Please try and see

no data roaming option
i could not find data roaming option anywhere in the settings

yes, exactly. no data roaming option, primarily coz of which i had to flash stock ROM again on my a18.
Some issues with this ROM -
Many problems in the sim management area. firstly, phone needs to be multiple times rebooted and/or sim remove-inserted before it can recognise sim 1 and 2 and differentiate between them. also, sometimes the network icon shows no sim at all while operator name shows.
keyboard quality has highly deteriorated.
permissions manager consistently crashes - as a result of which some apps cannot run.
no option for data roaming and using roaming data is purely on trial and error basis. it worked for me 1 out of 15 times.
does have some amazing options though like rotation lock, volume rocker as unlock button and similar options.
due to these issues i have reverted back to stock rom after using this for a couple of weeks.
thanks.

Anyone got any recommendations for a good 3G Hotspot app? Don't care if it requires the tethering plan from the carrier or not, since work pays for it anyway.
Any clue if this one has the low incall volume that the other aosp Roms seem to all have? I love a nice clean gb that has been the only thing holding me back from making them my dd

The WiFi Tether app listed there works for me once I apply the settings listed in the OP. I'm on unbloated gingersense though, you may not need those settings for it to work. I'd try it with the default settings first (those worked for me when I ran CM7) and tweak from there. You may have play around with it a bit.

The stock rom lies .. or rather smudges the truth a little by showing a 4g (or H) even when your not really on that band. If your data speeds have not changed then I'd not worry about it.

That's an ATT port, why dont you flash a ROM made for our phone? Darkside or Infamous are two reliable TW ROMS. AOKP or CM9 are two stable AOSP ROMS.

[MODS] Do any of these exist yet for the Note 2?

I would love to find these mods (preferably in a flashable zip) either in a ROM or that I can do myself.
1. Force roam (roam control doesnt even work)
2. 1X/3G mod (I know the ultralight ROM has this but it appears to be the only one right now that lists it)
3. Deactivate security admistrator permissions for exchange email account
Coming from an EVO LTE and previous HTC devices, I miss these mods dearly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

By default Sprint has configured the signal notification to display "3G" even if you are in 1X RTT mode. Developers create a modification to add back the 1X symbol in the notification bar that will show when you are connected to true 3G EVDO or 1X.

awww. i noticed that. i thought it was a bug because i'm running the sprint os on my uscc note 2. thought the way i fixed it killed that. now i know! i'd contact the dev who has that feature in his rom and ask how he did it. i would very much like to know!
So I looked into the 1X/3G mod and I figured it out. I packaged it up and it's flashable. Works on any LK8 ROM.

I would like to see the the mod that when you hold the back button it completely shuts down that current app you are on. That was one of the best mods I had on my old evo.

What I have noticed with the Sprint ROMs on my phone is the 1X/3G handoff isn't really working so much. If 1X is available and there's no 3G is shows. If you go from 3G service to poor 3G it won't handoff to 1X like it normally should. Not sure if that's a bug between the OS and my radio or just the OS since I'm again running this on my US Cellular Note 2. But in the end if does show 1X with that mod. Just need a fix for the 1X/3G handoff.
I fixed up mine a while back and see it on 1x at various times. I assume your fix was just flipping the min3G boolean in the system ui apk.

Does anyone know if a Dev has found out how to force roam the note 2 yet?

I have been using the global CM10 from November. I try others and keep going back to it. actually just restored to it today, as I realized the new batch of !0.1 does not support wifi tether. Would that be true of this as well? I needs my Barnacle.

Just spent a week in London with this ROM. It worked perfectly for me with a Pay-as-you-go Vodafone SIM.
The only issue I had was with Vodafone. Their online system does not take US credit cards to pay for SIM plans, so I had to buy a voucher at a Vodafone store (credit card accepted for this type of transaction) and then apply the voucher to a SIM plan.
Nice ROM, thanks for the GSM add.

Once I set it to lte mode in the dialer it switches to lte instantly but once I reboot it reverts back to what it was set to previously. As long as I don't reboot I'm good though.

Switch it to CDMA in mobile networks I'm settings then go to dialer and put it in LTET/CDMA auto(PRL). You might have to toggle airplane mode for data to reconnect after switching
