Salam,
I have a Galaxy S3 GT I9300 and I've successfully rooted the device and installed a custom recovery...whenever I flash a custom ROM which is not based on stock e.g Cyanogen,LiquidSmooth,Ressurection Remix...my phone does not detect my sim.
Is there any fix to this?

That could be because baseband gets screwed in the process. (take a backup of your EFS Partition, to preserve your IMEI).

I can only think of one thing, and that is "Baseband needs repairing". But i might be wrong. Best way to check? Well ... see if there is a IMEI (or a correct one; not the 0049xxx something) in Settings > About. If there isn't, then its what i have mentioned before.

Do I need to flash any specific Kernel or Baseband version if my SIM does not work after flashing this?

Same error...No network...The Wifi bluetooth work fine but the SIM does not
The contacts in the sim show up but the IMEI is NULL the baseband version is unknown.

Update: I did the whole process again and found that when I rooted in the stock using CF Auto Root, I got no IMEI and No baseband...

If the IMEI is null. You won't be able to use GSM at all. Did you backup ES parition? If you did. Does it have nv_data.bin in it? It has your IMEI/Baseband Info.

I fixed the NULL IMEI problem...Somehow the TWRP recovery was messing with the EFS partition...I installed Philz recovery and got back the IMEI and everything...but the problem still remains...if I flash the Temasek CM 12 or any other rom not based on official stock...I get no IMEI and No Network

If you got your IMEI back and Network still isn't available Even in stock. I'm afraid but it might be a hardware related 'ISSUE'.

Or try this Tutorial if you're on stock XXUGMK6 firmware. http://www.androidveterans.com/solve-registered-network-galaxy-s3-i9300-issue-restore-imei/

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
