Cyanogen 11 Nightly [ROM] on L720T...

Was not sure exactly where to post this but after testing the latest nightly CM11 I can report it works well I felt like I was taking a shot in dark heard some people say there was no roms for T series version of phone.... I am not using spark or anything with triband so dunno how it will work for other users.... Seems very stable... Just thought id share for those of us with what seems like a rare version of this phone...

While TouchWiz is driving me absolutely insane, I want the options of TDD-LTE and SMR LTE when it comes to my area. I haven't heard of any devs working on ROMs for the device. Maybe reach out to the maintainer to see if they will build for the device to support Triband.

I have Spark, and eCSFB has never worked right once when running a non-TouchWiz ROM on the L720T.
Makes my phone a nice data modem, but a paperweight when it comes time to make a phone call or send a SMS.
Losing Wi-fi calling / texting also sucks.

The triband functionality is built into the modem.. not the rom.. I was worried of the same thing. Tested and proven to get spark speeds on AOSP.

Does this work on nc6?
I have been noticing that people have been leaving out details that are important.
Which recovery and rom do i need for nc6 4.4.2.... You know, the wifi calling update?

I have had spark speeds on several AOSP roms. To my knowledge and as far as all my testing has proved.. the spark and or triband functionality of our phone WORKS on ANYTHING. From TW roms to CM and AOSP. All have worked time and time again.

Its my general understanding that all tri-band does is give you 2 extra frequencies... That being said... I have no problems running CM11 on L720T I can get sms messages and make phone calls I do not have any issues with anything else wifi or bluetooth other then crashing when using IR functions. My data is nice and fast....
I would like to start developing a rom for L720T to take advantage of spark tri-band its just hard at the moment with the limited user base... More people seem to develop more for the variants of S4 but not the T sniff sniff.....
If there are other developers with this phone that wants to put the brain power together I am down to make it happen...

All asop roms work on triband. Just not tw roms. But noone wants tw or u wouldnt be on xda in 1st place lol

How are you able to test if tri-band is working while using a ROM?

The data connection is established at the modem level, standard Android APIs allow the ROM and Kernel to communicate with the Modem for all data transfers. As long as the modem can communicate with a cell site that supports B26 or B41 LTE or B10 CDMA 1xA, the ROM doesn't care. It just uses the transport.

Is there a way 2 make the sprint s4 work on a different provider.

i got a sph-l720t n i am looking for a custom rom last 2 weeks, i am new, n my phone is dead now, i couldn't find a correct rom for l720t, all i could find was for l720 and the above link seeems to be dead, can i get an updated version, thankyou

As far as I've seen, anything that will work on the 720 will also work on the 720T.
Here's where you want to look for custom ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/development

Hmm, sorry if I'm late, but if you're looking for a blazing fast rom for the l720 (also for l720t) go for the ported Google Play Edition rom on XDA. I believe it has optimizations for the S4 as well.

[Q] Running International Roms

Was anyone able to successfully get data running on international roms? Everything seems to work BESIDE data...which is important lol

I've seen 4 or 5 threads just like this and its a great questiom, although none of them have any replies.
Are we able to flash AT&T Roms also or just INTL Roms?
I'm gonna grab the TMO Kernel and start testing this a bit, I just want to clarify so I don't hard brick the radios or some crazy stuff like that.

The international roms need files replaced to get data to work any att/canadian rom will work on our device with only kernel change

Anybody know which files we neec to change to run International roms on the 910T?

Am I the only one that has problems with GPS on any non TW rom?

