New phone, and I already feel like a n00b again. Flame on if you wish, but here goes:
So I have a shiny new G S3, and after futzing with it and finding it full of the normal carrier crapware, figure it is easier just to flash it to something custom. So I get Cyanogenmod all ready, clockwork recovery set, flash, all pretty much with no drama (besides the normal USB driver fight) and... I have no 4G.
Now I *DID* have 4G on the sprint ROM, so I know that I am both in the service area as well as activated. I get *NO* data unless I switch the moble networks option to "CDMA/evDO auto". Then 3G works just fine. Put it on "LTE/CDMA/EvDo" and nothing (I can still make calls though).
I've tried the stable 10.0.0-d2spr build, a few of the nightlies, and one particular one I found on another thread (the 20121226 nightly build) and none of these do 4G.
So on this phone, do I need a radio or something (coming from the HTC world) along with the ROM itself? Is there some type of activation or registration apk I should be seeing and am just missing? I see all kinds of posts from last year about this phone from people who don't seem to even have 4G where they are... but not a single screenshot from anyone that shows the 4G connection icon on any custom ROM.
I'm willing to try just about any ROM, although I'd like to keep it to ones I can flash from clockwork recovery.
If it is of any hint, I couldn't use heimdall... got "protocol error"... but was able to install Samsung drivers and install clockwork with Odin with no problem at all.
It works on every rom based on the official firmware. (Freegs, freezas rom, blazer rom, etc) almost anything in android development.
A prl and profile update would probably do you some good.
I believe even cm supports lte, but I'm not much an aosp guy. You could try updating to the latest radio, May help.
I wish I could be more help, but I'm not a pro in this area as I don't have lte in my town yet. Lol
Id also recommend using twrp through goo.im

Cm does support 4G, as I had it on the stable version. Worked just fine. Restore your stock version, update profile and PRL then restore or re flash cm10 and it should work just fine.
I will post a screenshot later on cm10 with 4G.

I took this LTE speed test the day I downloaded and installed LiquidSmooth beta 3.2.1. Worked on LTE for me, flawlessly.

This may be a dumb question, but if I did that prior to flashing (I activated the phone, and started the reflash about an hour after that, but with LTE working), wouldn't the restore and then reflash just overwrite it again? Is there some way to back up the profile/prl, or some aftermarket/Sprint app to do it on a custom ROM? (or some secret phone number sequence, which I can't seem to find?)
I'm now on Liquidsmooth 3.2.1, and although nice, it also seems not to like LTE mode (no data/Internet at all).
Here's another new thought, though: when I'm on LTE mode in "mobile networks", and then go into About Phone -> Status, it does say "Mobile network type: LTE:13" with "service state: in service" and "roaming: Not Roaming" and I can make calls... so it looks like possibly an activation problem or something? Is there a set of passwords or auth keys stored somewhere that may need updating?

I'm pretty sure updating PRL and profiles just updates your radios, so it doesn't effect it if you restore a ROM. But don't quote me on that. There is a good chance I am wrong. All I know is I see around that seems to fix the error a lot, stock updating prl then restoring to cm10.

The problem is with CM10. It does support LTE, but there was a problem with the APN settings that causes the problems you're experiencing. There is a file you can flash on CM10.0 that will fix your problem, but you may be better off looking for a nightly from 12/26 or later (I think that was the first nightly with the fix, but I don't remember), or just jump to CM10.1. All CM10.1 nightlies have the fix in place already.

I searched the CM10 thread and was able to locate the LTE handoff update. Unfortunately, the link no longer comes up in dropbox. I do, however, have it on my computer, but as I am not the original creator of the ZIP, I'm not sure about sharing something I did not create, as well as I do not know who the original creator is. If anyone out there can give me the permission, of or from, the original owner of the zip, I'll add it here.

Download, but do NOT extract. Flash AOSP/CM rom first, then kernel of choice (if you don't use provided kernel for rom, and finally, flash the update. As always, prior to beginning a new rom install, always wipe data/factory reset/wipe dalvik cache.

