I wanted to request any of the developers for our phone to port over a ROM made by soloilmeglio for the international variant of Note 4. The ROM is called X-Note and can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-x-note-build-1-0-nj4-t2935625.
The developer (soloilmeglio) seems to be well regarded and it looks like the ROM has been crammed with a ton of features. It would be nice if we could get it for our phone also.
You are probably better off contacting the developer and working with him to test and see if he would port it over. Good luck, looks like a great rom.

Yea I suppose if nobody steps up I'll take a shot at it myself. I'm not a developer but I did some research online and various guides teach that you need to replace about 3 folders in the system directory to port a ROM.
I was just hoping that one of the devs would at least acknowledge this thread and take my request into consideration....

I'd also be willing to test. I've never developed before, but I've been flashing for about 3 years now, so I'm moderate experience in testing.
To op if it the same principal as the note 2 which it probably is the international version is pretty hard to port att is the easiest.I'm still debating on the note or nexus 6 if I get the note I will help out some.

I read a few people from the T-mobile phone discussing porting in the thread. I had the note 2 before this phone but don't remember such a discussion. Would you mind linking a thread where people talk about difficulties porting an international version ROM?

Just wanted to update you that i am working on this. I have it booting and everything is working with a couple of workarounds. I had to import the apn file from our stock rom to get lte and data working right. I am trying to fix the prl and profile update. I also have hangouts crashing whic i am working on. I reached out to the developer of the rom because i want his permission before i post it.

Awesome! Thanks!
I'm actually not going to post it yet. I spoke to the developer and we are going to bring it to sprint hopefully next week. If it doesn't happen I will post what I have so far. Profile and prl update don't work. LTE and data work but you have to bring APN from old ROM. Was never able to send MMS, not sure about receiving.

Wow. Thank you so much. I had given up any hope that a developer would take this up. I was going to take a shot at it myself but I was wary about the kinds of issues you mention and wouldn't have any idea on how to deal with them.
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
If all you want right now is the Sprint system update then I can do that as long as you have the original dev's permission to port and post it in our Sprint forum. If you already have data working then upload it to AFH or similar an PM me a link. But if im not mistaken, international phones lack a lot (if not all) of the necessary code/files necessary that reside in settings, jars & framework. Ill know right away if i peek inside just one file. If it lacks the necessary code/files then you might as well forget it because it would be like spending $3,000 to replace the transmission in your $500 Hyundai. Not worth it in that case.
I had the port working but data wasn't great. Only had 3g in certain places. APN wouldn't stick if you select LTE. I think it had to do with the profile not updating, so that might fix data. I'm actually getting a new phone this week because of a major lag issue so I stopped working on it. I spoke to the developer. He said he would help but has been unresponsive this week. I can wait till you release your next rim. You did a good job on the stock ROM. I wish I didn't have a hardware issue.

Ok, I am new to this business of rooted phones, custom roms, and mods. I had someone root my phone mainly to help with battery life and to be able to use the wifi/tethering without T-Mob charging me extra or eating up my data plan every month. I have installed a 3rd party wifi app and it works fine but my data is still being eaten up. I have seen where people are saying the stock rom needs to be changed 1st. How do I do that? What is a custom rom and which 1 do I need, also how do I install it. I will be the 1st to admit this whole thing is foreign to me. I need help. Anyone willing to hold my hand and teach me? I'm a great student. Thanx for your time...

I did have another question though. I did a bunch of searching and found a lot of stuff but none of them have helped me with my new problem. Here goes, I would like to use my phone as a wifi hotspot or tethered hotspot without it eating up my data so fast. I have seen that it is possible to do but like I said I can't get any of them to work right. They work ok but it is still chewing up my data. T-Mobile already charges me too much for data and I would like a work around I can use. Let me know if anyone can walk me through the steps. If you need more info from me just let me know...
T-Mobile has some of the cheapest data rates around.
Their capped/throttled data plans include hotspot functionality. The " truly unlimited plans" do not.
Also check the play store. I know of one called " foxfi" that a friend has had luck with.
there is no spoon.....

