The firmware 12b kernel should work on t-mobile firmware 10h, but I can't say for sure. I've been asking people to install it and let me know if it works on t-mobile, but noone has.
 
I found some bugs

home button is not working,
cannot boot to recovery from homescreen

why does CWM ask me if i wanna hard reset my phone everytime press volumn down+ power key?

Make sure you have CWM installed from the link I provided in the first post and read the instructions, you're not suppose to use the button combo with recovery.

As for the home button it's working fine for everyone else. Try going into nova settings under "gestures and buttons" and have a look at the home button settings there.

Thank you so much for getting back at me so quickly
How do I reinstall CWM using custom rom? Do I just simply go back to the link, download the rom, and install it? or do I have to return my device to stock?

Other than the problem I have, this is a very smooth rom

Thanks!

Just registered so I can respond. I have the Tmobile F6. I just downloaded the Rom. I am on a root 10h firmware that I slimmed the piss out of and running Link2d.

I will try your kernel with Tmobile here in a few. Im having to tether with pda net for internet right now. So once I am back up and running Ill let you know what happens.

In my previous reply to you I said to go to the first post and click on the CWM link and follow the instructions to install cwm. There's a few useful links in the first post.
 
I flashed the kernel from your site. Working successfully. Gonna have to remove the metropcs apps as they crash on T-mobile service. Seem to get a little better network speeds with the kernel as well.

Great thanks. First real confirmation I've gotten that the freedom kernel works on t-mobile. ;)

Also if you installed the latest version of the rom dated 6/5/2014 and followed all the install steps, there shouldn't be any metro apps.

Ill try the newest version. And your welcome. Thanks for making the rom. Will you be doing a Kit Kat rom when it releases next month for the F6?

Hi!

This ROM flashable for LG Optimus F6 D505 as well?

So I know the two phones (D500/505) are not much different.

Don't know if it would work on the D505, you would have to flash it to try and come back and let me know if it does (if you're willing to take the risk).

For now kitkat is just a rumor for the f6, but if it's released I'll do a rom as long as we get root.
