Custom roms? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Two questions
1) Are there anymore cellular south based hero roms besides Southpaw and DangerRom?
2) If I want to use a cyanogen or other Sprint based rom, is there anything in particular I should be concerned with, like data connection or phone service?

Also I'm on boost mobile unlimited/shrinkage, my incredible was flashed to boost mobile, I pay $50 monthly, but my account balance is at $38, not sure if that applies to me not getting my 3g, since I already paid my monthly payment.

Possibly radio related. Try flash a newer radio
Edit: BTW you got the wrong thread buddy
First off, this should be in Q&A forum. This is not a development question.
Did you do a *228/PRL update, or did you turn the phone off while it was in airplane mode? If so, your 3G won't come back unless you follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817487
Flash the first gingersense leak by rmk40. Should fix it

Your phone will not work on a Verizon ROM when its flashed to Boost.Boost is Sprint and will not work with the included radios etc that are for Verizon.I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain it won't work.

RADIOS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I'm on cricket wireless running newts runnymede 3.5 with the latest 07.07 radio. after you flash the rom you want, you will then have to flash it to boost. I have used every incredible radio with many different roms. So your gonna have to search on how to flash the phone back to boost or pay someone to do it
Are you guys sure? Everything else is working, mms,calls, etc its just my 3g
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible ADR6300 using XDA App
Did you use boost apns with apn backup and restore? With me on cricket my 3g always works its the mms I got to fight with. Was it originally a boost phone? Can you access epst, if so make sure its all set for boost sometimes when I flash a rom it changes my epst settings in the security tab and mip profile tab to vzw and I got to change them back

Question?

Ok. I want to know if I can flash mesermize roms to be able to bounce off that signa, support that modeml? Att is the only provider that doesn't have service at my house. If I port that rom will my phone take the new apn? More questions, is this even possible?

I don't think so. Have you tried different modems to see if you get better reception?

[Q] Why is Sprint so hard to make ROM's for?

I know it's CDMA and everything, but does that make a difference? And If it makes a huge difference and I'm just being stupid, please explain why? I want to flash ARHD to my One, but I can't since it doesn't work on Sprint!
It's not hard to make a rom for it but because of the hardware differences, it's impossible to make a cross flashable Rom for cdma and gsm.

Even for the One, which is the same across all carriers?

The One is the across all carriers, EXCEPT SPRINT. CDMA and GSM are completely different pieces of hardware, so one ROM cannot address both chips.

I was actually happy to leave CDMA carrier like Sprint and start using GSM phone which are more widely used and have far more development due to the fact they have the same hardware as their international counterparts

On of top that Sprint has such inconsistent and spotty service in many parts of the country. Some parts of the country Sprint compatible networks are all but absent.
There's a reason why Sprint subscribers can get such great price and package deals for their phones & data plans... Becausr they cannot hold onto customers who get lured in by the great deals, then as soon as they leave their comfortable metropolitan areas, they have zero signal in some random small town, where the average AT&T and Verizon customers have at least some phone service.

Using Aroma it is quite easy to do this. There were many ROMs in the EVO 3D forums that had one flash-able zip for GSM and CDMA phones. You just selected in Aroma. I believe Trick Droid for the One in the International forum is also like this.
And it is not harder to make ROMs for the Sprint version. It is just a matter of DEVs. There are more developers for the GSM version and some are more actively developing and therefore there are more ROMs available. Also they have a 4.2.2 kernel as is for their phone and there has not been one released for the Sprint version. Once there is a 4.2.2 Kernel available for the Sprint variant you'll see lots of movement.

Ahh, gotcha! Thanks!
Now I just get to sit here and wait for ARHD to work on Sprint. Maybe when 4.2.2 is released officially on Sprint, right? So then they can get the kernel?

I think once we get a SPrint 4.2.2 kernel/firmware there will be more crossover, mostly the difference in the the variants is at the kernel level.

I agree; I think people are waiting too. It's hard to invest a lot of time into developing a ROM when we'll get a 4.2 release "soon". Sometimes one can just diff to see what's different and incorporate the new features into an already made custom ROM (or vice versa), but it's easier and more stable to start over.

Now question. Since we have gsm capabilities. If we unlocked our devices in 90 days would we not be able to flash gsm roms?

Short answer is no.
I believe the Sprint phones are Hardware rev 0004 which means they would need a kernel for our specific hardware. It's mostly a kernel thing.

Question about CDMA and GSM One

Why is there such a huge difference between the Rom ability. I know it's a different network code but isn't the One able to run both anyways? Why are some roms GSM only. When I had my Photon nothing like that mattered.

Bump because seriously curious

As far as I know, almost all ones are the same, except for the sprint model. I believe the partitions are different on the sprint model, and flashing a ROM designed for anything else will not work.

question about roms

I have a Tab 7 (gt-p1000r , rogers 3g) that I cannot for the life of find a stock firmware to go back to, so I am wondering if anyone can tell me is there any roms that I can use that won't brick my device? (I am rooted and superuser is on)
I don't even care if I loose 3g functionality, as this is just a luxury, I only use at home
A at&t rom might work. Both are on the gsm network. I think you can rake a at&t phone into canada and it will work. This might work. Just look into it. The model for a at&t is sgh-i987.
Happy hunting.

Thank you kindly, I will look into it, as mentioned I don't even care if I keep the radio portion of it(texting via sim, I have a nexus 4 so I am ok)
The CM 10 version has full functionality, i've heard. CM 11 still has a few bugs, no mobile data. I'm not sure about kang roms, AOKP, they are similar to CM.
