Why is the LTE version of our phone merged with our thread? The few ROMS it provides confuses me into thinking I can use them for the original S3. Can we not divide them and give it it's own thread?
The roms are interchangeable. Just like the T999V that's been part of this forum since the beginning.
I don't see what there is to be confused about though. If you're not sure about it, don't flash it! Or ask.
I have the original T999. But I'm running the T999L rom. Several T999L users are using T999 roms. If you gave it its own forum, everyone would just wind up here anyway. Theres just no reason for it that I can see.

I am using CM10.1 Nightly for T999 (d2tmo) on my T999L, works just fine.
I have read your threads about the ROMS for that phone and yes I'm impressed but even you said inside the thread that flashing the T999L will provide a few bugs if it's not the LTE provided device. That's the only reason I made a statement about dividing them as to avoid problems. I know you can flash ROMS that are not particularly for your device but all devices are different.
Your OP said you were confused into thinking that you could flash the lte roms onto your S3. As I said at the top of the T999L thread, you can.
The Root Explorer "bug" was a simple scripting error on my part (which will be fixed soon), the others are not rom related as they are that way out of the box (and one of those was only reported by one user). And even so, I wouldnt really say they are truly bugs as they do not in any way affect the functionality or experience.
One or two extremely minor glitches do not warrant another separate forum. If this were the case, you would literally see a dozen or more S3 forums! (US Cellular, Straight Talk, mobilicity, wind, videotron, etc, etc, etc.) And several of them would be T-Mobile S3 forums. THAT would make things waaaaayyyy more confusing and you would probably see a whole lot more of the bricked device threads.
Also, for the most part, the T999, T999L, and T999V are identical. Its mostly just the radios that are different (yes, i know there are other minor differences, but for the most part, they are the same)
In the end, the roms and kernels are interchangeable so that should be enough. And if you are still confused or worried about it, just don't flash it.
Again, even if a change were warranted, everyone would still wind up here anyway.
I hope that helps to clear it up a bit better for you.

I have a SGH-T999L, with a SGH-T999 AOSP ROM on it. Everything works except the camera (I get a "Can't connect to camera" error). The major difference I've encountered so far is I can't Odin to any stock SGH-T999 firmware (which seriously confused me when Odin kept failing with an aboot.mbn error though I thought I had the firmware for the right device).
Be glad it didn't work. You might have bricked your device doing that!
As for the camera, its an issue for the T999L in some aokp roms, but I don't think all of them.

Camera works fine on CM10.1 nightly since (at least) 6/22/13, even the HDR and Panorama functions. Try updating the ROM.

Yeah, after I realize I tried flashing the wrong firmware, I felt very lucky... Fortunately I had read somewhere (if I remember correctly) that one possible cause of an aboot.mbn Odin error is that the device model in the bootloader in the image being flashed doesn't match with the model number in the device. (Hope this helps any other SGH-T999L owners!)

Thanks! I saw your update in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308829&page=3 thread (as well as in the CM forum). Bottom line is that cm-10.1-20130703-NIGHTLY-d2tmo is working for me now, including camera, as you said!!! I actually had some initial trouble flashing using CWM which kept abort with a status 7 error, even after removing the asserts in the updater script. CM10.1 nightly ultimately flashed without updater script modification using TWRP.
Cool, glad to hear that you got it working. I prefer TWRP over CWM, but it is just choice, both work fine.

I want to preface this first by saying that...
A. I am not a developer
B. I have huge respect for developers, i know it's not easy
C. I am familiar with rooting/flashing/adb/ etc, just not about Rom development
my question....
The HTC One GPE edition is no different from our VZW phone right? Shouldn't the Rom be able to be directly ported over without issue?
Or does the phone being LTE/Verizon cause issues?
Now i know it's not that easy or this clearly would have been done.... I am just wondering why the GPE roms are not directly able to be flashed on our phones.
Also, if i leave Verizon, and go to T-Mo, would i be able to flash a GPE RUU and have the phone work?
Thanks for anyone with any insight. Just curious about getting a true 100% pure GPE rom on my phone....
IIRC our model primarily uses a CDMA radio while the developer edition uses a GSM based radio. If you directly flashed the GPE ROM you would most likely kill your phone's radio.

