Hey I just wanted to know peoples opinions on what is the best CM10 Rom so far. Especially considering the things that dont work like MMS or tethering or Netflix (I dont think any work with it though)
I like it. It's clean and boost free.

Just loaded everything looks good except camera or gallery doesn't work. Am I missing something?

Which CM10 rom are you running? Invis? The official CM?

Official CM10 nightly
mms aint working yet but should in next official nightly. which should be in a few hours... other than that, official definitely had the most stable release!
NFC also isn't working but hopefully it gets fixed soon including MMS.
You'll probably just want to roll with the officials. Most everything you want has already been or is soon to be merged.
Anyone get WiFi tether to work? It worked for me on CM9
Just a question. Does CM10 have the long press volume feature to skip tracks while the phone is asleep? Love this about synergy

i have used about a day and here are my thought
unlocked bootloader
i have cleaned cache format factory reset before install
after boot i have loaded my app with data not bloatware with toolbox pro
using go launcher no live wall paper and juice defender
rest of app are... well just application and few games.
and here is real pro and cons
Pro
Fast, it does the job, google and now other jb features are works perfectly
unlock bootloader can be easily done thanks you adam.
boot time is faster than what i used to use AOKP milestone 6.1
Con
UNSTABLE, within half a day rebooted like 3~4 times while i was doing something
who know how many times it rebooted while i wasnt looking.. it seems more because from battery status
there are few blank spots. i have no idea what is wrong kernel perhaps?
i am not sure i thought CM is made from AOSP so i thought it should be pretty stable but i guess not.
also i have car blue tooth device with handset free (GROM) it wont connect and my logitech one works perfectly
DATA also not stable it think for battery it tries to turn it off (i think it's from juice defender) but takes about 10~15 seconds before i get the data
if you dont have problem with rebooting at random times, some glitches and no softkey (it's nightly so i cant really say it's bad rom)
this is the ROM.. it's faster than any rom i have tried.. what do you guys think??
maybe i should have tried longer but for me it was too unstable.
does cm10 have any critical bugs??
So, I was curious about a couple things.
First, how do nightlies work? Do you have to go and download a new file every single night and flash it? Or is there something working with the ROM that will flash a new version for you as it comes?
Second, I was curious as to when you guys think that CM10 for the SGSIII will be stable to the point where all major things, data, keys, gallery, camera, MMS, bluetooth, etc, are working reliably? I'm incredibly pleased with the stock experience, but there's always something to be gained from custom ROM's and I'm looking forward to being able to use CM10 I just don't want to miss a big part of my phone.
Not meaning to hijack the thread or anything! I'll throw in my two cents too by saying that I'd recommend the official CM10 based on the fact that MMS seemingly works currently and I'm unsure of how it's doing on the unofficial ROM.

Again, its fully stable. In your "second" part, literally every single thing you listed is fully working and stable. Except soft keys which were actually disabled because they have the same purpose as hard keys and just take up valuable real estate. Yes, nightlies are every night but you can dirty flash if you're lazy. You only really need to flash once a major fix or update has been merged. Just follow the changelogs.
And for you, based on what you reported as not-working, I'd also say you got a bad flash or something. Mine runs almost identical to what stock JB ran on my GNexus. Only better with mods

I wanted to thank the developers of MR3 in this thread. Liquid, Jester, etc.
I'm a long time lurker of this forum since I got my Thunderbolt. I'm VERY VERY appreciative of the developers for creating a very functional ICS rom for the Thunderbolt. Shame on HTC and Verizon for sandbagging so long with what should be a very simple upgrade for them. I was running Thundershed for awhile but grew tired of the Gingerbread look and feel of Android. My friends all mostly have newer phones with ICS, and I couldn't believe that it was supposed to be out in August and it's now mid-October and it's still not out.
To my surprise, I log on to here and see that an ICS ROM had been released.
My only issues with this ROM are random restarts and the white screen error in Facebook/Gmail/etc. I don't really use the video camera much in general; could you use an aftermarket app, or is it broken period?
Otherwise, I absolutely LOVE this and will never go back to Verizon's bloated software. Even when an OTA is released with ICS I won't go back. My phone is running much faster and much better than with Sense and Gingerbread. With data off I had a 10% decrease in battery in 7 hours; with data on and normal use I'll get maybe 5 hours out of a charge on this ROM. About normal for this phone and it's absolutely terrible battery life with the stock battery.
I have it overclocked to 1.5ghz running interactiveX as my governor. It runs beautifully, other than those two minor issues I pointed out above. I haven't experienced any data drops or anything out of the sort like that.

