I can also confirm that the partitions are the same across all major US carriers. Same for META-INF.

I have an AT&T Jelly Bean TW ROM posted here that I am trying to port.

I modified the build.prop, copied over the APNs, and modified framework-res but 4G service is not working.

Anyone have any insight as to what I may have missed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] $t0Rm:
@op

Thanks for the awesome guide came into some problems but in the long run got everything working.

A mini guide to help anyone else that had the same issues as me.

To fix the continuous FC of "process.com.android.phone has stopped"

look inside the "\system\app\ " folder find Stk.apk and delete it.

To fix no data / service

copy the original boot.img from a stock rom and replace with the boot.img in the rom your trying porting.

Wifi broken / not turning on

go into "\system\lib\hw" copy the original files from stock rom and replace.

go into "\system\lib\modules" copy the original files from stock rom and replace.

lastly if that doesn't work

go into "\system\etc\wifi" copy the original files from stock rom and replace.

Hope this helps anyone.

I successful ported a Rom from Verizon to US Cellular with this guide. Everything seems good so far except I have a notification "preparing sd card...checking for errors". I can however access the external sd card with es file explorer. How do i get rid of it? Will not clear.

Edit: fixed it. Just needed to fix permissions and reboot. Sorry...shod have tried the simple things before posting.

What would happen if i went through the build prop and changed "verizon" to "us cellular"? Mainly want the model number, which i know what to change, and the network to show. Right now it says "network unknown"

Thanks alot for this guide. Been wanting to learn how to port for awhile.

I successfully booted a sprint rom (goodness 8.0.5) on my T-Mobile s3 by following this guide. I have a question though...does anyone know how to get the rom to recognize my phone number and mobile network state? I think this is whats causing me to not be able to get visual voicemail and play store working correctly. Thanks in advance for any help.

I used darthstalker x as the base...and I ported the goodness rom from the sprint gs3

It seems to be working pretty well now actually. I was having trouble with the play store not connecting to the server at first, but now its working after about 10 reboots. Only real issue I see now is the data drops every now and then (usually after a reboot) but then a reboot brings it back

Thanks for the guide hero..... I am wondering do you think I would be able to use this method to port the sprint leak of premium suite 4.1.2 to d2tmo? Or is it going to be way too difficult? If so my question is that I saw it was ported to d2vzw so would I be better off porting that port or porting the original? What worries me is not having a rom of the4.1.2 to use as the base...... Thanks in advanced
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
Sprint didn't get premium suite upgrade yet. We just got updated to 4.1.2

If you come from a working 4g rom it will work until reboot and then it's gone. I have looked everywhere I know to look.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If another s3 ROM comes with a kernel, is that okay to port? Wouldn't I technically be flashing a kernel from a different carrier? (Don't all ROMs come with kernels, just some people edit it or replace it and point that out) noob question, I know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdeloach:
Just move the boot.img from a from a rom for your device to the ROM you wanna port

Ok I feel like a complete noob, but how can i port a verizion paranoid android rom to sprint like you did? i followed the first post's instructions and i keep getting a "failed" when i try to flash in recovery.(used sprint cm10.1, also i just wanted to see if i could do it since this i'm guessing is what you did)

Hero. I hope you still keep tracks with this thread. maybe you or anybody that have done this can help me. I have ported a rom from verizon to my tmobile s3. I have dont every step on your guide. the rom booted up fine but there is one minor bug. it keeps saying non verizon sim. sim not supported. althought I have data and calls works fine.

I also have a tmobile kernel. I used a tmobile rom as based and edit all the build.prop for tmobile but there must be something that its making.that none verizon sim. the rom I ported was PlasmaVIII.

another question. a rom that is already been ported here can I also port that rom to tmobile with your guide?

So ive successfully ported a number of sprint roms to my T-Mobile galaxy s3. I have run into some of the problems you guys have reported and this is how i fixed them. After following the instructions from the op, when i booted my rom the phone number under about phone and some other things would be missing. To get those things working, i just went into settimgs->mobile networks and turned data roaming on. I also disabled the roaming guard for both voice and data and rebooted. Omce the phone finished rebooting, everythimg worked as it should. The phone successfully registered on the network and data worked fine. Hope this helps :thumbup:

First off thanks for this thread. I've used it to port a couple roms to the Cricket S3 since we don't have much development.

I'm new to rom porting and I ported Hellybean to the Cricket S3 using this guide, d2cri CM10.1 4/7 nightly, and d2spr Hellybean (from the Hellybean website). Both are based on 4.2.2. Unfortunately, I cannot get the power menu to show up. When I long press power, the screen dims as it's supposed to, but the power menu doesn't appear. Now if I tap the screen where the buttons are supposed to be, I get normal functionality. It just doesn't show up. Also noticed that when long pressing on the keyboard to get numbers and special characters that doesn't show up either

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
Updated for TW ROMs. Check the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
If I decided to port a verizon ROM to at&t it states I would "replace all instances of Verizon with Sprint"... would I actually use ATT or AT&T ?

