I'm on Verizon straight talk now no issue at all only thing needed is change the apn second line from VZWINTERNET to TRACFONE.VZWENTP reboot enjoy. I use gtools.apk just for simplicity check box clicks apns reboot you should be able to edit or add apns then if not change csc to spr xas vzw ACG what every works for you I tried all all worked no difference at all in performance.Galaxy tools was not meant for what we're using it for its actually meant to unlock sprint Galaxy phones for international and USA gsm use without going thru sprint but it turns out is useful for CDMA sim unlock as well if you know what your doing

finally got about everything working, mms I am not sure about, but it might be bad service, gonna rid into town and check it, I ended up doing another fresh install used the apn and apns-conf.xml I was using on jasmine rom, and only changed the cdma to 1 and preferred network to 10.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] davekaz:
Galaxy tools would be great . I had it several roms back but can't find it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jimbosi:
SUCCESS! The only thing that didn't work for me was the modded slimAPN.zip. Installation always failed. However, the default app worked, so now I have data, SMS, and so on.

I wonder if this solution (loading APNs) may work with other SM9005 ROMs? I might try that as an experiment after I get this installation stabilized.

On behalf of others, tks for the tip!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jimbosi:
I can confirm Darklord working on VZW, as long as you flash SlimAPN during your ROM flash. I didn't modify the SlimAPN, nor did I modify build.prop.

One issue though, is I have Weather Underground running in the notification bar. The OS kills the service after several minute. I turned off WU in Doze, but the service is still being killed. Not a deal-breaker at the moment.

Also, NPR One won't run thus far. Dunno why.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] armus:
So my mms is broke. The apn settings are correct but it keeps giving me "invalid address". Only things I've found through searches day to correct the apn but it's right so I'm stumped.

My NPR One is working. Xposed is working. Also flashed the Darkera 1.9 Marshmallow hlte vzw kernel without issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jimbosi:
I got NPR One working. Haven't tried Xposed. Where did you get the 1.9 kernel? Couldn't find a version that high.

Notes to all: in examining the default Darklord installation, it seems to install a SPR kernel. It seems to work fine on a 900V, but I'm going to flash a proper VZW kernel. FWIW.

I also flashed a GPS fix zip. It's possible my Weather Underground foreground process is remaining alive. Could it have been a GPS issue? And re: GPS--before the flash, Waze kept losing location over road trip I took today. Hopefully the GPS is really fixed.

New problem.

MMS is only partially working: Sends gifs fine. But received gifs are being converted to static jpgs for some reason (no matter what the file size is).

Tried switching from LTE to CDMA then back to LTE. Tried clearing data/cache on applications that handle mms. Not sure what the problem is.

What is the benifit of this kernel vs the one in Rom?is there a noticeable difference or just another placebo effect?performance or battery life etc?better worse or the same?

sent from my Verizon note 3 running 6.0.1 TouchWiz
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] JRunRun:
I haven't seen any benefit or costs with the new kernel. Seems mostly placebo effect to date.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jimbosi:
To all,

Flashed the 1.9 kernel. Systemui crashes on reboot. Fixed permissions (which I was hesitant to do, because CM13 will bootloop), but things seem fine now.

On another note, has anyone dirty-flashed APEK over APD3.3, and if so, does the SlimAPN need to be reflashed to ensure VZW connectivity? Are there any show-stopping bugs? I'm just wondering if it's worth flashing if I have things working OK now (haven't exhaustively tested 3.3).

Feedback is welcome.

Day 3 running APEK here. Tried a dirty flash over 3.3 but ran into FC issues. Ended up clean flashing and it works great...data/mms/sms.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njdan30:
Cool ,yeah I gave up with the sms issue right now.I didn't really see a significant benifit in Rom difference at the moment to mess with it.8 kids tend to eat allot of "free time"lol I finally got rid of the 4g in favor of LTE icon which I hated (personal insignificant preference).I got a2nd and 3rd note3 I'll mess with,,, eventually

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] armus:
I dirty flashed APEK and got Hotspot to work. MMS it's still broken. Went back to 3.3 and it doesn't work. So basically any form of DL doesn't run MMS for me.

