone as well until i looked in that folder
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sm_x:
besides the internal sd card issue (which is not a bug but a feature) , any other problems?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
also did this with 0 problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ogrekane313:
Well this is a bug I open up maps and it tells me this application won't work without a data connection I have full 4g
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shawnten:
If you don't need camera or ext. SD you can daily drive this. Been running all night. Had activation problem but somehow it fixed itself. Very good first public build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Marcismo55:
Anyone getting a fc when going into Chrome settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jo_blow421:
Well i wish i could easily go back to my previous ROM but unfortunately even in cwm i can't use extsd. There is no way to restore from my backup. I think I'm going to try flashing a different rom and see if i can restore from backup there.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

O ya even internal SD can't be found so as of right now in really screwed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
Did you check if the internal sd files are in a folder called 0? This happens because of the profile support in 4.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
TWRP Support

Has anyone flashed this using TWRP yet? I'm kinda spoiled, and don't have anything backed up with CWM anymore

:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shawnten:
yes and it worked perfectly. and i can restore from ext. sd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dscblu:
I'm loving this ROM but i cant wait for a pa build of 4.2 I'm missing that hybrid ui already :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shadrach47:
Anyone lose mms after rebooting? It reminds me of the problem we had with CM10 back in the beginning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shawnten:
no not yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Marcismo55:
The only minor issue I see when rebooting is the activating screen which isn't a big deal at all...once the storage/camera issues are worked out this will be a proper rom.

Regardless of those issues things are looking great for an unofficial release of 4.2. Thanks Evan!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jpi.islas:
looks like they have camera working better in latest code... next build should be better :)

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

ah, ignore me... that was the i9300, sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
there is no need to odin back. all you need to do is copy the clockwork folder from the 0 folder to the root of the sd card. it will merge with the folder there. and then you can restore from CWM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kimsj756:
So where do you find the change log?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aeroevan:
That was posted on g+. I should have a new build up that may fix external sd card stuff...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AegonTheDragon:
Can't you just use ez recovery to reinstall CWM?

Edit: when you said it may format your SD do you mean the internal or an external?
