I did some modifications to Bluetooth share in /system/app/Bluetooth.
But after that I pushed the app via adb...then a lot of error messages that said (Bluetooth Share Stopped).
Then I removed the modified Bluetooth app and pushed the stock one via adb and rebooted the device but the error message still appears although I make
1) wipe cache+dalvik
2) reflash the kernel
Why the error message still appears although I used the stock unmodified app.
Where is the problem?
Could someone help me with this problem?
Here are some logs

Check your ROM zip for symlink. Different Bluetooth Sharing apk may require different different libbluetooth_jbi.so if linked to /system/app/Bluetooth/lib/arm folder from /system/lib/libbluetooth_jni.so For that reason, you have to watch for 0 bit lib files when pulling application from another ROM flashed on phone. (It may been a symlink if true).
Did you try verifying permissions and ownership and clearing data for Bluetooth Sharing and reboot?
Got a backup? If not, try dirty flashing ROM. You may just have to start over. Consider making a backup before making changes.

How to verify permission and ownership from terminal?
Yes I have a backup but I want to know more about the problem.
I have some logcat about the problem.
It may help to figure out what happened
And
Could be mismatch of apk and lib. Did you replace both and set a new link?
It's easy to set with a root browser.

I think the members moved on to oyher endeavors. Not much activity on the Sprint Note 4. However, I used this method posted by Lawyer-06 to port some system apps and CSC files from my stock rooted rom to a customer rom I was having issues with.

Nice tutorial share. Thanks for helping.
What may be missing is linking the lib so the application works. It's a matter of checking original file as installed on phone before replacing and duplicating with a root browser. Long press the lib file, scroll through options, select link to this folder (maybe last option) and then browsing and selecting same folder location as seen from original link. Hint: the lib linking and appearance in its location will look the same when linked properly.
In the case of this thread, unzipping the ROM and reading the install scripts for proper linking may have been done to link the files after installing. The Bluetooth application simply needed to know where to get it's vital resources to work with. There are exceptions where replacing apk and lib, setting permissions, clearing data and rebooting aren't enough. Developers may write install scripts into patch zip accordingly as needed to get this done without a ROM update. Or even alternately in an aroma installer. Or those that test ROMs to support a developer may need to do this manually in that support capacity. Then again, it could be user in another country or region needing to make changes for themselves in order to use a developed ROM.

Sorry. Gotta say I'm not experienced with resolving an issue like this. Not sure what you're doing when getting this logcat? References to zipped files? Should they be zipped?
What I would do in a situation like this and ensure I've done everything properly. Could be a simple mistake.
Otherwise, no idea if this helps you or not but a little searching found this blog:
https://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2011/08/classnotfoundexception-in-java-example.html?m=1
If Java tutorials makes sense to you, there's some suggested fixes to look into. Maybe it helps? Best wishes you resolve this and learn enough to help the next guy.

I just want to say, thank you samep. I really appreciate your input on this subject. Your way of explaining this is well put and your points are valid. Bluetooth issues is something I have not had in any custom rom as of yet. However, I like to be prepared and knowledge is power.
Thought I'd give a little of my personal background followed by a few questions. I have no formal education with computers or Android. Although, I have not been a member on XDA for very long, I have been on this site for many years. Having lost my previous N4,
the only n910ps for sale were on the latest update 5DQ15. The fused 5 aboot prevents downgrading to previous firmwares. No chance of downgrading the boot or modem without SW REV CHECK Odin fail. Fortunately, 6.0 MM roms can still be flashed. With every single custom rom I flashed, my hotspot settings disappeared, except stock rooted deodexed roms. in which the hotspot setting remained. I remember reading a post somewhere on XDA stating that it was in CSC others.xml so I copied the entire CSC in stock rooted rom to external sd then flashed the custom rom and with the tutorial in the link above I replaced the custom roms CSC's with the stock rooted CSC's. Rebooted to TWRP wiped dalvik /chache and booted the phone. My Hotspot now appeared in the custom rom settings. However, I am not questioning your information. In fact, I remember reading an XDA thread about custom rom development that specifically backs up what you stated. More to it than simple copy and past, Its just I didnt know any other way. Although this worked for me with setting option , I know the phones Bluetooth connection is a bit more intricate than a simple CSC others.xml.
Which brings me to my question and I quote "Long press the lib file, scroll through options, select link to this folder (maybe last option)" What root browser do you recommend. This option is not provided as an option when I long press with my current root file manager. Yea, I know ES file manager has been kick of Google PS but Im still using it . LOL.. I wish to thank you ince again for your very informative posts.

