    The ROMs for the HTC Evo V for Virgin Mobile had this which allowed better network support and the removal of throttling so no soft data caps. I don't know if it can be done on the S3 or not but if anyone knows how can they post a guide or something? Thanks in advance :)

    So what is Beast Mode? How does it work? I googled it and I get different things so if someone could explain it to me that'd be great. Also I think it has something to do with a kernel so if someone knows a "Beast Mode Kernel" for our phones that they could link that'd be amazing. :D
