I have found that all SCH-i535 (d2vzw) ROMs run on the SCH-S968C (Straight Talk) without issues. I was wondering if this applied to any other devices? I have a friend with a d2cri, and he wants to install a custom ROM, but we can't find anything really about that device. Can it run d2att ROMs? or d2vzw? Can my "now d2vzw" run d2att roms? or only CDMA ones?

The ROM has to be made for the phone you want to use. D2att phones can't boot d2vzw ROMs and vica versa. There's an exception though if the ROM developer makes the ROM compatible across multiple phones. ROMs made for the international version of the phone are in this category as well.
I am trying using a dualboot tool I just ran into
I don't know why every single d2vzw rom I've tried has worked on mine then... no exceptions? I am about to try dualbooting a d2lte rom or something, whichever I find first... (that isnt lineageOS)
If the phones are similar, then yes ROMs for one will work on the other IF the dev programmed it as such and from what you said looks to be the case since you booted d2vzw ROMs on a straight talk phone. I think straight talk is owned by Verizon anyway.
Ok. How to port to d2cri?

I think a d2att rom will work fine for you. You might have to edit the asserts to get TWRP to flash one, though.
As mentioned above, d2vzw roms have worked on d2att too, but you typically have to follow up by flashing d2gsm ril blobs if you want phone functions to work.
Just never ever flash anything for an i9300 on a d2 variant. The international version is an Exynos chipset and roms for it will wreck the Snapdragon phones.

Can roms, specifically from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1960 be installed on the T-Mobile GN2? If so, are there any modem / radio issues with the latest TMo radio or is there a better N7105 radio that should be used / recommended?
For the most part yes. I'd stick with roms from AT&T version however. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1875
If you see a ROM on AT&T version, and also see it on the t0lte (international LTE), then I'd presume it be safe to install the international lte version.
Personally I've only tested PAC and Rootbox. Anything else on t0lte that you try is all on your own
But generally speaking, as long as the t0lte rom you installed does not include the modem, it's good to go. Just don't go flashing the GT-N7100 ones; only GT-N7105 if you don't want the AT&T roms.
t0lteatt YES
t0lte MAYBE
For kernel, most people would recommend NEAK and you can find that in the GT-N7100 forum.

Thanks, that is what I assumed. I actually have installed the Carbon t0lte rom before (late night, wasn't paying attention) without issue and worked fine, never have installed a t0lteatt rom.
With that said, there seemed to be more dev options on the international variant so I was curious. I saw conflicting answers in a search so figured I'd ask again. If I do take the plunge, I'll report back with the end result.
Forgot to add, I would stay away from the international GT-N7100 touchwiz based roms though as some people say the kernels they use may have issues with US variants.

Agreed. There are hardware differences on the N7100 compared to the N7105 I have read about.
Only plan on using 7105 variants moving forward.
Hey, I am new to the forum and this is my first post so the first thing I want to say is HI! I hope to become very active here in the future.
Firstly, I'm pretty new to android and I need someone to clear something for me, Currently I want to install the PAC rom to my T-Mobile galaxy s4, the model number shows up SGH-M919.
I was looking around and I came across this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295673
Further scrolling down, I came across this download link: http://d-h.st/mrL
I downloaded this file but I'm not sure if this is compatible with my phone. T-Mobile SGH-M919, I'd rather not brick my phone.
Can someone please aid me in the process of making sure that this rom is compatible with my device?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You COULD use that as long as you download the correct kernel from here. Or, if you want to skip trying to find the right kernel, you could use this ROM, which is the exact same thing, just built specifically for the m919. The biggest thing to remember is to not flash anything meant for the i9500 (the octa-core version of the S4). Other carrier's S4 ROMs though, just use a T-Mobile M919 kernel and you're good to go. If you don't feel like adventuring outside of the (mostly) absolute safe ROMs, just don't click outside of the current section you're in.

I will use the new link with the one designed for the M919 for safety.
Also, I have a question about kernels.
Can you just flash them the same way you do with roms through CWM recovery?
Are kernels and ROMS interchangeable? EX: Kernel A comes with ROM A and kernel B comes with ROM B, Kernel X is stock. Will kernel B And X work with ROM A?

1: Yes.
2: Kinda. As I said, you can flash any S4 ROM (minus the i9500 octa-core); just be sure to use the T-Mobile kernel. The only place you will find kernels (on XDA anyway) for the T-Mobile S4 is at that link I provided. To expand, you have to realize that each ROM is either going to be TouchWiz (stock) based or AOSP (CM, ParanoidAndroid, etc) based. The ROM's OP should tell you which they are based upon. Most of the kernels at that link are for either TouchWiz 4.2 (which would be stock TouchWiz or Google Edition 4.2.2), TouchWiz 4.3 (which would be the Google Edition 4.3), AOSP 4.2.2 (which would be CM-10.1 based), or AOSP 4.3 (which would be CM-10.2 based). As long as you match the correct kernel for the correct version of whatever ROM you want to use you will be good.
One comforting fact is that if you happen to forget to flash a TMO kernel (or flash the wrong TMO S4 kernel) after flashing, say, a ROM from the AT&T forum, you're not going to do any sort of permanent damage. You will just be unable to boot. Just go back into recovery, wipe everything, and start over; no harm done.

