Glad to see Slim coming back to the scene. It was always a great project on hammerhead and mako back in the day. Can't wait to see what you have in store.

Apn is still janky for vzw. Alex from tipsy got the issue fixed for tipsy, but he has no idea what fixed it as he was doing multiple things at once.

Doesn't do anything to help the fact but it can be fixed somehow so is hope.

Can you be more specific on the issue, what exactly happens ?

Thx, JP.

As soon as the ROM boots up it shows LTE for a couple seconds then shows roaming.

You can go into networks settings and change preferred network to LTE and it will switch over to lte but then the APN gets borked and you can't send SMS.

I tried switching it to Verizon internet, which is the proper APN, go to send a text and it boots it back to the top listed APN which won't send texts. I tried to delete the additional apns but that ended up leaving no signal at all when I tried to manually add the proper one

May not help, but I'm in a really low signal area myself. Mine jumps around on roaming a lot. I've never seen that before on any phone at my home plus I thought there wasn't any real "roaming" on Verizon.

Oh there really is a roaming, but this isn't making it roam, the idea of seeing it is cosmetic, but after testing it for a few days (different ROMs obviously) it seems like it does make the radio over work itself where it normally wouldn't.

I see, I figured the radio would overwork anyway in my area. For example, my Note 4 will constantly jump from 1x to 3g then to nothing, many times.

Kinda why the MM update for the Note 4 was awesome, because it allowed WiFi calling. I digress...

Doubt it will help but I'll provide a log if needed. I'll be happy to test anything too.

I have Alex a modem log when he was looking into it but it didn't come up with much I don't think. If yank wants one I can reflash and get one too.

It only seems to be an issue with vzw too, sprint also uses CDMA, but it doesn't seem to have the issue. That's why I'm thinking its linked to the APN slim six is using versus the CDMA type itself.

I'm sure yank will get it squared away, will more than likely just take a few builds, that is as long as he's willing / can look into it

Yep, I agree it can't be much. Also it's cosmetic from what I gathered, it doesn't consider the current network as "home" network, hence shows the roaming "R"...

Will be addressed, hope it's not much.
