This method is done by flashing a .tot file: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2832488

In the Verizon G3 General forum, look for a post with KDZ in the title, started by annoyingduck, that is an alternate method. The KDZ method is supposed to be a bit simpler to do (I haven't used either). Note that the two methods do NOT use the same flash tool -- use whatever one is listed in the particular post.

Q&A is the right forum area for questions.

So im looking for a brave soul who is willing to test out my custom version of CM.

[ROM INFO]

Compiled with SABERMOD GCC 4.8 toolchain (both kernel and ROM).

Has SuperSu (non-pro) built in to rom.

Built using ArchiDroid Optimizations V3 custom flags.

PM me if your willing to test out (possible) awesomeness.

UPDATE:

PM's Not working if you are willing to test you can find the latest Build Here. All i request is that you please use the stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Hi, I am willing to try your custom build. But do you have some cherry picks features like active display or is it pure CM ?

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

Oups meant to send a pm. Sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
As of now its pure CM as i want it to be able to boot and be (mostly) stable before i start modifying it. Also ArchiDroid's optimizations (in theory) should make the overall ROM faster and smoother. Like i said though i will be adding more features as time goes on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] poppers162:
I've pm-ed you. I'm willing to test.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
OP Updated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jas88:
I may have ovelooked it but is there a particular gapps we should use for testing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
I personally use the latest pa-gapps, however as long as they are 4.4.4 compatible it shouldn't make a difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
Unfortunately I no longer have root after installing the ROM. Ideas? Binaries?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
did SuperSu show up in the app drawer?

if not it might be a problem with how i put in SuperSu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
It has the app but...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jas88:
I had superuser on my SD card so I was able to gain root access once I installed it. My apps are still downloading but the ROM seems to be smooth and quick so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
So it seems when i added the supersu.apk, i forgot to add the binary to the build (insert facepalm emoji here). Building update now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] poppers162:
I was wondering where my root went...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jas88:
Still running well for me. I had about 7 percent battery drain overnight(6.5 hrs) no random reboots, freezes etc. Still on stock kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
Anybody had luck with ART? Didn't seem to work for me but the ROM seems good enough without it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
I had to flash superSU to gain root. Extremely smooth rom, the fastest I have tried in a very long time. Unfortunately there is no exfat support built into the rom, my ext SD card isn't recognized...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
I'm not sure what you mean. I have access through root explorer to sdcard1 and it also shows in the ROMs settings under storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jas88:
My SD card is recognized using root browser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Is your SD card formatted with exfat? I have issues with certain roms not compatible with exfat, other roms do have exfat support and all is well. It has to be baked in the rom.

If you have a fat32 or ntfs SD card, then it's different...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
Sorry for the wait, but NEW BUILD! you can find it here. Hopefully this fixed exfat support and root issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Unfortunately both issues are still existing in this new build. And since I dirty flashed, I have the acore process FCing like crazy (not your fault).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
Yea. Definitely no root yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
After reading around a bit, i finally found the right way to integrate SuperSu into the ROM. As for exfat support, i'm still actively trying to find the needed modifications.

Right now though, id like to take the time to thank all the people that have helped test out my ROM. I am by no means an expert at ROM development, in fact i'm very much still learning. So thanks for all feedback you guys have given me, and for sticking with me through this journey.

UPDATE:

So computer apparently crashed while building, will repo sync and build tonight when CM finishes adding commits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Hey man your builds are smoooooth! Supersu is no big deal for me as I can flash it in recovery in less than a second. Exfat is my main issue...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mtsprite:
After running into possibly every build error in existence (and my computer crashing), NEW BUILD! Find it here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
1. SuperSu is now working but has a duplicate tab in the roms settings menu.

2. "Unfortunately settings has stopped" is popping up a lot. I noticed it right after an app is installed on the market and when I used root explorer to move an APK from my sdcard to /system/app.

Here is a log of when I installed "twrp manager" from the market and settings failed.

can i flash this via safe strap on 4.4.2 or will it crash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Crash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
SD card still broke on latest?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
It's not broken, it just doesn't read exfat formatted SD card. I just formatted my card to fat32 to enjoy the smoothness again. Brilliant rom, hands down the smoothest for our aging device. Now add Active Display to the rom and you'll get the best rom period. (and maybe include deathly kernel built with your magic sauce for even more awesomeness!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
More than likely not actually the rom. Exfat support is kernel dependent. Must be enabled in the kernel. :cool:

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

No AOSP base will run on safestrap. Good try tho. TW rom and stock kernels only forever. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Nope, this time it is rom-dependant. It must be properly wired in the rom to be working as well. Decimalman explained it to me once. Using exfat compatible kernel doesn't solve the issue. Validus has the same problem for example...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
Correct. Right now it starts with system/bin/mount.exfat. This currently causes the issue seeing an exfat formatted card. Another issue is still beyond this but some changes to "mount.exfat" will allow you to use an exfat card. It just won't show the cards size.