Thank you very much for your help.
I think I have a better understanding of kernels now, before I only knew how they worked and the way they communicated between hardware and software, etc.
Have a nice night!
So I've done some searching in the forum (on phone) and wondered if anyone else is having an issue flashing roms other than stock rooted.
I've tried all kinds of other roms cm, miui, liquid smooth, et cetera, and they all get stuck at boot. This is a new thing because I've run all these roms in the past.
I'm on moar 6.1 and it's a great Rom, but I'd like the option to change roms at some point...
You are naming AOSP roms. If you have a newest S3, please try with an updated version. Start with SlimBean build 2( exactly that one) because it's confirmed to work with newest models.

Dude....it wasn't the ROM's fault at all, nor the phone's....it was the loose nut behind the wheel....me.
I forgot (have been forgetting) to format data. For whatever reason, I was manually formatting just the minimums. DANGIT! Works like a charm now...or rather I'm working like a charm now.
Thanks anyway.
Hadn't been over there in quite a while, but the N7105 forums have some sweet ROMs if you're looking for a change that should work fine on our phones...
Currently running "CM Remix" which has everything but the kitchen sink for an AOSP rom, and so far seems very smooth and stable

They should all be safe to flash. Same hardware on the internal LTE variant.
The build.prop and APNs may vary slightly, but many of the ROMs in this forum are exactly the same as their international versions anyway

By checking for a modem in the zip as the n7105 modem isn't compatible with AT&T or t-mobile. If modem is in the zip I usually just replace with proper modem for your carrier.

No since it's AT&T you will need an AT&T modem in the phone as any other modem will cause an unknown baseband.

Still running the ROM I mentioned in the OP, and it has too many features and too few flaws (none!) for me to try any other!
New build made yesterday - gonna try that, though
BTW, didn't have to change anything to get it optimized for the ATT model- even the APNs were all set up (unless maybe I restored settings that I wasn't aware of)...
1st Nov 2014 (ver 3.0.5.0 STABLE Fix)
Kernel : bundled with latest agni kernel ( Boeffla Sound version with new wifi module)
Update SuperSu to ver 2.16
native support to F2FS (no need to flash any convertor, native support F2FS partition of System. Internal data and Cache partition)
Fixed ART mode * (1 st Nov 2014)

Looks like a great rom!. I'm assuming this rom is ok to flash for any LTE variant (Bell) since it doesn't include a modem?

Should be fine! Just back up as you always would with TWRP and make sure you backup the modem as well. That way you'll always have one backed up if you need it just in case...
Yep, as long a modem isn't included in the zip (which it *typically* isn't in the case of AOSP based roms), you're good to go.
I personally don't even flash t0lteatt roms when they're available and instead use their t0lte counterparts, as the t0lte versions are sometimes more likely to be updated more often (and in some cases the t0lteatt device tree has been abandoned entirely!)
And if anyone's wanting to build a rom from source, while we're on the topic of AOSP roms, the t0lte tree is the way to go as far as the Galaxy Note 2 LTE models are concerned.

What reminded me to check the international forum was when I went to deactivate my old phones in Google Play Music, I noticed most of them were listed as an N7105- and all of the ROMs were downloaded from this forum anyway...
I was wondering about trying Roms from that forum too. I kept seeing posts where someone said something about a DN4 Rom. So I looked it up and downloaded..........only to find that it is not one of the Roms that works on our phone.......as of yet. It did flash and start up, but before I could make it past the welcome screen, I got a bunch of pop-ups about various items "quit working." And they kept coming back. And then I had the unknown baseband with no signal.................basically it just doesn't work. Damn shame too, cause it looked so nice. But this did make me look at the other Roms and I will be trying a few of them. I must say though, DN4 had my mouth watering for the GN4 experience on my 2.

Hello guys! So I just had a quick question about the t0ltetmo ROMs from CyanogenMod. I asked on their Facebook page but some jack off that "works for CyanogenMod" was just rude as hell, and called me stupid. So does anyone know if CyanogenMod unified the t0lte ROM and is safe for flashing on other variants? The t0ltetmo, t0lteatt etc. Thanks guys! And if you could, send me a link where they announced that? I saw the post that said they were going to make a unified ROM but they never posted and said it was done. Thanks all!
From my experience if you see t0lte, t0lteatt, t0ltetmo, N7105, it should be fine to install if your device is any of those you just may happen to flash a modem afterward if the ROM includes one and it isn't your device.
In short, it's safe.

Thanks! So even if the ROM wasn't unified, it has no way of bricking my phone real bad? If it doesn't work, it can be restored with a backup? Cuz yea, I have the t-mobile version, and the ROM I'm talking about was made for the international. It MAY be unified, not sure.
