[ROM][Jul 05] -=- CloudyG3 2.5 -=- [All Variants]

@Mechif, oh, now you've hit another snag. If I read correctly in the other thread you have a LS990? That is a Sprint CDMA phone with very limited support on a GSM network. No 4G LTE at all. Maybe 3G at best.

LS990 supports 4G bands 25 (1900), 26 (850), and 41 (2500). Only two of the 3G bands may be supported and apparently no 2G according to willmyphonework.net and frequencycheck.com sites. For both Koodo and Telus.

I don't know of any forced tweaks or workarounds. Almost sure you can't flash modems for one variant on another in a bid to get coverage.

Yes, it’s LS990 sprint. I just want the text and calling to connect and I’d be happy with that. Data not a big deal...3g ok if it did connect. Right now the sim just spins at the top with no bars. I can’t call or text. When I used a sim in the Philippines where I got the mobo I used a Globe sim using gsm network and it gave me text and calling. If I turned on data the sim would disconnect and then just spin at the top with no bars like now. I would then do a factory reset and the sim would reset with text and calling. When I got to Canada I put in the sim for Koodo and it just spun at the top. So I did a factory reset but every time I did this the data was turning on as a default with the startup and would disconnect the sim. The data wouldn’t do that for the Globe sim in the Philippines when I did a factory reset. The data would only come on if I turned it on in the Philippines after a factory reset. That’s why I figured I needed to flash a rom to connect at least to calling and texting as I have nothing right now.

Any ideas?
Thanks again.

@Mechif, nah, I'm at a loss as far as getting the LS990 working on Koodo. Other than choosing GSM/WCDMA in Network Settings I can't think of anything.

Might be preferable to try another ROM other than this Lollipop one. I'm not too familiar with the LS990 threads but maybe have a look see below for something more recent.

Or maybe from this starting point. Looks like there may be some threads discussing GSM on LS990.

Thanks Marc. I’ll read some more. In the meantime I was looking at the build properties of cloudy and found the ro.build.target_country=US
should this be CA for Canada? I’ve attached photo.
Also you can see at top right the spinning circle for the sim not connecting.

Hi Marc,
I sent a PM to your inbox. Please have a look.
Thanks.

@Mechif, interesting. From what I read those settings usually have to do with getting the proper data icons to show. But yeah, change the country to CA and see what happens.
BTW, if you want to go further, operator code for Telus is TLS or tls. Sometimes upper or lower case makes a difference though not sure why.

Just for informational purposes (I couldn't/wouldn't recommend actually patching - unless feeling adventurous and have a full backup) is this article about GSM on CDMA/GLOBAL phones. LS990 is listed as a working phone.

Here's an old 2015 thread about unlocking the LS990...
SIM UNLOCKING for LS990 ZV8 | Sprint LG G3 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/sim-unlocking-ls990-zv8-t3083567

Some folks say you could probably just call Sprint, tell them the situation, and see if they'll unlock it for international use. I assume that info was/is probably for actual Sprint customers though.

Thanks Marc. I sent a PM to your XDA inbox on a different thought. I’m hoping we can carry over there for a moment.

I think the pm didn’t get sent properly as there was no copy in my sent folder so I resent the message to you. Please have a look in inbox.

Hi there!

Is this ROM still maintained?
And how do you assess the stock (G4) camera app? (compared to the stock G3 camera app)

Thanks for your feedback.
