ok right now that makes sense for what a radio does on your phone so in theory could you actually make a phone that works on sprint work on the verizon network by just changing the radio on it. in theory...
one important aspect of the radio system of the phone is that the phone has to be able to interpret the radio signal......which (more experienced people feel free to fix this) is why ROMS are often cooked for specific carriers....if not for a specific carrier then carrier cabs and prl files have to be installed so that the phone knows what to do with the radio system that it is "listening" to....
For instance, I know that I can use KAOS take 5 ROM (originally written for Sprint if i am not mistaken) and install it on my device, utilize the carrier cab for Cricket ( my service provider) and the appropriate PRL file and use the ROM....will everything necessarily work perfectly right off the bat, no...it wont....then I would have to do some registry tweaks etc to get things like internet and mms to work properly...
But, if the radio version is not talking to my carrier, what good does everything else do? nada...zip...zilch...
Somewhere i saw a list of compatible radios and ROMs.....i didnt subscribe to that thread so i will have to do some digging and maybe i can come up with it again......
