Is there a specific reason all custom roms are not for GT sprint users?. Thanks!!!

If your asking why you cant flash a rom like overcome or something gsm
Each carrier has thier own crap on the tab plus there is a differance between types. Sprint is for instance cdma, while att is gsm. You can not flash a gsm rom on cdma. Breaks your tab.

Thanks for the info!! Is there a reason the DEVS only develop for gsm?
Bad news - most devs have gsm tabs. Personally I think this was a conspiracy that goes all the way to oboma. Good news - the one overclock and voodoo kernal we have is actually sweet as shiatzu. It is for vzn and sprint. Also the roms for vzn are very sound. Not sure about sprint there.

Is there any Verizon roms out there? I see alot of GSM but no cdma.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I haven't seen anything for Verizon on here. It is a little disappointing and makes me wonder if it was a mistake going with Verizon for my Tab.
I know that it has already been asked but I just wanted some more feedback before I flash a ROM.
I'm running the Froyo Faux O/C Kernel on stock ROM and I updated the radio.
Are there any ROMs out right now that will give me faster network speeds? Also is possible to flash an AT&T radio IMG or some other way to use the data connection. I only have Edge at my house.

ATT and TMobile use completely different bands on their 3G network....you cant just throw an att radio and get the 3G...the hardware doesnt support it

I can fix your problem with only having edge... Get t-mobile.. At&t sucks ass at least here they do...
I'm using a radio from the HTC Glacier Radios post. 26.08.04.30.
I do have t-mobile but only get the edge network. AT&T has better data speeds where I live.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
really... Hmm well I guess at&t does have service... are you sure t-mobile has 4g service in your area
T-mobile only has edge in my area. If t-mobile's hardware doesn't support AT&Ts radio band then why do we have the option to sim unlock and use AT&T

when you unlock the mt4g and put an att sim in it, you can only get edge. thats why i specifically said 3G....
Is there a toggle in the AT&T version to switch from 3G to 4g.
Negative

WTF why does AT&T never include this? Didn't include it on one x either.

Flashing a custom rom such as aokp would allow this tho, no?

Sure but it's such a basic function it should just be default. It actually IS default on most manufacturers stock roms, but AT&T actually removes it. For example, Canadian One XLs have the ability to turn LTE off. AT&T version does not. Absolutely ridiculous for AT&T to go out of its way to remove that feature.

So it looks like you would be able to turn lte off when you connect to wifi? That would be great. If you have to configure it someone would have to tell me how to do it because i'm a ra-tard.
We can use roms from the At&t galaxy s3, and vice versa, just thought I let everyone know. I'll be trying out sprint roms shortly, and verizon soon.
What works: Everything so far, even the rotation is fine (if you had a tmobile galaxy s2, you know what I mean)
What doesn't: Nothing that I'm aware of.
Issues: You have to go to titanium backup and disable at&t software update
Have fun!
Did u try and flash the att rom on the tmobile version?
What?

As of right now, no. The rom I flashed didn't change the radios.

Isn't the radio different from the absence of LTE?
This is great news just like the Galaxy S II days.
Can anyone confirm if one can flash a Tmobile radio onto the At&T version.
Reason: AT&T Galaxy S3 is $100 cheaper off contract.

I never had a gsm phone so I dont know alot about world phones. On sprints community foruma there is much debate if the gs4 is a world phone. I see a sim slot my guess that it is. Anyway if I were to switch to tmobile, can this phone be used or is it completely impossible? Other countries use gsm networks only so being a world phone I would assume that it can be used with US gsm networks. Thanks.

It is a world phone but it is locked to Sprint only you can call sprint and have it unlocked for international and sprint simcards only no domestic Sims like from t-mobile and AT&T.

Okay did some research and youre correct. Invalid sim pops up when a local sim is inserted. Lets say I flash the google edition rom stock rooted. Now I know it will mess up all radio with cdma but will this bypass or does sprint have a hardware lock on the device?

Yes, it will work on tmobile for text and call when you unlocked it. For data, you need to change the apn setting to epc.tmobile.com. I am sure that you will get EDGE but not sure about 3g/4g or LTE.

That is not correct. It will work if you unlocked it. You will only get EDGE data for the time being in the US.

You can't do it, it is impossible. Sprint has US carriers blocked and there is no method to unlock to use a Sprint phone on Tmobile. So here is the steps to follow: List your Sprint phone on Ebay or Craigslist, Sell it, go buy a Tmobile S4, enjoy.

Im having difficulties rooting the S4. When I check it says its not rooted properly. Im still on MF9 and have no clue how to get it to MDC/MDL baseband. Any help? And how would you change the apn settings?

There seems to be a very dismissive attitude in this thread.
I have a Sprint HTC One and I can easily throw a T-Mobile SIM in there and get full service (sans LTE) with T-Mobile. The HSPA+ is faster than the Sprint 3G.
So while I do not have personal experience with the S4 in this fashion, I do not see why it would not be possible to get it unlocked and used on T-Mobile. (Unless Samsung/Sprint are blocking it for whatever reason)
