Port paranoidkang droid to tmobile

I am wondering how the policy works with porting an at&t ROM to T-Mobile as I am currently running this ROM which is a combo of AOpk and Pa but its by far the smoothest rom I have flashed and much more options than PA plus the video volume is loud as hell so since I am new to the xda community I want to know what are the rules of porting this bad a$$ ROM so that all T-Mobile users can use this as a dd do I need permission from thebz1 or I could just post it for you guys I have it all ready but don't want to anything against the policy please fill me in guys
BTW the link to the ROM is below

My ParanoidKang Android Tmo S3

What did the original dev say? That is probably the most important thing.

is it not flashable to our phone? I've used some at&t roms on my t999 with no issues that weren't already expected. (WiFi calling and other T-Mobile things)

thebz1 was working on tmo Pa THREAD a couple month ago until he decided that he would only take care of at&t only that is why OG came in and started getting PA again but after flashing PA and PK i could tell you that PK is much more stable than PA, its much much smoother, the video volume is really loud, you ger rom control and paranoid android settings together in one so much more customization. i guess since it is an open source i feel that i should port it over , i was respectful by asking him so he doesn't own PK anyhow im going to be working on this over the weekend

Other is an interesting rom. Can't wait to see your port. Good luck!

Obviously both of you haven't tried the AT&T ROM on a T999 because it won't even flash in recovery, much less boot up. I know this because I've tried it in multiple stages of development. He was asking about porting another persons work, and XDA's policy. Yes, most AT&T ROMS work on t-mo too (as long as it doesn't contain AT&T modem), but lets not be redundant & state what most people in this forum already know. Thanks for the port bro. It's running like butter!

I'm sorry, maybe I've missed something...If I have, forgive me,
But, the original Dev did not give you permission to port his work over. Have you considered that he may have a reason for it? Perhaps he plans to support multiple devices with it, like many other devs do with their Roms.
That is just a guess, but if something like that were the case, depending on how popular the dev is, and how P.O.'d he gets, you could be making a lot of enemies on here....
Something like this, if you want it that bad, go ahead and port it. But do it for yourself, do not release it.
If you were planning on releasing it regardless of his answer, then you should never have asked.
Sorry man, just trying to help.....

Best e4gt rom?

Hello All,
I just got my 3rd replacement epic 4g touch this evening. Ive been wanting to tinker with custom roms since i first got this thing, but i finally got one without the eMMC brickbug!
i need one that's very stable. I've had good luck with CM on my previous htc devices, but i haven't used it in awhile, and I'm kind of nervous flashing a beta. Whats your opinion on it?
I've been very interested in some of the other ones I've come across.
What's your favorite ROM for this thing?
Edit:
I should add that i prefer roms that have nothing to do with touchwiz our any other carrier mods, wifi hotspot functionality is a nice plus, i miss custom lock screens, and everything else is almost just a luxury.

The answer does not reside in these XDA forums, the answer lies in your heart.

Try the sense 5.0 rom with the jellybean kernel. That's the best hands down
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Hi Johnny, unfortunately these threads go downhill fast so I (we, the mods) don't allow them. Please read up and see which particular one you would like to try, then flash a few and see for yourself. Different roms, kernels, combos, etc. usually perform different for different users also. All you can do is try them out. Thank you. :highfive:

MoDaCo Switch

Hi all,
Forgive me if this has been posted here already - couldn't find it anywhere.
MoDaCo Switch is now a public beta:
http://www.modaco.com/topic/363797-modacoswitch-beta-8-support-topic/
It installs both Sense and Google Play Edition Roms. Then, from within each, you can flick a switch to change to the other. It is pretty damn neat. It shares one data source, so all apps installed on one rom are available on the other and all changes made in one app are also present when you open the app in the other rom. Furthermore, you can exclude apps that you do not want to share data (for example a launcher - where you way want to have different set ups on the different roms). It is a really clever solution if you can't decide which rom flavour to stick with!
Check it out!
Please Note - I had absolutely nothing to do with the development of MoDaCo Switch. I just wanted to share it in case people hadn't seen it.

