Nexus/Pure Android Rom for Samsung Galaxy SIII SPH-L710?


Recommended Posts

Okay, so I got my Galaxy SIII SPH-L710 rooted today and I am searching for a good Nexus/Vanilla Android rom for mine. I found SuperNexus, which is what I am looking for, but that wasn't for my device. Anyone know of any good roms that fit that description?

There are pretty much only 2 AOSP projects for the S3. CM and AOKP which is based off of CM code. Your only other choice is a Touchwiz ROM themed to look like AOSP, but it will still look like crap. Most themers don't know when to stop.

Dang. Oh well. Thanks for your help! I think I will go with this SlimRom 4.1.2 that looks like about what I am looking for. Thanks again, I appreciate your help!

There's SlimROMs, Carbon, PA, Illusion, and other smaller ones.  I'd say development for the S3 is awesome!  For the OP, I'd recomend latest CM10 nightlies, or SlimROM.  I also recommend Carbon but it's usually the most experimental imo.

Aren't they all based off of CM? Basically CM with different tweaks? I could be wrong, I have grown to old to flash all the different ones.

The CM Devs will write AOSP drivers for their respective devices and release them with CM builds. CM is an improved AOSP. You could build your own AOSP builds from Google's sources directly while using the CM dev's drivers but it would lack many features you take for granted in CM and TW.

Now that I have the new Nexus 7 2013, I don't really want pure Android on my GS3. But I am interested in rooms that others really like. Any suggestions?

I should have a nice clean S3 ROM out in a few weeks once I get the test device in that a member is letting me borrow.

Woohoo!!! You have no idea how happy that makes me! =)

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
