UPDATE - Do not bother with these instructions. They do not work as intended. Too many different results.
Unlocked R800X - run Sony ICS stock beta as a daily driver on your R800X - the easy way
This is purposed for the stock R800i rom to run on the R800X. Since the information is somewhat scattered in the threads I thought I would bundle it with instructions to help other R800X owners that want to use a completely stock rom with root. This assumes you have an unlocked R800x and know how to get fastboot working. Everything seems to work except MMS.
First a disclaimer...
-I did not create anything here so credit truly goes to Doomlord, Chevyowner, Sony, Google and anyone that contributes to XDA
-This is intended for informational purposes only. Although I hope it works for you, I really dont care if your phone goes up in smoke so use at your own risk.
Now lets have fun!
1) I gathered all the files you will need from XDA and Sony for this:
2) Extract the contents of the above file to c:\ICS using winrar
3) Copy all the *.zip files from the above folder to your phone's SD card
4) Boot device into fastboot mode. With the device off, hold the magnify glass button while connecting the usb cord. If all goes well you see a blue led. If not search forum about your fastboot problems.
5) Flash doomlord's ics beta kernel via fastboot. (this is so we can install from zip and also roots the new rom)
fastboot flash boot c:\ics\doom-ics.img
6) Boot to CWM - keep pressing the magnify glass button right after powering on the device
7) Wipe cache, data, dalvik cache and reboot
8) Boot device to fastboot again
9) Flash sony beta rom files (takes a while so be patient)
fastboot flash system c:\ics\system.img
fastboot flash userdata c:\ics\userdata.img
10) Boot to CWM - keep pressing the magnify glass button right after powering on the device
11) 'Install from zip' all the zip files you copied to your device earlier. Including gapps, doomlords ics boot animation, and cdma
12) Flash stock kernal (fix wifi without loading modules)
fastboot flash boot c:\ics\boot.img
13) To get cell data working - go to settings, xperia, internet settings and click accept
Hope this helps someone. Good luck!
Followed the steps on my R800x, boots, wifi works and runs pretty smooth. Phone crashes after I hit the call button. SMS appears to work, MMS doesn't, even after adding the Verzion APN in settings.
Going to Settings>Xperia>Internet Settings doesn't appear to do anything after hitting apply, mobile data isn't working and calls crash. Haven't tested any games yet though. Are there any steps I might have missed?
Edit: Even though the phone force closes, the call connects and the other party can hear my voice, but there's no way to hang up or any indication that there's a call going on. The Wifi indicator flashes on and off until the phone is rebooted or the call is dropped.

Thanks, but were you aware that calls were going through and the microphone works? you just can't hear the other party or see anything indicating the phone was on, but the other party can hear you and they get a call notification.

Don't forget that only the other party can hang up or do anything else in the phone call. Works great for leaving voicemail!

Sorry there is trouble.
Again all I did here was attempt to bundle everything that's already available to make it easier. I assumed what I did would work for everyone.
Since I wrote the instructions from memory I should go through them again to see if I missed a step.
My data works fine as well as 3g notification.
My phone app does occasionally get that error but calls and hangs up ok.
Personally I prefer the stock kernel and stock wifi modules because I get way better battery life in standby. Other roms/kernels I was only getting 5 hours and with ics beta with stock kernel I get over 24 hours.
Do you think baseband versions matter here causing different device behavior for data and phone issues?
Please help me, i'm on step 6 and having an impossible time booting to CWM, and am now stuck in a bootloop since flashing doomkernal

Instead of flashing DooMLorD's ICS kernel in step 5, try flashing the three .img files from the official beta, then try this in fastboot mode. It will boot you to recovery instead of flashing it, where you can flash all the .zip files in step 11 onwards. No need to do step 12.

