Here's the deal. I have one of the gnex's that had the bad 4g radio and couldn't stay connected to the network logger than 10 minutes. The jb update finally came and fixed. Scared to flash custom Rom in fear old problem might return. Has anyone had one the previously faulty phone and has since flashed a custom Rom with success?

You have nothing to lose but some time if you flash something and don't like it. If the update fixed your problem, almost all custom roms will be using an android version at least equal to what you are running now (most probably newer). You can make a nandroid to restore if you find you have problems with whatever rom you flash. If you don't want to do that, you can always use the factory images posted by google and restore your phone back to the version you are using now. Updated radios probably helped more than anything in a kernel or /system (which is all most custom roms contain - I don't think I've ever seen any that contain radios for the galaxy nexus).
Now running liquid smooth. 4g still strong thanks for the info.

Just wondering.....that is all. I don't have the knowledge or the "need to" to root my phone does everything I want it to, so I never rooted.

I rooted my s2 as soon as I got last year. I've run many roms. My favorite was Juggs 5.0. When ICS officially came out, I Odin to stock ICS. I rooted it so I could add my 15 toggle panel back on. There are a few apps I had that required root. I'm eager to get some JellyBean on it though. I did flash the google now and google ears. Those are pretty cool.

Let's not knock this guy's choice to not root. At least he's here, following development and learning. How many "HELPPPP MY PHONE IS BRICKED!!!!!" threads have you seen? I'd say this guy wouldn't be one of those people if he tried to.

Same here. My last phone (LG P500), which has now gone to my wife, is rooted and I like to stay tuned to developments for it as well. I expect that I'll root once I get 4.1 for my T989D (assuming it comes), then see what custom ROMs can offer beyond that. I've been reading these forums for over a month now to learn the procedures and of potential pitfalls so I don't wreck my phone when the time comes.
This phone is quite a step up from the P500, so I'm pretty happy without root for the time being.

I'm guessing by this statement, that you are a young teenager. I am an Android user and have been for quite a while. I honestly prefer to live my life and not have to tweak a phone's core OS for it to work right. It should work correctly right out of the box. Having to reset my phone several times a day or deal with bloatware is not fun. The nature of Android OS to begin with requires de-bloat/hacking.
Anyway like I said this is coming from a SGS2 user and former iPhone user as well. Only reason I don't go back is iPhones are still physically small for my liking. That and I'm on contract with T-Mobile and live in a building with poor reception (need WiFi calling)
Bought the phone ... rooted it in less than an hour xD. But, after browsing through some roms, I am in stock now just because everything works. However, I do run some rooted apps that come in handy at times.
Battery
I wanted something close to stock, so I went infamous 3.0 and it's just as stable, but the battery life is so much better than stock ICS. Would never go back.
I think its insane to deal with bloatware. Its androids biggest flaw. And theaon reason I root.
Flash Jedi jelly. I promise you won't regret. ( you will lose WiFi calling tho)

I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII from AT&T (d2att ), and I have it rooted, running task650's AOKP, and TWRP 2.4.1.0 for recovery. It works fantastic, and I love it I have, however, been trying everything I can think of to try and get ktoonsez's kernel to work on it, for the features that his kernel offers. I am having a funky issue, which according to task, kt, and a few others on the boards, is device-related. It seems that my phone, individually, is the problem. This leads me to my question.
How feasible is it to get AT&T (or Samsung?) to replace my phone, based on the fact that there is something different hardware-wise between mine and the vast majority of other peoples?
It seems that nearly everyone who runs this combination of task and ktoonsez has nothing but good things to say, and I have yet to see anyone gripe about the same issues that I have had, and not be able to fix them, usually by a simple full wipe. I have tried to do full wipes with and without letting Google initialize/restore my account. I have tried going back to stock everything, and trying again. I have made sure to turn off Performance Control, so there should be no conflict there. I have tried setting up my phone in its entirety, restoring information, restoring apps with TiBu, and then installing the kernel. I have tried with and without deleting mpdecision. I am following all of the directions posted per OP for both threads, and with the gapps posted by task himself. Nothing works, and I end up in a glitchy boot loop almost immediately after flashing the kernel, even if my phone was running buttery stable before the flash.
I have come up with a couple things to try tonight, but if they don't work, I would like to pursue getting a new phone to replace this one. Is that an option?
You will need to do a warranty replacement through Samsung unless you have device insurance through att. But then you will be paying the deductable on it.
There are quite a few reports of people in ktoonsez's thread that stated they had to return their device and get a new one for his kernel to work. Not sure you searched good enough. But either way, you are not the first to have a device that cant run his kernel. I can assure you of that.

