i9505 Omega ROM on Sprint SPH-L720 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

For those interested I have flashed Omega v3.1 for i9505 on my Sprint SPH-L720
By no means am I recommending flashing this on Sprint.
I am just relaying my experience YMMV
The latest version of Omega for i9505 GS4 can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528
Before I flashed Omega I was already on MDL update and I replaced the following files in the Omega zip:
boot.img in "indie\" with a boot.img from one of the custom MDL kernels available for SPH-L720.
"system\lib\modules" with Stock MDL "system\lib\modules" then copied over "system\lib\modules" from the chosen custom MDL SPH-L720 kernel. (This was to first replace with stock modules then replace with custom kernel modules to account for overlap)
"system\build.prop" and "system\kern_sec_info" with those files from your chosen MDL ROM or stock MDL ROM.
I am not sure exactly what any of these modifications did to make Omega boot on a SPH-L720. It just seemed like the logical thing to do.
If you look in the updater-script the install also backs up the efs partition fyi. Remove from updater-script if desired.
Some of the aforementioned modifications may not be necessary.
Initially after booting, Mobile data did not seem to work, but after a reboot and about 10mins 3G started working.
Still no 4G yet. I will update if I get 4G active.
Please Assist if you can
In "Settings->Connections->More Networks->Mobile Networks" there is an option for "Connections optimizer"
This is not available in stock settings.
There is also no longer the "Smart Mode" in Wifi settings.
I have blindly tried replacing the settings.jar in "system/framework" with stock then booted into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik then rebooted and settings are still the same.
If anyone wants to check this out or provide any feedback it would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: 6/1/2013
I have been messing around with this all day replacing various files with ones from stock MDL and still can only get 3G data working.
Initially after flashing if you look in "About Device -> Status" the phone is connected to the LTE band but data will not connect. After about 10 mins 3G connects and 4G will not reconnect.
If anyone can get 4G working on this please share what you did to get it working.

There is an easier way...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295557

if you are connected to LTE but status bar shows 3g look at the systemui and see if you have the lte pngs.

I was able to flash v19 omega rom i9505 version without any need of a kernel. Phone numbers work if I push 1 before I dial area code, recieving calls is no problem.
Data/MMS don't work. I have noticed that I don't have the option of changing APN's, but there are 3rd party apps on play store that do allow you to input APN's. I'm about to reflash cm10.2, and backup the APN's to sdcard, then flash v20 on (after it's done downloading), and see if I can restore the APN's that way.

Interested in the result

[ROM] G900TUVU1BNH5 ported from TMobile, rooted, deodexed, no knox, Download Booster

** DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I DO THIS AS A HOBBY AND SHARE MY FINDINGS IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE FINDS THEM USEFUL. **
** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **​
This is the latest KitKat 4.4.2 Rom from T-mobile. I ported it to ATT and tried to apply just enough modification to keep all the functionality and remove all the limitations. Nothing has been removed from the rom. The disabled apps are kept to a very minimum so this is NOT a de-bloated ROM. This is as close to stock as it gets. If you need a debloated version go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/development/rom-debloated-bnh5-ported-tmobile-t2901620
1- Pre-rooted and deodexed.
2- Knox, security apps, and updater disabled (your phone will no longer update itself without your knowledge)
3- Call recording enabled.
4- SDcard write restrictions removed.
5- Tethering restrictions removed.
6- Download Bosoter functional on AT&T network.
7- Lookout security and T-mobile apps that don't work on ATT are disabled.
If a certain features like WiFi calling doesn't work it's because AT&T doesn't support the feature.
Requirements:
1- Safestrap or custom recovery.
2- To begin with, you should be on ATT NCE4 rom or a variant of that. It has been reported that this is incompatible with NG3
Download link:
Download the latest version since I post an update immediately after discovering a bug.
Mega https://mega.co.nz/#!gpUAxBqI!ukloBoz5KRzixo8a2cEXxsmJ_K0z-8LAYDfKerkWG4U (version 5)
Instructions:
This is a flashable zip. Boot to recovery to flash it. I strongly recommend a clean wipe before flashing a new Rom.
After reboot, go through the initial setup and then leave the phone alone for 10 minutes before you use it. After the first reboot the data connection takes a while to be recognized. If it does not connect after 10 min, enable and disable airplane mode and it should be fine after that.

