Cm11, and Pac-man rom both work good enough for daily drivers, a couple small bugs here and there, but data WiFi LTE camera GPS all work.

That's good to know!

I'm assume you have to do the insert thing like before and use the LTE fix?

I'm getting the phone soon and I can't wait to use it though I don't know if i'll be on any cm roms or w/e. I dont wanna lose access to the fingerprint thing and the superbattery saving mode they put in.

JonathanWhitey · Sep 4, 2014

So, are there any fully working aosp roms that have mostly everything working including the camera?
EDIT:whoops, forgot to read a couple posts above... can anybkdy link me that cm11 that had the working camera? Thanks!

smith058 · Sep 5, 2014

Added CM11 to OP
was going to add pac-man but the link i found said the project was dead...

also added to post #10 some ROMs and Kernels that needs testing, for any flash-o-holics that would like to try them out

Just reporting back that the Virgin Mobile version works perfectly with cm11. Only thing is that I can't send MMS in hangouts. I haven't yet received MMS or been in an LTE area to accurately test those, though.
Edit: I just noticed that I have to set the preferred network to 3g otherwise I don't get data so LTE probably wouldn't work... Not sure if there is any kind of APN fix for virgin mobile but it would be very helpful.

smith058 · Sep 5, 2014

Yeah definitely sounds like you need an APN fix... I'm pretty sure with hangouts you can actually manually input your APN

Actually found this made for the VM s3 that fixed LTE for me... Sending MMS worked as well.
Edit: just received an MMS as well with no issues

JonathanWhitey · Sep 24, 2014

So there are official cm11 nightlies out now for the sprint variant of the s5. It won't let me flash it on my VM s5. I was wondering if any of you guys have had any luck with your boost models?

VivisClone · Oct 16, 2014

I've been using the pacman ROM. EVERYTHING works! Out of the box. It'll say Sprint instead of bm but that's not an issue. If you want to change it use the APN fix. It'll work.

Also. DO NOT use ktoonsez kernel. It caused major battery usage loss of data and majorly it caused me to have no sound while in call without being on speaker mode. And other stuff I can't quite remember.

It's a great ROM!

smith058 · Oct 17, 2014

Thanks for the input and heads-up...

Right now we have nothing. I have a few nandroid backups. I will see if that Philz option makes a flashable zip. It could be useful.

Mambrake says----->Why is it so hard to find actual Stock Boost mobile ROMS? I never found the stock Boost mobile Rom for my Galaxy S3 and I cant find it for my Galaxy S5. They are usually always Sprint. That means that the cell doesn't show the Boost start up.. Help???

If you did the APN fix it will show boost mobile at startup...

the reason why boost doesn't have any of its own ROMs is because we don't have any boost developers making roms for us... Boost Mobile itself is kinda looks down upon for having low grade phones and poorer service so most of the developers go with the higher grade phones (which the s3/s5 is) and the contract carriers which usually offer better service, however Sprint is sprint and that's what Boost Mobile uses so that's why I am with boost cuz it's cheaper. That's the main reason why we don't have our own roms, the second reason is the developers that we do have in boost mobile are still on older phones developing for other phones and haven't upgraded their phone (at least to the s5)

The Samsung galaxy rush had an amazing group of devs! It was all boost there. I mean it's not really relevant... But just wanted to say that there are boost developers out there.

Also. I've been having issues with using GPS on pacman. I get an initial location but lose it immediately following

VivisClone · Nov 9, 2014

So has active tried XtreStolite? Trying to find the lightest Rom available to us that has GPS and Bluetooth working. Pacman is getting there. But it lacks both those things. So does liquid smooth. Was going to try AOKP but it had trouble finding mobile service

VivisClone · Nov 19, 2014

Liquid smooth has everything I need!!! Except GPS. Can't seem to get it to lock? Anyone else have any luck

smith058 · Nov 20, 2014

No gps? That blows...
I haven't been able to test nothing for the last 2 months just shut down my business, moved out of state, now I'm going back to school full time ... Things are starting to settle back down I'll be getting in some more time on my phone trying out these ROMs again in a couple more weeks... I can't wait

Simon Khan · Dec 4, 2014

Good day all, i know this might not be the forum for this but i recently bought a G900P locked to virgin mobile but when i go under Mobile Network/Preferred Network Mode i only see LTE/CDMA and CDMA i DON'T see the GSM option anywhere, is this normal, i thought the G900P could have worked in both GSM and CDMA? Is this strictly a CDMA phone??? If anyone has any kind of insight on this i would greatly appreciate it thanks.

VivisClone · Dec 14, 2014

Tried running the klte blisspop ROM that's on the xda forums. Couldn't get data to lock. It stayed occasionally but nothing to test with. Everything else was great.

VivisClone · Dec 16, 2014

This is the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2889474

Blue tooth is working on it. Unsure of GPS. Still no data on latest. Even after using terminal to restart the modem. Might need to do the latest Odin boot over but I don't want to.

As for you Simon. I'm unsure. It might be able to be but the installed sim doesn't allow for it so went make it so?

That's my very minimal knowledge says. Sorry for lack of real help available.

If anyone gets 5.0 running do tell!!

What Android version are you running? Mine shows GSM/UMTS as an option.

smith058 · Dec 21, 2014

i have been out of the loop for a couple months, had to move to a different state and now I'm going back to school full time, sorry for my lack at keeping this thread more up to date... but anyway, what the hell did they do to the layout of this site? its awful! just my opinion. but i liked how it was before, now its harder to read and bland, like a noob site. back to topic, i will be putting in a bit more time on here again and hopefully add a bigger list of good daily driver ROMs to add to the line-up.

VivisClone · Dec 21, 2014

Welcome bank smith! Class to great it's going well!
Speaking of going well! I found a spring lollipop ROM! It's made by team nocturnal and with an APN fix applied everything works great!

Bluetooth works with my pebble steel. GPS appears to work just fine. I'll test it tonight.
Phone calls work. Unsure about MMS. Haven't tried it yet. LTE works with works. AOSP keyboard's swipe feature is not working. But goggles keyboard does.

Any questions about it I'll try to answer