I second this thread.
A major thanks goes out to all of you who develop, in any way, for the Thunderbolt community. This even includes testers.
To answer your questions...
The video and front camera are broken even with an aftermarket app and will remain broken, most likely, until Verizon releases the OTA. From the OTA, our awesome developers will then be able to fix camera issues and many other issues that will make their ROM's 100% stable.
Also, if you get random reboots, you may want to flash to a different radio.
If you are currently running the OTA radios from the 2.11.605.19 software and still get these reboots, try flashing the combo radio and hopefully the reboots will vanish or, at least, happen less often.
If you go to your settings, about phone, software information, more, and look at the baseband version...
If the numbers you see are:
1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.01.79.0331w_1
Then you are on the OTA 2.11.605.19 radios, which is my recommendation for the radios to use with this ROM. If these are the radio numbers you see, try the combo radio. If the numbers you see under your phones baseband version is not:
1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.01.79.0331w_1
Then it may be:
1.48.00.0930w_3, 0.01.78.0916w_3
If it is:
1.48.00.0930w_3, 0.01.78.0916w_3
Try flashing the 2.11.605.19 OTA radios found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605557
If you have the 2.11.605.19 radios, though, try flashing the combo radio found here:

Definitely want to ditto this thread. Thanks for continuing to support the Thunderbolt. I was on the verge of retiring the Thunderbolt. ICS has brought new the Tbolt new life though!
thanks for the links. I'm going to try upgrading tonight and see if that helps. I notice you flash the radio in hboot. If I do a nandroid backup, does it also backup the radio (so I can restore it)? Or if I **** up, will it be permanently bricked?
Ditto to all that has been said. Thank You to all who made this happen, including HTC and Verizon. Their inaction drove me to decide to root and find alternatives. I've been incredibly pleased with MR3.
Thanks all!

If you backup that ROM after flashing the radio, it will back up the ROM. Hboot is a whole different thing than the recovery. That radio is downloaded to the phone and will automatically run on any ROM after its downloaded, even if you start from scratch. But flashing any of those two radios will not brick you on any ROM. Worst case being you won't have signal or data until you flash different radios again.
Say if you upgraded to the newer radios, and then you flash a ROM based on an older software version, you won't brick. In fact, you may not ever experience any issues. Maybe just signal changes or random signal drops.
But no, it won't brick you. It's almost impossible to brick a Thunderbolt.
I recommend after flashing the new radios, immediately go and either change the name from PG05IMG to something custom, move into a different folder that's off of the root of the SD card, or just delete it once flashed.
This is for in a such case where you need to get back into recovery from hboot, it won't prompt you to install the radio again. Because if you had to get into recovery from hboot, it wouldn't allow you to since it runs a check for the PG05IMG files first... and with that being said... I was always told to never flash the same radio twice without changing to a new one first.

i dont' see why these ROMs get so much acclaim... when i tried LiquidSmooth it wouldn't stay connected to the Internet. tried to toggle wifi and 3G/4G. nothing works and i have to reboot the phone every time i want to use the Internet.
Liquid MR3: the setup crashed and now the ROM won't even come all the way up...
unless my phone's broken or something (going to Verizon tomorrow to reflash and check it), i say they're both absolute garbage. i've had much better luck with ROMs on other phones.

well i reflashed Liquid this morning and it didn't crash this time, connected fine via wifi and setup completed properly.
all of my radio issues were on the old version (not sure if there's a difference in radios or whatnot), but if it acts up again i will try your recommendations. thanks a lot.

ah i see what happened now.
the first time i flashed it, i cleared /data after the flash before i brought the OS up, but you've included the launcher as a user app and not a system app. was this intentional? a user could easily screw up by uninstalling the launcher and have no way to interact with the OS. shouldn't there be a default launcher embedded in the system programs?
i'm an Android dev, but my understanding of system development is limited, but if i'm not mistaken, any Android ROM should come with a default launcher that is not uninstallable and has no icon as a backup launcher just in case.
He did install it that way so if the user wants to install their own launcher and remove the default. Its simple to make the new one a system app. All that has to be done is move the apk to /system and it is uninstallable.

