My apologies for being somewhat lazy, but I am not eligible for an upgrade for awhile and mainly hang around the VZW Nexus forums. I am doing some quick research for a friend.
Obviously, when VZW released the SG III, it was locked down tight, but it was much cheaper than paying full retail for the Developer's editon.
Is it correct now that developers have been able to Root the phone and Unlock the Bootloader, basically making the advantages of a Developer's edition moot?
2) Assuming the above is true, has a custom recovery image for the Verizon SGIII been released to easily revert back to stock?
3) Can the native hotspot feature be enabled via a 3rd party toggle like Extended controls, if he doesn't want to install a custom rom?
4) Has the developer community been pretty friendly at showing the SGIII some love?
