[Q] Will Google Play Edition Roms Work On Verizon? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Subject kind of says it all. Since the Google Play Edition phones don't work on Verizon, does that mean that if I have a Verizon S4 I can't flash a Google Play Edition Rom? Or will it work fine?
Thanks

It's been ported, so there are a couple latent issues. However, they're mostly cosmetic. It's fast, light, and everything basically works. TouchWiz camera is a work-in-process right now, but it's getting there.

They work perfectly fine. Dubbsys ge rom runs is working fine.
Ir blaster works and runs smooth as hell.

Very cool. Thanks! How do the radios work since Verizon is on CDMA, which isn't apart of Google Edition Rom? Was it added after the fact or handled in the kernel? Sorry for the noob-ness of the question...just trying to understand.

Our baseband (radio) stays the same from ROM to ROM unless the ROM flashes its own radio (most don't). To make the GE ROM work with our phone, the devs had to modify quite a few files. At first they weren't able to get the signal bars to display correctly (they were always empty,) but that has since been resolved. I am currently running Dubbsy's Odex version of GE with the stock TouchWiz MDK kernel and ME7 baseband. If that's unclear to you, basically the modifications were made within the ROM for compatibility with CDMA/LTE and our individual phones can utilize the same kernel/radio as other TouchWiz ROMs.

[Q] ICS ROMs: 3.11 base vs 3.14 base?

I upgraded my Rezound last week to Nils' ICS ROM because it was the only ICS ROM I saw that said it was based off the latest RUU (3.14.605.5, I believe). All the other ICS ROMs I saw seemed to be based off the previous RUU (3.11.something).
Now I'm just wondering, are there any known differences between those 2 RUUs that really make it matter which one is the base, when I'm looking at ICS ROMs to load?
In other words, is it really legit to only be looking for ROMs based off the latest RUU? Or does it totally not matter? Or is it even possible that the 3.11 RUU is better for some reason and I would actually be better off to use a ROM based on 3.11?
I like the 3.14 because you can have different lockscreen shortcuts than what you have on your Rosie homescreen dock. Apart from that not much changed...I think 3.11 is better for gsm folks...but Verizon seems to be adding stock gsm functionality later this year
Edit....here's what the last 2 leaks added.
3.14 changelog/fixes
*Lock screen shortcut settings separated from launcher bar shortcuts
*3G/4G icon displayed prior to entering decryption password
*Hidden menu (*#*#4636#*#*) removed
*Messages application – wrong sender displayed on occasion
*IPv6 solicitation timer value change
*New radios
3.11 changelog/fixes
* Facebook force close when you tap a video album
*Roaming charges when in Canada & Mexico
*Resets
*"Android updating" message on power up
*Camera not launching
*Hotspot turning off after 10 minutes
*Exchange mail account removed after FOTA
*Car dock limiting charging current
*"Set Current Date" popping up frequently
*BUA+ (multiple issues)
Flash player removed
*OTA over incorrect APN
*OTA SW update time
*Camera dark when using Facelock
*Text field difficult to read

So it's really just the short list under 3.14 that are the differences between it and 3.11, right? Which is mostly no big deal - unless the updated radios are actually better in real world usage.
But, I assume if that's the case, somebody running either one could flash the radios from the other, right? Or, more to my original point, I could run a ROM based on 3.11 and then flash the radios from 3.14, right?
In which case, there's no real reason to worry about which of those two bases a ROM is built on. Or so I'm gathering...

Correct on all accounts... I had 3.14 radios and used 3.11 rims without issue. Now I am trying nils Rom based on 3.14 no issues..didn't notice much with radios and battery...probably will get changed again when ota comes next month or so.

We all sure do have different ideas of what awesome is. LOL! To me, the first requirement of Awesome is everything works. Especially basics like Bluetooth and WiFi. Eye candy is completely irrelevant (to me), until everything works.
That said, I've been running Nils' v4.1 for over a week now and am very pleased with it.

+1 on all accounts!
I think a better way to look at it would be if there are any real issues with the 3.11 base that are resolved with the 3.14 base. It seems like most ROMs never updated to the 3.14 base so I assume no.
Maybe a dev can answer this question since they have a better idea of the changes within the base.

[Q] About to buy a Note, radios for jb roms?

Hi,
I am going to buy a galaxy note today to use on Wind mobile (aws network). Are there only compatible radios to make the phone work for gingerbread and ics or are there radios that would work on jellybean roms as well? I did a quick search and couldn't find anything but I might have missed it so maybe someone can let me know.
Also I've heard the jb based roms like cm10 etc are unstable, they crash and restart and stuff. Are there fixes for these problems?
Thanks!