I clicked Thanks, not because this works - it doesn't - but because you at least made the attempt to be helpful in gathering everything together in one place. Step 13 in particular has never seemed to work for me on Verizon.
The facts about the Sony ICS Beta and the R800x are simply these:
Sometimes, some people, for some UNKNOWN reason, will manage to get everything working almost perfectly. At one point, I had working calls and data, downloaded and installed apps over 3G, the works. Then I booted into recovery and made a backup, thinking to share a working Nandroid...
Well, guess what? Not only did it not work for anyone else, it stopped working for me too. I have tried everything to recreate my former success, with -ZERO- success.
At this point, to my knowledge, NO ONE has found a way to make calls AND 3g data work at the same time, as one would expect it to, in any repeatable manner. Maybe calls, sort of; maybe 3G data for browsing, but not for downloading from the market; rarely both at the same time, and never what one would call a daily driver.
In short, right now, the closest thing we R800x users have to a usable ICS is CyanogenMod 9 by FXP and further modified by paxChristos, AGraceful and others. It's something to bide our time with until one of these genius kids on here finally figures it out. As for Verizon and Sony go, it will probably be a long time coming, if ever, regardless of projected release dates to the contrary.
Having said all that... I think I might wipe my phone and try it all again today!
netizenmt... I agree. I have tried going back & forth between GB and ICS and as much as I love the look and feel of ICS at this point I cant use it beyond just playing around with it as CDMA and 3G are not working. For me I have to have this. I dont mind testing a ROM and or a CDMA patch but for me to have no calls at minimum I cant go without. I watch this threa daily and hope that a Super Genius will find a solution. Becuase I know 2 things. When Sony releases the ICS rom for our PLAYS it will NOT be for Verizon users as Verizon would need to release the ICS version or at least a CDMA but the chances of that happening.. I have a better chance of being the next leader of Middle Earth (yes L of the Rings pun) before Verizon gives a monley butt about our phone. I do work next to a corporate office for Verizon and I do have friends that work there but they are not high enough on the food chain to make a mouse squeek. All in all we R800x users are at the whims of the awesome devs here. And for their efforts I salute you..... the CDMA patch may have us at the moment but I know given time something will happen. Keep positive peeps.

Yes, it is both extremely puzzling and annoying how it works for one person one way, another way for someone else, then it quits working... it's like something "intelligent" is in there messing it up for us... That sounds so paranoid, but I don't know how to explain it otherwise.

UPDATE This is the MX2-Beta1 Done by DKZ. I am pasting the post Lrs121 did later in the forum (P.13) I am just posting it here to stay Current!
-below Lrs121 post their is my original post to help with flashing if you need it. Flashing should be the same. Included in Lrs121 post their is a wifi patch that DKZ applied.
Enjoy!
Lrs121
Here it is! CM9 Beta1 Download links.
THANK YOU AND ALL CREDIT GOES TO DragonzKiller For all the work hes put forth
Read entire post before flashing. Its long i know but worth reading.
Known issues for mx2 cm9beta1 without data wipe (comes from my experience with it)
Includes same issues for dx2
constant super user request (see fixes/info)
always says updating android durring startup (see fixes/info)
reboot/shutdown hangs (see fixes/info)
restart doesnt work properly (see fixes/Info)
WIFI does not start (SEE FIXES/INFO)
NOTE!!! IF UPDATING FROM ALPHA 4 Wipe DATA CACHE AND FACTORY RESET!!! DATA WIPE FOR ALPHA 5 IS NOT REQUIRED BUT RECOMMENDED!!!
How to install(credit to DZK)
Installation:
Install the BSR (patched if on CM7/CM9)
Reboot into the BSR
NANDROID <--- you'll probably want to go back to this
Install the CM9 zip from the SD Card MX2 Users Go to the MX2 Thread for the Patched CM9 zip once it has been updated to Beta 1
MX2 ONLY! Install the WiFi Driver zip from the SD Card
Install the GAPPS from the SD Card
Wipe both DATA and CACHE (no need to wipe Dalvik if you wipe both of these)
Reboot your phone
Enjoy CM9 Beta 1
Fixes/Info-for flash with out data wipe
Constant superuser requests - Fixed
when it happens - when you open an app that requires su access
Theory - su updated but the app list didnt causing request loops
how to fix - enter play market; go to my apps and uninstall updates for superuser; reinstall updates; open superuser and manually update binaries
Always shows Updating Android - Info
Info - No fix known, however it does not prevent your device from starting. Itll add on a couple seconds to the start time the first few times the phone is turned on after the first startup after flashing. After a few restarts it only takes a split second and it jumps right to the lock screen.
Reboot/Shutdown hangs (note this is occasional) - Info
Info - When rebooting or shutting down the phone will seem to hang with the rebooting/shutting down notification and the spinner is still spinning. The phone will become unresponsive to button input; that is normal for the shutdown and restart routiens.
Fix - None however the phone should reslove it fairly quickly the longest ive seen it hang is a minute or two then it shuts down or restarts properly. if it lasts longer than that i recomend a battery pull.
Restart doesnt work properly - Info
Info - this usually happens when the restart hangs. the phone will determine that the restart is taking too long and will force shutdown the device. The device will not start back up AUTOMATICALLY. Just turn on the the phone normally as if you had told it to shutdown instead of restart.
WIFI Does not start - info/fix hybrid
Info/Fix - after flashing the rom and the wifi fix, the wifi may or may not turn on/connect durring the first start up, restart the phone. After the first restart the wifi should turn on but be delayed in connecting, wait for it to connect or say its connecting and then restart the phone. afterward there should be no problem with the wifi. if you are still having problems you may need to reflash everything.
Will Update post as soon as the second mirror is up

