First of all thank you to DCD & No2chem and many others that have posted walkthroughs and help. My flashing went perfect with your help.

I'm having an issue after upgrading to the various 6.1 ROMS. When I go into a roaming area, I get a flashing triangle (roaming indicator). When I'm not roaming there is no indicator. My work pays the bill for my phone, so the home area is when I'm at work. I live like 30 mins away, so when I'm home I'm roaming. Worked like that before any ROM updates, but icon didn't flash, so it wasn't a problem. The flashing/blinking icon is very annoying and casues any other icon that comes up to the left of it to bounce back and forth as the indicator blinks.

Like I said before the flashing went perfect and have absolutly no other issues, Email, GPS, Internet, EVDO, all great. Did the *228 option 3 & 2 to setup and update roaming info.

I would like to know how to get it to stop blinking or just remove it completely. I don't pay the bill and don't get charged to ROAM so I don't care if it has to be totally removed. Reg edit would be fine, or even an app that removes or changes it.

I have searched here and ppcgeek's forums and google for days before asking.

My Setup:
Alltel ppc6800 with dcd 3.0.1, radio 3.35

PS: If any other Alltel folks have a question for me I would be happy to help. I have flashed to 2 different custom ROMS than back to original and then back to DCD's.

Wow, can't believe this post is a year old! Sounds like you might be on a fringe area, or Alltel's PRL has odd roaming display settings. Looks to me like Butcher, well, butchered this problem right away. Now that it's been awhile, you might also want to look into getting one of dcd's newer ROM's and a new radio. Should be able to find both either on DCD's file directory or here on XDA. Good luck and happy hacking!
