The phone has superuser on it already. I downloaded ROM manager to check the recovery and it has CWM and TWRP. Is it safe to install custom roms or is there other steps that I need to take? The baseband is vraljb.... Android version 4.1.1
Thank you in advance.

Have you booted into recovery at all?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
If you can boot into the custom recovery, you can flash a custom rom.
Great idea I will try that. Thats why you guys are the best.

If its legit, then you got a killer deal. The cheapest GN2 that I've seen was $350 but it had a cracked screen. I see some for $200-250, but I am sure those are scams. The next time you buy a Verizon phone, call *611 and verify the ESN status before handing over money or trading phones. A legit seller will not mind at all.

S4 features leaked for S3... wonder when we will get it?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
It may be as simple as downloading the package, pulling the apks and side loading the apps. Nothing there I really care about though.
A lot of the features will need framework support. This is a leaked "official" Samsung ROM...unless a dev wants to take the time to try to port some of the new stuff, we probably won't see them until the international version gets updated to 4.2.2.
Blah that sucks... how do I know if I have international version

Your signature says you are using the SCH-I605. SPOILER ALERT: you don't have an international phone. But as soon as the update drops for the international version, devs will be working hard to incorporate in their roms.

If you took the time to search there many posts of ppl sending back and getting phones with MDK, also those with new OTA, so like I said, it's a crap shoot and it's 50/50.. Cant hurt to try, though
The chances likely decrease each day for getting the MDK build so the sooner the better.

All roms built off of mdk do this smearing, even AOSP builds. Its very noticeable in the gallery too.
I'm surprised nobody notices it other than me, its the most annoying thing to deal with, makes the gs4 screen look crappy.

Definitely. If "Guaranteed by x date" Means, you'll get it a year after you've moved onto your next phone (My thunderbolt getting ICS), then I would bet that "Strong possibility" means "We're too afraid to tell you we don't give a crap about DNA users anymore."
It's almost as if these HTC execs or whatever are taunting the owners. Lol. First it was 4.3 by the end of Sept. Then it was 4.2 and Sense 5 by the end of Sept. Then it was by the end of the year. Now there saying maybe 4.3, or even 4.4.
This is just rude.
They will probably have it submitted to Verizon by the end of the year and Verizon will test it for 2 more years.

It's not HTC's fault it's Verizon if it were up to them to push updates we would have 4.3 already. It's Verizon who controls it all and they don't do updates so people will go and buy the latest and greatest phone.

Weather we get 4.4 officially or not (doubt we ever will) I'm sure there are developers who are going to be making 4.4 based roms. That's why most of us are on xda to get the best out of our phones. Either way my dna isn't going anywhere for a long time.

That's what scares me lol. It has a 3300mah stock battery and it has pogo pins on the back so you can connect a flip case they sell that has a 1200mah battery built in. So 4500mah is pretty good but it doesn't beat the piece of mind of having a few charged batteries ready to go.
