I have an app on the market that forces roam. It requires root access, and it has not been tested on every phone/ROM yet, so please let me know if you encounter any issues.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.vuvuzela.roamcontrol
------------------------------------------------------------
I also have a mod to enable forced roam, however it has been difficult to get it to work with many ROMs. I'll be happy to help you out with any questions, although I don't understand why some apks recompile correctly and others do not.
I modded Phone.apk to enable forced roaming. I have a couple of apks attached, but Fresh 2.3.3 is the only one that I've tested. It sounds like people are having mixed success with the DC version, and the EVO version doesn't work.
Lots of credit to incognito03:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7603#c24
Rename the attached file to "Phone.apk" and push it to /system/app. Not sure if a reboot is required. Remember, always do a nandroid backup when trying something new!
If you want to use this with a different ROM, you should decompile/modify/recompile/sign the apk from the ROM you are using. I attached a diff report for the files I modified so you can see the changes. See my post for instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7625035#post7625035
In the code diff, 0x2 is for "Automatic", and 0x4 is for "Sprint only". There is also code for 0x3 (I'm not sure what this is, EVDO only perhaps? As far as I can tell, it's not used), which I changed to 0x1 for "Roam only".
Let me know if you find any issues. The only thing I've noticed is after enabling, when you go back to change the setting again, it doesn't remember/highlight the "roam only" option like it would for the other settings...seems purely cosmetic.
Could you please enumerate the advantages and useful applications of being able to force roaming?
It would be awesome to have this ported to the moment, what would it take for that to happen?

At my office, I get a terrible Sprint signal but a great Verizon signal. When on automatic, the phone is constantly searching for towers and switching between Sprint and Verizon. The phone is incredibly unreliable (almost unusable), and the battery drains rather quickly. Now when I'm at work, I can just force it to roam and everything is peachy.
Forced roaming is available on winmo phones, and it was the one reason I was hesitant to switch to android.
Wow, well congrats on successfully taking matters into your own hands!
Could you post a screenshot of what it looks like? Just a screenshot of the settings page would be nice.
thats a cool apk
but why not just switch PRLs since you get better Verizon at your work?
I do that at my job or whenever i leave town and its fine dont gotta roam

I tried that but got mixed results. My phone would stop being very responsive and my speeds weren't that great. This is a bit quicker for me since I plan on forcing roam 5 days a week.
AWESOME!
THis is what I've been needing TOO. MrGREG thanks for sharing. Unfortunately when I tried it on CM6 it just closed down all cell reception. When I tried to go to settings it said Phone.apk had FC'ed. Is there anyway to get this running on CM6? I am in the same situation as you are and Being able to ROAM would Help Tremendously.

I've only tested my version with Fresh (since it was based off Fresh). I probably wouldn't try it with other ROMs. Doesn't the latest build of CM6 have force roaming built in?
Failed to copy
When trying to push Phone.apk to /system/app I get the message... "failed to copy 'Phone.apk' to '/system/app/Phone.apk': Read-only file system"
How do I get around this?
Thanks

Be sure to enter the command adb remount before you try to push to your phone.

It does have it builtin, but it forces the data connection to 1x...

My mod does the same thing. Sprint has an agreement with Verizon to roam with 1x, not EVDO. I believe the PRL hack (mentioned earlier in this thread) will allow you to roam with EVDO, but I never had much luck with that.

