Hey guys,
I have a quick question. If I flash to custom roms and non-stock cdma radios, would I need to re-install any GSM radio if I'm planning to go abroad with this phone?

THanks!!!

if you tried to put a gsm radio on your phone, you'd permanently brick it. any of the radios in the first post will work like the stock one.

Sorry if I didn't make my question clear in my first post. What I meant was if I flashed to custom rom and any of those CDMA radios, would I need to do anything as far as GSM radio goes? like i stated, I want to be able to still use the phone in europe with a sim card. I was just wondering whether the CDMA radios already include the GSM ones or not.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from you said, the gsm portion is already included in those stock cdma radios. Correct?

Just a quick follow up, would all the GSM radios that come with these radios be different in how they would perform overseas? Or they should be similar?

too much space between icons makes these icons too small...

mms is a cab that you install, so yes. the radio is flashed, so no. when you do a hard reset, it reflashes the rom and erases anything you've installed. custom roms don't have a radio, so when you flash those, your radio remains the same. The stock Shipped roms have the radio, so when you flash those, the radio is replaced.

You could have answered this question for yourself. Go to settings and click on Device Information and look at the radio version you have installed. Or you could have attempted to send an MMS and seen that you couldn't even create one. Or you could have gone to Remove Programs to see that nothing was installed. Just some info for future reference for you..
