My whole career has been based on following directions found on some random forum.

The start of my career was based on following directions on some forum until "Never mind, fixed it!" half the time.

In my experience, CM directions in general are incomplete. Not that steps are (always) missing or the like, but sometimes they'll use an acronym or vague instruction that is simply a full-stop to someone that is new to it and just wants to try it.

Android mods like this are great ideas, but this and the other super popular mods could really use a person that takes the role of technical or documentation editor.

On the other hand, you're asking for advice on a random forum :)

d2vz2 (Verizon GS3) is fully supported. However, 3G data has issues dropping, until a TouchWiz JB RIL source is released.

Yeah, that's a real shame. Well, at some point I'll actually be able to buy my N4 and I won't have to worry about this stuff any more.