I can appreciate your background and effort and even the experiences you share. Best wishes for your success.
I used to use script manager pro for a root browser. When I started working with developers in XDA, they pointed me to Root Explorer by speedsoftware (link below). I use it exclusively since and find it as capable as the other. I had gotten this one years earlier as a free promotional app on Amazon Prime through their Android app store. I was ecstatic when the developers of Root Explorer asked for my license key to transfer it to Google Play! Really? I asked, not expecting satisfaction, and they complied stating they've done it for others as well. It's their discretion and pleasure to do so. The app is still in Google Play; I get my updates there now.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
But I haven't done much at all since leaving the Note 4 and Sprint. I forget so much when not using it. Sad but true and being honest. I miss those days but always wanted better data coverage and a faster phone. But even that's a work in progress.

Always worked fine for me. All the way down to 0.105 when I first started using it. He's released a bunch since then but I have never had a problem with anything in the kitchen except for the updater script verification but that was fixed a while back too.
Well maybe it does work, but doesn't change what people REALLY want changed. I think most people are wanting that option to change what appears in the About -> Software screen which it doesn't I dont think...

I see now.
In that sense then yes you have to edit the build.prop yourself as previously stated and the kitchen does not allow you to change this value.
I personally don't care what it's listed under (rom name under software number) but we all have our ocd tendencies and this could probably be one of yours. Good luck.

Testing it and so far I was able to change the value under software number in the build.prop on the phone with root explorer and the change took effect on reboot.
Should save you some time especially if you have already built the rom.
Just change the value on the phone until it is what you like and export the build.prop file out of your phone and into your rom zip.

It depends on what you did to the rom. Since you didn't theme it you either added or deleted some files from the zip that are preventing it from booting.
I found that out the hard way. The last rom I made (3.70) which is the one I use now is basically bone stock 3.70 except for a handful of changes that don't allow it to freeze on boot during a fresh install.
If you have made any changes to any apps try replacing them with the stock ones and then doing another install.

Have you built any bootable version from the source of the one that is not booting?
Where did you get the source for the rom you are building?
You can either grab the rom version zip from the dev forum (3.70 stock, rooted, deodexed for example) which is basically bare bones roms with root added and deodexed as an example.
Or, you could grab the ruu and grab the rom.zip file from it and then extract the needed .imgs to create a rom.
Most of this info is in the dsixda kitchen thread but basically if you haven't changed anything manually in the rom source then more than likely you did get a corrupted source.
Good luck.
Contents:

So does this mean the SystemUI in this version is able to decompile without errors? If so how exactly did you do this?
Thanks.

I used smali and allowed each APK to reference all of the .odex files in the framework, added the classes.dex files to their respective APKs, and zipaligned. I don't know if it matters, but I did those steps through the command line, although I'm sure the process would be a lot faster with a script. If you would like the exact line-by-line process that I used, let me know.
So how is this Rom & all I have to do is download & flash it or is there another step to do?

The procedures are the same as for other ZIP-based ROMs: download, transfer to phone, and flash through recovery. You may or may not need to erase your data (depending on which ROM you're coming from), but backing up your data beforehand is advisable and never hurts.
I haven't received any feedback regarding this specific ROM yet (I don't know if that's a good or bad sign). The main difference is that it's deodexed and will decompile without errors. I'm sure there are other threads with more in-depth information on IMM26 changes/improvements/issues.
SuperUser
I was impressed with this rom for the first few minutes I used it. But then I found out that my SuperUser app wasn't working. I tried updating the binaries through the app itself but it couldn't gain root access. I downloaded the file again and flashed it again but SuperUser still didn't work. It was the same problem with not gaining root access. So I flash the SuperUser zip file from zedomax's tutorial on rooting the Nexus S 4G and I was able to gain root access. Just thought I'd tell you.
mvilla, how did you fix the superuser root access problem? i am having the same problem when i try to update binary, and im getting permission error when i try to flash recovery in rom manager, i think is because of superuser not working.
I went to nexusshacks.com and downloaded the nexussrootICS.zip file (I think that's what its called). There's a SuperUser.zip file within that zip file. I moved the file to my phone and flashed it in recovery (wipe cache and dalvik cache of course). And its working well.

