Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] JokeROM...T-Mobile software on the Virgin Mobile F3

[SSHunter]

the problem I mention is back it is this
this thing on the display appears on my apps photos and play store

This phone doesn't have the hardware to run T-Mobile. T-Mobile is GSM and Virgin Mobile is CMDA, it most likely will never connect to a T-Mobile cell tower.

That depends on the country.
Example: Virgin Mobile in Australia is GSM based.

But yes, in america, VM is CDMA. theoretically you could use t-mobile LTE/4G but the Virgin Mobile Optimus F3 might not have the T-Mobile bands for LTE either.


In MOST CDMA devices (other than LGG2/G3, & Nexus devices) the SIM card slot is used strictly for LTE. (Not saying you couldn't use it for GSM, because my Sprint Nexus 5 works on all networks ATT, Verizon, Virgin, Metro, T-Mobile, Boost, etc.)

So there probably a way to connect

Theoretically, maybe. I wouldn't put any money on it though.

Is anyone having these random colors eveywhere

Display driver issue should be expected when using this ROM, it's for a different model/varient of the F3

 

[SSHunter]

is there a way to fix it

Is anyone else seeing my profile picture show up for other members?

There is always a way, but sadly I do not know the answer as I do not own this phone anymore.

Why when I make a LG ROM of any type it has bugs when I use it, I don't have these bugs. It's horrible. You should be flashing the Virgin kernel, because that's what makes this ROM work.

Just so you guys know, the cm rom on this forum was originally a gsm rom. It's now a cdma rom. I haven't looked into this rom so I don't know what's in it but i'm sure most of the settings you would need to look at are in the build.prop file. The rest should be in the system/etc folder.

See the thing is, T-Mobile only uses GSM so we wouldn't be able to make this phone connect to T-Mobile, even if we made the ROM CDMA, it wouldn't help us.

Thanks for your input however.

So your saying that the T-Mobile rom can't be ported to T-Mobile?

No, I am saying that this phone can never work on the T-Mobile network. T-Mobile only uses GSM and converting the ROM to CDMA would not benefit

I think were thinking of two different things . The point I was trying to make is that the rom is a gsm rom that can be ported to work with our phones cell and data. Not that our phone could be converted to GSM. We don't have the hardware.

Well, the reason this ROM was created is so that us T-Mobile users may use this phone for T-Mobile. It is a perfectly stock rom, and making it work on Virgin Mobile would be Redundant.

I hope you understand what I am getting at

Actualy i'm now even more confused. Why is this in the Sprint/Virgin Mobile all things root sub forum? Moderator, Please move this into the T-Mobile/Metro PCS sub forum.

Because it is a ROM for the virgin mobile variant to allow people who have the Virgin mobile phone to use T-Mobile

 

[SSHunter]

anyone have a T-mobile micro sim that I can use

 

[momo.dhd]

can i have recovery for this rom?
and i want use with french network, can i do that?
thanks, sorry for my bad english

 

[Member1614188]

This is for the people that need a backup phone and have extensive WiFi coverage, because WiFi-Calling the the only telephony service that works when a provisioned SIM is installed. Literally I just dumped /system in a zip, removed Metro bloat and stuck in the Virgin kernel. It's a Frankenstein creation.

You can look in the All Things Root guide for a recovery to flash.
I'm not sure you can use this phone in France without having taken the UICC/SIM unlock here from Sprint.

Is there going to be any updates on this ROM

Most likely no.

I don't really see any needs for an update to this rom in my honest opinion