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DKZ Came out with CM9 for the Droid X2. I tried to flash it and it did not work.
I did some modifying on his file, which he created, to see if I could get it to load in the Milestone X2. We are running a different kernel then the Droid X2.
I wanted to let everyone know that it was a success! With Several hours in trying to locate certain files and modifying them we have
CM9 FOR THE MILESTONE X2
I am in no means taking credit for DKZ's work. He did a fantastic job!
Problems I have seen so far are:
WIFI (working with DKZ to work)
Camcorder
Have not tested
HDMI
Radio
MMS
What works
Data
Text
Call
Touch screen
GPS
Camera*New
Theme's are suppose to work.
The transitions are smooth and I have not had any issues with freezing or anything yet.
When I loaded I came from stock 2.3.6 Rooted
Instructions.
1. Root phone on (how to do that Click Here)
2. Place BSR on memory card
3. Install BSR
4. Load BSR
5. Hit install Button
6. Click Recovery Mode
7. Do a backup
8. Wipe Factory Settings
9 Wipe Cache Settings
10. Go to Advance Settings
11. Go Wipe Devlik Cache
12. Select Go Back
13. Select Install from SD Card
14. Go to the place you put the ROM zip and choose install
15. GO back and install GAPP apps.
16. Wipe Factory and Cache one more time
17. Reboot phone
18. Install BSR Patch (link Below)
19. Enjoy Goodness!
To go back to backup copy.
1. Install Patched BSR
2. Select install
3. Select REcovery Mode
4. Select "Back up and Restore
5. Select Restore
6. GO to area restore was saved

Did it work for you?
We're not going to have any wifi as long as we're using ics from the 2.3.4 kernel...well at least those of us who don't have a working sbf

So us Cspire users don't have a working sbf? Have you tried this yet? I was just about to do it before I read what you wrote lol
If you guys want WIFI working. All you have to do is ask. I know how to make it work for you guys if the ROMs are actually running.
EDIT: I am going to need a few things from you guys first. And I am going to need one of you guys to get me the SBF for your phone so I can get them. If I have it, I can make one that works (at least for that specific SBF, maybe the others).
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
is this essentially for x2 owners that are not with verizon?
Below is the SBF for ntelos wireless running 2.3.6. That is the current sbf for that network and phone.
I did want to say that the firmware of 418 that was just recently released is the same as the Milestone X2. Eclipse made his new rom,2.2, based on this update and the wifi works. I do not know if this helps.

Are you going to use my version I posted up their? I just took out the kernel checks.
Thank you DKZ!

This is for Milestone X2 owners. We had issues isntalling CM7, MIUI, and CM9 with their release because we have a different kernel. So I modified DKZ original file so we can enjoy this one as well! They will not flash unless a few things are modified. This has been modified so MX2 customers can still enjoy the same things as DX2 customers.
I'll just make a patch that you guys can use.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
Awesome!
Here is the patch the *should* work to get wifi working. I have NOT tested it and I don't even guarantee that it'll even flash. It also doesn't have a kernel check. With that being said, if it does work, I can only guarantee that it'll work with the MilestoneX2 version that was given to me in the SBF. As I know there a few versions out there, I doubt the kernel is the same for all of them. I don't have a MilestoneX2, so I wouldn't be able to check these things.
Wifi patch for the NTELOS MilestoneX2:
REMOVED CUZ IT WAS BAD
Also note that this patch (if working) should work with CM7 as well.
I am flashing it now. I will let you know.
EDIT; It did not work. Gave me a (code 6) error.

