okay spb works but it you have to go to the options and uncheck system data, I must mention even, that what really didn't work was a version of htc home. so it works for the most park!

That's correct but only for restoring. Backing up doesn't work at all regardless whichever you uncheck. Even of you only have 1 item checked.

where can I find the registry for internet sharing to let it work it looks like it is not in the same folder?

Ok, before I upgrade, is there any reason to? I have my titan just how I like it and don't feel like re-doing everything.

Aside from Threaded-SMS, does this ROM add anything of value?

I'd like to be the 1st one to post the fix to the ROAMING issue with the new ROM, or I guess I should say the lack of Roaming. As some of you have already noticed, the Roaming Setting no longer has the "Roaming Only" option. It appears they are trying to cut back on all of the Roaming. Well after looking at the programming and the registy, I quickly learned that the Roaming Only option will work if you put the proper registry settings back on. Well, I have those settings for you ...

Before you can do any of this, you will need a Registry Editor. If you are unsure of what a Registry Editor is or have no clue about the registry, you should probably not be attempting this ... LOL

First thing you will need to do is go to ...
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\Netw orkService
After highlighting ...\NetworkService, you will see the list with the first line saying "ItemCount". You will need to highlight this line and go into changing the value. You will want to change the Value Data from 2 to 3. After clicking OK, you should see under Name: ItemCount and Data: 3 (0X000003).

The second thing you need to do is create a New String Value. Once you have done this, you will see Value Name and Value Data. Under Value Name, enter "ItemName3" and under Value Data enter "Roaming". After finishing this, you should now see this entry under Name: ItemName3 and Data: Roaming.

The last thing you need to do is create a New Binary Value. Once you have done this, you will see Value Name, Value Data, and a box that says Base with Binary, Decimal, and Hexidecimal as options. Under Value Name enter "ItemValue3" and under Value Data enter "3". Make sure that under the Base option box that Decimal is checked. After finishing this, you should see another new entry under Name: ItemValue3 and Data: 3 (0X000003).

That is it !!! You will now be able to force Roaming whenever you need to without having to put up with dropped calls when you are between service areas. Anyway, I am glad that I could contribute something as I have gained lots of knowledge from PPCGeeks. I hope this helps and if you have any further questions, please PM me. Good luck ...

My post above does have some flaws so I guess my first post isn't is informative as I originally thought ...

Unfortunately this does not hold after the phone is rebooted. It will reset the settings back to the original so I will look at this some more and see what I can do to make this stick (if I can). As it was mentioned, it may be why Sprint held out on "officially" releasing the ROM.

If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks ...