I've been rooting phones since G1 and I try and hang on to them as long as possible by flashing more up to date roms, thanks to the resources here at XDA. I really like CM9+. I like the recent v9 kernels etc.. I kept getting data dropped until recently it pretty much went out completely (except for wifi). My phone is insured so I sent it back (which they won't charge you for rooting btw, the store guys even told me theyve sent back multiple bricked phones and never got charged any fee, just dont tell customer service.) I got my replacement with the antiquated rom and to the detriment of exam week, unlocked bootloader, wire trick, and flashed roms. The only ones that will work are Miki sense based and Virtuous Infinity (of the ones I tried, all the others were CM or CM based). I checked my APN settings as before and couldn't make anything work. I read about radios and it seems I have the most up to date. The big difference in the roms that work and the ones that do not is that CM is lacking a MMS Protocol input in the APN settings. Thats all I could figure out. I am gonna say that is the answer until someone verifies otherwise. If any developer knows how to add that option in the APN settings to test and see if this will fix our devices ability to operate via data on CM you'd be a personal hero to me. (Though several of you already are.) I went so far as to use APNsBU on an Virtuous Infinity, then reload a CM mode and applied APN back up and it sort of soft bricked the phone. So I reverted back to Virtuous Infinity and tweeked the heck out of it with V6 supercharger and pimp my rom, erased some of the bloatware and its running pretty strong, but would love the ability to run CM9 with the v9 kernel or CM10, with data. Any help in this area would not only benefit me but a bunch of others having the same issues. Thanks!

It seems that tmobile has recently done some tweeking to their network, at least that is what the cs people said. Make sure your sim card is recent. But I also think this is why these roms use to have some data and now hardly get any ever at all except wifi.
my radio is
11.59.3594.00P_11.16.3594.20_2
I am S-Off juniperbear
Please help if I am missing something. I am s-off wire trick. I believe I have the most recent radio. 11.59.3504.00P_11.16.3504.20_2.
I can flash the 3.0.53v8 or v9 kernels over this rom and most everything works but wifi so I am sticking with the 3.0.16virt kernel that is available with this rom. But I cannot flash any other of the CM9 or CM10 roms and get data. I have flashed them multiple times, tooled around with the vpn's got a new sim card, got a new phone (warranty), spent too much time with customer service at TMobile. Still, no dice. I am pretty happy with this ROM aside from not having DSP Manager or the ability to add it. Is it because there are still some elements of sense there like the camera? I thought it was a APN input issue but I have dialed in the same APN's as Inquisition for any other CM9 or 10 roms and nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

I know this is no help to your situation, but I've run all the available ICS and JB roms that are for the MT4GS and I have mobile data and wifi on all of them. There have been some issues where data drops occasionally, but it will reconnect in a matter of seconds. With the later kernels like r8 and r9 I had no dropouts.
I believe that Sense-based ROMS require a kernel that is built for Sense, so using a CM-based kernel (like r8 or r9) would definitely cause problems. Likewise, using a Sense-based kernel on a CM ROM would be unwise.
If you like Sense based ROMs, have you tried either the Bliss ROM from sun_dream (the XE 3.32 version, not the 3.33) or the MikXE ROM? Of the ICS Sense ROMs, I found them to be the most stable and battery-friendly right out of the box. For a CM/AOKP, the AOKP JB Milestone 1 is very stable and functional, and gets you Jelly Bean... even Google Now works well on it. CM9.1r9 is a great, very stable release, as well.
Just make sure you're doing a very thorough wipe before flashing any new ROM. Even go to Mounts and format the /system, /data, and /cache manually wouldn't hurt.
Thanks

So, I did the full wipe and flashed the newest cm nightly on my phone. No data. Did it again, full reformat et all. No data.Flashed the v9 kernel on top with no wipe. DATA! Thanks. I must have to flash things a few times for them to take. This wasn't a problem with the roms that had some "sense" to them. Weird. I've done the reformating before when I was s-on and never noticed any effect. Now I'm gonna try the CM10 you recommended. I like this phone a lot. The market is based around people buying new phones once a year at least. It's crazy. It's not fair that you can purchase a phone that 6 months latter has a totally obsolete Rom. I am so glad you responded. This makes my life a lot easier. Thanks!

It almost sounds like you're S-ON or still locked. Could you be S-OFF but Locked? You could always fastboot flash the kernel after you flash the ROM just to be sure, but if doing what you just did got the data working for you, then I wouldn't mess with it. If you do want the Jelly Bean without too many issues, I would go with the AOKP JB Milestone 1. The Paranoid Android JB ROM is also very nice, but it does require a little bit more tinkering.
I'm s-off jb from doing the wire trick. I have flashed that cm10 rom with v9 kernel. Have any issues with mms? Got any apn tips?

