Im not sure if anyone asked this question already but I recently tried to install this reg tweak on the new energy rom (7/3/2010) 6.5.X w/ cht and it didnt work, not even with the patch from the first page. Is there a way u can get this working for the new energy rom because I really liked that feature

Even if u cant, thanks anyway for ur hard work!!

I installed this on a stock VZW MR2 ROM and after nobody could hear me on phone calls. Had to hard reset.

If you have time, test it again on a CLEAN flash. Check that you are heard before you install, and after.

I don't see any reason why this would affect talking. It only modifies one registry key and all the entries inside of it.

I will next time I know I am going to have to hard reset. That may be a while. Phone is almost where I want it now as far as my mods go, so not willing to chance that.
Will keep thread updated though whenever I have to hard reset.

I have downloaded your cab from the first post, but it looks blank when I open it in WinCE.

There are no files in the cab just registry entries.

I had this on my phone, and while the program itself runs just like it should. It seems like it was way off on the calls.

I had my brother call me (We are both in Ravenna, Ohio) and it said the call was coming from Youngstown, Oh.

Is this because that is just where the closest (Sprint) tower happens to be at or what? Either way though, with it being off like that, The program really does not help (for me anyway).

Still however, I appreciate all the hard work you put into this app, and will hit ya with a Thanks.

From Post #1
NOTE:
1. THIS IS NOT AN APPLICATION. This is a registry tweak. There is nothing running in the background to slow down your device!
2. I spoofed my phone number to get the examples pictured below. The (710) area code is reserved for government use ONLY [so I hope I didn't dig my own grave my spoofing my number to that!]
3. As you know, an area code can cover a massive number of cities. I used the most recent area code database, which listed every city covered by the area code. Within each area code, the largest metropolitan cities were indicated. I mapped the coverage of the area code and selected the most central of the major cities. Therefore the reported location gives a general idea of where the number originates from.
4. I am receiving reports from many VZW ROM users that the location information is not shown on the incoming call screen. Please see below for a fix.

I skimmed over the list a few times to check for spelling mistakes/typos, but it is possible that I missed something. If you get an incoming call and, for example, it says "Toldeo, Ohio" instead of "Toledo, Ohio", or perhaps the location information is too long and therefore cutoff the screen, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I will update the tweak to ensure the mistake is corrected.

[For any Texas A&M Aggie fans, a user requested a tweak to the 979 area code, which I have posted here.]

No registry entries in the cab either. I opened the cab with WinCE, and tried to export the reg but it told me there were none.

CAB files use XML files too, you know...
