[Q]Do these custom ROMs affect the global capabilities of the phone?

I'm traveling to Italy tomorrow and just want to make sure that by having rooted and flashed an ASOP ROM on it has not affected its ability to connect to the cell network out there. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

It will depending on the rom you use. I have been using Newt's rom's primarily and i know he has gotten both GSM and CDMA to work on some of his newer versions, you will have to check the changelog to see which ones work though,
Newts newest 3D 2.03 has the world phone capibilities..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231283
But i cant speak for ASOP, you might want to check the log to see if it is listed as working or not.

I haven't tested Global Mode myself but people are reporting SkyRaider Zeus supports it.
I can give a big thumbs-up to the ROM as a whole. I have been running it for a few weeks and haven't hit a snag yet.

Oh Oh, I appreciate the feedback but is not at all what I was hoping for lol...I just posted this question on the ROMs thread but its too late to do anything about it if it does not have it enabled, $#|T!!!! For argument sake I posted it was I traveling but when in reality its a co-worker(a manager) who is traveling to Europe and is he's gonna be pissed if he steps off that plane and has no service...I'll just try and blame it on the network out there i guess if worse comes to worse lol...thanks again!

Best to go with SkyRaider Zeus. Based off the stock shipped ROM, not a port.

Which Aosp rom do you have on your friends phone?
I've read in various places that CM 7 will work globally. Not sure about any of the others though.

TSM's PoolParty

Lmao... Jailbreak the Iphone That would be good.
I suppose there isn't much you can do know, but maybe check the TSM thread, or maybe hit up The Devs here and maybe they can tell you if it's a global rom...

i live abroad and the stock firmware works fine with local GSM carriers
you can just flash rmk Rooted rom which is the original firmware after removing bloatware, works exactly like stock ( no bugs at all )
and if needed he added a flashable zip including all removed app.
if you like sense 3 , in the Forum there a sense 3 Patch . i tested that rom myself with the Patch and its fine
there is many sense 3 Roms that Support Global Mode also. but in my opinion that rmk Rom is the safest ( no bugs at all )

## phone codes
+1 for rmk's stock ROM.
Make sure that the ROM you use will allow access to the ## phone codes.
Or at least put a stock based cleaned ROM on the phone and set it up and do a nandroid of it so if he needs to access those codes, he will have a workaround.
I found that the AOSP ROMs don't allow access to those codes.
So if you need to manually change any data settings you have to use a sense based ROM to make those changes, then flash back to the ROM you want.
The data settings should stay between flashes but I found that even with full wipe and flashing the ROM, then the nandroid, I still got a boatload of FCs.
Good luck ....

Yep, just depends on which ROM you download. Some do, some don't.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

I post this new thread,
to make it way easier to ask your questions here !
Instead of making new threads etc, that goes sometimes whole offtopic, and it doesnt the right subject anymore, like you make a new thread to solve something and then someone knows the answer, but then the most of the peeps, ask in the thread what he created a new question so in my opinion is it kinda useless and its going nowhere, so you can every question you need asking here
Enjoy !!​

with flashtool using fastboot mode.
It loaded and its working fine expect for WIFI is not working. It's showing that it's turning on(greyed out button), i reboted my phone and it's still showing it's turning on. I also flashed MooDeD camera, but i dont think that is the problem.

Nice thread

arc S Jelly Sandwish stock mail app
Noob, first post, yes I've seen the video, yes I've used the search tool.
Now my question, concerning this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836993&page=205
Does the defaul/stock mail app works? I.E. can you refresh the combined inbox?
I'm asking this because a few weeks ago I installed the official 4.0.4, build 4.1.B.0.431, ICS (yes, its the latest Sony is officially providing me to this day) and I had to go back to Gingerbread because I couldn't refresh the combined mail box.
There just wasn't an option to do so, and since on that thread people are complaining about the WCDMA/GSM network bug and they are being told thats an inherited problem from the official ICS I'm wondering if the email suffered the same fate.
And I'm asking here because as a new user I cannot ask directly on that thread and this was the 2nd best place I found, I do apologize in advance if there is a better thread to ask this particular question.

Sooooo, no news yet on my question? ^^^^^^^^
Yikes, well, I guess i can keep posting to get to 10 posts then ask on the other thread.

my arc keep sending message by itself when it reboot.. any solutions?