I install 3.3 with sprint,spr setting. Flash modded apns (I've also tried original slim apns) and supersu. Boot to no Internet. Install galaxy tools and change mps code to SPR (apn is greyed until I do). Reboot. Now I can edit apns. Add VZWInternet with all values on page 7. No build.prop edits. Save. Now I have Internet but still no MMS.

I can change the mps to VZW, flash APEK, flash VZW kernel, yell at it - nothing gets MMS to work. Everything else is great. Anyone have an idea?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njdan30:
Quick fix for mms in know most hate third party apps but use inchat sms from play store it'll ask name and and verification code via and then choose Verizon as carrier I'm willing to bet mms will work. Sometimes after its setup the stock app might work again. I carrier flashed and unlocked literally hundreds of phones and that's easiest way to get mms in troublesome phones

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Or for a cm style mms app try 8s.ms and setup manually usually works too

Is sms working for you on latest rom?I got no issues with mms on any only cm13 and dl 3.3 rom fully work for me.right now I'm using verizon message app

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] audit2:
What did you do to get mms to send?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njdan30:
Did you flash apn zip or set manually or replace apn.xml in system/ etc? The last two options work fine I've never tried any apn zip but in other forums seen issues. Go into applications and wipe data in the message app and retry if you haven't already.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] armus:
Obviously there is a setting wrong somewhere. I can send mms on Jasmine Rom but can't on DL. Since I can't send or receive messages, it would appear to be a server setting. The Apn on Jasmine doesn't show a mmsc. I've tried duplicating the apn settings with no improvement. I'm no dev but I'm going to look at the build.prop next. The lack of a setting in Jasmine apn should mean it's set somewhere else.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njdan30:
I don't know about others but I done a few build prop edits and replace apn.xml and don't have no problems at all on 3.3 rom. I can't get apek rom sms at all I see on the original forum there's quite a bit of issues with apek such as after calls and a bunch of other issues samsungvn site. But hope you get it figured Goodluck and for the record I show no mmsc either

The 3rd party apps I mentioned earlier use different settings then system apps thats only reasoni mentioned them to see if you can send then.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TheHanz:
Can you just replace the APN.xml in the zipped rom with original APN.xml and then flash the zipped rom to install?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] audit2:
I flashed the apn zip which did work for the sms but can't send mms.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njdan30:
I just wasted few hours with this and 2 other notes with new version of rom I tried the camera fix and the other fixes on samsungvn forum not 1 of the 3 would send sms wtf the problem is I'd beyond me lol battery life send bad compared to 3.3 and phone crash when your second to hang up and signal was non existent in my house. I did notice the kernel is the international model while 3.3 is spr I left one note on a apek one currently one cm13 and this back on 3.3.I'm a creature of habit I guess I figure the way I flash and modify things are just easier for me after so long (doesn't mean it's best method)but if it works don't fix it lol . mms would send but sms wouldn't which drives me nuts.anyways hopefully you'll figure what works for u best but I know this one so far been ridden hard and put away wet been running pretty damn good as good as stock or better.anyways gotta go get my kids Goodluck

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] armus:
For some reason mms started receiving. I can live with it for now. I've never been to the samsungvn forum - I've been happy on alliance rom for more than a year. That explains the lack of posts on the xda dev section. I do have the crashes on apek but I have to have hotspot for my tablet. So I can't run 3.3. Maybe they will keep working on DL and some issues will get resolved.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njdan30:
You can make Hotspot work is a little involved I'll try explaing what I did or try making a simple way to do later right now my little ones won't let me even finish writing this lol