Unfortunately I don't think I can take the time to port the changes. You (or someone) would have to decompile your Phone.apk (using Apk Manager, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701) and see if the changes I made (see attachment on my first post) apply to the Moment.
Just had to say that this is awesome, thanks !
FINALLLLY THANK YOU i have no service in my room and i used to use windows where i could switch it at anytime i actually had this phone for 3 months before i used it because of this problem
spoke to soon lol tried on stock rom didnt replace phone.apk just added another i tried deleting the old but now i just get no service will play around with it probly just user error on my part
PRL Hack, U say?
For now 1x roaming is fine for me. And so I will use CM6's forced roam. But this PRL hack sounds intriguing. I'll Search the forum for it. Still I'm glad U got it working for you. Thanks for all the help.
eh no luck just nandroided back
this is the stock phone.apk and phone.odex if you could go in to more detail on what i have to do to change this file id really appreciate it thanks
Just in case anyone needs it
This is a guide based off my experiences on how to get everything working properly on boost mobile. This is not my work nor do i take credit for it i was helped by many. im just putting it together in one place for every one that needs it. Oh and i seen all over craigslist and ebay that they sell guides on how to do this everyone that learns from here please do not try to sell this instead help out who ever needs it just like you needed it.
1) You need to have a boost CDMA account active
* CDMA, yes boost has CDMA just like sprint. ** CDMA not IDEN in other words no walkie talkie.
1.5) if you have a walkie talkie account just call boost Customer service (C.S.) and tell the rep you want to transfer your account to the cdma side
2) Call boost mobile C.S. and tell them you want to swap phones on your account for whatever reason you can make up i.e. phone broke or fell on water. Just tell them its a red phone or something and it works
3) Do not tell them that your new phone is a sprint phone they will tell you cant do it not possible. Dont get worried it will work
4) They will ask you for the phones info give it to them (if they ask u if its a sprint phone deny it all the way) then they will tell you what numbers to punch in follow that exactly the way they say.
5. Once it is done wait a few while the phone gets completely activated on their system. At first text messages might not work and data as well. just give it till the end of that day it should work but if it doesn just wait a little bit.
6. Then make sure you carrier provisioned it make sure to select Sprint.
7. Run the Sprint prl update to make sure you get data working.
** Now for the big one everyone has been having problems with MMS**
Never mind i forgot how to do that one sorry . LOL
8. On a custom rom (i use Mighty rom FF) install the Sprint Arcsoft MMS 5.0.82.79 cab that i atached at the bottom and do exactly like this
*Install the cab to your phones memory
*Soft reset
*Go to Messages
*All messages
*Menu
* MMS options or Pics/Video Options
*Servers
* Click on NEW
*Server Name = put whatever name you want
*Gateway = leave blank
*Port number leave at 80
*Server address: http://mm.myboostmobile.com
*Connect via: Sprint
*Send limit= leave at 500K
*Press done
* Under setting select the name you created and then click on Set as default
* Exit out and soft reset just to be on the safe side then your should be able to send/receive MMS
9) You should have everything working correctly from here its back to customizing however you feel like.
I added the soft reset cab also just to make it easier just install it doesnt matter either your phones memory or sdcard and look for the icon in the start menu press it and it will soft reset
Oh and foreveryone that bought the phone "flashed to boost mobile" there isnt such thing they just did as stated above. There is no flashing to boost and there isnt a boost mobile rom.
If i forgot something let me know ill add it to here or maybe someone else will. If you have any either question just ask.
Wow!! What a simple method this is. So many "third-party" cell phone shops are charging as much as $75 to $100 to "flash" these phones to boost. That's insane. Thanks!!!
Glad you liked it. If you really like it then how about hitting the thanks button instead of just saying it.
Also if you feel like your missing something by not paying i can help you with that too ill send you a paypal link.LOL
I take it back, it's not that simple. Tried many many times and I guess things are more enforced since then. Ended up paying but was WELL worth every penny. I'm loving the phone now. No thanks to this

TP2 on Boost working great so far!
Using the instructions above, I just migrated my Iden Boost account to CDMA on my TP2! The Boost rep said that since I didn't say which phone I had, she couldn't tell me that it couldn't be activated. She said if I had said I wanted to switch to the HTC TP2, then she would have been obligated to tell me it could not be done. I have been receiving SMS and MMS with no problems. The Internet works fine too! Thanks for the info! I am glad I did not pay someone a crazy amount for these relatively simple instructions!

What issue are you talking about. From what i have read no one here stating they have a problem with their internet.
Read the guide again and look at step #7 if you still dont get it let me know.
**If i helped you in any way hit the thanks button**
Can I get some help? My TP2 has been working flawlessly on Boost since I followed your instructions. All of a sudden, today, whenever I try to use the internet or Titanium Weather, I get a message saying that "Your plan does not include wireless web or your balance is not suficient to cover the wireless web charge". I have been using the pay as you go plan and have plenty of money in my account. This problem just started today. Has Boost changed something? Or do you have any tips?

