Is there a ROM right now for the S3 L710 that supports Pokemon GO? Or do I need to buy a new phone to play the game?
What Android version did you use?
I'm on 4.4.2 it starts but I get "GPS signal not found", and parts (or all) of the UI are missing.

i am using the stock sprint s3 rom 4.4.2 (used to be rooted) and the game works for me.
Where did you get the game? It shouldn't be in the play store (yet) for the s3, I had to copy the apk from my s7 and installed it from my google drive.
the only issue I was getting, was after loging in with my user name and password, I saw a screen with the background but nothing to click on. there's a button that doesn't show up on the s3 near the bottom center. keep clicking (with sound on so you know you click it) and you will get past that prompt for the professor to talk and give you a tour.
Other than that, i have no issues. throwing pokemon balls is a little more challenging on the S3 than the S7, but it runs well enough to play,
Make sure your location setting is on "High Accuracy" and dont have "allow mock locations checked

Aside from some weird UI issues in the Pokedex, my son had been playing Pokemon GO on the latest AICP MM ROM. The only major issue is that the battery tends to die faster than he can finish a gym battle at the end of a round of walking.
I got Pokemon Go playing on my device flawlessly, after flashing the latest nightly of the Exodus ROM (6.0.1) for the Sprint Samsung S III (d2spr). I was previously using the ROM Wicked X (4.4.2) where it wasn't working, I could never get it to find my GPS even after turning off mock locations and turning on High Accuracy.

FWIW, Exodus Nightly + GAPPS PICO runs Pokemon GO extremely smooth on my SGS3. Superior to my bone stock SGS6 running TouchWiz.
