Default Force Roam Cab

Does anyone know if the Touch Pro's force roam cab for the original touch pro will work on the touch pro 2? I'm new to win mob, been on my old treo 700p for the last 5 years... yikes.

I've tested the few cab files and the registry edits that worked on the TP and they activate the the "automatic b" "automatic" and "sprint" options but changing to any the options do not move me to another network's tower. Eeven though I'm getting 0 to 1 bar from the sprint tower, it stays. My old treo 700p (vzw) gets 5bars so I know there is a verizon tower close by. I'm not one of those people who will really ever use this except in extreme circumstances when traveling. I switched with the expectation the option was there.

I assume the roaming hack doesn't work for the TP2. The option to "find network" for CDMA stays grayed out so it can't be selected.

No worries here, Verizon automatically roams in-market over to US Celluar in the bad areas, in fact, that's true for all areas here in NorCal (as well as many in OR and WA) where both US Cellular and Verizon have service.

you can force roaming but the older cab wont work because of global. If you find directions for touch pro you set ItemValue3 to 5 instead of a 3

Has anyone ever made a cab for the TP2 that's as clean as the TP1 cab was? All it did was add a 3rd option "Roam Only". I've seen some new cabs that add That as well as an A and B option. Have no idea what that's even about or why that would not be necessary.

Unfortunately I'm not comfortable enough with editing the registry myself.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

(I am speaking of the Sprint TP2, to clarify)