Ok I have been working on my phone for two days now and no luck so I need some help, I use to have a blackberry with the walkie talkie that I programed to run on boost but had problems getting my text like 2 days later so I decide to switch over to the HTC TP2 so I called boost switched my number to there cdma side and did what they told me to get it connected. Now Im using the same sims card that was in the BB phone not sure if that makes any difference. I can call out and receive calls but I dont have data or text. I have tried different roms, mighty, and mighty ff, now im trying engery now, and I like the looks of it so I will stay with it. OK I have tried installing the cab files that you have posted up, Im sure Im just doing something wrong but I extracted the files to the phone but I dont see any changes and I never get to the text option screens that you say to change. Could you please help me out Im about to the point of going back to the cans with strings attached phones. Thanks
Adding this note now getting " dialed #777 cannot connect" I have tried a hard rest but still not connecting.

how long has it been since you did the switch to tp2?
Just this past weekend, I now can text but no mms nor data. I cant get the Sprint Arcsoft MMS 5.0.82.79 cab installed, I have Arcsoft 5.27.34 now but cant add any new servers.
unlock first??
Probably a dumb question here, but does the phone need to be unlocked before hand? Your instructions don't mention it so I wanted to be sure.
Thanks!

Phone does not need to be unlocked if your gonna be running a stock rom. If your gonna be using a custom then you need to have unlocked so you can install the custom rom then install the acrosoft for custom rom. Hopes this answered your question

Your welcome
im on a blackberry plan right now, couldnt i just call them and switch to the 50/month plan and then update my phone on the website by entering in the ESN# from the touch pro 2. i have no idea what to say if im asked what the phone model is.
if your on the blackberry plan most likely your gonna have to do both changes at the same time ( your plan & phone).
Also in re: to what phone to tell them that you have thats already answered in the guide in the first post of this thread.
If the website is allowing to update ESN# changes then you might be able to do both there without having to call
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/quick-guide-enabling-hidden-features-t3087506
I have tried to make the edits the OP of the above thread illustrated but for the life of me I can't get any of them to work. Just curious if any of you guys have tried it and got it to work?
FYI the "hidden features" include things like Call Recording, Camera Sound Toggle, Removal of NFC icon and a few other things.
Didn't work for me either..
Only thing that kinda worked was the camera shutter sound can be gotten rid of by turning the ringtone or media volume off before starting the camera..
If you go into System-Media-Ui you can delete all the annoying boot sounds and camera shutter noise
So after messing with this stuff for hours i finally figured it out.
The guide tells you to alter system/csc/others.xml
however in my trials nothing would work - so i did my thing and found out at least on the sprint variant here you have to put the edits into this file --> system/csc/feature.xml once i did the edits to that file and rebooted everything works now, so try that out and let me know how it worked out for you guys
Ah, excellent detective work there. When I have a chance I'll check that out!
EDIT: I followed your instructions and I still couldn't get those features to work. I have no idea what I'm missing.
Where do you find the Wi-Fi Calling after you enabled it? Can you upload your FEATURE.XML file for me so I can compare it to mine? I must be missing something

I think the wifi caling option is in the phone app but i could be wrong sonce i dont use that feature. The only other thing i did was put my new code in the middle of the featre.xml instead of at the end and i made a new section that i named custom edits. From something i read somewhere u have to make sure your edits are before the very last few lines that say </feature> and </Samsung>

Yes you do need root, we are modifying a system file here. With sprints spark you can only get data and voice if your connected to wifi, or you are on a voip call which uses data so then its all the same. No other way around it.

