Seems like Deb is more or less unsupported by devs. Seen multiple people start working on it only to drop support because they don't have time.
Am I surprised? Nope. It wasn't going to be that popular anyway. Should I get a flo instead? I use wifi a lot at home but not at work. I am using T-Mo for LTE since Verizon are assbags about it as well which kills popularity of it even more.
How should I go about selling my Deb... if anyone wants it at this point?
Great answer.
I am wondering more or less the same thing.
Does anybody know any issues with flashing ROMs or kernels meant for the FLO on the DEB? I am wondering if it is just the cellular connectivity that is affected. So can I use any of the stuff intended for the FLO on the DEB with only the loss of the cellular or are there other issues as well? If so, it would be cool to restore a nandroid to restore a DEB ROM if I really needed cellular, and restore a FLO ROM if I wanted to play with the latest software.
*EDIT* Gotta say though. CM 10.2 nightly is working great. I have CIFS support, USB Audio, as well as the "empty app mounted directories fix".
I will try Xposed and Tablet UI later.

Curious about this myself. Anyone have a good answer?
Possible scenarios:
A) It won't work at all no matter what (find this hard to believe)
B) It just works, but no mobile data.
C) It would work, but requires minor porting or conversion and will not be able to have data.
D) It would work with WiFi and Data with minor porting post-compile.
E) It would work, but requires pre-compile porting (see no reason why this wouldn't be the case).
F) It would brick your device.
Scenarios BCD aren't all that bad. If porting could be done, it would be curious to see what all is required. Scenario E would work for those willing to do a little source massage, so long as you can grab a full source (not all Roms seem to provide this).
Scenario F should be warned about if the case. However, if it were true I suspect you'd see more "I bricked my LTE Nexus 7!!!" posts.
Honestly, I don't see why you should. I've built experimental roms for it straight from multiple sources and it's no different from the flo in the aspect of ROM compiling. Kernels has been a hit or miss due to idk. I'm currently running stock with fauxs kernel. I've built ROMs for numerous devices and in the end I can truly say. Its just due to laziness that some/most don't support it. Whatever that reason they choose not to release a build is their own. I think the main reason is that not many people who dev own the deb version. You gotta remember the nexus line is ever changing.

i cant seem to find anything on this and if im just missing it im sorry for the thread...
Is there wifi tethering available for rooted gnexus cdma/lte?
I know it is built into some of the available ROMs. I use Gummy and I can verify that it has wireless tether and that it works just fine.

Ok, gotcha. Thought those were tracked by Big Red. (and whats the difference between tethering and hotspot?)
Teathering is, technically, any form of using your phone's internet via an outside source (USB, WiFi, Bluetooth.....serial..etc).
Hotspot is, specifically, WiFi, and can have multiple users.
Elixir 2 widgets make a hotspots toggle and it works on unrooted nexui too

Actually similar to the T-Bolt if you are stock then hotspot requires a separate plan which the application will tell you when you try to run it.
If you are rooted than the hotspot runs without any additional plans. I'm on AOKP and the portable hotspot works very well.
Yeah I'm sure verizon knows when another device is shareing their connection because each device leaves a different signature on their networks. However, there is an ongoing debate on whether Verizon's blocking of tethering apps outside of its service is in violation of the terms of the purchase of the "C Spectrum" aka 4G LTE they acquired at the auction years back. Read here: http://www.dailywireless.org/2011/11/04/hotspot-tethering-fees/
Hello,
I'm about to switch to Verizon from the ET4G. Can someone help point me to the closest to stock root that allows me to tether? I'm not sure if it is the same on this phone but for the ET4G there were some close to stock roots that I could put the wifi_tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether on my phone.
Since I'm brand new to ther GN, feel free to recommend a better route.
Thanks in advance, this site was extremely helpful with all my ET4G inane questions.

My HTC One X keeps having issues and I'm looking forward to future updates that will hopefully fix them.
I am losing 3g/2g data connectivity every now and then. When it happens I have tried pinging 8.8.8.8 (google dns) and get a "host unreachable... 9".
Airplane mode or toggling data doesn't help. I need to restart the phone to get back 3g data.
I am On O2. I frequently use the widget 2g3g onOff to toggle 2g/3g
Is there any way to troubleshoot the connectivity to try and find out the root cause?
cheers
Others had this issue. If you have an unbranded phone. Try the 1.29.401.12 ruu this included a new radio which might fix your problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It's a branded and unrooted HTC One X so a different ROM isn't an option at the moment.
Would be interested in further troubleshooting like traceroute, ifconfig (is not present on android?) and etc

I know you've probably already got over this or perhaps even switched to a new device, but I found an application that really helps with that problem.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dazbradbury.restartConnections&hl=en
I face this problem at least four or five times every single day but I am afraid to go to HTC about this since my phone is rooted and with a custom ROM on it and I cannot actually revert to Ice Cream Sandwich because I updated my HBOOT to 1.31 and I cannot revert to 1.28 since I have a S-ON device.
I have tried several custom ROMs and the one with least network/signal problems was the stock ICS ROM, whereas custom ones seem to have a lot more bugs and issues with them, but I guess that's expected. Battery life is much better on stock ROMs, though, and overall performance. I am hoping Jelly Bean will be released for my HTC_J15, though.
My connectivity issue was resolved with the last update from HTC.
thank for taking the time posting the info. If I ever get networking problems again then I'll check out the app.
Oh you're most welcome, mate. Your thread appeared as I was Googling the problem and trying to find a permanent solution for it.
I've also heard that the Radio version could be a factor in the network strength.
These are two screen shots of my network info:

I don't really understand the whole dB thing because I am not into networking. lol
What pisses me off is that the device drops data connection while I am in the same spot and haven't moved. When I am outside and drops it, I keep convincing myself that perhaps this spot has no signal or something, but then again other people are using their devices just fine, and I used my BlackBerry in those same spots just fine a month and a half ago!
I've decided to give this it's own thread instead of it getting lost in the Optimus Thread.
Here you will find some info on reception, and build.prop mods for the OpTimuS Roms
Some History.
For as long as I can remember Custom Stock Rom's have always had worse reception than Stock for me. It took me a while, but I finally figured out why.
In the build.prop, there are adds that Devs make to improve reception and cell signal. The bad thing is, it doesn't work for everybody. So I have experimented with the build.prop to make it as close to stock reception as possible. These are the biggest culprits for worse reception.

