so im wondering, would the build prop edits from the g2 and flex (sprint variants) work for the g3?
the edits im asking about is freeing up the phone to use gsm service. also, i know the sprint g2 had a dedicated tmobile rom that was sim unlocked. i believe there was a lego rom too.
any roms out there that are premade sim unlocked?
thanks for your input in advance!!!

Cloudy seems to be GSM unlocked, but with the Sprint LS990 there are some additional details for running that International based ROM. I have to say I've been following this topic as a matter of curiosity, but haven't tried it myself.

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?

I just purchased my S5 yesterday (April 17th), but I regret selling my M8. I thought the S5 would have more dev support and more ROM's than M8, but I guess I was wrong. On the T-Mobile M8 Android Dev section there is a GPE ROM and a RUU to covert the M8 to stock android.
I was expecting like 5-10 ROMs on the S5 already (as was with the Note 3), but I guess I'm wrong? Or can I flash ROM's meant for the non T-Mobile S5?
That's my main question.
Where are the ROM's?
wow really?
Impatient much?
You do realize that this phone came out less then two weeks ago.
And I am sure that not that many people have jumped to this since there were so many people that develop that are already on the s4 and the s5 is not that much of a upgrade for them to switch.
Not to mention that the AT&T and Verizon cariants are not rootable yet and more developers are typically on those networks to begin with.
Give it a little more time for the others to get root and developers to move over and get used to the different setup and roms will come.

You can flash the international ROMs but you'll lose WiFi calling. Remember that this device has barely been out a week and already on back order for many potential purchasers. Be patient, custom ROMs will come soon enough.

Well just saying the M8 has more ROM's and even stock android flashability (made that up )
Seriously though, there is a GPE ROM for M8 that allows you to flash back to stock still, and the RUU Google Play Edition, which essentially converts the M8 on T-Mobile (and other carriers) to a GPE version of the M8 permanately.

I haven't tried it, but I would assume it works fine as long as you keep the T-Mobile firmware. There is some discussion in the general thread about people running the international ROMs as well as in the international forums, look around. I think we'll start seeing custom ROMs built from the T-Mobile base sometime next week at the latest, I'm content with root for now.

There are no gpe version of the s5 so that makes getting that much harder. And really only 3 roms for the m8. The stock, the gpe, and venom (modded stock).

I agree, but the M8 Android Dev thread still has more threads, when it had a locked bootloader! You can argue since its easy to unlock etc, but come on. I remember when the S4/Note 3 had dozens of ROM's in like 2 weeks.

I'm thinking of upgrading as well, but coming from carrier specific devices (the Samsung Infuse, ATT only, and the Nexus 4 on Simple Mobile), there hasn't been different variants. So the T-Mobile devices is compatible with ROMs built for the international variant? Would the kernels for it be compatible as well? The only thing that would be lost would be the carrier specific additions such as built-in VOIP? No differences in partition layout?

APN shows T-Mobile, so I believe its just a kernel/radio issue. It's up to you if flashing a custom ROM is worth no LTE.

You need to verify the T-Mobile APN. Maybe the settings are not for T-Mobile LTE. I had the same issues after my flash but I am on AT&T. Just make sure the APN settings match that of T-Mobile LTE. Carriers have more then one APN.

So I got an unlocked Verizon-VS980 LG G2 (I have t-mobile) and when I first started the phone it could connect to the t-mobile service right away, however after a few minutes of playing with the phone, it knows there is a sim card, but is not connected to t-mobile. The only way I can get this to work is to switch over to an AOSP rom but I really want to use a stock one. Currently using Xdabbeb and it's still not working. Any help would be great!

Yeah for sure it was unlocked. I used it for a few days before the problems occurred.
If this is any help, I've used Mahdi rom and it worked but, but I hate using Google camera and most custom cameras don't support it. Also the battery life isn't where i like it to be (using greenify and all the other what nots)

When you got the device did you buy it from someone and did it already have a rom installed?

Otherwise, you might want to try Grasso's WiFi Tether Router app on Play Store. Couple bucks, works well even on lollipop
Thanks all. Talking about Lollipop. My phone came with 4.4.2, how do I upgrade to Lollipop. When I go to System updates and check for update, it says I am on the latest.
If you are rooted, and have a custom recovery (e.g., twrp), simplest might be to install one of the lollipop Roms. I just installed skydragon, plus the SD 4.1 kernel, based on the 23c lollipop build, like it a lot. There are multiple other lollipop Roms, check the Verizon g3 android development forum area.
If you want to root, but haven't yet, check bweN diorD's reference thread in the stickies, Verizon lg g3 General forum region. The first two posts have lots of good info with links.

I just recently switched my phone to straight talk and it will only work on KitKat ROMs. When I was on Verizon I had AICP as a dd. But no 5.0 ROM has successfully been able to pull up apns. Or allow me to create apns and save them. They don't save.
I'm running the latest 4.4.4 slimkat. And PA 4.4.4 works. Haven't tried LS.
.
I may have misunderstood the question. Of course you can use any VS985 rom/modem whether you are on Verizon or not, with the possible exception of cm12 Lollipop roms due to APN issues.
What I was worried the poster might have been asking was whether he could move to a different variant's rom or modem, a non-vs985 rom, like a T-Mobile rom or radio, if he wanted to drop Verizon.
That would not work.
