[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
First, you "need" to be rooted to change the APN settings effectively without issues...

I've never done this personally myself and it's "very rare" to do by changing just the APN settings but, I'll do what I can to help point something out to you.

Not all carriers share the same CDMA/GSM Frequencies as some will cross the frequency paths between one, the other and/or both.

So you'll need to look at the Network Capabilities between the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900V) & the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900T). The following links are just one of a few sources to do this with.

https://www.sammobile.com/devices/galaxy-note-3-verizon/specs/SM-N900V/

https://www.sammobile.com/devices/galaxy-note-3-t-mobile/specs/SM-N900T/

From what I can see, the two networks do share a similar/common network capability up to 3G. The 3G/4G LTE is then very much different since the Verizon uses CDMA and T-Mobile uses GSM.

In conclusion, you may be able to get the Verizon device to work on the T-Mobile network but, the 3G may/may not work and the 4G/4G LTE doesn't look like it'll work at all.

Just keep in mind that Identical Devices, like the the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" itself, doesn't mean identical capabilities (primarily regarding Network Capabilities) like the "Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3" and the "T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3".

This is the best guidance that I can provide you with and I did my best to explain this okay via text... :thumbup:

I do wish you the best of luck! :)

Oh thanks. I only care about LTE so if that doesn't work there is no sense in trying. My Note 3 has all the VZW updates so as I understand it it cannot be rooted by any known method. Thanks for your help. You prevented me from wasting time and money.

Reports I get from tMobile users vary widely but anecdotally everyone I know personally tells me tMobile reception sucks compared to VZW. I will never know because I'm not going to go through the trouble of purchasing a tMobile device only to have a huge hassle returning it and getting sales tax refunded if I find service inadequate.
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
I've got a few Verizon Galaxy S devices and have never used them directly with Verizon but, indirectly as a Service Provider and not as a Network Provider (I think I've got that right LOL!).

I personally use the BYOP program from Net10 as my Network Provider.

Net10 has contracts with all the Major Network Providers like Verizon. So my current G900V Galaxy S5 is activated with Net10 and uses the Verizon Towers for Service (yes... I've got 4G LTE service).

Verizon (directly) has great service coverage but, out of my price range. This is why I went with Net10.

New build!

New version. Reasonably minor changes. I test with 100+ hosts (on a Unix server), and one of the new ones wasn't downloading correctly in the previous version.

No need to uninstall previous version, simply7 flash the new one in TWRP. HOWEVER, if you are using a custom "host_source.txt", make a backup of your file first, as it will be overwritten. The file format will remain the same. It would possibly be prudent to also make backups of your blacklist and whitelist files as well, if you have modified them.:good:

See OP for download:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DiamondJohn:
My personal host sources

This is an FYI, NOT a recommendation.

I have been using the following list of host sources probably since the last release. I have not noticed any ads, even when I forget to do it for a week or more. I have been holding off to see how long it would last, and its now been since 17 Jun 2019 of my last re-fresh/re-build. The following list creates a file of about 2.4MB with 72K lines, and takes < 2 minutes on my phone to build (quad core 2.3GHz 2GB Ram, 2013 S4, ie not a powerhouse by today's standards) I built the list way back based on the smaller file sizes which appeared to have a higher change of hosts; ie they seem to catch the latest/newer bad hosts. By using smaller file sizes, it also takes a short time to rebuild the hosts file.

I do not do any social media, so I also block sites like facebook and twitter in my black lists.

In the attached list, apart from "host_sources.txt", if it does not have "whitelist" in the title, I use it as a blacklist.

NB: The one labeled "stop_youtube_ads.txt" is not really to stop ads in youtube, but its one I found on line that does contain a list of advertising hosts.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DiamondJohn:
A way to run the script using a UI

It just occurred to me. I have another app that:

1. Makes it easy with a UI to execute the script.using a menu

View attachment 4947843

2. Reports on details of your host file, including how old it is

View attachment 4947839

3. Move common features into a quick and handy location

(see the first image)

The app is called TeMeFI:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-temefi-comprehensive-documentation-t3806260

To set up the above, you need to:

1. Tell it where to find the script

This is done using a shell command (or you could manually edit it with a text file editor)

echo "/sdcard/TeMeFI/scripts,/data/local/DiamondJohnHostManager" > /sdcard/TeMeFI/.config/USER_SCRIPT_LOCATION;

Its basically a text file with a comma separated list of paths of where script files are placed.

But more on that later...

2. To view extra details regarding your host file, you can find that under the menu:

Various Ungrouped Extras>Host file check

3. Now, to place the lkast run script under the Favourites menu (which is straight ioff root, so you do not need to hunt and peck down the menbu, which will be more cumbersome for the running of the host building)

After you have run a method, if you click the menu button (hamburber on the far left), that opens the fly out menu, with the last icon on the far right being a pencil. If you LONG press the pencil, it will ask if you wish to save it as a favourite. Click Yes.

