[Q] canadian/bell custom rom - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi everyone. I've done extensive searches, but I can't seem to find very many ROMs for the bell variant. I'm using sonic ROM, but I would like to start using a more common one that updates more often than not, and I don't feel like using cm. I would like to keep it as stock as possible, as I like the Samsung integrations. If anyone can suggest one or two, that would be great. I tried a couple, but when I tried to restore with tb pro, a lot of apps froze during the process, app only and w/data
Thanks y'all

I'm with Bell also. Dandroid and CSROM both worked great with my phone. Very stable. Wasn't that great on battery but I probably could have tried a little tweaking and they would have been fine.

I tried dandroid, but that's where I had problems when I tried to restore. I was almost thinking of his variant 'blandroid' but I don't want to try and then run into the same restore issues. I think I'm going to try the new wicked ROM. It looks very promising

I'm a noob but in my experience what recovery system you use to flash a ROM will make all the difference. I normally use Twrp but for some reason can't install Cyanogen mod without CWM.
I used twrp for dandroid without any issues.

I've always used cwm and haven't had a problem restoring user apps after a flash

I always though any ROM for AT&T would work on the Canadian variants as all you'd need to do is update the APN settings.
Now I'm not so sure.
I'd like to try Task650 but I'm sure I read somewhere that it's AT&T only.

Generally, yes at&t roms do work on the Canadian networks, most of the time without adding the apns. I was just wondering if there's any Canadian devs out there or someone who's done work specifically for the Canadian networks/variant.
I just flashed wicked Rome v7, and it seems to work well sofar

Did you have to do anything with APN settings or anything? Everything worked on first reboot?

I'm on Telus running tasks AOKP and they have a telus APN setting. No changes were made.
I've flashed almost all the ROMs and with the odd exception for the newer ones (paranoid android beta and xylon) all the apns for Canada are already there.

It's marked as at&t only now because task is in the states. He can't fix any issues we might have being on Canadian carriers so it's "at&t only". Trust me it works fine.

Wicked v7 is installed with aroma which is pretty snappy I must say. I've come across aroma before, and I like being able to have different options to choose from

As you said, generally speaking, AT&T ROMs will work no problem on Canadian variants.
However, you can find some ROMs that are based on Canadian stock ROMs (Rogers, Bell, Telus...). Try searching for VLDLK4-based ROMs (instead of VLDLK3, which is AT&T). Examples of them are Bertiespeed, i747z, I747MVLDLK4_DJJOHNNYBLAZE_MODV1, seeARMS, NexusMod K4, Bacon-JB...

Its not recomended but you can, otherwise it will brick. You can still get data and signal ive tried that before, you might have to change the APN to actually fix MMS/SMS/Data isues.
Some people says that it works like charm. That you can flash att s3 roms to your tmobile s3 and everything works.
I had flashed the jellybam from att and it works like charm. also look at this thread that came out on the verizon forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069850
I've flashed about 4 different at&t roms all without issues or having to change anything after for things to work properly.
Thanks everybody. You guys helped out a S3 noob very much.

at most after wards I change bild prop stuff from "d2att" to "d2tmo" just incase it may cause any issues but sometimes I don't and didn't see any issues. I always refer back to T-Mobile rom cause if I'm going to use a TW rom it's only for Wi-Fi calling, and we have (In My Opinion) great devs here for our AOSP and AOKP stuff. If you have any questions post here and I'll do my best to help. I'm off for the weekend will be lurking the forums for the day for the most part.

Most custom ROM's are without radios. You can always pull the radio and edit the update script.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes you can edit the update scrip tried a sprint room they have the radio the only ones that dont have it are the cm 10.1 but we have cm10.1 why should we flash a room that we alredy have and we dont have edit the update scrip well thats my opinion

So you say we can't because you are lazy? If you want a sprint or Verizon rom you would be willing to remove the radio file and update the script (honestly 2 minutes of work).
I can confirm I had the 4.1 version of sprints PA ROM (was out before ours or ATT) working, I needed tmobile radio and kernel (took from early port of CM10) and needed an APN app to set APNS as settings APN selector force closed on me.