Overall this is an excellent rom with some minor flaws. Very usable as a DD.

My phone isn't being detected by adb. Almost as if USB Debugging isn't even enabled (which it is). ADB is just blank when I run adb devices.

I've installed the LG VZW G3 drivers. Any suggestions?
[Verizon LG G3] mjforte:
Make sure you change the USB mode to internet and then Ethernet. Took me a while to figure that out.
[Verizon LG G3] geoff5093:
Make sure you have developer options visible

Enable USB debugging

Connect your phone to your computer

Pull down and change the USB connection from installer/MTP to internet > ethernet

Open Command Prompt window where ADB is installed, and type in "adb devices"

Allow when you see the RSA prompt

Run the batch file for ioroot, type "adb reboot recovery", install from adb, run sideload command, and then reboot
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:

usb drivers

Use the LG USB drivers for Verizon Wireless!

Change the usb connection mode to Internet/Ethernet
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
My adb was the problem on mine. I had to reinstall java jdk and the sdk and worked perfectly the first time I tried after that
[Verizon LG G3] AndreasEK:
Either I'm completly blind or ... my G3 doesn't have that option. I only got "Charge Phone", "Media Device (MTP)", and "Send images (PTP)" to configure the USB PC CONNECTION. I also have the option to switch on USB tethering, but that doesn't change anything for the better, either.

Where's that Internet/Ethernet connection mode hidden?
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
The internet option might not appear until the usb is connected to the pc. Recheck available options while connected.

-Set phone for PTP connection

-Plug phone into PC via USB. You should see a driver loading/loaded message on your PC

-On the phone, change USB connection to Internet, then select Ethernet on the submenu that will appear

(PTP seems to "wake up" the ADB driver on the PC side for me. This was mandatory on a couple of prior phones/tablets, so it's what I did with the G3.)
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Or switch to Linux and never hear about drivers ever again!
[Verizon LG G3] birkination:
Verizon on Windows 8.1

So, the problem I had on windows 8.1 was that when you connect the device and it asks you what action to take automatically, you need to click that and install the Verizon stuff. I had my phone in USB debugging and Ethernet mode while doing this install. After it installed everything, the window on my phone for debugging permission showed up, and I allowed it. The phone now shows up in adb. I don't know if this was obvious but I thought Id mention it anyway
[Verizon LG G3] Averix:
After the last G3 update from Verizon, the Ethernet option is gone. I can't get it to talk with ADB any longer. I see the developer mode come up on the phone, but it never asks for security key or appears in the ADB list. Anybody have any good ideas? This is on a Mac and I've never had a problem before doing this.

EDIT: After juggling back and forth from PTP to MTP to PTP, restarting ADB, I got it to connect. No clue what the key was, but working again for the moment. The Ethernet option is still gone from the phone though so that simple fix is no longer an issue.
[Verizon LG G3] Crazy Eddie:
I installed the skydragon rom, which is based on stock so probably the same. I found that PTP worked but MTP did not. This is in Ubuntu Linux.
[General Questions and Answers] calebcabob:
I have what I think may be a complicated question which I can't seem to find the answer to regarding T-Mobile's promo with paying your previous carrier's Early Termination Fee. I'm thinking of switching from Verizon to T-Mobile and currently have a Galaxy S4. I understand in order to qualify for the promotional phone prices you need to trade-in your old device.

Here's the Question of the day...:)

Before switching over to T-Mobile, can I just swap/activate my (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy S4 with my old (Verizon) Samsung Stratosphere, so THAT'S the phone they take from me? Because I would love to keep my Galaxy S4 to sell or even for just play!

So, in other words...

Does the phone you trade in to T-Mobile NEED to be the exact same model that you had when starting/renewing your most recent 2 year contract with Verizon you think?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
I recently made the switch from Verizon to T-Mobile (best decision I've made in my life). I didn't do the ETF promotion, since I made the switch the day after my contract was over and was bringing my own device. I don't remember exactly what was involved, but I remember that they needed access to my Verizon account info (not just my phone number). I remember having to go to VZW's website on my phone, looking for a previous bill that had my full account number on it, so they could put it in their computer and port everything over to their service.

