Never mind the post. My phone apps are not deodexed (I checked system/apps with Root explorer) So option 1 will not work. Sounds like I have to do option 2. These VZ bastards... I tell you.... hiding APN settings... sheesh.

AOSP - CM10.1 + VZW Galaxy Note 2
I can get everything to work with VZW Galaxy Note 2 and Net10 on Stock, deodexed and rooted rom from Scott, but cannot get it to work with AOSP / CM10.1 when editing the apn xml file. Any reason why it wont work? Thanks in advance

That's because it didn't sorry the 1900 AWS bands that t mobile runs on. I've heard in the reframed areas it works, but check this out to try and enable it. The dev told me in worst car just restore your backup qcn

This depends on whether or not T-Mobile has upgraded the towers in your area to serve 4G on the 1900MHz frequency.
I don't know how I missed this, but (at least in JellyBeans rom) you can simply add an APN via the context menu button. Not sure if anyone else knew this.
I have an active ATT S3 and an active VZW N2. I forward all calls and texts from S3 to N2 via apps. Can I really switch the sims and now have the ATT phone number on my N2? I am on the stock odexed rom that came with N2...anything flashable for that?

Ok I got my answer it is not needed I just need to be in a area with the right towers. The closer i got to boston the more 4g i got.
Tmobiles lte will not be live for awhile and i belive the answer would be no. Becuase you cant get At&t lte on it
Is there anything that can enable APN switching on 4.2 devices?
I really want to use my AOKP build in China next week, and not a 4.1 build.

32Overview:
There are a number of threads out there discussing if the VZW GN2 is carrier unlocked and what methods work, etc and I am creating this thread to pull it all together.
First and foremost, the VZW GN2 comes SIM unlocked out of the box. It is global ready and you can technically put in any SIM (assuming it is active) and not need an unlock code or the unlock method you have seen in other posts (AT&T or T-Mobile variants). This includes domestic carriers such as AT&T and T-mobile. Also voice should work without any changes, however, data will not work unless you add APN data.
Verizon chose to only put their APN data on the phone and block the ability to add APN data via settings. Most likely so you use their global services to make more $$$.
How to add APN data:
In order to get data working you have to add carrier specific data to the apns-conf.xml file. While you may have been able to do this is in the past on other devices under settings, VZW has blocked this.
Method 1:
See Adrynalyne's post below (Post #2) for a flashable mod (via custom recovery) that will enable the Add APN menu by removing Verizon's block. (For deodexed roms only)
Method 2:
- Ensure your phone is rooted
- adb pull /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
- Add the carrier data to apns-conf.xml with your favorite text/xml editor and save
- adb push your modified apn-conf.xml file back to /sdcard/
- Copy this file back to /system/etc/ and change permissions (I use root explorer)
- Power down and change your SIM card (AT&T, T-mobile, whatever) if you hadn't already done so
- Power back on and go to Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names (if done properly you should see the APN data you entered for your respective carrier).
- Select one of the APN listings and then you should have working data
- Profit
VZW & AT&T APN Settings:
A working example so you can see how I added additional lines at the beginning for AT&T 3G/HSDPA+/Tether/MMS

Removing the Non-Verizon SIM message :
This will occur on roms that include Samsung's Setup Wizard (including stock) - all others can ignore
Method 1:
- Freeze "Setup wizard 1.0" in Titanium Backup
Method 2:
See imnuts' post below (Post #4) regarding replacing a file (for deodexed roms only)

NOTE: I am not responsible for any issues caused by tinkering around with this due to the nature of root and messing with /system. Use this at your own risk and ask someone if you have any question before doing something that may mess up your device.27Ok, I have confirmed this to work, and works well with imnut's mod to remove the sim warning.

This enables the apn editor under settings.
Go to Settings, More Settings, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, menu button.
This is a flashable mod!
Note to rom devs: Feel free to use this, but give credit where due. Trust me, I will know if you kang it10If anyone is interested, I combined the International Note 2 (N7100), AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon apns-conf.xml file to create what is hopefully a fairly complete APNs list. Not saying it will work for your carrier, or that it works at all (remember, I don't have a device yet), but people can use it if they wish. I put it on Pastebin for everyone's viewing pleasure and you can get it here.6I hate double posting, but if people also want to get rid of the annoying ongoing notification when using a non-VZW SIM card, I've found the culprit and fixed it. Download this apk for a deodexed ROM and replace the original in /system/app/, then reboot. Make sure that /system is mounted as read/write before copy/pasting, and also that you're on a deodexed ROM. After copying it over, reboot and you shouldn't have the ongoing notification anymore.3
Total derpage on my part.
Here you go. I also updated original post.
