Hey all, my first post here. I just ordered my DNA, it's coming pre-rooted and S-OFF. I want to flash the Unofficial AOKP 4.2.2 port, but heard some rumors about GSM not working. I'm a Verizon customer, but I'm travelling to Germany for a few weeks soon. Do I need to flash the GSM patch I read about, or will that mess up my Verizon connection? Thanks in advance!
The ROM I want to flash:

And the GSM patch:

If you are using a local SIM then yeah, need the patches with all the right information for the carrier you are using, better even to get settings from the carrier directly when you buy your SIM. Some places will do that for you. However, I get poor signal and battery globally on non-stock ROMs though.
If you use the Verizon global plan like me then stay stock rooted. I get better performance out of mine that way. Main reasons for me, battery lasts longer and I get better/faster signal.
Global Radios work great though, better than my Fireball (Incredible 4G). Currently I am in Belgium and have minimal signal but it's way out in the country east of Genk. I had great signal in Dusseldorf, Aachen and other parts of western Germany last week though. Works well all over Netherlands too. Only issues were in France this weekend when it took over an hour to get a data signal but after a reboot it worked fine.