I know how to flash the radios, I've done it for gb and ics roms for a friend. I am wondering if there are specific radios for jb roms or if you could use the same ones.
Also about the roms - I flashed liquid smooth for my brother on his note and it crashed and rebooted a LOT, and he didn't want to try any more roms because of the bad experience he had. Is this the problem with all cm10 based roms?
So stuck on Cm10 ROMs, with all other goodies in the Android Development thread? IMHO, the answer is right there in my signature, but..just don't limit yourself to Cm10. Why?

Well not cm10, but cm10 based roms so pretty much anything that is 4.1+. Do they all crash and reboot? I know ics roms are at least more stable if not fine but I'd prefer to use jb over ics, if possible. The Blackstar X rom in your signature is ics based right? I'm not limiting myself but just wondering if jb is stable enough yet.
My main question is if I can run jb roms and use the Note on Wind mobile, and if so which radios to flash. If I can't do that then I'll only be able to use ics roms so of course that's what I'll have to work with.
Just buy the t-mobile version of the note and unlock it. It will work on Wind perfectly with stock rom and modem.

Yes. The link I posted on PAGE 1 is the answer, pretty much sure of that. (They should work regardless of a JB ROM, but heads up on ROMs that include a modem/radio.

So there's no distinction between gb/ics radios and radios that would work on a 4.1+ rom? That's all I'm asking. And regarding searching for answers - I've searched multiple times and I have not found a straight answer, either they are half-fixes or people disagree and still have the issue. That's why I posted this. Just looking for a straight up answer if it exists.

Don't know what you're trying to show me here. The different Note models? I know about those, but only the i717 works with aws does it not?
I know you're trying to help but maybe you're misunderstanding me - I already know how to flash the radios, I know that I need to flash a gingerbread radio to get aws working on gingerbread roms and the same for ics. My question is, is there something different I need to do to get aws working on jellybean roms (whichever rom it may be, not just CM10), or what? The point of me asking is so that I can know if my phone would work or not using a jellybean rom, I won't waste my time buying it and then being forced to use ics if jellybean roms are THAT unstable (without fixes) and if there's no aws compatibility. Saves me time and helps me make my decision.
That's all I'm asking. If you do know the answer, please help, but pointing to threads that don't have the answer or telling me to search vaguely does not help. Thanks
Yes, I've pointed you to the answer, yes, as many yes ways as yes possible. But to truly find yes for yourself you have to READ.
As far as (AWS) - Wind- Moblicity- T-Mobile are working for the i717 Note, and I have tried it just because I felt like trying it. Sadly, you stated, cheer up, the i717 is the T-Mobile Note, albeit without the required modem from my first reply.
BLACKSTAR X-SGH-I717 xda-developers app
The modem software you can flash will work for any Galaxy phone from Samsung. And it does not matter which rom you use. The modem software is for the phone hardware not for the rom
The BEST experience would be to use the t-mobile version of the note on Wind Canada.
The LESSER experience is the i717 with any rom and usually the Blaze radio (this modem software is pulled from a t-mobile Blaze 4G phone).
I have read a lot of happy comments from Blaskstar rom ICS users with their t-mobile expeience.

Custom ROMs for the One Series

I just got the HTC One for T-Mobile last week. It is already rooted and all that fun stuff, but there is nothing in the Development section. I'm assuming that's because you can use any ROM in the HTC m7 section with any other variant of the phone? How does that affect the radio and things like LTE? I'm interested because the last thing I saw showed the new(est) update included a lot of improvements for the camera, but show no signs of being available OTA for T-Mobile anytime soon.
Yeah, we'll eventually get some devs for our phone specifically. In the meantime, you can indeed flash the international ones. Doesn't affect signal or anything because that's part of the radio, which is completely independent of the ROM. Do a backup, flash a ROM, and enjoy

Wifi Calling with Revolution HD?

Hi guys,
I have a T-Mobile HTC One and last night I unlocked, rooted, and flashed ARHD 30.0. I used to have the capability of Wifi calling, which T-Mobile offers for free. For those of you unfamiliar who may be familiar with a substitute, this feature allows users to call and text over Wifi, which is especially useful when service is unavailable.
Ever since I flashed the ROM, this feature doesn't show up in my settings. Does anyone know of a substitute that has the same or similar features? Also, does anyone know of the newest Revolution ROM that includes this capability? I'd like the newest possible ROM.
Thanks
I believe when T mobile release 4.3 for the One the devs will be able to include wifi calling in their ROMs. I don't know of any alternatives. 4.3 is supposed to go out on Monday so it shouldn't too much longer...
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
OK great. So you think it should be available in the next couple of weeks? Does Mike make these ROMs specifically for different carriers or is it a one ROM fits all kind of thing?
Also, if I flash a newer ROM, do I lose all my data on my phone? And if so, is there a way to backup and restore everything including my apps and settings?
I'm pretty new to this. Thanks for your help.
If you're on 4.1.2 right on you're going to get some annoying problems when first updating.
You'll most likely just want to do a complete wipe of your entire phone. (backup what you need)
There is a adb command you can run, check the trickdroid website there's a tutorial.
If we get an update Monday, Wi-Fi calling should be added relatively quickly to the existing ROMs. Like a day or two.