OK so even with root I can't get voice and data without Wi-Fi?
Well, Over the last few days I've seen more and more reports of "no service" and "unknown" service issues. Where you cant make or recieve calls, or text,and you are only getting data on lte.
" This will work to manual program a vzw phone also if you choose the one that has VZW.only in its name"
The LG LS997 V20 seems to have lost the ability to edit your PTN and MSID under ##786# method, and ive verified they also removed
##6DigitMSL# code. This eliminated the usual route to manually program your phone and get talk and text back without the network sending a update.
Heres the fix
Download Shortcut Master Lite From the playstore
Link here :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
and once downloaded you need to go to the search option and search
iot.cdmasettings
Then you need to click Launch on that one you searched..
Click:
CDMA PREFERENCES
Then:
NAM settings
Then Enter these things
MDN = Your Phone number
HOME SID = 4139
MCC = 310
MNC = 00
MIN2 = YOUR AREA CODE
MIN1 = MSID ( need to get from sprint or sprint.com chat ask for msid )
IMSI_MCC - 310
IMSI_MNC = 00
S2 = 000
S1 = 0001370
then back out and let it reboot,
for some this is a soft fix, for some this may be all you needed- it dosn't address the full issue, but this will at-least get you started to recovery.
Confirmed this worked on my LS997. Awesome Dev took several hours out of his day to troubleshoot this and get a fix.
screenshots added ++++ sorry text is small, i had to remove my personal info from the photos. Just use photos as reference for the text in op!
Hope this helps a few out, im still working on finding a 100% resolution to why this even came out as a issue. I'm almost certain your modem is NOT the issue, but a issue with provisioning and the way your phone is getting updated/or received a bad update
please continue to provide feedback and info related to when this 1st happens so i can figure out the main source.

Def worth the time man. You made it 10x easier being direct and following the info to the T.
EXACTLY what needed to be done for a positive resolution!
:good:
you can also go to the same place by searching msl.
and clicking the bottom one of the 2 that show up, click edit, and put in your ptn click okay the the full msid then okay. once done you need to reboot.
I don't think I'm having any issues other than I seem to experience more areas where I lose service than I did before I rooted.
When I searched for iot.cdmasettings - nothing came up.
I then searched for cdmasettings and again nothing came up.
I then searched for iot and a bunch of stuff came up. I noticed the 2nd. item from the top had iot/cdmasettings so I clicked that one.
My S1 is 0000375
I wonder if MSID is the same as MSL?
The link to the app above didn't work for me.

The rom I am running is 5.0 or F I think I have seen it referred as. Not sure if it's yours but if it is - Thank You very much for all you have done for us poor left out sprint users. I downloaded a newer version (6.0) but not sure if I want to install it or if I'll gain anything.

i would clean install version 6.5 phh
the majority of us are running it now.
Its stable and soild, and will pass safetynet,
im unsure why you dont have the hidden menu stuff, 6.5 phh should.
update to that and see if its any better.
we may need to get people to backup their radio and see what ones work better.
im on the oldest radio
I made a mistake. I was going to install F but ended up going with J.
6.5 PHH is all downloaded. I'll give it a try.
Thank You very much.
Can u check which version has the stuff to manually program 6.5 phh when i search and find iot.cdmasetting and hit launch in shortcut master it does nothing...
Edit
Nevermind the 6.5 isn't rooted to begin with...I had
A 6.01 back up that works fine

? both 6.5 versions have root, you must be dirty flashing or doing something else.
2 versions of 6.5 bud.
phh root witch is built into magisk,
and supersu root witch is a seperate app.
5.5 and 6.5 both are exactly the same, minus using magisk manager.
I didn't download phh app but it wouldn't request root on 6.5 so I just used a back up

Didn't need any apps. Its built into magisk for root.
Thats the build im using as my daily. Root takes a min to setup as the 1st 15min after boot its still optimizing and doing commands.
Im 100% sure the no calls and text bug comes from using a aosp rom and changing nv info. Knocked me off service all day and didnt know.
Lost my ptn and my msid
Also got hit with a error code 16 and had to speak to the networks solution dept.
Maybe a tad bit more help...
I followed every step the only issue I've noticed is I can now make calls but only when I turn roaming on. If I just connect to the sprint network I get data but it says mobile network unavailable when trying to make a call. Any ideas?

