I swear I was on that rom yesterday and it didn't work. Ill give it a try. I know for sure I tried super nova, cm6, and quantum and all 3 didn't work. Btw I'm in aguadilla PR and my wifes EVO is working fine using the roam control here. Fyi if your coming to this part of PR roaming is a must to get the best 3g.

It was my understanding that at least with roam control on the epic, you can only get a 1x forced roam. Roam control only uses verizons towers. The best speed I get while using rc is 150kb down.

I just tested it working fine on mine, Quantum Rom 2.7 EXT4
Seriously folks, installing a ROM isn't all that different from something you do almost every day.

How to install a ROM - Wipe 3x and flash.
How to use the toilet - Wipe 3x and flush.

I used to use it. No, it isn't verizon only roam. My phone roams on to us cellular. To figure out what network you're on, dial a number that requires an area code without it and the message telling you that you misdialed will tell you the carrier.

When I press *2 to contact sprint customer service at my house it connects me to verizon customer service. You might wanna try the same to see what carrier your roaming with

Strange why I can't get this to work. Everytime I set it to roam only I just lose the connection completly. Anyone get this working on supernova rom?

I just got it on my stock DI18 rom and it works beautifully! Sprint sucks in my area (I'm lucky to get 1 bar and dl speeds at dial up speed), but now I'm listening to pandora and browsing xda! I love this app!
