You still have to load the right PRL and make the right changes to he PST. But this is a ONE-STOP-SHOP for the ROM. Once you get the PST settings this ROM is all you need. Internet, MMS, SMS, GPS, and a lot of BS...LOL.

Answer to the question, a sprint tp can be flashed to cricket, but my experience to flashing roms on htc phones to cricket have lead to many headaches and constant maintance to work. Have flashed many roms, third phone (titan, diamond, and touch pro) and there is no "out of the box rom" for cricket. It sucks trying to keep the phone working dialy on cricket. Just my experience.

Once I got al the EPST settings correct I have not had to work on my phone daily to keey it working. I love this ROM. Only problem is that Cricket times there Data Connection at 30 minutes. So if I use the internet and try to come back to it 1 hour later I have to close the Data Connection and let the program reconnect it. I give DRUNK on HowardForums.com a lot of credit for the constant updates to this GREAT Cricket ROM.

+1 there are no Out of Box solutions for Cricket. you will need to unlock, flash, and edit EPST settings yourself as the over the air programming may not work. often, you will also use the specific carrier CAB for your service

this is the only Sprint phone i have encountered with a locked SPL/MSL code! i needed to use the registry log tweak to get it, then used CDMAWorkshop to write it to 000000. you could skip this step but writing in the code every time you flash SUCKS

NO carrier CAB needed. But you are right "you will need to unlock, flash, and edit EPST settings yourself as the over the air programming may not work" and it never does...

I have a Verizon Touch Pro on CricKet. It works fairly well with the exception of the special Verizon crippling of the RAM and such which problems would still be there regardless of carrier.

When I want to update my PRL over the air I go into the EPST settings and update it with the 1042 PRL (attached). I do a *228 after it restarts and CricKet updates me with the newest PRL. This is the way for me to update because of not having a supported CricKet phone.

As far as ROM's go I've had the best luck with Calkulin's 6.5 Kitchens. They seem to be the most trouble free and have given me the best results. For my MMS I just use the cab in this thread that has been a serious frustration reliever:

Follow these instructions on setting up your EPST settings and you should have an awesome working phone:

Everytime you flash a new/different cook's rom make sure you check your settings because occasionally I've had a couple of areas revert to xxxxxxxx@xxxvzw.com. Haven't notice some of the other settings to be a problem.

These solutions have worked so far to solve these area's of concern. I've never messed with a Sprint Touch Pro to see what other issues can arise.
I'm pretty sure you can put on these settings and roms on the Diamond and be just fine. Ask around if you have any other questions.

Yes, Alltel is a CDMA phone. You're in the right forum. The Touch Pro works great with CricKet. The only limitations on your internet is that you have to use CricKet's proxy with a port 8080 only so some features may not work. Stick in this forum and you'll learn a lot. See my previous post for configuring info.

not sure if its just me but

IE is pretty slow thru the proxy server and i tested my speed on dslreports.com/mspeed and on the 50k file i got 80kbits/sec

now, i have opera mini 4.2 installed and i swear that its 10x faster for some reason. I went to the same site and did the same speed test using the 50k file and got this message " unstable/too fast a result, please try a larger file" so i did. I kept trying larger files all the way up to the largest they have to test, a 1mb file and i was still getting the same message about too fast a result. So, i found a site for testing the iphone internet speed and i got 3871kbps

now i have tested it 3 times on there and got an average of 3450kbps. is there anyway that opera mini is using the evdo on cricket? Its just crazy at the night and day diffrence in speed between opera mini and IE.