Your second question is primarily the reason. Our phones run on CDMA/LTE technology. the GPE ROMS are based on GSM technology. so even though you probably could flash one of their ROMS, you more than likely would not have any data or not be able to make phone calls or send text. To answer your last question, I believe these phones are carrier unlocked carrier so you could technically pop in a Tmobile SIM and get their 2G or 3G service(with the right APNs with our current ROMS). I see that people are doing this with their ATT/TMobile/Unlocked phones but I havent heard of anyone getting it to work on the CDMA variants(VZW/Sprint). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G8JXdPk-no
Have you tried some of the GPE modded Roms we have for VZW?

I did use Newt's GPE ROM when i had the DNA, and it worked fairly well. I have not tried any yet on the One, since i only got the phone a few weeks ago. It looks like they are customized, and i am looking for pure GPE no mods at all. But i still might give the other GPE rome a try, have you tried them? any feedback? Part of me thinks i might make the leap to the CM KitKat build since it seems relatively stable....

Beats is not a deal breaker for me. I just need good in call audio, data/wifi/signal, tether, and stability. No extra jazz for me.....
I do like how these builds get quick updates so far. makes my little time with verizon left worth while. i am debating jumping to tmo come summer time....
Does anyone have any idea if there is a version of the Dirty Unicorns ROM for our phone, unofficial or not?? I have searched lots of forums and googled my fingers off, and I don't find one. However it is a very active ROM for ATT and Sprint. My friend has it on his Sprint M7 and loves it. I would love to try it.

On the official page it says that in the future it might expand to support Our Phone but no dice yet. Nothing left to do but wait. On the other hand you could try many of our extensive collection of roms that we already have.:silly:

Thanks, I am and have been playing with lots of the ROMs we have. Just trying to find the sweet spot between function and fashion
I am basically clueless on ROMs, but since there is a working Sprint version, how hard would it be to port it to our phone, in an unofficial version? I have been reading lots of the how to posts, and it seems fairly straight forward. But I also know there are several gotchas the screw with the Radios on the VZW network. I dont want a brick on my hands
Hey guys, I have a Sprint, SM-T807P (10.5" LTE/Snapdragon) version of the Tab S and I must say that I have been nothing short of impressed since the day I purchased it back in December. However, the one (major) downfall is that it seems 1 in 1000 Tab S owners actually have the 807P, which appears to be resulting in a virtual non-existent world of ROM's/custom kernels etc.
I was HOPING I am either over looking something, looking in the wrong location, or not aware of which other models may be compatible with mine.
I just Odin'd from DUH's KK ROM, to stock OE3 Lollipop, and was hoping to get re-rooted/CWR or TWRP installed and find myself a slick little ROM to install.
Is there any hope? lol Thanks in advance, ladies and gents!
Adding on to this. I bought the SM-T807P used (because it was a great deal) and I am only interested in running it through wifi. I dont need the LTE capability.
Somewhere I heard that some other Snapdragon roms will work, I'll just loose LTE functionality ... which is fine by me.
Does anyone have a list or can point me in the right direction for other roms that would work in wifi mode?
Or tell me which snapdragon roms will work?
It's already rooted and TWRP is installed. I'm just lacking in roms.
Thanks!

I'm sure @duh will gladly build an updated Rom for you guys if enough of you request it.
Maybe if you have enough knowledge you can build one for yourself and the other Sprint owners?