When you say cm10 rom, do you mean the AOKP JB Milestone 1? When I was running it I didn't have any issues with MMS, but I use Handcent SMS as my messaging client, not the built-in client. I also use T-Mobile and the standard T-Mobile APNs worked fine. I do see that some people are having issues with the r9 kernel, maybe if you flash the r7b kernel (standard, not experimental) it will be more stable. That seems to be the kernel some people find is the best combo of performance and stability.
Yes

Sorry I should have specified. I am in the middle of My CCNA2 and Comptia+ hardware exams this week and I was writing from my phone. AOKP Milestone 1, yes. I think it is the best CM10 I have flashed for MT4gs yet. Just a bit of a battery drainer and I've got an Anker. I tried hand scent this morning. Tweeked the APN's and now know way too much about the ins and outs of this phone not to just learn to become a developer
I got the rom to send MMS but not receive without it being marked as a download. So, coupled with that and the battery drain, I decided to go straight for the r9 kernel and it's rom. Supercharged and ultimate jar patched it. Pimp my rom'd it. And it runs very well, sends and receives mms fine. My issues seem to stem from a combination of problems. Yes doing a complete wipe and manual formats and flashing the specific rom and kernel helped ingrain the rom I believe. But the main culprit is those darn APN's. I finally found alternate APN's and after going through them all in every combination, turning on and off my wifi to check the mobile data latency in terms of how long it took to come on, I have discovered that a T-Mobile Data APN named wap.voicestream.com with the mmsc set to the /mms/wapenc, the MCC:310, MNC:260, and APN protocol of IPv4, with everything else not set of unspecified, allows my phone to come and go between wifi and mobile data with no latency, just like the sense based roms did. So far no drops, but have been bunkered down studying and doing last minute work. When I leave the house in a minute I am gonna be driving around for about an hour to and from where I am going playing spotify, so that should be some kind of test. I also tried internet2.voicestream.com but it was not as consistent of a mobile data signal. They are trying their best to control all bandwidth and software so we can spend a fortune upgrading our services and buying 3 phones a year just to have a proper interface. Most phones are going to only one LTE radio soon as opposed to one that will do data and one that will do voice, effectively making the devices less expensive for them to manufacture, but not for us to buy! Hopefully there will be enough of a niche market to have qwerty hard keyboard devices that are decent released periodically.
Has gone from a well intentioned but flawed technology to a stable streaming around this corner of my city. No drops. And spotify kind of sucks in comparison to other streaming services in terms of quality and performance. I don't wanna get too excited though, ill have to wait a month until I begin to have confidence again that ill have consistent data.

What city? Are you on a T-Mobile account? I'm in Atlanta and T-Mobile data is pretty good here, and I use the standard APNs (epc.tmobile.com). I also used my phone while in China, bought a China Unicom SIM and had excellent data using their system as they use the 2100MHz frequency for HSPA+.
Dallas, TX. Its solid around here but streaming high quality in a 40 mile radius could still be spoty with the meh quality of spotify, probably a load on their servers at rush hour, coupled with the fact that I've been so use to data drops. I'm telling you, the apn fixed my problem. It seems to be a known issue on these threads. Massive data drops. There needs to be a thread compiling alternate apns for people that have that issue with cm 9 and up. Double flash, full wipes, apn config. I'm on the cm 10 unofficial now with its standard kernel. Seems solid. Better battery life for my phone. Every time I flash a kernel I get intermittent data until I change to that apn above. Like zero to occasional. But now my data is tough as nails.

