I've done a little AOSP building/roming on the Galaxy Nexus and I just picked up used SGS3 to use as an mp3 player. My question is, is it a doable operation to surgically remove all the cell components (drivers, etc) so that the device is no longer aware it has a cell radio? Right now I just use airplane mode with wifi on but I'd rather it just act completely like a GS3 version of the Galaxy Player.
When building AOSP for the Gnex I had to specifically extract the proprietary binaries for stuff like the CDMA radio and stuff. I'm assuming these are also proprietary binaries on the SGS3. Would removing them have the desired effect?
If this is possible, I could see benefit in doing this and releasing it as a "media player ROM". I can't imagine I'm the only one who would want to use the SGS3 for this.