This update is from ChainsDD's site and has the latest Superuser app and binary. Should accomplish the same thing.

Hey buddy, I'd LOVE to have the step-by-step, or line-by-line on the process you used to decompile. If you could PM me, or post it up here for everyone to use, that would be great!! I'm kinda new to the decompiling and compiling scene so any help would be great! Also, you said that most devs that use ICS probably use a kitchen to decompile and compile their .jar and .apk files, where is this kitchen? Or are you talking about Android SDK?

Did you ever get that step-by-step process for deodexing ICS from the OP? If so, can you send it to me?
I guess the Google Apps are included?
Will there be any further updates to this in the near future, or has this reached the end of the line so-to-speak? Just curious because I like having the natural AOSP of this.
Been using this since the 9th and I have to say it's very smooth. Very stock too, which obviously is what it's supposed to be. Just saying that for anyone who comes in looking for something customized. This is basically pure vanilla ICS.
Sorry for the delayed replies. I've been hammered by other obligations lately.

The stock Google apps are included. There are now two choices: One has the apps that were included in the IMM26 release (R3) and I have also included the latest app updates and related binary files as (R4).

Will there be any further updates to this in the near future, or has this reached the end of the line so-to-speak? Just curious because I like having the natural AOSP of this.

I have replaced the Google apps that have been updated since the IMM26 release. There are rumblings that the official ICS ROM should be released sometime soon. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll offer the same thing to that release once it comes out.
If you're asking about adding functionality or features, I don't think I'd have anything unique to offer since there are so many other ROMs and customizable updates out already. I have considered including FaceLock functionality, but it adds quite a bit of size to the ROM and honestly, it hasn't worked very well for me. If there is enough interest, I'll include it as a separate revision in the future.

Hey, so is there any way to get the 4 Multi Window feature, instead of just the 2 Multi Window feature, on the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, just like the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 has?
I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if it's a Note (S-Pen) exclusive, and therefore not available on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1?
quadview or 4 multiwindow apps simultaneously 8.4 & 10.1
EDIT: THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED WORKING BY @GreenMachine...SEE POST BELOW. ALSO...THE FIXED ZIP HAS BEEN ATTACHED TO THIS POST.

whats going on guys...i've ported the multiwindow mod to several other devices & just wanted to post the instructions to enable quad view for the tab pro models that shipped without it. If this does in fact enable the new option then feel free to donate a dollar to the multiwindow master himself @xperiacle since he is the one that made this discovery and has put in the most effort in making these mods work on devices that dont have them by default....i have linked to his paid app below which does the same thing as the zip (unfortunately i cant suggest purchasing it because i'm not sure whether or not it will work on the tab pros) but as for me a simple click on the thanks button will suffice

thanks for testing... i believe we actually only need one of the perms included but added all of the ones i've noticed missing from other devices just in case some other hidden feature may be available (there's a level 3 sensor xml that i found in a note 3 rom but i doubt that it does anything extra). Also...i found the source of the error which was just my sloppy editing of the updater-script.

Yeah it runs really well. I don't understand why Samsung didn't give the option for 4 Windows to us 8.4 owners. Maybe they thought that the 8.4 screen wasn't logical for 4 windows.

Thank you ! I was pretty upset when i discovered that there are not 4 windows just like the tab pro 12.2 .
OK a 8.4 " tablet may be too small but they could at least give the option for people , i don't get it too :/
I'll definitely flash it, my LTE version should arrive on monday !
What's the difference between TEST 1 and 2 ?

both zips contained the same files including an xml labeled "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.xml" that has an identical name as one thats already on your device but is actually different when opened which means it MAY have needed to be replaced/renamed...the copy included in the TEST1 zip was the NOTE 12.2 version (also included in the V1) which we know has working 4 way multiwindow while the copy in TEST 2 is the one that originally came on the 8.4(Wont bother switching it back unless the other copy removes features or causes conflicts)

