I've always wanted a Google phone and my shift sux lately. I just bought a sprint nexus from amazon and ill see it in 2 days. I was hoping someone could tell me my root options as ill wanna do that right away. What's the preferred rom on this phone? Cm9?
Any other tips or comments? Pretty good phone overall??? Thanks! ! I'm siked

I heard that stock Jelly Bean is pretty good.

search the forums for the 100 other threads asking the same question you're asking... or just simply browse through the forums and look for what you like.
cyanogenmod9 is a good choice

Why tie yourself down for two years to Sprint? Should have gotten the GSM version. Cheap and carrier free.

please go in a dark room when you have the phone, slide down the brightness to lowest and see if you get any strange grainy stuff on the screen (mostly on white and grey color background)

JB sounds good to me, until some custom JB roms' come out. I'm guessing when I get my device I should refer to this thread eh

I'm getting my Galaxy Nexus tomorrow. It will be my first Nexus and a dualcore device. But lack of MICROSD will make me keep my i9000 as a Hackitouch lol.

I don't see what is unfamiliar about GSM. You get choice of whichever network you want in any country. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA so obviously a GSM Nexus wouldn't work on them.

I think it's a lot more fun to do stuff manually, and you actually know and control exactly what processes go on rather than just pressing a button and seeing the outcome...

except that you are mistaken. My old phone was an LG G2X and both CM7 and CM9 have WiFi Calling working on that phone's releases.
What exactly is needed to get it working? Can you just copy the APK and associated files from a stock rom and paste them into a CM9 or is there some underlying system-level programming that has to be done as well?

It is not in the cm9 d2tmo 7/27 nightly.
Cm9 least brings back the 2g/3g toggle so battery life is better than stock without wifi calling in 2g only mode.
Fyi the nightlies are stable... only issues for me are with camera

I haven't bothered to look through the sgs3 source, but on my old t-959 vibrant, wifi calling also required support compiled into the kernel (KINETEO_GAN or something like that) so it's likely that we'll need the source and means to do the same for the sgs3 before wifi calling is even a possibility on cm10.
And hey, maybe that support is already in the source, like I said, I haven't bothered to download it and check.

Since Tytung has made GB and ICS versions that work on AOSP / CM9, maybe he could help us?
Here is his thread with versions of WiFi Calling that I know work on HTC HD2, but I think they work on all T-Mo GB/ICS devices.

WiFi calling can be set up on any ROM. Not T-Mobile WiFi calling, but free WiFi calling nonetheless. There are plenty if tutorials floating around.
And it will never be built into official CM source.

I just reflashed my old Desire Z with the official CM7.2 downloaded from RomManager, and it came with the TMo WiFi calling built in. I'm very interested in this. My office is a cellular black hole. I need to be able to make WiFi calls with my TMo number. I don't care about the other free WiFi calling apps. I hope CM will eventually support this, or someone comes out with a patch.
BTW, the CM team is amazing. I'm not complaining about them.

Anyone care to explain

My guess would be that ATT, T-Mobile, and VZW all use 1700/2100 MHz bands for LTE while Sprint uses different bands. That's just a guess, so I could be wrong.

Flashed a verizon tw based rom or two as well. Those tend to require a change two the build.prop but still am able to use their kernel just fine. The tw ones never run this good tho

Port paranoidkang droid to tmobile

I am wondering how the policy works with porting an at&t ROM to T-Mobile as I am currently running this ROM which is a combo of AOpk and Pa but its by far the smoothest rom I have flashed and much more options than PA plus the video volume is loud as hell so since I am new to the xda community I want to know what are the rules of porting this bad a$$ ROM so that all T-Mobile users can use this as a dd do I need permission from thebz1 or I could just post it for you guys I have it all ready but don't want to anything against the policy please fill me in guys

Obviously both of you haven't tried the AT&T ROM on a T999 because it won't even flash in recovery, much less boot up. I know this because I've tried it in multiple stages of development. He was asking about porting another persons work, and XDA's policy. Yes, most AT&T ROMS work on t-mo too (as long as it doesn't contain AT&T modem), but lets not be redundant & state what most people in this forum already know. Thanks for the port bro. It's running like butter!

