RevA on custom ROMs

**yearn** · #1 (**permalink**) 04-15-2009, 02:33 PM

Hey guys, My area finally updated to RevA yesterday, But Iv noticed none of the custom ROMs Iv used have a working rA icon.
What I was wondering is if your in a rA area using a custom ROM will you still get the added speed even though your icon never changes, or does the phone stay in Ev and not recognize the rA signal?

That's a good question. I'm in the atlanta area and just assumed we had rev A. Never seen a symbol for it, so maybe not.

Easiest way to tell is to flash back to stock and it will immediatly pop up an icon that says "rA".
I kinda assumed springfield,MO already had it also but they didnt untill ths morning at 1:00 am

Can say with 99% certainty all the new custom roms out there will give you revA speeds, as long as you have a revA capable phone and are in a RevA coverage area. The cook may not have included the RevA indicator is all. Doesn't mean you don't have revA data service. On a side note, some say rA, while others have the E in the shaded box.

I found a useful sight, Georgia doesn't have REV A at all.

Yeah, but they don't even wear shoes in Georgia and they date their cousins, so you're point is moot.

I am totally just kidding dude.
