Comparison of different GPS-capable ROMs (Bell.ca)

Hello ,guys..

Recently, I've burned several ROMs to my Touch,
all from your wonderful website,
but after two days of trying this and that,
I was not able to come to a definite conclusion which one I''ll stay with..

Therefore, I'd like to start this thread, ultimate aim of which
is to compare different things available for our carrier (Bell.ca),
to provide some guidelines for those who need them,
and to let everyone express his-her
own taste about what`s best..

My modest (and very preliminary, in order of flashing) remarks:

1) NFSFAN`s http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=29399

- fast, gps locks in tens of seconds, full of goodies,
unfortunately, it has some troubles (at least in my case)
with "advanced network fuctionality" for Activesync .. Maybe this is because it provides a slicky option to connect your Tough as a simple USB drive?



2) ghettofreeryders` http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30261

lean, mean, attractive, but unfortunately, no GPS lock for tens of minutes... Maybe one should run Bell`s PPST.exe?



3) Old_Man_Jenkins's (Bell, OEM, go to ftp link there), http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30332

so far, no troubles, fast GPS lock (tens of seconds), the best GPS precision and SENSITIVITY..

(to be updated)

P.S. Can someone explain the differences wrt GPS behaviour?
