I flashed 56013 last night. Roam Control is working just fine, although I had to set my phone in the settings to a GS3
Running PAC 22.4.0, although I had to flash Force 2.2 to change the PRL, because I lost my stock nandroid accidentally formatting my sd

Never mind. Lied, it's not working it seems.

Doesn't work for me on cm10.1

Yeah it's not working... SUCKS! I've emailed the developer twice and got no response. He put an update out on 6/4 too. You'd think there would be more support for the phone thats pacing to be the most used phone in the world.

That's why I just use the VZW PRL. Can always take that route.

But you have to be running a TouchWiz rom correct?

From my understanding you can set the PRL through TW and it'll stick through ROM flashes.

Roam Control dev here, sorry for the slow support. I bought an S4 as a dev device and was able to force roam with the stock rom. I put out the app update (2.9.0) late that night and then had to head out of town the next morning.
If the app isn't working for you, can you please post what ROM you are using, and what happens when you try to force roam (signal disappears, stays on sprint, etc)? Thanks!

It doesn't actually work. At least on my phone it doesn't.

There's thread about this in general.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353439
On any rom it would roam but would be stuck roaming only. Each of us had to use the dialer code to re activate.

Ditto. Same problem for me

Hey mrgreag im hoping u can help I have a sprint gs4 and I am on sacs rom...I was having issue with roam control from the second I bought it. Not matter what I would do all the info would show as unknown and It would always say I was on sprint regardless of the prl. So recently I did a factory rest because sac came out with a version 5 of his rom and roam control started working. That was for about 2 weeks and now its doing the same thing where most ingo in nerwork status says unknown and I cant leave sprints network..please help.

[HELP!] Need GSM Radio for NS4G

I was trying to surprise my wife with a new ROM and I accidentally put the wrong one in and now there's no network service on her GSM Nexus S 4G! I'm trying for hours to get this to work before she wakes up tomorrow and realizes its not working for her meeting. Please if anyone can help...i'll be up all night.
I've tried everything from full wipe to restoring back to GRJ22 ROM/ Pushing the radio via fastboot keeps saying failed. Help please guys.
GSM nexus 4G?
Yes and it's by Samsung. I can't find a radio to flash anywhere. Can you help, please?
Is this on Sprint or AT&T?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
It is on ATT i've searched all over the forums and decided to just post just now.
please read what you are flashing. i dont know anything about the att version so i cant say for sure if the other radios work fine. but for one its not a 4g, so DONT use the 4g stuff. the only 4g version of the nexus s is on sprint.
you need a gsm radio, perhaps try flashing one from teh nexus s forums?
I will try that...are there any you could recommend...like a compilation list?
Anyways...thanks so much for the quick assist. I haven't gotten anything to work yet but i'm going to try to search around the NS section.
I haven't seen any att radios floating around anywhere.
I had similar problem ... thankfully I had backed up efs folder ... if u have try restoring it... and then reboot

If your EFS folder is deleted/invalid you're out of luck, no fix for that.
Besides that, there's no working 3G radio for a Sprint NxS 4G on AT&T, it's technically not possible.

Can send in to Samsung, they might recover it for you (although the identifaction number is non-existant), but double check w/ them first.
guys hes not looking for a sprint gsm radio on atts blah blah blah. he has the i9020a. its att's model, its just a slight mix up on the 4g part.
you may have not lost your efs folder. you may have only just flashed a cdma radio thinking that was your radio. try flashing one of these and see if it works again

First things first. Check your imei and make sure its the same as the one on the back or your phone under the battery. If it is your efs is fine.
After reading the replies to this I am a bit disappointed. Where did he say he even touched his efs and/or his imei was corrupt. All the OP said was he flashed a rom and he no longer has connection. That could be a lot of things.

That doesn't say that he wiped it at all. He's just assuming what you said was the actual problem. And said he didn't back them up. Where did he say his imei was screwed up and how did you begin to assume that was his problem? You should have asked the OP to check his imei before you told him there was no solution.