Screenshots
Download booster, home screen, call recording.
Change log:
V1: Disabled knox and updaters and security apps except for Lookout.
V2: Same as V1 with Lookout and T-mobile apps disabled.
V3: Essentially the same as V2. A small type was corrected.
V4: Disabled IQ lib and corrected a potentially fatal typo in the update script.
V5: Disabled two more annoying Samsung auto-update apps that somehow slipped through.
Amazing thanks

Any benefits of features to this to make it worth while over say, Goldeneye (MI2) or an International based ROM?

This is closer to pure stock, which may offer benefits in stability. As an example, when I flash this on my system the status remains official (no padlock on boot up).
Tried it. Still full of TMobile bloat and couldn't even do anything with it because "Context Service has stopped". Couldn't type anything anywhere like web browser, couldn't edit the notification toggles, anything. Generally has WAY too many TMobile remnants left in it. Once that's all fixed it might be stable. Not entirely sure this was even tested out.
Also, idk what "Security Apps" were removed but Lookout is most annoyingly still there.
Before it's asked yes, It was a CLEAN freshly wiped install.

I flashed this using safestrap on a phone that had G900AUCU1ANCE installed. Since safestrap does not allow boot.img to be written, the result was that after the flash AP and CSC changed to BNH5 but the kernel remained at ANCE1. With this configuration I didn't see any problems. Also, this rom doesn't come with a modem, so it relies that the phone comes with unaltered ATT modem, in my case ANCE1. So, do you have a different kernel or modem?
BTW, disabled security apps are Carrier IQ, and security manager service/provider.
PS: I agree with you on Lookout being a nuisance. I will disable it and re-upload.

I see. Perhaps T-mobile NH5 rom is not compatible with ATT NG3 boot.img or modem. I will put a note in the OP. Thanks for checking this out.
OP, can you do something similar with a stock G900F firmware that will be able to be flashed on a G900A?
I have a smg900az - on tmobile
I have a smg900az on Tmo- I want this rom for this purpose. Does this include tmobile AND att modems, or just att? I am downgrading from lollipop..
Because I am sure there are others with ATT based phones who may be on TMO- would you mind if I kang your rom, debloat it, or include a debloat option, add features, etc? All credit would be given to your base.. and it would be a minute before I can get it done anyways..
P.S. PLEASE PLEASE post the md5 checksum for each version! Many of us dont want to spend the time wiping, flashing, finding out it is corrupt, then having to restore, etc!
Attached is the md5 file for version 5 that es-file explore pushed out
md5: a40d7d1ee9903bbec056cd29d52c0277 <--- flashed without a hitch
also- downgraded from a lollipop rom(Liquidsmooth 5.0 revision 2 from the unified dev section) without anything special.. so now sure what is meant by-"To begin with, you should be on ATT NCE4 rom or a variant of that. It has been reported that this is incompatible with NG3" - but perhaps you should link to anything that explains why you believe this..
I am inviting you to a document here where I hope to get developers/contributors for all galaxy variants sharing their knowledge openly- http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...mplified-to-connect-developers-share-t2997834

1- This doesn't have any modem in it. Please only use version 5. The older ones are buggy.
2- You can use this ROM for your purpose. Thanks for giving credits.

Maybe you can clarify- the big modem thread on the tmo S5 section said not to flash their modems on another device.
My phone is back on tmo, so I imagine that running a tmo modem could increase reception..
And if you're willing to add flashable scripts that debloat and some others that make some good changes to the build prop- you have a good base, I wouldn't change it.. then people can just add/remove specific features in your own thread.
Join that Google doc in the last post, and create a section about what you've learned porting over the tmo rom.. more devs need to take it seriously.

Yes. Samsung account apps are disabled. You can go to /system/app or /system/priv-app, find the app that you want to enable, and renaming it from wuteverthenameiz.apk.bac to wuteverthenameiz.apk and reboot.
Since I'm on ANG3 rooted, no recovery, I'm happy with my current setup, I just need the stock T-Mobile apps. Can you help?

To whom it may concern;
I'm new to the world of programming but have been in the android game since the original g1 with T-Mobile. I've been flashing custom roms and recoveries since then and I have also been doing some very basic coding. C++ and C# primarily.

