So I used Rom Toolbox but it only replaced the battery icons that were 10,20,30 etc. other than that, the charging and battery intervals such as 98,98,97 etc are the icon Dakman ported.

Try a different icon set. Some are not 1% intervals.

I found some icons online. Is there a way to flash the zip through Rom Toolbox?
Also, is this rom deodexed? I'm still confused on the difference between deodexed and odexed.

I believe it deodexed and Rom Toolbox is supposed to be able to flash icon zips, but I have never tried.

Yep. Everything works.

Ever since I flashed, I've only gotten 3G coverage. I do get 4G coverage in my area but it just doesn't connect. What should I do?
I just formatted system,data,cache and reinstalled and 3G only still works :S

Try updating profile. My 4g worked great when I was on this rom.

Did you make sure you had your network mode set to lte/cdma?

Yup. I even switched it to cdma, rebooted, then switched back to cdma/lte.

A bad dl maybe? This rom is based off of stock vm rom, so all should work as it did on stock. What all have you flashed/done?

Let's see, when I got my GS3, turned it on. Logged in and did the change phones option from the VM website. And then I rooted using the method from this thread and then I downloaded the MidnightROM and flashed the zip.

Try downlaoding rom again and reflash. May have been a bad download. Did you also update prl?
MaRz0o

I will do just that. Would I be able to dirty flash? And yes. I updated profile and prl.

Dirty flashing might work, but clean install is always preferred.

Some VM s3s were in fact originally sprint s3s. They just flashed new software to make it virgin .. I experinved this when i had a hardware issue and had to have my virgin s3 replaced by virgin...they sent me a sprint s3...it was reworked for virgin but it WAS originally sprint....when i factory reset the replacment phone...all the virign apps coverted to sprint...the my account icon changed right infront of my eyes to the sprint zone icon when i tapped it...if u got it from the virgin website this is probably your issue...flashing mopedryders apn fix for tw(the all in one didnt work) fixed the same problem when I experienced it..

So you're saying I should flash mopedryders apn fix? I actually ordered my GS3 from HSN lol. If I made a backup of my phone and flashed the fix and didn't fix, I could restore and get the original apn I had before correct?

Apn Backup and Restore from the Play store can back it up.

I can't find a link for the apn fix. Can someone link me?
EDIT: nevermind I found it lol.
EDIT 2: Arrgh. So I was able to back up my APN but I can't restore it cause it said something about not being able to restore on 4.0+. Also, I flashed MOD #1 of MopedRyders. It took forever to get the data to work but right now. Only 3G is working. I can't send MMS to myself :S.
EDIT 3: Okay. I got the old APNs back. But here's a thought. Does anyone have the original APNs from the stock version of this phone? I specifically remember 4G actually working for me before I flashed this Midnight ROM.
