You can get 4g working, but you'll lose mms. Or you can have mms, but lose 4g. Be patient. Roms are coming.

Prepare yourself, roms are coming

After much testing I have found it is possible to have 4g LTE and MMS. The only thing is you need the correct apn settings and mms will not work with 4g on or connected. If you go to the testing menu you can see your current connection. If it is LTE or erhpd it will not send or receive but over evdo it will. So you need to toggle 4g on and of for it to work. I could upload the apn if anyone needs it.
EDIT: I am running moar rom

Could you please upload the apn? I installed M.O.A.R. rom but i have no 4g.
This rom is soooooooo awesome. If I can get 4g working I think I'll stick with this rom for a while.
Thanks!

Anyone running a sprint TW ROM that doesnt mind testing out what I think will fix LTE please post your Sprint TW ROM. (link to the xda page on it even better)

I will have you flash a update that will replace your kernel, possible apns-conf.xml file, and build.prop to enable LTE again. Based on Building my ROM with a Sprint kernel I have a theory.

You would have to make a nandroid backup, flash my update and test. If no work - restore your nandroid.