The radio you get from the development forum. you have a good radio if you get T-Mobile signal. Try downloading HiAPN Global or see if you can change the APNs in the settings menu, I would bet you the APN for T-Mobile is not there.

pegapega02 has been lazy about roms for what feels like eternity, I wouldn't sweat it.
A week ago I tested exactly what you mentioned here... a sprint rom with the tmobile radio. Worked like a champ. Ended up going back to Teshxx's deodexed t-mobile rob because at the end of the day, every single thing works right out of the box, including the themes I want to install on top.
How did you get around the APN force close issue?

In case you need to keep an eye on the ROMs, here is an up-to-date list.

Darthstalker ROM -- All things not development related--

I figured I would start this thread so that we can move all the non-development talk out of the development section. I hope people will use it so that when something that pertains to development is talked about it will be easier to find. We can discuss what kernels gives best battery life, which ones work and which one break things. We can post about our favorite apps, widgets, wallpapers, or how the weather is outside. Maybe someone will get help on an issue they are having. We can discuss anything within the guidelines of XDA, lets just try to help keep Jovy's thread clean.
I'll start, has anyone had an issue when coming out of sleep the screen is dim and you have to go into brightness and tap it to make it work? I think maybe I set my clock frequency to low or maybe I should be using a different governor. Another issue that bugs me is when I have ripple effect set and use a black background for my lockscreen the borders of the screen look slightly grey. I have read posts about this and by turning off ripple effect the color is like it should be. I like the ripple effect and I like black backgrounds, does anyone know about a fix for this, or does anyone notice this issue on their phone.
Here's the link to the Darthstalker ROM if you read this post and want to check out the actual ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014442
I am not the developer of this ROM, all credit for this great ROM goes to jovy23 and those he's listed in his OP.

I flash quite a few kernels, always making a backup prior so I can always restore. When restoring I always wipe like I'm installing a new ROM. Just to make sure nothing gets left behind.

Same here! I find 99.9% of ROM-related issues for us flashaholics stem from not performing a full wipe prior to a flash. I've been fully stable on every DaRTHSTALKER update, with LOTS of varying kernel testing, by using this method. Full data + cache + Dalvik wipe then flash than another cache/dalvik wipe before the boot is always a good strategy!

Much better. I guess I didn't even try the Rom tweaks on this one in the first place. Gonna see tomorrow how much better it will be. On another note, has anyone successfully connected to allshare play with another gs3? My girlfriend got hers (completely stock 4.1.1 w/no root) and everything else interacts except for that. Would like to group cast with her and I've followed the videos online to do it but our phones don't show up in each other's network, connected to WiFi of course.

Thank you for this thread, this is an excellent idea!
I've been a fan of this ROM since the very day the version 9 was uploaded. I got my SGS3 late December (this is my first android device), tried a few ROMs and stopped on this one. (BTW: a suggestion to put a link to the DARTHSTALKER S3 ROM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014442 on OP so everyone new to this knows what it is all about).
This being my first post on the entire forum I was not allowed to ask questions on the original ROM's threads (and there are at least two I am following).
Now, if you don't mind a newbie question, here it is:
I am a T-mo subscriber using an unlocked AT&T phone. Currently I am on DARTHSTALKER v9 port for AT&T (here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087164 ). As the most of you I am eagerly awaiting version X1 of the DaRTHSTALKER, but my question is: can I just flash the T-mobile version or should I wait for when an AT&T PORT is available?
Thnks.

I had something happen last night that I've never had happen before and maybe sometime can tell me what it was. I was restoring back after messing with a few mods that didn't work and when my phone booted up in the lower left corner it said "Safe Mode". I went back into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik cache, fixed permissions, and then rebooted and safe mode was gone. What is safe mode?
Thanks,
Todd
Edit: Should have used Google first. Safe mode is similar to computer safe mode. It only loads base os to allow for removal of files. Still don't understand why it happened, but atleast I know it wasn't something bad.

