Is there a way to force roaming when running CM? Or flash a roaming PRL without connecting to a PC for each PRL write? Roam control doesn't work yet.

I went to a touchwiz rom and used the prl write mod, then after I wrote my prl then just flashed a cm rom and the prl sticks.

Thanks for the info. I need to be able to switch back and forth though. My home is in a pour coverage area but I have a tower real close to my work place.

Keep a nandroid of stock with the Prl write mod, keep the prls you need on the device, restore the nandroid when you need to write the prl, and then restore the backup of your cm once you're done.
The thing is that PRLs are meant not to be easy to Flash.

That would work. A little time consuming but would work.

You will not lose your flash. Ive flashed many roms with my previous eris and with my droid x now. The only way you will lose your flash if you sbf.

You will not loose the flash but you will loose internet and mms. I have done this 2 times.
What would need to be done if I ran a different ROM to get my mms and internet to work or is it a lost cuase? I guess worse case scenario is flashig it back to stock.

Before you flash it download apn backup and restore and back up your apns. I usually use tokens V10 flashable zip that modifies certain areas so mms would work. The rom I have that is really fast and 100% working with cricket is Rumm Rx 1.0.

Well... When you make a nand, backup the SD ext for that Rom. You can't keep apps when switching from sense to reloaded since, obviously, sense stuff wont work with aosp. Also, before restoring, wipe SD ext and all that stuff. Not sure if it does anything, but i always do that before banding back to a rom

What i do is,when i install a new rom,i set everything up,no tweaks and themes yet,just the settings and gmail,crap like that,i update my apps and then i nandroid everything,i even do compression,takes up less space,then i start adding tweaks,one by one,then i nand again and delete the old one,i do this procedure,until i have my rom where i want it.
When you do a nand leave the top three or whatever checked, check SD ext., and uncheck android secure. The next time you restore that nand it will be as you left it before you flash.

Backup everything except cache if you want to restore to exactly the same thing you have when you run the backup

If you don't back up .android make sure you have moved all apps to the phone or those apps won't work on restore. I have been told you don't need to wipe before a restore but I always do.

Well i'm not sure who told you that,but if you dont wipe before a restore,theres a possibilties of having issues from the other rom.I recommend a full wipe before anything but mods,updates or Gapps.
I have heard before that the wiping scripts are built into the restore process, though I don't know how true that is. I have never wiped before a restore and have never had the slightest problem no matter what rom I'm going to or from.

I always wipe caches and temp files on a restore. Better safe than sorry, right?
Once you download and flash as rom, can you delete the file from your sd card?

Not a good idea, what happens if something goes wrong and you need to reflash? Better keep it handy.
I always keep my current ROM, current kernel and stock kernel available to flash in case i run into issues caused by tweaking.
That is what nandroid backups are for. Delete em.

Nandroid backups aren't always reliable. If you don't want a rom on your phone then keeping it on your pc is a good idea.

That's when you power the phone off, download the ROM on PC and transfer it to a MicroSD card. Better to keep the .zip on the phone rather than carry a laptop around though. Lol.

I keep several ROMs and kernels on my sd card in case something goes haywire. Which has happened and I couldn't reflash the same ROM or my Nandroid, and could only flash a backup ROM I kept on my sd. I would have been screwed because I was using gps to get to a work site and wouldn't have known where to go. And couldn't have called anyone to find out since my phone wouldn't boot. From then on I have at least 2-3 ROMs and kernels etc.

I decided to give cm10.1.3 a try now that it is stable. I've flashed cm on many devices without trouble including this s4. But this time when the phone booted, I had LTE displayed as connected in the status bar but couldn't get any throughput. 3g works fine when I switch to CDMA only. So as a test I flashed 10.2 nightly (which I have run before without issues) and no LTE with it either. So I dug up an old 10.1 nandroid which was fully backed in good shape and holy crap!! No LTE!!! So I flashed back to touchwiz nandroid and LTE works fine. What's up. Very weird. Any ideas.

No..I tried re-downloading the ROM from other sources. Still 4g connects but is super slow. Like 5 mins to open a web page. I have great 4g coverage at home usually. 3g Is working good though.

Apparently you can't backup APN on 4.x ROMs? Not without purchasing titanium backup at least
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
So I figured it out. 4g wasn't working because I'm an idiot and was wiping everything including system. Didn't realize there were settings that need to be left for cm to connect. At least that's the only reason I can think of. Hope this helps someone else so its not a total waste of forum space.

I wiped my system a few days ago when I was flashing the latest beanstalk build, that explains why late isn't working. What should I do to fix it?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
If you have a backup of stock or another touch wiz ROM, flash back to that. Then boot into recovery, and do a factory restore. That will wipe data,cache,and dalvic, but leave the system intact. Then just flash cm or other aosp rom and reboot. Should be good to go!

Just wanted to report that I came in here with the exact same problem and this fixed it for me as well. I was running the Pac Rom nightly and was pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I too had formatted system just by force of habit. Maybe this should be mentioned in install tutorials not to do that.
Hello All,
Should I freeze my updater so I do not get any future updates without me wanting them? I heard if you have a rooted devices with a custom recovery sometimes an ota update can not only remove root but brick your phone. If this is so can anyone show me how to freeze the updater?
Thank you.
Kinda would like this information since I'm still using my stock ROM and don't wanna accidentally take any otas
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
well its illegal to automatically update your phone without your consent so you shouldn't need to block anything. However ofcourse you could "accidently" update so its up to you.

If your on the stock ROM and rooted and have custom recovery installed you will absolutely brick your device. This happened to quite a few people here including myself and it took about a day for the devs to get our devices fixed when the first OTA rolled out. So yes freeze it. if your on a custom ROM then you need not worry about this.

What exactly do I freeze. I'm assuming I can use titanium backup to freeze it but I have no idea what to freeze.
