Roam Only Hack

Looking over in the HERO forum someone has found out away to modify the phone.apk to include a roam only option. Wondering if this was possible for the evo as well. I tried using the apktool but the files do not match.
Heres the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745092

I'm sure it's possible. If I remember correctly when I was using CyanogenMod Nightlies, there was an option for this (it wasn't call roam only but im sure thats what it did).

Yeah this is where all of this started.... Now someone has ported it to the hero and I would really like to see if this is possible for the hero.

Why would you want to force Roam only?

I know I would. I used to do it on my Pre while I was at work.. I work in radio and in the lower level of our building in production studios all day and my signal is very weak. Forcing the phone into roam helped me have better battery life, and a more stable phone if I got a call or something.
Roam only on the Evo would be very nice!

This is the same reason why I need it..... I used it on my pre all the time as well when at work and in other areas where coverage was very spotty

I have the phone.apk (from Fresh 3.1.01) decompiled and I have made the noted changes from the original Hero thread and I'm ready to test, but I'm having fits on compileing the apk to sign and test. Can someone else try, the modifications are simple to edit.

I am not running Fresh.... Wish I knew a little more about programing. I tried the apktool mentioned in the post but the rom I use has a different dialer setup than fresh's. I wonder if he would be willing to help.

I would love to have this option in a widget, shortcut, or some other method that makes it easy to toggle on and off. There were registry edits on my old HTC WinMo phones to enable this.
I have very good Sprint coverage most of the time but every once in a while I'm somewhere Verizon has better coverage. I've seen my phone hold onto Sprint with one or even no bars, and only switch to Verizon every once in a while and get full bars. This kills the battery and of course service.

Could someone post the original stock 2.2 phone.apk (unthemed). I think that the themeing on the dialer is what is causing my issues with rebuilding the .apk. This could cause issues with the htc framework used, just my .02. We should be able to port this over.

I modded the apk for Fresh 3.1.0.1, try it out and let me know if it works:

I think it was called "Affiliated Networks", but I'm stuck on "Roam only" from the winmo days

Unfortunately I keep getting FC's after moving this one over the old one. Rebooted the phone and still no luck. I feel like something is different with the framework or something. Could theme changes (Rosie) in this ROM be the issue? What did you do to rebuild the apk. I worked a few hrs after I moded it from your instructions trying to rebuild using APKmanger. I greatly appreciate your efforts. Trial and error, we'll get there with the EVO!!! Thanks!

I would love this app also
please

I understand the purpose of roam only but we get charged for roaming? Am I missing something here?

U dont get charged for roaming it just comes out of your anytime minutes if you do not have an unlimited plan. If u have unlimited then it costs nothing
Any one have any progress to report on this

One thing that may work: load CM6, set it to affiliated networks, then restore back to your previous ROM.
It may not work, but I know on my N1, if I would set it to WCDMA only to prevent the 3G dropping to EDGE, then that would stay sticky over flashes & wipes etc.
The settings are stored in the radio, so I think setting it to roam only should stick.

Sprint doesn't charge for domestic voice or data roaming. They reserve the right to cancel your account if you roam for more than half your minutes or a specific amount of data (I can't remember how much), so it's not the kind of thing you'd leave on all the time. But there are situations where it would be beneficial to force roaming for a short period of time.

i'd def be interested in this. im using fresh.

I apologize if I put it in the wrong forum, but I didn't think that editing the build.prop file or regulating 4G speeds that AT&T hasn't "given" us access to yet was a general question.
Aside from that, is it possible?

Well no offense to anyone, but changing the build.prop of any phone to alter the dynamics of how to phone runs or behaves sounds like development to me...
Can it be done? Do you know how exactly it's done on the inspire?