I WOULD NOT DO THAT! Although I cannot answer the question directly, every carrier has modified there own Galaxy S3. They are all completely different. I know that if you flash a Universal galaxy S3 rom onto a T-Mobile device, it will completely hard brick it due to a change in the partition structure. If you have an At&t device, I would still stick to the Galaxy s3 at&t roms even though T-mobile is your carrier.

+1. Unlocking your phone only allows it access to a different carriers sim card. It does not change the base of the phone itself. I have a Tmobile SG3 that's unlocked for my travels but any ROM I flash must be a tmo based ROM. In your case stick with the ATT ROMs so you don't end up with a brick, and enjoy this great rom
My s3 is stalking your s3....
Does anyone have a flashable (zip) stock kernel?
I have looked and looked with no luck, I mean I can always just re flash the rom, but wanted to explore other alternatives first.
Thanks for creating this thread btw.

[Q] Best option for AT&T phone on T-Mobile

So I am new to GSM phones anyway but I just got an AT&T GSIII and I am using it on T-Mobile. I am a Sprint user initially (rooted Gnexus) and testing T-Mobile in an area I frequent to compare if it is worth switching.
My questions is I am already downloading the root kit and ready to run a ROM but should I use a T-Mobile Rom or an AT&T Rom. Also not sure if I should be asking this in the T-Mobile general section. Any advice would be great.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
If its an ATT phone it should have an ATT ROM. (I've never tried any other carries so anyone else correct me if I'm wrong)
Just set your APNs to tmobiles APN and you should be set.

You can use any Rom that states the option for picking tmobile or att in Aroma installer
Also I can verify you can odin a stock T-Mobile tar file onto the i747 and get perfect working 4g and wifi calling.
Flashing strictly t-mobile roms may be another problem.
A few good roms for T-Mobile users on the att i747 @re
Wicked Rom v10
And T-Motion both in att android dev.
Make sure to choose t-mobile as the carrier when u set up aroma install on the i747 if you use tmobile sim..
The reason the roms all works across the t999 @i747 is because the phones are so identical and the build props have been tweaked/edited to create working roms on a completely diff carrier device.

I am trying to find out the ROM for my i747 that I am using for T-Mobile, that will give me 4G and WIFI calling.
If I will use Wicked Rom v10 or T-Motion will I get these functions working ? If not, what ROM would you suggest?
I am completely new, so don't blame me guys
Thank you.
I was running axis ROM and it worked great. Lots of stock features like multi window and motions. But very customizable. I haven't tried flashing a T-Mobile ROM yet tho. Actually didn't know I could. I thought the Roms were specific to the phone model

You mean that WIFI calling was working?
You should have no problems flashing T-Mobile ROMs on there, and you can always flash back to an AT&T rom if it doesn't work.
You will need to follow these instructions to get it to flash though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45813646&postcount=2

no havent got that working.
I would like to know the same thing i tried flashing a couple of different roms and so far i think the miuiandroid has the best cell reception so far if anyone has a rom that suits tmobile on a at&t s3 it would be awesome.
Thanks
There are a few roms made for T-Mobile that have been tweaked FULL WIFI CALLING
FULL 4G.[/QUOTE said:

Wondering if you ever got this done and working with WiFi calling.
I have this funky i747 in a T999 case thing going. I'm running an ATT stockmod ROM on it, but thinking of flashing a T-Mobile ROM on it
This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501303 - though I've been advised not to flash the modem it says to flash ... last time I did on this phone I lost IMEI ... upside is this time the NVitems data has been backed up). At any rate, I haven't tried it yet. Word is it'll either work or it won't, and I can flash back to the ATT stockmod I'm using if it doesn't. But I'm a little leery of trying it right now.
The reason to do it would be to get wifi calling. Otherwise I like the phone just fine the way it is. That's why I'm reading threads like this. To see what experience others have had.
I flushed with Wicked v10 :

I have i747 and using it for T-Mobile and WIFI calling is working !!!

