Hey all,
I'm headed to Korea this week and I was going to reflash my ROM to allow for GSM data. So I'm looking at the Venasaur (Charmander if it gets released in time) or MIUI. I'd still like to use it on CDMA until I leave, but easily switch it to GSM while in Korea for data usage.
What's the easiest/best of the two to use?
I'm currently on Scott's ICS Dev Edition as I prefer the stock ICS feel. I could put up with a theme for a couple weeks while I'm there though.
Otherwise, I'm using my old Captivate while I'm there as I know that'll work, but the GPS is practically unusable.
Thanks!
Super
Pretty sure you can run GSM on your current rom. Settings>Tweaks>Misc>Phone Info. The antennae selection is on that screen.
You can get gsm on any rom, its sending sms and a couple of other issues that only miui or any sense 4 rom work it out using the gsm fix patch.
I'd say use miui, both cdma and gsm is working out of the box with cdma sms sendung being the only issue.

Data's the big concern. I don't plan on using voice too much, if at all on this trip. I mainly want data for Internet, GPS and translation.
Have people been able to use data without trouble on other ROMs besides those two?

Yeah data is a go but you're probably have to manually set up your APN.

That part I usually expect while I'm abroad. Vodafone in Prague had me up in running with the APN info in under 5 minutes when I was there last.

I would just use vennasour. We know it works and you never know in an emergency what type of service you might need whether it be voice, texts, or data.

I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but I was wondering if Korea uses the same kind of cellular networks as China? I might be going to China. Would be great to keep the rezound and swap sim cards.

Thought the latest ruu from androidpolice (4.03.605.2?) had easy to access global capabilities, but not officially released yet i guess.

That RUU came from the last official update, so it SHOULD work fine. But when you usewords like "perfectly" then all bets are off..
Nils BCS ROM based on 3.6 is supposed to be global. There are probably others tho.

haha, my "perfectly" is not that perfect actually. i just need calling and data works with no problem.
nils roms based on 3.6 and 4.0 have any difference, besides sense version? i hope 4.0 rom is global either.

I'm pretty sure the Sense 4 rom hasn't been updated for global.

I need to know soon, cause I might trade my phone to a guy that is switching carriers from Verizon. My phone is s-off running cleanrom 4.5. What do I need to do?
ICS Rezound.
Read the threads on GSM support.

to what carrier? No hspa support for t-mobile and at&t is wonky at best.
These are not gsm based phones so trying to get them working is a headache.

None, now. But for future reference does 3G and SMS/mms work for t mobile?
ICS Rezound.
Look in the GSM threads, they will tell you.
Flash any sense 4 rom then look up the gsm patch from the GSM thread in the Q&A section, its linked on the first post.
Or you can.just flash the MIUI rom in the dev section, its gsm based and active out of the box.

Or you could check the MIUI thread in the dev section. I think MIUI works out of the box for GSM carriers, except for some data bands.

If you flash MIUI or the SMS fix on a Sense 4 rom, you can get SMS and MMS working on a GSM carrier, but none of the GSM carriers in the united states will get 3G on the Rezound. Including T-Mobile

I would assume so. Cause if I don't have 3G available it won't send.

Look at the address in Settings/Mobile Data/Access Point Names/Internet under MMSC. See if it is an address that makes sense. Like the one for Verizon is: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

you could load rom from international htc one?

There is no WiFi calling on International One roms.
but could you flash them roms? or it'll brick your phone?

Yes. People on AT&T have flashed international roms no problems and it looks like the same for T-Mobile.
Does anyone know if you can flash a ROM from another network being that the phones are virtually identical with the exception of the radios. I am coming from Sprint and loved ViperRom but sadly he is staying with Sprint. I wonder if it would work or would I be looking at a brick if I tried.
It'll brick your phone hard. I came from the evo 4G lte. Viper roms were great but until he comes over or someone ports his roms we're out of luck.
Though a good thing is deck had already moved over to the one so cm10.1 shouldn't be too far away

oh **** i thought you were talking about flashing a viper rom on the ONE haha.
why would you want the international version of the rom on tmobile? bloat? i already got rid of my bloat with TI backup and i get to keep my wifi calling so i dont see that need for that.. sorry not trying to be mean just wondering..

I guess more customization. I want to change the button presses from tap to go home to bring up menu hold to take me home and leave double tap on for recent.. I know it's possible..

Unless it is AOSP based roms all of them will be similar with few tweaks and options. The main advantage is having the latest ruu since carriers take forever.
sense5 keyboard possible on aosp or is being on a sense rom a requirement
also im getting a tmo sim but i have a verizon DNA, anyone else done this, what can i expect and will i have to call verizon to unlock the phone

It relies on the sense framework. So no... Of you tell us what specifically you like about the sense framework then we can probably find you an equal or greater aosp one
Is already unlocked. Just put in the sim

You can probably do it on newt's GPE rom but [email protected] is the only "aosp" rom that it would possibly work on. Reason is that the HTC one Google play edition is really just deskinned sense...

i understand that the sprint n2 data partition is different, but if we changed that mount point within the install script could we feasibly install it and it work after we flashed the config file as well? i know this is probably a dumb question, but it was one that came to my mind after venturing off into the sprint n2 forum. thanks!
Not unless you intend on using your device... I think developers can help put those features on another device, if it isn't for your model, don't flash. You'll save yourself tons of headaches.

i figured so.. damn, i was hoping it was possible by pointing the data mount in updater script to where the i605s data partition is located

Actually, I was reading up this morning about AT&T ROMs on the Verizon Note 2 and it is not only doable, but also works pretty well. When done from what I just said (Flashing AT&T to Verizon) you are obviously locked out from Verizon and 4G LTE but if you have an AT&T or any GSM SIM for that matter it will work. The only real issue is GPS not working, for some reason our devices don't like the GPS setup from any ROM's other than Verizon's.

Some of us have not switched to att from vzw.
Gps not working happens on some unlucky T0ltevzw roms,also.
The end user doesn't want borked modems on lte.
Yes, I know it has an hspa+ modem...

same thing happens with t-mobile too. somehow there has to be a way to get the att/tmo roms working on the i605. the t0lte roms work on the i605, so why the hell won't the att/tmobile?
So can someone confirm or disagree that flash a T-Mobile or International Note2 CM ROM to the Verizon Note 2? Is a good idea if I want to completely shout off the Verizon Radios and only use GSM?