I have the 910T with COG2 BaseBand.
GPS doesn't work at all when I flash to any non TW rom. CMRemix, SlimRemix, XenonHD, Dirty Unicorns etc...
It works perfect on all TW roms currently using TEKXodus Rv3 N5R2.
I really want to go back to ASOP style rom as I don't use any TW exclusive features but GPS is a must for my line of work.
I have not seen any other complaints in the asop type roms threads which leads me to believe its something I'm doing wrong. But What? I have no idea.
I always wipe format my phone before flashing new roms and follow the directions. Is it just me? or are others having the same issue? Is there a fix?

i would stay away from aosp type roms they just arent ready to be used as they have lots of issues but thats generally the case, if you want to have an aosp style rom then just use an aosp style launcher or something

Yeah that's what I'm currently doing but it's still bloated. Also I seem to have 1 issue with all TW roms aswell. Anytime I'm connected to WiFi it's super slow. I have 50mb Up and 10mb down so it's not my internet. When I flash to an asop type romantic GPS doesn't work but WiFi works perfectly. It's weird. Anyways that's not a big deal as I have unlimited data on my phone.
I just find it odd that I'm the only one having these problems. I have a feeling it's my COG2 baseband that breaks WiFi on asop type roms because before flashing to latest tek rom I had xenonHD flashed with the baseband prior and if I remember correctly everything worked fine except for a random reboot here and there.
I don't know if I can downgrade baseband and I'm afraid to try as I use this phone daily for work. I can't afford to brick it.
Anyways thanks for your reply. I was beginning to think the note 4 forum was dead.

I doubt it has anything to do with cog2, aosp roms are inherently unstable as alot of things get broken until everything gets fixed which can take like two years after the device gets released, you were using tekhd which is a highly modified rom which means that before flashing you need to first odin and do a complete wipe including internal storage which i highly doubt your doing which is causing all your issues,

I always format all storage on phone including internal storage. The only thing I don't touch is my microSDcard. However I always done this in recovery not Odin. I will have to find out how to wipe/format with Odin.

if your odining the base and doing the clean flash properly and still having issues then its your hardware as the note 4 is known to have gps and camera issues, rma for a new device

AOSP is where I first noticed my GPS issues. It was virtually impossible to get a lock. Then I went to Stock which was OK for a few days. Finally realized it's not the rom GPS in my phone was just garbage. Sent it back for a rma.

I'm on slimremix and its working fine. It also worked with dirty unicorns. I have noticed GPS on my note 4 sucks compared to my note 3 (however that was on sprint, not that it makes a difference unless the different hardware required to run CDMA makes them run different GPS sensors vs T-Mobile)

Thanks guys for the insight. I have never rma a device before. What is the process? Do I goto tmobile or straight to samsung?
EDIT: Do I need to flash stock tmobile rom before I rma? Right now running TekX

Definitely because they may check. I think it's easier to go through tmobile because if you try to go through Samsung they may check if you voided Knox and if you did they may void your warranty so I suggest going through T Mobile

The Unofficial List of ROMS

NOTICE
THIS IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
***I didn't even realize it was being posted in, my apologies for not updating this sooner.
I have decided to compile a list of ROMs that I have successfully booted, while maintaining root. This is, more or less, a continuation of this thread, just wanted to create a more thorough and organized collection. The Flashfire app adding aroma support has really opened up some possibilities for us, and with the extended delay of Marshmallow, I felt this could be helpful to some of you wanting to try something new. Also, I'd like to thank @Rakuu for the idea, I want to test more roms and expand on our list.
WARNINGS: The roms listed are not officially supported, thus results may vary. This is the standard liability warning, I am not responsible for any damage you do to your device using the roms and/or methods given. In the event a rom doesn't boot, you can try flashing the following kernels for your device using ODIN in the AP slot. It should also be mentioned that some of these roms contain aroma installers and require Flashfire, as safestrap does not support aroma.

Hi there,
I tried this rom, but hangouts crashes. Tried a full wipe, cleared dalvik and cache, cleared data and cache on hangouts, uninstalled and reinstalled hangouts, still crashes. Does it work for you?

Well, I dumped the Infiniti ROM. I need hangouts. Tried everything including flashing 3 different Gapps packages for 5.0 through flashfire. I've tried probably 15 different Roms over the years and I've stumbled on the best one of all:
Freedom from is by far the best for the att s5. It has an AOSP feel to it. You dont even notice TouchWiz. It has the Google dialer and camera(won't do 4k, but I use open camera and force 4k. The dialer alone makes it so much better. I encourage everyone on att s5 to use freedom ROM. I flashed it though flashfire.
One note. There is no boot up screen, just stays on the initial Samsung boot loader screen. First boot took like 10 minutes too. Also, you will need to change the APN (it's set for Verizon) to your carrier. I'm on an unlocked att s5 using T-Mobile. Was easy to change the APN.
This ROM rocks!

