Hey guys, I'm just wondering if there have been any developer who looked into turning international firmware into roms for tmobile...or if its even possible at this point. I'm still not fully used to lg firmwares as far as the kinkx are concern, but is it even doable?
Reason i ask is because updates for tmobiel been non existing

You've got to be patient. Uk just got their updates a couple of days ago. We should get ours soon.
Lol international always getting update but that's beside the point. The point of my post is to find out if international firmwares can be used as customs for us. Very simple

Yes and very easily I had one but I deleted it on accident and do not have the time right now to remake it. I also had a Korean one that got deleted as well.
Holyangel's said in his rom thread that he could rebase it, but we'd lose WiFi calling obviously. Pm him for a definite answer...
Ps... You should convince Jamison to trade in that Samsung....

Just like we've gotten the first international update right? Not everybody likes the waiting game bro. Especially when you're forced to wait longer than necessary.

I haven't found a kitchen that works with the g3 but if you use the updater script from the lonely ROM or zones ROM it should work worst case you would need to add or remove a few things.
What. International firmware. Work. And tryed it yet
As long as you use the d851 kernel any g3 firmware you turn into a rom should work until L comes out.

As much as I hope it is released for our phones, a single person who does live chats all day may not be the most rock-solid source. Any number of things could turn out to have happened, from misreading an information sheet before giving you said information to her being just plain wrong.
Thank you for posting this though, it is important that up to date information like that is made public. Its just that I'm not sure if one representative saying it is on its way is a complete confirmation.
Does anyone know how reliable these live chats usually are?

Not very reliable in this case since they are not allowed to give too much information out to the public. I posted a thread after I talked to one of Samsung's live representatives and they told me that the update would come in a matter of weeks. You can check my thread out if you want.

Ah yes I found that thread. Well if it was more than just one confirmation that adds too the legitimacy :good: I don't want to get my hopes up but its looking good!
I'd love for this to be true. I'm holding off on updating to a custom rom in case they push KitKat and it doesn't work after using the stock restore posted.

I was talking with AT&T repair regarding my phone freezing when switching from portrait to landscape since the 4.3 OTA and they told me they were not aware of a fix coming out for this, but that 4.4 will probably come out in a couple months and it may replace whatever is causing the problem. When I went to the Samsung Experience center to let them force the OTA onto my phone again to see if that would fix the issue, that tech said the same thing about 4.4 coming out, but he thought my freeze issue is hardware related.

I just went to change my sim card to one with secure element, and ask guy at At&t store ( is said "manager" on his name tag) about kitkat for S3. He answer
We don't have any specific date, but I heard it should be at mid May.

Make sense since S5 will be release in April so they can bust sell of S5 before they let us have it KitKat on S3.
Can anyone explain what would be the advantage of an official kk rollout from AT&T?
At this point in time AOSP kk roms are fully functional, no need to hang with an ugly fat chick like touchwiz haha

I've been using kk with pwncake's Quantum ROM for so long now, that I'm not very inclined to go back to touchwiz either. It's just too late.

Kit Kat does bring down memory usage, so if you use or want some of the S applications and features that Touchwiz has, you should see better performance due to released memory.
Theoretically that is, I've been on CM11 nightlies for awhile now.
Some cant work with non stock roms...

I'm going to get the G3 on late June or July,but I'd like to install CyanogenMod!
Anyone knows when I'll be able to do that?
Sure I predict July the 15 th 2055.... Come on they haven't even released to us .... And the bootloader may be locked so you may never have cyanogen

Do you really think we won't be able to install Cyanogen? ¬¬''
you have to keep in mind the device still doesn't even have a custom recovery yet(neither has it been released worldwide) and lg put in some interesting things on the phone, other than the fact the bootloader is locked(just like the g2, g pro2, g flex, etc) there seems to be some more partitions in there(2 bootloaders, 2 root checking related partitions, etc) the g3 is going to be a tuff nut to crack and it will take some time for development to move the way people would like it to especially in the custom rom department, and we can expect that after the us/uk variants launch we will see some progress but if you want the device for aosp then get a nexus
This surely must be closer. Custom recovery is now available (if I am correct) ....
Any news?

Custom recovery is not yet available. The T-Mobile variant bootloader came factory unlocked, so they will have TWRP shortly and custom AOSP/AOKP ROMs and kernels soon, but none of the other models yet. It could be next week, could be next month, could be next year for the rest of us.
I'm hopeful that it will be within the month, it seems like quite a few devs are attacking it. They're starting with universal root first though, so we'll just have to be patient.

More than Cyanogen? Let's get real, except for the Nexus Cyanogen is usually pretty buggy even after multiple releases and I never thought it adds any particular value to my experience... Well, except for some weird looking icons and strange choice of color schemes. Sure, if you are into theming your phone there may be something there for you, but the first thing I do with any phone is install a plain black background, select white fonts and move on. If you feel the launcher is buggy there is Nova or apex.

Lollipop update is officially rolling out on Sprint Devices, so hopefully we're next/soon.

It's safe to say: Root is not coming. I would jump on Lollipop asap. Anything is better than the current lag on this phone. Hopefully its less Samsung customed like how they did the New S6.
I also have a Tmobile rooted also, so I know how laggy the AT&T version is. Heck, my Moto G (2014) is snappier.

Any rumors about plans for a Note 7 DE?
I got the note 4 DE but sold it after a year cause I wanted to use the banking features and other stuff which even with root cloak it wouldn't work. I thought I would die without root as Ive had it on every phone ive ever had but its not so bad anymore. I just miss the customizations but its no big deal anymore.
I think the only benefits to root now are totally removing system apps and bloatware. Unless you're really into flashing or using a custom kernel, then it's not worth it.
You can remove ads with adguard, change your launcher to Nova and have it how you like, you can also block bloatware and system apps with certain apps as well.
While I do admit, for people that like to keep their phones for a long time, it's nice to be able to constantly update to the latest OS if you have a good community working on it, but I rarely keep phones past their end of update age. There was a time where I would refuse to buy a phone if it meant I couldn't root/flash a custom rom but I'm over that. Phones now have some great baked in features as is anyways, and it's worth it to keep them stock for me now. Just get anything that you know will be popular so it gets reliable updates.

I believe that they have stopped doing developers editions. I remember they pulled like 70ish models down one day from the developers' edition section on their site and haven't put any more up since. Nobody really knows what they did with them or why they stopped.
I was planning on buying another Note 4 DE so I kept tabs on the amount that was in stock. I'm guessing they will never have another DE model. I hope I'm wrong though.

Hey guys, I wanted to start on a build of LineageOS for the Samsung S6/Samsung S6 Edge that supports ALL variants (yes, including Sprint) since I notice that there is no one willing to put in a build for the device (Which is pretty much disappointing). Anyone have any idea where I can start? I don't have any extra devices lying around my house unfortunately so I can't exactly run tests on the builds without running them on my main (which poses a risk of completely messing up my phone like last time ).

Thanks for the reply! I just took a quick glance at it and it does indeed seem to be what I want.. But I'm wondering if it runs on the Sprint variant of the Samsig S6 Edge.