New to G2...flashed beta-3 and lost VZW LTE/3G data
I recently upgraded from VZW gnex to the LG G2 (bought off swappa). It was rooted already but running stock, and I'm used to AOSP, so I decided to go with Paranoid Android Beta-3. Long story short, I was having issues with LTE so I flashed the latest build (beta 5) and it got stuck in a boot loop. I was able to get back into recovery (TWRP 2.8.0.1) and restore nandroid backup, but when I booted I could no longer get verizon LTE or 3G data. Wifi connected fine, and calls/SMS go fine...just no mobile data. It does connect to "eHRPD" though, which doesn't have any data access.
Things I've tried:
1. Flashing a new bootstack. Tried 12A, 12B, 24A, 25A, 25B, 26A. No data with any of them
2. Flashing a new ROM (Tried Spirit ROM, which flashed fine but no data, and CM11, which went into a bootloop)
3. Calling *228 for a reset
4. Wiping the whole ROM and reflashing the same ROM and Gapps
5. Also tried setting APN as shown on a few websites. But as soon as I hit "Save" the modified APNs disappeared off the list.
Does anyone have any experience with losing LTE/3G like this? Luckily I have my old phone still so I just pop my SIM card back into it and it connects to data fine.
Updates
I am currently running the 10/25 build. When it comes to updates, do I want to flash over my current with the newer? Or is there a different process?
rpc:s-7:aec-0 after flash last night.
I'm getting the [rpc:s-7:aec-0] info from server error on my vs980 since i flashed last night. I flashed 26A, then PA, and then PA micro gapps.
this morning I did a full wipe and clean reinstall of PA, and I tried using the pico Gapps instead of the micro build. same result.
tried clearing google related app data, no fix. any ideas?
to the user with the apn problem, I had to set the apn 3 times before it saved
Love the ROM, great work. Was wondering how I would get Tmobile wifi calling option on this? I'm using the verizon vs980 version. Thanks
What about JDI pannel? PA kernel support JDI panel type?

Is this a unified build for all carriers?
network issues with xt1093 uscc
great rom! everything seems to work smoothly. the only issue i have had is trying to connect to my network. Do i need to configure the APN to my carrier or is there something i am missing? i installed correctly using TWRP, factory reset, flash zip, cleared dalvik, reboot,....
I'm assuming we'll lose the moto things like active display and the phone talking when at home and on the road?
network issues with xt1093 uscc
Well i flashed back to stock and had the same network issues with my stock rom. i found a number to re-register on the uscc network. it took like 15 seconds on an automated line and everything was setup, could make calls out, receive calls, texts, data,...etc.
I tried to reflash the newest nightly (01/16/2015) and setup the network using the same number from before. Had to change the network config file and modify the APN to my network. the config was LTE/CDMA/GSM auto (PRL) (prior to that it was set to LTE/GSM auto (PRL)) that put me into roaming long enough to dial the setup number. the setup went fine but after it finished......Nothing. i couldnt even force roaming in the network config.
I am thinking this is a modem firmware issue. I dont have an logcat files (working on that now). i tried to flash the stock modem firmware after flashing the nightly but didn't help
Still an awesome rom and would love to get networking running for this device.

No Network
I've flashed several of the nightlies (both early and most recent) and none of them have a network connection. I've tried factory resets, cache wipe, the usual and no luck. Is there a specific baseband version I need to be on or any APN tweaks I need to do?

Got it. The APN protocol for fast tmobile com in my stock rom was IPV6, and when I flashed this it was IPV4. Changing that got my data connection working.

Works in XT1097, right?

you have to go into TWRP, then WIPE then Format Data. then install rom and gapps.
you will format your memory loosing everything on your phone. i used to plug an usb otg with rom and gapps files.
double tap
Can we get some double tap to wake love? That was basically my favorite thing about my oneplus one and i put cm12 on that and works great
Let me know if thats going to happen or not because i cant live without that or the moto display
I think double tap to wake is not an interesting feature for a phone. Sure for a tablet but for your victara not. Waking up every two touches is not a good way. Ambient display is the best way for me, as good for looking for notifications as for unlocking.
I prefer power button indeed

What the difference between this rom and 1095 MM Rom

This one has support for verizon cdma. It is only useful for people who use verizon service.