Just curious, didn't know if there was any interest in this or if anybody else had looked into it. it should be doable now that we have S-Off and can unlocked bootloaders. Has anyone else attempted a port yet for the m7vzw or would anyone be interested in seeing one and/or helping with one. I'm pretty limited in my knowledge of the subject, but would be willing to toss my hat in the ring to try and help out if there's any interest.
I would be on board for trying to port. I can ask some guys to see if they would help.

Sweet, I'm looking into it myself to see how much of a challenge it would be, I know there seems to be some issues with 4.3 on our device, but we don't have a cm10.1 kernel we can use, so I don't know how much that'll hurt us.

The cell or data connection problem is likely because that build is for the AT&T and T-MO M7. Not the VZW M7.

I would be very pleased to see this done. I would be willing to test, if testers are needed. I won't be much for helping unfortunately as I am not skilled in porting as of yet, but would be glad to support.
checked out the newest post on galaxynote2root.com about turning my note 2 into a S5/Note3 hybrid.
FOllowed the directions telling me to flash the Verizon version to my Sprint device but it failed. Normally no big deal but like an idiot I did not back up and I did not have another ROM to fall back on.
I have a card reader adapter that I have attempted to put other random roms onto and flash through TWRP but EVERYTHING fails and I can't figure out why. SOmebody please help me out here
......
Update: I've been able to flash the Illusion Rom with no Fail message but it just boots to the Samsung Galaxy Splash and doesn't move like it's loading the greatest cut scene ever. So yea still stuck if anybody could help out
Ok I can most likely help but I need more information. Give me a link to the thread you followed and the rom you flashed. Please send it in a PM so others wont see it and try to do the same thing.
Another user recently posted a video link to something claiming the same thing in one of my rom threads. I have ported over a Verizon rom to sprint and it is not a simple thinbg to do. Wish you would have seen this in my thread before you tried it. Hopefully I can get you up and running again.

I went to that forum and read everything along with the comments. Looks like they really have no clue what they are doing. The users who did not mess up their device (non sprint users) do not have working wifi because they do not have the proper information. There are specific files on each device that is needed and they were not told to change them. I left a mostly nice comment about their steps for sprint.
Sorry guys I was already heading to bed when you guys started messaging back. I appreciate you guys taking the time out to help me with my problem. jlmancuso I've sent you that PM with hopefully all the information you need and requested.
Update: I have just attempted to Flash the stock firmware from samsung-updates.com through ODIN and I am unfortunately still getting no further than the Samsung Galaxy Note II splash and of course I've also lost TWRP
Final Update: After flashing the stock firmware back to my phone I went into the basic recovery mode that it has and did a factory reset yet again and apparently that did it and my phone is back to it's normal self.
Thanks for your help guys ... kinda lol

You should give more information. I doubt anybody wants to test anything on their new $700 Note 4 without knowing what you are working on and who developed it. Not to sound rude but you must give people more information as well as remember to type in you Hangouts username/email. I hope you have something nice in the works. thanks for the heads up on upcoming rom.
I think he meant to say dynamic kat and it is a rom on the note 4 for t-mobile i think. I tried porting it over also. How about some details on what you think is working and what isn't. Did you also get the developers permission? I am not on hangouts but you can send me a pm. I'll have 2 note 4's till the end of the week when i have to return 1, so i don't mind throwing something on it.

Everywhere you post your typos are painful. Slow down and take the time to correct your crap, especially starting a new thread. If you just asked Brian from dynamic he would more than likely help instead of you just doing your thing. How's that aosp you supposedly have going on.?
There was no permission given for a port.
As @jdidtht mentioned, I would have helped anyone that was serious about trying to bring this over.
Being as how you cannot spell the name correctly, I cannot take what you doing here as being serious. If you are porting for your own personal use, great! If you are porting with the intent of distribution here in the Sprint forums, Contacting me first would had been the proper thing to do.
