You're using an Epic 4G Touch. It is a confirmed infected device.

Is there a way i can make one of the custom roms more Verizon freindly? i would like a way to get a voicemail notification and have the verizon tabs in my market. I currently use Fresh rom which im loving but for the obvious reason there is no verizon stuff.
This is the Evo forum for sprint. Check your local phone forums for a rom.
This is a rom request for a EVO

you want verizon go to verizon like UrbanMuppet said
Im on Verizon, Using a EVO, THIS IS A EVO SECTION NOT A SPRINT SECTION
I think what's being said is, you can't just flash a different ROM for different carriers. The Evo can't be used with Verizon because they won't activate a phone they didn't sell. So your request is nonsensical.
EDIT: You say you're on VZW. Theoretically that's possible, but how did you manage it? Regardless, virtually everybody else is on Sprint, including the devs, so there's no means to develop a ROM for another carrier, and there's certainly no incentive.

O.K. The HTC EVO is an exclusive SPRINT PHONE. Far as we all know the EVO couldn't be activated on WHORIZON!
Who says they won't activate an evo on verizon? It depends on who you know or are. I can't count how many times I have seen a tmobile employee with a jail broken iphone.
Verizon do an ESN swap anytime they want, and if not you can use cdma toolkit to change your esn.

Using an iPhone on TMo is a totally different game. That's GSM which goes off the SIM card. Yes, you could get Verizon to activate an EVO, but they have to agree to do it. Usually they won't, based on what most people have reported from direct experience.
How i have a Evo on Verizon is totally irrelevant to the topic, im simply asking if a few Verizon things could be tossed into a custom rom. Im sure they can but i haven't a clue on how

Oh, well now you've GOT to tell us.
But my original point remains: Nobody else has their Evo on VZW, as far as I'm aware, so nobody has a way to develop the ROM.

id like to know how you managed to get it on the big red
My buddy has done esn swaps on multiple phones, so I'm sure it's possible (he used to use verizon phones on sprint network), but like everyone said, since it's pretty uncommon, and there's no way to develop and test for vz roms, you're going to have a hard time finding what you're looking for.

Isn't there a way I could take the .apk's that set up voicemail and market from my incredible and install them on my evo or put them in a Rom ?

Why would you need a rom for that? Find some verizon android apk's, and try to install them directly on the phone with one of the numerous file managers out there

its a brand new device running Eclair. I want to upgrade and root to FROYO!!
please help
Its possible. There are a few threads about t-mo and cricket and boost mobile
Tmo and cricket are gsm...
You can flash it to metro pcs or boostmobile and get 3g
Not sure about verizon tho
Also, I think you'll need MSL's and stuff

No, T-mobile is GSM.
This phone is CDMA.

Tell him to wait. T-Mobile will have their version out very soon. And, no, your phone won't work. Sprint is CDMA and T-Mobile is GSM.

Guys i wanna flash my Epic 4g to boost but the phone i have on boost is a samsung replenish can i do it using that phone?
I'm not an expert but it should be no problem as long as you are able to pull the required info as per the "epic 4g to boost...getting the data working" thread. That thread uses an incognito as donor but my understanding of why so people use that phone is its just a low cost 3g phone that most don't mind retiring permanently after the switch.

I'm assuming that phone is a 3g phone at the least so yes you should be fine if you follow the proper steps

there should be no reason why you can't. the replenish is a cdma phone, the epic is a cdma phone. just make sure you have all the required files needed.
Hello, I have Sprints version of the Galaxy s2 and would like to totally switch plans/service to Virgin Mobile...I have seen online elsewhere that this is possible but no direct directions on how? I would prefer Virgin but Metro PCS or Cricket would also do if they would function properly with the phone. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
There have been quite a few threads around here regarding flashing over to metro, but I haven't seen anything about virgin. Do a search for metro flashing and like I said youll find a few different threads.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App
Its only possible by rewritting esn as virgin is owned by sprint and each virgin esn is scanned in their system

i tried running search on flashing metro but the only useful info i got was for using another phone model...anywhere i can find model specific flashing info for the SPH-D710? the only experience i have with flashing is taking my old galaxy from froyo to gingerbread using odin...guessing i would need an actual guide if one exists? thanks for your help!
Look up a program call qxdm I believe or cdma workshop u have to rewrite nam and prl if u wanna go to metro then connect phone and dial ##8778# or #8778# and switch phone option to modem need any help shoot me a pm

You sure can. I have the exact same phone on Platinumtel prwpaid which also runs on the Sprint network. Just rewrite the ESN as stated above...

I know iv seen some saying the sgs2 disnt need a "donor" phone..but i heard sonething about changing something for the 3g to work i just dont see video or info how to get the esn to virgin...i have cdma workshop but not sure what to do with it..lol

I have a quick question: is it possible to flash BACK to sprint after flashing to virgin mobile? This is with an epic 4g touch that had a clean esn.

Yes, it should just be a matter of reversing the process you used to flash/pgm your device to VM... Assuming you did retain all of the relevant data from your original setup...

Does anyone know if you need to flash the virgin mobile version of android 4.1.2 onto a sprint epic 4g touch in order to use Virgin mobile or can you just use any of the sprint roms and just swap the info out from a virgin donor phone.
thanks
Gentlemen, I would caution you on discussing the changing of ESNs here in XDA. As I'm sure you know, flashing this way is now illegal and talking about piracy and the like in the threads is frowned upon by the mods. Just trying to help. Good luck!
