I know you don't understand how this works, but in a nutshell

ICS shares an existing network connection on your phone over BT PAN or USB RNDIS.

Nothing more.

ICS Can "make" a connection if your phone is currently not connected. If it has to, it will connect using whichever profile is specified in the registry.

By default that is named PAM. The reg edit changes that to SPRINT. BOTH just dial #777 to make a ppp connection.

There is an additional change which involves either preventing a service from starting or deleting the dll which some people seem to think makes the connection work more reliably. It is a placebo, but if it makes you happy go for it.

I suppose if your device did not have a profile named PAM it would fail out of the box. If so, make a new profile that is a copy of sprint, named PAM.

This is not magic or rocket science or deep leet haxxor skils. This is just out of the box functionality of Windows Mobile.

Again, if you believe editing the registry without installing any additional software is cracking or a keygen, then you're totally nuts.

TOS violation, yes. Warez, no.
