Root [Boost Mobile] ROM's confirmed working for SPH-L710T

[carnivalrejectq]

I'd like to add if you take the OA3 baseband update you'll be fine flashing these same ROMs and kernel fix for the ones that need it.I'm on that baseband now and I'm good to go.[emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]

......I read this so I odined back to stock, took the update to OA3 and then tried to odin Philz twice and its not working. Just shows the stock recovery. Mhmm.

OK lol here's the trick.You need to Odin TWRP first.After that pull battery and then Odin philz.Only way it will stick.
Just make sure you backup once your into philz.Trust me this works this way.I spent a day figuring it out.

It's fine. It just changed the boot and that's all really. Everything else should still be recognized as virgin....... I just wanted to let everyone know though, that Slimkat is absolutely awesome on this phone. I've tried a lot of ROMs since acquiring this phone recently but keep coming back to Slim. The DPI is perfect for this screen size and makes the phone seem a little bigger and it's very smooth and snappy, more so than any of the other AOSP ROMs I've noticed. Also for whatever reason this ROM combined with tweaks to wake locks have given me the best battery life it seems like. Try it out.

I can't remember but is there a kernel that fixes rotation?

I don't think so. I just use the rotation app that puts the toolbar in the notifications.

What ROM are you using that with? I tried octOS and it put my phone into a bootloop.

Update;

It is a katkat kernel. Derp. I tried Slimkat and boom rotation works. However sadly I am on Sprint and have no network connectivity whatsoever. So the beat goes on. If it is not one thing it is another. Back to Wicked X

Are there any AOSP ROMs working with sprint? I have yet to find one with working data.

 

[pOsSuM72]

I can't get that medifire link to load.Any other links for this kernel?

 

[stolikat]

Dropbox is not working for me for some reason. You need to dl this via PC.

 

[pOsSuM72]

Will have to after work wanted to try the lollipop test build kernel.

You will have to test it and see but my guess is yes.

 

[ElwOOD_CbGp]

Right now Im running CM11 M10 on virgin mobile. All works as expected.

Great thanks alot

I guess I'll hijack this thread, since discussion seems to be happening here.

I'm working on getting fixes in place for the rotation issue on AOSP. The build that ElwOOD_CbGp posted was just a test to see if I was on the right track for a fix. The change I made in that build fixes L710Ts but breaks L710s. I put together a new build that won't break L710s, and if everything works, I'll try to get CM to pick up the changes so a custom kernel won't be needed. Can someone test one of these builds to make sure both rotation and uncalibrated compass orientation are correct?

Lollipop: MediaFire Dev-Host

KitKat: MediaFire Dev-Host

I'm not familiar with exactly what problems the L710T has, other than the rotation issue. Can someone PM me to bring me up to speed?

does the kernel fix camera or is that something completely difffernt?

I don't have an L710T to play with, so I don't really know what's going on. Is this the same camera problems that all S3s have on Lollipop, or is it specific to L710T?
