Does anyone know if this build works OK in Europe with purchased SIM cards?

?? If you're talking about the Windows side (ROM), then you don't need unlocked to use outside the U.S.... only inside! Should work fine as is.. Of course that's with Sprint SIM... so, good question... does it need to be unlocked to use a different SIM, been so long since I looked at that... I'm sure it's in one of the sticky's, let us know what you find!

I had thanked you for your help on the sim card/wifi tethering post and then answered the one about vibrating and saw that I was pretty close. I usually try to keep my posts organized and not use multiquote for different questions/answers. But when I saw 30k coming up, I couldn't resist.

Funny thing is (and I'll have to go back and look) I think I got the 20k one too. Man, I must spend too much time here...I should really be studying for my genetics, pathophysiology and pharmacology exams.

Anyway, congrats to NRG for such a good and long running ROM and forum thread. And thanks to all of the regular contributors too.

Now that's funny! Hard to believe 3000 pages & 30,000 posts on same page! I was going to take the 30k post as well but thought it would be a little much.. LOL :>)) good one

My first thought is that you should make sure you task29, and/or flash to stock rom before flashing to a new rom. You may have some lingering issues from another Rom.

What else are you installing after the flash?
Are you overclocking?
What Carrier are you on?

If you could provide some of those answer before complaining maybe we can help you figure this out. Otherwise please read the WIKI: http://wiki.ppcgeeks.com/index.php?t...nergy_CDMA_ROM

Darn good thing you dropped into this forum chuggy! thanks/d

Anyways hope all is well, also if you know of anyone looking for a good TP2 hit me up, here's the link to the thread I am selling it in: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/bargain-tr...ro-2-sale.html, thanks!

Hey, there you are.. lol, I was wondering out loud here: #29681 (@ bottom of post) just as I suspected... took you a whole month to fess up eh?! LOL!! So, why the evo & not the epic..? (Some off topic latitude based on the tons of helpful posts) As you probably won't even see this post.. I'll pm you :>))
I thought the $ for the phone was a tad high until I saw all the others selling for that or above!

I typed this using swype, works great, no lag freezing or anything and in trying my best to make it freeze ...

So no resolution except using NRG's version works for u, right.. I'm just looking for a couple line common problem summary & couple lines of resolution for FAQ, anyone want to sum up one, please let me know..

that's what you get for using swype with the keyboard out lol..

*edit* re. all the details of the differences in the various 007 builds... looks like it's about time to flash off my current 29005 onto 007... lol... :>)) **

Is there any point in installing the following cabs or perform carrier provisioning on sprint (I thought NRG included most of them when he was asking for device specific feedback a couple months back)? I stopped installing many of these but the last couple of ROM's the wifi has been shutting down on me when the phone sleeps and MMS isn't working without running the provisioning.
1. sprint provisioning (under tools)
2. NRG.ROM.Sprint.MMS.Settings-Boushh
3. wifi on in standyby
4. touchresponse_high
5. SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy
6. NoPushInternet_v2
7. Enhanced D3d Driver
8. At0mAng Enhanced D3D Driver
9. NEW_Maxx134_Complete_BatterySaving_RegEdits3

Or is there a way to comb through NRG's ROM so I can see which cabs are included? I tried htcRIE and noticed a LiveLocationCAB.cab that hasn't always been there but can't verify anything else. Lately after installing all these cabs I've noticed when internet sharing via usb it will freeze or I will get a #777 error not able to connect after it was working for a minute or two and then on my pc windows mobile device center starts interfering. I want to make sure one of these cabs isn't breaking it. Thanks to all.

great Q, here's my understanding... but i'm a few ROM's behind
1 done, 2 done but has smaller size limit, would need cab if larger needed, 3. I always run that cab, didn't think he ever built that in, 4. never use it dunno, 5. i took it out of my restore last burn, things work fine.. 6. *(I) took it out, 7. took it out, 8. took it out, 9. took it out
EVERYTHING seems to run fast & great for me...

Sprint version is unlocked to work outside USA with any sim card.
I am using a Sprint TP2 with italian and moldavian SIM cards.

Maybe other carriers locked their phone, but for sure with Sprint you need only to plug your foreign SIM (outside USA) and it will automatically work.

I did not try to use swype with the keyboard out. I had Swype selected as default keyboard. I had to answer an email and decided to use the hardware keyboard, Swype had not popped up, I opened the keyboard and the phone froze for a few minutes. It freezes other times too. It doesn't get along with my phone. I just don't use it any more. If I ever get a phone without a hardware keyboard, I will probably use it.

Went to edit the XML for you on my phone (a pain) and realized there really is no need.

Did you ever try just renaming to .cab and dropping in your XML_UC directory.

From what I can tell, a TSK file is a CAB.

Let me know if it works (reboot after install). If not, I will edit the XML.

Off Topic

I am a big fan of Internet guru Kim Komandos news letters, here is a resent quote from her on a news story about windows 7 mobile:

"Third-party service behind Windows Phone 7 phantom data.
Earlier this month, Windows Phone 7 users reported strange data use on their phones. Microsoft now says that the source is an unnamed third-party service. Microsoft says it is working with the service to fix the issue. Maybe it's time to finally upgrade that old brick of a phone you have."

Wow, thats brutal, does Microsoft even have a clue?

Been having a lot of screen lag and lookup's with the last 3 rom's 29005, 29007 (currently on 16th). Wondering if 23rd rom has fixed the following:
- screen hangs on last closed screen and will not return to home sense home screen for extended time (10 seconds) or sleep/restart
- home screen hangs so you can't thumb scroll to another page and all of the icon buttons, with the exception of Start, Action Menu, are inoperable.

Seems to be more instances of hanging/freezing with the past 3 rom's. Memory seems to frequently drop into the teens regularly where it has been in the 30's and 40's previously.

I'm pretty much a stock user other than Telus provision and exchange account.

I had been sticking with a Dec 13 cookie 1.8.5 rom because I hated the cookie 2.0 beta roms. Finally upgraded today, I can't really even tell the difference with 2.0 anymore. We'll see how a week or two of use slows the phone down, but for now the latest jan 23rd rom seems to be pretty slick!

No momentary hangs for me yet Van G, or at least not any worse than I've always had with this phone.

I don't know what options you all have set... but do you have it so the SIP is auto deployed on an input field? eg, in the Advanced Settings GUI, I think its usually disabled by default in NRGZ ROMs for some time now. The few times I was playing around and enabled it, that caused me some grief.

However, I have a few users that love using swype for their primary SIP. None have ever complained about any major slow downs when the swype keyboard is deployed to the screen. If there was any significant pause I would be hearing earfuls from them. We pretty relied on the ROMs where NRGZ had whatever version he baked in. I know there was a period he did not, and I had to install one of the cabs from the paperclip (swype3.9.5032.cab) that a fellow ppcg member posted some time back. No issues with it from what I remember.
