Convert Korean Galaxy S3 SHV-E210S to International GT-I9300

It was hard to find a working ROM for Galaxy S3 SHV-E210S. I tried to flash a custom ROM on one of my friend’s Korean S3 following a thread on XDA. I ran into serious signal drop problems with that ROM. There was absolutely no solution for that problem. Even though the developer knew about the issue, He/She posted it on XDA anyway ruining hundreds of SHV-E210S’s out there.

In search for a solution I found a better ROM that gives you beauty of Galaxy S5 on your S3. Flashing this ROM on your SHV-E210S won’t just convert it to the international version, but it’ll also turn your SHV-E210S into a Galaxy S5. Following are few screenshots of the interface.