Hello,
Obviously from my posts I'm new posting, however, I've been reading the forums for a while now and have been a huge fan at the massive support of devs and other helpful people. My question, and I've tried searching hi and lo on this site and others to get an answer:
I rooted my phone about 2 months ago and kept ROM, kernel, etc. stock until about 1 month ago when I flashed CM 10.1. Everything was awesome, loved the layout and the customization of the ROM. About 2 weeks ago, I lost 4G/H+ coverage, and voice service was sometimes spottier than usual. Wifi was and is still fine, but anytime I left and wifi network, I was immediately given EDGE speeds. I ran speedtest.net and the display is accurate.
I tried searching a couple of sites and I read that flashing a different ROM could fix the issue. I flashed Wicked which again was a great layout, but didn't fix the 4G issue. Lastly, today I followed an unroot thread and unrooted my phone. I didn't reset my counter with triangle away because I didn't think that was an issue in the lack of 4G. And I didn't want to dig myself any deeper on possibly bricking my phone. So now, my phone is stock (minus the counter) with ROM, kernel, and recovery. Any tips or suggestions?
Something to note: When I tried flashing CM10.1 the very first time, I received an error 7 message on CWM recovery. After reading a couple of posts on here, it looked like the workaround was to remove the first line of code on the updater-script file in the zip. Doing so made the ROM flash without any hiccups. Or were there?
Again thanks in advance for taking the time to read my post.

Its not really bad, but its not great. It means you lost your imei, it just happens randomly when flashing a ROM (no one knows why, it just rarely happens). Its not the ROMs fault, it just happens.
If you haven't made a backup of your imei, then you'll have to restore/inject the imei so that you can use 4g again. I'll have to look for the threads that explain how to do that and I'll post them for you.

I wouldn't worry bout it. Unless you get lucky it can take a lot of searching and piecing info together to find all that's needed. Imei restoration can still be found, but a lot isn't too clear. Data restore after imei restoration is not so easy.

Hey Doc, does everything in the video I posted restore 4g or does it just restore the imei? If it doesn't restore 4g, could you please post here or pm what steps are needed to get 4g going again?
I would just like to have a copy of everything just in case something goes wrong with my imei backup, If I end up losing my imei.

Awesome! Glad you got it working again.
Next thing is to create s n on-device backup of your nv data. This should only need to be done once, as you can't delete or overwrite it with common methods. It is also preventative so you shouldn't ever see this issue again.
Two methods
1. Install Andromizer and backup nv data
2. Install and open Terminal Emulator and enter this:
su
reboot nvbackup
That's it. Your phone will reboot and create the back up. If you do ever need to restore just enter this:
su
reboot nvrestore
Note: you cannot make copies of this as its stored across several partitions that are not easily accessible.

What were the "couple more things"? My IMEI was wiped when I installed CWM and I had no signal showing at all. I have restored my IMEI and it now connects to Edge but it does not connect to 4G as it did. My wife's phone still gets a good 4G connection so I think it is the phone. I have tried wiping it, installing Cyanogen and have now reverted to Samsung factory UVDMD5. Everything about the phone seems to work great except it has no 4G. Tried changing APN type and forcing WCDMA -- no luck
Thanks!

Low 2g and 3g but no 4g
I also can never get 4G in the metro. Even right next to somebody with the exact same phone and same T-mobile service who gets it fine.. I had flashed Synergy ROM and now S3Rx (stock kernel) but no improvement. My IMEI is valid, the Mobile Network type is shown as: GPRS:1. It shows the APN as T-Mobile USA (epc.tmobile.com). Baseband version is: T999UVDMD5.
I don't know anything else to check. Sure would like some ideas.
Test with someone else's SIM card. Or call T-Mobile as it sounds like it may be an account issue. Odin back to stock. If it still continues, it could also be hardware.

I hope you can help me find cure for my phone!
After regular update of CM 10.2. using CWM my phone stopped connecting to 3g and 4g, I checked with T-Mobile and no problems on their end. I thought it was a failed upgrade reinstalled CM 10.2, didn't help. Then I totally reformatted Internal Storage and Installed LiquidSmooth 2.3.7, same thing, only EDGE data. Then I thought maybe I have to unroot and go back to Stock, and this time unrooted, upgraded baseband to the latest version, then installed Stock JB 4.3 but it didn't fix my problem. Then I came across this info about missing IMEIs, and there it was IMEI was showing Unknown at one point and now it is showing 0. I tried to follow some guides about nv_data.bin but my EFS folder doesn't seem to contain that file, it actually doesn't have more than that when compared to other user's screenshots.
At this point I rooted my phone again using TWRP with SU and De-knox and installed CM 10.2.0. Still EDGE only and IMEI showing 0.
Please, help! I can email screenshot of About Phone Status Page and EFS folder if you need.
Thanks!

