Best rom for Rogers s3 - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

I have a rogers s3 i rooted and installed recovery I just want to know if any other people with rogers phone installed any of the custom roms and if so what ones ?
Thx

I have tried the Diet ICS...it works pretty smooth...
but there are few things missing... LTE toggle
I am trying to find themes with 1% battery that work on this rom..does anyone know??

I find that best rom for Rogers or Bell for that matter is actually stock Telus right now. No Rogers bloatware, no fake 4G but like international proper h+, no nfc on symbol cramping my already cramped status bar. Picking lte or hspa or gsm still available in settings and lte only or wcdma only or gsm only still available from *#2263# menu.

Rooted Stock Rogers with all the Samsung and Rogers stuff frozen with tb (gains some free ram). Add in cwm for a recovery and mobile ODIN for tweaking.
Looking forward to cm9 and especially jelly beans based roms.

Every time I flash a custom rom I lose 3g.

Every time I flash a rom I lose 3g. I've tried all the touch wiz roms like wanam and pyrana and everything works except 3g. It goes down to 1x. I still have data just not the 3g speed. Any ideas?

hi to help you out here goes,
its more than likely that when your flashing roms this changes your baseband (ie modem/radio)
to fix this you will need to remember what the original baseband was prior to flashing custom roms (ie when it was stock rom)
if you cant remember try phoning your providor who should be able to tell you.
then simply find the corresponding modem here on xda and wheather its a cwm file (.zip) or odin file (.tar.md5) flash that and 3g should be restored.
however which network are you on and do you have a sg4 (reason being is that its an lte phone built for faster web speed so if your seeing a (dc or 4g) all is well.
also you may have your settings incorrect in wireless and network/more/mobile networks
Yeah I'm on the sprint network and have the 9505. So it's capable of 4g lte but that's not available here yet. It is in Detroit and when I've been closer to there I've seen it switch to 4g but it's always on 3g down here in Ohio. I think it's kernel related as I was messing around with the stock rom and different mods like transparent status bar and different toggle icons and I figured I might as well flash wanams new version of the Adam kernel 1.4 and I lost my data connection. On the stock rom. I restoredit and it was back.

word of advice.. leave the SMSC field alone, don't even hit refresh or whatever
Reflash stock through odin. Make sure LTE is working on stock if not reflash again until LTE appears. Troublesome but unfortunately seems like the only way.
Oh once it appears on stock you can flash your custom ROM over and you're good to go.

Heard about a LTE fix. But cant find it

No LTE after flashing cm 10.1

I've noticed that my phone is no longer able to connect to the LTE towers that are available to me.
I also noticed that my phone uses "1x" when LTE towers are available (so that's fun)
3g and 2g work just fine but LTE refuses to work
Here is what I've tried:
Reinstall the rom
Do a clean install of the rom
Play around with the apn and network mode
Restart my phone
Update the firmware
Update to the latest nightly
What I'm going to do:
Install the stock rom
And/or install the Google play edition rom
Any ideas why LTE isn't working? And does it work on anyone else's phone?

I remember when i would flash CM10 and any CM10 based roms on my sprint Note 2 LTE wouldnt work it was broke on CM10 based roms well any non TW roms one thing that sometimes would fix the issue is reflashing a TW rom updating prl and profile then going right to cm10 but it would lose lte after a reboot for me still.
Also try a different kernel. Works for me when I only have 3g in an LTE area

Dial *#*#4636#*#* tap phone info and make sure your phone is in LTE/CDMA auto prl mode. Like this.

Anybody get 4G LTE running on 4.4?

Running a Cyanogenmod 11 Rom and loving 4.4. For some reason though even though I had it unlocked in my original 10.2, and I have the option to access fast.tmobile.com checked off in settings under 4G LTE (and have even gone so far as to reflash the hybrid modem) I have no access to it.
Anyone else having this issue?
no, ran fine on lte after the first second of upgrading to 4.4. a cm issue maybe?
LTE works for me in Purity ROM 4.4. You do hard to reflash the modem. There are also new modems to download based on the base band 97.

Working fine using the .84/33 hybrid. You need the hybrid modem and a build.prop modification. You can then switch on lte from the phone menu at *#*#4636#*#* by choosing LTE/GSM/CDMA auto.

You want to use theme manager themes on touchwiz? Not possible for many reasons. Its not recommend to install cdma carrier roms on our gsm devices AFAIK.