this is actually a question for anyone who can answer...is it true that samsung removed the icon to go from full screen to floating mode? i played with a demo unit and didnt see it...i was wondering if it was because there was no multiwindow manager app installed or what. Not sure if u guys are familiar with what i'm talking about but there used to be a black cascade icon in the lower right corner (which could be moved wherever u wanted it) that when pressed performs like the restore icon in windows (even looks similar)...if any of u guys owned any 4.1.2 samsung with multiwindows then u should be familiar with it especially if u had a tab plus or 7.7. Also...can someone that uses allshare cast/miracast/screen mirroring please tell me if multiwindow will work at the same time? This used to be a limitation of older versions so i would like to know if that has changed or will that need to be my next project...thx in advance
Change perms?
I am trying to get the 4 multi window feature to work on my Pro Tab 10.1. I copied the xml files to system/etc/permissions but I don't know what to do next. You said "copy xml files in "system/etc/permissions" to the same location on your device then change the perms to 0644 (or rw-r--r--) then reboot." What do you mean by change the perms to 0644? can you please explain how to do that? Thanks!
EDIT: So I figured out how to change the perms, so I changed them for all the xml files for the multiwindow feature. I rebooted my device and now it wont turn back on...PLEASE HELP?

i apologize for any problems u may be having as i should have deleted the other zip i posted...the best way to get back going would be to flash TWRP through odin then use it's built in file manager to delete all of the permissions files u just added EXCEPT "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.quadview.xml" which is the only file u actually need. I believe the file thats keeping your device from booting is the "sensorhub_level3" file but delete all of the others just to be safe...once finished your device should boot and also have the 4 way multiwindow function from the 12.2 tabs. If u choose to or have already reflashed the stock firmware then just re-root and add ONLY the above mention "quadview.xml" with proper permissions & u should be good to go...sorry for the setback

Yes...u only need the one file named quadview. The others were just a test from older versions of multiwindow to see IF they might add any extra features but not only did they not work they also cause the device to get stuck as u found out the hard way...no problem with the help since it was my fault in the first place

If u are familiar with xposed framework then just install the wanam module and there is an option in "system-select multiwindow apps" that will allow u to add any app...once u do this u will need to reboot then u will still need to add the apps to the multiwindow launcher by opening the multiwindow tab & pressing the 2 lines at the bottom then pressing "edit" & finally dragging the apps u just added from the left over to the launcher on the right. If u just want to download an app from the playstore that will allow u to add any then i suggest "muliwindow apps manager" which i will link to below but u will still need to reboot & add apps the same way i just described

So here are the steps I follow to use the Sprint LG G2 (ls980) with any rom on Tmobile or AT&T in the US
*This thread is specifically for the LS980. Some of the information might apply to other phones, but I can't say for sure.
***Caveats of using this phone Tmobile or AT&T:
-LTE doesn't work. Missing lte bands. Highest we get is hspa+.
-Haven't tested Custom Kernels
-instead of 4g or LTE logo, it says gsm all of the time (paid app that will safely change icons without system crashes linked below)
-Had to use 3rd party app to change radio and apn settings (see below)
-Wifi on stock 4.4.2 didn't turn on twice in the last 2 weeks when coming from a wakeup. Had to reboot to fix.
Again, I did not do any work. I have only compiled this information from various forums. Most of this work comes from cloudyfa, the find from pvinodnayak, the unlock from ysabxe and countless members in the sprint unlock forum and the old sprint build prop forum before the unlock was released. I have just compiled information. Thank op's for their work.
There are multiple ways to use the Sprint LS980 on Tmobile or AT&T. Before we get into them, please do the following:
- root phone with ioroot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522346
- use autorec to install TWRP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
*If you notice now that when you screen goes to sleep, and when you try to activate the screen it shows a whole bunch of white lines, boot into recovery and install the G2PanelSwap. [/url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792844[/url]
There are 2 ways to accomplish using our phone. (be sure to scroll down to the bottom to see the 2nd way. You might want to to this instead of the first way.)
1st Way - Use your phone on Stock Sprint Software
***If you are already on the ZVC firmware, people have noted problems using the following instructions..There are constant system crashes. It is recommended to restore back to an earlier version, make the changes below, then take the ota upgrade. You can go back to stock by following this guide.
LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) - xda-developers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
If you prefer to stay on ZVC, please follow jsergio123's guide found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52915223&postcount=814
1-setup phone and Download root browser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
and a rar extractor.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar
2-Download the ls980simfinalunlock.rar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
3-extract the rar and copy the carrier contents and use root.explorer to over write the files in the root carrier folder.
4- Download Rom toolbox lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox
and use it to Update the build.prop (reboot between each. You can turn on airplane mode in the meantime to stop the system ui from crashing)
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
persist.service.crash.enable=1
Found from this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49945052
*After trying numerous build.prop edits, I have found that they all cause system crashes. Please only use the ones listed above. If you hate the GSM icon, I have found a way to change it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.ptoti.g2_tweaksbox . Install it, and then buy the premium pack for $1. (cmon its only a buck.) After you unlock all features, Click on Theme Tweaks -> and make sure Enable Theme MOD is selected. Then click on Status bar. Then make sure Enable Status Bar Mod is On. Then scroll down "Change status bar's icon set" You can choose through different icons from different carriers. I prefer the Tmobile one. They will take affect after reboot.