Doc,
I just purchased a T999 on eBay with this same problem. When I got the phone, it had CM installed on it and had no IMEI (IMEI=0). I put it back to stock 4.1.2, still no IMEI. I did IMEI repair using Z3X box which worked, now IMEI is normal. Problem is that it always stays on EDGE network. I'm sure this is something to to with the phone and not something else. I have a couple of other T999's available to use to test SIM card, location, etc. and all other T999's I've tried work just fine. Only this one that I had to restore IMEI.
Can you please give me some advice?

Yo! by the way, I don't know if it's my device or kit kat, but I've tried liquid smooth and this rom, and for some reason everything displays kinda blurry, or like low res on the screen. Is it because my dpi is too high or low? or is it a setting I gotta switch. Hopefully someone can help me out here, thanks!

Yeah, this is a problem with CyanogenMod 11. It was not a problem with VILLUMINATI. Maybe Dastin can help fix the issue in the main CyanogenMod build?
Here essentially is the problem and what I've found to be the solution - the LCD density settings are incorrect. It is set by default to 220, but that density doesn't seem to match the screen's native resolution. I read online somewhere that for the S2 the setting should be 240. It's not intuitive, but lower numbers actually result in higher resolutions. Because this phone's screen isn't as sharp/has a lower Pixel Per Inch (ppi) count than some of the later model phones, it needs the high 240 number to get the lower resolution to match what the screen natively displays (hopefully I just said that correctly). Anyway, when you get the correct resolution settings, even if they aren't as "high" things become less blurry and look sharper, since the native resolution is correct.
So, how to change this? Here goes:
Download the "File Explorerer ES" app (it's free) from the app store.
Open the app
Click the menu icon in the top left.
Expand "Tools"
Turn on "Root Explorer" (and give the app root access whenever you get prompted... you'll need root to edit the system file).
At the top of the screen, click on "Storage".
At the top of the screen, click on "/". The goal here is to get to the root (aka /) of your filesystem, where the file we want is.
The top of the screen should now say "Device". If so, scroll down the list until you find the file called "system", and then open it.
Scroll down again and select the "build.prop" file.
It will probably ask what program you want to use to open it with. Pick "ES Note Editor".
In the top right of the editor, click the settings icon, then pick the "edit" option.
Scroll down the file until you find the line that says "ro.sf.lcd_density=220". Change that so that the number is 240.
Click the back arrow at the top left of the editor. You should be prompted on whether you want to save. Click yes.
Reboot your phone. When you log back into it again, you should see clearer icons.
thanx

Blank APN list
My SPH-D710 on Ting isn't getting 3g or LTE since flashing to CM 11. I've tried a number of different radios including ICS, GB, and JB with no luck. If I look in the APN list under Mobile Networks the list is completely blank and if I try resetting the list to defaults nothing is restored. I've tried factory resetting the phone several times and each time I clear all the caches, etc. Does anyone have a trick I can try?
Yes. First flash a stock ROM. Update prl profiles and whatever until ting works. You'll hopefully have 3g and lte doesn't matter because it won't work on this phone after jelly bean. Then flash whatever you like.

SMS Issues
Hi:
FWIW, I have been suffering these same text-messaging issues since going to CyanogenMod 11 on my SPH-D710 a few months back. I also recall seeing at least 1 or 2 other users on the older 'Villumiati' thread with similar issues, never resolved to my knowledge. I'm also on the FL24 modem, and re-flashed that as well a month or so ago to no avail. I have found that I can 'refresh' my text messages by going into "airplane mode" and then turning the radio back on, but this is not a very practical solution. Also, in case it might be a factor, I should include that my Sprint account is configured to use Google voice so that I can see/reply to SMS messages online. I'd appreciate any/all ideas as to how to 'fix' this issue, as it has caused all sort of social 'problems' related to not getting messages. (Also, I cannot send messages when this problem occurs, resulting in more time going in-and-out of airplane mode just to send a simple message).
(edit: this posted to a different forum - the above was in reference to posts #205-207 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/epi...anogenmod-11-official-nightly-t2852074/page21)
Dastin, thanks again for everything that you do!
Installing CM 11
I apologize if this sounds like a very newb question, but I want to install CM 11 on my Epic 4g Touch. I simply haven't used it in a long time, and I won't even be using it as a phone. I am rooted on a stock 4.3 with AGAT recovery. Do I just need to load an AOSP kernel and then flash CM 11? Is it that simple, or do I need to load a different modem as well?
Thanks!