One thing I can recommend is if you are on stock use regular recovery. If you are in CM9 then use The Batched Recovery for CM7. As long as you do that you are going to be alright. Also look at the rerecovery.
Thank you,

i'm going to have to look at the firmware needed for it and how it interacts with your drivers. it might take a bit more for me to work out, but I'll try to get it working for you guys.
Would like some help. I have flashed CM 11 and can't make calls. It says mobile network not available. Tried flashing AOKP rom as well and same thing. Mobile data works fine, although i have gotten a popup twice that says 'Google Play Services not supported by your device, please contact your manufacturer' (no noticible issues from this, google stuff i've tried so far works). I have included a screenshot so you can see my baseband and rom version, etc.
Now, i had a great deal of trouble getting a rom flashed to start with, CWM put me into a bootloop and TWRP wouldn't flash anything because it said it couldn't mount /storage when i tried. Used Philz advanced CWM (love it btw, will be using it from now on). Still wouldnt flash the hltespr specific CM11 version so had to use the unified hlte version (it gave me the status 7 asserts issue, but editing the asserts out just gave me a bad file error when flashing). I wiped data/cache/dalvik between each flashing. I don't know if any of that would have bearing on this problem, just including any details i can. Any advice?

Have you upgraded your bootloader to NH7? I know most of the newly-updated CM-based ROMs require you to be on NH7 before flashing. That's most-likely why you weren't able to flash the htlespr ROMs. The unified ROMs no longer include the correct APNs for Sprint, so that's why you don't get service on it. I don't know why mobile data works on it.

No, didnt realize that i needed to do that. I'll do some research on it because i don't have any idea how to update the bootloader. If you have a link to a good tutorial that would be wonderful! Thanks!
Ok so i tried that, found this tutorial, followed it, no luck. Tried full wipe/reset after that to see if it would let me install the hltespr versions, still no dice. Same situation, mobile data works, calls don't. Will have to wait till daylight to try texting so i don't wake anyone up but i suspect that texting won't work either. Has anyone experienced this and fixed it? Lol i really didn't drop $100 on a phone to be saddled with all the Samsung and Sprint baloney that it comes with, don't wanna unroot....
Bump
Anyone have ideas on this? Have continued to try fooling around with the udater-script file to resolve the status 7 problem so I can install the hltespr variant, still no dice. Please someone help!
Bump!
Sorry, I typically don't have access to XDA forums on the weekend, so couldn't answer your question till now.
You flashed only the baseband/modem, not the Bootloader. If you want to update the Bootloader, you need to use ODIN to flash the Complete OTA NH7 Update.
In order to update the Bootloader, you need to make sure that you use the PC ODIN (not the mobile one) and that you completely power off the phone before you enter download mode (don't access download mode by using the extended power menu when shutting down the phone). I don't think you need to do the battery pull that Freeza had in his instructions (I didn't do it when I ODIN-flashed the NH7 OTA update), but it wouldn't hurt to do it.
Thanks for that, I will try it as soon as I get home tonight! The next thing I had decided to try was to unroot, to back to stock, then try flashing that before I start with the custom recovery and ROM. Do you think I should do that first before doing the whole thing or could that work just flashing that with my phone as-is?