I have PRL 162. It's odd because I only receive calls and can make them if set to roaming. If I'm set to roaming to make calls I can't update PRL only when connected to just LTE

Thats why, try a update prl and see if it changes. Do it on wifi if it dosnt work try on lte/3g
162 is not a sprint prl
you need PRL 54022 or 54xxx
any version really 54 whatever will work.
if prl update wont change it the only other idea would be
##diag# put into diag mode and use a tool like cdma workshop or similar to push the prl to your phone.
[email protected] is my hangouts email. We can speak more about this but talking about NV items and the tools that work with them
is a grey area on xda. I can not share my version of cdma workshop as its a paid for version linked only to my pc. There are free versions and tutorials out there on how to connect to a phone in diag mode and use cdma workshop or any other es tool to do the prl push

Thank you
I just got the NA version of the ROG Phone 5 and sadly I cannot get VoWiFi working on TMobile. Sadly I'm in an area where I don't get the best signal and it's extremely important for this feature to work. Especially considering I spent 1k+ for this phone... Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
Have you enabled it in settings and then tried a reboot?
I've also noticed that it may not work until the SIM is installed BEFORE initial setup (or before a factory reset)
I confirmed with other people too. US version doesnt have Tmobile wifi. If it would, I would have bought one

Yeah I tried that but didnt work so i manually enabled it using the phone dialer and after i toggle it on or off it will turn on but it turns off after reboot so need to root it so i can make the settings stick.

It actually does work
My AT&T and T-Mobile SIMs (both Red Pocket MVNO) have VoLTE but not VoWiFi.

So do you get wifi calling with US ROG phone on Tmobile?

Yup just have to manually enable it Everytime it boots up but if you root it you can set the props and it will be permanent. In the process of doing that atm.

Sure here you go *#*#3642623344#*#*
You should be able to copy and paste if that doesn't work try pasting but delete the last * and add it manually. If that still doesn't work just manually type it in. But I tested it out a few times nd it works even turned on airplane mode and it works. Wi-fi calling was a deciding factor for me lol was about to return it until I found out I could get it to work properly.

I'd like to add that after running the dialing code you have to enable wifi calling in the settings app.
Aswell as that, at least for me, I need to disable and re-enable it within settings after re-running the dial after reboot, for it to actually reconnect
Just to avoid any confusion.
This does work tho! Kva is right!

It's so stupid wish they enabled it by default would make all our lives easier

I agree, but idk if they need some authorization from T-Mobile to enable it by default and we're just the end user working around that.
Otherwise, I'm not really sure at all why the functionality is developed but not enabled by default.

Yeah it's stupid I ended up talking to advanced tech support and the guy has never heard of ROG phone 5 and said I should return it cuz it seems like it's a hardware issue.... I'm like dude it's your system not giving me proper access's and authorizing my phone... He's like I guess you know more about phones than I do... The idiot even made me reset my phone to try and fix it even though I told him several times that has nothing to do with it.... I swear I have no idea how some of these morons get jobs as IT... At least have basic IT understanding....
They're not in IT. They're customer service reps. They read from a script.
Check out the movie The Internship. It's just like that.

Well, when I'm talking to the advanced Technical team I am not talking to customer service reps... I talked to a customer service rep and they forwarded me to the IT team. Considering they are called advanced technical teams I would assume they are in IT. whereas the initial person I talked to was and clearly stated she was a customer service rep.
The only difference between the two people you spoke with is that one had access and authorization to suggest more "advanced" solutions. I'm not saying they shouldn't have better training, but legitimate IT professionals rarely work the call center as more than a summer job.
Anyway, the point was that they're a waste of time unless the issue is the SIM card or your plan. It's unfortunate.
Dial codes typically trigger an intent. If you can track down the intent, you can have it launch automatically on boot. Once that's taken care of, it shouldn't be too hard to automatically enable the setting. That is assuming you called because setting the prop didn't work.
Another alternative if you do have a property and can't write to system is setting it with a magisk module, since the system is read only on a firmware level.

How would I set that up using magisk module? One Issue I have noticed is the wifi calling turns itself off after a while. sometimes it works for several hours other times maybe a day but then turns off and I have to restart the phone and run the command again.