SuperSU crashing
It appears that after flashing the latest nightly of CM11, my phone has lost root. SuperSU is installed, but no apps can are using it. I can't modify the /etc/hosts file on my phone. Is there something that I need to do other than flashing superSU from the recovery menu to get root working? I also checked one of the free root checkers from the play store and it also said that my phone wasn't rooted.
I came from Touched by S4 ROM, made sure to default and wipe everything before moving to CM11. While on touched by S4, I had root.
TIA for any assistance.

Try to flash super Su again. Or just reflash cm.
3g

Yes. First flash a stock ROM. Update prl profiles and whatever until ting works. You'll hopefully have 3g and lte doesn't matter because it won't work on this phone after jelly bean. Then flash whatever you like.

Hi linux guy,
Thanks for your note up, but unfortunately I followed your steps reverted back to stock GB28 where everything including 3g was working perfectly and then flashed CM11 with ICS modem but all I get is a 3g icon on the signal bar but there is no actual internet?!!, is shows connected but no net!
My camera will not take video! Anyone have the solution to this problem?
Did you try using a different resolution? I know mine would only take 480, until i flashed this new kernel...

APNs in Dec. nightlies
Latest nightlies (12/20, 12/23, 12/24) lost ability to send text completely. Send button is grayed out and does nothing. Thought it might be due to the change in APN settings. Going to settings - mobile networks - apns does nothing. Read back through the thread several times and resetting apns back to default does nothing, the choices to choose sprint, boost, VM, or ting never appears. Tried wiping /system, /data, and /cache and installing fresh. Still same results. Restoring back to my last known working nightly (11/23) texting works fine again without ever going to APN settings.
Am I missing something?
4G WiMax?
Please tell! Do you mean you actually have 4G WiMax working on CM 11 with this kernel???
@dirtyhewr
I sent some screens of the difference between before and after on the kernel's thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=57664744
... This phone now runs better than it ever has... No lags at all anymore! I am running cm nightly with the trim+FPbug kernel... AND 4g still works... Anytime i have flashed another kernel on this ROM, 4g stops working...
... Also, and i don't know if it has anything to do with kernel, it must, but i can now record 1080hd with the camcorder... I have never been able to do that before!
Make sure you thank @Lanchon for his work here... This is huge for this device!

Does 4G work on the 11-12-14 SNAPSHOT build? Which nightly do I need to use to get 4G WiMax up and running again? When I first updated to 4.4.4 a long time ago, WiMax was killed by upgrading beyond 4.2.2 forever.