Or just Google GTv3. 1.5 apk. I only found it necessary to use when I couldn't do anything to my apns. The add was greyed out until I change the mps to spr and rebooted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njdan30:
It's not going to help with mms.the Hotspot fix is hit and miss on 3.3 so I wouldn't waste my time if that's what you need it for I have a mifi in my truck so don't really need. It works one minute then not the next :( .for what have you tried for mms so far?other then apn? Do u have sms working on apek?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] armus:
Sms works on apek for me no problem. I've posted my exact install process a few pages back. Most recently I used Gt to change mps and the other value to match old criteria (blank Mps and vzw for sales I think) at first nothing happened but some how I've now started receiving mms. I tried the two programs you recommended but didn't have any success (the second one may work but I couldn't use it to send myself an mms so no clue). As long as I can receive - knock on wood - I'm good until there are further updates. The crash on hang up I found an easy fix for - toggle wifi. I hope he keeps working on it as this is the most complete rom I've seen in a year or more.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njdan30:
Damn in really surprised inchat didn't work that usually works on every pain in the ass phone I've done (I don't care for it either honestly)is like I thing even if I don't use it if it's on my phone I want it to work. Like an ocd type of thing I guess lol.when I was getting the unknow address issue I wiped the data for the mms app and that fixed it for me. According to the other forum I think he's actively working on improvements (I only know English so it takes a bit to translate)especially with the slow ass Internet I have thru satellite company.maybe restore stock of1 then restore backup of what you have now?I don't know why but it fixed my gps issues when I couldn't get a lock at all.its like dealing with a customer with issues I need to have phone in my hand to see exactly what's wrong and try usual fixes.I'm about to check that forum see if any improvements or updates been made before I head out.

thanks man for the rom but i am having an issue. i have unlocked the phone and installed TWRP and made a backup too but after wiping when i install the rom it stops at AROMA INSTALLER STARTING......xda 2013... and then boots into the samsung logo please help me . What am i missing

By "it stops at Aroma installer," what do you mean? It sounds like your boot process started... Did Aroma complete the installation?

Are you coming from stock, also what version of recovery are you using? Some people have issues with newest recovery try an older version
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
Sorry, been offline for a few days...

I use google voice via Hangouts and MMS works there.... but just tested in stock messaging and I can receive but not send MMS.

Otherwise, APEK works great. In typical YMMV fashion, unlike the previous user I have far greater stability and battery life on APEK vs 3.3 (or CM13!). Battery is so much better that I have kept it as a DD.

Maybe will try to figure out MMS. I have sent maybe 5 MMS messages in the last decade (prefer email, dropbox or almost any other format for pics/vids)...so it is not something I miss. But there should be a simple explanation in the logcat.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njdan30:
I'm still on 3.3 no battery life issues for me at all actually get better life then stock ever did that's for sure lol mms sms data etc fully functioning even the stupid always on that people have issues with I see allot of people experience different issues with different roms just have to be willing to learn to fix stuff yourself and experiment I finally fixed hotspot working like a champ now not that I use it very often since I have Wi-Fi home and in my truck

I ran across numerous times owning a cell phone repair store even the same phone on the same rom even stock will perform different depending on when they were assembled and where. Trial and error and up to date backups is usually key to this stuff
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mightysween:
2+ hours since unplug... 1 hr 20m of "screen on" heavy usage (browsing, FB, chat, video)... certainly the best battery experience I have had on this device.

Good thing, because battery stats other than "Screen" are nonexistent:)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ExiaGN:
Ok, this thread is so conflicting its making my head hurt, it either works or it don't for Verizon Note 3 phones, if not then this should be moved to the correct part of the forum.. with that said.

I have a Verizon N900V ( CM13 runs flawlessly but has muffled my service a bit. ) I use TWRP to flash all my mods. now I have followed this ROMs instructions to the letter ( unless I am totally missing something ) phone boots after 20 minutes, I follow all on screen instructions, but once it runs through all the gibberish, I have either some service, or no service, my phone becomes unresponsive, screen any of the buttons just do nothing, and when it does decide to work, it tells me touchwiz has become unresponsive.. I have to pull the battery to get back into recovery.