Thank you. I may not have read it well enough Do you mean the deductible through Samsung or AT&T? And ho do I approach the warranty? I know, at least where I work, we wouldn't honor a warranty on something that was used for purposes outside of it's intended use (i.e. rooting). Granted, I don't work for a phone company

It would be the deductible through AT&T if you have device insurance. If going through Samsung, something would have to be a manufacturers defect in order for them to warrant a replacement device. I don't think either company will replace the device because you can't use a custom kernel. So you would need to get creative on your story before you go either route.

Settling In
I don't know if this could be a factor but, you will experience something commonly called a settling in period after installing a new kernel.
I have been through trying a couple other custom kernels for I747 plus all the progression of KT747 releases for TW ICS and TW JB since 9-23 release and have been through two phones due to warranty replacement. On both phones I have experienced significant settling in glitches for a while after flashing KT's or other kernels. These include crashing on boot, frequent screen freezes after boot, KTweaker settings not sticking, etc. These issues are far more extreme on first install of kernel than when flashing a new release to phone that already has kernel installed. First boot after first install can take about twenty problematic boot attempts to start behaving and it can take two or three days before kernel "settles in" and problems pretty much disappear.
In my feeble little mind, I envision the new kernel having to grow neurons into the guts of the phone hardware.
If you want to run this kernel and your phone will basically boot but, is all glitchy, I would say don't freak out. Have some patience, just keep rebooting, and give it time to settle in. For most the phone will straighten out in a few days.
Hope this helps.

Do not intentionally brick your device. That could be just as bad as leaving your phone rooted when you take it in (depending if Samsung can see any part of the storage). As far as warranty exchange "excuse" that is on you to decide. Follow the post quoted below to help your chance at warranty exchange. This has been discussed quite a bit all over the place.

You know, I've run tasks rom since it was still 4.1 and have always used the kernel provided in his rom. It runs great, and I wouldn't change it. My battery life and everything else is great. I can get 17 hrs with 3 hrs 34 mins screen time and have 20% battery left. I think trying to get a replacement device just to run a different kernel is absurd... just my .02 cents worth

I completely agree. I'm on tasks currently using his underwear kernel provided. I've also tried KT's kernel as well. Yes you can get more customization with KT's and his custom governor, but is it worth it to go through all the hassle to get a new device? I would say no. Like I said I've tried both kernels, I'm currently using tasks underwear kernel, I may try KT's again, may not. When I did before, I didn't notice a drastic difference between the two, esp not enough to warrant going through a device replacement.
Consider this. You are running tasks rom with absolutely no issues with the kernel he provides. Is that not good enough? I know it is for me. His rom is absolutely the most stable rom I've ever tried on any device. Remember it's just a phone. Just some food for thought.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Probably right, but i don't always run task's ROM, either. My favorite ROM so far has actually been ParanoidKANGDroid, but I wanted 4.2.1, so I went to task. I'm actually running PACman right now, and for the time being, even his PC is broken

It will be a while before the hardware on this phone gets outgrown. That's one of the reasons I originally bought this phone instead of the S3 when it was released....because I knew THAT phone's hardware would eventually be outgrown by software updates. But I know as long as the Nexus 4 is able to handle software upgrades, we will too. And we all know the Nexus devices are first in line with the software upgrades.

I'm brand new to the whole development aspect of Android and have never really peaked at the code so please excuse my ignorance on the topic, but why is GSM to CDMA so hard?
I would think the OS would be built in a way that it utilizes drivers/modules to offload a lot of that dirty work. So it would be something like:
(quick pseudo code so don't get nitpicky.. just trying to get the idea across)
Code:
network = new NetworkDriver('LGOG_CDMA'); //swap out CDMA for GSM drivers, etc..
network.init();
network.sendPacket(your_data_stuff);
and then it would be a matter of then at least trying and hacking the drivers from 4.2, assuming system calls don't change drastically with every minor release wouldn't this work?

I can't speak on specifics, but we had a N4 Conversion Rom for 4.2.2 and it quickly became known to brick certain phones. It was discouraged to use it.