Your missing what the dev section is for.
If someone had a custom Build.prop they wanted to share, that is a Dev post. Asking a question about development is not.

no, from what I've been tinkering with in the test settings (accessed with *#0011#) and pressing menu, back, selecting "network control", then "hspa cat control", I'm able to get better speeds on CAT 10 than CAT 14, but other's speeds may vary. (I know I'm a heavy user that uses over 15 to 20 GB per month too, so it may just be going through a CAT that I'm not throttled on too.... )
But with all above, I agree that this should be in General....

the inspire has hsupa disabled foe the att version with a line in build.prop. hsupa has been disabled on all att phone cept the iphone and the infuse. tere have been different meathods to disable it but is irrelevant because the infuse has it enabled. ther may be other settings to change but not to get even better speeds but I don't think it will be in build.prop or yield the same results.

wow i started messing with the diffrent CAT settings on my infuse and now i have gotten up to 5250 down on my speed test! before the most ive gotten was low 3000's. a friend of mine has a infuse 4g also but he has gotten up to 10,000 down! he usually averages 7-8k on speed tests. WHY????? he has had his phone since it came out i think.

Someone needs to build a CAT setting tester/optimizer!

So i just followed what you said and the first screen that comes up, the general service mode screen says im running on 3g even though up in my task bar it shows the H+ symbol. Has my infuse been lying to me this whole time?

No, AT&T has. HSPA+ is still 3G, even though AT&T calls it 4g. They may re-brand all the user-facing stuff to say 4G, but the phone's technical information that you aren't supposed to see will refer to it by its technical term, 3G.

if its not LTE , its not 4g Sorry to burst your bubble. I truely miss Tmobile when it comes to data. I would get around 6megs down all the time on "3g". I dont even get 3 most times with at&t and the upload is such horrible ****.

LTE isn't 4G either, if you want to lump HSPA+ into ' it's not 4G' category. LTE currently offers nothing remotely close to the original ITU specs.

I typically get 3-4 Mbps at work/home. Last week I was about 4 miles away, got 8.9Mbps. Another day I was about 5 miles further, got 5.5 Mbps. Depends on which tower you're on.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. I switched the CAT and got improvement at my office... Now just to check at home.
I almost feel like my Captivate was faster somehow....

Returning Skyrocket - My Review

After using the phone for about a week I have decided to take it back and get an iPhone 4S. I upgraded from an iPhone 4 to the Skyrocket. Here are my rambling thoughts on Android and the phone:
1) Battery is terrible - doesn't last a full day with light use.
2) Screen is ok - but there is a really bad blue tint and the resolution isn't great.
3) I don't like how loose the OS feels - with iOS everything feels tighter and more integrated. I find myself searching all over these random menus everywhere in Android looking to do something simple.
4) LTE is great - but I don't have it in my house in Fort Worth and the internet is far worse on this phone at my desk at work than my iPhone was. It is also very hit or miss. You can get 50mb download and then drive half a mile and get 3mb download.
5) The phone doesn't work that great with the Sync system in my Ford truck.
6) SMS messages don't seem to come in as quick as my iPhone. Friends texts are showing up hours after they send them.
7) I don't like how you have to hit the side button to bring up the lock screen to unlock the phone.
8) Camera is crap compared to iPhone.
9) iOS does multi-tasking better - I find myself killing aps manually all the time.
10) No one click silence.
11) Hate how many click it takes to call someone - with iPhone I have my favorites set and I just click their name and it calls them - with this I have to click their name then click their phone number to call.
12) Visual voicemail not integrated into phone ap.
13) Bloatware is crap - and the roms seem really buggy.

alot of these are you just being lazy.......no offense.
you can set up the phone anyway you want.

Ios is a simple os for simple people. Thats fine android was to much forbyou to handle. With android you can do what ever you want. Ios is nothing more then a glorified app launcher. Very tight as u say .... yes tight as in u really.cant do much with it. I am happy to say i do not even need a computer because my smartphone can do anything a pc can. But thanks for the useless post. Enjoy being a fanboy lol. With your small display slow data speeds, and very limited capabilities

And I would say not lazy - if there is an easier, more simple way to do things, then why is that lazy?
Also - let's take away my issues with Android. The hardware issues are still enough to make me return the phone. The blue screen/terrible battery/very hit or miss LTE/"4g" signal (and little or no internet at my desk at work compared to solid Edge on iPhone)/SMS-MMS issues.

