Cool, thanks for trying it out. I'd just revert back to your prior, working rootfs until additional enhancements come down the pipe. The build is pretty useful if you have wifi access, I'm sure we'll get CDMA data before too long. Dev is really picking up. Exciting times ...
As far as I've read, it appears that 95-civic is pulling the latest files from the kernel build and the rootfs.img build, but then adds his own additions to get the CDMA working. Without having that rootfs.img from 95-civic, I think we lose the CDMA support. I don't understand exactly what is behind all this, but I assume the whole RIL is contained within the rootfs.img.

Hopefully 95-civic will give whatever additional knowledge he is holding onto in his sources to some of the other developers, or start to push his changes in with the regular builds so that progress will continue for all users both CDMA and GSM alike.

Until then, I believe we keep having to use the rootfs.img provided specifically for the CDMA TP2.

Based on this understanding, I assume the latest kernel's may add functionality for some things without requiring a change of the rootfs.img (which apparently allows the CDMA) and can be downloaded and then copied over top of the old one.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, because I probably am...

I'm using my own custom ROM, built with Calkulin's kitchen. I've tried putting the phone into Airplane mode, I've tried making sure my data connection was off, I've tried making a call just before launching Haret... when I get into Android, I have no service. I do NOT have a SIM card installed (I got mine as a refurb replacement for TP1 so it didn't come with the Sprint International SIM like a NIB one would). I don't know if that's related or not, but I get the No SIM alert along with the No Service alert. I've tried to manually scan for networks but it cannot find any and when I tell it to choose automatically, it says Registered on Network and when I try to make a call, it says Not Registered on Network. For those NOT having this issue - do you have a SIM card installed (even if its just the Sprint International SIM card that comes with a NIB phone), and for those that do have this problem, same question.

Edit: Never mind *sheepish grin*... apparently making a call before launching Haret DOES work... only thing is, Android never reports being connected to service. The Notification area always says "No Service" and the signal bars will not show signal strength. The main difference is whether or not the signal strength icon has an "X" over it. Once I got the "X" to go away I was able to make a call...
I was just about to post something to this and then you added this edit (as I opened the reply window to type the edit showed up in the quote). Glad to hear you got it working!
