From Madbat:
Individual device carrier threads are being merged. So all sph-l710 devices will be together. No different carrier root subforums. The thread will lead with the carrier name now. Lots of maintenance happening.

I'm using the lrs121 rom (with a working stock camera as of today) and I am not getting mobile data, despite flashing the apn fix. I'm using the Sprint NJ2 baseband, per the dev's instructions, and I updated my PRL and profile prior to flashing this rom. Any tips to get this working?
Same here, no data. Others are reporting the same.

How did you get LTE to work on aicp im only getting 3g
I flashed ROM, gapps, and APN fix. But then you have to boot once, then boot back to recovery and flash ROM and gapps again dirty, no wipe and no APN fix. It sounds weird but it works. I figured out this method and others have tested and it works.
Also I have some more good news, we now have official CM12.1!!!
So if you already did ROM, gapps and APN and only getting 3g, just dirty flash the latest nightly and gapps and you should be good

That's so weird. When I was on AICP 5.0, I didn't have to do that. I had to flash the rom, gapps, boot the first time, boot into recovery and then flash the APN fix. I tried that with the 5.1 and didn't work, so tried your method and it works. I'll check LTE tomorrow since there's none where I live.. 3g works fine. Now, if some modules I use on xposed would stop boot looping on me, lol..

Edit: When I installed AICP 5.1 yesterday, it shown 3G in my area and today that changed to LTE...funky as I never had that in my area. Anyway, I checked LTE areas that I know Fresno has and confirm LTE works..really loving this ROM. I don't think I'll go back to TouchWiz.

Aicp had a system update not sure what's in it yet
Its a nightly. It will keep getting updates every couple days. If you like nightly builds and staying on the edge, go for it. If you're happy with everything just ignore it. Remember a nightly can be broken and bootloop, so always do a backup before flashing a nightly. It can break any number of things or improve them all, don't know till you flash. This goes for all Roms that have nightly builds. They merge all the latest approved commits, sync with cm ( or whatever ROM its based on, ie; aosp) and build it. They usually don't test them first. So use your judgement on whether to flash latest nightly on any ROM.

http://galaxys3root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s3-roms/cm12-1-rom-for-galaxy-s3-android-5-1-1official/ here's probably the same official build as posted before but also has a few other carriers
Bro, the only place you should download official cm is from cyanogenmod.org
I checked that "site" you linked. Downloaded the ROM and gapps and none of the md5 sums match their downloads. I have very stable 100Mbps internet. I downloaded several times and every time got the same md5, which did not match the one they posted. This is how thorough I usually am before linking anything to fellow users/members. That way ppl trust my links, and know they're not getting malware. Not saying this site has anything like that. Md5 could be a typo. But not a good sign.
Only get official cm from here.
Unofficial builds pop up everywhere, and those are fine too. Just make sure you get them from a reputable source (like XDA).
But for official builds, no reason to get them from anywhere but cm itself.
