I've uploaded the CAB for Sprint TV and Sprint Navigation to the FTP Site. Both look like they are much better and actually written for the Mogul!

Note that the ROM doesn't actually include the Sprint TV program, it has a stub that downloads this CAB the first time you run it.

This particular issue has more to do with the 60613 version PRl file, than the rom. My phone started switching to roaming more often when I updated the PRL. A day or so, before the update came out. Try reverting back to the 60612 PRl, or whatever you had installed prior to the ROM upgrade.

I had this problem with previous ROMs. I reflashed a bunch until it stopped finally. I think it took 3 times. I would HIGHLY recommend doing this. When I tried leaving it the way you have, Imissed VMs and texts a lot.

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 DWord 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 ...

Ok, so I have a question. I am in an area with poor Sprint service. Not sure how well roaming would work, but if you do this registry edit along with the other posted on here, your phone will STAY in roaming until you change it? How would this help? I know it seems like an easy answer, but basically what I am asking is if I do this, will I still use sprint when it's available or not? Curious if I should do this registry edit just because. Also, when you do the hack, how do you turn it off? Is it an option in phone settings again?

my problem with this new ROM is that Nav n Go IGO8 final no longer works. it will install and then go thru final configuration and hangs on the starting screen status on lower right just says starting and never goes all the way thru. one time it made it through but all the buttons were non responsive has anyone else tried this with any success...other than that google maps and live search works great and sees internal gps i have not yet tried other gps apps but IGO8 works fine with the stock 3.35

this hack puts the option for roaming only in the roaming menu. Which is accessed by going to the comm manager and selecting settings and then phone, then selection roaming and clicking get settings. when you put to phone into this setting it will only access roam networks and not sprint networks, the automatic setting in this menu should allow the phone to go to roam networks if a sprint network is not available.

I read in another thread someone stated if they accessed IGO8 from the astroGPSlauncher it would work with this rom but if they tried running it directly it froze as you described. Just relaying what someone else posted I personally don't use IGO so don't know for sure.

Is there an easy way to do this? I've flashed a trillion times, but I've never done anything with the PRL's.

Will these newer, better versions work on ROM 3.35.651.2?

My guess is yes, but I haven't tried them on it as I am now running this new ROM.