Good luck with that.. Iphone is crap... have fun with that sweet 3 inch screen.. I have NONE on the issues you spoke of... I get 15 hours or more out of my battery.
I had a iphone.. its sucks.. No custom stuff.. You will be sorry you traded down.. The sr is far superior to the Iphone.. do some research..

I'm still on my Infuse and saw this and thought it was hilarious. I absolutely love when people try and compare an iPhone with the latest Android phones. I honestly think a lot of you guys come here simply to bash Android based phones. But that's ok, enjoy your simple iOS since you can't handle Android.

I got 50MB once driving through Southlake. I am averaging about 20MB out and about.
Inside my house - no LTE - only 3 bars of 4G.
At my work - no LTE - no 4G - 2 bars of Edge (with iPhone I get 4 bars of Edge).
In my driveway - 3MB download on 1-2 bars LTE - this is in Fort Worth.
So the places I frequent - the LTE speeds are nonexistent.

I get consistant 40 -60 on lte. And 6-12 on h+ everywhere i go and i live in a country area

If I got that, I would probably not be returning the phone - but LTE just isn't ready in my area I guess. Maybe AT&T will get the Galaxy Nexus eventually.

Any short cut a iphone has, android can do. I hate having to click the app on the iphone when i have a clander widget bigger than ur phone lol. U can also mute from most lockscreens. I even have 4 shortcuts on mine. Also, if u dont like the screen, just get a different android with a different screen lol. I dont think u can say that with ios. I also love how ios user pretend u dont have a settings menu lol.

1. It should EASILY last a day on light use, my Vivid does, and it has a smaller battery then the Skyrocket.
2. Get a replacement, probably just a fluke, and with SAMOLED+, you really don't notice pixels.
3. iOS is integrated with Apple, and Android is integrated with Google, and we know which company is better there.
4. AT&T hasn't switched all their towers to LTE yet, give them a little while. Also, I'd like to see you get 40-60 down on 3G.
5. Isn't the sync system designed for iOS? Yeah, that's probably why.
6. Must have bad signal, I receive texts faster on my Vivid then ANY phone I've seen so far.
7. Get used to it, Samsung doesn't want to become HTC.
8. The viewer on iOS is modified to make the images seem a LOT better then they actually are, compare them in the same light settings on the computer, and the skyrocket will COMPLETELY outshine your iPhail.
9. LOL? iOS doesn't have multi-tasking, it caches the app for about 2-3 minutes, then keeps just the data in the RAM. That's not true multi-tasking, true multi-tasking keeps the app running... in REAL TIME! Also, free RAM is wasted RAM.
10. Hold the volume down button.
11. Your on TW, find the contact, and slide to the right, it auto-calls.
12. Is it on iOS? Can't say anything about that, since I really have no clue.
13. L2Root, and this phone is picking up on development, I wonder how the ROM's are on the iP- Oh wait.... yeah.

It is the same story every time. If an iPhone user does not give android a fair shot and take time to learn and understand it they will gripe complain return....every single time
Android is not apple plain and simple. For those that prefer the simplicity of all that is "I" by all means flock that way. But to desperately pick apart a new network and a proven OS is just lame.
Now...if one has a true want to learn ask away. LTE is up and coming in DFW. In the last week I went from having no coverage indoors at home and work.to getting LTE at both. As for inconsistent speeds..from what I can tell distance from tower is the determining factor here. this is no different with 3g or for any other carried for that matter. I can litterally test every 10 seconds while driving hwy 75 and give you the vicinity of each tower along a 20 mile stretch based on speeds.
So yeah...you have a choice..make it but jeebus don't put the blame on good hardware, and a new network in place of what's comfortable/easy/simple for you. At least focus on the truth

Use the radio that works best in your area. If you don't know which one that is, you will need to try some out to find out. Make sure you flash the matching ril with each radio.
The following link is a video showing flip animation. If you don't want it, don't flash the battery mod with it. Altough, you could also disable animations in settings, and it would be inactive.

As for the radio...
This morning I did a speed test in my hometown and got 4.7 Mb/3.5 Mb..
That's unusually quick for my area but is it safe to say I don't need to change anything? Typically id get 2 Mb/ 0.9 Mb..
Also my CBD has 4g which is just rolling out now... Will my phone utilise the 4 g network? If so how will I know other than speed test? As I've done speed test in the city and get similar to above results.

