Hi guys! Here's how you add roaming options to phone.apk. I forgot where I got this apk from, but I decided to dissect it and figure out how to do it to the new OTA. What I do remember, is that it came from Synergy, so thanks goes to TrevE and the whole Synergy team.
Step 1: Start off by decompiling Phone.apk with apktool, apk manager, or apk multi-tool.
Step 2: Navigate to res\values\arrays.xml and open it in Notepad++ or whatever editor you use.
Step 3: FIND:

Step 5: Navigate to com\android\phone\cdmaroaminglistpreference$myhandler.smali and open with your editor.
Step 6: FIND:
NOTE: You should only have to search for
, as the rest MAY not look like that.

Step 6: Navigate to com\android\phone\cdmaroaminglistpreference.smali and open with editor:
Step 7: FIND AROUND:
NOTE: There will be multiple occurences if this, but you should only need to find around ".line 84", which is the first occurence.
CHANGE:
INTO:
Step 8: Recompile Phone.apk and push to phone, chmod with 0644, or create flashable zip and flash in recovery.
For convenience, I've attached a flashable zip below. This is based on software version 2.17.651.5.
KNOWN ISSUES: "Roaming only" doesn't show up as "ticked" when you select it. However, it still works, and is only a minor cosmetic flaw.