Well, I always recommend a full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik) when flashing ROMs. I haven't wiped my internal storage or external storage since I got the phone, so that's not really necessary.
I don't think that unrooting your current ROM is necessary. Flashing the ODIN OTA update will automatically remove root access, so that's not an issue. Here's the steps I took when I updated to NH7 and installed my current ROM (see my sig):
Make a Nandroid backup.
I always do this just so I have a "record" of what I left behind. It also allows me to have all of my app data that I can restore via Titanium Backup (you have to buy the Pro version in order to restore specific apps from a Nandroid backup). I always store a copy on my ext. storage and on dropbox.
Do a full wipe
As I mentioned above, I always wipe data, system, and the caches when flashing ROMs. While I have to take some time to get the new ROM exactly as I like it, it minimizes any potential FCs and errors that some people get when dirty flashing.
Install NH7 all-in-one via ODIN
I installed the NH7 via ODIN. Please note that this is the fully stock, unrooted ROM and will also install the stock recovery.
Let the phone boot and connect to Sprint. Update Profile and PRL.
I do this periodically whenever I go back to stock (from AOSP). I rarely have connection issues, but updating the PRL an profile can help with those.
Install a custom recovery using ODIN.
My recovery of choice is TWRP, but others have found just as much success with CWM and Philz. Just make sure that you're installing the correct version of the recovery (4.4.X version, not the 4.2.X version). I always reboot to the main system after installing a recovery, but that's up to you. In the rest of this post, I'll say "TWRP," but I really mean "custom recovery."
[OPTIONAL] Make a Nandroid backup of the stock ROM
I always do this, but I recognize that it's not necessary, especially since we can just ODIN back to this image at any time. I just like having the option of having a stock backup on the device (in case catastrophe strikes while I'm away from a computer).
Use TWRP to flash your AOSP ROM of choice.
If you haven't installed any apps or messed around with the settings, you shouldn't have to wipe before flashing, but (in case you haven't noticed by now), I tend to err on the side of caution, specifically: wiping everything (data, system, and the caches) before I flash anything.
Set up the ROM how you like it and [OPTIONAL] make one last Nandroid Backup
Whenever I set up a new ROM to the exact way I like it (statusbar settings, accounts set up, apps installed and configured, etc), I make a nandroid backup of my device. This allows me to go back to that "fresh" image whenever something happens to the device and I don't have to muddle around fixing those minor tweaks. Again, I tend to err on the side of wiping the phone too often and taking too many backups, but I've rarely had issues with my phone and ROMs because of it (to the point where I can spend most of my XDA time helping others with their phones), so it might be prudent to follow the advice.
Anyways, that's how I upgraded to NH7 and installed a custom ROM. Others may take a less conservative approach and you're welcome to adjust any of the optional steps.
Hope this helps!

OK, did all that successfully, when it went back to stock stiil had the same issue. Mobile data functions, mobile network for calls/SMS doesn't. Did the whole update prl/profile and even tried reactivating from settings, still nothing. Was able to install custom recovery (Philz) and the hltespr CM11 variant instead of the unified generic version. Still has the same problem, mobile network not available. Everything else works perfectly. I did verify in settings that it still wound up as the NH7 after everything I did. Note I did a full reset before each thing that got flashed in this process, and one more for good measure after. Let it boot to the system between steps too.
Lol I've been rooting and switching between ROMs for years and have never encountered anything like this. I'm stumped....

Dumb question but are you a Verizon customer or Sprint?
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk
Sprint, I've had big red before but when they did away with unlimited data it wasn't worth paying their high rates.
Bump!
Anyone have any ideas on this? I am just confounded as to why this continues even after being reset to stock.
Same Issue!!!
I have the exact same issue and have been trying to resolve it for the last 2 days... Did you find a solution?
I have the same problem on a Samsung Mega. LTE and 3G data work but phone won't dial if LTE is active. It WILL voice dial if only 3G is active. Sprint. CM11.
I had this problem after flashing ROMs as well, but went into Settings>Connections>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Mode and selected LTE/CDMA....no network had been selected. That fixed me right up. Weird part is, I could still avcess the web without WiFi....but couldn't make calls or ise my bluetooth headset until I had performed the above steps. Hope that helps.
thanks forget the little things reset wifi and sprint cell extender

Welcome to wilson3q's CM12 Unoffical Build!
As requested by some users, I started to build cm12 for I605. I don't own a I605, please help to test. If you like my work, you can donate here.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for bad things that happen as a result of flashing this.
My kernel source is standard cm12 kernel without any modifications.

Always nice to see a new thread for i605. This doesn't happen often. Thank you!
Thanks again for building this for us we all appreciate it!
will be testing this out and see how it spars. thanks for this! I was going to try and "port" it over from the t0lte with replacing some libs and such, lol.
Thank you! I'm downloading right now. Looking like a slow day at work, so why not?
Downloaded files. Backed everything up. Rebooted to recovery. Wiped / Factory Reset using TWRP. Installed both zips sequentially. Apprehensive when I rebooted. Took a couple of minutes of sweating watching the CM Logo swirl around, and then bam! I'm up and running Lollipop. I'll update soon...