Well, just noticed the Freedom rom doesn't have any tethering options. If anyone knows how to enable this, please let me know. I'm off to put another rom on this (again). Thank you ATT for locking the bootloader, jackasses.

Thank you very much. But i'm lost in how to install these roms, especially the Phoenix. Need help. (G900A).

I'd like to try v9 but seems Noone wants to actually post any help for all the people asking ....just telling people to flash in ff and nothing else is not very helpful .... do I wipe ?do I need a separate kernel ? Is there Change log for this version ? Anything I need to no about it ?

I just flashed the Phoenix v11 and i got the AT&T no go screen. As @IJoxer wrote, i flashed the G900A OC4 Kernel via Odin in AP slot and download mode in the phone (power+vol up+home) and the rom booted nicely. I think that they already tested these roms of the post and they work somehow.
Just want to thank again for all effort.
PS: is a team developer rom better than single person rom in general? Any advice of Phenix vs TMS5 vs Alliance?

As far as I have seen tms 5 was better than any thing we had until the phoenix ROM came around its a bit snappier than tms 5 and a bit more stable also . tms 5 seemed laggy after a while . also I've noticed if you don't leave at least 1gb of phone memory for any ROM to run on it will get buggy . for a while I thought it was the ROMs . but found out it was lack of memory . but I prefer Phoenix ROM myself.

Thank you for you help!
I used for a considerable time the TMS5 3.0 and the Alliance v8 roms and I had the same impression about the laggy stuff. Also, I came in the same conclusion as you about the time of use, lack of memory and get buggy. I agree in all of that.
I tried the Phoenix yesterday and I liked it very much, but I got confused about the aroma choices. Could help me with the must have choices? About the kernel OC4, is this the stock kernel for android 5.0? I noticed thar TMS5 3.0 and Alliance v8 use the OC7. What's the difference and i will lost much in using the OC4?
Is there any other roms that you recommend?

OC7 is basically the OC4 Kernel for the G900F, which is the international version of the S5 that the ROM was developed for.
When you see a ROM that needs OC4 or OC7, its usually safe to use OC4, OF2, or OF3 because they all run the exact same Kernel.

Hey there, sorry I've been a ghost here lately. I'm also anxious to see if @AptLogic gets MM rooted rom running. As for a recommendation on the roms listed, I would definitely recommend Xtrestrolite 2.2, and it is my personal favorite. It comes with literally no apps though, so you'll need to download Google Play Services/Playstore manually and throw them on the phone via PC. I also recommend a file manager since you need to get around in order to install them.
Good luck!

Well at this point it seems that we need to be able to modify the boot image for the rooting... Which doesn't really bode well for us because locked bootloaders don't like it when you do that. Still working at it though, just trying to force a systemless root onto the system. Should have test build 3J out by this Saturday or sooner..
IN THE MEANTIME IF YOU WANT A S6 MM PORT I CAN GET THAT RUNNING IN A SNAP!

Personally, I'd prefer the rooted MM rom, I've had it with stock, and I'm sure an s6 port would be a headache without root. However, you're the one contributing, so I suppose it's up to you, either way it's appreciated. I'm still looking at my options to downgrade, if any, I'm willing to test, but looking for possible recovery options just in case.
I need me some root!