Flash original .587 kernel with flashtoo, the way i think. I face that things like you. At that time, I simply flash stock kernel with flashtool.

Still needing help with, my original question, does the jelly sandwish have the same problem on the stock email application as the official ICS?
I.e. combined inbox refresh?

Could somebody the post thread link of the tutorial to enable init.d tweaks on locked bl? PLEASE!!!

hi
regarding to the wipe and tick wipe i have probelm
why the options of the wipe are not appear in my PC
i tried to install the flash tool on another PC but i didn't get any thing still no option .
please your advice

There are a few things that bug me after installing CM10 FXP204 on my LT15i.
I don't know if this causes problems if not then I don't really care; My phone status tells me now I'm using an Arc S, (play store tells me I'm using O2 SEMC Xperia Arc S. as well).
Equalizers ain't working. The N7 player doesn't save the equalizer settings, but bass boost works. (Equalizer too as long as I don't leave the menu)
DSP Manager doesn't work at all it seems. I played around with all the settings but couldn't hear any difference.
Also, how do I remove accounts from sync using the HD 2.0.3Rom +mod?

couple questions regarding custom roms

I had a couple question and hopefully you guys can help me out.
I have a gs3 and was looking to install a rom, now do these roms just add features or do they completely replace the default rom? Im I going to be able to do everything I was able to do before the custom rom? Also what does "cm10" or "cm5" mean? Also my phones 4g isnt working, it stays at edge, no mateer if I have full bars. Would a custom rom maybe solve the problem? If I add a custom rom can I revert to stock without side effects?
Thnks

Read and read and Google and Google, or vice versa! And have you rooted and flashed already? If so check your imei and see if it has numbers or just 0 (settings, about phone, status, imei) oh and read some more like the resource guide I created, and Google other things.

Buddy my advice to you is read more! And that's being serious because flashing things is no small matter but to answer you're questions.
Flashing a rom will replace the default.
It will change kernel, build, etc. The only thing that wont change is you're modem.
If you did install a touchwiz rom. You're most likely going to do everything you do plus more but make sure its based of T-Mobile... they tell you on the first post of roms.
Cm10 is cyanogen mod and they make asop roms. They best way to describe the rom is watch a video of the nexus stock rom.. u will get the jist of it.
For you're data make sure you're on a 4g area my friend. If u are then personally check you're data and make sure 4g is enabled. Still wont woek then maybe flashing the newest modem might work but be very very careful! !!!!
If u install cm10, akop stuff like that people recommend to odin back to your stock. Look up odin if you do not know what that means.
Ok I answered all you're questions
But truly watch out. From reading you're questions it sounds like you are new and want to learn which is good but keep reading and reading before you flash anything dude. Treat this like programming class and you're fighting for that A

You are the man.

What is the full model number of your GS3?

Dude you really look like you won't take advantage of all the rooting capabilities maybe it's best if you don't. Have you ever had 4G? It might be your area, tmobile doesn't cover everything. So custom roms most likely won't improve that, so before you do anything call tmobile and see what's up with that because most likely your paying for a service your not getting. If not then a warranty is in place if they cover it in your area, also let us know if you have mess with some settings in network.

Since we are asking questions about custom roms... Let's say I install a custom kernel but I flash different rom after that. Would the custom kernel go untouched or would it change to whatever rom is present on the custom rom?

It changes with whatever rom you flash to my understand, roms comes with their equipped kernels. You should wipe before you move on to next rom

Yes all ROMs come with a kernel otherwise they wouldn't boot.

For some reason incoming calls don't pop up. The data drops down a level like the phone is receiving a call, but the dialer app never pops up to answer the call.

Not sure whether to post here or in development... First of all, thanks... You have done an amazing job in such a short time. I'm really impressed and believe that I can use this rom as my daily driver. You asked what wasn't working... For me, NFC won't turn on, titanium will restore data but not "apps and data" nor just the apps alone. Reinstalling a few apps I got through amazon doesn't work (it only allows me the option of "open" not install or reinstall, and pressing open doesn't do anything). It took awhile after flashing before the phone function seemed stable, but now it's OK. I'm missing some of the features of cm11 (like the larger grid for pattern unlock), but I'm sure those and more will come. Btw, I'm using the pa-gapps 5 alpha. Again thanks, and lmk if you want me to post any other problems here or in your development thread. :thumbup:

it works
So i have no issues with this rom everything you need works besides the home button when the device is locked but other than that its stable data works wifi call text camera etc. Not sure about ncf and doesnt seem like you can put apps on the sd card. Will update if i run into problems happy flashing

Im having a issue with something draining the battery really quickly but nothing is showing up under battery. Any suggestions?