AGISCI - Thanks for creating this thread. I hope we will have participation from folks who will test and provide feedback. I also hope that hutchjim will also provide info on how this ROM was created and what changes he made.
I believe the ROM is debloated from most of the Verizon apps and installs TWRP 2.8.7 as recovery. All of the Motorola Apps are there and function as expected from my experience. My phone connected to Verizon for voice and data. I do not know what other changes were made.
My experience to date has been mostly positive with just a few issues. I'll list those in a message a bit later. For now here is my interpretation of hutchjim's installation instructions:
1. Perform factory reset/wipe. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE AND ALL DATA ON IT. Either the built in reset/wipe of using TWRP. I used TWRP 3
2. Flash ROM
3. Perform another reset/wipe. I used TWRP 3
4. Phone will boot to initial setup. Follow prompts. Hutchjim says not to setup wifi during this phase but I see no way to avoid that. I connected to my home wifi at this point and continued setup.
5. As soon as you can go into Settings go to Cellular Networks > CDMA and select RUIM. No other changes should be made in the Cellular settings. You can also go to Backup & Reset > Reset Network Settings and reset there. Verify that the CDMA > RUIM setting is still selected.
6. Reboot and verify network settings.
7. Continue setup/restore from previous backup from Google. Any apps that need updating for MM will do so during the restore.
Doing the above results in a phone running 6.0.1 which identifies itself as a XT1097. I'll post a screen shot of the ABOUT phone screens later.
To root I used the files from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105
Flash using TWRP
1. root-boot-6.0-xt1095.zip
2. UPDATE-SuperSU-2.65.zip (there might be a newer one out there but this one worked for me. It should update later if needed)
After this I was able to install the latest Exposed framework and app, Gravity MM, XGELS and AOSPSignal icons modules with no problems.
I had been using this ROM with no real issues since last Friday. Legacystar reported that his phone was Roaming after he installed the ROM. Mine was not Roaming worked great - until this morning when it went into Roaming a couple of hours ago. Nothing I did could make it change back. I restored a backup of this ROM from Saturday but the phone is still Roaming. I've now gone back to my last 5.0 backup and will try to reinstall the ROM later when am back home. Will update then.
Here is a list of items I think we need more info on:
1. What was the base ROM for this? I think it is XT1097 based but it may be XT1095 since the XT1095 root files work.
2. What changes were made to get this to work wit the XT1096 radio and allow CDMA operation?
3. How do the Cellular settings work and how can they be improved for this ROM?
4. How to bypass the network setup screen during initial MM setup?
Hope this helps. I'll update more after work and when I reinstall the ROM. Until then I hope more testers chime in with their experiences.

AGISCI - Thanks for creating this thread. I hope we will have participation from folks who will test and provide feedback. I also hope that hutchjim will also provide info on how this ROM was created and what changes he made.
I believe the ROM is debloated from most of the Verizon apps and installs TWRP 2.8.7 as recovery. All of the Motorola Apps are there and function as expected from my experience. My phone connected to Verizon for voice and data. I do not know what other changes were made.
My experience to date has been mostly positive with just a few issues. I'll list those in a message a bit later. For now here is my interpretation of hutchjim's installation instructions:
1. Perform factory reset/wipe. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE AND ALL DATA ON IT. Either the built in reset/wipe of using TWRP. I used TWRP 3
2. Flash ROM
3. Perform another reset/wipe. I used TWRP 3
4. Phone will boot to initial setup. Follow prompts. Hutchjim says not to setup wifi during this phase but I see no way to avoid that. I connected to my home wifi at this point and continued setup.
5. As soon as you can go into Settings go to Cellular Networks > CDMA and select RUIM. No other changes should be made in the Cellular settings. You can also go to Backup & Reset > Reset Network Settings and reset there. Verify that the CDMA > RUIM setting is still selected.
6. Reboot and verify network settings.
7. Continue setup/restore from previous backup from Google. Any apps that need updating for MM will do so during the restore.
Doing the above results in a phone running 6.0.1 which identifies itself as a XT1097. I'll post a screen shot of the ABOUT phone screens later.
To root I used the files from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105
Flash using TWRP
1. root-boot-6.0-xt1095.zip
2. UPDATE-SuperSU-2.65.zip (there might be a newer one out there but this one worked for me. It should update later if needed)

1) It is based on xt1097, specifically on retla which is the retail latin america variant. I am not surprised that the root files for xt1095 work since the xt1097 and xt1095 are extremely similar.
2) He sent me a list of some of the changes, I will dig through the files modified to get more details on what changed.
I was sent a new version by @hutchjim, it is uploading to google drive now. Hopefully in the new version the roaming problem is fixed.

