nothing for vzw ???

No VS980 Firmware for Verizon or does the LS980 work for both?

yeah seems there's no vzw.But there'll be one soon surely @houstonn just started these builds but the are stable.

Can you make a video where you show how android 4.4 works on g2? Nobody has made one yet.. So would be great if you was the first:good:And one Question, how is the gaming performance on this rom compared to the stock 4.2.2 lg rom?

Going through this process now (first custom ROM flash) - and I wonder... does this update the kernel as well? I'm assuming yes, and wondering about the KnockOn functionality.

i was about to ask about knock on...i suppose it won't work

how can i install google apps now?

[Q] What roms for other models are you using with the verizon patch?

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.

Nvm. I got it now. I guess after flashing the verizon patch, I don't need to change the buildprop back like the instructions in that thread stated. I reflashed the rom and when in the buildprop. And did see that the buildprop did change to verizon one instead of nexus buildprop. Its running good now. Thanks
Yep. Glad it worked out for you.

Or you could always try out one of the AOSP Kitkat ROMs, available in the original development section. They're pretty darn stable, and can certainly be used as DDs.

If you read this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601067, the 4.4.2 leak is for the international S4 ONLY, not any of the North American variants yet.

Sounds quite reasonable.
Following Samsung OTA's for a long time across 3 phones and almost 6 years.. seems they connect some of the major OTAs to release of new product. Since the S5 is getting close could it be tied to that event? Betting Verizon's S5 won't be first on the release list for US carriers either.
OTA of 4.4 for the S4 prior to the S5 release just doesn't sound like a starter. It would be a nice surprise though....

[Q] Galaxy Mega 6.3 (Sprint) Compatible Roms??

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me any compatible roms, that work the Sprint Galaxy Mega 6.3? Everyone rom I try looks to be for a GSM device. I can't figure out any way to get my Sprint service on the device after flashing one I mess with the setting in each one, to search for Service Provided etc and have no luck.
Could anyone tell me which ones you have been successful with, and what you did to get CDMA services working on it?

Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
From the looks of this, you just followed instructions from this thread here now, even though this appears to have worked, I would not suggest going through with actually flashing anything or making backups.
The reason is partitions are different across some of the G3 devices and it would not be a smart idea to risk flashing something to a wrong partition, especially since there are 16 and 32 gb models.
With that, it looks like there is a bypass on the VZW model which is a good sign for future use.

Yes we can. This is no different than flashing a custom ROM using safestrap on a Samsung product. I don't think you guys realize how big this is. While its not a boot loader unlock, we will be able to flash custom Roms based on factory ROM.
Hoping we get Aosp soon.

Att Galaxy Alpha g850a came with a locked bootloader. Locked bootloader, no root. No root, no device development.
If you get another variant of the device, there are a few custom roms based on stock touchwiz.

Sent from my Optimus G using XDA Free mobile app
Imho I think it's not that bad, we got the best roms available for the 850f. (I didn't like miui), I tried most famous ones and ended up with resurrectionRemix on my previous phone. Which I loved (once I found my way in all the little settings )
We got different kernels too and the 850F is rootable, all together this is enough "choice" for me.
If you want the most choice in roms and kernels go for the S-series.