International I9505 Rom working on T-Mobile S4 M919!!

So I went ahead and flashed the i9505 Wanam Rom from here and it works great on my M919. The rom doesn't have a modem so I figured it would be safe and sure enough it was. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283194
No wipe is required either. I simply flashed it using CWM and I now have a GT-I9505 model with all T-Mo bloatware gone! I really like the blue dialer on this too!
You will get reboot notifications, to remove that simply download "Bloatware Freezer" from Playstore and freeze the app called SEAndroid. That should take care of it.
Oh man... Fully functional though? I'd imagine Wifi Calling would be a goner, not that I ever use it anyway...

No Tmo features...obviously.
Yes, a lot of people don't realize their options for goodies go beyond just the specific m919 forum. Check out the general international S4 I9505 forums. It's were I spend most my time.
Development is lagging for the m919 variant. There are only a few ROMs & choices, with slow updates.... and plenty of time has passed since release, so I'm not sure how much better it will get. It's the one negative part about Sammy devices....fragmentation of the same model. It would be nice to see a majority of elite Devs working on the same model....like the One.
MANY of the mods/themes/ROMs etc...work great with our device. The radio is the only difference between various 9505 models.
Cheers!
Awesome. But who puts a modem in custom roms now days? Lol Now that I can see that this phone is actually the same hardware as the international we can have roms from there too..... In this case if a leak of a newer android update comes out we can have it port over. And not wait for tmobile,,,
If that the case than AT&T, VERIZON, AND SPRINT can be ported all like on the s3 but the fun part is the even international too
I hope this all works so far I'm very happy with wicked but more options are never a bad thing

Wow I had no idea I could use i9505 roms. I thought i may be able to but wasn't sure. Awesome.
Working great so far. Only problem I noticed so far was constant notification from SEAndroid. I simply freezed it using bloatware freezer from Playstore.

lol give us more time, mate. would you rather we release untested ROMs? i'm sure there are a number of us floating around here that have a ROM we can put out right this second but it is good practice to test first and ensure there are no issues. this can take a little bit. i myself am in testing phase. maybe the phone has been out a while, but i personally have only had one for 2 and a half weeks. a lot of stuff in the other sections will be ported over. i have to get a good working and stable base out first before i start adding in more tweaks that will seemingly overwhelm most typical users.
also, please be weary of flashing an entire ROM from i9505 section. if there are CSC bits contained within it, you won't have a signal like you're supposed to.
Totally agree with the previous poster. These things take time to make.
With that said this is good news. Hopefully, we can get a dev to port these over with TMO features & Csc files.
I know AT&T GN2 had an awesome dev that ported Int GN2 over with options for TMO, AT&T & Canadian carriers.

not necessarily. It's probably a good idea to ask the OP
Not any roms from the i9500.. only the i9505 as we share the quad-core processor

Anyone know if the international version supports 2 way call recording out of the box?

No don't do this. Simply download "Bloatware Freezer" from Playstore and freeze the app called SEAndroid. That should take care of it.

Any ROM made for I9505, you can use. Make sure the ROM doesn't have a modem baked into it (ROMs usually don't, but you must make sure). You will then have to download and app called "Bloatware Freezer" from Play Store and freeze the system app called 'SEAndroid'
thank for the tip mate

Works great, even support video call like you see in the Korean dramas. Too bad no US provider supports that
Any way if we manually added or flashed the T-Mobile bloat we could use visual voicemail at least?
Also do you feel that the battery life and overall performance is better in these ROMs?
Can we still use 4g/ 4g lte with these ROMs automatically or do we need to mess with the APN to a certain extent?
Thank you. I am considering flashing because I'm loving those ROMs and themes in the international forums especially that dark android theme that doesn't work well with our phones