You seem like the person to ask with as much knowledge as you know about phones and all the work you've created; good grief. I am stuck with Sprint and cant leave until next year without paying ETF; long story short; get terrible service and have airave (only works half the time and have 3 replacements-sprint does not want to address to issue; and me being on a SERO account probably doesn't help either) but someone in a different thread mentioned about a sprint diagnostic tool that you can use to force your phone to Roam verizon towers and get the boot rather quickly from sprint; unfortunately he said it was only for samsung devices; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

Sprint will boot you and terminate the contract with no etf if you do it enough. Not that I would condone such a thing.
I didn't know if there was such a tool that could work for the evo shift that you knew of since you work with other devs and know A LOT about A LOT of stuff. I searched google a bit then headed over here of the forums, but couldnt find much in regards to it for my phone. thanks in advance

I came across this for the HTC EVO, not shift; but maaaybe http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?16026-On-The-Fly-PRL-Change-PRL-Changes-With-and-Without-a-PC

I thought the PRL would need to be changed to something different; I will give Roam Control a go and keep in Roaming...thanks
No you don't need to change your prl. Also, Several Shift ROMs like newSENSE Supreme Sense and StockMod have roam only as an option built in so you don't have to buy roam control if you don't want too.

Google Edition Rom for Sprint

I know we had a few threads going before about porting the GE Rom for Sprint and the only issue we had was that 3g data didn't work, I noticed a few of them are missing either deleted or something happened, Is there a new thread I am just missing and has there been any progress on the port?
Things I found that might help someone trying to port

Just be patient, keep reading, and help whenever you can. I'm sure things will get ironed out soon enough. The guys that know how to hack, are doing their best. Keep giving them a daily pat on the back and letting them know we appreciate their hard work. It will get better and more stable through time.
I noticed some folks over in the VZW GS4 forums managed to port a GE rom. I attempted to flash it but it wouldn't boot. Flashed rom , kernel and su. Even tried to flash without kernel just to see if it would boot but no dice. I also noticed in the thread that the rom had working tw apps, namely watchon, which makes me feel even more impatient to get ahold of it.
Angst911 pm'd me about a sprint version. It's uploading now for him to test and day whether it works like I think it will. If he approves it, I'll post it then.
I'm kind of surprised no one had already made one for sprint.

Stuff that was in the build.prop of the verzion one however not in the t-mobile one.
"
# Network Mode CDMA/EVDO/LTE auto
ro.telephony.default_network=8
# Restore delay of the default network - 30 mins (VZW)
android.telephony.apn-restore=1800000
# Restore delay of VZW Apps APN - 1 min (VZW)
vzw.telephony.appsapn-restore=60000
# Use CDMALTE Phone
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1
ro.com.google.clientidbase.ms=android-verizon
ro.com.google.clientidbase.am=android-verizon
ro.com.google.clientidbase.yt=android-verizon
"
Also after looking deeper the fact its a TW Base means we need to use CSC_SPRINT_CHAMELEON to get it working i believe..
The build.prop isn't the main reason that vzw got data.

But it was definitely a big chunk. Otherwise it wouldn't know that it was a CDMA phone and the right options wouldn't show up in Settings.
So you did some smali merges or added qmi libs, or both?

No if I had decompiled the framework and ui and did smali changes there wouldn't be the issues that it still has.
I just did a lot of copy and pasting. Ive been working on a fully functioning vzw port of ruj's blukuban(with permission) for a couple weeks. Through doing that I found how to do various work arounds to get things functioning but not perfect until you actually edit things correctly. I have everything decompiled, just a matter of digging through it.
Until I get a definitive list of everything from my project I hadn't planned on posting it...I don't want to lead people down a path that doesn't work. And I don't want to have to support those people's projects when my list doesn't work.

Nope, no setting. On a stock rom, that stays on by default. No way to toggle it. Have you installed a custom rom? Many devs remove that feature.