I'll try this when you can use your own ROMs because I certainly don't want 2 stock ROMs on my phone with all the bloatware and not customised to my taste. I've just spent a month modding my favourite ROM to have it set up just how I want it so until then, I'll pass.

not yet, the roms have to be made ready for switch first, this will most likely happen over the coming few months,.

Sprint LG G2 no love?

So Ive never had a device (even on sprint) that has no development to be seen within a weeks period of time. I believe the Root we have is from other devices and the CM 10.2 build that was posted was something that was supposed have never seen the light of day and was broken. I totally love this phone but I was really excited for the development aspects since its basically nexus 5 with a different shell. Anyone else with the sprint variant a little worried by the lack of interest?

I'm on the same boat, many probably are.
This phone is still solid stock.. all I really need is tethering... patiently waiting

Those other carrier variants have been out way longer than ours. We've only had ours for 1 week now. Give it a bit more time?

Development is under way. There are 2 devs working on a CM 10.2 ROM right now and another working on a version of CleanROM for us. Its going to take some time and the phone hasn't been out for a week yet.
Also the CM 10.2 ROM was removed because the build was not tested and verified by the dev to be working and they removed the links to it in case it caused a potential brick to the phone. People who downloaded the ROM say it had GPS lock and rotation issues so you don't want to download the ROM anyways. In fact they saved you the hassle of reverting back to stock or a nandroid backup. Read the last few posts in that CM 10.2 thread to get a sense of the situation.
I am not worried at all about the "lack of interest" in this phone. You have to remember that not all the potential devs have received the phone yet such as garwynn who probably just received the phone today. Lets give the potential devs some time to come out with new ROMs and other mods. There are enough ways currently to mod the current stock ROM anyways through Xposed and other mods like (increase volume).

Its only been a week. Our device was rootable even before Sprint released it. I'm not worried. For now I've been using Greenify + Titanium Backup to keep my phone in battery/performance BEAST MODE.

Install G2 xposed and you'll see you can do a lot of the customization yourself. There's also an xposed kitkat theme in the theme's section by ock. The device is already fast and ignoring aosp roms, you can customize the stock rom to your liking.

I guess I didn't think about the fact that the other variants had been out for a few months already, but I really wasn't trying to comparing them. I was just noticing that compared to devices I've had in the past (even the SGS II which I hated lol) had some things pop up pretty quickly. Also make sure that no one takes this as me complaining, just thinking out loud here.
And as to the xposed stuff, Im atually just interested in some slimed down stock roms and AOSP, but thanks for making sure I knew about it
PS: Ive also had this phone for close to a month so Im probably feeling that rom flash bug harder than most XD

Hey ite only been out 4 a week man

So far I've rooted, download rom, installed twrp, tried flashing it but it booted stuck on carbon logo. It may be because I don't have the gapps file.

ROM Request: GPE 4.4

Anyone currently working on this rom? FOr some reason AOSP roms run poorly on my phone, but GPE and Sense work great. Is anyone working on porting the new 4.4 GPE Rom?

Its going to take A LOT OF WORK to get it properly built and running smoothly on our device. Im pretty sure he has it running already but doesnt want to put out something with a million bugs everyone is going to complain about.

Its not that it doesn't work, it has some very strange lag on my device for some reason. Any AOSP roms do, and Sense or GPE don't.

Any clue as to why 4.2.2 was relatively easy to get running on our device (even without kernel source) while 4.4 requires a lot of work?

1. Our device shipped with Android 4.2.2 already, no kernel work was needed.
2. 4.2.2 Google Edition was mostly stripped down Sense, which is no longer the case.
There are other reasons as well, but I won't go into them, as they are all but behind me now anyhow...I'm almost satisfied with the port. (and no, NO ETA's, lol)

Is the framework for 4.4 still pretty much sense? I feel like if it is too much AOSP it might have that glitch on my device... TikTak had it too.

Can the Sense camera still be installed on the GPE 4.4 like it could on 4.2/4.3? That's the only reason I would switch to it - I hate AOSP camera.
