Would you be willing to help me unlock other Skates.

[Guest magikstar29]

If yes,it seems T3 from Taiwan have some different driver than european phone.

the rom is an european release so i'm sorry ihasn't got chinese language

[Guest dadashi]

an OMC without 3G...thats like a bull without bullocks...hope it gets fixed soon...

@ Johnny Hung...could you do a rom dump for the forum without clockwork or rooting...just the plain rom without modification....if you installed clockwork your rom would be worthless...

[Guest magikstar29]

i don't know why 3G doesn't work,it works good on mine,do you have the right apn,maybe my rom doesn't have your.

i haven't got an OMC so i can't test on it.

Does anyone have the 3G issue?

Nice Rom!

Curious issue though...middle and left hardware keys are swapped, menu now acts as home key, home key operates the menu.

Other than that, I like it.

[Guest magikstar29]

it's the problem of variants versions of the original skate,this rom was made from an SFR Staraddict,the Orange Monte Carlo have different swap for the hardware button.
