Best regards,

But I've one question.
Does your Skyrocket gps fix time is fast in your vietnam country?
Normally gps lock time is about 5~10 sec.
because, I will purchase skyrocket, but some of phones are using agps surver using
their own country.(for example, T-mobile G2x using T-mobile a-gps server,
So it will cause gps fix laggy)

thanks you
GPS fix super fast here. If the weather good it make take just a few second. I am trying flash T989 rom to see if anything better.

you're welcome.
I think overseas users make a thread.
Isn't it? hehe
I am very very wodner that compatibility to
AT&T ROM(727) , Rogers ROM(727R), T-mobile ROM(989) all models?
For example, I will use to Odin.
* If I have a i727 ATT Device,
1) flash to i727R ? not bricked?
2) flash to i989 ? not bricked?
If I get a i727 ATT device, I will flash i727 Rogers ROM.
Because AT&T have many pre-load apks. And too many customizing.

[Q] n00b question regarding Straight Talk and ICS

I have ordered a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (I727) unlocked and plan to use it with Straight Talk using an AT&T compatible SIM card. My understanding is that this should work fine. My question involves upgrading the phone to Ice Cream Sandwich when it is available.
Since I will be using Straight Talk, I will not be an AT&T customer, but will be using their network. Will I get the ICS update when AT&T releases it or will I have to do something myself to get it?
I have never rooted a phone or flashed a new ROM and am not sure how comfortable I would be doing that. Would that be necessary to get the update?
Thanks

Since it's an AT&T phone you'll probably get the update along with everyone else.

You'll get the update. I've had to flash to 2.3.5 before and was able to go to 2.3.6 no problem. OTA still works. I'm on straighttalk

[Q] Cyanogen10 Rom for Samsung Showcase (SCH-i500) Cellcom WI

Hey guys,
I have a carrier specific CDMA smartphone I was wondering if anyone would be able to create a cyanogen 10 rom for me that uses the company's specific signal and data. Previously, I tried flashing a Verizon rom, but data wasn't enabled.
I am using a Samsung Showcase (A Galaxy S Phone).
Model number SCH-i500 RKB
Carrier: Cellcom in Wisconsin
I would be able to provide my stock backups if need be. I want to flash a jelly bean or ics rom, but I am unable to because of this.
Thanks!

Im actually running 4.1.1 with all the mods for GSM and is working, the data speed can't be faster than Edge (E) simple because the Bands are different from LA, the S3 from verizon only have 2100 so we are out f luck for more speed.
But yes even with the stock ROM you can re install everything to make GSM work again.

Thank you, you will have the link to follow to the letter and to enjoy the 4.1.1? this would help much since there is much information and I want to avoid mixed brick my team

could i install at&t gs3 room on partialy unlocked verizon gs3 ?!

Hello .....
As in the title .... I'm from Egypt .... I bought a unlocked Verizon gs3 except for SMS sending " I can receive only SMS " , service codes ..... But every thing else is working .....
Could I flash an at&t based room to obtain gsm options only not mixed with CDMA !!
I know it has different radio signales ... But 3g or edge are useless to me ... I want to fix the SMS , code service more than them ...
1- Could I do so or it will brake my gs3 !!
2- I don't know the method of unlocking !! Is there any way to complete the unlocking !?

Most ROMs have a check in the updater script that checks if the ROM you are flashing matches your version of the S3. Besides I'm pretty sure you would brick. I know for a fact you would brick if you flashed an AT&T S3 kernel on your VZW S3.

att
When I had at&t, and was using a verizon s3 I flashed a At&t Version oc Cm10 and it worked. It only got edge speeds. But it worked. I have not tried any other rom. This was about 8mos ago.
Data/mms/sms all worked. I'm now on verizon so no longer need to do that..

You can flash it and it will work but it's not a great idea. There is a lot of code that is specific to carriers in framework. Jar and framework2.jar. If you do flak this you will be pinging off of the wrong towers and I'm sure the caskets will not be too happy with that. This could be one reason why they are making it more difficult to unlock bootloader now a days. That's other than the fact that they are greedy money hungry control freaks.