Seeing as how the Stratosphere is 4 years old, and they'll have at least some access to your account information, I really doubt that they'll take your old phone instead of your S4. I can't say for certain, obviously, but I really, really doubt it. I would venture to guess that when you grant them at least some access to your account, they can also see what phone you're on contract with. While the way to "sway/activate" your device is simply swap which phone your SIM card is in, I think they'll still know that you're on contract for the S4, and not the 4 year old Stratosphere.

FWIW, paying the ETF fees for Verizon might be better than simply turning over your S4, but that depends on how much you have left on your contract. If it costs, say, $250 to break your contract, and your phone is in good condition, it might be prudent to pay the ETF and sell the phone after making the switch. But I don't think you'll be able to pull one over on T-Mobile and give them your dinosaur phone. Either you'll have to finish your contract or pay the ETF to keep your phone, or you'll have to turn in in to T-Mobile to have them pay the ETF.

I happily stuck it to "Big Red" when I switched. I needed a warranty replacement on my Droid Razr Maxx (the battery was about to explode). So I went to the store, but the entire country was out, so they had to send me a Razr Maxx HD instead. The day I received the replacement was the day my contract was up, so I switched to T-Mobile, sent back my Razr Maxx, and sold the Maxx HD on eBay for $275. Speeds and coverage in Tucson with T-Mo is better than Verizon, it's cheaper, and I have UNLIMITED EVERYTYING. Best decision of my life.
[Sony Xperia M2] :
please help me

is xperia M2 really okay ?

im planned to buy it

but xperia SP make me confused rather to pick M2 or SP

advice please ...
[Sony Xperia M2] molnartibor:
M2 is better only because of the expected updated for kitkat (and maybe beyond) battery life (due to the qHD screen) and better screen colors. otherwise SP has a faster CPU and GPU, higher resolution display and imho a better design. if sony would be still updating SP there would be no reason to consider the M2
[Sony Xperia M2] peter-k:
The screen on the SP is clearly better. It has higher resolution, but if you are going to stick a matt screen protector on it, then it doesn't matter. The M2 screen has a cool/greenish tint which I personally find not acceptable. But - it is abt the same as many Samsung phones and that also hardly disturbs anyone.

SP's battery live is abt half of what the M2 can.

A year ago SP was a medium range phone, now M2 is low end. In actual fact they do abt the same. M2 is build to somewhat lower grade but still well build compared to Samsung casing.

For me a phone is not better bcs of an expected version update. For me a phone would be better, if I can get it rooted easily and if there is a recovery available, and interest by developers. That's the problem zone with the M2.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajua:
Hi guys, my cousin just returned to Mexico from a trip to the US and she bought an HTC One M8 on BestBuy. The thing is that she bought it from a partner inside the store and the model is HTC Asia WWE. She wasn't able to connect to LTE there and neither here on Mexico now that she's back.

Here are the LTE frequencies I looked up:

LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 - AT&T

LTE 700 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - Asia - the phone she bought

The phone CID and MID are:

CID HTC__044

MID htc_asia_wwe

She can only connect to H and 3G (no H+ or LTE) with Telcel and was wondering if I can convert her phone to the US or EU unlocked model so she can have LTE speeds. It's weird that a partner inside BestBuy was selling unlocked asian models instead of the US ones and she has no other option now.

I can't find any info regarding the cellular hardware to see if a conversion is possible.

I have plenty of experience on my One M7 with WWE conversions. I once converted my US unlocked model the EU one in order to get Sense 5.5 first and to play around and get experience with the One's specifics flash methods, etc. but I don't know about other region's WWE models and the different frequencies they support. Are they hardware dependent or just by firmware/ROM?

She will be more than happy if I can convert her phone to a US or EU model and have LTE connectivity.

Any help with this question would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
It's AT&T that use odd frequencies, not Asia. The different frequencies are a hardware thing, and I think there may also be a protocol difference (AWS?). It can't be changed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Frequency support is set in hardware and can't be "converted" with software. In particular, according to the following Wiki page, Telcel uses Band 4 (1700 MHz) for LTE, so you need to use a phone which supports this LTE band (which the Asian variant does not).

One has to be very careful (and do a lot of research) whenever buying a phone from a source outside your local carrier,region, etc. for this very reason.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] www.capture:
Have a similar compatibility question ... Product specs for the phone I bought in India say that it supports the following 4G LTE frequencies. 700/900/1800/2100/2600. I am trying to use that in the U.S on AT&T which (according to the Wiki page) uses 700, 1700 and 1900. So, techincally shouldnt the phone work on the 700 MHz frequency. I dont think it is that straight forward since the is a "band" variable that I am assuming plays. Appreciate any clarification...
