so i went to the i9505 forums to find a good aosp rom and found probam. tried to flash and it failed because it checks what phone i have and will not flash if you have jfltetmo, but will flash on pretty much any other s4 variant. I asked in the roms thread why that is and was pretty much ignored. Though i was told that most i9505 aosp roms are like this.
Im just wondering why this is? our hardware is basically the same. Is it for our own good? or has our varient been forgotten about

i've got no problemo's with the aosp roms, the only thing i ran into was the *%#@# sim unlock bug... try to delete the model check in the updater script...

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)

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

Hello guys! So I just had a quick question about the t0ltetmo ROMs from CyanogenMod. I asked on their Facebook page but some jack off that "works for CyanogenMod" was just rude as hell, and called me stupid. So does anyone know if CyanogenMod unified the t0lte ROM and is safe for flashing on other variants? The t0ltetmo, t0lteatt etc. Thanks guys! And if you could, send me a link where they announced that? I saw the post that said they were going to make a unified ROM but they never posted and said it was done. Thanks all!
From my experience if you see t0lte, t0lteatt, t0ltetmo, N7105, it should be fine to install if your device is any of those you just may happen to flash a modem afterward if the ROM includes one and it isn't your device.
In short, it's safe.

Thanks! So even if the ROM wasn't unified, it has no way of bricking my phone real bad? If it doesn't work, it can be restored with a backup? Cuz yea, I have the t-mobile version, and the ROM I'm talking about was made for the international. It MAY be unified, not sure.

I've been flashing all sorts of ROMs under the previously mentioned codenames with no issues. Stay away from other Galaxy Note II codenames though, N7100, i605, l900
Thanks for your help man! Also, which variant do you have?
t0lteatt. Wish I had the t0ltetmo since I'm on T-Mobile and this ATT one won't get LTE some reason
I have a Galaxy S4 jfltetmo, and a few days ago I decided to try and flash a ROM that was meant for S4 jfltexx, just to see if it would work. At first the flash failed, so I flashed TWRP for jfltexx onto my T-Mobile S4, then tried flashing the ROM for jfltexx and it worked! And to my surprise, I haven't noticed any major bugs yet. Has anyone else tried doing this before? If so, are there any known problems or bugs that people have experienced? What are the hardware differences between the 2 variants? Thanks!

Yes....everyones been able to run i9505 (jfltexx) roms for years now. The ROM dev for that ROM you tried didnt have our m919 included in his updater script, thats why it failed until you put a jfltexx recovery on.
Ive been using i9505 twrp v3 since it came out with no issues.
Any ROM bugs you have the i9505 will most likely have as well (look in rom thread).
Only other thing to note is that the m919 never got 5.0.1 so the LTE radio and modem are for 4.4.x and might effect performance/battery life on LP/MM.....hard to say if it does though....I'm using a 4.2.2 BL (MDL) and a 4.4.4 (OK3) modem and havent had any problems with any rom (JB/KK/LP/MM), that didnt already have an issue at the time of flashing.
Happy Flashing
Thanks for the reply and info!
I have found that all SCH-i535 (d2vzw) ROMs run on the SCH-S968C (Straight Talk) without issues. I was wondering if this applied to any other devices? I have a friend with a d2cri, and he wants to install a custom ROM, but we can't find anything really about that device. Can it run d2att ROMs? or d2vzw? Can my "now d2vzw" run d2att roms? or only CDMA ones?

The ROM has to be made for the phone you want to use. D2att phones can't boot d2vzw ROMs and vica versa. There's an exception though if the ROM developer makes the ROM compatible across multiple phones. ROMs made for the international version of the phone are in this category as well.
I am trying using a dualboot tool I just ran into
I don't know why every single d2vzw rom I've tried has worked on mine then... no exceptions? I am about to try dualbooting a d2lte rom or something, whichever I find first... (that isnt lineageOS)
If the phones are similar, then yes ROMs for one will work on the other IF the dev programmed it as such and from what you said looks to be the case since you booted d2vzw ROMs on a straight talk phone. I think straight talk is owned by Verizon anyway.
Ok. How to port to d2cri?

I think a d2att rom will work fine for you. You might have to edit the asserts to get TWRP to flash one, though.
As mentioned above, d2vzw roms have worked on d2att too, but you typically have to follow up by flashing d2gsm ril blobs if you want phone functions to work.
Just never ever flash anything for an i9300 on a d2 variant. The international version is an Exynos chipset and roms for it will wreck the Snapdragon phones.
Hi, i need some advice about this problem, bcz i searched that a lot but i cdnt find anu solution. Any Lineage based roms, like Viperos, Strelka, Ressurection Remix, Aokp rom etc (Any 7.x.x too i guess) doesnt work well on my n7100. Im flashing them and they are booting fine too, But when the screen came on, they says no sim, when i checked about device i dont see any info about modem. But imei is not erasing. Boot loader mj5, modem nd3 (i just changed it mj7 modem but still same) . When i flash stock rom or Hyper rom or any 4.x.x based rom works fine. I cdnt find any solution bcz i tried everything. Anyone can give me an idea about this ? bcz i stuck with 4.4.x roms. Thanks..
Is the phone running the latest by bootloader and modem? Some custom ROMs require a phone that is running the latest version of both.

Yes , found latest ones in here and flashed some time ago.
Did you update the bootloader and modem by flashing the latest stock rom or just the bootloader and modem? Not sure if this would make a difference.

I tried both way. Stock rom and 4.4.x based custom roms works fine. They were working fine with older modem and bootloader too. I tried to flash lineage based custom roms on working stock rom and custom 4.4.x too, w/o wipe. They did same thing, everything works fine just no sim silly right ?
Very strange that the sim is not detected. I don't have a note 2 to try out Lineage.
Did you post your question in the the ROM's thread in the Development Forum? Perhaps someone there could offer some more advice.

Yep its strange, i guess the real problem is those roms doesnt see what modem i have in device, bcz they are not showing that in about device. Thanks anyway, at least you tried to give some ideas
