[Completed] How Do I Begin Modding A Galaxy S4 From Sprint? - XDA Assist

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 from Sprint, running Android Lollipop 5.0.1 and the stock Samsung ROM pre-installed on the device. I look forward to modding it with Cyanogenmod, but I am not sure what resources on XDA will help me to achieve this goal successfully, being new to this site; and I have never modded a phone before. Because there are risks involved with modding, I prefer to receive direction from a Respected Contributor.
I am comfortable with learning how to mod, and if there is anything I must know to avoid making a mistake when modding, then please let me know. Also, let me know if you need more information about my device before directing me to the proper resources.
Thank you.

Porting to Verizon Note II

Hey, I'd really like to start porting touchwiz based ROMs for the N7100 to the I605. The Verizon Android Development forum is scarce on ROMs compared to the international Android Development forum. I know a bit of Java, C++ and scripting, but I'd really love it if someone could teach me what I need to know to do this. I'll take the time to learn if someone will teach me.
Thank You in advance.

CleanROM is a ROM that is based on international and includes flashable options in the zip for whatever carrier that you have. Basically you could just note what software/libs/configuration files are in the "Verizon" section which will give you a roadmap as to what files need to be changed versus its international counterpart.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The purpose of XDA Assist is to point you in the right direction. It is not a technical support center. Unortunately I can not find any roms for your device on XDA. Building roms is very time consuming so unless you find someone with the same device who has built a rom and is willing to share it is going to be difficult. Sice you're an XDA member you might learn to build your own roms. http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/introduction-how-an-android-rom-is-built

[Completed] I want to root an LG VK700. Where do I start?

I would like to learn how to root a device but I'm not sure where to start. Pretty much I want have a more streamlined system that is more secure. It's currently an android device. LG G Pad VK700. The carrier is Verizon. I have used Linux a lot and done live builds along with kernel builds. Nothing really custom though. I was told this was the forum to hit up.
Where do I get started? Any recommended books?
I'm more interested in learning the entire process of rooting a device and developing and installing a custom ROM than in a quick download this app.
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist.
Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
It should work as reported here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60319213&postcount=170
Good luck!

[Completed] what specifics per device are needed to "match" roms to attempt a port

I'm pretty new at all this buy the basics of installing already made roms I get my question is when attempting to create new custom roms what information about the device say (cpu, gpu, modem, kernal, etc) need to match up to attempt using or moding those said parts of the dev process in order to build a working tree. Continued below Sidenote........
Sidenote : idk if the terms I used were correct in there placement or meaning but I feel that any who will reply to this thread probably grasp what I'm getting at.
So essentially what I'm attempting to do is figure out what things to change and how to change them in order to figure out what goes into building a rom or the favorable option that I'm shooting for is what to look for to attempt to match up a already built custom rom from another device I need little to no changes in order to use on my device's, reason being, both devices I am currently woking on, which are a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime sm-g360t and a HTC Desire 626s, do not have a official or even, to my knowledge, have an official CM and honestly besides one,the HTC which I have TWRP and it's running now off the AdvancedStock rom I found on this site and it keeps wanting to break or just doesn't work the way I want .
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

[Completed] Noob question for new android user who moved away from apple!!

I recently made the switch from apple to Android! I love my new Galaxy s7. I have found many great tutorials on how to root and I completely understand the risks of going through with it. Could you please post a link to the most recent, and highest rated, thread on how to root for a beginners level of expertise? Also, does baseband version matter with root? If it matters my Android version is 6.0.1 and my baseband is G930VVRU2APG5 and Kernel is 3.18.20. Please remember this is my first time on your site and I look forward to the help with my new Galaxy s7. Thank you so much!