I'm sorry, maybe I've missed something...If I have, forgive me,
But, the original Dev did not give you permission to port his work over. Have you considered that he may have a reason for it? Perhaps he plans to support multiple devices with it, like many other devs do with their Roms.
That is just a guess, but if something like that were the case, depending on how popular the dev is, and how P.O.'d he gets, you could be making a lot of enemies on here....
Something like this, if you want it that bad, go ahead and port it. But do it for yourself, do not release it.
If you were planning on releasing it regardless of his answer, then you should never have asked.
Sorry man, just trying to help.....

[IDEA] Port international firmware/ROM's to Sprint Note 2?

Considering the similarities between the domestic variants of the Note 2 and their international counterparts, would anyone be willing to test some of the success that the folks over in the AT&T forum have had with porting the international N7100/N7105 firmware/ROM's over to the Sprint Note 2
Check out these two threads over in the AT&T forum and see what you all think:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411
The basic gist of the procedure is to use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash a stock N7100/N7105 firmware, and then flash your carrier specific modem/kernel.
Why would anyone want to do this? Well, for starters, you would benefit from built-in stock-supported tethering, and a few other features that carriers disable (YMMV). But mainly this means that the domestic versions of the Note 2 can benefit from the development of the international versions! So, when the latest version of Android comes out for the rest of the world, we aren't stuck here waiting for our carrier to catch up to everyone else...
So what do you all think? Anyone willing to try?
Clarification: Just so everyone is on the same page here, I want to stress that, while this process is successful on both the AT&T and T-Mobile GN2's, this is VERY dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. I would NOT recommend anyone try this unless you are confident in your abilities to recover from a brick situation.
Again, if you are even REMOTELY interested in trying this out on your own, don't even think about bothering with it unless you absolutely know what you are doing! I take no responsibility for any bricks that come from someone trying this without the proper experience and know-how. You have been warned!

it works on the ATT variant because it and the international are both GSM. We are CDMA, i doubt that it would be as easy. Using verizon ROMs might be a different story though.

See, I'm not so sure. At least this time around, the radio's are pretty much the only major differences, and those can be governed by the kernel and modem.bin, so if anyone's willing to try it, it could be well worth a try!

There has to be, at least, a dev developed tool that will convert 1 notes rom to another. That way a dev can create a rom, then easily spread it to all devices.
I can't imagine making a script or modifying a kitchen to output for the slight differences between phone would be that difficult.

You know, I'm not even a Sprint subscriber. I don't own the Sprint GN2. I have absolutely nothing to gain by sharing an idea with all of you. If you think it's a stupid idea, fine, but there's no reason to be an @$$hole about it either.
Now this could turn out one of two ways.

Should he lie and say your idea is good? would that make you feel better? It won't work. The partitions between the Note variants are different. It not the same as the S3's.

Either you're right, and it was a stupid idea, for not working on CDMA GN2's, but at least we tried and now we know for sure -OR- my idea works, maybe with a little finagling, but still possible, and now (with some help) I've just opened up the door for domestic users to take advantage of the development being done around the world; something you've rarely, if ever, been able to do... You're welcome.
So yeah, don't be an @$$hole.

Ask anyone that has ever flashed a rom from a different carrier how it worked out for them... Only result I have ever heard of is brick. So forgive me for not kissing your ass because of your stupid idea. The people that are capable of porting roms have either already thought of it and it's not that easy, or its out of the realm of possibility at this point. So all your doing is putting useless thoughts into the heads of people who won't know any better and end up effing their phones. So go suck a boner

geez enough guys. plenty of useful stuff has been pulled from the multiple variants. thinking outside the box is how we get what we have and grow the community and our devices.
it can't (or would be difficult to) do it
no reason to rip each other apart over it.

This is posible but is not like flashing att rom and putting sprint modem. You got to configure the rom to make it cdma, I remember back in the htc evo days they made t mobile my touch compatible and others htc European with sense 2.1 compatible, only issue was no 4G
