I have asked about issues with the other roms not working. I lost calling, texting, and could only use wifi with all roms. I also had to remove the SD card prior to the phone allowing me to activate after flashing back to "stock."
I have not found one that works. I tried Phoenix and Alliance roms at first and was tired of flashing back to stock. You CAN use xposed framework and I have used kernels like Blaze. That is about all I've been able to find. You can find dedicated US cellular forums BUT you won't find much there unless something changed in the last day or two. Nobody would answer my questions about why their roms would not work and possibly how to get them to work Sorry, this is about all you'll find. I had a few issues and my threads were also deleted

..

I have unlocked every USC phone I've ever had...there's plenty of devolopment out there for USC phones. I haven't seen anything other than custom kernels yet for G900R4 though.

There aren't a lot of USC users here so we don't know much about your system. In the past, USC has locked their bootloaders and that is the key reason that you don't see much custom ROM development.
Also, USC (along with Sprint, Verizon) still use CDMA while the rest of the world is using GSM. That basic incompatibility also deters wider development.
Have a look at the Safestrap thread in the Verizon S5 forum. Safestrap is an app for loading an emulated custom ROM + recovery and can probably be used for USC as well.

Does anyone know of a kernel that has SELinux set to permissive that will work? That's honestly the last thing I need. I wanted a bootloader unlocked phone that ran off CDMA so I can use it where I live so US Cellular seemed to be the solution.

US Cellular confirmed that the R4 has a unlocked bootloader. I am running a stock deoxed/debloated touchwiz. I am super surprised and disappointed that there hasn't been more interest and development for this phone. I am so tempted to trade it for a different.

I'm running a g900r4, (klteusc) as well. What rom are you using? I've been all over the gs5 unified and initial developments sections, and am currently using the cm11 unified while waiting for the slim rom unified. I'd gladly prefer a bloat free touch wiz though it seems the stock based roms are exclusive to g900f and the like.

You guys want this http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/411-galaxy-s5-romskernelsmods/
CM11, kernel w/o SELinux Enforcing, other goodies.

Head over to teamuscellular.com/forum and you should find a few available options to try. Including stock deodexed ncf ROM(touch wiz). And other custom Roms ported to USC. Like "cm 12 lollipop alpha." Looks good but no customization. As well as all stock Odin flashable zips. Some others like alliance and beanstalk have been ported, haven't tried those though. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

i9505 i337m canada mobile network connectivity

Hello All,
I have a samsung galaxy s4 i337m in canada using the rogers netowork. Ive been using customs roms shortly after i got this phone. Ive used samsung rom, original, GPE but eventually settled on Cyanogenmod. I use TWRP for the i9505 which allows me to use any rom (since CM12 doesnt have a build for the i337m, and other builds wont flash in a i337m TWRP).
Anyway ive been using CM 12.1 with a i9505 build for some time, and it works great. I had to update my modem to the NI2 build to get it to work, but its been working flawless ever since.
Now to my problem, buddy has an S4, same model, same carrier. He claims he needs a new phone and i beg to differ. I rooted, installed twrp (i9505)and cm12.1 (i9505). works great, however no network connectivity. I remember i need a new modem, try the same one that works with mine....nothing... try a different one.... nothing. calls and SMS, but not data of any speed.
Reverting to kitkat roms results in it working perfectly (multiple modems). both from his original Nandroid and CM 11. All lollipop roms seems to have the same issue, no mobile data. Wifi works fine. No issues with SIM card, switched them between the two phones and confirmed its HIS phone with the issue.
Im a little puzzled, can someone recommend a modem to load? should I try to use TWRP an CM12 for the ATT variant/ different variant? I want to help him but this is making me look amateur (even if its true).
Thanks ahead of time.

Looking fit info how to root Canadian s5 active

I'm being given a Canadian s5 active next week so I'm looking
For info on how to root it and what roms will work on it.
So far from what I've read I can root it with the 900f chainfire root method. And that most roms will not work because the menu and home buttons don't work on custom roms
But that info is pretty out of date...
If you are actively using your s5 active I would love to hear from you

CM 13 based Roms worked for months. Depending on provider have had issues just rooting stock Rogers phone but bell no issues. Depending on what you are looking for lots of stuff available check android dev for Roms Klte is what you are looking for.

Cm13 roms work but not previous roms..?
(Ie liquid smooth4.4.4, etc)
Thanks for the info

Can you tell me what recovery you are using for the s5 active?
I've tried the TWRP for the 900f but it did not work.
Any ideas?

[Q] JFLTEXX ROMs on variant devices?

Hello everybody,
I have a JFLTEUSC (US Cellular variant of the Galaxy S4) and I use dual boot patcher with touchwiz 4.4.2 and Optimized CM13 (JDCTeam) roms. I was wondering if I could remove CM13 and try a JFLTEXX rom (like Resurrection Remix) without totally screwing up my wireless and 4G and all that fun stuff. I ask this because in the CM13 thread, it specifically says that it will work with my variant. A few months ago I tried to flash official CM11 for my phone and got it stuck in roaming. Fortunately, I managed to fix that (Change some setting I forgot to RUIM/SIM). Then recently while using CM13 I somehow dropped all my signal and couldn't make calls, send texts, nothing. I had to call *22899 to reactivate it. I just a little paranoid that one of these days I'm gonna royally screw it up and have to take it into the store.
Thank you!

Lets Talk about Sprint!

Hya Everyone! I wanted to try and open up some life into those of us still using the Sprint Variant of the Note 4. It is so easy to get lost in the noise of the general forums and what works for the Korea variant may not work for our CDMA variant! So with that... let me hear what ROM you are using and how you like it! Also.. did you upgrade the Baseband past QI5? Any regrets??? Here are my burning topics.
1. SMS over LTE
2. What happens with T-Mobile? Should we load the T-Mobile basebands?
3. Absolute most stable ROM.
4. What version of TWRP are you using?
5. WiFi calling and/or HotSpot use.
Share your stories!!!

Lets also talk about how to switch our current phone to TMobile!

Uh, yeah. NOT much love for the CDMA variants of the Note 4 for newer OS's and the SMS over LTE AKA SMS over SGs issue. I'm currently running LOS 14.1.2 (Android 7.1.2) because anything much higher on QI5 wouldn't send texts. I found an older post where someone flashed an older previous baseband (Android 6?) using the newer OS's and that worked to fix the SMS issues, but I don't know how to make the "correct" needed files (which I have) into a TWRP flashable zip. After more digging, TWRP itself has the baseband files built into it, so flashing an older version might work, but I gave up after screwing around with it for 3 months.
"What happens with T-Mobile? Should we load the T-Mobile basebands?"
As long as your Note 4 is working on LTE fine there shouldn't be any difference Sprint vs T-mobile from what I've been told. 3G is going to be shut down in Jan 2022 though so...
I wouldn't upgrade the Baseband to QI5 because it seems that locks out older solutions for the SMS over LTE from working.
Absolute most stable ROM?
The only ones I've seen being regularly worked on still is the unofficial Lineage and Havoc OS's.