It will now appear under Favourites menu, however, it will be poorly named. Got to home (the home image in the fly-out menu) and then go into TeMeFI Configuration>Manage Favourites>Definition Details (Re-name)

Once in there, the method should appear at the top of the list (the only one if you just installed). Now, if you long press and select rename, you can Enter something like "Host File Check"

Next, we will take advantage of we did for number 2 above.

Go into Dynamic Lists>Run User Scripts

For me, I have a lot of scripts and paths that are searched, so my list os long. To filer it down, LONG CLICK the X icon on the far left (yes, the close button, but you long click it). This enables you to filter done the list (if yours is also long). Type in "download_host". This should get you down top a single menu item. Now, click on that, and it will rebuild your host file.

After running the script we will save this off as a favourite also, as above (long press the pencil icon)

Now go back into renaming as explained above, and call it something like "Rebuild host file"

So it could look something like the following. Note that my favourite list is pretty long, so you would only have the two items.

Two more settings but just for visual sake for my preference:

1. Set the toolbar to be at the bottom

TeMeFI Configuration>Default Startup Config>Toolbar at Bottom

2.Go to a dark green CRT screen

TeMeFI Configuration>Default Startup Config>Results Screen Colours>Green CRT Results Screen

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
So I was on AEX Nougat and it was running great but wanted to give Pie a chance.

No matter what ROM and kernel combo I run I had idle drain which annoyed me quite a bit.

I read some more and decided to update my firmware files to the latest 8.11.15 available since I didn't know the version of the files I was running and if they were up to date or not.

When I downloaded the files from miui firmware updater on SourceForge and flashed them I couldn't boot my device afterwards.

I remembered I had a locked bootloader which was unofficially unlocked so I flashed the locked bootloader files from edl again and then it booted.

The drain went away so I thought this could be the reason behind it.

So I made a flashable zip with the latest 8.11.15 modem and other files, plus the bootloader fix combined, I've uploaded it just in case anyone has the same issue and wants to try and fix it.

P.S. You should know how to restore your device if you mess up. I'm not responsible for any damage, use at your own responsibility.

This may or may not work for you, not a guaranteed fix since I'm no developer, just an enthusiast wanting to make his life easier.

Lastly, all the files in the flashable zip belong to their respected developers and not me.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UXNqk2Vo7ngdfnTELGuFP0yD0XNcgT3j

With that being said, happy flashing!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black_Stark:
Lol...u r unofficially unlocked and u relocked bootloader coz u flashed firmware with emmc appboot.mbn .

So u flashed fastboot rom again with edl mode and unlocked it unofficially.

So this solves ur idle drain.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
If you could read better you would have seen that I never mentioned flashing the fastboot rom again.

As you said, Lol.

I flashed the unlock mod through edl and booted what I was running, arrowos for the matter.

The file I uploaded was the 8.11.15 firmware and modem file combined with the unlock files so there would be one working package to flash instead of a non working one and a pc to flash the latest modem and the unlock mod.

So there you have it.

If you want to criticize me for trying to help go ahead, I could have kept that for myself but if we all did that guess who wouldn't have custom roms mods and everything else?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vishal P:
I think what the OP is saying that, flashing the respective modem files fixed the issue for him.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] new_ppc_user:
Hello all,

Having recently upgraded my Hermes to a Kaiser (well actually a AT & T Tilt) and re-flashing it with Schaps 4.30 Rom i have since noticed a sharp decline in performance (compared with my Hermes).

This lead me to look around for something 'better' coming across Duttys cooked ROM and has prompted me to initiate this thread.

Has anyone done a 'review' of the major cooked ROM's out there or even better, put them head to head?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
NOPE. Feel free to be the first.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sherpa:
Be aware that it will be your full-time job as new ROMs come out almost every 2-3 days. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] new_ppc_user:
well lets put it this way. im sure many of you have tried several different roms on your devices.

can anyone shed some light our input into the major rom players?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aberz:
answer this question and you will get it :D

Do you like apple or orange ?

They are both fruit but you cannot head to head compare them.

Beside that newer rom is likely but not necessarily to be better. Try around with different Rom and radio to get your favorite one. Well, It takes about 15 mins to flash so you can pretty much try all the Rom in here in few days. In the end, if you are not happy , do some extensive research so you can brew your own.

Dutty Rom is popular and pretty suitable to start up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] new_ppc_user:
i like both !! so that still doesnt answer my question.

unfortunately, i currently have a pretty hectic schedule so i cant really afford to flash and re-flash my unit all the time. in addition it would take quite a while as i have quite a few additional programs on there.

i am under the impression that Dutty and Schap and the two major players here?

things i need to consider:

- speed of operating system

- ease of use

- stability

- usefull applications
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jzalapski:
Sleuth would also be considered a major player here... ;)

In regards to what you want in a ROM, all signs are pointing to Dutty's except for the useful applications. Just add em yourself though...

