[Q] What ROM Can I Jump To? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok I'm lost. I've been reading around for the past few hours & I've been out of the loop for too long to make sense of this.
I have scrosler's [ROM][1/27/14] - Stock Rooted Knoxless - VRUCML1 - Android 4.3. I have the unlocked bootloader because I have TWRP installed (right?). I did NOT take the OTA to get to 4.3.
With baseband VRUCML1 can I jump to any other ROMS still? Or what should/shouldn't I be looking for?
I'm thinking of trying CM11 or SlimKat

If you can list the version then that would be great. If you do have TWRP installed, yes your bootloader is unlocked and you can flash any Touchwiz rom up to 4.3 or any AOSP rom.

I think you misinterpreted me. You can flash any AOSP rom that you want since you have TWRP installed. You're limited to 4.3 roms for Touchwiz. CM and SlimKat are ok.
Word of advice, if you're looking to use KitKat AOSP, the S3 has unified builds. One zip for multiple carriers. KitKat AOSP roms will be listed as "d2lte" when you search for recently updated downloads.

As you told you have custom recovery and unlocked bootloader...
I have tried many ROMs and personally will suggest you to go with cm11 .
Slim is also cool but cm has good features and gets updated quickly as there is a Professional team working on it.
Where as on slim if some one ports or adds some more stuff then u will get update which won't be ota ( cm will have some ota update )
Cm is cool ASOP is also cool.

Next time I'm dropping the $ on an unlocked phone so I don't have to "think" about what I can & can't do (Stupid Verizon).

You're welcome, always here to help out :good::good:
Also, I'm thinking the same as well in terms of an unlocked phone. Tired of worrying about which OTA is not for my phone or things like that.

This is actually a question I've had for a while. What sorts of things have OTA updates on CM? Does CM update "OTA" often or rarely? I used CM years ago on my OG Droid, but they didn't have updates back then. I keep hearing there are some kinds of updates on CM, but I can never find out what this really means... can you elaborate for me, please?

It depends actually if the developers will fix and update your device ... its on luck ... for example if the developer has the device and he will update for himself. Also it depends on device if it is capable of running the new android , means the hardware capablitity .... You can install cm11 as they are fast in fixing stuff and if you have some problem , xda will help you as cm is common on xda...
I had used cm11 on galaxy tab 2 and it worked like charm ... i was update ( android version v4.4.4 where as on stock they use v4.2 ) f***ing nice.... thanks to xda and cm.... love you all....

[Q] system update 4.0.4 with teamos 1.0 rom

Hello, i installed the teamos rom stable a week ago, and i'm very surprised to receive what it seems like an official update to 4.0.4. So i have a few questions :
1. Is it safe to accept this update ? I mean without loosing the teamos features ?
2. Could the teamos propose its updates the same way ?
Thank you
1. No. You will end up in a boot loop.
2. They don't have that capability to my knowledge.

you need to get the paid version of Titanium Backup and freeze the android updater process to prevent the update notifications.

I agree the solution would be to upgrade to a 4.0.4 teamos version. Maybe they could tag this as a 1.5 stable So « simple users» like me wouldn't be afraid.
The problem still exists since a new 4.0.5 OTA would cause the same problem......

system update 4.0.4 with teamos 1.0 rom
I would never try to perform an official OTA update after a custom from has been installed. That is just asking for trouble. You also mentioned that you were running team eos's rom. I can tell you first hand experience, I've been a very loyal team EOS from user for my Xoom for several months and typically load every nightly they put out for my model. The reason I point this out, is because most times the developer roms xda are actually much further along than the official updates. The biggest example is the fact that ICS is not available officially from Motorola/Verizon as of yet. Plus you get so many features and functions you will likely not see in the official builds.
Others - feel free to help me explain, agree, disagree, etc....
Good luck,
®obert
I've tried many, and I mean many roms, mods, and themes. Hands down - Team EOS is the single most exciting, knowledgeable, helpful and down right customer oriented in the Android Development groups.

Android 4.4 Kitkat for Sensation

Well, we all know Google already published Android 4.4 Kitkat and also the source is already pushed to AOSP trees. It means Cyanogenmod and the other custom roms based on AOSP is ready for Kitkat. Let's talk about Kitkat here, calling all the devs who maintain CyanogenMod and AOSP based roms for Sensation
EDIT: Okay, now we already have 4 Kitkat Roms for Sensation. Here is the list:
1. Sultan's a.k.a @android1234567 CM11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530073
The most (imho) stable CM11 at this moment, the only broken things are Front facing camera and some games give you black screen, I've tested Asphalt 8 and its force close. I use this rom for my daily driver.

2. @dominos_liberty CM11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540521
The first, CM11 with 3.4 Kernel powered for Sensation. I don't tested this rom yet. I think almost everything is working but camera still having some issues.

