This is my second samsung phone and the set up is so much different. In my epic touch 4G it was like the kernel and the recovery were always together but on the s3 it is separate like my HTC was. Why was the epic so much different. I thought it was just a samsung thing. This s3 is way easier to go back and forth between roms. The touch 4G was a pain having to Odin back to older version of kernel/recoveries to go to ics ad now the s3 the recovery stays and does not change with kernel? Any insight at all would be appreciated

Different phones, different processes that's about all there is to answer your recovery question. I'm coming from a Droid Incredible so I have no idea what you're talking about btw. If you flash a rom on the GSIII, there is a kernel that flashes along with it because it's included in the rom zip. The alternative is if you want to flash a kernel that you would like to try at a later date, boot into Recovery and flash that kernel file from its respective thread.

On the same for some reason the recovery was attached to the kernel for some reason

I found this in another forum and thought I would share it with you guys. I can confirm that this works on our device. I am running F4K.
This mod is a flashable zip which was created by biohazrd51 and I. It changes the 'H' icon in the status bar to the '4G' one. See below for all devices.
Also, you will lose this mod every time you update the rom. I will take no responsibility if you magically transform your phone into a new device.
That said, all you need to do is:
1. Download the attached update-signed.zip to the root of your sd card.
2. Reboot into recovery, and make a nandroid backup, incase anything goes wrong. (It shouldn't)
3. Then, select install from sd card, and click on the update-signed.zip.
4. Reboot and enjoy.
Any questions,feel free to ask.
*Edit* blk_jack has put together a flashable zip that'll modify the H icon to 4G on any ROM (hdpi only). This should also work in JB, though we haven't tested it. This doesn't actually replace the SystemUI.apk, it just replaces the icons inside it and re-zip/zipaligns it.
Download and flash through recovery:

Where is this update.signed file you speak of? The link in the OP says nothing like that when downloaded or added to sd card. D/l'ed it anyways and it kinda fk'd my phone. Went into TWRP and installed it. Fixed permissions and wiped cache/dalvik. Now I have no dropdown menu that the SGS4G normally has and none of my themes are working. Just a generic black background throughout. I don't think this works on our device. JS. I'll nandroid back and retry it. BTW, I'm running Ravers OMFGCM9 with a padded KJ6 modem with hefe's kernel.
I have had that happen once not sure what rom I was on I just did fresh install to fix it.

[MOD][UNIVERSAL][1/22/13] H to 4G or LTE icons - Updated!!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
For the people saying it doesn't work... were you possibly using the LB6 modem that doesn't actually display H? If so... your phone probably needs to display H for the H to be replaced with 4G or LTE. It wouldn't be the mod failing to work... but the modem passing incorrect information to the status bar-display.
Kj6 modem,reverted back to RemICS, until slim gets wf hotspot fixed,will test update then.

would this work on miui?
Since the JB update I don't seem to ever receive my mms messages on the stock app. Is there anything to be done about this without rooting? Will switching to a different messaging app fix it? Please and thanks
Edit.. A battery pull seems to have fixed it.. Sorry.

Weird that's happening in stock. I'm not sure if the links are still working (I'm sure you can find them in here somewhere) but have you considered returning to stock using odin (no root, no custom recovery) and rerooting to see if that'll fix it?

yes i know it's strange, it doesn't happen on jb roms since those are the only ones i've tested on the phone. i wanted to get that crt enabled 2.3.6 but those links aren't working anymore, which is why i had to migrate to jb, i still want to get back to GB but the links aren't working
if anyone can help me grab the stock crt enabled 2.3.6 gb rom i would be extremely grateful
