Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

It's like coming home after a long trip...:):D
By the way...Do any of you guys have the warp 4g?


I'm running the S3 now. I went ahead and bit the bullet, took the KitKat update and do not regret it one bit.

Will I buy another Samsung device now that Knox is here to stay????? I doubt it. I've got at least a year if not longer before I even consider upgrading though. With the way technology is progressing, there's no telling what will be available when the time comes for me to buy another phone. It gives me chills just thinking about what will be available in a year or 2. :D

I'm very happy with my S3. The phone has some great Devs working on it and I have a feeling development will continue for some time to come. :)

I went ahead and took my upgrade to the S4. Untold to me it was a "new" S4 variant (not L720 the L720t) and now I'm having the best service and fastest/lest problematic phone I've ever had! Was a little worried about root/rom.. but besides the triband radio (just dont mess with that) I've got the kt747 kernel on C-rom with twrp 2.7.0.1 KitKat goodness.. omg! And i get spark! 58 Mbps down!

Unfortunately, what your see in the prevail 2 section is what you get.

It's current Android version is 4.1.2 (JB) and likely will not be updated by the manufacturer. For someone to make a kitkat rom we would (generally) need a phone with near identical specs that already has kitkat available for it. (which isn't the case)

Another contributing factor is the popularity of the device. Unfortunately, the low end specs of the prevail 2 do not really seem to be appealing to the development community... So at the moment there is very little development :eek:

Yep. You're absolutely right LV.

One of the main reasons the Prevail was so popular was because it was the 1st Android in the Boost lineup and people were buying them up left and right. Stores couldn't keep them on the shelves. lol Unfortunately that wasn't the case with the Prevail 2. By the time it was released there were quite a few Android phones available from Boost.

when you go to samsung phone site and type in the model # (sph-m840) it calls it the rush2.... just so others know.... not sure if there are posts about the rush2 or not i havent searched it lol
Somewhere else it's called something else as well I forgot the name. But that was what I was hinting at to many names for the same phone

rush2/ prevail2/ ring ..... those are the 3 i know of... :)

Ring thats it . thank u Desilynn I'm guessing why this is ? because you have maker of phone then providers each offer their own branded apps n logos to help tell them apart from provider to provider to help tell them apart? Example in my opinion would be say we both had same phones makers but if u told me galaxy 2 ring then I would assume that u was on virgin mobile. N if I said I was galaxy 2 prevail then one could assume I was on boost mobile and galaxy 2 rush would be t mobile or Verizon. I'm just askng if I'm correct.

i think so but i always root mine so im running virgin mobile modified stock rom on my boost mobile lol as i have soft bricked etc this phone while playing around :D
me and hubby have talked about an upgrade for me and i will probably go to the s4... and of course root and custom rom and kernel it etc
i use very little of what comes stock on the phones so i remove nearly all if not all that isnt required for the phone to operate;)

Noooooooooooooooo! Whatever you do.. don't get a triband device. I'm ready to throw this at a wall. Hope you can get an older s4. The triband s4 has a 'T's at the end of the model #. Spark is the worst system for data sharing ever.. Lol. No chance (from what I understand) to receive any kinda svlte or svdo. Sprint publicly said it's over their heads and they're not trying.
Someone please say I'm wrong.
