Thank you very much
The DNA is a global phone, so it has both CDMA and GSM radios. The hardware isn't the question. Most Sense ROMs are globally compatible, and AOSP ROMs require the GSM patch found in the CM10.1 thread. You can also run Sense 5 Android 4.2. Us VZW users can't.
So yes, it will work just fine.

Hello wonderful people!
I have a question for you. I have a Galaxy S4 on US Cellular, rooted, with Team Win recovery and Carbon Rom. On my old S1 and S3, I could run Verizon roms without any issues. However, I've noticed with this phone that i have run roms labeled as being specifically for USC or my phone won't fully boot. It seems like about half of the roms here also have a USC version, but I'd love to be able to run all the roms
Does anyone here know a workaround for this problem?
This information is just from my own experience. Does anyone have any more intelligent insight?
Does anyone know why the S4 is more picky about roms than the S3 was? Is there something that can be unlocked?

Bump?
Have you checked the Sprint forums also? I would read around, now that Sprint "owns" USC, things might be better for you over "there"
I am curious to know if it would be possible to port over T-Mobiles rom to my wife's S4. It is rooted and has safestrap installed. It is running 4.4.2 KitKat. We recently switched carriers and I was wondering if I was able to port T-Mobiles rom, it might help with signal reception? Or am I totally wrong? I would love to get the wifi calling and texting that is built in to their roms, along with a few other options they incorporate for the S4.
Thanks for any help!
I have a Verizon Note 2. The ROMs available here for it are either stuck in KitKat, or littered with bugs that I just can't live with in a daily driver.
What I've wondered is can I flash TWRP for say the N7100, and then my phone will think that's what I have and let me flash those ROMs? Or, can I maybe even flash a different bootloader for the same purpose? Is this possible? I really want to get a couple more years out of my Note 2, but if I can't find a usable ROM then I'll be forced to say goodbye to it. So, can someone help?
I run a lot of at&t roms. I have tried a great number of ROMs and I have found that t mo Vzw at&t and international all work. But you have to set up APN stuff yourself. And never ever flash a modem or a ROM that includes one. There is still some kind of lock on the basdands.
Seriously, have you tried any of the AOSP roms that are on 5.1.1. XenonHD, CyanideL for instance. Rock stable, beautiful, fast. You could easily get another 2 years out of this phone once marshmallow hits.
Also, Alliance 4.4.2 TW ROM is rock solid.
I have a note 5 that sits in the drawer. Note II = best phone I have ever had. Will cry when it dies.
"Rock stable" is a subjective term, I guess. I personally don't consider the lack of bluetooth google voice commands, and the lost of 4g requiring setting APN settings to default to be "Rock stable".
Seriously.
Heh... If you struggle changing APN settings, you are gunna be in a world of hurt using a TMO ROM.
All you have to do is delete the APN, and reset it. That is with any 5.1.1 ROM.
Guess I never encountered the Bluetooth bug.
Have you tried XenonHD?

My point is that with a "rock solid" rom, the APN settings would just work and no resetting would be necessary.
Initial setup and long term stability are two completely different concepts IMO. Anything other than stock is going to take some initial setup. Whether that be applying GAPPS or SU or flashing kernel, or APN, or theming.
I guess I don't know what you want. Weren't you talking about flashing N7100 ROMs?? You know how much setup it will take to get those to work?
Again have you tried XenonHD?
So, I'll pose the question again...
Can I run other Note II roms that weren't designed for the Verizon version of the phone? If so, how exactly do I change the APN settings to accommodate my Verizon service?

No, that wouldn't be a good idea. Because each carrier has their own version of software for the Note II, they cannot be cross compatible. I once had a Sprint S2 and tried flashing an international ROM onto it, and let's just say that didn't end well. I got it fixed with some luck tho. What are you trying to accomplish by getting a Tmobile/ATT/SPRINT ROM? Also btw another reason is because AT&T and TMobile run off of the GSM bands and Verizon/Sprint run off of a CDMA band. The two don't mix. And no you can't flash a Sprint ROM either, as they use different CDMA bands.
I have the i605 Verizon variant of the Note 2. I changed service from Verizon to Straighttalk and since straighttalk uses AT&T, if I use a verizon rom on AT&T, incoming calls and outgoing calls are a pain in the ass. So, in order to accommodate this problem, I had to install the i317 att note 2 custom recovery version on my i605. I use the ATT SlimKat custom rom on my i605 without any issues. battery life is good and pretty stable. it is safe to odin flash an AT&T custom recovery to a i605. but if you flash a custom rom, be sure it doesn't have a modem or boot.img inside or you will run into problems. Generally stay away from TW roms as i've found they usually have them.
I have a verizon htc one max s-off, rooted, running the adrenaline rom. I am about to switch carriers to tmobile. I bought a cheap straight talk kit just to see what the service would be like but i only was picking up the edge band?
Anyways after reading some post i added lines to build.prop and changed sku_id=13 to 11 in the defualt.xml in system/customize. It still would not get 3g or 4g. Everything else worked great. I read somewhere my rom is missing the bands.
So i think all the custom verizon roms wont help me? I need a international rom correct? Can you flash a different carrier rom over? I don't want to brick my phone. I don't want to stay with verizon either. Would love to keep this phone and rom. But its looking like i need a different rom to use tmobile.
I found skydragon v2.0 vzw thats supposed to work. But the dowmload buttom at 4uplod.com always lags out. Could not find another download.
My overall goal is to get 4g on tmobile. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks! I looked up super cid and saved the page.
I think I'm just going to pick up a T-Mobile m7 for now. Seem to be pretty cheap. Having trouble finding a tmobile compatible HTC one Max rom