** Got Verizon Note 4 Dev Edition to work with Alliance T-Mobile ROM!! Data, calling, sms, mms work ! I smell a daily driver! **
ATTENTION: Please be careful make a nandroid of your current Verizon ROM. I am not responsible if you break your phone or lose data on your device!
**This is using the BETA version of Alliance ROM for T-Mobile Note 4. Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-0-1-allianceromn910t-18-themes-huge-t3085560 to get an idea of the features of this ROM. Give lacoursiere18 and hsbadr a thanks and donate to them for making this great ROM and kernel.
Follow these steps one after the other and don't stop**
1. Make sure you are on a stock OAF Lollipop ROM using Multisystem #1 kernel, I think I used Rick's OAF Lollipop ROM. I am on BOG modem so I'm pretty sure any Lollipop modem will work with this.
2. Make copies on your SD card of:
- system/buildprop.xml & cscversion.txt
- system system/etc/apns-config.xml
- system/etc/permissions/verizon_net_sip_library.xml & vzwapnlib.xml
- system/lib/libril.so & libsec-ril.so
- system/apps/VzwActivationAgent & vzwapnpermission folders
- system/framework/VZWAPNLib.apk
- system/privapp/VZWAPNService & secmms_candy folders
- system/csc folder
Reboot
4. Reboot into recovery and make a TWRP backup of everything
5. While in recovery dirty flash Alliance ROM BETA on top of stock lollipop ROM OAF that is using Multisystem #1 kernel (Wipe everything except data, and SD of course.)
6. Delete system/privapp/diagmonagent.apk and system/lib/libdiagmonagent.so because at startup it was sending some kind of diagnostics and thought it was messing with the data drop. Ever since these changes and a reboot data has been stable!
Reboot
7. Download root browser and swap those copied files in the appropriate file location. Change them to the correct permissions (the folders get 0755 and the files 0644, compare with other files and folders that are in place already. Make sure you change the permissions on all folders copied over and their contents). **Longest Step**
Reboot
8. Edit feature.xml in the system/csc folder and add:
<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true
</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>
Above these tags on the bottom :
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeature>
This enables auto download mms when data is toggled off !
Reboot
9. Make an backup in TWRP and you have your own custom ROM
I'm pretty sure this ROM is not compatible with xposed but it is very customizable, smooth, and it comes with a lot of features built in.
**READ ME**
Bugs:
- Silent mode is only available using the toggle. Volume down only goes to vibrate.
**
- Battery section in settings is missing
- No way to remove battery percentage in status bar
(Workaround: Download "Battery Usage Shortcut" from the Playstore to access the battery section and to remove battery percentage)
**
- No way to uninstall 3mint battery mod without messing the systemui up
- Now that the mobile network settings are correct the advanced calling option is avaliable but it force closes and messes up your data connection. A reflash of everything will be needed so don't click on it! (I have a feeling a Verizon app is missing but not going crazy about this)
Any suggestions or thoughts about these current bugs would be helpful.
I cannot guarantee all Alliance settings will work but most of them do, it's awesome.
This manual port is now stable ! All basic phone functions work. Let me know if you come across any bugs or issues not related to Alliance settings. I will try to help fix it.
Thanks Stedrocklp for taking the time to try and get this working. Jal3223 thanks for sharing that key porting info!!! Wouldn't be possible without your help! Thanks hsbadr for developing Multisystem kernel ! Thanks lacoursiere18 for creating this ROM !
I did the same thing with similar results. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge needed to get it functioning on the VZW N4. I still faithfully run alliance on my N3 and am dying to have it on my N4. Maybe we should try to get one of our great devs to hook us up.

I hear you man I came from the Note 2 with Alliance. That would be nice hopefully one sees this thread. So I should be a little more descriptive with the process of getting it stable with just mms and sms failing. I am sure coming from any LP ROM without xposed preloaded will work. I dirty flashed from Ricks ROM and get a Play Services error and it keeps popping up. I went into the app info of Google settings app, clicked manage storage, and wiped all data and then cache. After that it seems stable. I also edited the build.prop using build prop editor and changed all the tmo entries with vzw, saved, and rebooted and got the Verizon data icon signals. The mms and sms issue I believe has something to do with APNS but idk how that works. There is no way to edit the APNs in the mobile network settings by the way. I'm dying to get this to work too lol
I actually went in and put in the Verizon apns in the apns-conf.xml and I still couldn't get sms to work. What's funny is that I did get MMS to work so when I sent a message to anyone, I would send a pic too. My friends and family were like why do you keep sending nonsense photos LOL. Would it be something with the kernel/boot.img you think?

What values do you replace in the apns-conf.xml ? Yeah it's probably the boot.img how do we replace that? I tried doing this in the past but couldn't find our boot.img in a ROM. And every time I zipped the ROM back it never flashes always an error. I think it needs to be signed but idk how to do that. We're almost there !
I am going to try to swap the APN's and the boot IMG from a working Verizon rom and see what happens. I got so close to having it work I just couldn't get sms to work no matter what edits or adjustments I made. Having the MMS work meant that there was hope there must just be something I am missing. Let me do some tinkering and see if I can come up with something functional. If there is a will there is a way. Right?

Maybe we should replace these files too? And what do you think this sentence means? That could be the problem, maybe? Lol
So far I have swapped the APNs and have copied the verizon specific apps that you mentioned. I am currently at the alliance boot animation but ? takes so long to load on the first boot I can't tell if it's stuck or I am impatient.

Well I am getting closer to success. I got it to boot all the way though and go through the setup process. One problem; No Service! For some reason I am getting no service at all so I will have to recheck that all the Verizon BS is in place and working. Geesh Verizon sure does make this more difficult than it needs to be. Moving in the right direction though!