That's unusually quick for my area but is it safe to say I don't need to change anything? Typically id get 2 Mb/ 0.9 Mb..
Also my CBD has 4g which is just rolling out now... Will my phone utilise the 4 g network? If so how will I know other than speed test? As I've done speed test in the city and get similar to above results.

No thats LTE i'm on AT&T and while they call it 4G, It's really 3g 2.0

I'm from Australia and my.carrier is telstra. It's funny cos my home is not in the 4g coverage map.. I don't ususally get 8 mb but ill do another test and see what I get. From what I read our 4g uses a band width of 1800MHz....
Will this Rom enable my inspire to make the most of 4g capabilities?

How stable overclock to 1536 MHz? It might better be limited to ~ 1200 MHz? I fear for the processor in my device, suddenly it fry my ears

Any themes for this Rom that I can use

You can under clock with SYS. Tune / Set cpu, and adjust to your liking.
Only you will most likely have to adjust every time after boot.

I think you'll need to use the APN' configuration for your carrier's region. This Rom is setup pacifically for the U.S..

I hope this isn't a silly question...
Will the overclocking have any negative repercussions?
I have checked out the temperature using SetCPU and it usually is 75° even while charging.. I got it to go up to 82° once though while playing a graphics intense game... SO not too worried
Also noticed that it under-clocks while not in direct-use? Which makes me less worried!!
Worse-case I fry the CPU and go get a Vivid, right? HAHAHA
LOVE THE ROM!!!

True it is set high, but i use system tune pro to keep it lower. You will have to set it every time you reboot.

Fix for 3G/H bouncing on TmoUS

Since I first got my HTC One S it has been bouncing between 3G and H data connections every 30 seconds, causing interruptions to streaming, web browsing, and being a real pain to try and use. Even after upgrading to the TmoUS 1.84 radio I was still getting these data bounces and connection drops. But I've finally found a fix.
Fire up Root Explorer file browser
Go to /system, mount filesystem read/write
Make a copy of /system/build.prop named build.prop.bak
Open the /system/build.prop file in Root Explorer's text editor
Find and change the lines to
Code:
ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
Save and exit. Reboot the phone.
Now when I start actively using the data connection it'll go from 3G to H and stay there without immediately dropping back to 3G and causing a data interruption. If I'm not using data it'll eventually drop back to 3G to save battery.

Anyone else? Does this work?

I'll report back once I root later

For me, in Israel with a carrier which doesn't support the Fast-Dormancy feature, the change of those 2 lines did the trick!
Actually, the 2nd line was already there in my Build.Prop file but the 1st one was the saver!!!

does this waste data/battery?

might be battery is less saved but it makes your phone work!
As for the data, there is no change, or maybe there is but for better...

Thanks !!
This fix seems to have worked on my One S running MIUI v4 Have been recieving download speeds in the region of 1.5Mb/s

I do not see those two lines to change the value

For me, the power collapse was already set and the fast dormancy rule seems to make it "stick" in 2g unless the 4g signal is really great...not exactly what I would like. One other thread had you put ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=#, but didn't explain what that # meant...anyone know?

Can you take a screenshot of where you see. I can't find it anywhere in my build.prop file. Thanks

as much as I know, in the file the # stand for comment start. Therefore, it should be the same as 0 in this case.
Yet, for me, it seems add if the 0 works better than the #.

fast dormacy switches between hspa and 3g, not 2g

It worked for me. Stays on H for the moste time but i can still see that the H switches the colors a lot (from Grey to ICS Blue), not sure what that means.

It means you are losing your connection to Google services. Open Gtalk when it is white and you will find your connections greyed out.

Final thought
While this build.prop change helped keep my phone from bouncing between 3G/H all the time I was still getting a lot of data stall (1000ms+ waits) between sending and receiving data.
Turns out T-Mobile didn't update my account with the new IMEI number of this phone. That was causing the data stalls. I contacted support and had them update the IMEI again and now data sends/receives with no delay.