Question: are you planning to keep CM12 for jfltetmo separate from the other versions of the S4, or are you going to have a unified ROM like CM11? The reason I ask is that I prefer TWRP to CWM, but I couldn't use TWRP on the nightlies once they became unified.
Thanks dcd1182.

They are staying separate. S4 and also S3 were all un-unified from each other and will all be separate individual variant based.

Two issues: 1st. For some reason I have no access to my SD card. Is there something I need to do on my end to fix it? 2nd. Is there anyway I can use the home button to wake the device. Other than that it's a pretty perfect rom. Thanks!

Can you dirty flash updates?

Probably not ideal but I dirty flashed 11/24 over 11/22 this morning and barely a hiccup. Only problem I've had thus far is orbot running breaks data on LTE and WiFi but reboot and disable orbot fixed it. That could be completely unrelated honestly and I don't expect anyone would look into it given I did dirty flash. You'll probably get little help from a Dev on a problem knowing you've not done a clean flash is usually my biggest problem.

In 2009 Google sent a cease and disist order to cyanogenmod. Google apps are not legally allowed to be added to aosp based roms. Period. And as a former staff member of Android Forums, your aosp roms posts would of been removed til gapps were removed by mods and would of been educated on why you couldn't do it.

ok but
I see no law saying that as well other people do it as well my roms require them implemented because thats how i coded them as well cyanogen mod is just a open source project and not associated with google because google doesnt approve of it because its in their terms as well since cm is an open source by gpl i believe theirs no laws against editing or redesigning them even on base roms because src is available to grab so i see no act under the law that states it so either way implementing apps in the rom is like installing gapps from another source, it just has them installed so that you dont have to install them yourself so until i see news or a book of laws stating it that its illegal then its not illegal to implement them and as well has to be passed by congrees and othe excustive to become illegal witch i highly doubt, plus my roms are not based off of cyanogenmod, also furthermore if they did say that then they would actullay make it illegal to make custom roms at all if they said that google would even say its piracy even if its from a base rom or custom im not pointing out faxts im pointing out my opinions

Losing all the Baseband and Modem settings after flashing an AOSP ROM.

Good evening everyone. I recently got this phone from the Black Friday deal at Best Buy for 80$ and rooted and did all of that without much problem. I installed the Wicked ROM without any issues, and tested it out but I prefer AOSP. But when I flash Cyanogen or Bliss, I lose all of the mobile data , the baseband, here I include a screenshot. I have flashed a stock ROM once again, activated it again without any problem, but when I try to flash an AOSP ROM again I lose everything. Is there anything I can do about that? I have searched the forums and Google and found no solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you check to make sure that the md5 matched? Anytime I've had that happen either the md5 didn't match, or I needed to use a different kernel. My Goto kernel for AOSP ROMs has been BMS.

Thanks for the tip, tried flashing Cyanogenmod with that kernel and the same thing happens, I lose all of the settings related to the Baseband, Modem and IMEI. I checked the md5 and it matches completely. I have no idea what is happening. For now I settled into the Conquest Singulalirty ROM which provides an ASJOP look but on offical firmware. But still I would like to know how to solve this problem so if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated.

Is your phone the L710T model by any chance? I had the same problem with every rom I tried EXCEPT for Gummy 3.0. For some reason Gummy 3.0 recognizes my baseband/modem but if I try Gummy 4.0 or any other AOSP rom, no baseband.

Flash the file here: http://androidforums.com/threads/mo...apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/#post6516416
It will modify necessary files in the system to allow you to connect. Also, dial ##72786# to reactivate after flashing. That all worked for me on my Virgin S3 running Carbon. Good luck!

The SPH-L710T is what was on sale at BestBuy for $80 (as I found out after running into a similar problem), and it's a pain in the ass. It seems that TW ROMs are the only ones that don't break the radio... and the M10 snapshot of CM11 apparently (except rotation is backwards). I'm looking for a fix as well.
It seems that all of this can be fixed by a custom kernel, but there's no AOSP/CM kernel (that I know of) that fixes both.
I wish I knew something about kernel development...