SO either I am completely flashing this wrong, or this rom is just broke, or most of the people who have got it to work are totally lucky.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] JRunRun:
I agree. A lot of people have different parts working depending on what sim they're using and what bugs they're willing to put up with. Only bugs I currently have are

1. mms not playing gifs that are sent to me

2. only the default alarm works

3. after hanging up phone calls a pop up phone.android failure pops up then resolves itself

4. If I'm sent a text message when I'm getting no service, it's kinda questionable if all of them are sent once I'm finally back in range.

What version of twrp are you using?

Are you installing APEK or APD3?

What are the steps that you took?

What sim are you using?

What csc and phone model are you choosing in Aroma?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ExiaGN:
I believe its TWRP 3.0.2.0

Not installing anything other then the files for this ROM

I followed the directions given on this thread,

( Installation

- Boot Into TWRP

- Full Wipe (System, Data, Davik Cache, Cache)

- Flash Rom

- Flash SuperSU (Root)

- Reboot and enjoy, boot time up to 20 mins. )

But I don't reboot, I install the 2 fixes, SU then reboot

SIM - Just a normal LTE Verizon SIM as far as I know

Model is SM-N900V - OF1

As stated CM13 gives me no issues, HyperDrive works as well but gives me some minor issues. just this ROM has given me no results
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] JRunRun:
Yeah it's frustrating. CM13 gives me no issues either but it just doesn't have the same functionality. Catch 22.

TWRP 2.8.7.0 seems to work without issues.

1. Backed up stock OF1 apns-conf.xml to computer

2. downloaded - ROM 3.3 http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/darklord-s7-edge-port-6-0-1-mm-t3382954

downloaded - SLIM_APNs.zip http://xdaforums.com/android/software/tool-verizon-mms-apn-patch-t2833914

3. Replaced apns-conf.xml file in SLIM_APNs.zip with the stock apns-conf.xml file saved in step 1, rezipped and saved with new zip name "stock_APNs_modded.zip" Some people are just flashing the slim apn without adjusting it and having succes.

4. placed ROM and APN.zip and Supersu on my external sdcard

5. booted recovery (twrp 2.7.8.0),

6. factory reset

7. Install -- loaded flashable zips from external sd to install

a. ROM 3.3 --> add more zips

b. modded Slim APN zip

c. Supersu --> started the flash

5. Flashed ROM --> chose sprint phone version, chose "SPR" as my csc in Aroma, DID NOT reboot on finish

6. Allowed twrp to finish installing flashable apn and supersu zips

7. wiped cache/dalvik, reboot to system (10-20 min reboot).

8. Did not restore anything on system setup. Entered wi-fi info but turned it off afterwards.

9. change /efs/imei/mps_code to "vzw" via ES File app <-- vzw must be lower case

10. build prop changes:

ro.product.name “cm_hltevzw”
ro.product.device “hltevzw”
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice="1"
ro.telephony.default_network="8"

Added the following lines after the ro.telephony.default_network line:

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311480
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha="Verizon Wireless”
ro.cdma.homesystem=64, 65, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83
gsm.sim.operator.numeric=311480
gsm.operator.numeric=311480
gsm.sim.operator.alpha=Verizon
gsm.operator.alpha=Verizon
ro.net.apnwhitelist=fota,ims,supl,verizon,cbs,mms
ro.net.apnroamingwhitelist=ims
ro.net.apnpolicywhitelist=fota,ims,verizon,verizon 800
ro.net.apnroamingblacklist=fota,verizon800

11. used Galaxy Tools to make sure mps_code and sales_code is set to "vzw"

12. Loaded new kernel -- darkera 1.9 lte vzw (doubt this step is necessary but easy to find with a google search samsungvn)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] njdan30:
Yes problem with this thread is too many how to post not enough searching for fixes and setups.I've been running the 3.3 version on 3 different verizon notes one on Verizon one on a sprint based carrier one on Verizon straight talk all get full lte sms mms exposed and working hotspot etc.I've experimented so many different ways since I own multiple phones I can(I do carrier flashing and unlocking for many years now in my own cell store).anyways good luck following this mess lol
