Here ya go. This is Vanir 4.3 and you WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE ASSERTS IN ORDER FOR IT TO FLASH ON OUR BOOST VERSION. There is a video tutorial I made in the AOSP ROM section in this thread if you do not already know how to remove the asserts.

What's up buddy? Hope you're doing well. Sorry it took so long to get back with you. I've been camping/fishing!!!! WOOOHOOOO!! Much need R&R Bro
If you would, could you please post the link to the thread to the 4G fix you're talking about. I want to make sure I get the right one posted.
Also, Wy says Bakersfield is getting 4G started up. That's only an hour up the road from me. Hopefully it won't take long before they get it out here. Thankfully I've got my old trust cable modem though.

No need bro. It's Touchwiz. They don't have to be removed with TW only AOSP.

I'm currently sporting wicked v04. I'm definitely lovin' it. On a side note, out of nowhere 4g popped up @ my house. I am getting awesome speeds. I'm not sure if it is a fluke, as the skies are clear and the polar vortex is upon us. Brrrr. I can't quit running speed tests quick enough. Fingers crossed that I don't lose it when the negative temps retreat.

Sure you can flash all the toms you want. Must don't change the bootloader

Sprint just updated LTE Markets: Sprint Lights Up 40 New 4G LTE Markets, Total Rises to 340 | Droid Life so if your in any of those areas you probably just have 4g now.

Thanks for the list. Very nice find. Unfortunately I am not even sniffing any of the new locales. I'm not sure where its coming from, but its still here. Maybe my nightly 4g dance has finally paid off.

I currently run wicked v.04 and have been flip flopping between mk3 and mk5 for the past week. No issues whatsoever. Good luck.

Just flash it in recovery after you flash your rom and you'll have 4G on asop roms

Awesome! Getting spotty LTE here in Savannah, GA. I expect it by the end of March from what I am reading. Some areas are great, with 10MB down or higher. Not sure how this will hold up once the load gets greater as more users find out about it.Sprint just updated LTE Markets: Sprint Lights Up 40 New 4G LTE Markets, Total Rises to 340 | Droid Life so if your in any of those areas you probably just have 4g now.

I think you need to use a specific modem. Read the thread on XDA thoroughly and backup first... if you're already running MOAR you shouldn't need to flash a different modem. I'm downloading now, will give ya the low down after I flash.

Feeling kind of Dirty... I did something I NEVER do. I dirty flashed MOAR 7.2b2 over 7.1 last night. I ran it all day today with no problems.
Just now I dirty flashed MOAR 8.0.
Runs great so far.
I flashed the ROM (after a Philz Backup, of course) and then I wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Looks like it comes with the DKP December kernel.
Going to flash the new DKP kernel from Sunday just like I did last night after 7.2b2. Getting awesome battery life from it. Of course, I have the Zero Lemon Battery so it is not a problem, but I do recommend this newest DKP kernel.

MOAR recommends mk3, but mk5 ( the newest virgin mobile / boost mobile modem) also runs fine (for me at least). I have both modems downloaded and I swap often to check speed, connections, etc.. I prefer mk5, but as others have mentioned, YMMV. Good luck.

Thank you Sir. I'll get that added to the ROM thread with a write up once I get to my pc.

MK5 does work, but I found that for this rom in particular, it wasn't as good of a signal as MK3, but we all know modems vary from person to person!
Ohhhhhhhh? where did you find that at?... I'm not liking the battery drain I'm getting... sounds like I might like a updated dkp

Just FYI, if you want the latest AOSP builds they are now in a unified "d2" folder, due to a change in the CM kernel source which unified all the d2 branches. The link above is for the latest TW version.
