YES YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY
First off, huge props to Bierce and Oostah for all the searching and then providing me the info on how we might be able to enter DIAG mode on your phone while on CM7. All I did was manage to get it to work, and taking a leap of faith by trying to change my prl while using CM7
Second, this isn't exactly for the faint of heart. QPST can really mess up your phone if you don't know what you're doing (read as: venture off and mess around with the program). Also, since I literally just did this this evening, there obviously hasn't been extensive testing with it. So "continue at your own risk".
Personally I haven't had issues with it and I've changed my PRL about 5 times to make sure it works. But still, it goes without saying: I'm not responsible if your phone gets FUBAR
I just want to mention that the first time I did it, I lost my Mobile Data connection (3g) and after a reboot it was stuck on 1x. After another reboot, it was back to normal. But I believe that it was because I tried a verizon PRL that drops my service to almost 0.
Yes, I know the status bars are 2 different colors. I have the Orion theme on my SDcard at the moment so it takes a little while to load up. But I assure you its the exact same CM7 rom and everything.

Something we never thought was possible...

What you'll need:

- Connect your phone to your PC
- Open 'Terminal Emulator' on your phone and enter the following:
Code:echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable
- Open QPST Configuration
- Select the "Ports" tab
- Click "Add New Port"

- Once all that is done, you can reboot your phone and enjoy the changed PRL without nandroiding, nand-restoring/flashing, etc. etc.
