[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...

Nitsuj's full rom doesn't affect the global radio. I had the same concern because im also leaving the country in a few weeks.

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

[ROM] Realflex(flexreaper)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/zdq9uo
Working:About everything
Broken:Camera works for some people.
Tweaks:What comes with flexreaper, nothing special added in this version. Next version will have build.prop tweaks and hopefully working camera.
If anyone wants to help with development of roms for the iconia a100 just PM me.

Yesterday, I downloaded both Tabooyay and flexreaper from posts found in the Rom Thread in the General section.
Just curious if the two you have posted here in Development are the same or if you have made modifications within the last 24 hours?
I haven't flashed either yet so I'm just curious. Perhaps you could give each a version number or some other identifier.
The MD5's I get are:
Taboonay_A100.zip >> d16775ad627af91e43045d5a686a976a
Flexreaper_A100.zip >> 6b463663fc008ac2cb7a802c960e195b
MD5's are your friend. First thing to tell people to check if they experience issues.

Thanks guys, broken camera is front or back or both? i am using the A500 version of Flex and the front camera is upside down even during chat and Wifi dies after inactivity (already turned it in settings to not do it)

I will try to push a full compatible build for the a100 based on the a100 ICS leak.
Give me some time and I need testers as I don't have a a100.

I am very much looking forward to your A100 release. I'm running Flexreaper now using Zeronulls boot.img. If you need me to test anything, I am willing to do so.

The stock boot.img is usable. You may just need to re-root the rom when you flash it.

Will upload first release today
EDIT
To the OP , credit to the original rom builder would be great.
I could care less you changing build.prop , but I do care not being recognized.
It takes many hours to build a good custom rom and to mod.
Thanks , civ.

No problem but understand it is all free and for the community so respect is needed.
So again please in your OP you need to refer to the base of the rom , it is even a XDA rule to point to the source.
Thanks.

as for tabooyay not care "[MOD] 2 MicroSD Internal Memory Swap".
otherwise very good ROM prometeur.
good job thanks

Thread closed.
OP was asked to give credit, none was given. If you make a new thread, do so ONLY with giving full credit as to the source of the code..

ROM Request?? Tablet/Hybrid

OK so, I was poking around the EVO 4G forum (I like to check in on my old flashing buddies every once in a while) and seen this ROM that I thought was sick! Its a tablet/phone crossover type thing with CM9.
CM9 Tablet/Hybrid
I would so love anyone that can port this to the Epic 4G Touch!!! I will confess my love to you! LOL.

WHAT?! I LOVE YOU MAN!!! Thanks so much!!!!

So.. is there just not enough interest in keeping a tabUI/hybrid rom current??
When AoKPm5 fell off the dev table, I was a little bummed, then PA was ported, and I felt like there was some promissing hope that we would be able to keep the development cruising along for the tabUI/hybrids..
Well.. maybe its just a matter of having the source for the ICS kernel for the E4GT, but with the "source" already floating around.. I'm thinking that the kernel source wasn't the hybrid answer.. I hope I am wrong here though..
Maybe if we have enough voice to say the hybrid roms are still wanted, the development will continue.. :/

Hey Chris, I've been avoiding TWRP cause I thought it had a more "heavy" process to replace your recovery from TWRP. Is all that is needed to restore back to a backup with agat or cwr recoveries would be to just go back to stock first with a one-click or something? Or is that even needed?
This is the only thing keeping me from testing anything with TWRP.

i dont understand the question? if you flash a rom with twrp you will have twrp, if you flash one with cwm you will have cwm.. its no different, just a different gui.. you dont have to go back to stock. or anything like that

I just thought I had read before that the only way to not run into issues after using TWRP was to go back to stock and then reinstall rom or backup after getting back to stock first.
If you don't have to do that and just factory reset is done from within FF18 (TWRP, CWR or Agats), then my concerns were mute at this point and I should have no problems going back and forth.
I am assuming that you are saying the latter is correct.
Edit: so if the latter is true, then I can flash kernels with different recoveries and they will overwrite eachother no problem? Does mobile Odin work the same if you have TWRP recovery?
The onther thing is that I didn't realize is that you helped or built TWRP, if that is the case, I would feel very comfortable using it, and I also didnt realize you built an FF18/CWR kernel.. I will have to grab that too..

yes i helped Dees_troy with twrp for this device, and I continue to help work on it, I consider it to be a great recovery...
I include it in my AOKP builds.. it includes safety features implemented and designed by Dees_troy and myself..
Those same safety features have been implemented in CM9 alpha6 and recent nightlies as well, so they are also safe.. which means those CWM versions are safe.
Any recovery made by me, Dees_troy, or TeamEpic since the release of TWRP would be considered safe..

IMHO I don't find Tablet UI on a phone useful or desirable, why a tablet UI on a small screen when you can enjoy it at its fullest on a Tablet. Just my opinion no pun intended to anyone. There is a reason to it not being enabled on a phone trust me.

I know some do not like it, but I personally think it looks better smaller, and compact. I do not find it difficult to read as some have described. There are many was to increase font size and still use the compact UI. I don't need to increase however as I like the size it is .. and even though most of the development for that mod has slowed, some roms still have it incorporated to use if desired. I myself have an excellent backup of AoKPm5 with the modded system apps so that everything works perfect.. but its stuck with FF02 as the latest kernel, I haven't tried the latest AoKP kernels with it yet.. maybe m5 will still work with TI, dees_troy & Chris's kernel but I'm not sure..
But anyways, my point is as with most every mod and customization we have for this device, ppl use what they like cause of personal preference and what they like.
You are more that free to not like the tUI mod, but there are still some that like it..