So, I've got it up and running. It's fast and smooth, but there's a couple of glaring issues stopping me from testing any farther. The first screen that comes up after you initially select your language, is a new (to me) "Activating Cellular Service" screen. It has a message on the screen saying this "can take up to 5 minutes". I let it go for longer than that, but I got an error that it was unable to activate and I was able to try again, or skip it. I'll skip it for now just to see how the rest of the ROM works. Next screen is Wifi login, works fine., but you still have to hit "skip" even after you sign in to wifi.
Then it checks connections, for updates, etc and I keep getting the error that google play services has stopped. I haven't even logged into it yet...
Next screen is Tap N Go. Option to transfer all of your stuff off your old phone using NFC. Great idea, but I'm not testing because my new phone IS my old phone.
Then, it's google login time. Worked fine, standard stuff we're used to with options to download/backup your apps using google. It takes a minute here, and I kept getting popups about all of the google apps stopping, each individually. Annoying a bit... I hit the "RESTORE" option, this is my second try, and the first time I didn't have Root, so I couldn't download Titanium to restore everything. I also skipped the google restore last time, so I tried it this time. This is a new screen for me, but it takes me to a "Restoring" screen for a bit. It's not as annoying as on previous Android versions, having to individually approve each app that was updating/downloading. I keep getting the popups about one Google app or another stopping.
I get past the restore page, and the phone locks up. Reboot... After reboot, I have to go into the play store to download Titanium. It seems quite a few apps were restored by Google, but not all. I looked at the "My Apps" section of the play store, and there's a ton of apps cued up to download. It's what I was trying to avoid... So I hit "Stop" at the top, and it stops them all.
**I mentioned earlier that this is my 2nd try, the first try was about the same, but I didn't have root access. I downloaded SuperSU, but it wouldn't update the binaries, so it was useless. I tried SuperUser, it didn't work either. So, I rebooted to recovery, wiped, flashed the ROM, GApps, and the SuperSU zip I had saved on my SD card from my previous Omni Rom. Then I rebooted and now you can read what happened.
At this point, I'm having problems downloading Titanium Backup, SuperSU, or anything I really want. The Play Store is hanging and force closing. I can't even open the SuperSU I flashed from TWRP. There must be compatibility issues. I read somewhere that Lollipop has issues with root somehow, but I'm not sure. On my first try, I was able to download Titanium Backup no problem, but it wouldn't work because I didn't have root access. SuperSU and SuperUser didn't help after downloading. CM has always been pre-rooted on all of the other devices I've installed it on.
For now, I'm just going to restore my backup of Omni Rom and be content with 4.4.4 for now.
I'll try again if anyone can help with actually being on the VZW Network and Root. I didn't get a chance to play with the other stuff in Lollipop yet, but I would love to.

Giving this a try!! Downloading now
Update- Downloaded and installed without any problems. I did have to skip the network verification set-up as it never went anywhere and wifi set-up worked as with setting up my g-mail account,.
Everything seems good except for no service, baseband version still unknown and no service or apn's for data.
going back to Liquid till this gets updated.

I have to re-flash to Liquid for now so that I have a working phone as I go to work in an hour,

Yes, I flashed the gapps from your post. gapps-lp-20141109 is what the file name was. I use TWRP, not sure if it's the latest but it works fine. I always do the "factory reset" wipe option in twrp, because I believe that's a full wipe with one swipe... Now, just to test it out and see if I was doing something wrong, I tried the Liquid Smooth build (latest nightly) from 1/7, and it loaded and booted just fine. Had to flash the ROM, Gapps, GPS Fix, and Super SU (so I can restore my apps in Titanium). It connected to data, and ran me through the setup in a flash. It's working well enough to be a daily driver. Do you have any other suggestions? I'm willing to help if you want me to try something else.
Going to give this a try. Thank you for giving this phone options. It is greatly appreciated.

I love to flash and then go through a process of testing. I actually got 2 gt-n5110s so I could test a couple builds at same time, kind of a back to back comparison.
I would love to pick up another i650 that still has unlocked bootloader for testing that way on this device as well.
Well back to this rom, I couldn't get past the getting data screen and had to abort. I did a clean flash and wiped everything with both philz and TWRP 2.8.3.0. I tried both stock and shift kernels.
Lets face it, I'm a flashaholic. lol.....

I don't know if you included the Hotspot mod in this but if you use the method of adding the "dun" to the to APN'S through the sqlite editor the Hotspot works fine.

I had 2 Backup to stock ROM because soon as it starts this issue , can't do anything but restore
When I ran this rom seemed good than I couldn't get Bluetooth to pair on my vehicle and than I couldn't get it to show anything on the homepage just the wallpaper and I could pull my notifications down but couldn't get settings to open.
I've been a huge fan of sac_23 on my S4 - sooo excited to try this out
Anybody get it to work?
