I know we had a few threads going before about porting the GE Rom for Sprint and the only issue we had was that 3g data didn't work, I noticed a few of them are missing either deleted or something happened, Is there a new thread I am just missing and has there been any progress on the port?
Things I found that might help someone trying to port

Just be patient, keep reading, and help whenever you can. I'm sure things will get ironed out soon enough. The guys that know how to hack, are doing their best. Keep giving them a daily pat on the back and letting them know we appreciate their hard work. It will get better and more stable through time.
I noticed some folks over in the VZW GS4 forums managed to port a GE rom. I attempted to flash it but it wouldn't boot. Flashed rom , kernel and su. Even tried to flash without kernel just to see if it would boot but no dice. I also noticed in the thread that the rom had working tw apps, namely watchon, which makes me feel even more impatient to get ahold of it.
Angst911 pm'd me about a sprint version. It's uploading now for him to test and day whether it works like I think it will. If he approves it, I'll post it then.
I'm kind of surprised no one had already made one for sprint.

Stuff that was in the build.prop of the verzion one however not in the t-mobile one.
"
# Network Mode CDMA/EVDO/LTE auto
ro.telephony.default_network=8
# Restore delay of the default network - 30 mins (VZW)
android.telephony.apn-restore=1800000
# Restore delay of VZW Apps APN - 1 min (VZW)
vzw.telephony.appsapn-restore=60000
# Use CDMALTE Phone
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1
ro.com.google.clientidbase.ms=android-verizon
ro.com.google.clientidbase.am=android-verizon
ro.com.google.clientidbase.yt=android-verizon
"
Also after looking deeper the fact its a TW Base means we need to use CSC_SPRINT_CHAMELEON to get it working i believe..
The build.prop isn't the main reason that vzw got data.

But it was definitely a big chunk. Otherwise it wouldn't know that it was a CDMA phone and the right options wouldn't show up in Settings.
So you did some smali merges or added qmi libs, or both?

No if I had decompiled the framework and ui and did smali changes there wouldn't be the issues that it still has.
I just did a lot of copy and pasting. Ive been working on a fully functioning vzw port of ruj's blukuban(with permission) for a couple weeks. Through doing that I found how to do various work arounds to get things functioning but not perfect until you actually edit things correctly. I have everything decompiled, just a matter of digging through it.
Until I get a definitive list of everything from my project I hadn't planned on posting it...I don't want to lead people down a path that doesn't work. And I don't want to have to support those people's projects when my list doesn't work.

You seem like the person to ask with as much knowledge as you know about phones and all the work you've created; good grief. I am stuck with Sprint and cant leave until next year without paying ETF; long story short; get terrible service and have airave (only works half the time and have 3 replacements-sprint does not want to address to issue; and me being on a SERO account probably doesn't help either) but someone in a different thread mentioned about a sprint diagnostic tool that you can use to force your phone to Roam verizon towers and get the boot rather quickly from sprint; unfortunately he said it was only for samsung devices; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

Sprint will boot you and terminate the contract with no etf if you do it enough. Not that I would condone such a thing.
I didn't know if there was such a tool that could work for the evo shift that you knew of since you work with other devs and know A LOT about A LOT of stuff. I searched google a bit then headed over here of the forums, but couldnt find much in regards to it for my phone. thanks in advance

No you don't need to change your prl. Also, Several Shift ROMs like newSENSE Supreme Sense and StockMod have roam only as an option built in so you don't have to buy roam control if you don't want too.

True, but when the HTC One X came out and had the same deal someone uploaded the included modified .apk so anyone could dl and get the 50gb. It was promptly banned/thread closed and dropbox reverted everyone who tried it back to their default storage. So I do think it's illegal per xda rules (and dropbox of course). I can't fault you for finding it out on accident though Hopefully the ROM creator will fix things before they get in trouble.
Got it too! Awesome
I got it a few days ago.. I couldn't figure why.. =D Now i know!
Anyone else try to register their Google Edition S4 with Samsung? They were offering 50% off accessories if you do.
Check: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/06/1...e-and-receive-a-50-off-accessory-coupon-code/
When I try to register it just keeps asking me to enter my serial number and purchase date. It never actually lets me register. I was hoping to get the wireless charging back at $20 instead of $40, but that won't happen if this keeps up.

Lol people have made full dumps. A dump doesn't equal a ROM. Please, try applying an ota for a gt-I9505g on your phone (you won't even get them in the first place I don't think). Let me know if your phone is suitable to do anything but hold down papers afterwards (until you Odin/ JTAG whatever)
Once we get partition mapping straight a full conversion would be nice though.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
i think thats the point, we all want someone to upload the whole thing so devs can do the tricky stuff like partition sizes and such.
Most folks on here are not rom developers but normal folk with a fasciation for modding there phones, that all. No need to get all high and mighty about it...
Following up on the registration issue, I tried again today. The product selection has changed and now recognizes it as the Google Play Edition - but it still refuses to accept the serial number and purchase date.
I tried to enter a support chat to figure out why but was promptly told they are not yet trained to support the GPE and gave me some other number to call. I'm not sure how that is relevant to their website not letting me register it, but whatever.

That's the next update that's in the wings for our phones. This has some new code for Bluetooth and maybe other things I am not familiar with. But with this update alone, I highly doubt tmo will "add" wifi-calling to the N4 or even ever. If they intended it, they would have installed it on the Tmo version/sold by of the N4.
Right, but is it that integrated of an app that someone cannot port it into a custom rom, from a t-mobile phone on jellybean that has wifi-calling?

I don't know the semantics but the gist is not just an apk. I think it intertwines with framework and that's a lot of shifting through code to bring one app to light. I mean there's a thread created with a reward of like over $1,400 to "port" it. lol

That reward thread pretty much speaks for itself then.. lol...
Yeah I believe for ICS it still was an app, and easier to work with. But I did notice that in Jellybean it's no longer in app form, and it seems to be tied into the updated sim cards they are running and I guess, more "baked" into the framework itself.
You would think they would come out with a stand-alone app for ppl without actual T-mobile branded phones..
Maybe this question has been addressed somewhere on XDA, but I was wondering why there aren't any AOSP ROM's out yet for our Note 3. Just curious if they are in the works or what??

From what I understand AOSP ROMs require a new kernel, which we are unable to flash due to limitations from a locked bootlader.