Also would Didact's rom control still work or would some of the .jar's I decompiled and replaced files on here be replaced by using it ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDriller:
Just a quick question. When I try to port a ROM everything seems to be working except the keyboard. It doesn't matter what keyboard I try to have installed with the ROM when it boots all it does when the keyboard pops up is FC and then it hot boots and then the keyboard FC's over and over and over. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zmedhaug:
The rom you downloaded, flash the original rom before you port it and see if it does the same thing. You won't have service but open the keyboard. If it does the same thing your download is bad. If it doesn't let me know and I'll brainstorm

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asianflavor:
Forgot to tell you to decompile the framework-res.apk and switch out the ERI.xml. You can decompile the framework-res.apk from one of the Sprint S3 MIUI ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
I need to have winrar for that right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asianflavor:
You need to have the MIUI apktool setup for that. Follow Len's guide at the top about the apktool setup. MIUI Porting guide
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Appreciate it man :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asianflavor:
No problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Just for some clarity. When you initially start porting you delete the framework from the base ROM and replace it with the ones from the port correct. So I'll just be replacing the ERI..xml with the ones I just deleted from the base then right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asianflavor:
Yes but to get to the ERI.xml, you have to decompile the framework-res to place the Sprint ERI.xml then build the framework-res back up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Ok I see. I noticed to decompile it I just open it up. Extracting it doesn't do it. I'm using winrar and it just opened it up. Now to build it back up how do I do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asianflavor:
If you extract the apk, you still need to open up the class.dex file to insert the ERI.xml. Just download the MIUI apktool from that guide and it will make it a lot easier decompile the apk files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Trying to find the invoke-as file in the system/xbin folder but I can't find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
You need to decompile to find that. Can't be done with 7zip or winwar.

What is best looking and better performing screen protector for the nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Clear is better IMO. Matte has a papery texture to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Matte also ruins the beauty of the screen by giving everything this hazy look almost like there's oil on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shockem:
Better looking: clear

Better performing: depends. Matte will give you a smooth touch. Clear would be almost the same as the screen without protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Da Kine:
I prefer the matte
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
Why is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pseudonym:
Matte coz my hand is always sweaty.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdevil_25:
i choose clear because of sweaty hands leave lots of finger prints.

have also tried matte but in the end it feels like perma finger prints that i just cant wipe off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abet_mess:
Imo, it depends on what is your intention of using screen protector. If it's to protect screen, i think you don't need it as the glass itself is hard and anything that will scratch it will just pass through the plastic protector.

Matte has a function of antifinger print but using one will ruin the quality of the display.

I have used both clear and matte but i decided to remove them and stayed in bare screen. I have been using my phone for months without any protector in my pocket and the screen is scratchless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyTurboII:
Well, back on topic, I prefer the matte myself, same as the reasons listed before.

Seems like it is less prone to fingerprints, and when I do get them they wipe off easier. Also, my finger seems to glide across the screen better.

On the downside, it definitely affects the quality of the image on screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lsv-1:
I've used them both and both have pros and cons.

Matte:

- no fingerprints.

- in some cases depending on the quality of the protector you need to increase the brightness of the screen to make it look good.

Clear:

- fingerprint magnet.

- scratches are noticeable.

- the screen looks simply amazing (and this is the reason why I prefer the clear one even if it has to be replaced more often)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
I'll drop a new option. Ghost Armor. The clearest screen protector I've ever seen and it doesn't show fingerprints and can be wiped clean with a shirt. Also very durable.

Also this should be in the accessories thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
No. They have a new "hd" material that is almost invisible. Takes a couple days to mold completely though. Once it does its barely there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Does your finger glide over the screen easily or is there some resistance?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niks4101:
I prefer the clear ones, the matte ones seem to distort the image a little and they are a little weird to touch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Easily. I get it on all my devices. If anything happens to it you can go to any Ghost Armor stores and for $5 they'll replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I went to a GhostArmour booth today and got to feel the screen protector, I'm amazed at how much they improved it in a year. My sister had ghost armour applied on her desire HD and it was pretty rubbery but now it feels a lot better. I might get the carbon fiber applied to the back and the protector on the front, just need to find pictures of how it looks with the carbo fiber on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allelujah:
+1 for matte. Cos it'll give your galnex doff effect n looks very black imho
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leongzhi:
Matte because of no fingerprints
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
Im currently bare, without any protection. Any stories from you guys to make me buy a protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcubed45:
clear looks way nicer imo

i had an xo skin for awhile but couldn't stand the tackiness to it. took it off after a couple months. been loving the smooth bare glass :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonoperez:
I've tried both and in the end I decided that protectors kill our colorful device. Instead of it, I got a 20 € screen insurance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neera:
Most definitely prefer the clear screen protectors. The screen looks sleek and feels great. Fingerprints are a little more visible than with a matte protector, but it's not an issue for me. I always keep a little cleaning cloth handy.

The matte ones give it a hazy, grainy look that destroys the beauty of the screen. It looks pixelated and the feel is a little weird imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmg1001:
I have an old Samsung notebook pc with a matte screen and since it was built in the actual glass it was clear. I wished I'd be able to get that in a phone, the touch feels so darn good.

There is no correct answer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
Solution: buy both and try them both, then decide which one you want.

Sent from my Nexus Prime
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
I have tried both, Matte and Clear.

Matte:

Pros:

Clear black

No fingerprints

Feels great when touching or swiping the finger on the screen

A single cloth wipe clears the dust

Cons:

Affects the display - The display seems oily

Clear

Pros:

Amazing display

Brighter when compared to Matte

Cons:

Fingerprints visible

Needs to be changed more frequently than matte

My choice:

Clear - Because it does what a scrathguard should do. Protects scratches on screen and does not affect the quality of the screen. On the other hand, Matte feels very good and also protects the screen very well, but it ruins the display and I personally cannot compromise on the quality of screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CSX321:
I have BoxWave's anti-glare (matte) protectors on all my devices. Although it does add some graininess to the screen, I really like the way it feels, almost like Teflon. I find it a little--well, unpleasant--trying to use a bare screen or clear protector, because my finger sticks when swiping around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justinhopaolo:
I got your point. Sticky fingers as I type these.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigcignus:
matte is best looking (no fingerprints...) but reduce a little backlight...

clear is defly better perfoming
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
This exactly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nickcct:
Personally prefer clear type with oleophobic. Since GNex got the HD screen, why would we waste it.

Try with spigen oleophobic, lesser fingerprint and clear type.