no wifi!
hey guys im s-on unlocked n currently running [ROM] [01-DEC-2012][r9] CM 9.1 + bat drain fix + usb trans speed fix + other tweaks right now and not getting any wifi. i am coming from the only rom that would give me wifi (virtuous inquisition) but that rom got too heavy too fast n was done on my phone. so i switched between a few other ics roms and none of them r giving me wifi.
i dont want to go back to virtuous inquisition but i need wifi. my setting just wont slide over. any help would be appreciated. THANKS!
Have you tried "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ? Using one of the boot.img files from the CM9.1 ROM you're running? It's a necessity when changing ROMs with S-On.
The big issue with no wifi as I've experienced s-on or s-off is that the rom is not sticking. If you are s-on do not try to switch out different kernels, just flash the whole rom. Also, id try the v8 version of that rom because it seems more stable. Go into your recovery, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe delvic cache, go into mount/format and format cache, data, and system, flash rom zip, flash gapps, fastboot boot.img, then let the phone reboot and don't touch it for at least ten minutes, reboot into recovery, wipe cache, data, and delvik cache again, flash rom, fastboot boot.img, and wait again another ten minutes or so while itg reboots. Don't touch it even if the droid comes up and asks you for what language. It is still loading. This is the usual issue regarding roms not sticking. Multiple flash of the same rom over itself and not touching for ten minutes or so after flashing. If you don't know how to fastboot boot.img get hasoon 2000's mt4g all in one program. It'll instruct you to remove the boot.img from the rom and place it into one of the folders in the program and will fastboot the boot.img for you. And btw, the wire trick is real easy. I didn't do it for a year but when I did I was suprised at how easy it was. Makes flashing roms less of a headache.

When flashing a ROM with S-On it isn't actually the ROM not sticking (although that may happen in certain circumstances) but it is that With S-On (security on) the kernel doesn't get installed at all thru CWM. You HAVE to flash that independantly & seperately & LAST And ALWAYS this way thru ADB with S-On. There IS no other way. (Save perhaps pushing that to the right partition thru terminal but that is another discussion altogether).
Yeah, what he said. And if your not savy with adb get hasoon 2000s all in one and it'll do it for you.

I live and work in an area that has poor signal for Verizon. I almost immediately flashed to CM 10 after I got the Verizon Galaxy S3 because I was running CM 10 on my previous Sprint Galaxy S3 without issue. I have been updating the radio and RPM with each leak (currently running K3) and things got a little better but I constantly dropped calls. I had to flash back to stock because I flashed to CM 10.1 and my radio got messed up. I ran the newest stock rom for the last week and noticed a huge difference. I still had low signal but my data dropped less frequently and I could actually make phone calls in areas I couldn't before.
I rooted, and flashed to CM 10.1 and noticed right away the signal is not where it should be. I can't make phone calls inside of buildings with low signal at all, where with stock I could without issue. I love CyanogenMod but I don't think I can deal with the poor signal.
Any ideas on what could be causing this problem and maybe a possible resolution?

Depends on where ya live, your mileage may vary. I get within 1-2 -dBm between the two.
Technically since we don't have the source code the reason CM10 has data is by a work around.
There really is nothing you can do. It is what it is. I've run devices with CM that have provided better signal, and usually were on sprint lol and then run them where they provide the same or slightly worse quality.
Happens.

This does not ha e anything to do with cm 10. This this to do with the the phone radio. This is the reason why I switched to the DNA now I have Full bars everywhere I go. On my s3 I used to drop calls all the time.

Ok I really hope I'm not beating the dead horse here but I have a similar problem on my verizon Galaxy s3 and I was hoping there might be a fix
My understanding is that the CM developers dont have the GS3 source for something (the RIL?) so they have to use a different RIL? I'm probably totally butchering that, because I dont understand the words I'm using, but from what I've gathered the signal is what it is on CM, and will not improve beyond where it is.
It is certainly usable for me, but there are many times my wife has 4g and I have 3g, or she has a 3g signal and I have nothing at all (she has a stock vzw gs3).

I think you're correct on the RIL part.
I had the same issue on 10.1. I switched to an older radio, and though it is not perfect, it did give me better reception and the switch from 3g to 4g is faster. My radio is VRLHE
Why not try a rom like beans. It is a touch wiz rom that looks like aosp and had a lot of aosp features. That way the radios will work fine you will still have aosp stuff and all the goodness of being rooted.

Let's not get confused here. Tw rom's like beans are themed to look slightly aosp, but are far from it. Aosp has so many customization options that tw cannot come close to. (I'm an aosp guy, if you can't tell). That being said, signal strength will always be an issue on aosp based roms due to the Samsung ril only being licensed to samsung, hence only working on tw rom's. The official ril code will almost never be released as its how qualcom makes its money. Currently aosp rom's use a work around home brewed ril that is very effective, but not quite what stock rom will offer. So if your signal is poor where you are, aosp may not be the best choice for you, but for most the signal is just as good as tw, and imo the only way to run android.

I'm not confused, that's why I said looks like (aka themed like). Also I said some aosp features like MMS, camera/gallery, lock screen to name a few. Its no where near the same but if they are having issues which I read a few people do have with signal and losing data its a nice alternative and has SOME similar features.