I will try it out them to see how it goes. In what way did it break the rotation? It does not rotate or is it inaccurate? It is a pain in the ass that we have so many ROMS available but we can't use them. I have been using the Conquest Singularity by Moon Knight. The one that is here in XDA is kinda of outdated but if you Google it you will find his blog with the latest update. He created an AOSP looking ROM but it is TW underneath. That combined with Gravity Box has satisfied me for now, but I hate no being able to flash AOSP ROMS. I know nothing about kernel development, but if someone wants to help with this I can provide anything they need in order to fix this problem with this T version of the phone.
I will try to take the kernel of the M10 and flash it with another ROM to see if the rotation works. I will update as soon as I do that.

Yeah, the radio worked with the M10 snapshot. I was able to get the latest version of ParanoidAndroid to work with the M10 snapshot kernel as well.
When I say rotation is broken I mean when you hold it sideways, it rotates the wrong way, so it's upside down.

Excellent. Thanks for the good news! That doesn't bother me that much, so I will do that with the Bliss ROM that I wanted to install. I will keep investigating and trying things to see if we can fix the rotation issue. I will keep the thread updated.

Semi-Fix for the rotation issue on the M10 kernel.
After checking some apps out, I found one that worked well for the rotation problem using AOSP ROMS on the troublesome SPH-L710T. The app is called Adaptive Rotation Lock and is available for free on the Play Store. What it does is that a little button pops up everytime you rotate your phone, and if you don't click that button the screen will not rotate. So once you put your phone horizontallly, click on the button that pops up to allow the phone to rotate upside-down, then rotate the phone so it is not upside-down anymore, but do not click the button, so it stays in the correct rotation. It is a little cumbersome, but it beats always being upside down while using the phone horizontally! I think this is a good option while we find out how to fix this issue in the kernel.

Greeting kdude63. Thanks to your tips I was able to test many roms and as you settled on Paranoid Android. The only problem I have right now is that intermittently point I lose cell coverage for like 2 minutes, but then I get it back. Does that happen on your phone?
I have also tried many kernels to see if I find another one that works but no go. I am still using the M10 boot.img. Have you found another one that works?
And thanks for helping out with the ODIN tar for this phone! It makes me feel a lot more safe when I am experimenting.

I don't currently use PA or CM as my daily driver, so I don't know. (I don't like dealing with the rotation issues)
I was testing some other kernels earlier, none of them worked before I got careless and accidentally flashed an i9300 kernel, so I can't use my phone for the time being.

Cnexus and several others have posted debrick images and stock ROMS for various versions of the s3. Good luck debricking

Good evening everyone. I recently got this phone from the Black Friday deal at Best Buy for 80$ and rooted and did all of that without much problem. I installed the Wicked ROM without any issues, and tested it out but I prefer AOSP. But when I flash Cyanogen or Bliss, I lose all of the mobile data , the baseband, here I include a screenshot. I have flashed a stock ROM once again, activated it again without any problem, but when I try to flash an AOSP ROM again I lose everything. Is there anything I can do about that? I have searched the forums and Google and found no solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The debrick image for the T model was just barely posted last week in Android Forms....and there is a thread in the questions section here on XDA that has it linked

Yep, I flashed it normally. Using Philz I got the Wicked 8 zip file and a couple of the addons that are available without any problems but since I don't like the Touchwiz UI too much I am currently running Conquest. Maybe try the full Wicked 8 zip? I did not try the barebones, but I can confirm that Wicked 8 works on the T model. It has the rotation issue but a couple of post ago I described how to get around that. Let me know if it works!

i was finally able to flash bare-bones i had to flash the updated kernel i used for Conquest beta 10

I'm glad! At least we can use Touchwiz based ROMs while we can find a way to create a kernel that is completely compatible with the T model. Is your rotation working correctly?

Yes rotation is working and with the next few updates on CM side they will be fully working on the T model cause CM already updated a fix for the T model

I got spooked when the baseband disappeared and rotation was not working. Went back to stock. Of course you also seem to need the special 2.7 twrp in order to mount system. But the price was right.