It's cool bro. You can ask any questions you want. Don't hesitate. I might not be able to answer them all, but I can help you find an answer. As for finding out which phone model you have, go to settings, then about phone. Look at the model number. If it says PC36100 you have the Evo 4G, otherwise known as the OG. If it's anything else besides PC36100, you'll have to google it to find out what kind of phone you have.

The og (HTC evo 4g, aka supersonic) does have a ffc but it only has drivers for Gingerbread Roms. You have flashed roms from this forum I have tried helping you with some of your mms issues. If you had the lte than your phone would most likely be in sad shape. Flashing things not designed for your phone can cause big issues even brick it ( phone will never work again). As some users have found out the hard way already.
So plainly put you have an Og. Now this should have been the first question you asked before flashing anything.
Also I am working on a couple cricket roms for all the users on here. The first set will be sense based sense 1.0, 3.0, and 3.5. All with confirmed working mms and great battery life. I am also working on cm7, ics, and jelly bean.

Thank you again for your help gentlemen. I figured I had the OG but was starting to wonder when I read incorrect info saying the OG didn't have a ffc. I'm becoming more proficant in flashing roms and terms and what to look for in a Rom. A sense cricket Rom would thrill me as editing apns is not working. The only thing I've had work was a mazwoz everything cricket Rom, however as stated before the roms battery usage was 1% a minute, no Bluetooth capability, (which id rather over a ffc) .
With the newest recovery options, (especially including the usb toggle feature) bricking seems like it'd be impossible .

You know, soul hacker posted the Cricket mms apk that you can manually download and install yourself..... Its all in the same thread as Mazwoz Cricket ROM......

forgive me if I sound stupid, but 4.2 or 4.1 for what? I downloaded the apk in that ROM post of 4.2 copied it over to system apps, the permissions were already set how they should be rebooted and it would force close when I would try and open it .I even used Titanium Backup to try and restore it over it wouldn't restore, and tried using package installer and it would say parsing error or something like that. I'm currently running the digital karma rom v9.

Dirty Unicorns is 4.2.2 which is what you will need (I used the 4.2 mms apk on Dirty Unicorns too) and what was the problem with it not loading?

It gave an error upon flashing. Don't recall the exsact error but it didn't even start the installation process ill let you know when I get home a little later. But I made sure to do several wipes on everything before flashing.

Deleted.

I installed DU this morning with no issues whatsoever. Might want to check and make sure you don't have a bad download, and try again.

Is there a ffc fix for this Rom? other roms I've seen got this working.

No FFC for any jellybean or ICS ROMs. Only gingerbread (2.3.5) ROMs will have FFC.

Also you will want to use an amon Ra style recovery. Cwm and twrp are not very good options for this phone. Diablo has a few themed versions you might like.
Here os the link.

So after 2 weeks of trying to figure out MMS much thanks to wambo bomb and the rest of you in this thread for your patience with this newb I got MMS working on the fast and stable, (with Bluetooth) dirty unicorn ROM.(battery is bad which is why its been draining so quickly with other ROMs) I shoulda known the MMS 4.2 stood for androids version. For some weird reason I was thinking it was the mms's version. I find it interesting older versions of android have the FFC working though but not newer ones. Oh well I'd much much rather have MMS than FFC. If I had money to donate to you and the others I definatly would I'm sorry I don't though. As stated before I'm disabled and can't get on disability yet. If I do get on it I'll be happy to donate to all of you for your help. Many thanks again for educating me so I can help others in the future.

Is there a flashable OTA zip anywhere?

I just wanted to find out if there was a flashable zip for the recent OTA that came out a week or two ago?
If not, what is my option to upgrade and get rooted and also having a functioning wifi tether (hacked /rooted, etc like Autoprimes mod or wifi tether router app?) From my understanding, the OTA borked the tethering but I use it all the time at work. I see Autoprime said he has a test version out for donors and hopefully in a week or so he might have an update to his tethering mod.
Thank you,

It's doubtful that anybody will publish a rooted OTA because it takes a lot of work. To upgrade, your best bet is to download the full upgraded and rooted stock ROM available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/rom-zonerom-07-24-14-deodex-t2827304
Note that there are several ROMS on that page ... but you can stick with the stock one and dirty-flash. Personally, I made the move to ZoneROM and I'm pretty happy for it.
Remember to thank @zone23 for his/her hard work.
...Also tethering is indeed borked.

First of all, thanks for the link because that helped me a lot. But I am confused by your first sentence. Isn't the rom in that link exactly what we need? Is it different because the OTA is just a upgrade from a small file while the link has the full rom? And since I am asking so many questions, will that rom work good just dirty flashed in twrp, not changing anything else?

Yeah, it's not a small OTA, it's the whole ROM. But you can upgrade with it, nonetheless. So yes, it's what you need.
There have been varying reports on the new (m) ROM. My personal experience is excellent with the latest ZoneROM. My screen is fixed (no over sharpening), my battery life is decent, etc. The only issue I've had is tethering and Prime Tether should be out soon (hopefully). In the meantime, other people have had success with one of the tethering apps in the play store.
As always, backup first, then just try it out. If you don't like it, just restore.
Good luck!

Thank you, that was easy to do. I did put a fresh battery in last night and I woke to %10 battery so something is wrong but hopefully I can find the culprit.

Ouch.

So, if I use the stock rooted to upgrade, it is indeed already rooted? Do I need to do anything else once I flash to root?
Thank you,

There should not be anything else you need to do except reapply any customizations you had. I set my dpi back to 540 and re-enabled my Xposed modules.
... Oh wait... There's a new radio that came out with the m rom. I haven't applied it yet myself, but you may want to hunt it down and flash that as well.
I heard it was available somewhere in the zonerom thread. Again, I just haven't looked, personally.

since we are talking about dirty flash? that means since i have stock rom can i flash zonerom on top without losing any data, or as in any rom we need to factory reset...