5-Use Radio Switcher to check and set what radio to use. I use LTE\GSM\WCDMA
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snclabs.radioswitcher
6-Use Tweakker MMS APN app to set APN
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker
*Note - Some users get force closes when trying to make a phone call. For some reason, you need to add a number 1 to your contact before you call
If you want to fix this manually, Follow the following fix found by jsergio123)
*To fix the issue of the com.android.phone process crashing when you don't dial a 1 in front of the number edit the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file with a SQLlite editor and change in the "system" table "assist_dial" and "assist_dial_init_db_check" to "0". If you don't see those 2 rows then you can add them. Fix permissions, wipe cache and reboot.
Another workaround is that I have found an app that will automatically add 1's to every one of your contacts.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maplekeycompany.apps.numberfixer
Install it and open it -> click Add area/country code -> change the dropdown to 10 and hit ok -> and in the area code, erase the area code part leaving just the number 1 -> Fix all. It will prompt you for how many numbers it will add the number 1 to all contacts.
2nd Way - Flash a rom
After you have Rooted and Flashed and possibly the G2Panelswap , you may want to consider installing a rom that works out of the box. It is much easier.
Here is a list of roms that work out of the box that I have personally tested. I know there are more.
***Update***
In all of cloudyfa's latest rom builds they do not work out of the box. I had to install the rom without my sim card in. Then download and install rom toolbox lite (see step 4 above) and change ro.carrier to spr (make sure its lowercase.)
I then turned off my phone, put in my sim card, installed radio switcher (link in step 5 above) and chose WCDMA preferred. Everything worked after that.
Cloudystock =stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661866

CloudyG3 =G3 port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783192
Let me know in the forum what other roms you find that work out of the box and I will link them here. Please remember that unless a rom specifically states it works for AT&T or Tmobile, or is a general rom that is 1 rom made for different versions of the phone, than it most likely won't work. There are lots of roms to look through in the G2 development section as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development

I already followed the "Permanent SI Unlock for LS980 (OTA, APN) JB 4.2.2, KK 4.4.2" thread, so I did the following extra steps "To make APNs stick automatically:", is this fine?
To make APNs stick automatically:
1. Replace apns-conf.xml in Folder /etc/
2. Delete File telephony.db in Folder /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

and a rar extractor.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar
Download the ls980simfinalunlock.rar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
7-extract the rar and copy the carrier contents and use root.explorer to over write the files in the root carrier folder.
8- Download Rom toolbox lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox
and use it to Update the build.prop (reboot between each. You can turn on airplane mode in the meantime to stop the system ui from crashing)
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
persist.service.crash.enable=1
Things to try if you are still having system crashes.
Set
ro.build.target_country=US
Try this to change icon from gsm to "H"
ro.build.target_operator=OPEN (might cause system ui error)
Delete lteconfigs.apk in system/app and reboot.
9-Use Radio Switcher to check and set what radio to use. I use LTE\GSM\WCDMA

There are lots of apps to get you to these settings. Here is another one. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network

Do you have to go through the whole unlocking process for those apps to work? It says its incompatible with my phone but I haven't tried unlocking yet so just want to be sure. Also is this just for GSM usage or would I be able to switch back and forth? I want to test it out before I decide to actually cancel with sprint and go with tmobile. My friend is letting me hold on to an extra tmobile sim so planning to try it with that.
Sprint blocks gsm in the US. You have to do steps 6 and 7 to have gsm unlocked. That is why it is failing for you. Once it's unlocked, you can still use sprint

I'm trying to do this with Omnirom, and there is no carrier folder that I can paste the folders into. Any suggestions?

