Hey XDA!
Is it possible to flash a Verizon GNex (toro) ROM onto a Sprint GNex (toroplus) without breaking too much?
Also, what are the differences between the two ROMs that makes it so hard to port them? I though the only differences were the inclusion of the Sprint profile / PRL update as well as APN and MMS settings... is there a guide on porting ROMs between the phones somewhere?
Thanks!
Most of them are compatible( except the 4.3 ROMs) if you flash this script after ROM, before the gapps. I'm running toros version of Purity right now, have been for two weeks.http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...Ms among Tuna Devices // 4.3 Support for toro
Make sure you read the op.

Thanks for the tool! Kinda odd I didn't see it before.
Can roms, specifically from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1960 be installed on the T-Mobile GN2? If so, are there any modem / radio issues with the latest TMo radio or is there a better N7105 radio that should be used / recommended?
For the most part yes. I'd stick with roms from AT&T version however. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1875
If you see a ROM on AT&T version, and also see it on the t0lte (international LTE), then I'd presume it be safe to install the international lte version.
Personally I've only tested PAC and Rootbox. Anything else on t0lte that you try is all on your own
But generally speaking, as long as the t0lte rom you installed does not include the modem, it's good to go. Just don't go flashing the GT-N7100 ones; only GT-N7105 if you don't want the AT&T roms.
t0lteatt YES
t0lte MAYBE
For kernel, most people would recommend NEAK and you can find that in the GT-N7100 forum.

Thanks, that is what I assumed. I actually have installed the Carbon t0lte rom before (late night, wasn't paying attention) without issue and worked fine, never have installed a t0lteatt rom.
With that said, there seemed to be more dev options on the international variant so I was curious. I saw conflicting answers in a search so figured I'd ask again. If I do take the plunge, I'll report back with the end result.
Forgot to add, I would stay away from the international GT-N7100 touchwiz based roms though as some people say the kernels they use may have issues with US variants.

Agreed. There are hardware differences on the N7100 compared to the N7105 I have read about.
Only plan on using 7105 variants moving forward.
So I was looking on the cm website and I see the t0ltetmo only has cm10 which I think is jb mr2. But the t0lte which is the international version has cm11. So I was under the impression that the t0lte and t0ltetmo and att were basically the same as far as hardware goes. So can I use the t0lte roms on my t0ltetmo phone?

I have had success flashing att and n7105(t0lte) roms. so you should be able to. here is a link to an unofficial cm11 for tmo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565259

thank you for your help. I just flashed the latest AOKP on my mphone and its 4.4.2 and it runs good except I dont get good service on it. Well I mean my data speeds are all messed up. I seem to only be able to get hspa speeds not hspa+ or lte. I am using simple mobile. I dont know if that has anyuthing to do with it or not. Maybee I need to fix something in the build.prop I dont know.
I wonder how AOKP got 4.4.2 when it is based off cm. Maybe they use the internatinal t0lte version as a base.

I doubt the aokp is a port they probably built it from source which doesn't require a base
So I have searched around and so far I have been unable to find a custom ROM that mentions support for TMO's WiFi calling. Are there any such ROMs or am I just SoL?
If there are not any that support it, any suggestions for the best running S3 ROM? I am about to deploy (hence the desire for WiFi calling) and I am still running on an old 4.1.2 Hyperdrive ROM. I'd like to update my ROM to a KitKat based one before I go, but I don't have a lot of time to tinker with it on the offhand chance that it does not install clean. So I am looking for something solid. If the kernel needs to be updated to run a particular ROM, please note that in your replies so that I can find the right one if needed.
S3 Model# SGH-T999 (non LTE)
Baseband Ver. T999UVUEMJ4
Kernel: 3.0.31 - 370274 (I remember this is a custom kernel, but I don't remember who made it, just that it is from 2012)
Build# JZO54K.T999VRBMB1

enewman17 has a rom based on Tmobile code. Its called S3Rx 3.0, and it does have WIFI calling... Works quite well.. Its
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326763
Only ROMs built from stock T-Mobile firmware will have WiFi calling. S3Rx 3.0 is a good choice.

Appreciate the info guys.
Hadn't been over there in quite a while, but the N7105 forums have some sweet ROMs if you're looking for a change that should work fine on our phones...
Currently running "CM Remix" which has everything but the kitchen sink for an AOSP rom, and so far seems very smooth and stable

How can you tell if a certain rom will work on the att variant?

They should all be safe to flash. Same hardware on the internal LTE variant.
The build.prop and APNs may vary slightly, but many of the ROMs in this forum are exactly the same as their international versions anyway

By checking for a modem in the zip as the n7105 modem isn't compatible with AT&T or t-mobile. If modem is in the zip I usually just replace with proper modem for your carrier.

Mine is the ATT variant but unlocked and used in Central America. I'm guessing it will work with any modem?

No since it's AT&T you will need an AT&T modem in the phone as any other modem will cause an unknown baseband.

Got it, thanks!
Still running the ROM I mentioned in the OP, and it has too many features and too few flaws (none!) for me to try any other!
New build made yesterday - gonna try that, though
BTW, didn't have to change anything to get it optimized for the ATT model- even the APNs were all set up (unless maybe I restored settings that I wasn't aware of)...
1st Nov 2014 (ver 3.0.5.0 STABLE Fix)
Kernel : bundled with latest agni kernel ( Boeffla Sound version with new wifi module)
Update SuperSu to ver 2.16
native support to F2FS (no need to flash any convertor, native support F2FS partition of System. Internal data and Cache partition)
Fixed ART mode * (1 st Nov 2014)

Looks like a great rom!. I'm assuming this rom is ok to flash for any LTE variant (Bell) since it doesn't include a modem?

Should be fine! Just back up as you always would with TWRP and make sure you backup the modem as well. That way you'll always have one backed up if you need it just in case...
Yep, as long a modem isn't included in the zip (which it *typically* isn't in the case of AOSP based roms), you're good to go.
I personally don't even flash t0lteatt roms when they're available and instead use their t0lte counterparts, as the t0lte versions are sometimes more likely to be updated more often (and in some cases the t0lteatt device tree has been abandoned entirely!)
And if anyone's wanting to build a rom from source, while we're on the topic of AOSP roms, the t0lte tree is the way to go as far as the Galaxy Note 2 LTE models are concerned.

What reminded me to check the international forum was when I went to deactivate my old phones in Google Play Music, I noticed most of them were listed as an N7105- and all of the ROMs were downloaded from this forum anyway...
I was wondering about trying Roms from that forum too. I kept seeing posts where someone said something about a DN4 Rom. So I looked it up and downloaded..........only to find that it is not one of the Roms that works on our phone.......as of yet. It did flash and start up, but before I could make it past the welcome screen, I got a bunch of pop-ups about various items "quit working." And they kept coming back. And then I had the unknown baseband with no signal.................basically it just doesn't work. Damn shame too, cause it looked so nice. But this did make me look at the other Roms and I will be trying a few of them. I must say though, DN4 had my mouth watering for the GN4 experience on my 2.

You can only flash roms from the n7105 section. The roms in the development and original development sections won't work
