What is it and why UVLG3 base?
If you aren't on T-Mobile, just stop reading and hit your back button.
I recently switched from AT&T to T-mobile, and in doing so, had to play the "Which modem works" game. During that time, I realized there's a nice sized community of users on this forum that use tmo for their carrier. Since all our AT&T bases don't support Wifi Calling, and that's one of the neato features of T-Mobile, and since there doesn't appear to be any active Tmo ROMs these days, I figured I would update the UVLG3 base with a lot of the features and toys in my Jellybean Sandwich ROM. No WP7 task switcher, though. You people hate that.

It's like my jellybean sandwich ROM with WiFi calling. If you aren't on tmo and/or don't care about WiFi calling, then probably not much point in spending the time flashing it tbh.
Neat. I'm going to flash this. Because WiFi Calling.
Just two questions, which I'll find out in a few minutes regardless...
ICS or JB based? Also, TouchWiz based, or AOSP?

I think you guys may have misunderstood each other. Warfenix, you have an AT&T phone, but are you on AT&T's network? if so flash an AT&T modem not a tmobile modem. See if that helps your data troubles. Of course though,I may be wrong and you understood each other perfectly fine

Considering the similarities between the domestic variants of the Note 2 and their international counterparts, would anyone be willing to test some of the success that the folks over in the AT&T forum have had with porting the international N7100/N7105 firmware/ROM's over to the Verizon Note 2
Check out these two threads over in the AT&T forum and see what you all think:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411
The basic gist of the procedure is to use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash a stock N7100/N7105 firmware, and then flash your carrier specific modem/kernel.
Why would anyone want to do this? Well, for starters, you would benefit from built-in stock-supported tethering, and a few other features that carriers disable (YMMV). But mainly this means that the domestic versions of the Note 2 can benefit from the development of the international versions! So, when the latest version of Android comes out for the rest of the world, we aren't stuck here waiting for our carrier to catch up to everyone else...
So what do you all think? Anyone willing to try?
ba-ba-ba-BUMP.
What about integrating carrier specific apps? The Verizon version has a data usage app that works without logging into my Verizon.
I do believe that is what scrosler was doing here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055218 and he said this in the features " Verizon Patch files in a flashable zip can be found http://www.cleanroms.com/downloads/Note2/VZW Patch for 7105 Base.zip This will let the ROM think you are a VZW ROM! Good for the Play Store and APN settings! " But.... He did say he was unsure if it works on other roms in his second post. You possibly could try it. : )
Thanks. . But I'm already using his VZW rom

You risk a soft brick. Just make a nandroid backup first and you'll be fine.

Just make sure you don't flash modems and keep a stock kernel on hand
Yeah since the hardware is nearly identical I think the most you would risk is a soft brick. The 7100 lacks LTE though so I'm not sureif you would have data on one of those roms. Tell us how it goes if you go through with it.

What errors occurred/what happened?

I'm looking for a stable TW rom alternative to beans/cleanrom. I know some people have been using the verizon patch to make international roms work on verizon phones. I don't want to re-invent the wheel, so if you've applied the patch successfully to another rom and it works, which one and does it work 100%?
None at the moment. I might at some point down the road
So does this mean a custom ROM like Android Revolution HD 8.0 for N7100 will not work without adding a verizon patch to our verizon note 2?
The patch only applies to TW roms for the N7105 and American carriers. Roms for the n7100 require additional modification in order to run on LTE devices.
Can someone please post a link to the patch thread? Thank you.

I thought the original unbranded HTC One is the same as the HTC One we have. Because people are flashing ARHD and other roms without a issue so
if you make a call there is no sound when your in a call, pretty much its not worth it atm.
So far, it has been reported that there is no sound in the earpiece during phone calls. I might be able to fix it, I might not, but I need logs to get started. Actually, I probably need the phone to get it fixed.

I think some of them LTE doesn't work. But as I said in my other post I'm running the Renovate ROM from the international forum. The rom and kernel and everything works fine 100%. (I'm running his 1.0 version not his nightlies) I even got the dropbox space
The Partition tables are the same. HTC kept that uniform this time around at least with the GSM variants.

Yeah, I most likely will. I have to update my gs3 Rom and then I'm going to start to work on the One. Theme the stock Rom to look as much like AOSP as I can(just like my blackjelly rom) It's been a while since I've owned a HTC device so I have to get reacclimated with how HTC does things. I can say AOKP is already in the works. One of the other guys on the team already started I believe.

Dirty flashing the Renovate ROM worked without any side effect? Do you still have LTE and no issues like you claim? Also, is that ROM any faster/smoother/noticably better than stock? So far the two most compelling reasons I see are the quick toggles, transparent notification shade, and that 25gb of Dropbox storage
Does anyone know if it's possible to rip this out of the stock firmware, so that it can be used with custom ROMs?
I want to use a custom ROM, but I can't because I need WiFi calling at home (crappy reception).