Are you using root explorer, and backing out all the way to the top directory?
Also, this thread isn't meant for troubleshooting per say, it's just a list of steps that I did. If you are having problems with a certain step, go to the linked thread and troubleshoot there, as they are the real developers who did the fix.

Haven't tried yet. But this is the first post I saw that can unlock LS980 with AT&T/Tmobile.
I tried the following thread, but it only unlocks internationally and doesn't work with AT&T/Tmobile..

I didn't ever see those steps in the op. They would probably help. But at any rate, yes. Each thread brought us one step closer to using this phone in the US. I kept trying over and over what step to do in what order to get it to work, and then wrote this guide. The way to listed in the op of permanently unlock is a great way to do it, I just thought dropping the folder in is easier.
Sprint blocks gsm everywhere, unless you get it unlocked through them. The permanent unlock let's us bypass that restriction and lets us use gsm, but still doesn't bypass sprints measures to block gsm in the US. The build prop changes do that. Everything else listed is just the tools I used to change everything.

When switching Roms, you might need to make the build. Prop changed again, but you shouldn't ever have to do the unlock again. Also, op updated with possible new changes to get rid of the gsm icon and shows H for HSPA . Its working well so far.

Spoke too soon. After a reboot, lots of force closes with the new TMO settings. Back to spr and the GSM icon it is....

Yes, when I try to create a folder in the top directory, it doesn't stay after reboot. I assume this has something to do with the way Android works, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You shouldn't be creating a new folder. You should be finding the already existing carrier folder, and overwriting its contents.

Right, but the issue is that Omnirom does not have a carrier folder.
Don't know what to tell you. You can try just the build. Prop mods starting on step 8. People have had success with asop based Roms. I have only used stock based Roms. Also, again this question would be more for the permanent unlock forum linked above.

Here it is guys! Android L for all of us! We all need to thank @Kevinjoa for this wonderful port, because he's the dude who got it. Thanks!
Now for legal junk
Code:
Its your device
you choose what you do with it
if your phone explodes after flashing this, or melts, not our (or Kevins) fault. K?
Now for current bugs
Personally, I feel it can be used as a daily driver
Heat issue (Fixed soon no ETA's) ((Or run start Thermald in terminal emulator))
Charging slow issue (Will be fixed with Heat)
Service may take some tweaking to work on sprint (Flash Release3 first, add your carrier in carrier settings, then flash latest)
Random Device Update FC (rename /system/app/OmaDmclient.apk to OmaDmclient.apk.bak thanks @dwielunski)
No SD Card error (go to corresponding app in /sdcard/android/data and delete the folder)
NFC isnt working
Camera is a bit wonky
DOWNLOAD
DOWNLOAD L HERE
Please, before you report bootloop, give it at least 20 minutes to boot.
Enjoy!
Thanks to Google, Kevin, and whoever i forgot

OMG you guys figured that out! Amazing. I was wondering about the carrier part. I went from release two then clean flashed 8-11. Never tried any in between.
And @dwielunski seriously, tons of thanks for figuring out the update FCs. I tried renaming and deleting all kinds of apks and lines in some update xml's and whatnot. The fact that you figured that out and got them to stop is great. Thanks again to @dwielunski @ThatKawaiiGuy @Kevinjoa.
Has anyone else tried this?

Seems like it would help.
I am very pleased to be rid of the update device FC! Also this may be my first actual meaningful contribution on xda so there's a milestone.
I saw the note about the NFC service. I don't use Titanium, but I downloaded an app from the Play Store called Disable Service and used that to disable "Nfc service". I assume it's the same thing? (Not entirely clear on what the issue is with NFC.)
For 3G data, I think have a more sensible fix that doesn't require flashing multiple versions of the ROM. If you are getting LTE but not 3G, you probably need to add "default" to the the plain vanilla Sprint APN. I will post a guide on how to do this with screenshots in a minute.

