All this is, is a simple guide to get data and mms/sms working on "most" other note 3 variant 5.0 lollipop Roms. As an example, we will use darklord 2.2. This method has worked on most of the Roms that I have flashed that are not sprint based.
OK. You are going to need a few apps. APN manager and APN changer and root explorer. APN manager is a paid app, but worth it when flashing other variant's roms. When you do flash DarkLord 2.2, you will need to do so with philz recovery. It will not flash in TWRP. Once the phone boots, choose your language and when you get to the second screen asking about sharing your data usage. Check "no thanks". It should be the second option. Log in to Google play store and download those three apps. Open APN changer first. See if there is an APN already there named sprint. Even if there is or is not. You will either change a few things in it or if there is not one, you will create one. Either or, you APN should read as follows. . . . . .

APN: n.ispsn
PROXY: not set
PORT: not set

In this link, download all the files.
APN file
Lib file
Mms apk
Push the APN file to system/etc folder. Just replace the original file and set permissions.
Push the lib file to system/lib folder. Just replace the original file and set permissions.
Now take the mms apk and push it to system/private folder and place it in the mms folder. Just rename the original one with. bak at the end of the name. Set permissions. If you are not sure to what the permissions should be, pay attention to see what the permissions are for the file you are replacing. But I am pretty sure that all the permission settings should be as followed
RW-R--R--
Reboot. Now go back to the apn changer app and see if your apn is still there. Might be unchecked. Just tick it. Give it a few minutes and see if data starts up. If not, go to the apn manager app and scroll to the next screen to right. There will be a very long list of apn configurations of multiple carrier's. Scroll through and see if the APN2 LTE internet APN file you created is there. Should be in alphabetical order. Once you find it the vertical bar to the left of it should be green. If not, press or long press on it and you will see a heart at the top of the screen. Press it and it will save it as your preferred apn configuration. If LTE does not appear, just reboot, go back to apn changer and tick The apn that is now there and LTE will now be working. I have tried this method and shared this method with other members and it works. I am running darklord 2.2 now. Have been for a few days. Sorry There are no zips for this. If someone wants to make one, then by all means go for it.
Here is the frameworkres.apk that I modified for darklord 2.2 Push it and set permissions. It will display sprint instead of roaming indicator off. You might want to push it to the system folder first then set the permissions, then take it and push it and replace the original in the framework folder. Might put you in a boot loop if not done that way first. Thanks to @legalmoneygang for the winzip tip.

Must give thanks to @sac23 for being a silent teacher. I read everything that he has posted throughout all forums. He is the one that I learned about the lib file for mms. Plus I love every rom he puts out. I truly admire what he can do.
And thanks to the guys over in the international forum for the awesome darklord rom and the relentless work ethic they put forth. @nambavuong and @thereassaad and @filchi756.

These are my steps that I use, and I have flashed dang near every touchwiz rom for every note 3 variant. Once you get into the habit of this and have the needed files. This process only takes a few minutes.
Hope i have not left anything out of this lengthy so to say how to. Hope this helps. If it does, then awesome. Glad we could get it working. If it does not help. Sorry you couldn't get it to work.