That's great that you got it to boot. Even though this may seem tedious, maybe try doing one verizon specific app by one? And maybe try replacing the T-Mobile mms-candy with the verizon one. I forgot lacoursiere18 recommended that when I was trying to make it work in the past. I tried doing it while I had Alliance installed and it messed up the app. The emoji kinda like this one was in place of the send button. It was actually pretty funny that that happens but idk maybe having it pre-installed will have better results? He also said something about the libs but I guess we should try one change at a time lol
I read the permissions of this application and it seems to deal with sending and receiving text messages and mms. Maybe this is the piece that was missing after editing the apns?
The T-mobile variant has two. Bin files the I removed thinking the we wanted to use the verizon modem but maybe they need to be there so I just added them back. I added the activation agent and all other verizon apps and libs. I couldn't find a lib file for mms_candy but I did swap them. Did you edit anything when you flashed or did you just flash as-is?

So far I only flashed as is. What values did you change on the apn config to get mms working? I completely swapped it with the Verizon one but that didn't work.
Got mms to work using GoSms and manually configuring the APN the msmc whatever to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
And the mms port to 80.
Now if we can only get sms to send we have a fully functioning alliance ROM on Verizon !
Disclaimer: I am not a ROM developer. I am a developer and Linux user, but I know next to nothing about creating Android ROMs. Whole other world to me.
I'm wondering if all three of us Epic 4G Touch users left might be able to get a working port of LineageOS 14 on our aging handsets.
The good news:
I just loaded the Official LineageOS 14 for i9100 20170419 nightly on my d710, and IT WORKS
...almost.
The bad news:
The ROM boots up, everything works and looks normal except for:
Wi-Fi - Settings app spins with message "Turning Wi-Fi on..."
Menu Button
Home Button
Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to fix these problems. I prefer on-screen navigation anyway, so that's probably an easy "fix." But Wi-Fi will probably be trickier. I assume it's kernel related, but I can't find any Nougat kernels for this device, so that will likely be the most difficult part.
Thoughts? Anyone else out there have any input or want to give this a crack?

I believe the method that finally worked for me was: Odin to EL29 rooted, Philz recovery, TWRP, CM11.
That's where I was before I tried the i9100 LOS 14.1 ROM.

If you have root in CM11, you can use Flashify to flash the new TWRP .img file.
My E4GT still works, more than glad to throw my hand in the pot to make something happen. Haven't used the S2 in years so it's not updated, currently running an old build of CWM and a CM11 nightly with iso-rec support. If you could bring me up to speed on what I need to get from where I am to a newer recovery(TWRP preferred) and your ROM I'll start playing around with it. Last time I searched all of this to update left me more confused than anything with it being mixed up with the i9100 and i777 information as well.

You should be able to flash the latest TWRP (for i9100) using Flashify. Beware that I have not been able to get TWRP to mount my external SD card, so any files you want to flash in TWRP need to be stored on internal memory. Everything else works perfectly. Mounting USB storage in TWRP works well, and that's how I've been able to get new files on the phone when I needed to.
After installing TWRP, make sure you run Lanchon's crossflash patch on it: https://github.com/Lanchon/TWRP-Patcher-SGS2
I used

lanchon-twrp-patcher-20160417-crossflash-d710.zip

Yeah, I took another look last night, the information available now clarifies things that seemed a mess back when I first looked into this.
Have you made any progress with your ROM? If the hardware keys are still not working it's because key mapping is different on i9100, also rotation is backwards or at least it was years back when I flashed a i9100 ROM on my D710. You can remap the hardware keys so that they function correctly. Other than that there should be no differences.

So... I guess nothing ever happened with this ROM? I have a SCH - R760 from US Cellular that AFAIK is compatible with d710 roms. I would still be interested in running Nougat on my device - even though my eMMC seems to have issues at the moment.

Understood. So you said that the buttons didn't work and the wifi wasn't turning on. Were there any other major bugs that you noticed? I might try and make it work for our device, because why not!

Those were the only two things I noticed. Bluetooth worked. I didn't see any apps crash (but I couldn't load new ones because no wifi). I didn't try cell service because I don't even have Sprint anymore, but I suspect that probably didn't work for the same reason wifi was killed.
Thanks for looking into this! I'm still interested if we can find a way to make it work. I just don't know much about creating ROMs. I'm not an Android dev.