Also there are some claims of mods that improve speeds and/or reception. Read here. http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...acebo-or-actual-development-see-for-yourself/
I have commented the adds out and it was true they didn't help/hurt a thing. OpTimuS uses three of them. But even though they are in there, they don't work, so I didn't change them.
If you want, you can modify your own build prop. But MAKE SURE you change permissions to rw-r-r, because sometimes it changes itself with mods and it won't boot up.
For those that prefer the easier way....see below.
I don't know how/why Lrod could make the reception so sensitive, but he has. That little red "x" shows up waaay more than with the stock LGSystemUI. Also the "x" seems to be for cell signal , because you can still get data. I average 8% per day on battery use for "Cell Standby".
These should improve your reception on OpTimuS Roms
Wipe /cache, /dalvic and flash in recovery.
OpTimuS DE5.0 - modded - http://d-h.st/SNl
Original OpTimuS DE5.0 build.prop - http://d-h.st/kZg - use this to restore to Lrod's original build.prop
For older versions of the Optimus series, PM me and I can modify it for you. But you don't wanna use the older ones.
You the man buddy!

You used this on OpTimuS DE 5.0? Or on something else.
The changes in the build prop don't touch GPS.
But if you ran this on DE5.0 then just flash back to the original posted above

Yeah, it was weird. Flashed it twice, and twice I couldn't get any GPS signal. I didn't realize it was borked until I got lost and tried to use Maps. Good thing I wasn't in the bad part of town....
Tested it on several programs and GPS would never initialize. Oh well....
This paragraph is intended to provoke thought and is not necessary for answering questions about ROMs, so skip past it if you want: When it comes to cell phones, I like freedom and options. Google has been criticized by the Electronic Frontier Foundation for censoring AdBlock from Google Play. The EFF also levied a criticism for Google doing away with AppOpps. I remember separately having a YouTube account and Gmail account, gracefully using both. After Google bought YouTube, the two were merged without any choice to keep them separate. Then Google+ was introduced and using YouTube became annoying without accepting a Google+ account. Eventually they shoved it down the throats of YouTube users and leaving a YouTube comment was blocked without creating a Google+ account. When you sign up for a new Google account, your searches are saved by default in the history unless you manually turn the feature off. Of course, the NSA leaks raise more questions. Google offers many efficient, valuable, convenient services but I want to maximize my freedom.
Some facts about my phone situation: I own the LTE-capable Samsung Galaxy S III SGH-T999L. It is rooted. It is locked to T-Mobile. Titanium Backup Pro, Root Explorer, and Terminal Emulator are installed. I backed up Knox with Titanium Backup and (as far as I can tell) uninstalled it. To my knowledge, there is no backup whatsoever of my operating system in its current state or original state. I do not know how to back everything up before I try flashing a ROM. As much as I want a non-Google ROM, I am unwilling to sacrifice LTE.
I never flashed a ROM before. Where do I begin if I want to do this safely and correctly? Is there a safe, stable, non-Google ROM tested to work specifically with the SGH-T999L and fully maintain LTE capabilities? Will I have to sacrifice anything major if I flash a ROM? Can flashing a ROM significantly affect battery life? Are there any important considerations you think I should know about before trying to flash a ROM (besides how to do it properly)?
Thanks.
There's no such thing as a non-Google ROM on an Android phone. Not and useable as a phone, at least.
And yes, flashing a custom ROM can significantly improve your battery life, especially with a custom kernel, although just flashing a custom kernel on a rooted but completely stock phone can help, too.
I don't have first hand experience with they model phone so I can't answer your other questions. Good luck!

I did not know that all Android operating systems were by Google. Thanks for letting me know.
When it comes to corporate tracking (e.g. collecting usage statistics in the background) or restricting phone options, is there any advantage that a custom ROM has over a stock ROM without bloatware?

Not really, if you're worried about all that stuff you might as well get a burner flip phone. Anything you do on the internet can be tracked in some way. But there is an all called Who's Tracking? and many similar ones.

Hope this is the correct spot for this... I loaded a new rom on my old Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII a couple years back (not sure which rom now) but I kept getting the popup shown in the image, finally got frustrated and pretty forgot about the device.

Found the device again this week and I'm now wanting to use it in my office mainly for streaming music to a bt speaker. However I'm wondering 2 things - first is there a way to get rid of this pop up on this particular rom?
And #2 any suggestions on what rom I should be using on this device to use it as a media streamer? Will need bt access and wifi, camera would be nice as well as use of the microSD slot... suggestions welcome!

Looks like the stock ROM, definitely a TouchWiz based ROM. That message on screen could be one of the settings in developer options. USB notification in status bar too. Look for settings about showing stats, turn them off.
ROMs, for media streaming, stock is fine. Just a little outdated. Lineage is on nougat 7.1.2 now. Everything works fine on it. Octos is on nougat as well. Both have currently maintained ROMs for Sprint S3.
This is because your efs got wiped or modified
I think that this is because your efs partition got modified or wiped during installation or something, you can fix that using EFS Professional.