Question: Using sm-n920c in usa (at&t)

Hi all,
I recently ordered SM-N920C on ebay. I have not received it yet, expect to get it sometimes next week. I am going to use it on AT&T network, and checking several threads here, some mentioned that it works on AT&T.
I have no idea what stock installed firmware come with it (since I don't have the device with me), however per ebay seller listed as SM-N920CZKAXFA, so not sure, it seems like south africa.
ok now here are my questions:
1. Does it makes big differences what firmware it is on if you live in USA (like Google play, Google acting crazy since you are in USA..etc)
2. I heard that there could be issue with getting 4G/LTE performance issue, etc. Do you experience it any differences? or any other issues you experienced while using it on AT&T?
3. I am planing to root it, I know there are couple of custom kernels out there for it, would you recommend stock kernel or custom kernel? I like to keep phone pretty much stock based since this phone will be my daily drive.
4. If you recommend custom stock base ROM, what would be?
5. I hope Samsung brings back "Note" brand! (no this is not question )
appreciated in advance if you give some feedbacks above concerns and questions!
thanks,
J.

3. I am planing to root it, I know there are couple of custom kernels out there for it, would you recommend stock kernel or custom kernel? I like to keep phone pretty much stock based since this phone will be my daily drive.
4. If you recommend custom stock base ROM, what would be?
5. I hope Samsung brings back "Note" brand! (no this is not question )
appreciated in advance if you give some feedbacks above concerns and questions!
thanks,
J.

I saw that you was asking in the tmo 920t thread the 920c will work great with att, thats what im using mine with and with LTE. Just root with cf-auto root everything you need are in the thread. When i rec. mine it was on 5.1.1 lp but odined to mm. You shouldnt have a problem at all on att with the 920C.

thanks for this info, made me feel a bit better knowing it will work on AT&T. As far as rooting goes, based on my research on threads, most recommends custom kernel(s) for easy rooting, but seems like using custom kernel may introduce some other issues (based on bugs they listed).
are you using it as stock and rooted? or you are on custom ROM?

Every device i own is rooted except my att note 5. You can root with cf auto root from odin with stock kernel but will trip knox 0x1 its no big deal with me being in the states using a international device no warrenty anyhow.. https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ This is the cf auto root just look for the file N920C But this one is for mm firmware. Ive already flashed most of the roms on the 920c thread and all behave pretty good. But with kernels i mostly use stock kernel or skyhigh kernel. Your just have to play around a bit and see what works best for your liking....

same here....I always rooted all my devices (except my Nexus 6P), and I really don't give darn about warranty, and top of this Note 5 (bought from ebay, still did not receive it yet) has no warranty anyway.
so simple download CF-Auto-Root file for 920C and flash it with Odin..done....looks like CF-Auto-Root-noblelte-nobleltejv-smn920c.zip there now says 6.0.1 (MMB29K.N920CXXU2BPB9), so seems like it is up to date.
by the way, someone told me stock kernel gives better battery life than custom kernels......ohh well, like you said, play around and see what works....but I have feeling I will stick with stock kernel (rooted with CF-Auto Root).

Your on the right path then after rooting with cf autoroot with odin first then flash twrp in odin 3.0.2.0 img.tar file https://dl.twrp.me/noblelte/ after you got that set up make a fresh backup of that stock rom so you always have it. Battery life depends on the user and the number of apps each user uses if one gets 5 hrs sot that doesnt mean the other users will..

Hi Kenny,
I finally received my Note 5 - SM-N920C.
One question: when I checked About Device, right under Software Info tab, it says United Arab Emirates, probably the firmware it is on I guess...
well, i guess my first two step will be root it and then install TWRP, then think about trying some stable N7 port ROMs that can be my daily drive without bunch of bugs...

Yup same as mine UAE I dont know what csc its on now i have checked the last few flashes. I'm running a n7 port well thats about all i run on the n5 s6 edge + and n4 now almost forgot tmo n4 also I can send you a thread link by pm in respect to other devs. You got the right order but after twrp do a backup in case anything that would go wrong along the line. Did the n5 have lp or mm. i took mine straight to mm out of the box.....

got rooted, installed TWRP, did full backup, save the backup on my PC....so I am ready for some N7 goodies, PM me for N7 ROM thread you use since you are in USA, so probably you have better experience on N7 ROMs, which is stable works on great on ATT or T-Mobile..etc...

Let me work my way to the thread I'm on the nexus 6p threads today..lol