Did you ever receive any answers on this? I am in the same boat, I only have a gig or two of data on my Tab S, but have unlimited data on my Note 4, that's rooted+ROM'd, including the hotspot mod. So I could do without the LTE as well...
What exactly is it you are all expecting from a custom rom?
Practically all custom roms are simply debloated stock roms with maybe the odd extra thrown in.
There is nothing magic in a stock custom rom that you can't do yourself.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend the most feature packed Note 7 ROM for my Note 4 Sprint carrier. I have Used Dr. Ketan Note 7 ROM. It's a very good ROM..
But the camera app isn't updated and after updating it doesn't work, the original Samsung keyboard doesn't work properly, there is no private mode in it & message app doesn't work either.
So looking for a Note 7 ROM that contains less bugs.
Thanks,
Asim
Ive been using Tx.dbs Ultimate Note 7 hybrid rom since it came out and have been completely happy with how it operates as a daily for me,everything pretty much works perfect for a note 7 rom on a note 4.:good:

If your using Sprint service, I agree with @JAMRZ69, the UN7 rom by tx_dbs_tx was made specifically for Sprint.
But feel free to try others to, as long as they have a sprint fix.
Also try to apply AlternateSmsMmsSendingFix_UN7_Hybrid_by.txdbstx to any of the roms you try, as it might help with sprint service. It's on his thread.
As far as private mode goes, i don't think any note7 ports have it. I could be wrong about this part though.
Thanks guys,
I will surely try this ROM and post my feedback.
BTW, is it just me or do you guys also feel that Sprint carrier phone has very less Custom ROMS compared to other variants..
Also lucky are those who have international variants because I've seen ROMs that have almost 0 bugs..

Yes, I can agree with that. I'm kinda lucky in that apect,as I'm unlocked using gsm service (cricket). So it's easier for me to get the other roms working.
To explain why, from what i understand as I'm not a sprint customer, but from what I've studied here. Sprint is one of the hardest carrier's to get working, as they have an extra layer of software to connect to their service, in a sense! Plus Also the predominant service, worldwide is GSM. So there are more GSM roms and it's easy to get a certain gsm rom to work with another gsm provider, and also it isnt super hard to get cdma roms to work with gsm. BUT it is difficult to get GSM roms to work with cdma, especially Sprint because of their setup.
Hope that gives you some insight! At least this is how i understand it!
Plus also, there were actually a lot of sprint roms, they're just older lollipop or not being further developed. This is because the device is aging and all the devs moved on to another device. That's why we must be grateful for the continued development of roms on this device from these great developers. Hopefully some young learning devs like me can keep it going. But I'm just am old dog learning new tricks!

I am using an unlocked sprint phone myself.. Would that also allow me to flash custom ROMs which are for other GSM variants? If that's the case, then I can get hands on some really good ROMs.

Yes, how it usually works is, you install the rom, then you need to install a separate kernel for your device (in most cases they'll suggest the Ram kernel), Then you'll need a data fix. Which usually can be found, or you make one.
If you try a rom and have trouble, I can try to help you with making a fix. They're pretty simple for gsm service. What I've found out is, to stick with installing sprint kernel, but since we use gsm, you can use a tmobile data fix most of the time.

Omg, there are so many options. It's hard for me to say. I have a few post on Sprint section, giving my opinion, explaining some different roms. But it was just comparing newer Sprint roms. When you bring in the international thread, there's just so many options. And all of them are good. Its gonna come down to what works for you. Browse some of the current work going on, and try one. If you don't like after a trial run, try another. If anything, it'll give you xp flashing your device.
But just to name ones that I've actually had running, here's a list in no particular order:
Enhanced
Norma
Nemesis
Dr Keaton
Nameless
Auroa
Emotion
Resurrection
Lineage
Just off the top of my head. That's not counting the ones one the Sprint thread like, UN7 and Dtux.
Read, do some research, look at screenshots and pick one.
Once you pick one and if have trouble getting going with data fix. Let me know I'll try help!
Happy flashing!
Remember, it has to be a Snapdragon Rom.
im curious if anyone has found a nice rom to put on the N4, I just got a replacement the other day and im hoping to load something fun onto it. It came with marshmallow 6.0.1...
the last thing i had was UN5 running, im a little afraid to try UN7 knowing that development has stopped for it..
