I activated my S3 on FreedomPop (they lease Sprint's data network) a while back, but I'm running a CyanogenMod-based ROM. Apparently CM can't update PRL and things like that so I had to temporarily flash a rooted stock ROM. After that and copying some files over to my CM backup, I got 3G working (was following instructions for another carrier I found on a different forum). 4G still isn't connecting, though.
What I'd like to know, if anyone can help me, is either how to get 4G working on FreedomPop in a CyanogenMod ROM, or what ROM would be best to install for this. I adore CarbonROM and don't want to give it up, but this lack of 4G is annoying because if I don't specify 3G only it prioritizes 4G and then won't give me a data connection at all, but I'd like 4G because I'm incredibly impatient when it comes to waiting for things to load. XD
I know very little about the why, but I've read that non-Touchwiz ROMs can't update certain things pertaining to what networks the phone connects to. Is this true? If so, suggestions on ROMs to try out (4.4 or higher)? I'm afraid I don't have the time to just try out every ROM until I find one I like.
