[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dylan07:
I have an AT&T Samsung S3 Mini Sm-G730A and would like to try/help making CyanogenMod 10.2 for this.

I found this generic guide that may be helpful:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

Official source code can be downloaded from here, just click 'mobile phones' > then scroll down to your model number SM-G730_NA (I believe the NA stands for National version): http://opensource.samsung.com/

Rooting this device is possible with instructions from here: www.xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2469413

Note to moderators: If this is allowed to be in the development section, i'd like to request it to be moved. Thanks
