I know there isn't a metro s3 forum due to biest reasons, but I've seen some mention of people saying vzw s3 roms should be compatible on metro s3' seeing as all hardware is the same, aside from apn settings
Anyone know if any vzw roms will work and what won't work for instance Any particular ones that can be flashed?

It will have to be modified/ported for the ROM to work on metro pcs. They won't work as it is as the ROM isn't intended for that carrier. The same goes with all carriers.
Well I tried it anyhow and It did flash, two roms did..
Flashing and Booting went fine. The only problem is has no signal I believe since vzw locks there apn settings we will have to make apn manager pro a system app via titanium backup and the edit metros apn settings

It will be much easier to flash metro pcs ROMs to your device:

I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 (T-Mobile) and it includes all the unneccesary bloatware. Since I'm not a T-Mobile customer, I would prefer not to have all the extra T-Mobile applications, so I was wondering when rooting with Odin 3, instead of using T-Mobiles stock image, can I possibly use a different carriers, like WIND Mobile.
The instructions I got were from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
When I tried using the WIND image on my T-Mobile device, rooting fails!
Any suggestions?
BUMP
You probably can some way, but you could also just use the T-Mobile one and de-bloat after root.

Yea, I've tried that already but the issue is I want to remove the T-Mobile Hotspot application that they've integrated into the stock hotspot which does not seem to remove (cannot be found in the applications).
Any other suggestions?
Hey all. I flashed my first rom today and its just stuck on "activate mobile data service". If I press skip, it would be able to make calls but no 3g data. I took out the sim card and still no luck. There is no APN settings on the mobile options. Not sure what to do here.

Call Sprint (using a phone other than your Nexus 5) and ask them to re-provision your data. This happens quite frequently on other devices also after flashing a new ROM with Sprint service.
Just keep in mind that neither Google or Sprint have to support the custom ROM. While they may not know that you are on the custom ROM, I would just put it back to stock and see if it work first.
I found the fix. There's a flashable apn zip for sprint that got me data.

[FIX] Get Sprint Data To Work On Custom Roms.
sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus
I have the same problem
Hi guys I have the same problem. My sprint Galaxy s4 had a custom rom installed,and sprint told me I cannot activate my phone because of this. Anyhow I installed the factory rom on it. After that they activated it for me, I'm wondering if I can root it again and flash an custom rom again. Please someone help. Would it affect my phone service.
Um this is nexus 5 forum

Ok guys I know there are other threads about howbto get this phone to work on carriers like tmobile and att but I can't seem to get anything to work. I am rooted and fairly certain my bootloader is unlocked because I'm running a custom rom but nothing seems to work the most that I've gotten is under settings it shows my phone number but I can't get calls or signal or anything with any carrier. Is it that my carrier isnt unlocked ? I have mynphone set to global and hage tried gsm and nothing and tried apns and nothingg. The only thing I havent been able to test is the hidden menus trick and that's cuz I cant find a rom that has the options for all the steps plz help guys I really wanna at least make calls.

Ok I figured it out had to flash synergy rom for the hidden menus and then within service node got band selection for gsm and switched to a lot k works like a charm now. Smh can anyone tell me if its safe to flash other roms without the bands changing?

I have an unlocked G2 from Verizon, rooted. 8 have all the carrier settings in place, but I have a couple icons on top of status bar that I want to go away. Do I need to install a TMO ROM for that? There is a SIM card symbol, the roaming symbol and what looks to be the GPS, but the GPS is off, slim assuming it's the global symbol. Any help would be nice.. thanx...

Not sure if anyone interested, I'm on stock VZW ROM, and rooted. Been looking to get a ROM that would allow the LTE in New Orleans. Well phone lost service. For about 10mins, just left alone, and it came back with the 4G LTE symbol, hmmm.

Well, as for an update, the 4G LTE went away after about 20mins. Jasnt popped back up...

I think most of us understand the different carrier bands.
The phone itself is unlocked. So it supports GSM. The question is mostly is there a ROM that will give an equivalent support for the ROM to act like the GSM tmobile ROM

did anyone figure out how to get t mobile rom properly loaded onto verizon g2? I been working on this for a while but it doesnt even let me flash it. gives me error message could not open zip.
You can try doing this.
All models are the same hardware with some minor difference. CDMA VS GSM has nothing to do with flashing roms.
What I would do is get cloudystock rom and unzip it. Inside of it you will see a folder named variant. Get copy all those files from your variant folder and paste/replace on a tmobile rom with 7zip.
There you will have a tmobile rom with all the requirements from your model to work.
Let me know if this helps. Good luck
Everything was going good up untill the 5th and bamm.. Lost data.. So figure i would wait and just flashed the 12th and still no good. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Flashed Slim 7.8 and its working fine.
And I'm pretty sure we are officially supported, right?http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/61149/
Does stock sms work for mms on SlimROM or are there still APN issues with it like CM?
Yeah, i use chomp with slim cause there is the same issue with the apns.. I played with the apns for ever and could never get anything to work and just gave up. Lol... I dont know enough about it to fix it. Maybe you can. There is a guide with an app called apn backup and restore here at xda.. Have to move app to system app priv.. Do a search for it. Good luck!
Just tried APN backup and restore following the directions I found on XDA. The app said the restore process was successful but I still get the no APN message and MMS doesn't work. Reverted back to stock again.
