    Thread Does flashing the Unlocked U1 BL w/ T-Mo user data in the CSC work to carrier switch?

    What I did to get around the model mismatch to flash from AT&T over to T-Mo, was use the U1 bootloader + TMB userdata in CSC.., I got a T-Mo boot screen, multiline (DIGITS), etc. after not being able to shake the AT&T software. It seems with the modded ODin and the unlocked S8 BL, the model...

    Thread Excellent performance on CM9 release

    I just loaded CM9 on my Vibrant coming from another 4.0 ICS rom and I must say, I don't ever remember the phone being this tolerable to use. And I had it overclocked to 1400MHz. Anyone else re-enjoying their old flame with CM9?

    These cases are more for fashion than anything else but they look great! Fitment is excellent for the cost. You can find a barrage of colors on eBay. Protection is low as you would expect. Both cases either come in matte or glossy depending on the color. From my T-Mobile Galaxy S III in HD
