SPRINT ROM UPDATE: 16 May 2017
Original ROM DATE: 29 Mar 2017
Darklord is back!
The masterpeice, this outstanding S7E MM port is being reborn with the power of NXTeam. This rom was ported from [bold][ROM][NXTeam][6.0.1][S7E Port][29.Mar.2017] DarkLord Reborn[/bold]. It has been updated to support SPRINT data and works upon boot. No need to flash MVNO buzbee, replace apns, or replace eri.xml. Upon initial boot, you need to enable mobile data toggle to use data.
The stock MMS/SMS app works. There is no need to use a third party app like textra to send mms.
I have tested this with LSS3.8 and DarkLord UX kernel. LSS 3.8 is included with rom.

Thank you so much

Thank you for keeping this phone live with this amazing updated ROM

---

Any of the mods that require a replacement of the framework-res.apk will break the Carrier information. Basically the updated framework-res.apk doesn't contain the correct ERI.XML to show "SPRINT"
as such, if you use a mod that breaks it.. just flash one of the MVNOBuzbee found @ https://mega.nz/#!oEAjXLhI!bI1-MVMDO...CTz-yfKLeCpqA8
I may look at repacking those apk's with the correct information if anyone is interested.

If you are on sprint, you shouldn't need to edit the APN settings. What CSC Did you select?

Thanks @mid3vil. I am using it on Tello, a MVNO of Sprint. So I need to edit APN setting for mms and LTE.

Does this pass Safetynet if you hide root with magisk? Can you disable this xposed framework (in the app itself) to pass safetynet or do you have to uninstall? If you have to uninstall, does it come with the uninstall file and will it break this mod?

Never tried any of the proposed ideas. Best solution would be to try it for yourself and see what the outcome is.

Does this come with the uninstall file for xposed? Will it break the rom? If it doesn't come with the rom, can you link me to the xposed version you used?

Great rom. Just what I needed for a daily driver. Everything works. Thank you for your hard work.

You need to select XAS under the CSC selection during install if you want to edit the APNs. Selecting SPR does not allow for editing of APNs.

Unless this ROM installs differently than the unmodified v4, you should have the option to not install exposed or uninstall exposed with an update reinstall... these options are in the Aroma installer.

Hey Mid3vil...
Thanks for exposing this ROM to the N3 Sprint section. I just found this thread but have been using this ROM since the beginning of March when V1 was released. This is by far the best MM ROM for the Sprint Note 3, and with the N7 SystemUI it provides a near Note 7 experience.
I assisted sczar with some information and feedback in making V2 work with Sprint, the final changes went into V4. The APNs should have been fine and did not need to be altered to get V4 to work. There are still some minor irritations that maybe can be addressed, but some of them may be just my phone acting up.
You already addressed one of them by tweaking the the framework-res.apk to update the eri.xml to show Sprint. I have been manually applying the fix after install by copying the eri.xml file to /data.
Another is the gps.conf file is wrong for Sprint (at least me and some others) and does not allow the gps to locate properly. I thought it was just me and ended up extracting the gps.conf file from the stock PL1 ROM, but then ended up making it into a flashable zip when someone else had the same issue and was looking for a fix.
Lately I have been getting an issue with the wifi disconnecting when screen is off and then trying to connect when screen is turned on... sometime is cannot reconnect and I have to turn off the phone and reboot it in order to get wifi to connect (just rebooting does not seem to work??). I have researched this issue on the internet and have tried every solution I could find... nothing seems to permanently fix it. Went back to stock for a few days and it would also disconnect when screen is off but would always reconnect again. Since this is a new issue I picked up in mid April, it might be a hardware glitch since my phone is now just over 4 years old.
Have been using the latest Phantom kernel with this ROM and it is fantastic... great battery life and performance.
Again, thanks for sharing this ROM with the Sprint community!

Thank you for the response. Sadly I couldn't get the V4 APN's to work correctly for me, so just replaced them. If I remember correctly, I made a few modifications to the build.prop (but i was messing around with a couple of roms at the time, so I cant guarantee that). As for a GPS lock, I have not had this issue, it has been working like a champ for me with the config from the V4.
I didn't modify the installer. I started to debloat the extra CSC's and options that dont pertain to Sprint, but wanted to keep as close to the initial release as possible.
I'm currently using Darklord Kernel (3.4.0-DarkLord-Kernel-Marshmallow-hlte-spr-V1.9)

This is really a nice ROM but I noticed one of the features that I love about my Sprint Note 3 stop working at some point. It's the ability to talk on the phone and surf the internet at the same time without Wi-Fi needed, total data usage. So I switch back to my previous ROM and noticed I was not receiving phone calls and lost the ability to call out yet data was still working. So I switch back to the stock ROM and did the PRL and profile update and still no ability to make or receive phone calls. So I called Sprint and they gave me a special telephone number of tech support to call. They notice my phone somehow
switched Networks They even asked me if I done something recently like trying to reset my phone or switching Networks providers. The tech support person said to give him a minute and said the phase " they will put my phone back in line" so It will work properly. They asked me to turn off my phone and wait 2 minutes and turn it back on and my calling service was restored. I'm not sure how that happened other than when I tried to use the voicemail by pressing one I heard a Verizon recording but then went into settings and put my own number in it for voicemail. So I'm back on the stock for now but I really miss the nice features. Keep up the good work.
I was not having any issues with GPS lock issues. I saw a post 2 years ago about taking the back cover off of the Note 3 and removing the black cover and you will see a tab for the GPS that may have popped off if the phone was dropped. I secured it with a piece of tape and GPS has been spot-on ever since going on 2 years now. I hope this help with other Note 3 users

Does Samsung Pay work? Mine doesn't and I am not sure what the problem is. It hangs on the 'Samsung Rewards' windows.

---

I have read where Samsung Pay does not work with a rooted phone... but there may be some workarounds using Magisk systemless interface and the AutoMagisk app to toggle off root... I have not tried this though as I do not use Samsung Pay.

Thanks for the idea of using DL kernel... I haven't used it for some time since experimenting with tweakable kernels (LSS, shinto, phantom)... have been using the DL 2.0 kernel for over a week and have not had any wifi issues... went back to try the new LSS and phantom releases and wifi issues returned with both... interesting that DL kernel does not have this issue but the other kernels do... also interesting that I did not have any wifi issues with the other kernels for over 6 months, then began having issues during the beginning of May... I still suspect a hardware issue, but the DL kernel seems to be more forgiving than the others.
Is there any reason you are using v1.9 instead of v2.0?

Yes there is a very good reason I don't use 2.0. I've been too lazy to grab a copy and test it out
