Root [STATUS UPDATE 6/6/15, See OP] BUTTERNOOB Stock 4.4.4 v2

hello i want to report that the butternoob rom flashed perfectly on the metropcs zte zmax. wifi workes because when i made a call to test calling the wifi calling symbol showed up. on system setting it says 4.4.2 and instead of metropcs on the lock screen it says tmobile. unfortunately the metro pcs apps were installed when i turned it on. i dont know if it was my phone or it felt laggy? but overall it works on the metropcs zte zmax
 
mondillinger since i was able to flash the butternoob rom, would it be possible to flash the metropcs 4.4.4 rom to a tmobile version. i have a backup of my stock rom. if you need it i can do a backup with a factory reset done by twrp. it has the band 12 update i think

You are a lifesaver pal, much appreciated :) and that's just a string value, it's coded into it lol, I change it to say something like "noob" unless you don't care lol. And if that was the case, then please be sure that you wiped the way I instructed in the OP, because TWRP doesn't necessarily wipe it correctly the normal way. Much appreciated!

I don't know but I would love to try :) get it to me and I can make the changes to get it up and running!
 
I hope so!! I would love to have that set up. They are essentially the same phones and being able to flash this rom proves that!
Yes! Maybe a hybrid ROM with both firmwares. So we can have a unified ROM between both devices with neither of us loosing any features. So we'll have Metro doesn't lose their Band 12 or VoLTE. While anyone on T-Mobile, Univision mobile, and Walmart family mobile gets those benefits. They get a stock ROM. We get some goodies out of it. Ah......one can only dream.....
 
I'm sorry I missed your question, but the probably will. I really want to make a 4.4.4 port, I'm just using a T-Mo, so we don't have 4.4.4 yet, but if someone could get me a backup of it I'd love to make that happen.
I posted a system&boot backup of the metro version in post#2 on hroark13's twrp thread.
Edit: Is the boot.img in this ROM the stock one for T-Mobile?

can you add boot to recovery to the power menu?
and maybe a proximity wake so the power button is only needed when you have to panic?....lol
uhhhhh.....other than that maybe some sound mods...
this phone is already snappy once all the animations are knocked down to .5
I'm really looking forward to what you have in store for 444 metro...

but if you're gonna go all pro...I can wait :)

I can do the extended power menu, I'll look into proximity wake (never heard of it lol), some teaks could make it even better!
