Roam Override Widget


New app on the Android Market today, the Roam Override Widget. The widget allows users of Qualcomm based CDMA phones to manually force their phone into a roaming mode. This is particularly useful for users who occasionally experience a weak, unreliable signal, but the phone will not roam to the stronger network. Unlike other options, this widget does not require root access.

Tested on the LG Optimus S, but should work on others. Give it a try and let us know your experience! Most custom ROMs do not include the software stack required for this to work. This app is targeting users who do not root or modify their ROM.

  2. I desperately need this for my Samsung Epic 4g on Sprint, but it does not appear to be available for my phone from the Android Market. Is there any way to make it compatible?

  4. i would like to see if this app works on my samsung transform but i don't even have the ability of downloading it because the app store says it's incompatible with my phone. if you want others to try this on other phones you need to set the capability designation in the app store to all android phones and then provide a disclaimer OR make the app available independently. i would gladly pay upwards of $10 for this app if i'm able to even test it on my phone and it works. please contact me at bloodysox@gmail.com if you think you can work with me on this.

  5. I have this app installed on my LG Optimus s and it freezes up and becomes unresponsive. Turning off the phone is the only way to get it running again. Any thoughts? Would really like this app to be solid.

  6. I just found that if you remove the widget and reinstall it it works again too.
