AT&T mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 user now can easily install Android 4.2.2 CyanogenMod 10.1 jelly bro custom ROM. This ROM gives you pure android experience just like Google nexus. It’s still under the development, so there may be bugs. This is an AOSP based; it doesn’t include Samsung and AT&T applications. In addition to that it doesn’t have Google’s apps, so you have to use Google apps (Gapps) zip file.
Before starting this installation we have to root and install a custom recovery on Galaxy S3. This post we added all the necessary steps that you need. Like other ROM installation this method also wipes your data. But it does not touch your SD card. This ROM developed by the XDA developer Euroskank.

– After that go to “Advanced>Wipe dalvik-cache>Yes – Wipe cache”.