I agree since when booting release 3 for the first time there is no mobile network because it tries for global. I have no type of service at boot and have a feeling that if I could get through setup it would say I have no prl, min, meid information listed. I saw this problem with release 2 but was able to get through setup using wifi. I cannot do that at work. Also, once past that part I still could get nothing for data. I seriously think it is due to having EvDo and not eHRPD in this area.
On the note of NFC, I am thinking it can be removed or renamed much like the oma file. I found nfcnci.apk and renamed it to bak, also there is an nfc_nci.mako.so file here \system\lib\hw so maybe that can be removed or edited even. I don't know how NFC polls things but maybe those files are useful. I don't think using an extra app is useful all the time.
I tried this again while at work but still had nothing at boot on rel3 it sets the network to sim mode or something.
All right. You only need one APN. (Others are for ota updates which we don't want, and separating eHRPD & LTE appears to create problems with handoff.) See screenshots for how it should look.
Now, to edit the APNs:
1) am start -n com.android.settings/com.android.settings.ApnSettings from terminal emulator; or
2) download an app from the play store like quickshortcutmaker or various APN editor apps (can't tell you which will work though).
We could make a flashable zip out of it, or build into the ROM. Until then, for those trying to activate the ROM over 3G, maybe use a tool like aromafm to edit/swap out the APN XML file after flashing but before first boot.

Do you have or can you share the apn config file after you edited it? Keep in mind that if you give only one apn and it is for sprint then this is no longer a gee rom, that's why it shouldn't be included in the rom. Just my 2 cents. but if you can share the xml then us here in the sprint section can replace it before flashing.
Also, whatever you do, do not rename the nfcnci.apk because you will no longer have access to settings for the phone.
EDIT: However, your idea works. I am using 3G, I sent a pic and went on chrome with it. I have EvDo rev a not eHRPD and can confirm it works. You're on a roll today.

Yes, it would be bad if we were deleting all the other carriers' APNs. But editing the APNs within system settings as I described does not alter or delete anything from the APN xml files in /system/etc/, it sits on top of those somehow. And also, though I didn't show this, the only APNs I am proposing to remove are unnecessary Sprint APNs (not other carriers). I am experimenting with editing apns-conf.xml in order to try to get it up and running from first boot and I will post the edited xml if it works.

I see. I thought you meant to place only one APN in the ROM file. But what I did was use APN manager and add the information you provided as a new APN. Thanks for the settings info BTW.
Does anybody know if "start thermald" in any spot of android terminal emulator is OK or do I need special permissions or to be in a certain folder. I typed that and pressed enter but nothing happened visually.
No luck on incorporating the APN into the XML file. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Try again tomorrow.
On the bright side, I realized you can fire up the APN settings menu over ADB, so you can complete the setup without WiFi or LTE...if you have access to a computer with the Android SDK installed.
Is the included kernel the only one we can use? I can't live without s2w2 (my power button is almost unresponsive at this point....)
sorry for the question...how did you get working data and wifi? we are porting the L for htc one (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-android-l-developer-preview-htc-one-t2812816) but even if the libril-qc-qmi-1.so is working we have unknown baseband and so no sim reading...any help? ^^
Has anyone been able to set a text alert other than the default hangouts alert? I tried and when it is anything other than default I don't get anything. I tried a bunch. I even tried another sms app and tried disabling and enabling notifications but I still get no alert.
Here is what I tried:
1) changing default = no notification sound
2) using different SMS app, no changes to settings of hangouts = no notification sound
3) disabling notifications in hangouts and still using other app = no notification sound

I have tested with a lot of clean flashes and replacing apns-conf.xml before first boot and it is totally inconsistent as to whether I get data or not. Yesterday I got LTE on a clean flash of release11 with no changes, today I do not. So I am sticking with the manual edit of the APNs in system settings after boot as the recommendation to get data working.
Now, onto MMS. Anyone having success with MMS send or receive? If you do please post your APNs. Again, you can view these by running in terminal "am start -n com.android.settings/com.android.settings.ApnSettings". There are also APNs viewable within Hangouts that might help.

I have sent a few using whatever is defaulted in hangouts and by adding the information you provided to my system and setting as default (active). But I used an apn manager to do it.
I haven't had anyone send ME an mms yet so I'm not sure. I will ask someone to and report back.

Mine sits and then eventually fails. It took quite some time to even receive the message that there is one to download but once it got to my phone and I chose download it wouldn't.
I chalked it up to having bad reception, but now that I am not the only one it could be setting/rom related.
On another note, on release 3 I have a baseband, but when I flash 11 over it the baseband goes away and I get tons of FCs and the appearance of random UI restarts. It flashes and doesn't want to load the notification bar.