You are taking risks ...but hey ...it's your phone ...and you are free to flash whatever you want...
But not this guy ...g

.....luck is irrelevant.....
Not a single developer on this site. ..that I've been able to find. ..is advising users to flash roms not intended for their respective device. ..
Do you suppose that is luck as well ??
I submit that you have not pushed your device far enough (yet) with incompatible software to do any permanent damage. ..
But if you believe luck will carry you through then by all means. ..proceed. ..
I choose the years of experience our development team has provided. ..
And the code they rely on. ..
If Verizon devices and ATT devices were the same. ..or compatible. ..then our section would include them together. ..
I congratulate you for your bravery...but would advise those users reading this to think twice before attempting the installation of Verizon software on the ATT device. ..as you may not be so lucky. ...
I encourage the advancement of our devices. ..but I ultimately fail to find any possible benefit in what you are doing that outweighs the risks associated with your endeavors. ..
Please enlighten me...
In the meantime. ..I'll continue the use of approved software. ..as I'm not willing to waste $799.00 trying to beat proven science. ....
Best of luck to you. ..g

As long as you make sure you flash an att modem and kernel you will have no issues, actually the kernel would even work just dont ever flash the wrong modem or you will have a hard brick. Ive done this several times myself and have never had an issue. It was the same when I had my s3, you could flash any verizon or sprint rom as long as you flashed proper modem and kernel before rebooting. I used to love jelly beans on my s3, was the best rom I tried so I will be flashing this as soon as download is done :good:

It's true though, I've flashed many other Roms from different carriers..Not many people are even aware from those methods that it does work. Am not saying all of them,but the ones I have tried were successful.
Be careful posting such advice out in the wild ...as first time flashers may get confused as too which rom, radio, and kernel combinations are safe and which are not..
Thus we rely on our developers to package files specific to our devices ...and the safest methods to incorporate them...
I suggest that if your plan is to mix and match software's on this or any device ...it would be prudent to handle those conversations in the form of private massages ...until a proven method is posted ...
I've seen 5 device bricks this week ...and in 3 of those cases the user was confused as to whether or not the correct software and methods were used...
Threads holding names like "use Verizon software on ATT"...only serve to add confusion in the minds of our user base...
Bricks don't just happen ....they are created when users make mistakes by either not following directions ...or using incompatible software ...or a combination of the two ...(add confusion here )...
As stated above ....only some combinations will work ...not all...even when using the posted Verizon software....so if you truly want to protect your reputation and avoid sending folks down to brickville....then post which software combinations are safe only after confirmation from a defined and listed user base ...which will allow contact between users should problems arise ...
Right now it's only ..."this works ..so run it"...
So far...no one has posted here claiming that these methods bricked a device ....but the odds are stacking up every day that someone will ...
Please provide testing results with a clearly defined list of working software for users to draw from ...and how to install it properly...
And those users acting as testers should be included in the thread as well ....
And the most important statement of all should be the first line in the thread ...
"Use this software at your own risk"..!!!
I'm not trying to cause issues in your thread ...I'm simply trying to protect you ...and the many devices that your thread will influence...g

GPS?
Does your GPS work? I have been running AT&T slimbean on my Note ii for about a week or so without GPS lock then ran across your thread.
Ive tried Various fixes like Scotts GPS ect but no luck. Just Curious. Thanks.
Did you take your phone apart? When I replaced my screen my gps no longer worked. It was because I accidentally broke the gps antenna connection on the main board. I had to replace the board.
This is other rom for verizon note2 flasing for me chek in ...
Link this Rom

I think there is a big possibilities flashing rom from verizon as long as they used att modem and att kernel and hardware wise they had some similarities and also roms like jedi and cleanrom also supports multi carrier...just my two cents
Edit: I'm running AT&T Stock UCAMH3 DeOdex but i'm using Saber Kernel 46- from Jedi Master 18 from Tmobile just flashed yesterday see screen my shot and it works fine too.
Man, a bunch of timid little girls... This is XDA. It was BUILT on peole doing things they weren't supposed to do & trying things new that nobody else would try. How do you think itsme developed all the tools that nearly every kitchen for the last decade has been based on was created? The site is XDA developers & until the iPhone & the influx of cheap smartphones, all the members were developers, serious hobbyists or lurkers. What anyone tries to do or decides not to do is up to them. You wouldn't spend $200,000.00 on timber & hardware to build your dream house if you have never swung a hammer in life, same applies here. It is common sense & people with it learn before they do or are willing to take risk & learn as they do. Heck, back in the day, I bought a lot of six Kaisers just to brick, so that I could work with Jocky on a way to revive bricks, i.e. FrankenKaiser...
In this particular instance, the device are essentially identical. That opens the door for a lot of cross compatibility. Manufacturers like Qualcomm are starting to produce chips (radio) that support numerous bands. Some of the latest have the ability to support as many as 23 different LTE bands. This is good for them, less revisions equal less production costs, & it is good for us as well, since it means more cross compatibility.
Really, Samsung lately has been making devices pretty compatible & unless you are messing with the boot or modem partition, it is pretty hard to make a brick.
Of course, the first thing anyone should ask themselves is WHY THEY ARE DOING THIS? & maybe watch this video:
