READ CAREFULLY

Ok people are having issues with the original thread which can be found HERE the thread is just so cluttered, and instead of it being cleaned I'll just make a new one for people with the correct information so its not as cluttered. I have been running this rom now for little over 4 days no issues following the help of JRunRun and njdan30 ( So give them thanks )

I can confirm SMS/MMS/BT/GPS all work with no issues ( or with Fixes )

This is JRunRun's installation information that allows the ROM to work flawlessly and worked for me with minor tweaks ( I always try the path of least resistance first before taking the hard way :p :p :D )

TWRP 2.8.7.0 seems to work without issues.

EASY WAY ( TRY FIRST BEFORE YOU TRY THE MANUAL MANIPULATION OF FILES )

1. downloaded - ROM 3.3 DarkLord S7E APEK
2. downloaded - SLIM_APNs SLIM_APNs
3. downloaded - SU SuperSU 2.74
4. placed ROM and APN.zip and Supersu on my external sdcard
5. booted recovery (twrp 2.7.8.0), (I used 3.0.2 )
6. WIPE - Dalivk/Cache/System/Data (Then for good measure I factory reset)
7. Install -- loaded flashable zips from external sd to install
a. ROM 3.3 --> add more zips
b. Slim APN zip
c. Supersu --> started the flash
8. Flashed ROM --> chose sprint phone version, chose "SPR" as my csc in Aroma, DID NOT reboot on finish ( This is where people may be getting confused..)
Select SPRINT MODEL N9xxx then select SPR as the Sales Code ALSO there is another option that is showed here that DID give me issues there is 3 of them. 2 of them are WIPE options the 3rd is NO WIPE keep settings and app data I choose the 3rd option cause I noticed when I tried the first 2 my SMS would not work, and my WIFI would constantly diconnect
9. Allowed twrp to finish installing flashable apn and supersu zips
10. wiped cache/dalvik, reboot to system (10-20 min reboot).
8. Did not restore anything on system setup. Entered wi-fi info but turned it off afterwards. ( I just skipped this all together until the phone was completely ready to go )
Once loaded you will pick your language, and a option will show up wanting you to consent to sending usage data, uncheck mark that and continue setup
11. Loaded new kernel -- darkera 1.9 lte vzw (doubt this step is necessary but easy to find with a google search samsungvn) ( If you need the kernel link you can ask for it here and we will send it too you in a PM ) ( I am running the SPRINT kernel which seems to be very stable )

MANUAL FIX FOR SMS/MMS

1. Backed up stock OF1 apns-conf.xml to computer
2. downloaded - ROM 3.3 DarkLord S7E APEK
downloaded - SLIM_APNs SLIM_APNs
downloaded - SU SuperSU 2.74
3. Replaced apns-conf.xml file in SLIM_APNs.zip with the stock apns-conf.xml file saved in step 1, rezipped and saved with new zip name "stock_APNs_modded.zip" Some people are just flashing the slim apn without adjusting it and having succes.
4. placed ROM and APN.zip and Supersu on my external sdcard
5. booted recovery (twrp 2.7.8.0)
6. WIPE - Dalivk/Cache/System/Data [/COLOR] (Then for good measure I factory reset)
7. Install -- loaded flashable zips from external sd to install
a. ROM 3.3 --> add more zips
b. modded Slim APN zip
c. Supersu --> started the flash
5. Flashed ROM --> chose sprint phone version, chose "SPR" as my csc in Aroma DID NOT reboot on finish ( This is where people may be getting confused..)
Select SPRINT MODEL N9xxx then select SPR as the Sales Code ALSO there is another option that is showed here that DID give me issues there is 3 of them. 2 of them are WIPE options the 3rd is NO WIPE keep settings and app data I choose the 3rd option cause I noticed when I tried the first 2 my SMS would not work, and my WIFI would constantly diconnect

7. wiped cache/dalvik, reboot to system (10-20 min reboot).
8. Did not restore anything on system setup. Entered wi-fi info but turned it off afterwards. ( I just skipped this all together until the phone was completely ready to go )
Once loaded you will pick your language, and a option will show up wanting you to consent to sending usage data, uncheck mark that and continue setup
9. change /efs/imei/mps_code to "vzw" via ES File app <-- vzw must be lower case
10. build prop changes:
Code:
ro.product.name “cm_hltevzw”
ro.product.device “hltevzw”
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice="1"
ro.telephony.default_network="8"
Added the following lines after the ro.telephony.default_network line:

Code:
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311480
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha="Verizon Wireless”
ro.cdma.homesystem=64, 65, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83
gsm.sim.operator.numeric=311480 
gsm.operator.numeric=311480
gsm.sim.operator.alpha=Verizon
gsm.operator.alpha=Verizon
ro.net.apnwhitelist=fota,ims,supl,verizon,cbs,mms
ro.net.apnroamingwhitelist=ims
ro.net.apnpolicywhitelist=fota,ims,verizon,verizon 800 
ro.net.apnroamingblacklist=fota,verizon800
11. used Galaxy Tools to make sure mps_code and sales_code is set to "vzw"
12. Loaded new kernel -- darkera 1.9 lte vzw (doubt this step is necessary but easy to find with a google search samsungvn) ( If you need the kernel link you can ask for it here and we will send it too you in a PM ) ( I am running the SPRINT kernel which seems to be very stable )

Again thanks to JRunRun and njdan30 for all the helpful information and always trying to give helping hand to those that need it! and those that want to learn!! :highfive::highfive:

Is it a necessity to be on OF1? Im still on NC4. Just curious.
Honestly I do not have a answer to that, since I was already OF1 when I unlocked the bootloader. You can always try and let people know here, I was not the creator of this ROM I was just making a new thread for people who were having issues, due to the original thread being so cluttered with 5 billion different, ways to make it work..

As far as the files go I am currently uploading to google drive to share. I should have everything ready in a few more hours, and will post links

In loading this rom everything will change but the modem. I'm still using OF1 modem for example and have a totally functioning rom. That being said, yes I would upgrade and flash a new OF1 rom clean before doing the install. This rom takes quite a bit too get working but when you get use to it, it's no big deal. I wish folks good luck on following the instructions. They did not include any apn settings which I needed to get it going but what do I know.

Which is why you download the SLIMS_APN

Hello I am a bit confused with the rom 3.3 ---> add more zips did you mean you installed the rom then installed slim zip then you reinstalled the rom again?

And did you modify slim apn with your apns.conf.xml?

Add Zips means in TWRP you select the ROM, then select ADD more ZIPS which in turn you add 3.3 SLIM_APN, and SU then flash..
and no I didn't modify anything, my install method is highlighted in RED.

Then you probably didn't uncheck mark the, "send data" option while setting up your phone... and if you used my way in red ( I didn't have to use the FULL how to ) then you shouldn't have to edit the APN at all, you just flash the rom APN and SU that's all you have to do.

ONLY use the full installation if the easy way doesn't work...

The pics I just uploaded will kinda help, in TWRP. make sure you ADD all 3 files ROM - SLIM APN - SU then you start the flash
2nd pic is install of rom, you choose what is circled, I didn't get one of the next screen but you scroll down till you find the code "SPR"
Next pic again the option needed here is whats circled.
4th pic, MAKE sure you leave this ALONE don't select it, just finish out of it, and it will take you back to TWRP and the flash/install of SLIMS APN and SU will begin once those are done reboot

i was able to get the rom up and running but noticed i am unable to access the internal sd or external sd through my phone. I am also unable to boot to twrp.
which means I cannot flash the kernel that allows access to the sd card.
I tried reinstalling twrp through odin, it was supposedly successful but just get pushed back into system when booting to recovery.
any help would be appreciated
thanks,

Edit: was able to access twrp through restart option instead of shutting off and using hardware button combo

I made the mistake of changing the Access Point Names without copying them first. Would someone be as so kind to list the correct settings, that has everything working. Thanks

Shouldn't be having any issues with getting back into TWRP, using the buttons.. Did you use the full install or my work around?

Did you use the full flash guide? or my work around ? ( work around was in red )

could someone send me the link to the darkera 1.9 lte vzw kernel please

Did you try using the quick way or did you use the full step by step ?