Ok great. Will the new Revolution HD ROM have a different version number? I just want to make sure I don't miss it. And when it is released, where will be the first place it will be announced? I'm very anxious to get my W-Fi calling back, since I have poor reception at school and work, but Wi-Fi is more readily available.

FYI, Insertcoin 5.0-5 incorporated the latest T-Mo update, and now has working Wi-fi calling on T-Mobile. ARHD will likely upgrade soon too, but these roms are somewhat similar and Insertcoin runs great. Here's a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279766
Hmm. I may have to try InsertCoin if Mike doesn't update his ROM. He just released a new version of ARHD (31.0) and it doesn't say anywhere that he's added WiFi calling. So I'm not sure if he is planning on doing it in the next couple of weeks or if he's just going to forget about it.

I bit the bullet and tried insert coin, not too impressed compared to trickdroid although it's probably just due to my ignorance.
No back4menu baked in
Seems a bit sluggish compared to trickdroid, which was already noticibly slower than when I first flashed it months ago
Didn't remove all the bloat I asked it to
Didn't allow my play store apps to auto d/l (weird one - tried two flashes and no dice, tried a different 4.3 rom and all my apps came right back)
That said, it is 4.3 with wifi calling but I'm still rolling back to 4.1.2 for now and sending trickdroids guy 10$ on paypal with a note about wifi calling

Hmmm I came from Trickdroid, then ARHD and have stayed on Insertcoin; zero lag here and no problems auto downloading apps at all. Also Xposed mods work too. But, everyone has their rom preferences, so good luck!
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. behold_this's ROM looks promising, but I messaged mike and he said wifi calling "will come" so I think I'm going to hold off for a few more weeks and hopefully he'll have made the ROM by then.
:laugh: Good to know im actually looking for a rom with wifi calling since i dont have great coverage where i live. ill check the mentioned roms out, although was really interested on pacman rom
I will be keeping an eye out for this as well. I sent a PM to the developer for AR HD a day or so ago asking, but no response yet.
I'm no developer, but this seems like it would be pretty simple and quick to implement the WiFi calling feature from the stock T-Mobile ROM which came out almost three weeks ago. I'm really surprised it isn't out yet, especially as he seems to know that people are waiting for it. Then again, most of us aren't paying him for his work. I just don't know how much longer to wait... I seem to have terrible service and WiFi all the time.

It's not as easy as you might think. To implement Wi-Fi calling into a rom the base HAS to be the tmobile base. It's not as easy as ripping an apk out.

Best MDK Rom out there at present?

Hey guys, I've been fresh on a stock and unrooted build over the past several months (no headaches anymore!) and recently, an acquaintance of mine was willing to give me his Galaxy S4 which to my delight was still on MDK. I've been out of the scene and flashing in general for the past five months, and I know that there's this Lollipop business right now, but what is the best ROM for the MDK S4 at this point?
I've heard that Cyanogenmod 12.1 and lollipop builds in general are having a host of problems with bluetooth, the GPS (which I actually very much need), and battery drain. What is an acceptable ROM in your guys' honest opinion that can be used as a very solid daily driver (hopefully on Lollipop, willing to use KK though) that has GPS and bluetooth?
Thanks in advance!
Another CM12.1 tidbit. If your new to you MDK S4 is the Verizon variant, the compass is borked, too. If it's any other carrier users say it works.

This, however navigation still works for directions I know what direction I am looking at and moving in most of the time.
Hyperdrive is also a fan favorite but is currently on KK. I was using Dan's GPE lollipop ROM but switched back because I couldn't get Netflix to run over mobile data. If that doesn't bother you, I recommend that to you.

That is because orientation is determined by GPS when moving, not by the compass.
It is now a moot point as invisiblek fixed the compass in CM 11, 12.0, & 12.1 two days ago.
So nice to see the compass and all third party apps that rely on it work properly again.

Which lollipop roms are fully working with no major connectivity issues now? Was thinking of trying cyanogen 12.1, but noticed its not officially released. Is this stable enough to use everyday? If not, are there other 5.x roms I should consider?