Thanks for the update. I had notice that it did say retla in the system version. Need to pay attention to the baseband info.. Based on that I don't need to upload the About Phone screens then.
Very excited for this. Do gapps need to be flashed as well?

Alright, sorry for the long delay. My internet is messed up right now. I started the upload last night and left it running. I woke up to a failed upload message. I started it again and it took 5 hours to upload... anyway, I have updated the first post with the link to the new version. Please try it out and let us know if you have issues with roaming still.
I have had the roaming issue since I installed the original MM posted a few days ago but even though the R is showing by 4g it still allows me to access data through 4g. Hope I am not going to incur the financial wrath of big red. lol. I was reading this forum using it. Anyway, I want to say thanks for those putting in the work to try and figure this out and support a stock MM rom for the xt1096. I will test the new version as soon as I get it downloaded and report back if the roaming issue persists for me.
I have updated to the latest version of stock MM offered on first post and can confirm that the R roaming symbol is gone. I have rebooted several times and finished setting my phone up how I want it. The only issue I had during the process of installing and setting up this version of MM is that upon rebooting the first 2 times I had a pop up saying "Unfortunately, Verizon Login has stopped."
I rebooted into twrp and installed reinstalled the root and su zips and upon reboot the pop up went away. I guess I was wrong to assume that the order for installing the zips were 1)root boot for 1095, 2)Super SU and 3) MM Rom. After reading that in order it makes more sense to load the Rom then the root and su zips. Oh well, all is well that ends well.
Has anyone figured out how to bypass the wifi setup screen during setup?
Wrong forum.
i just loaded the new version and still getting the roaming. also having the verizon app crash on startup.
To skip WiFi setup, put sim card in on welcome screen so after boot put sim,
also roaming is gone for me but I just get data, no voice on some reboots voice aval even when it says out of service same last build.
Roaming was an issue older build new build fixed, voice still wonky for me

This may be a stupid question, but would this method allow the installation/modification of any system files while keeping official status and remaining unrooted (i.e. something like Viper4Android)? Or does it just enable the manipulation of system files that are already present in the stock rom?
Either way, awesome work! Looking forward to trying this out.
You have made this phone great again. This runs great!

Did everything to a tee, but cant get wifi calling. I can live without, but it is nice.
It activated after a resart.
Jrkruse can you make one for the s7 flat or explain what I need to do
I asked this in another thread but..... is there any way we could get any of the sound mods to work? Or maybe an edited sound file that helps make the audio better? I loved my sound with the mods but hated the way the phone ran with root.
FYI.... SamFirm has VZW Nougat files for Odin now.
Also, what about White Pages Caller ID?

No viper requires an init.d script to run which those simply wont work without root.

Yes this may be a possible
I figured out how to get the boot recovery files. Is the VZW TMO hybrid files s7 edge exclusive or can it be used on both s7 phones
Could you implement the Zero Camera modified bit rates as well in this rom!?! (https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/zero-camera-mod-v1-0-increased-bitrates-t3439870)
you have a donation coming for sure my friend, keep up the awesome work!! What is your paypal link?
Thank you!
I installed this method but substituted the Verizon Nougat CSC file.... Still worked like a charm, except for Samsung Push Service keeps force closing.
Can we root this?
This is amazing. I was getting some annoying lag once I rooted but since my main reason for doing it is ad-blocking, this is perfect!
If we don't want to use VoLTE or WiFi calling can we just omit that step?

Samsung push service gets deleted in the install. Did you updated apps or let apps restore. It shouldn't be there. You can still use package disabled pro to disable apps. Download it and disable Samsung push service if it's still there
You can also download from playstore and reinstall if you want it
Does the OTA have to be taken first or can this be flashed over MM?
