You can only flash roms that are specifically made for our device on the sprint Note 2 forums. You can, however, flash themes from the international Note 2 forums. Just be sure to read the threads just in case any theme happens to be International model specific (most aren't).

you can flash their stuff as well if done properly! i assume you're not experienced enough of doing so. but most mods/themes are compatible across all variants of the phone.
i've tested a lot of their themes and they work on Sprint and USCC stock ROMs. so you're safe to flash those things.
here's an example of themes/mods that are compatible. just backup before flashing. all have been tested personally.

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
Hit thanks if I helped

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.

Im new and have a few questions!!

First I want to say hello! I just got my sg3 lastnite.. Was with htc for a while and now im done with them! I wanted to kno can we flash that senergy rom for verizon? Also wanted to kno what is the latest firmwear/ radio cause I want to kno if im up to date.. and I thought there was a Ziggy kernel for sprint is that true? I was on his site and coulndt find a download.. Thanks!
If the synergy rom says its multicarrier, then yes you can flash it...otherwise expect some things related to signal to not work. As for the latest baseband, its MB1
You can't flash (and expect a fully working ROM) a Verizon ROM, however I know there is one that is multi-carrier and uses aroma to install the correct version to by our device. It would be wise to read the op, and follow directions. If it doesn't say for sprint then I'd wager its not for ours. Never flash international ROMs.
Never flash international ROMs.
As for Ziggy, no idea.
MB1 I believe is the newest baseband. MB anyway, I'm too lazy to look.
Go to the dev forums and read, read, read. Don't mean that as a smartassed answer. When I get a new device I always spend days/weeks reading different threads. Not just the op but replies as well. XDA has a wealth of knowledge, you have to be willing to be patient and drink it all in.
/sermon
BTW, don't flash international roms .

Edit; was way slow to reply lol
You may want to try different modems. Some work in areas better than others. For example, for me MA works better than MB does. Was like that with my S2.
Best to keep them on your SD card and try them all with Speed Test from the market.
Others a thread in development with the different modems.

Here is where Ziggy's kernel is. Great kernel developer.
I'd give h a shot but I'm too happy with the kernel I have. I seem to remember the name. Maybe from evo 3D? Was Viper using his kernels? Been awhile since I had that god awful device active. Donated it to a dev that skipped out after getting it. Have another with a bad digitizer sitting on a shelf. Can't believe I swapped a Nexus S for that thing.
Hey guys im getting a samsung softwear update and its 81.5 mb.. Do i not download it.. Will it mess root up??
If you have custom recovery it will just fail on install. Shouldn't hurt anything.

He made quite a few kernels. You can look here. I used his kernel on my Evo 4G. And he made one just for Virus and his rom on the evo.

Don't install it. Instead, edit your build.prop, then reboot into recovery and clear cache, reboot and it should be gone, check out my stick thread in general (link in my sig) for how to do it, latest build is MB1

What TW ROM should I install and NOT mess up the EFS?

Hi guys.
The title pretty much says it all.
I currently have the XXDME4 modem installed (went to this from XXDLJ2 and... I have no idea what modem I was using prior to that) and am using Slim Bean ROM. But, I want to give a TouchWiz ROM a try, to test something sound related (5 minutes), then be done with it and return to AOSP based ROMs and such. With all this modem/EFS talk... I am very confused. Don't know what modem/ROM base I am safe to go to now...
So. What TouchWiz ROM should I install and be free of any EFS ****ed up things?
Thanks in advance!
If u r happy with this modem, install a rom like assasin which gives you option whether to keep the old modem and kernal or to change it. If you dont change the modem, efs wont be messed up I fee

I know that, but... I wanna do it the easy way, without having to backup & all...
Anyway, guess I'm gonna have to do that.
One q. Now, as I am on XXDME4, if I ever switch to another modem which changes EFS... if I revert back to XXDME4, will it be okay?
(still got a lot to read on this thing, that's why I'm asking for now)

Ya. If you lose your EFS anytime at all, Revert back to XXDME4 and restore this image.
There is no other easy ways than this. This would just take seconds and you're already rooted.
As mentioned by people before, you're fine as long as the ROMs you're flashing doesn't mess up with modem.

That's easy, download any rom, enter the archive with some Zip tool and replace the modem part with your current one. Or if you feel up to it, edit installation script to not flash modem. You can do the same with kernel so it is not flashed at all. That way you can use any rom without fear
Most roms are in fact compatible with wide variety of kernels / modems (even if some are included in installation - they are tested by developer to be fully compatible) so you should have no problems. For your information you can currently use all roms that are from ME6, MF2 and MG1 family - as Adam's kernel author mentioned, the compatibility problem lies in changed kernel ramdisk and he uses old one so you can flash his kernel over any TW rom without fear of breaking EFS.

So anything before ME1 is really safe. Best would be to flash stock for example XXDMC2 and on that flash any new custom rom with modem and kernel flashing disabled.

But hang on a second. What if I flash a new modem? I do not intend to stick to TW - I just wanna test something sound related cause NO ONE ELSE WOULD then go back to Slim/CM etc.
If I use the very latest modem (whichever that may be) and use them on CM... Would there be a problem?

Not from CM side CM mostly does not care what version of modem you have, and it's not the modem that is creating all those problems, but newer kernels (ME6 and newer). So don't touch the modem at all or flash it if you want. But don't flash newer kernel ME6, MF1 or MG1. Flash Perseus 36.3 kernel, do it immediately after flashing rom, without restarting recovery, because once you run new kernel even one time you have a problem.

Blackbox

The Blackbox rom over in i9505 is functional for us, in every way but MMS and GPS from what i gather. Just a heads up.
its a hybrid AOSP and Touchwiz rom, firmware blended. Working pretty well so far, nice and super fast.
Anyonw know how to fix MMS and GPS? like is there something specific that needs to be done if we jack a rom from the I9505 section? No CSC and no Modem in the rom.

[Q] Advise on Rom choice

Hey People,
Looking for advise on a Rom for the Note II - I am a new Note II owner,
I have SLIMFAST 4.4 v-4 on it now...
I have not looked around enough to know what ROM is the most complete - I want KitKat.. but I want most complete..
I really would like to put one rom on, and not touch for the next long while if possible.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.