3. @albinoman887 CM11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524961
Another CM11 for Sensation, almost stable but maybe this rom little bit outdated since Albinoman said that he was having problem with his real life. So, just be patient.

4. @rathore4u Carbon ROM 4.4.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444478
Yeaa this is Carbon ROM, my favorite one because it has tons of customization on previous JB 4.3.1. Some features not added yet on KK 4.4.2. This rom pretty stable for me.

However, since 4.2 Qualcomm do not provide libs for the Snapdragon S3, which means that some functionality will still be broken (however, it still works fine, As demonstrated on CM10.1 and 10.2). I hope it will run at least like the current CM versions on the sensation (or even better).
My hope is team carbon as they have pushed out 4.3.1 update and works fine along with Sultan Kernel.....hopefully they will work on 4.4:fingers-crossed:
Yes, we will see it, but not that soon. Cyanogen team announced that they are going to maintain and get the most of 4.3 because of all the hard work of the devs, and then start working on 4.4 (yumm)

I hope that we'll get 4.4 kitkat on our sensation
I want it.
Well, I really want to get the android 4.4 rom for this device. And I also hope the sense will be launched on 4.4 roms.

Hi everybody…. I am completely lost when trying to use a ROM (I don't even know what that stands for) to jailbreak (I know that's more of an iPhone term so I apologize in advance) my Sensation. I'd like to try to get KitKat on there but I don't even know where to begin. Is there a site or a step by step guide that anyone can lead me to? THANKS in advance!!!
There is no kitkat for sensation at the moment...
CM 10.2 from 4.3 is still under construction...

Hoping for Carbon or CM 11 for my Sensation

What can I Flash is anything.. there's just too much info and a lot of post with no or little direct answer..

Flash kangabean ROM if you're looking for AOSP experience. If you want to remain on touchwiz try GoldenEye. It has 4.3 software and is smooth as fk... Unless you're Canadian then you'll experience data drops during calls. I'm using kangabean right now and I'm enjoying it.

[Q] New refurb I535 with 4.1.2 MB1... update choices?

I just received a refurb I535 from ebay.
Thought it would come with 4.3, so I was planning to use saferoot..
Lo and behold it came with 4.1.2 build MB1.
Now I'm faced with more choices.
Here's the thing.
It's going to be flashed to Page Plus Cellular, so no rom changes or updates ever again (without a $45 reflash I'm told)..
So.......update to 4.1 MF1 and call it a day or go up to 4.3 and live with a locked bootloader and saferoot?
Just want the best / stable factory rom that I can safely root, then disable OTA, & kill bloatware.
*EDIT* what about modem / reception tradeoffs?
What would you do?
OK so considering you want a fully stable ROM with 0 bugs and you don't mind touchwizz then look no further then CleanROM. The most stable TW ROM ever made IMO.
If you want to go AOSP but still want to be as stable as possible. Go with LiquidSmooth. But go with the more stable Jelly Bean builds. I don't think the KITKAT build are 100% bug free yet.
Do NOT go with Cyanogenmod. I do not care what the fanboys say. That ROM is always having issues. For me anyway. If you must have CM then go with Milestone release as those are more stable. But generally for you I would say stay away from CM
You can flash the ML1 modem (4.3). But flash the modem only. NOT the firmware. I'll try to find a working link. I may host it myself. Edit: I went ahead and uploaded it myself

[Q] Old Version of CM - How to Update?

My G2 broke last week and I am using this Galaxy S3 until my G2 gets repaired.
It is currently running a VERY old version of CyanogenMod - CM10.1 20130713 EXPERIMENTAL version and ClockworkMod Recovery V6.0.3.1 which I know is quite old version.
I was wondering what steps I need to take to get this phone running a 4.4.x ROM? What should I flash first? Also any recommendations on 4.4.x ROMs - AOSP vs. TouchWiz?
Thanks in advance.

My recommendation would be to update ClockworkMod Recovery first. I think they're on to version 6.0.4.5 now, not sure though since I'm using TWRP instead.
In regards to choosing a ROM I think that depends on what you're into. Since you're already running CyanogenMod and you want 4.4 then you should probably take a look at CM11. I had mobile network/signal problems using the "Official" build so I'm using a Mastamoon unofficial build, it works great. Search for: cm-11-20140709-unofficial-mastamoon-d2lte.zip

Do I need to flash anything before going to a CM11 ROM from CM10?
I see in a lot of ROM threads about locked bootloader or certain baseband, etc.
Any advice on that? Anything I should be weary about?

Yeah you should probably upgrade to MF1. There is a link to it on the page for that particular ROM i had recommended. I don't think a locked bootloader will be an issue at this point since you've already got CM10 on there.