His is the fastest ROM I have ever used for any device, including the Hermes...

However, opinions are like assholes.... :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
So let me get this straight. You want someone else to do all the work and let you reap the benefits? I see now.

My God man. They cooked the rom. What more do you want? You want me to flash your phone for you? WOW.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sherpa:
He's got a pretty hectic schedule unlike us. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] new_ppc_user:
oh please give me a break !!!!

the point of this thread is two fold. yes, i want to do as little as possible :)

however, i would like to ENCOURAGE the discussion of the different ROMs that are available so that WE as users can talk about what we like in the different roms we encouter with their good points and bad points.

and please, dont tell me you dont scour the internet looking for reviews ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bapssystupr3m3:
cuz all we do is spoonfeed :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
No, I dont look for reviews of roms. I flash them and if I dont like them I flash a different one. I have literally tried every single rom (that is in English unlike ATW who even tries foriegn languages) to try and find the one that works best for me. I suggest you do the same and quit asking for someone to do the work for you. The reason I say this is that I can't tell you how many times this same question has been asked. You are definitely not the first nor will you be the last. It seems as though it comes up at least once a week. So, read the first post of the rom, if you dont like what you read or see then move on to the next. Either that or do as most of us do and flash it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] brianwendt:
We don't need to scour the internet looking for reviews. We just read the threads in the forum and test ourselves. All the information you will ever need is found in these forums.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] juanschwartz:
Yup... with this guy... it's very easy to use PIM backup and your storage card to backup your vitals before flashing. Sure it's tedious, but that's how this all works. People will review different ROMS on different criteria and it's up to you to find what makes you happy.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aberz:
Smart man , you want to pay the least to get the most :D .

1st fold

You want to do as little as possible, so we have to do more to cover your work ? > Fail :P

2nd fold

There is no "we" and "as users" , should be " I " " as a lazy leecher" :P

And there is also no point in promoting ROMs discussion. We can talk all day without coming up with any thing good but potential conflict.

> fail, again

I dont know about your schedule but my is also packed too ( ask a pre-med, senior Bio student) . And most of peeps here also get a thing call "life" . If I can do it , you can too. Flashing a Rom is not rocket science that would take a life time to do.

How about this, consider flashing your piece of device a relaxing activity for your break . I would be less pain and more joy. If you dont find flashing , trying and using Rom fun , why bother asking here.

p/s for the amount of time finish 2 posts , you could have already flashed a cool Rom lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Confused Stu:
I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I'm afraid the only way to work out the best ROM for you is to test them all. If a ROM is unstable, you'll be able to tell pretty quickly from scanning the thread and what is one man's "useful applications" is another man's "bloatware".

The best analogy I've seen is with cars - to some people the perfect car is a sports car, to others it's a people-carrier, everyone's needs and uses are different. Also, as most of the ROMs are built on the same two or three OS builds, you're comparing the cars with virtually identical engines, so differences will be minor*.

My suggestion is make a list of what you use on your phone, then decide if you want a fast ROM (in which case flash a lite ROM and add the bits you want via cabs) or an easy ROM (in which case flash a ROM that's got the most of the things on your list).

You will never get everyone to agree on the "best" ROM simply because there isn't one that is head and shoulders above the others*, just optimised by and for different chefs.

*No offence intended to the great chefs on this forum! I know how much work you must put into your ROMs and I'm not trying to belittle that, just get the point across. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] knytphal:
Also, it doesn't hurt to take the little bit of time that is required to make an SDConfig.txt file for the User Customization that most of the ROMs utilize now. That in and of itself is a huge timesaver. Take advantage of that, and someone else also posted PIM Backup, which can also help aid in moving from one ROM to another.

Use one ROM for a week, see how you like it then move on if you want to. That's more or less what I've done. And I've found what I've liked.

Was it Karhu who would do benchmarks of all the ROM's in the Hermes forum? Talk about intensive... but again, strictly numbers, meant as an informative comparison of different things.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Algus Helm:
I think I got your thoughts...

I wanna a ROM table for comparisons... I can say its very difficult to make

1) ROMs change every day... its a rough job to keep it update

2) ROMs are like taste. You like a XYZ ROM because its faster but a friend may like a BCD ROM because it runs that app faster.

3) There ia a lot of apps within those ROMs that make they different. Comparing works if all ROMs carried the same stuff.

4) There are no tops ROM... there are populars ROM

I'm looking to flash my kaiser too but I allways got confused too with different cooked ROMs.

I suggest you to read all of your interest, ask them for any detailed spec. Install the HardSPL for Godsake and try it.
